If God is for you who can be against you
Judges 3:31 (NIV)
31 After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad.
He too saved Israel.
Impossible situations
Know What?
Just like Shamgar if God is for us who can be against us?
With God all things are possible
Shamgar saved Israel for a time by doing something that was impossible in his own strength, We are saved by Christ for all time.
Know Why?
There is a battle in our lives - not against flesh and blood
Your life could feel like there are 600 Philistines attacking you right now.
Financial Hardship
Marriage hardship
When it feels like you are alone with 600 soldiers…I mean problems Jesus Christ is your victory.
What to do?
Shamgar used what he had been given a oxgoad…a farming tool
The Philistines invented Iron weapons.
Their weapons where better, stronger, Sharper, and more powerful than Shamgar’s, but He chose to trust the God of the impossible
Use the powerful tools that God has given you
Put on the Full armor of God
Why should they do it?
When you are equipped for battle you will be able to stand firm against the devil’s schemes.
The problems in life that we face may be as difficult as an army of 600 soldiers who are better quipped and better trained, but when Christ is you champion you will be able to win like Shamgar.
How to Do I use the Armor for battle?
1. Recognize the real enemy
It is not the people
It is not the sickness
It is not your lack of something
It is the evil in this world.
Shamgar was able to see the 600 who were against him.
If we get distracted by the product of the enemy instead of the root of the issue we will only be trying to put out a fire by spraying the flames instead of the coals.
Now not everything is a demon, but often our issues stem from our and others predisposition toward evil or selfishness.
If we are having problems in our family…stop fighting the person about the issue and find the truth causing the problem.
(belt of truth)
2. Trust the impossible
Shamgar was one facing 600, but God!
Whenever you have the Holy Spirit fighting with you
to strengthen
to protect
to encourage
to give strategy
You will able to do the impossible
Jesus said with man it is impossible to have salvation, but with God nothing is impossible
Once you have found that impossible salvation you can continue to walk in the impossible with God!
Worship Team
Invite all to the alter
What is it that is holding you back from the victory and freedom Christ has for you?
As the worship team begins singing ask Jesus to reveal what is holding you back and surrender it to Him
Allow God to work in your heart and mind.
When you feel you are ready you can join in singing as we close, but take the time to really allow God to work.
