– 2 Chronicles 13:12
Blow Baby, Blow!
Are you ready to BLOW?! Is your trumpet poised, your deepest breath drawn? Do you have the note already planned out? The Victory over your battle is yours for the taking, if you will just Blow Baby, Blow! It's gonna take heart! It's gonna take courage! It's gonna take a deep faith – the faith that God Himself has already given you by the Power of His Holy Spirit – but YOU have to make the first move; blow the first note; get the party started! You have to signal to the devil that the battle has begun and you and your God ain't takin' NO prisoners!
"What trumpet?" you say.
"Blow? What are you taking about Blow?"
"How am I going to get victory by blowing a trumpet?"
Can't you see the obvious? God is on your side! He's your Leader! You (and me), are HIS priests, and He's given you (and me), the responsibility to let the enemy know we're coming after him. God has given us the power and the authority, through the Name and the shed Blood of Jesus, OUR Lord, to proclaim HIS Glory and to stand in Victory and Dominion over our lives, our families, our church, our schools, our neighborhoods, our cities and towns, and over this entire world! He's given us the most powerful weapon; the most awesome instruments of battle . . . our voice, and He's charged us with using it, Powerfully! Confidently! And with Authority!
Cry out a great battle cry! Blow that instrument from the top of your lungs! Shout the name of JESUS! Let the enemy know what he's in for! When he comes to you with doubt . . . JESUS! When he tries to test you with fear . . . JESUS! When he attacks your health . . . JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! Blow that trumpet name of JESUS and send the devil running! Let him know that he will NOT win any battle because your God, my God, OUR God, is the God of the Angel Armies and HE CAN NOT BE DEFEATED!
Go ahead . . . try it. Yes, it's going to take some practice. It's going to take getting used to. It's going to require you to take your eyes off of yourself for just a minute . . . focus on ALL that God has done for you. Call to mind the Victories He's given you and the Grace that He's gifted you. Make that very first battle cry . . . that single trumpet blast . . . be the cry against the pride in your life that is stopping you from releasing the Power of Jesus' name at the top of your lungs! Take Courage! Lift your head! Fill those lungs with the deepest, most Faith-filled, purest gulps of God-given air . . . and Blow Baby, Blow!
Prayer
Father thank You for the Victory! Thank You for trusting us as Your priests and for giving us the responsibility to blow the battle cry – to take initiative over our own lives and for letting the devil know that he's already been defeated! Thank You for being our God! Help us to shout the name of Jesus with total abandon and release of Power! Help us to realize and understand the true power of the Faith that You have given each one of us! Help us to Blow the note of triumph today!
Have a Blessed and Victorious day everyone!
