🌸And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their *right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. ( Judg 7:20)
🌸When the Lord delivered Midian into the hands of Gideon, the wisdom given them was to stand on the hill and break the jars, and raise their lamps with the left hand and the trumpets with the right!
🌸They carried no swords 🗡️ or shields because all their hands were fully occupied and the Lord delivered the battle in their hands!
🌸How?
With the lamps , the trumpet and the word they spoke( they shouted the sword of the Lord and of Gideon) they changed their situation (being under attack and out numbered), their condition ( being slaves of Midianites who used to take their produce for free) and their position ( from victims to victorious).
🌸The Lamps
The King David tells us in his Psalms that God’s word is a lamp 🪔 to our feet. The lamps signify the word of God!!
🌸The Trumpet
The Trumpet on the other hand signifies a message for the moment (revelation).
And even things without life, making sounds, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
(1 Cor 14:7)
🌻The trumpet signifies the announcement of a time or a season. Whether it is war , or happiness, only a man alert in the spirit can discern the times & Seasons.
🌻In this case, the Trumpet signifies the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in God’s word. Just like the sons of Issachar who carried understanding of what Isreal should do at all times!
Paul gives more explanation:
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian (stranger), and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian (stranger) unto me.(1 Cor 14:7)
🌼The word of God is alive and speaks always and we this is why we need the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to understand the application of it.
🌸Speak God’s Revelation.
The Bible says that they shouted, the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon. They spoke in revelation of what the Lord was doing at the time, and as the Midianites heard this, they started to kill each other!
Praise God!
It is important to speak forth the word in the wisdom of God and the Revelation of the time or situation you are in.
🌼Forexample Jesus sometimes healed with just saying your Faith has made you well. Other times, he healed by spitting on mud and touching the eyes of a blind man. The difference is in the revelation of the moment!
🌼After this he would speak and it would happen! Eg. Woman your Faith has made you whole!
The Lord is calling us to a life and situation of Actively Experiencing the power of the Word.
We know this is by Faith as Hebrews talks of those that obtained a good report by Faith!
🌸Be armed with the word, the Spirit of wisdom and Revelation and Proclaim this revelation to influence what’s around you!
🌸This is Paul’s Prayer of Influence to the Ephesians (1 :17 -18)
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you:
1. the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
2. the eyes of your understanding being enlightened,
3. that ye may know
-what is the hope of His calling, and
• what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
• and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power,
🌸We understand that with the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation we influence Situations, Conditions and Positions!
God bless you!
