Judges 7:16-18
Dividing the three hundred men into three companies, he placed trumpets and empty jars in the hands of all of them, with torches inside. "Watch me," he told them. "Follow my lead. When I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly as I do. When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, 'For the LORD and for Gideon.' "
For the LORD God our Father and for the Lord Jesus Christ we "blow the trumpet and shout" through the power of God's Spirit in us to gain victory over the Devil. We watch what the Lord Jesus Christ did and do exactly as as He did in total obedience to the heavenly Father. We learn obedience to the Father from Him. Obedience to everything that He had commanded will work out victory over the sinful nature of the Devil in us. It's not in your human strength or in how big the "numbers" are with you. You only need three hundred obedient men to defeat the Enemy.What does this tell you?You cannot defeat the Devil in your life with your own human strength, but only through the power of God's Spirit you can. As you obey everything Christ had commanded, you will defeat the Enemy with your Commander directing the war. The Commander of the Lord's Army who goes before you is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He will not go before you, if you do not obey Him.
Here is a clear test between two camps, one camp which trusted in their own strength and the "numbers" with them on their side and the other solely in the power of the LORD and not in their "numbers" with them. A clear demonstration of God's power here for those who trust in the LORD and not with the backing of "numbers". We are going to witness much of this kind of demonstrations and the power of God from now on. There are going to be supernatural visitations of God on Earth to match the full moon and bloom of the sinful nature of the Devil in man. .Get ready!
