TEXT HEBREWS 11:32-34
THE EXPLOITS OF FAITH.
[32] And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, [33] who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, [34] quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.
Gideon was an Jewish warrior who was turned into a wimp as a result of the rampaging Midianites.
He was reduced by fear to a humiliated and defeated weakling.
In the book of Judges 6:11-12, God sent His word through an Angel to Gideon.
" The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. [12] When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”
Gideon received the word of God, mixed it with faith according to HEBREWS 4:2, and was turned into a warrior who subdued kingdoms.
"For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it."
Beloved, if you have faith the size of the grain of the mustered seed, you can command a mountain to be uprooted and be cast into the sea.
It's time to begin to put your faith to work.
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
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
