I was praying about our upcoming Harvest Fest Conference, when a trumpet appeared in front of me, turned, and was blown right in my face. I knew immediately that this is what the Lord is about to do--the church will soon receive an "in your face" message from heaven.

In the military, as in biblical times, different trumpet sounds mean different things. When entering military service, one of the first things taught is how to distinguish the commands given by the trumpet or bugle. This is why Paul wrote in I Corinthians 14:8, "For if the bugle produces...
