WHOSE TRUMPET ARE YOU BLOWING?

WHOSE TRUMPET ARE YOU BLOWING?

Dr. King’s colleagues shadowed him, as he plowed through the soils of ambiguity to bring forth a dream that bore the tears of his forefathers. Together they held fast in relentless passion and unmitigated loyalty, giving diligence to their eloquent leader. And while in hindsight we too echo his voice; those co-laboring with him carried a minimal hope of ever seeing the dream become reality.

Yet it was the vigor and drive of that promised reality that forced the issue of teamwork, thus establishing an undivided circle. That circle of unity was not the first, nor was it to be the last. For since the rise and fall of man in every kingdom and society, there has always remained an enforceable remnant that bonded together; to fuel the fire and ignite the world.

We must strive to be yoked with that caliber of men whose soundness is not challenged by the winds of adversity. Those not measuring themselves to overshadow or assume rights of which they are not privy. For The LORD gives to every man his portion, and gathers that which remains.

When men attempt to seep, or discover the conscious of another as to employ his own self-seeking exploits, he is angry with his own portion. But, if through patience and perseverance, he waits for the interlocking of all things; he obliges the greater good (Romans 8:28).

A man of vision recognizes that it is GOD who designs and purposes the blueprints from which dreams are embossed.

Those trusting GODS must not be as Sarah /Sara (s??r?/; Hebrew: ??????), who being ignited by her own passions; and bore a hybrid reality. Neither replicating the self-exalted grandeur Absalom /Avshalom (Hebrew: ??????????, "Father of peace") who stood beside the gate to draw the simple to himself (2Samuel 15:2). But, as Abram/ Abraham (e?br??h?m, -h?m/; Hebrew: ????????? , who continued in faith until the manifestation of the harvest. For what hope do we have in Ishmael?

And while we are certain the prophet, the overt wisdom and counsel from the studious is in order; it is through The Spirit of GOD, The Son will reveal the mind of GOD.

? God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds (Hebrews 1:1,2 KJV).

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26 KJV).

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you (John 16:13, 14 KJV).

In discerning this wisely, one can clearly see that The Spirit does not promote Himself, but accentuates the words of Jesus, and Jesus bear witness of The Father; all of which we are the recipients. Therefore any show boating, boasting, tooting their own horn, patting their own backs, not to mention the drama queens; must all take a back seat to works of The Holy Trinity; of which we all so miserably shrink.

So let us concede that the use of intercepting may be encouraged in the National Football league; but in the realm of The Spirit it is strictly prohibited; as the church does not fight against the church (1 Corinthians 12 {underscoring vs. 25}) . One given to this comportment is led of his innate impulses; and not The Spirit (Roman 8: 14). By failing to mortify his carnal nature he circumvents The Spirit; and is left to reason that which sustains him.

His character is then carved by the mundane; which is cause and effect (not rest in Christ). Being presumptuous he assimilates the god-like figure, appointing himself accountable for the outcome of both his and the affairs of others. Thus having done so he becomes stressed by the mess and alive to the jive; thus accomplishing; perceives himself spiritual. So that the studiousness of his labors is nothing more than a fanciful claim to fame.

World history chronicles the countless sagas of needless bloodshed and calamities having occurred as a result of men assuming undue roles either out of season or outside of the will of GOD. And for many of these super hero types who finally resolve the original issue; too often they cause more harm than good. This can also be seen among those who so ardently split or thwart ministries in their rush to speak from a pulpit. So then, what’s a pulpit, compared to the sacrilege and accountability of the many who so immaturely (?) follow these prudes.

As an in juncture, I might add that this is not to discourage any from wishing to be used by GOD as in Isaiah’s vision and assignment (see Isaiah 6). But, rather, what I wish to convey is that Divine assignments are given directly, especially those that effect masses.

  • These endowments (gifting’s) can be visions, epiphany’s (?πιφ?νεια ), dreams, or theophany’s (Θεοφ?νεια ) all of which may be experienced in succession, over time or at one. But whatever the time frame, it is certain if they are from GOD they will most assuredly occur in due season. Such can be observed with the prophets seers/khō?zeh'/vision) of Sundry times (po-lü-me-rō’s), Kings, Judges, Solomon, Ezekiel, Fathers, Mary, Joseph, John etc. (Koine Greek: ?πιφ?νεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation", "striking appearance").

When one is therefore eager to accomplish a task that is not directly given to him (jumping the gun) the effects may have devastating results (Lucifer, Eve, Sarah, Joshua, Absalom, Gehazi , Ishbo'seth, Judas, etc.).

Being overly zealous in the initial stages of a work may be caused by some presumed stressing matter; resulting in failure to plan properly. In their desire assume to prove their worth. They may assimilate the role of a victor for the sheer applause of others. From this sort are birthed many cults and upheavals.

Let us then be astute in recognizing that Yahweh does not place any in combat, based solely on demand. Sometimes He simply quiets the storm by persistent prayer and fasting (2 Corinthians 10:4). It is then my consent that The LORD GOD will ultimately raise up tactical coaches; equipped and prepared for the onslaught of the mêlée. Those whom He has promoted, being faithful, experienced, and select. In the final analysis let us wait for the sound of the trumpet before we run out shouting (Joshua 6:10). -Blessings!

My consensus here is with regards to the apostates, which impair the body of Christ; and not that of civil or moral rights. I was hoping to determine the probable cause of those who so blatantly divert from the vision of church leadership, thinking themselves to have a greater role (mission; vision, revelation). The succinct legacy of Dr. King served only a prelude from which to launch, seeing that he and his colleagues seemingly accomplished their mission; being unified. I obviously failed in making the connection. I apologize. –Blessings!
