Israel was hiding in fear, oppressed by the Midianites, when God called Gideon—an ordinary man threshing wheat in secret. Gideon doubted himself, asking, “How can I save Israel? I am the least.” But God answered, “I will be with you.” Through signs and patience, God turned Gideon’s weakness into strength.

Centuries later, Peter reminded believers that this same divine power gives us everything we need for life and godliness. He urged us to grow in faith, adding goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, affection, and love.

Together these passages declare: God calls the weak, equips the ordinary, and transforms doubt into bold faith so we can live fruitful lives and fulfill His purpose.

We're gonna read Judges chapter six, and also our second
Peter chapter one.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're gonna read, We're gonna pray, go read to Jesus.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
And the Scuto says, and the turner of Israel did
evolve and read from this one.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
And the turner of Israel did even in the sight
of the Lord. And the Lord delivered them into the
hand of Media.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Seven years, and the hand of Media prevailed against Israel.
And because of the Medianized, the tune of Israel made
them the danes which are in the mountains and caves
and strongholds. And it was so when Israel had sown,

(00:47):
that the Midianized came up, and the Amalakais and the
Turner of the East, even they came up against them,
and they encoumped against them and destroyed the increase of
their acts, till thou come onto Gaza.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And left know substance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ars,
nor us.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
For there came up with their cattle and their tents,
and they came to grasshopper from altitude, for both they
and their camels were without number, and they entered into
the land to destroy it. Israel was greatly impublished because
of the Millianized, and the children of Israel cried onto

(01:46):
the Lord. He came to pass when the children of
Israel cried onto the Lord because of millionized that the
Lord sent the prophet onto the children of Israel, which
said onto them, for say, the Lord, God of Israel,
I brought you up from Egypt, and brought your foot

(02:06):
out of the house of bondage. And I delivered you
to the land of Egyptian and out of the hand
of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from
before you, and gave you their land. And I said
to you, I am the Lord of God. Fear not
the gods of the Ammords, in whose loved you dwell.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
But you have not obeyed my voice.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
There came an ender of the Lord and sat on
the oak, which was an opera that patterned unto Josh
and abuse right. His son Gideon thrust wit by the
wine press to hide it from the Midians, and the

(02:56):
Endel of the Lord appeared on to him and said,
unto him, the Lord is with the damn mighte man
of Ballor. I didn't send unto him. Oh my God,
oh my Lord, if the Lord build us, why then
he saw this befollow us, and where be all this

(03:20):
miracle which our father has told us of, saying, did
not the Lord bring us from the Egypt? But now
the Lord had forsaken us, and deliver ourselves into the
hand of the Midian knights. And the Lord looked upon
him and said, go in this that might, and thou
shall save Israel from the hand of the Midian knights.
Have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, Oh,

(03:41):
my Lord, where which shall I save?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Is run old?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
My family is poor in Manssa, and I am the
list in my father's house. And the Lord said unto him,
surely I will be with THEE, and you shall smile
the Midi nights as one man. And he said onto him, now,
if now I have found grace in the side, then

(04:08):
show me a sign and our podcast with me the
part not heads. I pray THEE until I came on today,
and bring forth my present and set it before THEE.
And he said, I will tarry it until that will
come again. And Gideon went in and made already a
kid an eleventh cave of an infur floor. The flesh

(04:32):
he put in a basket, and he put the broth
in a pot and brought it out onto him under
the oak, and presented it at the angel of the Lord.
God said unto him, take the flesh, and they are
living cakes, and lay.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Them up upon this rock, and pour out the broth.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
And he said so, And the enter of the Lord
put forth the end of the staff that was in
the hand, and told the flesh.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
And they are living cakes.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
And there rose of fire out of the rock, and
consume the flesh and their living cake. Then the end
of the Lord departed out of his sight. We didn't
perceive that he was an angel of the Lord. Gideon said,
allahs oh, Lord God, for because I have seen an
angel of the Lord face to face. And the Lord
said unto him, peace be on to thee fear not,

(05:30):
for thou shall not die.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Then Gilliam built an.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Altar there, said onto the Lord, and called in Jehovah
shalom onto this day. It is yet in offer of
our bizarites. And he came to pass. And the same
night that the Lord said onto him, take their father's
young bullock, even to the second bullock of seven years old,

(05:55):
and threw them down the altar of bar that their
father had and cut down the grove that is by it,
and built an all town to the Lord that God
upon the top of this rock in the all that place,
and take the second bullock and offer a bond sacrifice
with the woods of the grove which thou shak cut down.

(06:18):
The Gideon took ten men of his servants, and then,
as the Lord said, up to him. And so it
was because he feared his father's household and the men
of the city that could not do it by day,
that he did it by night. When the men of

(06:38):
the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar
of bar was cast down, and the groove was cut
down that was by it, and the second bulock was
offered upon the altar that was built.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
And they said, one to another who had done this thing?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon, the
son of George, had done this.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Then the men of the city said, onto.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Josh, bring out a song, that he may die, because
he had called down the altar of Bab, and because
I have called down the groove that was by it.
And George said, on all that stood against him, will
you plead for Bao, will you save him? He that
will plead for him. Let him be put to death

(07:32):
whilst it is yet money. If he be a god,
let him plead for himself, because one had cast down
his altar. Therefore, on that day he called him Jerubab, saying,
let Bab plead against him because he had thrown down
his altar. Then all the midia Nites, the Amletais, and

(07:58):
the turner of the East were gathered together and went
over and pitched in the valley of Jezreel. But the
spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew
a trumpet, and abbearsed Our gathered after him, and he
sent messengers throughout all Manassa, who also was gathered after him.
And he sent messengers onto a cherp, and onto Zebulon,

(08:19):
and onto Naftali, and they came up to meet them.
And Giddon said, on too, God, if thou wit saving
roll by my hand, as thou hast said, behold, I
would put a fleace of wool in the floor. And
if the dew be on the fleas only, and even
dry upon all the eay side, then shall I know

(08:40):
that thou wast saving rull by my hand, as thou
has said.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
And it was so, for he rose.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Up early on the morrow and throws the fleas together
and ringled the dew out of the fleece a bowerful
of water, and giddon sell on to God.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Let not the anger be hot.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Against me, And I will speak, but this once, let
me prove I pray thee But this once with the fleece.
Let it not be dry, only upon the fleece, and
upon all the ground, let it be due. And God
did so that night, for it was dry upon the
fleece only, and there.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Was due on all the ground.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Glory to Jesus, Hallelujah, Glory to God. I'm gonna read
it another scripture. Then we will proceed to pray. In

(09:51):
a book of Second Peter, Chapter one, I read from
verse one. But Simon Peter a bond servant and apostle,
special messenger personally choosing representative of Jesus Christ to those

(10:16):
who have received and possessed by God God's will imprecious
fate of the same kind as ours. By the righteousness
of our God and saying of Jesus Christ, grace and peace,
that special sense of spiritual wellbeing be multiplied to you

(10:38):
in the true intimate knowledge of God and of Jesus
our Lord, for his divine power has bestow on us
absolutely everything necessary for a dynamic spiritual life and godliness
through through and personal knowledge of Him who call us

(11:00):
by his own glory and excellence. For by this he
has based OneD on all his precious and magnificent promises
of inexpressible value, so that by then you may escape
from the immoral freedom that is in the world because
of disrepeatable desire and become shares of di by nature.

(11:24):
For this very reason, apply your diligence to the divine promise.
Make every effort in exercising your faith to develop moral excellence,
and in moral excellence, knowledge, insight, understanding, and in your
knowledge self control and your self control steadfastness and in

(11:47):
your stepfastness godliness, and in your godness broaderly affection, and
in broaderly affection, develop Cristian love that is learned to
all selfishly sit the best for others and to do
things for their benefits. For us, this quality are yours

(12:10):
and are increasing in you as you grow towards spiritual maturity.
They will keep you from being useless and unproductive in
regard to the true knowledge and greater.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
For whosoever lacks qualities is blind, like these qualities is blind, shortsighted,
closing his spiritual eyes to the truth, having become oblivious
to the fact that he was cleansed from his old things. Therefore,

(12:50):
believers be all the more diligent to make certain about
his calling.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
And choosing.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
You be sure that your behavior reflects and confirms your
relationship with God. For by doing these things, actively developing
these vegues, you will never stumble in your spiritual growth,
and you will live a lie that leads others.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Away from sain.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
For in this way, entry to the entire kingdom of
our long as civil Jesus Christ, will be abundantly provided
to you. Therefore, I will always be ready to remind
you of these things, even though you are already known
them and are establishing the truth which is held family
in your grasp. I think it's right, as long as

(13:46):
I am in this edit tent, to inspire you by
reminding you. Doing that, laying aside of this ele tent
of mine, this imminent as allow Jesus Christ, has made
me clear.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Moreover, I wur diligently devil, to.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
See to it that even after my departure, you will
be able at times to call these things to mind.
For we did not follow clevaled divice stories of mites,
and we made known to you the power and the
coming of our logist as Christ. But we have eyewitnesses
of his majesty, his grand duur, his authority, his sovereignty.

(14:23):
For when he was invested with honor and the radiance
of shaking our glory from God and Father, such a
voice as came to him from this splendid majesty, glory
and the bright cloud that overshadowed him, saying this is
my son, my beloved son, in whom I aware, pleased
and delighted. And we actually had his voice made heaven

(14:46):
from heaven when we were together with him in the
early mountains. So we have the prophetic world made more setting.
You do well to pay close attention to it, as
to lamp shining in the darkness, until day dawn and
light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises
in your heart. But understand this first of all, No

(15:08):
professor of the scripture is a matter of comes from
one's own person or spatial interpretation. For no prophecy was
ever made by an act of human will. But men
moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God, Hallelujah.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Glory to Jesus. Let's say be the name of our Lord.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
I will say a few things that we will go
on to pray.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I want you.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
The story started with Gideon, who was very small. He said,
I came from the list of my family. I came
from the list of the country. I don't have anybody,
and I am poor. But the Lord decided to choose
him to be the mighty man of Valor, decided to

(15:58):
use him to a country.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
He said, listen, I'm sending.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
You because my people have been in bonded for seven years.
After the loss saved them, they went back to sin.
Sin is always a reproach. Any time you begin to
go off the greed, then you will see a reproach.

(16:25):
Every reproach is as a result of sin. Every time
righteousness is available when you begin to leave righteously, I'm.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Not talking about you know.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
You got to understand that there is a difference between
the presence of God and the power of God. The
presence of God changes you, It changes your person. It
makes you want to be with Christ. It makes you

(17:07):
want to live goodly, want to live right Chelsea, want
to live godly. It changes you. It changes you. He
changes It makes you. It makes you want to live godly.

(17:27):
You pursue God. You stay in God. The presence of
God is for you. Glory to God.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
And that is what happened. When Gideon was mad, God
began to tell him.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Who he is first of all. In his own eyes,
he thought it was poor. He thought he has nobody.
He thought he has nothing to offer. But he was
concerned about funtaing and farming. And some people are readily,

(18:08):
very ready to destroy it. As soon as that plant
is growing, they will go there and make sure that
they destroyed. They destroy the farm, They destroy everything they
took over. They will bring their own animal to eat
their food, the food that they're supposed to.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
They will go to the villages. Then will go to
their country.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Side and make sure that they destroy every of their
food farm.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
And this was giving gid On a concern.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
And God visited him and said, mighty man of valor.
When I created your made you mighty, but he didn't
know about it. When I created your med you a leader,
he didn't know about it. That's why you are having
that concern. But now you are ready to do something.

(19:03):
You cannot be concerned out of nothing. God gave you
that inspiration. Ont God's presence meets Gideon, and he began
to obey God's voice and began to seek his power.
That is when he's able to say his nation. First

(19:26):
of all the presence of God. And we move to
second Peter chapter one, and we began to see what
we need to do. Glory to God. What we need
to do so that we will stay in His presence.

(19:50):
What we need to do, He said, Peter, these report
came from Peter, which we believe and know that he
is or he was with Christ. He was not reporting
from anyone. He was reporting what he saw and what
he witnessed. He said, listen, a may bond, savant, bonder,

(20:16):
savant and apostle. What does it mean special messenger personally
choosing representative of Jesus Christ to those who have received
and possessed God's will a precious faith of the same

(20:39):
kind of hours by the righteousness of God is Savior
Jesus Christ. He said, grace and peace, that special sense
of spiritual well being be multiplied in you.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
That's what we're gonna pray for. Special sense.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
When you stay in God's pray sense, it gives you
special sense. You know there are common sense, common that
common sense that everybody needs to possess. Common sense. Yes,
that even sixteen percent of the people living in the
world has no common sense. We're talking about common glowy

(21:23):
to God. But when you come into the presence of God,
it gives you special sense. Special glow it to God.
Special sense. Special sense is what the Lord will tell

(21:43):
you to do. Like this special sense what it gets
give you. He gets gid you on this special sense
to tell him what to do in order to save
the country. It's a first of all, destroy the alter
of bay and the special sense that he again, Gideon

(22:06):
made him to go in the night. You didn't say yes,
God said, destroyed, and he going the afternoon because there
will be a fight. People that directed that altar was
gonna fight Gidion. But Gideon went in the night with
his friends and men, destroyed about and directed one before

(22:30):
the money comes.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
And they wonder when did they do that? What happened?
Who did it? Before they found out who did it?
Got it a been?

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I want you to understand special sense. Special sense will
make you go to your enemy. Glory to God. You know,
a man of God was telling a story. He said,
I bought that to fight acres of land. And the
man decided to be my truggle and said, I'm not

(23:02):
gonna allow that land to go. And it happened that
the sad man was a lawyer, was a barrister where
he learned to pray. God said, go and hire the
same man to be a lawyer, the same man that
issue you to God. He said, go to him, I
hire him. He said what he said, that's exactly what
you need to do. Go to Jesus special sense. And

(23:25):
this man went to the same just as God told him.
He said, listen, I come to hire you. Ask my lawyer.
And the lawyer said, what I'm sueing you. I'm taking
you to jail. Are you're going to hire him? He
said yes. The lord said, Hi, are you so? How
much is the prime? He said, I'll make sure you
go to jail and say yes. Just tell me your

(23:47):
price and I will pay you. He said, well, when
he heard about the money, he said, just tell me
how much money gonna charge? He said, I'm going to
charge your double of the land you part your bought.
That's what I want. The man said, okay, that's all.
He gave him the double money, and the man was
so glad. He took the money on his way going

(24:11):
on Androvers Cotting and said, so reader the money.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
He said, what do you know the man that gave
me this money?

Speaker 1 (24:19):
He mentioned his name, either said to him we know him,
or you stole from the man. He said, no, what
if you don't want to die, go back and give
him the money and bring receipts. So in directly, God
returned the money again to the man. He said, that's
the only way we can say. If you don't get

(24:41):
the received so so time we're coming back for you again.
I want you to know special says will make you.
God will make you do what common says will not
allow you to do. Common sense did not will not
allow you to go and hire somebody that is taking
you to court, I said, lawyer. But God did it,

(25:02):
and see the drama. Glory to God. Special sense will
come out from the presence of God. I'm not gonna
keep it to Lord, but I'm gonna pray. I want
you to pray for special sense. Special sense that only
for your spiritual well being. He said, let him mutipply

(25:22):
to you in the true intimate knowledge of God and
of Jesus Christ, our Lord, for his divine power has
been stored on us absolutely everything necessary for a dynamic
spiritual life.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
We're gonna pray for a dynamic spiritual life. Glory to God.
It is only.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Dynamic spiritual life that will allow you to set your
family free.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Glory to God.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Dynamic spiritual life will allow you to see people. People
will want to change their life when they see you.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yes, what am I saying?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
God's power is different from God's presence. You can be
manifest in God's power, but you don't have the presence
of God. It takes it doesn't take anything. It doesn't
take anything to call down God's power because it's not
for you. It's for the people. God will come and

(26:26):
do things for His people, for the group, and then
we'll be okay. But the presence of God is for you,
that is what. In fact, it is the presence of
God that will take you to Heaven. The power of
God doesn't take you anywhere. The power of God can demonstrates,

(26:52):
in fact, bring miracle, just like you did for Israel.
Look at what they do. Every time God's power comes,
it will save them, and they will still go back
to sin because they don't know the way of God,
they don't know the presence of God. They will go
back and after several years, after many torments, God will

(27:14):
show up again. But they don't want his presence, They
want his power. And that is what is killing the people,
destroying the people, damaging families because they know God's power,
but they don't want his presence, the presence of God.

(27:36):
So we're gonna pray that this presence of God we
begin to give us special sense in the name of
Jesus Christ, give us special sense and multiplied our dynamicspiritual

(27:56):
life and godliness, true and personal knowledge of Him who
called us by his own glory and excellence. Look at
what God called us. He called us by his own
glory and excellence. I wish you understand what I'm saying
this morning, so that you will struggle.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
You will begin to ask God for special sense.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Special sense will make you pass that exam, will make
you get that license, will make you get what ordinarily
you will not get.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Special sense.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
God will tell you exactly what to do where to stand,
who to greet, who to talk to, who to shake
hands with? Glory to God. He will tell you how
to do it so that you'll get able to go
and succeed in the presence of God. Yes, Glory to Jesus.

(28:57):
I want to ask to pray open your this morning.
Begin to ask God for special sense. Say Lord, give
