WHY DID THE CLAY JAR BREAK?
My beloved witness, when you have poured out all that you can to make a difference, and you lay in a heap of broken clay shards, you are not alone! Yes I did send you, beloved one. Never doubt the anointing and Words I have placed within you. Yes, I chose you as a weak vessel. I used every portion you gave, whether you understood or not. I washed all the spots and flaws away from your efforts and I used your willing faith to conquer much.
What you see as total defeat is only a matter of perspective. Listen to the sword of Gideon. He was the weakest in his clan and the least in his father’s house. I chose him to lead an army of only 300 men to deliver Israel from the plundering of the Midianites. It was not through his strength that brought the victory, but his willingness to trust Me in his weakness and obey. I commanded Gideon and his crew to break their clay jars and it was only when their jars broke, that the blazing torches inside appeared to the enemy camp that caused their defeat. So it is with you, beloved one. When you have willing walked through brokenness in obedience to Me, I use this power of weakness to defeat much opposition. Heed this truth, swallow it, for in its wisdom is a powerful key to My perspective towards your healing.
2 Cor 4:7-12 NKJV
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels , that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed — 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
2 Cor 12:8-9 NKJV
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
1 Cor 1:27-29 NKJV
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
Judg 6:15-16 NKJV
So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” 16 And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.”
Judg 7:19-22 NLT
It was just after midnight, after the changing of the guard, when Gideon and the one hundred men with him reached the outer edge of the Midianite camp. Suddenly, they blew the horns and broke their clay jars. 20 Then all three groups blew their horns and broke their jars. They held the blazing torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands and shouted, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!” 21 Each man stood at his position around the camp and watched as all the Midianites rushed around in a panic, shouting as they ran. 22 When the three hundred Israelites blew their horns, the LORD caused the warriors in the camp to fight against each other with their swords. Those who were not killed fled to places as far away as Beth-shittah near Zererah and to the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.
