“THE SHOFAR” BEWEGING


“THE SHOFAR” BEWEGING 
 

Hierdie beweging is ook verwant aan die Hebrew Roots beweging.  Die amptelike blydenis van geloof; blyk Christelik en korrek voor te kom. 

Wat egter teen gewaak moet word is die belangrike plek wat die Sofar in hulle byeenkomste inneem. In hul lering gryp hulle terug na die Joodse gebruike van die sofar soos dit in die OT opgeteken is, ook met verwysings na die trompette wat geblaas sal word in die eindtye, waarna in die NT verwys word.

Kan ek die beweging as uit en uit ‘n dwaaling beskryf, ek is nie so seker daarvan nie, maar dat ek verskeie Skriftuurlike besware oor hul leer het is baie duidelik.

RIVER OF LIFE MINISTRIES

“When Jim blew the Shofar, the Spirit of God hovered over those meetings and we were so blessed.” - Pastors Hal & Phyllis Culberson

 JUBILEE WORD OF FAITH CHURCH
“When Jim blows the Shofar, the anointing falls, many have been blessed and healed through the blowing of the Shofar. We had one lady in our congregation who was totally healed of a blood clot in her leg when Jim blew the Shofar.” - Pastor Tommy Giles

 HOLY OF HOLIES MINISTRY
“Dear Jim,

I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect back on our last two Holy of Holies meetings. When you blew the Shofar in the Church at Freeport, New York, the atmosphere was changed to Holy Spirit air. The people would not stop shouting for their deliverance. Many were set free that night. The walls of Jericho (Freeport) did come crashing down. Your teaching on the Shofar was excellent. The Word of God came alive for those in the sanctuary. I felt we were transferred to Mt. Zion, and the Word of the Lord came forth through your horn.

The following morning when you ministered to the people at Christian Community Church with the Shofar, I saw the healing power of God flowing through their bodies. Many lives were changed that morning.

During our weekend of ministry in Slidell, Louisiana, the fire of God moved through the sanctuary like a wall of fire, as you blew the Shofar. I was personally touched deeply as you ministered to me at the end of the service. You and your wife Carla are a blessing to the body of Christ and to this Ministry.

Thank you for your faithfulness.

God Bless You”.

Dr. Stanley J. Kmet

 
SANDY VALLEY COMMUNITY CHURCH
“The blowing of the Shofar changed the atmosphere of the church bringing healing and freedom from fear and pride.” - Pastor Jim Green

 
TRI STATE RIVER OF LIFE
“The climax of the June 2000 Apostles and Prophets Conference in Versailles, Indiana was when Jim blew the Shofar over Bishop and Mom Hamon. The room was flooded with the awesome presence of the Lord!”

Pastor Dan Moore

 
NEW HOPE FELLOWSHIP
“When Jim blew the Shofar, the anointing fell and many people received deliverances immediately!” - Pastor Steve Perry

 WORSHIP MEETING, JUNE 2000
“My most startling experience with the Shofar came recently as I approached the altar to receive an impartation for the Gift of Evangelist. As I tarried at the altar, Evangelist Jim Barbarossa lifted up the large Shofar and began to trumpet out short, quick blasts in half second intervals. As each blast rang out, my inner being from around my chest area was being jolted. Something was being ripped a little further out of me with each blast of the Shofar. My personal discernment at that time, and now, is that an evil or evil spirits were being blasted out. Praise the Lord!

God Bless You!”

Brother Jim Hamilton

  A.F.C.M. FAMILY REUNION
“When Jim blew the Shofar, a hush came over the crowd, then spirits begat spirits. The lifting up of sound and spirit started as a low rumble and ascended until it was a crescendo. People were laughing and crying at the same time. I heard many say “something happened” or “I felt something.”

During another meeting when Jim blew the Shofar, the group immediately went into high praise with voices and song. He blew the Shofar again and most of the group were so caught up in the spirit they did not even hear the blowing of the Shofar the second time. I asked several and they said “No, Jim didn’t” but a few confirmed he had blown the horn the second time. God used him and Shofar to lift people up to a higher plain.

God Bless”

Jerry Manning

CAPE COD CHRISTIAN CENTER
“I have grown to appreciate the special gift and anointing that falls through Jim’s blowing of the Shofar. My wife had the nagging pain in her lower back healed at the blowing of the Shofar in one of those meetings. Praise God!”

Pastor Tim Whitehead

 PORTAGE, INDIANA
“We have had the privilege of attending several services and meetings where Jima and Carla have ministered with and taught on the Shofar. The teachings were highly informative and quite thorough; leaving no doubt that God has anointed and appointed them in their area for such a time as this. The sound of the Shofar is pure and distinct, blessing all who hear it.”

Barry and Joy Deckard

 FINAL WORD MINISTRY
“The first time we heard Jim blow the Shofar, we were leaving their home. To us it was if a battle had been won and the victory was being announced. We were so blessed!

The next time we were privileged to hear the Shofar blown was at an A.F.C.M. family reunion. We had just finished singing and a holy hush had come into the room. Jim in obedience to the Holy Spirit blew the Shofar and praise exploded and the Glory of the Lord was almost tangible. The only word I can use for these experiences is awesome.”

Dale & Pearl Raatz

 LAPORTE, INDIANA
“When I hear the sound of the Shofar coming from the breath that God has given you, it is anointed of the Holy Spirit and you can feel it in your spirit, soul and body.”

Love in Jesus, Jan Murray

 BOLD LION MINISTRIES
“I first met Jim Barbarossa in June of this year at the Apostles/Prophets 2000 Conference, held at Christian International Family Worship Center in Versailles, Indiana.

During the course of the meetings, he blew the Shofar. In my national and international ministry, I have many times heard the Shofar blown, but none with the clarity and anointing that this man possesses. The Shofar became a musical expression of the anointing of the Lord. The effect was inspirational and carried the kiss of the Spirit of God upon it.

In His Service”

Glenn Miller

 
October 1996, Kenya, Africa
Sister Phanice: “The blowing of the trumpet (Shofar) you brought here didn’t just make a noise. It declared ‘Victory!’ Demons were cast out! Captives were set free! It revealed that God is reigning in our city in a mighty way. Since you left, we have been having wonderful testimonies about healing, deliverance, and people being set free from evil powers. The Holy Spirit is leading people from one point of glory to another.”

Since then I have blown the Shofar as the Lord leads and, wow, what God does when the trumpet is sounded!”

February 1997, Cold Water, Michigan
“Woman Set Free,” She said, “I have been bound by fear for over 15 years. When the Shofar was sounded that fear left me. I have been set free. I feel so good, I’m free!”

May 1998, Cleveland, Ohio
A man healed said: “I have been in pain for over twenty days. I was hurting so much, that I wasn’t going to come to church tonight. I only speak Spanish; and when the man (Jim Barbarossa) was speaking I could not understand him. But God spoke to me and said, ‘When he blows that horn, something great is going to happen.’ As soon as he blew the horn, the pain left my body. I am healed. You see, I can move my arm and shoulder without any pain. God has healed me!”

September 1998, F.G.B.M.F.I. Dinner Meeting  Holland, Michigan
A man healed said: “I had pain in my right shoulder for a long time. I could not lift my arm above my shoulder. When you blew the Shofar, the pain left!  I can lift my arm without pain. I am healed.”

October 1998, Woman Healed of Back Problem  Tulsa, Oklahoma
“She had been in pain for 4 years! When the trumpet was sounded, pain left.”

 November 1998, Healed! No Surgery Needed
We went to Fountain of Life Church in Michigan City, Indiana just for a visit. At the end of the service, a lady came over to us. She said, “When you were here in October, my husband and I came in late for the service. When we were entering the building, we heard the Shofar being blown.” Her husband was having a problem with his shoulder and he was going to have surgery on it. Several times throughout the service Jim blew the Shofar. She said, “Each time the Shofar was blown, he felt something happening in his shoulder.” He went back to the doctor. They could not find any more problems with his shoulder and they did not need to operate on it. Thank you Jesus, Praise you Jesus. That is good news, Jesus is our healer.

 January 1999, Man Healed
“I have had a problem with my tailbone for a long time. I could never sit through one meeting without being in pain. When you blew that Shofar, the pain left my body and I have sat through 4 meetings without pain.”

January 1999, Boy Healed
“I had a lump on my chest and was in pain. When the trumpet was sounded, the pain and the lump left.”

 February 1999, Pain Left When Shofar Sounded! Hinsdale, Illinois
A man had been in pain for many years. Several times during the meeting, I saw him touch the left side of his face. As I blew the Shofar, I saw him grab his face. He came up at the end of the service. He said, “I had shingles and was in severe pain but when the Shofar was sounded, the pain left. The pain was gone.” Thank you Jesus!

March 1998, St. Louis, Missouri
My back was damaged. I would be in pain a lot of the time. During a revival with Evangelist Barbarossa, at the sounding of the Shofar, Jesus healed my back. I thank God for them and their obedience.  D.C.

 October 8-10, 1998

 My husband and I took our family to an AFCM conference in Tulsa, OK. My husband and I attended this conference the year before and were blessed by the testimonies of how God was working all over the world. This year we brought our family, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and also a woman and daughter from the church my husband pastors. Tuesday night the first meeting was a lot of the same introducing everyone and what AFCM is all about.

In the morning meetings they have members get in front of everyone and give testimonies on what God is leading them to do and what he has done in their lives. Jim and Carla Barbarossa were the first couple Jim Kaseman (President of AFCM) happened to call up. This is a couple my husband was in touch with, and they were already planning to minister in our church that following month.

Now I had been suffering with lower back problems since the birth of our third daughter. She was on my sciatic nerve the entire time I was pregnant with her. The pain continued to get worse. I was taking up to five extra strength Tylenol a day just to get the day started. And with three children (19, 9, 4) I was always going.

Wednesday morning I woke up in the hotel room and was experiencing a lot of pain. I took my three Tylenol hoping I wouldn’t have to take any more. I went to the meeting and sat down with no relief at all from the three Tylenol I had taken. That is when Jim Kaseman introduced Jim and Carla Barbarossa. Jim explained how the power of God moves mighty when the Shofar is blown and I was interested because our daughter has blown the Shofar before at our church. He went on to blow it. By then I was in so much pain and ready to receive my healing that when Jim blew the Shofar I felt the warmth come down from my shoulder sot my back and I was set Free! The anointing was so strong. When it was blown God moved. I stood up and had no pain and continue to be pain free. Glory to God!!!

Hallelujah I’m Free

     VRAE RAKENDE DIE GEBRUIK VAN DIE SOFAR
           
Word die gebruik van die sofar in die NT voorgeskryf?

Verwys Jesus na die sofar as van enige geestelike waarde?

Is daar enige Bybelse voorbeelde dat die blaas van die sofar die Heilige Gees tot aksie roep?

Is daar enige Bybelse voorbeelde dat die blaas van die sofar tot genesings lei?

Is daar enige opdrag dat ons die sofar moet blaas vir  genesings?

 Sou die blaas van die sofar persy verkeerd wees? Persoonlik dink ek nie so nie, maar daar is geen opdrag in die Skrif, of voorbeeld vanuit die Skrif dat die blaas van die sofar tot die bogenoemde gelei het nie.


DIE PROBLEEM AANGESPREEK 

1. Die gelowiges in Christus lewe onder ‘n nuwe verbond nie onder die ou verbond nie

 a.  Die Ou Verbond het tot niet gegaan
·         Heb 8:13 As Hy sê 'n nuwe verbond, het Hy die eerste oud gemaak; en wat oud word en verouder, is naby die verdwyning. 

b. Reeds in die NT sien ons dat die Jode die Christene in Jode wou verander deur die onderhouding van die wet en die besnydenis, dit is in die vergadering in Jerusalem afgekeur soos op geteken in Hand 15
·         Hand 15:5 Maar sommige gelowiges uit die party van die Fariseërs het opgestaan en gesê: Dit is noodsaaklik dat hulle besny word en bevel ontvang om die wet van Moses te onderhou.
·         Hand 15:9 En Hy het geen onderskeid tussen ons en hulle gemaak nie, aangesien Hy hulle harte gereinig het deur die geloof. 15:10 Nou dan, waarom versoek julle God deur op die nek van die dissipels 'n juk te lê wat ons vaders en ook ons nie in staat was om te dra nie?

c. Die Nie-Jode was nog nooit onder enige OT gebruike nie, slegs die Israeliete.

d.  Alle OT gebruike is in Christus vervul.

e. Geen offers meer, geen nuwemane en sabatte en diere offers
·         Kol 2:16 Laat niemand julle dan oordeel in spys of in drank of met betrekking tot 'n fees of nuwemaan of sabbat nie, 2:17 wat 'n skaduwee is van die toekomstige dinge; maar die liggaam behoort aan Christus.

2. Daar is geen opdrag in die Skrif dat die sofar geblaas moet word vir die verkryging van die dinge wat hierbo genoem word nie.

 

3. Daar is geen Skriftuurlike voorbeelde of bewyse van die praktyke wat hierbo genoem word, tydens die blaas van die sofar nie.
 
DIE WARE EVANGELIE VAN JESUS CHRISTUS - OPSOMMEND  

ROM 3:23 - Almal het gesondig, ook jy.

ROM 5:8 - Omdat Jesus ons liefhet, het Hy aan die kruisgesterf en die prys vir ons sonde betaal.
ROM 10:9-10 - Glo met jou hart in Jesus en dat God Hom uit die dode opgewek het en bely dit met jou mond.
ROM 10:13- Vra die Here God om jou te red en Hy sal.
