TEXT JUDGES 6:11-14
TOPIC : IDENTITY AND PREDESTINATION
[11]And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
[12]And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
[13]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.
[14]And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
Gideon was a liberator who saw himself as a captive.
He was fearful and saw himself and his people as being utterly forsaken.
It took an angelic visitation for Gdeon to realize who he was.
He did not know that he was the captain of the Lord's army.
That single visitation revealed to Gideon his true identity.
He immediately sprang from nobody to somebody,
From the backside of the wilderness to the palace.
You can become like Gideon if you discover who you are.
When you search out your real identity, you will become a person that can withstand the worst that the Satan can throw at you.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
