Dear Precious Heavenly Divine Father; As we each here today in thanking you this morning for our restful sleep during the night. We are looking to You this day in preparing our hearts before in that threshing floor in building up our altar before you in our hearts as we have died to you in leaving self behind at death's door in coming before you in opening up our eyes so that your word infiltrate us in Your power and might that bring down all that is before you and those things have now passed away and in turn asking for our forgivness in all things we hath done rather we remember those things that's in our lives or they have been forgotton being so far back in one's own minds in asking, knocking, in You opening Your door in our forgivness in which we have suffered mightly before you as we hath seen in us today in in those things have been crushed, and destroyed and No longer there.

We do acknowledge the armor of God, as we pray that every thought that satan or any of his co-horts in his Kingdom tries to put in our minds will bounce off the helmet of salvation and return to it's sender. Heal every memory that could hold us back from being All that You would have us be.

We put Jesus Christ's bloodline in between each one of us as a whole group of people in which we do declare that Satan your communications are cut-off, and we confuse all of your camps, we render you inactive, and we all cast you out before us and the Lord. In Jesus Christ Mighty Name.For we have come together today in seeing what the Father has to say in the Sword that reaches down to those depths of our souls in seeing only Him inside of us forver until He comes.

In Jesus Christ 'Name we pray. Amen. Being in his presence is so wonderful unto his children that this world has No idea what he's truly about and I just love to love him in my own heart! Shall we begin our study for today? I'm excited about it in seeing what God has to share with us in our hearts. Open up our bibles and let's read the scriptures together as we see them on our pages as well as it's before us on the screen.

1And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

2And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.

3And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

4And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.

5For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

6And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

7And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,

8That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

9And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;

10And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

11And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

12And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

13And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

14And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

15And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

16And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

17And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.

18Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.

19And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.

20And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

21Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

22And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.

23And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

24Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

25And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:

26And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.

27Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

28And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.

29And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.

30Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.

31And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.

32Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

33Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.

34But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

35And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. THE BOTTOM LINE:

Israel oppressed by Midianites.

Israel's sin was renewed, and Israel's troubles were repeated. Let all that sin expect to suffer. The Israelites hid themselves in dens and caves; such was the effect of a guilty conscience. Sin dispirits men. The invaders left no food for Israel, except what was taken into the caves. They prepared that for Baal with which God should have been served, now God justly sends an enemy to take it away in the season thereof. (Jdg 6:7-10)

Israel rebuked by a prophet.

They cried to God for a deliverer, and he sent them a prophet to teach them. When God furnishes a land with faithful ministers, it is a token that he has mercy in store for it. He charges them with rebellion against the Lord; he intends to bring them to repentance. Repentance is real when the sinfulness of sin, as disobedience to God, is chiefly lamented. (Jdg 6:11-24) There are times when chaos reigns in our very lives because other's are Not willing or able to fulfil thier God- given roles. When this happens, we often suffer from the lack of leadership and protection. We feel angry and frustrated in times such as these. Often times enough we are so used to oppression that we have little hope, confidence that things just can't get any better than they are right now. That comes with being weak, and very insignificant, distrust, and as being unfaithful to one covenant people unto one self. that's when we are torn down by continuance pain in that is when we have lost our hope of ever breaking free of ones circumstances, issues that each of us has faced at one time or another in our lives today. And having that feeling we have very act in being aware of hoplessness, but all isn't lost... if we look unto God in our prayers in seeking a new discovery one more time that Our God faithfully delivers us and gained courage and yes have altered from that in so fear back and forth but by coming back to the alter and tearing our lives down again, as God's trumpet blows in refreshing our souls unto Himself in fighting for Our God whom heals, has set our feet ablaze once again in our fight in himself as he ushers us in preparing us in tearing down idols that have been in us or other's that we know in which warns us of present danger ahead like the signs on our hyways does and he prompts us to be careful in our lives in hopefully putting the stops before in going any futhers in our daily walk in the Lord. Wow ! What A GOD to cherish and learn from in our life today and having a nation to where we can come together in him. Thank You Father for this word today and we have a chance of living and in continually of living it out before you, and other's that is in and around our life dailyas we walkit mostly before You . catcmo2006
