Update: Under spiritual warfare attacks for the past few weeks.

I've been dealing with spiritual warfare pretty heavily. So at this moment I have temporarily shut down the Triumphant Trumpet Facebook. At the moment I think I'll be on the site for updates and information. Normally I'll go through attacks for a day or two. But since this has been weeks I'm just temporarily disabling it. I'll be back.

Satan has been attacking in every which way and it's made things difficult. Satan can cause you to attack yourself and doubt yourself. As well as use those around you to cause hecticness.

I have seen things that say things like "God won't use people if..." or "God won't use people that...". God will. God can. God does. I know this. I've seen this. I am this. I saw something that was saying this person is weary of prophets that don't have friends. I was like "Really? I've been rejected my whole life. So I don't have friends." Jeremiah was alone and rejected his whole as well. Rejected and persecuted. Even by his family, as was I. All of these things are ways the enemy attacks and distracts, puts you down, and causes you to doubt who you are. Although it's difficult when it's you against your own mind. God can raise up anyone at any time and has.

I don't speak against those who say they are apostles or prophets. I use discernment which isn't always easy because you don't know. You don't know by looking at someone or know by who they are surrounded by. You don't know their story, nor God's story for them. Discernment can be hard because satan can also prophesy and work miracles which can look like God to get you to follow him. But I can tell you that I question those who judge who can be a prophet, what they look like, or who they are around. I question those who are looking for many followers (God will send who needs to follow you) or those selling things or promoting many things to profit off of God's words. God leads and will lead others in your direction. Back to discernment... when all else fails, I tell God my thoughts, worries, concerns, or questions on someone or how they are doing things through Him.

Now Satan also uses people around you to distract or pull you back from your purpose here. Let me tell you, I have teens and toddlers. The easiest to use to distract. Lol It's been rough here. Car issues for months, stuck in the house, teen issues, toddler issues, and my 3 year old has had nightmares for weeks. Breaks my heart and she can't tell me what about still. On the bright side of it all... Praise the Lord I got a new car the other day! Which to me was a very good sign of things looking up. That and after crying out to Father days ago that I want to hear Him and that I'm struggling to hear Him He sent me the chorus to 'Lay Down Sally' over and over on my head minutes later.

The words for the chorus are:

"Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms

Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon I've been trying all night long just to talk to you"

That really comforted me to give me a reminder that He's still here and wants to hold me, talk to me and comfort me. That's what He wants from His children. Even when life is hard and we struggle to hear Him. He found a way to let me know. He uses music a lot with me. I love it. It's usually songs I haven't heard in forever or songs I don't know and I have to look up. 😊

Anyways, I wanted to post an update here as I know some are wondering why no posts or updates on Facebook and this takes some stress off along with disabling Facebook for the moment. It's now 2:15 am here and I should probably get some sleep. I am ok and Triumphant Trumpet is ok. Hoping everyone else is doing well. God bless and love you. ❤️✝️
