Gideon the mighty Warior

Midian’s Camels 1-6

The children did evil again

the children are hiding in caves v2

The new war technology Camels

there was famine of food for 7 years v4

So they cried out to Yahweh V6

Gods Prophet V 6-11

I brought you up from Egypt

I Delivered you from Egypt

I delivered you from all your oppressors

I drove them out of as you came in to the land

I told you not to fear

BUT you did not listen

It was not Gods fault you are in this predicament

They had a sin issue that was worse than the the oppression of the Mideanites

Be Available 1. “Does God Really Care about Us?” (Jdg. 6:1–13)

Charles Spurgeon said, “The Lord does not permit His children to sin successfully.” God is not a “permissive parent” who allows His children to do as they please, for His ultimate purpose is that they might be “conformed to the image of His Son”

Proverbs 3:11–12 AV

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

If you are a child of the King, and God is oppressing you with the Mideanites, its because he loves you and wants his best for you

Put faith in you , or take sin out of you

The motive for Christian living

is not that we should gain something

But we may live up to something we already have

God is conforming you to the image of Jesus

Meet Yourself, no I mean Gideon

The Angel of the Lord= Jesus V14 the LORD

Emmanuel, God with us

threshing wheat in the wine press

the LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor

God looks at what you can do through Christ

God chooses the weak so that you rely on Him

Who has it all together?

Who is strong and and can handle every situation?

Then you are perfect

Blaming the situation on God V 13

God does not care about us

if he cared we would not...

our fathers told us about...

“God sure did more stuff back then”

Gideon’s Faith-ling

V 14 Go and defeat...

Go into all the world ---Have I not sent thee?

Again God says I will be with you V 16

2 Timothy 3:5 AV

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2 tim 3

Acts 1:8 AV

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

I’m the last person you should be asking… V 15

Again God says I will be with you V 16

Show me a sign V17

made a bushel of bread and a young goat

God demonstrated His power

disappeared

Now Gideon is really afraid

Peace be unto you V 23

A remembrance God is peace

only at peace with God if we ARE trusting

do we want to just exist or do we want to live...
