Bro. Marlon  - Sunday School morning
Text: Judges 7:8
Title: Gideon

Gideon had a faith problem - he just needed encouragement. The battle was already won - because God said it. What Gideon needed was confidence in what God said - not our feelings. When God says to go, we ought to go. What God was fixing to do, Gideon laid out his questions for assurance. He was outnumbered 450 to 1...Whew!

The Lord knows u - He knows we lack faith. And He knows we need encouragement.

Source of encouragement - Music, the Bible

God was gonna give encouragement from the enemy.

God can work in spite of our weaknesses, limitations, and disabilities. "Everything I have, God's got it"

We worry too much about what we can't do, than what we CAN DO

Verse 15 - He worshipped God.

In life, you can have a lot of problems. But if you trust God, He will calm your fears. Every 'Christian' should be able to tell somebody else, just do what I can do.' ~ Bro. Marlon

Jesus left an example for us, and be an example for other people coming along. We need to be careful who we follow. **Who do I follow??

Timing was wonderful. Three companies split apart. "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon"

'And they stood every man in his place' - Everybody was convinced to do their job in their place. If every Christian would just step up and do their job in their place, they would be undefeatable.'

Pitchers make a great picture of us. The last thing you would carry into battle in your pitches. It couldn't be of any use unless it was broken. Our will must be broken - and once it's broken it shows commitment, no turning back and it had to be empty - empty of ourselves and filled with the Holy Spirit.
