Post Election...

Wednesday, November 9, 2016 – The day after the United States’ Presidential election.  For many, including myself, this was an unbelievable campaign.  The candidates, their behavior, their belief systems, and character were all questionable in one respect or another.  However, the unlikely candidate would rise and become the President and send the entire country into a state of shock.  This unlikely candidate was one that went against the grain of American politics.   Throughout the campaign, he did not speak as a politician; he did not act like a politician; and, he did not have the prowess of the politicians we’ve seen throughout the years.  Most of all, he did not care what the opponents said about him.  He forged ahead with his message. 
 
Now I’m not posting a political message about the events during the campaign trails or the results after, though I have my opinions.  I can only say that all of what has happened is a message to the church of the Lord Jesus Christ to stand, go against the status quo and forge ahead with the message of the King of kings.  In this season, we must become the people who are truly unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We are charged with Blowing the Trumpet! 
 
Blow the Trumpet to Warn & 
Blow the Trumpet in Praise!!!
 
Joel 2:1 – Blow 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 is coming, for it is at hand:
 
Ezekiel 33:3 –  when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,….
 
Psalm 150:3 - Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
