The Sword of the Lord and Gideon!

Wow! How was God able to move him from a postion of intimidation to great strength? The book of Hebrews said in chapter 11: 33,34

 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.³⁴ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. I tell you faith in God can take you from the pit, to the palace. It can take you from being at the bottom of the barrel to owning your own franchise barrel company! Get in on the faith of God, and join the super hero”s of faith!

If you keep God’s Word before your eyes:

Your bound to see yourself well.

Your  bound to see yourself strong.

Your bound to see your children saved.

Your bound to see  yourself financially on top.

Your bound to see yourself sure, that what God promised, he is able also to perform.

Proverbs 4:20-23

²⁰ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

²¹ Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

²² For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

 

It’s Not an impossible thing for God to use you to bring about a change in the nations. He’s ready to move in. Exalt his name. Let him use you! Let God expand your vision.

Numbers 14:8-10

…8 if the LORD is pleased with us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!” 10 But the entire congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.…

 

If You Can Obtain It By Natural Means, it’s Not Faith.

( Let me say it this way, if you can do it on your own it is not the faith of God, it’s hard work). But Faith Call things that be not as thou they were. Faith, at the call of God steps out on the water, and keeps its focus upon the Lord, and gets what never could have been accomplished unless it took those steps. As Long as Your here in the earth, you need to be developing Your Faith. Reread Hebrews 11 and understand that faith is a step above what we walked in yesterday.

Faith calls a barren wound to produce children. Faith causes an axe head to swim so that it can be returned to its owner. Faith causes a seed sown to multiply in so much that two fish and five loaves a bread, feed  5 thousand plus. Faith extends a withered hand and it becomes well as the other one. Faith caused the son to stand still. Faith open away in the sea and delivered and entire nation from slavery

 

 

Hebrews 11:1-3

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

As Faith Grows, Satan Looses his grip and fear is departs. You can also say, as the Word grows;( God’s Word), the words of thee enemy become faint and barley perceptible to our senses. When your advancing  the Word, Your advancing the Kingdom Of God. 

Mark 4:31

31 it is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth. 32 But after it is planted, it grows to be larger than all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”

 

Would you realize your highest call?

Remain obedient to the faith before one and all. Whether Jew or Greek, or with bond or free, oh yes Male or female both being redeemed, if  your willing to be obedient to the faith, you’ll receive from God promotion, and rogconition, and men and women will receive your admonition.

Romans 1:5,6

5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

Wearing Faith and Love as a breastplate will enhance the light that shines from you.

You will be well equipped to walk in victory  through your absolute trust in him,  and motivated by none other than his Love. Now, as you wear the helmet of hope, you will not be disappointed ( for Hope makes not ashamed Rom. 5:5), and the day of the Lord will not over take you by surprise.

1 Thessalonians 5:7-9

 

The Day of the Lord
…7 For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation. 9 For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.…

Do you desire to raise your level of excellence?

Your associations, not just with friends or relatives,  but what you watch on TV, what your listening to on the radio, or read in the news paper impact your character tremendously. You will grow immensely if you filter what you watch and what you listen to.

1 Cor.15:33
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” ( NIV translation)

 

Hanging around with those who live a life of faith, can cause you to begin to move in the same vein.

We celebrate Abraham’s servant who was given the charge to get a wife for Abrahams son Isaac. Let’s pick up the narrative.

Genesis 24:2-5,26,27

2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3 And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5 And nd the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

His faith in God shone through.

26 And  the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord.

²⁷  And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.

Let’s step into the twentieth Century

In Our generation. There was Kenneth E Hagin. He was born with a blood disease and an incurable heart condition. He was not supposed to live past his 16th birthday. He became bedfast and things seem to be going exactly as the doctor had sad. But he gave his heart to the Lord during that time and he began reading the scripture. He got to place  in Mark 11:24 which says,”what Things so ever he desire, when ye pray, believe that you receive them and ye shall have them.” He said that verse branded itself on his conscience. And he said I desire to be well. ( by the way his testimony is in bookstores all over the world, you can get it from the Rhema book store in Tulsa Ok.) He began to pray and through a series of events, the Spirit Of The Lord was able to teach him how to believe, and how to receive his healing. Being raised from a death bed, he went around the country teaching that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. He taught on healing and many have been healed through his teachings. Thank God I am one of them! It’s just a reminder to his legacy that this site was created in honor of Dad Hagin. I will continue to teach on faith as Long as I am in this earthly temple.❤️❤️
