The Matchbox and the Blue Jar is an allegorical short story wrapped in mystery. In it, I recount the most significant spiritual battle of my life, which happened during an encounter with the Lord. This experience brought me healing and deliverance through what felt like a night spent in the valley of the shadow of death. I can’t define my encounter with the Lord as a dream, vision, or just plain reality, but maybe this lack of definition leaves room for it to become, in some way, your story too. We all have a story to tell, and maybe–just maybe–you will unlock yours as I reveal the lessons I found inside the matchbox and the blue jar.
