Let’s Read

(12)The angel of the Lord appeared tohim and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord iswith you. (13) “Sir,” Gideon replied, “ifthe Lord is with us, why has all thishappened? And where are all themiracles our ancestors told us about?Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us upout of Egypt’? But now the Lord hasabandoned us and handed us over to theMidianites.” (14) Then the Lord turnedto him and said, “Go with the strengthyou have, and rescue Israel from theMidianites. I am sending you!”

Judges 6:12-14

We must learn how to put our strength in GOD! This will give us vigor to finish the race with success.

Psalm 27:2

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Vigor - ability to grow

1 Corinthians 15:43

“Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but

they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength.”

In order to transform our

weakness into strength, the

weaknesses must be buried.

Gideon was weak an

insignificant. He had no valor

and was rejected by all. But

the Word of God was so

powerful, that it

transformed all his

circumstances.

The LORD said “mighty hero” to someone who had lost the strength to conquer when his family was rejected.

It was hard to believe that the Lord could be speaking to someone without courage to confront such a large foe.

What helped Gideon to see the words of angel fulfilled?

He believed

He accepted them with

all his heart When someone accepts the Word with all his/her

heart, a miracletakes place.God has decreed that those whom

He sends have His support. We have been sent by the Lord.

Fear – the greatest enemy of the anointing.

If you confront fear, there is VICTORY!

Inferiority – a spirit that makes you feel incapable.

God values you and He has great blessing for your life.

Negativity – a spirit that controls your thoughts. It

makes you see adversity bigger than it really is.

Surrender your weaknessesat the foot of the Cross and

you will see how the Lord

transforms it into great strength.
