Blow The Trumpet

Joel 2:1 "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand..."

There is a trumpet blowing throughout the land today. That blast you are hearing is awakening the believers for one last, great move of the Holy Spirit across this land. The people of our nation are trembling-some with excitement, others with fear and trepidation. Those with excitement are expecting a multi-dimensional move of God, while those that are fearful do not want change or the removal of the status quo. The liberal agenda that has crippled our nation is now under assault by the armies of God and those that have promoted it don't know how to take it. The children of God are once again proclaiming that we are a nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The threats against our Jewish brothers and sisters have increased and deepened, but our President said we will stand with Israel. We all stand for human rights, but our laws that have been bent and twisted by the left must be reinforced to retain order. Individual liberties must be honored for all, but that doesn't mean if we don't except their lifestyle it should be forced upon us. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God makes mistakes, but that all things work together for good. For too long the Christian has been made to seem ignorant, pathetic, and filled with bigotry because we stood for Biblical principles in life and about life in general. Things are beginning to change!

Are there still battles ahead? Yes, there are! Will we continue to face criticism and hatred? Yes, we will! That's why it's time to blow the trumpet and sound the alarm. Something good is about to happen in the Spirit. In the midst of great darkness the sound of the trumpet blast gives a clear signal to the directions we're headed. Church, it's time to blow the trumpet. It's time to unite ourselves as one and declare the Day of the Lord is at hand. With one mighty blast the sound of victory can come forth. Now is the time-the Day of Salvation is at hand-Let it be known throughout the land.
