He is tracing wheat. 68 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,120 He's hiding from the enemy, the milliners. 69 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,560 He's just trying to get enough food for his family. 70 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,920 Now this wine place where Gideon is tracing wheat. 71 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:27,120 This is a picture what God is about to do in Gideon's life. 72 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960 You understand what I'm saying? Let me explain this to you 73 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,080 because when you fresh wheat, you separate the grain from the 74 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880 chaff. OK, So the grade is this, this 75 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,680 to be removing from the chaff for the grain. 76 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,360 Now the grain. Listen, how many? 77 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,040 Of you know, OK, it's not bread yet, it's grain. 78 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,120 Now those of you that buy bread, you you have to crush the grain 79 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,320 needs to be crushing to find flour. 80 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,320 Then with the flour you mix well in water, right? 81 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,520 Then what do we do when we we needing OK, we need the until it 82 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,360 is flexible, until it's pliable, OK, and then finally. 83 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,960 Bikes in the fire and then it's ready to feed the hungry. 84 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,920 Then it is bread. OK. 85 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,640 And that is what catch what God was doing in Gideon's life. 86 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,320 He was fishing. The wine place was a freshing 87 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,280 floor. God was fishing. 88 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,280 Gideon. Oh, Hallelujah. 89 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,640 Are you with me? Somebody you understand what I'm 90 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,520 saying, OK. So God was removing the chuff 91 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,880 God from Gideon's. God was removing the unbelief, 92 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,600 the chuff of unbelief from him. He was crushing the fear that 93 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,840 held him back. He was mixing in the the 94 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,720 obedience into his life, OK, mixing that courage, it's with 95 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200 obedience. And so that was the question. 96 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,040 And then he was needing faith, OK, into his calling. 97 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,680 You understand what God is doing here, how he's working with 98 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,040 Gideon, OK. And then finally with Gideon, 99 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,680 preparing him for the fire of Tasty. 100 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,400 And so, of course, God, before God could rescue this nation, he 101 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,000 first had to rescue Gideon from his own unbelief. 102 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,800 Can you say it means somebody? You're getting this, OK? 103 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,320 And so just like wheat is. Transformed. 104 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,440 Into bread to feed the hungry, Todd was transforming Tydian 105 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,160 into a deliverer to bring deliverance to feed the nation 106 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,800 with hope and victory.

And he's worried. 131 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,240 He's like thinking. Oh my God, is this the day today 132 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,200 that the enemy is going to find me? 133 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,840 Because these many.

And when God says mighty 168 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,520 warrior, he's pulling into your true identity of who you really 169 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,880 are. When he scores mighty warrior, 170 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,800 he pulls on the courage, the strength, the anointing that 171 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920 he's putting you before you even pour my gun. 172 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,760 Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

You may feel defeated, but God 175 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,320 calls you victorious. OK, you may feel unqualified, 176 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,960 but God calls you chosen. Somebody shot Hallelujah, Rory 177 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,560 to God. So Gideon comes up with all 178 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,800 these excuses, OK.

That's how he is, he And so he 184 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,920 says Judges 615. Gideon replied. 185 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,040 But how can I say visual?

And so when I read about the 225 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,320 story of Gideon hiding in the wide priest, it reminded me of 226 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:52,480 another unlikely hero, a 26 year old coal miner working in the 227 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,640 mines by the name of Evan Roberts. 228 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,960 Nineteen O 4 from a small town with waves. 229 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,040 Oh yes, my cards anointing is at this place now. 230 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,920 He wasn't a preacher. He wasn't famous. 231 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,360 He was a shy quiet guy if most of his time spent most of his 232 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:22,360 time on the ground 13 years pray Lord bend me now that night a 233 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,400 small parity presence of God comes strong presence of the law 234 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,040 and he knew he cannot stay in hiding anymore. 235 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,840 He knew the days are over no longer stay he did. 236 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:41,000 He knew God has awakened it go and shake a nation. 237 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,640 Well that is the word at all. And so God told them to wake in 238 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,440 a nation. And so when a man or a woman 239 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,640 step out of a wine place, anointed of God, anything is 240 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,680 possible.

OK. 274 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,120 God freezed his heart but removed the chuff of unbelief 275 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,400 out of his heart.

You're walking out here today as 307 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,360 bread. Really. 308 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,840 That's going to feed nations, nations. 309 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,600 Just nations.

Are you ready for this church? 311 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,080 Because listen when the Angel of the Lord. 312 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,560 Cheered up and that Angel of God appeared on the Gideon. 313 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,880 It wasn't just little chat, chat, small talk, little casual. 314 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,200 That was a divine commissioning. Oh, Hallelujah. 315 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,360 And now this way it happened not on the mountainsop where 316 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:16,400 everything was great in Gideon's life, everything was good and 317 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,880 everything it happened in the. Wine press, the freshing floor. 318 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:29,000 OK, that is a place of sifting. OK, it's a place where that was 319 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000 useful is separated. What holds you back? 320 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,640 That's the place of a fishing floor. 321 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,680 OK, so it's a place of refining where God prepares something for 322 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,280 his purpose. It's a fishing floor moment. 323 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,680 It's a season where God comes and he cuts things away. 324 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,320 He cuts away relationships. He cuts things steps away. 325 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,680 Insecurity, doubt, fear, unbelief. 326 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,720 He cuts those things out of our lives. 327 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,920 Why? Because you cannot carry the 328 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,920 chaff into the old chuff into a new calling. 329 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:02,760 You cannot hold out to Mr. This crock give you the. 330 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,280 Growth. You don't want to be stuck. 331 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,560 We thank God for refining moments when we are refined, we 332 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,520 cuts and strips away the things because the old stuff cannot go 333 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,160 into the new calling. And I don't want to be stuck 334 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,280 forever in the same mountain and on the same white place. 335 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,920 No, we want to move on. We want to go on to the 336 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,200 battlefield. OK, so that's preparation. 337 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,200 So before he sends you, he shares you. 338 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,720 OK. Before Gideon faced the 339 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,120 Midianite army, God first gave him an assignment. 340 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,000 And this is a private assignment. 341 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,920 It was a private assignment to set him up the stage for public 342 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000 victory. And God says to get in key and 343 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,920 listen. I want you to go and cut off the 344 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,920 altar, your father's altar, to bow. 345 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,200 So listen, I want you to go and peel with the idols in your 346 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,200 family. Listen, this is this is the word 347 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,360 of the law, OK, Because didn't first had to deal with the idol 348 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,800 stronghold in his family before he can break the stronghold in 349 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,920 his nation. Are you getting this? 350 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,800 Are you with free somebody? OK. 351 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:17,040 And so the Church, we must first take down the idols of 352 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,960 compromise and of unbelief in our hearts before we can. 353 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,160 Deliver a nation. Hallelujah. 354 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,960 And so before Gideon fought Midian, he first fought the 355 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,200 compromise at home. OK. 356 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,080 And so before revival can flow in your city, revival must first 357 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,040 it has to flow through your house. 358 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,480 Somebody give God some flesh. Are you getting this? 359 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:46,560 OK, so every public victory, OK, every public revival or 360 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,880 breakthrough or move of God is first born within a. 361 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,680 Private place of surrender. I met somebody. 362 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,920 OK, now can we go a little deeper? 363 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,480 OK, let's go for this. Because Gideon asked God for two 364 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,000 confirming sights right now. The first one, remember Gideon 365 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080 laid down a fleece before the Lord. 366 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,760 Right now, I want you to see this in Judges City 636 for 367 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,360 those of you don't want to check up on the documentaries or on 368 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:21,760 there right now. It says here Gideon. 369 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,120 Say to God, if you will say this role by my hand as you promised. 370 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,760 Look, I will place a wool fleece on the freshing floor. 371 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,560 If there's dew onion on the flesh and all the ground is dry. 372 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,240 OK, Now did you catch that dew on the flesh? 373 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,960 I want you to see that. OK, dew on the freeze because 374 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:45,960 the next morning the fleece. Was soaked with dew, OK, so much 375 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,600 so heavily that it could run out of bowl full of water. 376 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,200 That bowl full. That is a prophetic picture of 377 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,360 the anointing A. Favour OK dew from heaven 378 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,080 soaking a surrendered. Life. 379 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,000 Did you get that that's. When you when somebody comes and 380 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,720 you surrender your life and you say God, I surrender, I give you 381 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,360 Ioffer it up. That is a surrendered life. 382 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:17,760 God yes, my life. Yes, my offering I give you. 383 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,080 I surrender everything. I place my all, I give it to 384 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,000 you. When you lay down your life in 385 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,240 surrender, you give your life over to God, and you say, God, 386 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,240 soak what I give you. Soak this offering. 387 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,440 My body is a living God. Will soak you. 388 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,920 God will trace you until overflowing. 389 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:44,880 Come on, it's a surrender of light, and you become a pole 390 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,600 full of blessing, of favour in the hand of God. 391 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,120 Amen. And so Gideon did not hold the 392 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,760 fleece, but for himself he laid it down. 393 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,360 He laid it way before the Lord in the wine praise. 394 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:08,520 That's listen, revival comes. It starts at an altar. 395 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:16,080 Revival always starts at an altar, a place of surrender, the 396 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,960 wine place, the freshening. For that was Gideon's altar of 397 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:29,520 exchange, his fear for God's boldness, his weakness for God's 398 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,880 strength, his doubt for God's confirmation. 399 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,520 So it's. Gideon's altar of exchange. 400 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,000 Amen. So church, we are not called. 401 00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:46,600 To live dry, we are called to live dressed. 402 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,280 I meant some of you as we just want God to confirm his word, 403 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:55,000 but we've not laid down anything. 404 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:01,760 OK, it takes a surrendered life. The fleece had to be placed, had 405 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,480 to be laid, had to be placed before it could be sought. 406 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,920 You see that? OK, so Gideon's first. 407 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,120 The fleece. The first one was personal, but 408 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:18,200 now he was not satisfied with that confirmation just to stay 409 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,440 with him alone. So he pray now. 410 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,200 The second one he prays again. Judges 6 verse 39. 411 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,880 And now let the crown be covered with deep OK. 412 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,480 Gideon understood something very, very powerful, that if he 413 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:40,840 was going to go into battle, he did not want to go in the only 414 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:48,400 one carrying the anointing, but the whole army to be anointed. 415 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,400 Somebody's getting this, somebody's getting this today. 416 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,360 The whole Army to carry the anointing OK, he didn't want 417 00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:01,160 just to be the only one carrying the anointing if he was going 418 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,800 into but but the whole army OK also needs to be anointed. 419 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,800 The army also needs to be drenched to revival is about a 420 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,760 whole company of believers saturated with the same annoyed 421 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,080 the same spirit of God, the whole come on somebody the whole 422 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,400 company of believers OK, filled with the Holy Ghost. 423 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,320 Gideon was saying Lord if if you are really with. 424 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,840 US. Then soak the ground, let all 425 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,520 the people that's going to go in battle with me also be anointed. 426 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,240 Everyone of them this fighting going into battle also be 427 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:44,320 anointed and let the ground be wet and let them carry what's on 428 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,600 me. Therefore we carry what you 429 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,400 place on me. Oh I feel this transferable and 430 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,880 waiting in this place this morning. 431 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,320 Oh, I feel this anointing and it starts for the ball and that's 432 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,520 what Kitty say. What's on me? 433 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,840 I want on the Army, not just on one. 434 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,840 I just 111. To. 435 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,520 Fight the the entire army. And so the next morning the 436 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,880 ground was wet and heaven was showing Gideon. 437 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,840 Oh yes, I am drenching the whole army with my presence. 438 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,640 Oh yes, I'm drenching.

This is our battle. 444 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,040 Hallelujah. This is our battle. 445 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,600 Somebody shot Hallelujah. Listen, it reminds me of Numbers 446 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,600 Chapter 11. When Moses got Veda, he was so 447 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,480 tired and exhausted. He really struggled and he was 448 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,840 so overwhelmed by the weight of leading Israel. 449 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,200 And God says surround yourself, bring in 70 others and I will 450 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,840 put what's on you. Moses, the same Spirit that's on 451 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,640 you, I'll put it on 70 others. It's transferable. 452 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:05,800 I'll put the annoy, I'll put in, Oh my God, I'll put that same 453 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,480 spirit that's on you and I'll share it among seventy others so 454 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,120 that they can help you carry the murder. 455 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,240 This entire 100 Bible is not just one person behind the pool, 456 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,360 but it's going to take the whole army. 457 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,600 It's going to take the every person. 458 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,560 God is rising up an army, Hallelujah. 459 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,200 And so God says, listen, I'm going to put that what's on you, 460 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,880 Moses? I'm going to put it on. 461 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,640 So that means what was on Moses was so abundant, What was on 462 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,280 Moses was so potent, so overflow, that God could share 463 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:46,320 it in 70 others 70 other ways. That's how strongly I was on 464 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,640 Moses that God could spill it over. 465 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,160 Listen, just that's what God wants to put on your life. 466 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,240 It's the saturation anointing of overflowing spilling over onto 467 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,880 your family, your workplace, your Reacher, the area where you 468 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,400 are. Come on, it's an overflow 469 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,560 anointing, overflowing. That's the anointing God wants 470 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,400 to put on you. It's an overflow which spills 471 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,520 over into your families, teams, generations. 472 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,760 I believe God is releasing an anointing into your circle, your 473 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,240 spouses, your families, your children. 474 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,360 It's overflowing, it's contagious. 475 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,360 It's spread like wildfire faster than any COVID, flu, or any 476 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,200 fire. It spreads faster. 477 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:31,720 It spreads faster like wildfire. Yes, raising a people around you 478 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,960 who will carry the same fire, the same vision in that company, 479 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,920 in that business, what God has called to that ministry, the 480 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,640 same courage people around you. Not anointing that God placed on 481 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,960 you to overflow. It's an overflowing anointing. 482 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,360 It's an overflowing anointing. Are you with me? 483 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,920 Yeah. Now I want to show you something 484 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,280 amazing. This is one of my favorite 485 00:29:54,280 --> 00:30:01,880 verses in Gideon's story, Judges 6, verse 34, it says here. 486 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,200 And the Spirit of the Lord came on Gideon. 487 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,200 Now the Hebrew, this is amazing because it literally means that 488 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,800 the spirit of the Lord drove himself with Gideon. 489 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,600 OK, that's powerful. I love that because think about 490 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,200 it, because God didn't just put an anointing on Gideon, but God 491 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,720 put Gideon on the. Spirit of God. 492 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,880 Stating to Gideon, my God, it's like, let me give you an 493 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,360 example. It's like someone that puts on a 494 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,720 garment like a like a cloak. So for instance, let me show 495 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,600 you. So they say, I go. 496 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,400 I represent the Spirit of God. This is Gideon, the Spirit of 497 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,040 God, the bow, says Cubs. Clove himself with Gideon. 498 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,400 I'm going to weigh this into battle and the Spirit of God and 499 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,800 Gideon and the Spirit of God says, right, I'm going to wear 500 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,640 this into battle. Gideon, Ayuri, let's go. 501 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,000 You're getting this. Yeah. 502 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,440 OK. So when God wears you, it means 503 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,960 God thinks through you. When God wears you, it means 504 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,040 that God speaks through your mouth, He walks through your 505 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,720 feet. When God wears you, when God 506 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,040 comes and he puts you on, it means. 507 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,680 He flows through your hands. Be healed in the mighty name. 508 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,080 What? Jesus? 509 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:36,680 Christ, it's for God stepped into gate when revival breaks 510 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,160 out, it's because the Spirit of God have found a people that's 511 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,280 willing to be his comet, willing to be his comet. 512 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,880 And he's not. Looking for a perfect foot is 513 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,120 looking for a willing foot. Gideon was not perfect, but he 514 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,440 was available, Yeah. Gideon was a. 515 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:58,280 Farmer. OK, not, not a fighter, but when 516 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,120 the Spirit clothed himself, the Spirit of God comes clothed 517 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,120 himself with Gideon. The fearful farmer becomes a 518 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,240 fearless general, killed and rotten of a space. 519 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,040 I feel the anointing. I feel the Spirit of God 520 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:19,920 searching, rising, awakening. Oh, Hallelujah. 521 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,520 He's searching. He's looking for Guineans right 522 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,520 now. Men and women. 523 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,320 He's looking for people right here. 524 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,960 The Holy Spirit is asking. He's looking. 525 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:38,600 Well, you wait. And so we just say, yes, Lord 526 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,440 Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, yes, way. 527 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,800 Me. I will be your garment. 528 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,000 I will be, I will be yours. And that's that's what happens. 529 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:56,210 Can we give God some praise? Yeah. 530 00:32:56,210 --> 00:32:59,090 OK. Now let's turn to Judges 7. 531 00:33:00,290 --> 00:33:01,490 And yes, we're engaged. Wealth. 532 00:33:01,490 --> 00:33:07,040 Are you ready for wealth? How much can we take today? 533 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,920 How deep can we go? Because this is really where 534 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,280 it's get wild, OK? This is going to get really wild 535 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:20,080 because listen, if I was Gideon, OK, I would sort of expect God 536 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,360 now to write, OK, thanks God, we got this summon and all that. 537 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,080 I would start expecting God now to start building his arm and 538 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,200 start adding some numbers and all that. 539 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,280 God starts doing the opposite. OK. 540 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,800 I'm like, Lord, okay, are we going to build this? 541 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,440 Are we going to go? But it's still God starts 542 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,520 cutting away. Wow, starts cutting away, starts 543 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,240 stripping away, starts removing. Okay, start sending people. 544 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,840 Away. Wow, start sending people away. 545 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,640 Lord, I really need every soldier I really need. 546 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,880 That's why I thank God even in the beginning days when we 547 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,440 started this church, when I preached to one person, I 548 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,400 preached my heart on, when I preached to 5 to 100, when I 549 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,920 preached to in South Africa, I was at the Pretoria school. 550 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,720 I was understand there was hundreds of people criticized. 551 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,639 We I preached the heart. I preached with everything I've 552 00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:13,400 got. Because I know God knows what 553 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,320 he's doing. And God says here and judge the 554 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,560 seven, he says, now announce to your army, the army. 555 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,760 Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount 556 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,080 Gilad, Right. OK. 557 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,760 And 22,000 people walked away that day. 558 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,320 Wow. Why? 559 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,080 Because of fear. OK, They're going to go in the 560 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,480 army. They're going to face an enemy 561 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,880 here, right? The problem with fear. 562 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,960 OK, it neutralized the power of God. 563 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,480 OK, so same packing Gohan 22,000 bit because it was a taste of 564 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,440 courage and they're going through these tests. 565 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,360 Now remember here comes the second test, Gideon Oscar for 566 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,000 Tuesdays and God says right, I'm going to tap with you through 567 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,760 Tuesdays. Now second test, take them to 568 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,480 the water and watch how they drink. 569 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,400 Watch how they drank the water. OK, because this taste now 570 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,400 Gideon took them through and now some knelt down and they put 571 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,600 their face in the water with no awareness. 572 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,280 So they dragged water. So they put their face in the 573 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,680 water with no awareness. That's the problem. 574 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,040 No awareness. OK, without awareness they 575 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,760 missed it. But then. 576 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,600 There's a group. They scooped the water. 577 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:39,920 They went, scooped the water to their mouth, eyes lit up, eyes 578 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:46,000 up there, eyes lifted up, alert, ready for they watching their 579 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,160 surroundings for any surprise attack. 580 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,800 And God says face your people because it's the taste of 581 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,960 readiness. God spoke to me. 582 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,120 He said the church needs to get ready. 583 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,400 This is the taste of readiness. Get ready. 584 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,920 It says here Judges 77 and the Lord said to Gideon, you have. 585 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,600 Too many men, I cannot deliver median into their hands or 586 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,120 Israel would boast against me and Israel would say, listen, 587 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,920 this is my own strength that has saved me. 588 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,040 And that's a very dangerous boasting when people say it's my 589 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,880 talent, my gifting. My dad got the victory and got 590 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,680 the breakthrough. Listen Church, I just want to 591 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,160 tell you that God is the only one that will get the glory to 592 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,080 God be the glory. Listen the 300 so there's 300 593 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:41,040 leftover. OK, so this is I want to go 1 594 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:52,960 back. So 300 it says 77300 men that 595 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,680 will save you and give them many lights into your hands. 596 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,000 Let all the others go home. That's Judges 7, seven. 597 00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:06,040 So the 300, that's a prophetic picture of a time church that 598 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,600 God is raising up. A church that's alert, a church 599 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,680 that's ready, a church that's staying alert. 600 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,760 Eyes open, wide awake, weapons ready for what's coming. 601 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,520 OK, for the assignment. They stay alert. 602 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:24,640 This is not time for little casual Christianity, okay? 603 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,400 Like just like church on a Sunday. 604 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,080 This is not a time for just Luke warmers, okay. 605 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:34,320 This is a time for the church to be alive, to be on fire, a blaze 606 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,680 fervid, ready, okay, to be vigilance, a time to be ready. 607 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,480 So get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready. 608 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,920 Come on. Get ready, get ready. 609 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,040 Get ready, Get ready, Get ready. Come on, toast. 610 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,760 Get ready. I'm speaking that over your 611 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,560 line. I say get ready, Get ready, Get 612 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,000 ready. The mighty warriors. 613 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:49,800 Get ready. Come on. 614 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,920 Tell your neighbor. Get ready. 615 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:51,600 Go. Come on. 616 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,080 Get ready. Get ready, Get ready, Get ready. 617 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,400 Get ready. Get ready. 618 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,760 Get ready. Get ready. 619 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,240 Get ready. Get ready. 620 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,800 Get ready. Somebody get ready. 621 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,040 Shake your neighbors. I get ready. 622 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,360 Come on. Give them a start to say. 623 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,600 Let's say you got to be ready. We got ready. 624 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,080 Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready. 625 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,480 Come on, somebody shout. Get ready. 626 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,480 Come on, shut it again. Get ready. 627 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,760 Lovely. And so the time when the dust 628 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,840 settled, Gideon's army has literally gone from 32,000 to 629 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:31,720 300. OK, Can you imagine Gideon, 630 00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:35,200 right? We had like 32,000 and now we 631 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,120 got like 300. And you know, we up against the 632 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:46,600 million eyes, my God, the million eyes, 135 a 135,000 633 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:51,360 enemies and we are 300. OK, if you do your maths, that 634 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,200 is 450 to 1:00. AM I right? 635 00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:01,080 The ratio 450 to one with the yen, We're going to calculate 636 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,160 the right, OK. But listen, humanly speaking, 637 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,720 that's a suicide mission. OK, this o'clock is complete 638 00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:11,000 suicide. Listen, you've got 400, so 639 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,200 132,000 so. But spiritually speaking, that's 640 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,600 a setup for God's glory. Yeah. 641 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,440 Because when the odds are stacked that high, OK, there's 642 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,600 no mistaking who gets the credit, OK, OK. 643 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,480 Yeah, yeah, there's no mistake. Listen, it's it's not going to 644 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,320 be, it's going to be God that will get the glory. 645 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,400 OK, Glory to God. Somebody shout glory to God. 646 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,920 Yeah. OK, Now it said there that. 647 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,200 My aunt straight has saved me. So listen, sometimes God will 648 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,800 reduce your numbers, your opportunities, your options, so 649 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,200 that when the victory comes, when the breakthrough comes, 650 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,120 there's no question, there is no undeniable that it. 651 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,280 Was him. This can only be God. 652 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,160 This can only be God. It was God. 653 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,560 It's pure God. It's not me. 654 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,400 It's not my talent. It's not my goodness. 655 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,720 It's not the It's God. It's the grace of God. 656 00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:06,880 It's His. Somebody showed glory to God, 657 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,440 glory to come on, come on, glory, glory, glory to God. 658 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:17,120 Oh, glory to God. It's not me, it's not getting, 659 00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:21,480 it's it's God. God will get the job done. 660 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,120 I've read the last chapter of the Bible. 661 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:32,000 We went and it's God's doing. God's got this over. 662 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,080 Pastor will look at the chaos, chaos in the world wars, rumors 663 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,720 of God's got this. God's the creator. 664 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,200 God is in control. He's large and in charge. 665 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,040 He knows exactly. What he's doing, he's the 666 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,400 highest creator of entire universe. 667 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,240 Nothing is so difficult for our Gulf. 668 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:54,800 And so Gideon, he was still struggling, but I love our God 669 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,080 how he helps Gideon. He had compassion on Gideon 670 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,360 because this is the first stop. Gideon has never LED an army 671 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,920 before, OK? And so God says, OK, get in. 672 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:11,280 This will help you. Go down to the enemy's camp and 673 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,120 hear what what your enemy is saying. 674 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,640 You're what the enemy is saying. So take your servant and go 675 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,320 down. And yet Gideon goes to the 676 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,560 servant. Slip down and the cover of 677 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,560 darkness creep close enough to over here, a conversation over 678 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,440 here, conversation in the enemy's camp. 679 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,160 OK, and so there's one Midianite, He's telling his 680 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:40,520 friend how God had given Midian, the Midianite and the whole camp 681 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:47,280 over into giddy attacks. And so isn't that amazing, 682 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:53,120 Church, that the enemy already knew they were defeated? 683 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,520 Come on, Isn't that amazing? The enemy already knew they were 684 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,760 defeated. The enemy already knew they were 685 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:08,360 defeated even before even one sword was lifted. 686 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:14,800 Even before the Battle War. You're getting this. 687 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,520 OK. What the enemy knows is Tommy 688 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,080 Short. He knows. 689 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,480 He's defeated. He knows. 690 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,360 But now, yes. The The thing is that the devil 691 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,320 knows sometimes. He knows more about your 692 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,560 potential, your calling, than you know. 693 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:42,720 That's why he works so hard to keep you locked in fear, OK? 694 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:48,080 Because if you ever believe what God says about you, if you ever 695 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:54,160 believe and realize and know that you are a mighty warrior, 696 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,080 you will be unstoppable. Come on, somebody give God some 697 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,240 prize. Hallelujah. 698 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,720 If you ever see yourself, you truly see yourself as a mighty 699 00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,520 warrior, you will be unstoppable. 700 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,840 And so here's Gideon. He's struggling with insecurity, 701 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,480 wondering, can I really do this? And he's struggling. 702 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,680 But at the same time the enemy's struggling, the enemy's 703 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:30,720 dreaming, the enemy's whispering, you know if Gideon 704 00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:35,480 shows up, we finished. And the enemy isn't panicked, 705 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,320 trembling, fear. Let me tell you, the forces of 706 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,960 darkness, they know about you. They know. 707 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,400 They know your name. They know you call it. 708 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,640 They know you're calling the forces of darkness. 709 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,840 They know you. They know your name. 710 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,400 And they panic, they trembling. They know. 711 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,440 They have seen how your prayers shake the heavens. 712 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,480 They've seen it. They know your name. 713 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,560 They know they see it. They have seen no worship. 714 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,040 The forces of darkness. The devil's a demon. 715 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,200 They have seen your worship. They have seen your. 716 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,960 Praise and your worship are shifter room. 717 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,000 They know you by now. They know they they trembling. 718 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,840 They fear because they have seen. 719 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,360 Like your obedience opens the windows of heaven. 720 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,920 They've seen this. The enemy is trembling. 721 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,680 The enemy's panic is afraid of you. 722 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:23,040 They've seen OK. And so the enemy already knows. 723 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,640 The devil knows it's over. He knows it's over. 724 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,720 He knows it's a fear. The cross sealed the victory. 725 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,520 You are not fighting for victory. 726 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,560 You are fighting for victory. The devil vows is over. 727 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,840 The church. Once the church, once the church 728 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:45,200 wins, we win. It's all throughout the Bible. 729 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:50,200 Somebody shout Hallelujah. Yeah, we are winners more than 730 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,000 conquerors. The devil is defeated. 731 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,160 He's a defeated foe. He's scared. 732 00:44:55,160 --> 00:45:01,080 He's in panic, running away. We are not in reaction. 733 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,400 We are. In fact, we are coming devil run 734 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,280 run devil we chasing the devil wait to kill this and get her 735 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,120 because when we show our peace gone. 736 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,760 Oh you don't understand people the authority and anointing that 737 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,040 you courage. You are stronger than you think 738 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,520 you are stronger than you think mighty warriors. 739 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,600 Now what's this in verse 15 it says when Gideon heard the dream 740 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,160 and its interpreter, he. Bowed down and worship. 741 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:30,400 Somebody say worship went back. It's like worship, worship 742 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,240 created to worship. That was his battle cry. 743 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,000 The praise and worship was his battle cry. 744 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,920 And so now Gideon's faith is alive, his courage, his his 745 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:49,240 faith is stirred up full of courage and he's 300 ready for 746 00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:53,640 the battle. But then God's strategy doesn't 747 00:45:53,640 --> 00:46:02,120 make any sense. It says here this 16 dividing 748 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,440 the 300 men in three companies. He plays trumpets and empty jars 749 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,640 in the hands of all the men with torches inside. 750 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:15,680 OK, let's be honest, if you are facing 135,000 soldiers, OK, You 751 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,840 want Spears, You want swords, You want OK? 752 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:25,600 No kidding torches. Sorry, but. 753 00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:30,200 I'm just so close. Think of the heart. 754 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,120 God's just like, OK, that's tortures. 755 00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:38,240 So there, there's a trumpet, there's a jar of torture. 756 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,520 Imagine this tree out. I was like, where's the swords? 757 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:42,800 Where's the Spears? Where's the Spears? 758 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,280 Listen, the king, you've got victory in God's Kingdom. 759 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:49,920 It doesn't come with natural weapons. 760 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,800 It comes from obedience to the voice of God. 761 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,120 You're in. Yeah, God's chose a strategy and 762 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,880 that would make it impossible for anyone else to get the glory 763 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,080 but him. Amen. 764 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,240 Glory to God. Somebody shout. 765 00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:08,520 Glory to God. Glory to God. 766 00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:10,520 Glory to God. God, God. 767 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,160 This isn't amazing. Strips him right down. 768 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:15,440 Cut it away. Trumpet now. 769 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,280 OK, Trumpet, Maybe just explain to you the. 770 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,760 The spiritual principle, Yeah, because the trumpet is a picture 771 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,840 of your praise, OK. And so the torch that speaks of 772 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,880 your testimony and the jaws, that's our lives that we carry 773 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,040 the treasure of Christ, the jaws of clay. 774 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,720 But the jaws of clay, remember, it needs to be broken if you 775 00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:38,720 read the story for the light, the torch to shine, OK. 776 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,440 And so brokenness is very, very powerful, especially brokenness 777 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,320 in the hands of God for God's glory, where our jaws of clay 778 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,480 broken in God's hands. That is a powerful spiritual 779 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,160 weapon against darkness. OK. 780 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,840 And so this is how I fight my battles. 781 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,080 This is how I fight my battle. Battles. 782 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,000 Yeah. Because listen for the spirit of 783 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000 heaviness put on the government of praise. 784 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,080 This is how I fight my battle. So sometimes God will ask you to 785 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,440 fight in a way that doesn't make sense. 786 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:17,120 Singing in the middle of a store, OK Giving when the 787 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:23,120 resources are low, forgiving when he seems unfair, OK. 788 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,800 But so it's our obedience that is the key to supernatural 789 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:32,840 breakthrough in our lives. And so at midnight years, Gideon 790 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,320 with his 300 army. And so they blew the trumpets. 791 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,800 And so they smashed the jars and lifted up the torches. 792 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,920 They gave the sound of a thunderous battle cry. 793 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:49,760 And so the midnight camp just goes into chaos, erupted in 794 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,800 chaos and confusion everywhere, and they turn on each other. 795 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,800 And so they Gideon's got the victory. 796 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,280 Somebody shall Hallelujah. This is how I fight our battle. 797 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,320 Come on, This is how we fight our battles. 798 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,760 This is how I fight my.

I go for walks and I praise and 807 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,560 I look at all the dog walkers and they're like, wow, that 808 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,880 guy's happy. I'm just praising my loud Yeah, 809 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,200 at the lake, at the bar where everyone's fishing. 810 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:53,400 Praise Jesus, My God, you just confuse the enemy. 811 00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:58,000 The Father will come when the church learns to raise a sound 812 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,080 of praise. That is a weapon that is 813 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,640 powerful. Yeah. 814 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,520 When you hold up that testimony, the light of your testimony, 815 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,360 when we offer our jaws in brokenness in the hands of God, 816 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,720 when those three comes together, Oh my God, darkness scatters, 817 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,440 confusing the enemy, and the Bible will come. 818 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:24,760 Somebody said Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, revival 819 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,720 over the hill cry revival of Africa, the Bible. 820 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,000 Yes. Glory to God, that's when you 821 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,680 lift up a sound of praise or you scatter every enemy. 822 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,360 And so God is still calling kittens out of hiding, and he's 823 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,840 still taking people who feel small and overlooked to shake 824 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,360 nations. Let me tell you about one more 825 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,680 testimony. In 1966, a 22 year old young 826 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,040 lady, her names Jackie Pullinger, boarded a ship from 827 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,600 England to Hong Kong. She had no mission board, almost 828 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,960 no money, but she had a burning, fiery Commission from the Lord 829 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,920 and just conviction. And so the mission agency, they 830 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,240 told her, listen, you are too young, you are too 831 00:51:09,240 --> 00:51:11,680 inexperienced. But she went anywhere. 832 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,280 And when she arrived, God LED her to no Loon Walled City. 833 00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:18,600 And if you look, there's a movie in a documentary on this walled 834 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:24,040 city in Hong Kong as a city of crime, ruled by gangs, violence 835 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,880 on every corner. And so Jackie, she had no 836 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,640 resources, no strategy, no protection. 837 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,440 But when she started praising and worshipping in the streets, 838 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:38,240 preaching the simple gospel, and God used the spiritual powerful 839 00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:42,600 weapons of praise and worship, and gang leaders surrendered 840 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,360 their lives to Jesus. And soon a whole community, a 841 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,280 former gang leader, started praising and worshipping Jesus 842 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,360 together. Hallelujah is powerful. 843 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:56,080 The city that was once famous for violence now began to hear 844 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,720 the sound of praise. This is how we fight our 845 00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:00,320 battles. Hallelujah. 846 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,240 Just do you see, God took a young woman to push back 847 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,440 darkness in a city that is dangerous. 848 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:14,400 A 22 year old OK ex cat leaders my God, what kind of a God do we 849 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:19,680 serve If you could do that and he took that young lady 22 year 850 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,120 old sender from the UK to Hong Kong. 851 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,440 When you look at that, that wolf city, I reached it. 852 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,360 And So what God did, He frisked the fear out of her heart before 853 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,640 she goes. There's a chance you don't just 854 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,120 do this at home. I just you do it with the 855 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,560 anointing of the Holy Ghost. When God freshes and removes the 856 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,680 fear. And you guys know when we go to 857 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,400 Africa, these things, you go with the anointing of the Holy 858 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,760 Ghost. We don't play around with fear. 859 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,640 OK, God comes and he fresh the chuff. 860 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,000 He removes the unbelief, He removes the fear, and he sends 861 00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,000 her into that battlefield as a warrior. 862 00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,840 Warriors are brave. Warriors are courageous. 863 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,120 And she wrote a book chasing the dragon. 864 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,360 Oh, my God, Come on. There's a brave warriors. 865 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:14,080 God is raising brave warriors. We're chasing the Dragons. 866 00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:17,840 OK, Hallelujah. And I believe God's looking for 867 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:22,200 jackies, Gideons in this room, those who have been hiding. 868 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,240 God is looking for those who've been hiding, those who've been 869 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,120 whispering. Lord, I am just too small. 870 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,680 I am too weak. I'm just young, I'm 871 00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,840 inexperienced, I'm unqualified. But he's saying the Lord is with 872 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,040 you, mighty warrior. That is in the word of the Lord 873 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,600 today for you. The Lord is with you, mighty 874 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,120 warrior. Somebody shout Hallelujah. 875 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,480 And so if you could do that with a young lady, push that blood 876 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,760 darkness, what could he do with you? 877 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,680 You are stronger. Than you think you are stronger 878 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:59,520 than you think Turn closing. Gideon's story did not end in 879 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:05,160 the wine place. It did not end with him hiding 880 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:10,000 from the enemy. It did not end in him doubting 881 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,040 if God was worth it. It ended in a nation, was set 882 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:15,760 free. It ended in Levar. 883 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,880 That's how the state is. Yeah, in this. 884 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,760 Because he did. To believe what God said was 885 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,200 more than what fear said. OK, so God didn't bring you here 886 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,040 today to leave you the wine place. 887 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:37,280 He came to call you out to anoint you for battle, to send 888 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:41,160 you as the warrior you were mourned to be. 889 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,320 Amen. Let's all stand together. 890 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,280 Let's give God some praise in this place. 891 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,680 Let's stand to your feet. And so I'm here to tell you the 892 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:53,120 wine press season is over. You're stepping into your 893 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,400 Warrior season. It's time to rise, mighty 894 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:57,640 warrior. Take your place. 895 00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,880 Come on now. Yes, maybe you're here today and 896 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,400 you have been hiding and you've been hiding in the wine press, 897 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,960 pressed down by fear or doubt or the whites of life. 898 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,480 But today the Angel of the Lord is here, and he's calling. 899 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,520 You now maybe you've been praying for family and yes, 900 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,680 that's good or the workplace or city, but God says the answer 901 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,720 begins with yes.
