Day 34 – 40 Days of the Shofar

Shevarim (pronounced sh-VAW-reem), is a tekiah broken into three one-second segments. The sound of the shevarim means “broken ones” or “breakings.” This hints to the breakthrough God has for us especially during the appointed fall season. It’s a reminder of ‘teshuvah,’ when we return to God and fulfill the potential we have in Him. It’s a time to examine ourselves in how we are treating our relationship with God and with others. The Lord wants to help us break free from negativity, selfishness and any hardness of ego and pride. When the shofar is sounded as a weapon of our warfare it will begin to scatter these and other enemies and begin to release a powerful spiritual breakthrough in our lives. This is always accompanied by a return to tzedakah-when we reach out to others with acts of kindness, benevolence and blessing.

Day 33 – 40 Days of the Shofar

Tekiah (pronounced t-KEE-uh), tekiah is a straight, unbroken blast lasting three seconds. The tekiah shofar blast — is the sound of the King’s coronation. The word tekiah means to sound a horn, but it also means to drive a stake firmly into the ground. In other words, it signals we are to let the Spirit of God and the Word of God penetrate deep within our spirit and soul. The sound draws us back to the revelation that there is but One True God who is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Jesus may well return on the Feast of Trumpets, as the blowing of the shofar that signals the coronation of the King, is blown to proclaim His return. I Thess. 4:17
