Are You a Glory Carrier?
Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, ‘The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!’ - Judges 7:20
Gideon’s three hundred men put torches in their clay pots and surrounded the army of the Midianites. When the signal was given, they broke the clay pots, and the light flooded out. It confused the Midianites to where they fought and destroyed one another. The clay pots were destroyed before the battle could be won. The directions they received from God required that their own ways be ignored.
It’s a beautiful picture of the children of God having Christ inside them: a treasure in earthen vessels. They didn’t focus on how many were in the enemy’s camp, and neither should we. As the Holy Spirit deals with pride and self-sufficiency, the glory of God manifests in greater measure: a flood of love, light, and total healing is being poured out. At the same time, our enemies are being conquered and are turning against one another.
We release God’s glory with humility and acknowledgment that He is our sufficiency. Our stepping forth in one accord causes confusion in the enemy’s camp. Greater is He who is in us, than he who is in the world. We are glory carriers and couriers, from glory to glory!
