A Clear Call

 Judges 6-7; Psalms 52; 1 Corinthians 14 

“Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet…”

Judges 6:34

“…if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?”

1 Corinthians 14:8

God’s call to Gideon, and his requests to destroy the altar to Baal and Asherah and replace them with a proper sacrificial altar to the Lord, were all preparations for the anointing of the Holy Spirit on Gideon’s consecrated life. God will not anoint “mixture” in our lives. We cannot serve lust, money, power, and God. God wanted Gideon’s life to be a clear trumpet call empowered by the Holy Spirit.

If the trumpet doesn’t sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?

Is there a clear “trumpet call” coming from our lives for the kingdom of God?

Are we blowing our own trumpet, or is the Spirit of God speaking to and through us?

The Body of Christ will respond to the clear sound of the trumpet.

“Lord Jesus, blow your trumpet in the power of the Spirit through my life and mobilize your people in mission, for your glory.”
