“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.
DIE AGTERGROND
Kan
hierdie getuienisse Bybels verantwoord word?

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

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”.

the June 2000 Apostles and Prophets Conference in Versailles, Indiana was when

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

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”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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!”

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!”

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,

have sat through 4 meetings without pain.”

left.”

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!

good, and it was God.

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?
DIE PROBLEEM AANGESPREEK
1.
Die gelowiges in Christus lewe onder ‘n nuwe verbond nie onder die ou verbond
nie
·
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 6:23 - Die ewige lewe is 'n vryegawe van God, ook vir jou.
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.
