Gideon 6

Judges 6:12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior."

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Judges 6:15 (MSG) 15 Gideon said to him, "Me, my master Judges 6:15 (MSG) 15  Gideon said to him, "Me, my master? How and with what could I ever save Israel? Look at me. My clan's the weakest in Manasseh and I'm the runt of the litter."

Judges 6:16 (NLT) 16 The LORD said to him, “I will be with you Judges 6:16 (NLT) 16  The LORD said to him, “I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man.”

I will be with you always, even to the end of the age. Matt. 28:20 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. Jn. 14:16 I will never leave you, nor forsake you, Heb. 13:5

“The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’” Judges 7:2

Where do we start?

We start by admitting our weakness Strengths Weaknesses

God is inclined to work through our own acknowledged weaknesses..

Most often our strengths are found in the things we enjoy doing..

“Mighty Warrior” Strength Weakness

First Step to being powerful & effective in the LORD. ADMIT

Second Step to being powerful & effective in the LORD. BELIEVE

Third Step to being powerful & effective in the LORD. CONFESS CONFESS YOUR FAULTS ONE TO ANOTHER - James 5:16 A-B-C ? That’s It!

weaknesses as an excuse That doesn’t mean God will let you use your weaknesses as an excuse for not doing what He’s asking you to do..

JOHN 13:4

What I have learned in life…

God is strongest when I am weakest.

God’s light is brightest when my light is dimmest.

God’s light exposes all the darkness in my life.

I accomplished more when God’s purpose is accomplished in me.
