Hall Of Faith: Gideon

Those prepared to give their lives in freedom’s cause, come over to me. - Colonel William Travis

The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." Judges 6:11-12


The Lord turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?" "But Lord,” Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family." Judges 6:14-15

The Lord answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together." Judges 6:16

So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the men of the town, he did it at night rather than in the daytime. Judges 6:27

If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself. Judges 6:31

So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, "Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel down to drink." Three hundred men lapped with their hands to their mouths. All the rest got down on their knees to drink. Judges 7:5-6

Gideon gave these 300 men their weapons: 
A horn to blow
A jar to break
A torch to shine
A voice to shout

Let me let you in on a little secret. 
Your life belongs to the Lord.

Your dreams belong to the Lord.
Your hopes belong to the Lord.
Your future belongs to the Lord.
