SHOUT! THE TRUMPET HAS SOUNDED (video)

Pastor Prince preached a powerful sermon on 25 Sep, the one about the ram's horn and marching around the walls of Jericho. I was again encouraged by this message. Pastor was saying that when the Israelites marched around Jericho with the ark of the covenant (signified by the presence of Jesus today), the seven priests and seven ram's horns, Joshua told them to remain silent. I always thought it was the Lord but I now see that it was Joshua who said this. They had to do this for seven days. They must be wondering how silly it was to do this while their enemies laughed at them. First day they circled one time and went back. Nothing happened. Second day they did it and nothing happened.

For seven days they did it and nothing seemed to be happening to the walls. But from the start of their march, the foundations of the walls already began shaking. It was just not visible to their eyes. Pastor said when you start taking holy communion, don't be discouraged if you see nothing happening. Behind the scenes, Jesus is cursing the roots and removing the sickness at its roots. That disease is already cursed at its roots and soon this will show at the leaves.

Joshua learnt from the previous experience that when the Israelites complained and murmured, they died in the desert. They couldn't enter the promised land. It was their murmuring that caused their defeat. So this time round, he was smart enough to tell them not to speak a word, remain silent when circling the tower. He didn't want them to be defeated by their own words, making the same mistake as their fathers. Pastor said after you take communion, don't defeat the act of faith by complaining that the symptoms are still there or getting worse.

Continue to partake of the holy communion, giving thanks to God for breakthrough. The Israelites had to march around Jericho for seven days and seven times for the seventh day. They got to continue believing God will cause the walls to crumble though nothing seemed to have changed. Pastor said sometimes the manifestation comes instantly but most times, it is a process. You got to persevere at doing it and press on. Don't give up because you are already in the last round. Don't throw away your confidence in God because it will be richly rewarded.

Pastor had someone demonstrate the shofar blowing for different blast has different meanings. Trumpet sounding will bring Jubilee into our lives. At the end of a long blast, Pastor said 'Shout for the Lord has given you the city!' Wow! I felt something resonate in my spirit. Yes, the trumpet has been sounded and we can give a shout of victory. The walls will crumble next and we can go in to take possession of our inheritance! I was so ministered by this ram's horn sounding that I had to put it into a video message. Hope you will be blessed!
