11Then the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah,
which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save it from the Midianites.
12And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior.”
13Then Gideon said to him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.”
14And the LORD looked at him and said, “Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?”
15And he [Gideon] said to Him, “O Lord, how shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.” 16But the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man.”
I HAVE TO DOUBT MY ENEMY, OR I WILL DOUBT MY GOD!
DENYING DOUBT MEANS ADMITTING I AM WRONG ABOUT ME.
DOUBT IS A DANGEROUS ENEMY BECAUSE DOUBT IS FEAR!
DOUBT IN MY HEART WITHHOLDS GOD’S VICTORY FROM MY HANDS.
DETECTING AND DEFEATING THE ENEMY OF DOUBT:
Judges 6:25,26
FAMILY IDOL DOUBT: “Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it 26and build an altar to the LORD your God”
PRIDEFUL DOUBT: “The people who are with you are too many... lest Israel become boastful, saying, ‘My own power has delivered me.’ Judges 7:2
FEARFUL DOUBT: “Now therefore come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained. Judges 7:3
NEGLECTFUL DOUBT: “Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water. 7And the LORD said to Gideon, “I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; Judges 7:6-7

20When the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers, they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing, and cried, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!” 21And each stood in his place around the camp; and all the army ran, crying out as they fled. 22And when they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; Judges 7:20-22
FAITHING IT:
GIDEON DIDN’T DO IT - HE FAITHED IT.
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT, DO WHAT GIDEON DID.
DON’T DO IT - FAITH IT! Related Topics: RiverTown | More Messages from David Rathel | Download AudioShare a Link to this Message
