Do you have a word?

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to share with you some thoughts i have experienced in the reading of God's word . I find myself like Gideon in the bible  in the book of Judges ,when in the midst of trouble. We oft times forget that  God is able and faithful. See , Israel is the type of mindset for us as a people , who often stray and become hardheaded with God. This is when God has to deliver us into the hand of our enemy.We lose sight of who God is and what he has in store for us, so he sends a situation so we can see how far off we never truly were. Gideon is faced with this delimna when in the hands of the midianites the children of Israel cry out to Gideon to speak on their behalf. The Angel of God appears and said to Gideon "The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!" Gideon , just as we do cry out and question why has misfortune fallen upon us? where are the miracles? and, why are we in the hands of our enemies?.Well, the answer is simple , He has never left us ,but, God inhabits praise,and not evil doing or thinking.You see, i do the same thing and expect results ,when i haven't been praising him like i should , or believing i got this far by myself ,when God was there in my storm and in my triumphs. So my word has no validity when i have no word in me from the God who gives power! So like Gideon , I ask how can i overcome in the midst of my enemies when i have no power and it's like God to remind me to say "Surely I will be with you!" See all we have to do is show up with a word from an Inspired God and things will become to be more clearer. that's the miracle we were looking for! just a simple praise or prayer. The Lord instructs Gideon (us) to go and get some meat & bread and go to the tree i commanded you to go. See God has the victory already and tells you to prepare the feast! the bread is the word of God the meat is the sacrifice for the victory that is already manifested but we have yet to see because we don't see the end result, but, God has it done! Hallelujah! I dare you to go through something and go prepare a communion and watch what God does! Gideon still had some doubt and we have them too, so we go further in our questioning and ask for more signs, God Say's to take more meat,and reluctantly we do it ,like Gideon but in our  way, Gideon did it at night because he feared his fathers men in the day. Just like us, we hear and question , but through the obedience our fear becomes faith and we look at that enemy and say let your god prove this!  I can be like that often , with a half heart trust God because i can't see the end result, and ask again for god to show me the thing he has for me. God please allow the dew to appear on my situation so i know you are there! God delivers and then he tells you take one third of your faith and show up! like he told Gideon to take three hundred men and show up! not all your men ,just the faithful! Then take your trumpet (praise) take your empty pitchers with a torch inside(the light of truth) and shout " The Sword of the Lord of Gideon" And they seized every watering place of the Midianites.See,but in between that victory ,God sent a vision to their enemies and allowed Gideon to hear their fear. God has a way of defeating your enemies not during,not in the midst, but before you show up! Amen! This is what is to come when we come to the place of resting God's bosom and his word. When we walk in him and let the spirit guide you all the way into his truth. Is there anything to hard for the Lord! Do you have a word? read Judges 6 thru 8th chapter and find your strentgh in God's word.I thank my pastor the ever faithful Victor Hudson of Rehoboth Kingdom Ministries where we believe in restoring families and healing generations. May he and first lady have a joyous anniversary in the sight of God and many more to come. Shalom
