Discuss Judges 6 Page 2

1.We should always trust in God because is able 2.God is always faithful and he keeps his promises 3.God is part of our problems but He is solution to our problems 5.God has power to break and to destroy generation curses

I have always like the book of Judges, but I have never gotten as much involved as I have now, since reading the prophet Gideon. Since I have started to read and has gotten the knowledge that I am getting, I will continue reading.

God shows up and He says When God showed up the Bible says that the angel of the Lord or Jesus literally showed up. Jesus came and just sat under a tree. He s looking at Gideon and He says hey! Mighty man of valor. Gideon looks around to see if there is anyone else in the wine press with him. Because he s in agreement with failure and his weaknesses. Gideon is basically saying why are you talking about me like that? I am the least of my clan. I am the least of my family. You don t even know what family I came from. Besides that , God has a banded us. We feel like nothing good is happing in our lives, that all I am is a victim. I am a victim of my past, I am a victim of my family. While God says excuse me, mighty man of valor. I want you to go in my strength. Because I will never leave you or forsake you. God is speaking to you according to your potential. Not your pass.

We see ourselves differently than God see s us When God came to Gideon, He didn t speak to Gideon s problems. He had the solutions to the problems. He didn t speak to Gideon the way Gideon thought about himself. He spoke to his potential. The devil will speak to us about our inadequacies, our weaknesses, our failures, about our pass, about or goof ups and our mess ups. Even when we get into areas we should not be in, the Holy Spirit will reveal to us or convict us and tell us that is not who you are. God will not speak to your inadequacies, our your weaknesses. God will always speak to your potential Most of the time we do not see ourselves with potential. We see our weaknesses and our inadequacies and our failures because it is the devil that brings them up all the time. My question is this, why do we believe the Devil more than we believe God? Why do we let the devil speak these things to us and then we come into agreement with it, and then don t believe what God has said about us. That is why so many of us are defeated all the time is because we don t believe what God says about us. When God shows up, Gideon is in the wine press, and he is afraid that the enemy is going to come and still his grain from him. So he s hiding, hoping that the enemy won t come, and steal from him, because he was doing something fruitful. Sometimes when some of you start getting fruitful or bless and then some you start letting the devil steal from you.

This verse shows that Jehovah God wants us to have open and heartfelt communication with Him through our prayers. He allowed Gideon to ask an honest question from the heart, but God reassured Gideon that he was with him. This example also shows that servants of God may experience some very difficult times, but God has not forsaken them and he will be with them to help them endure.

In most cases we panic the sorrounding facts,but the truth is a true christian must not panic because God has loaded you with mighty power .Just have faith and believe that God is on your side.

god will use us to fulfil his purpose if we strive to make our selves available psalm40 8 to him according to his will.prov16 4

Every individual is made with hidden endowment that can only be discovered in God.

The lord is our peace and our strength. All the peace that we may be in need of from our Jehovah, no other name shall restore us to an eternal peace of mind, but the JESUS NAME ONLY. WE shall see him in glorious power to come and deliver us from all the wicked ways and we shall built HIM an altar withiin our hearts to offer our bodies as living sacrifices to HIM WHO SITTTETH ON the throne. Definitely we shall see Him.

Israel was derlived to the hand of the enermy by god because they forgoten god and they worshiped the altar of baal the god of their for fathers which is not good at all

I marveled at how human Gideon was when the angel of God came to him and showed him miracles and he kept wanting more and more proof that it was God will that he do what the messenger from God told him he was to do to save Israel from the Midianites and Amalakites. Gideon didn 't feel good enough to be called upon for such a task and kept asking God to prove himself by completing tasks .He was even afraid God would get angry with him but kept asking for proof anyway .God did not get angry with Gideon but did the tasks he requested .God knew Gideon felt inadequate and afraid so He put Gideon 's mind at ease by doing what Gideon asked. All this was done by a mighty and loving God in order to use Gideon to deliver His people Israel from suffering again. This chapter shows to me Gideon 's human frailties and Jehovah God 's loving kindness and patience .

lsrael is in bondage to the midianites an Angel appears to Gideon and calls him to deliver lsrael, he overthrows the alter of baal, the spirit of the Lord rests upon him, and the Lord gives him a sign to show he is called to deliver lsrael...

Israel backslid n satan enslaved nation The leaders repented n God heard their cry He sought a man n He found Gideon inexperienced afraid yet God saw potential See what God can do when we allow HIM to train us as we yield all to the LORD Gideon had a closet meeting with GOD before he replaced heathen altar by the LORD S Only then he was bold enough to sound Trumpet to summon army God is recruiting why not copy Gideon n enlist in GOD S army

the role of parents in the up bring of their children matters a lot,Gideon was able to respond and challenge God with what he must have learnt from his parents"The miraculous deeds of God in Isreal's deliverance in Egypt" how do we equip the children.

GOD wants to do something for men but cannot just do that without a man. HE depends on HIS investments inside of us help, save and deliver the world around us. I truly believe that the story of Gideon tells us to understand that GOD needs us as the light to get out of the bushel and give light to our dark world, and as salt of the earth to get out of the shaker and give taste to the tastelessness around us. Wherever we are GOD needs us because our world has needs. Go in this thy might. You are never without an investment of GOD inside of you, go beloved! Go! Let's go!

God is interested in what we can become and many times not what we are now.he is interested in our fullfiling our destiny and full potential afterall he calls things that are not as if they are

Israel was delivered into the hands of the Midian because of sin or evil doing before the LORD, When GOD delivers you in the hands of the devil you will not prevail no matter how you pray, fast or worship unless you repent or turn back to GOD by abstaining from sin.

It really says what it means. But, oh, to have the LORD look at you like that.

I have a very realistic Hebraic question. I originally got into this dilemma respective of Psalm 110:1 and the Hebrew "adoni". I had been taught that the Hebrew "adoni" only referenced a non-deity (human) or a created angelic appearance. However, when I was reading and researching the subject, I discovered a brief notation in acclaimed BDB lexicon on page 11 that declared this same Hebrew "adoni" is defined to be a "Theophanic angel" (Theophany) with respect to both Joshua 5:14 and Judges 6:13. This BDB cited Theophany then Joshua 5:14 and Judges 6:13 would leave no debate as to the fact that the Hebrew "adoni" can indeed mean a Deity as well as a non-deity. The Hebrew "adoni" is cited some 195 times in the MT but only these 3 Passages can actually suggest a Theophany and Deity. Your response to this concern will be most appreciated. Barney

Yes we so easily get our attention on our circumstances instead of keeping God as our focus.
I believe that is our bigest lesson to learn as a christian and I thank God for his mercy and patience with me.
Gideon was blinded by his circumsatances v13 and accuses God of not being there but often it is in those circumstances we realize He is there with us.

God says his thought are not like ours
God picked up Gideon's strength from Gideon's confession and Gideon did not realize it. He did not understand why God told him to go in this strength
. Our confession matters a, lot. All other signs Gideon requested for are just testing God's patient. Whenever God is ready to use you, all he needs you to do is to allow him to use ypi. He has given you the power to deliver his mandate an

I think God want us to believe what he calls us and not what we feel,we might feel that we are week like Gideon, but got says we are strong and able to do anything through him who strenghen us. i think we should always beieve what the word of god says about us not what our circumstances look ilke.
