The Year Of The Lord’s Whistle
Sara Whitten shares an encounter she had with the Lord recently while worshipping in church. She also shares as she blew, she heard a whistle come from somewhere else in the room.
Excerpt:
American Heritage Dictionary defines “whistle” in several ways. Out of all the definitions, these three caught my attention:
1. “To produce a high-pitched sound by the rapid movement of air through an opening or past an obstruction.”
2. “To summon, signal, or direct by whistling.”
3. “To signal a rule infraction committed by (a player).”
In a rapid movement of God, there is going to be a “pushing past” obstructions and a spiritual opening. God is summoning and decreeing, and He is “blowing the whistle” on the enemy. Enough is enough.
As I turned to the Scriptures for references to whistling, I was stunned. Zechariah 10:8 (NIV) reads: “I will signal (whistle) for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before” (emphasis added).
This verse occurs amidst a chapter that is a resounding call to prayer. Their world, at the time, was riddled with confusion, as people worshiped idols, wanted to choose their own truth and morality, and squandered their potential in fruitfulness. In response, God said (through crying out in prayer) that He would answer them, give them back the governing authority that they had lost, help them overcome their enemies, and restore peace and faith in their own country. As this same thing happens in our world today, God’s promises are the same.
