Trumpet Signal
Numbers 10-11; Psalms 27; Mark 1
“’Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out…When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.’”
Numbers 10:2, 9
The silver trumpets gathered the community and its leaders, but more importantly, the sound of the trumpets signaled dependency on the Lord. When attacked or oppressed by the enemy in their own land, the sound of the trumpets signaled to the Lord that the Israelites needed rescuing. “…if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?” (1 Corinthians 14:8) The readiness to hear the Word of the Lord or prophetic word is often the key to a breakthrough in our spiritual battles.
Who is carrying the trumpet in the church today?”
Who has the Word of the Lord?
We need less recycled words of men from each other’s books and podcasts, and more, clear trumpet sounds from the Lord!
“Lord Jesus, I desire to listen to your Word and obey; only you can rescue me, for your glory.”
