It's Supernatural

Sid: We want everyone everywhere to hear the anointed shofar the rams horn. Why? Because I have a guest I’m speaking to him at his home in Valparaiso, Indiana. Jim Barbarossa. And Jim was instructed through a prophetic dream that he must blow the shofar, the rams horn. When he does this miracles take place. I believe it’s an end time sign and wonder but not only does miracles take place others that begin to understand the shofar and start blowing the shofar miracles take place when they blow the shofar. It’s a transferable anointing. At some point this week Jim I’m going to have you blow the shofar. And when you blow the shofar in a church no longer does miracles take place of healings and emotional miracles people get set free from fear and even pride, demons literally tremble what do you mean by that?

Jim: Well I have had people tell me that they can actually feel the presence of the room change that they know something took place. And at first people would ask me and I wouldn’t have an answer for them I just didn’t really understand them. But as I started to learn the learn showed me through the word, for example the book of Revelation chapter l verse 10 it says “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day and heard beside me a great voice as a trumpet. The voice of God is like that of a sound of shofar and when we’re obedient and we blow the shofar as He tells us we’re leasing like His voice in the atmosphere. And I’ve seen the presence of the room completely utterly change.

Sid: Well, I can tell you that when I traveled to do my television there a couple Bob and Janie DuVall that work in the ministry and they bring their two children. And there son Paul blows the shofar. I have them come into my hotel room and clear out (I’ve just been saying this a lot lately) clear out the demonic atmosphere he blows the shofar in the bedroom I’m staying and I literally feel like the atmospheres cleared out.

Jim: And it lines up with scripture because Ephesians 2:2 it says “Where in times past you walked according to the course of this world and according to prince of the power of the air.” The devil domain is the atmosphere that’s where he’s at. And when we’re obedient to the ordinance to sound the shofar we’re releasing that which is like the voice of God into the enemy’s camp. It’s like a bazooka were pounding oomph!, right into the enemy’s camp.

Sid: Now you told me that when you were in Africa this is where your wife had the dream about the shofar. You started blowing the shofar and all of these miracles started happening that’s when you realized. But then she had a second dream, tell me about that.

Jim: Well the second was that she was to come and tell me that I was to do more than blow the shofar but I was to have an understanding of why I blew the shofar. God was going to give me knowledge so that I could explain people why I would blow the shofar. And when we got home from that trip from Africa I have to say that I was not obedient quickly and I just kind of let it lie for awhile. But then the Lord started telling me to take it and use it and as I would take it and use it we started seeing more miracles, more healings, more things were happening. And at that time my cry was “God why? I know this is you but why are these things happening? If this is You it has to line up with the word, it has to be in the Bible.” Then I started to see. And the more I looked the more I sought the more I found and I found things like “The voice of God is like that of the sound of a trumpet” and that answered that question, why the atmosphere would clear. And there are just so many scriptural reference to the shofar and examples as to what can happen when we are obedient to blow it.

Sid: Jim besides the dream that your wife had there was something else that pushed you even further into blowing the shofar and seeing these miracles happen what was that?

Jim: Well in May of ’98 Carla and I were heading to New York to teach at a church in the area of witnessing. And on our way there we stopped at a church in Cleveland, Ohio. Met the Pastor once but we had never been there but they had just happened to be having a little conference of some sort that night and the Pastor said “I want you to take 10 minutes and I want you to share about your ministry, tell people about what you do and so on and so forth.” And I asked Carla I said “Well, what do you think we should do what should we talk about?” She said “Ask the Holy Spirit she’s a smart lady and I did that and the Holy Spirit told me to blow the shofar. And so when the time came and we were released to do that I blew the shofar and didn’t see anything happen, didn’t hear anything. The people let out a mighty shout when it was blown of course but at the end of that service the Pastor said “Has anybody got a testimony?” And I was totally amazed, a man came forward who spoke only in Spanish and spoke with an interpreter the man interpreted it into English so I could understand it. The man pointed at me and said “I wasn’t going to come here tonight because I’ve been in so much pain I couldn’t lift up my arm higher than my shoulder because the pain was so bad and when I saw that man with that horn God told me something great was going to happen when he sounded it; and when that horn was sounded the pain totally left my body. And he stood there waving that arm that he could not lift above his shoulder. Shortly after that a man was there got up and spoke prophetically to Carl and I and he said “God has not only called you to blow the trumpet but God has called you to teach and bring understanding so people know why miracles, healing why these things are happening. And when I heard that it just confirmed further what Carla had said to me in a dream, the dream that she had, that I was to become more and more knowledgeable and have a better understanding so that the people would be able to see that the shofar was not just for back then, but God is calling and raising people up to use it today.

Sid: As I mentioned you were amazed when you saw so much about the rams horn, or the shofar, or trumpet, but it all refers really outside of the silver trumpet in one instance it really refers to an animal’s horn; the Bible is loaded with that.

Jim: I was totally amazed when I saw that it was just trumpet I guess I must have just passed over it. But when I started to relate that it meant shofar then it just really started to come to life for me.

Sid: Give me just a few things that the shofar was used for in the Bible that we can use for today.

Jim: Well one of the areas that really spoke to me was found in Judges and it has to do with the enemy camp going into chaos and Gideon and the 300 were instructed to use a lantern and a ram’s horn. They surrounded the enemies camp. And I thought I think I would have rather had a tank but you know they only had a lantern and a rams horn. Well as they were obedient and they blew the rams horn it shattered the lamp the enemy who out numbered them 30, 40, 50, 100 times however big the numbers were but the enemies camp totally turned on itself, sword to sword and annihilated itself, totally wiped itself out. And I thought “If God would anoint a ram’s horn to do that then why would not God anoint a ram’s horn to do that today defend the enemies chaos.” And it really tied into one of the things that Carla had spoke to me. She said in the dream that she had she saw a dog running down the road with his tail between his legs. And that the Lord had said to her “That’s what happens to the enemy when you obey and blow the shofar.”

Sid: Now you’ve done the studies you have experimented by blowing the shofar and seen that God is honoring this today the same way that He did in the Bible. Then you wrote a book called “The Ministry of the Shofar” tell me about this book.

Jim: Well the book was something I had never planned on doing number 1. I was heading home from a conference one night and we had just blown the shofar at this conference and the Lord said to me “Write the Book.” And I said “Write what Book?” I was kind of lost and He made it very clear to me that I was to take all of the things that He had shown me from the scripture and all of the things that we had actually been walking out as we used the shofar. And we were take these and we were to put them in a book so that people could see what the Bible says about the shofar and how God is using it in this day and this stage that we live.
