Men should trust and identify the way of God in all sphere of life challenges , as the host of heavens are available for us to fight our battles , e.g. No weapons form against us shall prosper , if God be for us who can be against us , as Balam could not curse the children of God , when you retained your sonship in the Lord , the host of heaven will remain with you to fight for you .
It is a captivating chapter. Any battle against the children of GOD is God 's business and He uses the prepared and decided men. The joy riders and hypocrites have no business in the Kingdom of God.If you have them in the church they derail everything cause they are neither here nor there. i know i dont need everybody to fight the battles of my life. i only need God. AMEN.
Gideon 's army was reduced to 300, they fought the midianite armies with trumpet and lights, the midianites fought among themselves, flee and defeated.. as a child of God we are born to overcome any plan of enemy in our life..
I love the CHARACTER OF GOD which comes out vry clearly of being patient with Gideon until doubts were over God HIMSELF HELPED Gideon to do away with doubt when HE told him to go and listen wat was being said by those two men
God spoke to Gideon,but he doubted, requested for signs to be sure, but mere human dreamt, dts the time he believed and took action.We should learn to believe God and stop disputing with our creator. What He says He will do He will do.
I am finding the book of judges to be very meaningful and captivating. I want a little bit more understanding in regards to " And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.". Did God see that if he were to give the Medians over to Isreal who obviously were in greater numbers after the battle would Isreal become arrogant in ways and may become like their oppressors? Please advise..I am learning the bible whenever I can and I need a little more understanding on breaking terms down..Thanks
There was gideon and here is now you a servant of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. That the KING of ages needs no superior numbers, cowards, and dogs to proclaim and defend his gospel against the anti-christ confederacy. One man and the the Bible,coupled with righteous and holy living can slay all the pretenders of the gospel and the enemies of the cross with all their formalities and rituals in the church today. In all the congregations of hypocrites who reside in the tabernacles of bribery he will eventually purge-for His honour and glory. So be it amen and forever
This chapter clearly shows Gideon working with God and in full obedience to God.
He does not question God but quietly does as God commands him to do letting God have full authority.
It reminds me of a time I didn't ask God for his permission or guidance I did what I wanted to without God's counsel and experienced loss and hurt. Things do not work out well when we go it alone.
