Shofars in Christian Contexts

[sknoerr]

I would like some input as to shofars in a personal setting. Much of what you have discussed has been in a corporate setting. Do shofars have a Scriptural personal basis? I purchased my shofar recently for a couple of reasons. First of all - I have always loved the sound of the shofar - it moves my spirit - it feels like "deep calling to deep" to me. For some reason, when I hear it, it almost always lifts my spirits. There have been times that God has used me as a human shofar - and the only reason for that that I can come up with in my mind is that there were no people available with literal shofars to blow for the Lord. I have wanted to learn to blow one for a long time. I do not necessarily want to blow it in a corporate setting - just more for in my home - more for me - though that may sound selfish. Usually when I want to blow it is when I am feeling oppressed or heavily weighted down - I feel like blowing the shofar helps to break down walls -like the walls of Jericho - sets captives free - like how I may feel under certain circumstances - and that it can do warfare in the heavenlies in ways that perhaps nothing else can. Though I cannot necessarily point to Scripture to back up what I sense. I would like your input Dean, and anyone else's who has some ideas.
