Jubilee Trumpet A New Kind of Warrior, Born in the Wilderness It was a new generation of warriors who took Jericho, a generation of those who knew nothing of Egypt except the shared memories they had heard from the older ones while growing up in the wilderness. Unlike the previous generation, Egypt was simply not in them. It has often been said that when the Israelites left Egypt, they went out of Egypt but Egypt did not go out of them. This generation, born in the wilderness, didn’t wrestle with the desire for Egypt’s worldly goods as the previous generation had done. Neither did they carry with them any slave mentality. Their experience of God was of One who was able to provide their most basic needs through daily manna and water from the rock. To them He was continually manifest as a cloud to follow in the day and a fire in the sky to reassure them in the night. Consequently they lived under the constant Presence of God. The supernatural was not supernatural to them. It was a lifestyle and an expectation. In the wilderness they had been taught by God Himself that He was their total sufficiency. They had been trained to know nothing but Him.-----C.M
