Push the Envelope Extend the limits of what is possible!

Judges 6:12-13 “And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

Gideon’s circumstance and ours maybe a world apart but their can be similarities especially when comparing your actions of God in your life and the gap is not what you really want it to be.

His frustration made him have a lot of questions like what the miracles he God was famous for and was apart of his families stories telling him about his ancestors experience with him seems to be in a land so far, far away. ? people do we feel the God of miracles is he far away from us too. or for some the God on the answered prayers does he answer yours today. Does he still do miracles and do you need one right now? Can anyone tell me how to bridge the God of that time with the God of this time and now.

Your frustration is definitely not the same but wanting him to be so present in your life is your desire, help my life, fix my family I feel that some part of it is in captivity and the bars are not the same but definitely feels confine and restricted. Can I do something about it if this changeable? What type of miracle do I need?

Let’s start at building ourselves up here the angle tell Gideon thou mighty man of Valor! First thing to do make the elevated upgraded position of title or position stick.

Similar to a bungie jump, I taught my babies this when they were little fall backwards and I will catch your fall!

2nd thing before you do something courageous it will turn our alright don’t matter how you do it. Like before you fly check your wings little birdie Phase 1 or 2 you won’t fail just gotta do something that separate you from where you been living. Take away things that block your view of him! I don’t know what that is but it maybe distractions, habits what you do with your time occupying your interest. Move away form everything and get alone with God! Make a place where you visit with him and him alone, in prayer, reading meditation, steal away.

3rd thing is he proves himself value in your life in the first real move to teach you he is your valuable asset. Tell God its alright you are my valuable asset when you are for me who can be against me. This is a little stretching but discovery of God being there with you while you tread a little water.
