1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: And the Lord said unto Gideon, by the three hundred 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: men that lapped, I will save you and deliver the 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: Midianites into thine hand, and let all the other people go, 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: every man unto his place Judges seven seven. Father, before 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: I even begin my day, I thank you that word 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: of my bravery and your hand upon me as reached 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: the ears of all those who oppose me. Therefore, with 8 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: boldness in my heart, I will continue my journey in 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: overcoming the setbacks that have been sent to derail my destiny. 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: As my feet touched the ground, I thank you that 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: the devil and all his little minions are shaking because 12 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: of the power that is moving through me. I confess 13 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: that I will not have my mind set on a 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: certain way to win the battle, but instead I will 15 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: look to you Lord, with creativity and individuality, produce methods 16 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: that will confuse my enemy and give me complete victory 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: without burnout and turmoil. Like the story of Gideon and 18 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: Judges seven and eight, today is the day that my 19 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: name will be known throughout the enemy's camp. Today is 20 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: the day that all hell will move out of my way, 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: because the all powerful God is with me and his 22 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: angels go before me with trumpets and swords sent to 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: confuse and stun my enemies. Glory to God who shows 24 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: up again and again to fight for his children in 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: Jesus name. Amen. Thanks for making prayer or priority in 26 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: your life to hear the Bible come to life.

Previously, 29 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: we were introduced to God's new hero, Gideon. Gideon was 30 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: a cowardly and weak man, but the strength of God 31 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: fell upon him. He was filled with enough bravery to 32 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: summon an army against the Median night Horde. Now the 33 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: armies of Israel are gathered ready to follow Gideon into battle. 34 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: In this story, we'll learn of God's unusual tactics for 35 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: building an army and how he uses Gideon's intelligence to 36 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: lead Israel into victory. Inspired by the Book of Judges. Hello, 37 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the Bible 38 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: in a Year podcast. In yesterday's episode, we heard how 39 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: God called Gideon an unlikely and reluctant leader, and Gideon 40 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: was called to rally the troops against the Medianites and 41 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: the Amalekites who were pillaging Israel's crops and stealing their livestock. 42 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: Gideon was slow to accept his calling, but when he did, 43 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: he was joined by thirty two thousand men ready for battle. 44 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: Gideon then asked God for one more sign that he 45 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: was indeed going to save Israel, and like a patient 46 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: father reassuring his child, God gave Gideon the signs he 47 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: asked for, not just once, but twice. Today we'll see 48 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: how God chooses and uses a select company of men 49 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: out of the thirty two thousand troops that go to 50 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: battle with Gideon. It will serve as a sure sign 51 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: that the victory belongs to God and God alone, not 52 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: by might or power or military prowess. Let's listen right 53 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: now to today's reading. The sun rose over the Israelite army. 54 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: Sun rays shone into the common areas. Between tents, men 55 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: were preparing their armor and sharpening their swords. Over thirty 56 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: two thousand Israelite soldiers camped in the valley opposite of 57 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: the Midianite Horde, and the quiet preparation before war filled 58 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: the camp. Gideon sat before God for guidance and direction. 59 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: Gideon was no general. In fact, he would have never 60 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: even considered himself a brave man or warrior. He stood 61 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: before God, hanging on every word he spoke. The people 62 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: are too many for me to use, God said. Gideon 63 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: perked his ears up and his face gave a confused look. 64 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: God continued and said, if all these men march into 65 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: battle and win, they will boast of their own strength 66 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: and not mine. Gideon put his hands in his face 67 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: and sighed, rubbing his temples. He nodded to God and 68 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: left his tent. Who was he to question God? Now? 69 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: He gathered all the men into a common area. Thirty 70 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: two thousand of them gathered before Gideon. Gideon spoke confidently, 71 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: although he was not entirely sure how this was going 72 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: to help them. He said, whoever here is fearful and trembling, 73 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: get out and hurry back to where you came from. 74 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: Gideon watched as a sea of twenty two thousand men 75 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,559 Speaker 1: departed from the group. Gideon stood amazed that so many 76 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: of them experienced the same fear as he did. Although 77 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: Gideon might have been scared, he stayed for God's spirit 78 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: was filling him up continually. Day by day, he became 79 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: more and more valiant, ten thousand men remained, yet God 80 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: still said there were too many. Take them down to 81 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: the water. God commanded every man that laps the water 82 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: with his tongue like a dog will remain with you, 83 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: and whoever kneels down to sip from his hand will depart. 84 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: So Gideon watched as the men drank. He watched closely, 85 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: wondering what God was doing. The men who knelt down 86 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: to drink like a dog fully paid attention to the water. 87 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: The others who cupped the water in their hand were 88 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: constantly looking over their shoulders. Gideon recognized what God was doing. 89 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: The men who lapped had no fear of ambush. God 90 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: wanted an army of fearless men, so he sent away 91 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: all those that knelt down and was left with only 92 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: three hundred soldiers. He gave them all trumpets and told 93 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: them to rest for that night they would have their victory. 94 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: Night had fallen and the light of day had disappeared 95 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: from the earth. Gideon took one of his servants to 96 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: go spy on the Median night camp. The two men 97 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: creeped in the darkness, remaining hidden. The Midianites lay along 98 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: the valley like a dark sea. They were like locusts 99 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: in number, and even their war camels could not be counted. 100 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: Gideon's jaw dropped as he observed the vastness of their army. 101 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: There men seemed to outnumber the stars above them. The 102 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Midianites were mostly asleep, yet some of them stood watch 103 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: around the fire. Gideon's ears perked up as he heard 104 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: one of them speak. Gideon inched closer, trying to hear 105 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: what they were saying. He heard one soldier say, I 106 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: just had a dream. Some giant piece of barley bread 107 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: tumbled down to our camp and crushed the tents. Though 108 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: the image of bread crushing a campsite was laughable, the 109 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: soldiers were not amused. One of the soldiers replied, saying 110 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: that bread is the great sword of Gideon. He is 111 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: a mighty man of Israel, come to destroy us. When 112 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: Gideon heard this, his heart welled up with confidence. They 113 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: were afraid of him, him, Gideon, the smallest man of 114 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: the smallest tribe. Gideon departed immediately. He knew, now without 115 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: a shadow of a doubt, that God would slay the 116 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 1: media Nites under his blade. Gideon marched through camp, banging 117 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: his sword against his shield. Wake up, He yelled, arise, 118 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: for God will give us the Midianites tonight. Gideon divided 119 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: the three hundred men into three companies. He gave them 120 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: trumpets and empty jars to put their torches in. He 121 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: caught their attention and said, look at me, do as 122 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: I do. When I blow my trumpet, you will do 123 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: the same thing on every side of the Midianite camp. 124 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: So he dispersed his soldiers. They spread out around the 125 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: hills surrounding the Midianite camp. The jars above their torches 126 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: made the light disperse, giving the illusion a thousands instead 127 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: of hundreds. Gideon looked down at the Midianite hoarde. Then 128 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: he looked all across the hills and saw his three 129 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: hundred men surrounding the camp. The camp was quiet for 130 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: a moment. Then Gideon raised his trumpet to his mouth. 131 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 1: It echoed across the canyons, and three hundred trumpets joined it. 132 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: For the Lord and for Gideon. The men shouted. The 133 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: music of war shook the ground, and the Midianite army 134 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: awoke in a confused frenzy. The trumpets continued to bellow 135 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: across the valley below. The Israelites broke the jars in 136 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: their hands, and the piercing sounds of broken glass frightened 137 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: the camels. The trumpets continued to wail. It was dark, 138 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: but the torch lights from the hills loomed over the 139 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: camp like fiery arrows. A sword for the Lord and 140 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: for Gideon, every man shouted. The media Knights began to 141 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: flee in every direction. One by one, they began to 142 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: turn their swords on one another out of confusion. Gideon 143 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: listened as the cries of dying soldiers filled the canyon. 144 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: The media Nite horde dispersed in a bloody and frightened frenzy, 145 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: and the army of Israel pursued them, picking them off 146 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: in small rooms. Gideons sent messengers out to the rest 147 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: of Israel, saying, the media Nites are fleeing in every direction. 148 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: Raise up your swords and slaughter them. So the rest 149 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: of Israel joined in, finding scared media Nites and slave. 150 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: Shouts of victory flew through the hills and valleys of Israel. 151 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: Word of Gideon's bravery and the Lord's favor spread, and 152 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: the people of Israel hoped once again, though the danger 153 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: was not yet over. The new leadership of Gideon put 154 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: a fire in their bellies, and they were confident the 155 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: Lord would provide. This is an absolute great story. This 156 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: story begins with Gideon and his army of thirty two 157 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: thousand men, which was a formilable force. But then God 158 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: tells Gideon that there are too many, and if they 159 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: go to war with that many men, Israel will boast 160 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: in their own strength. Can't you imagine Gideon, who's already 161 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: prone to doubt and fear and questioning, as he's being 162 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: confounded by such a statement that there are too many soldiers, 163 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: too many? Isn't that a good thing? He must have 164 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: been thinking. Still, he was all in for God now, 165 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: and so on God's orders, he told his men that 166 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: if anyone who was fearful of fighting, they could go home. So, 167 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: when that was said and done, his army of thirty 168 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: two thousand was suddenly cut down to ten thousand. But 169 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: God said that was still too many. He had Gideon 170 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: test the men by having them drink water. Those who 171 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: lapped up the water like a dog were to be 172 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: separated from those who drank with their hands with their swords. Ready, 173 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: only three hundred men drank properly. This was a magnificent 174 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: minority because now only three hundred would stay and fight. 175 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: God told Gideon still that he would defeat Midian That night, 176 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: Gideon snuck into the Midianite camp because God had told 177 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: him that if he needed some encouragement before the battle, 178 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: just to go to the enemy's camp and listen and watch. 179 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: And so he did, and he heard two soldiers talking. 180 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: One was recounting an odd dream to the other. A 181 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: piece of barley bread had tumbled into camp and toppled 182 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: a tent. This was a strange dream, a nightmare, really, 183 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: And the meaning of this dream struck fear in the 184 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: hearts of that soldier and all of the camp of 185 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: the Midianites. This was a sign that God had given 186 00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: Midian over to Gideon, that Gideon's army would defeat Midianites. 187 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: Hearing this filled Gideon with encouragement, so listen to what 188 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: he did in Judges seven fifteen. As soon as Gideon 189 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped, 190 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: and he returned to the camp of Israel and set arise, 191 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: for the Lord has given the host of Midian into 192 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: your hand. Gideon is confident, but his confidence is in God, 193 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: and so he worships God and he told the others 194 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: all that God had done. Notice he doesn't say God 195 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: will give the host of Midian. No, to him, this 196 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: was a done deal. He is worshiping God because he 197 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: knows God has given him the victory, the promise of victory, 198 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: which is sure. Gideon's response is a great example for 199 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: us to follow. That we are to trust God and 200 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: then tell others of the greatness of God. And so, 201 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: with an army of three hundred men, Gideon surrounded the 202 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: camp of Midian with lit torches and loud trumpets. They 203 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: woke the enemy from their sleep, breaking jars to create 204 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: a deafening and terrifying sound. They were confused. The entire 205 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: camp was thrown into confusion, and soldiers began killing each other, 206 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: destroying decimating the army. The remaining men were easily defeated 207 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: by the three hundred Israelites. Imagine this, a small army 208 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: with the power of God defeating the enemy. Once again, 209 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: God had used an unlikely person and unconventional means to 210 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: grant Israel victory over a great foe. And now Israel 211 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: can once again live in peace. But would it last? 212 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: And with the next generation follow Gideon's example, we'll find 213 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: that out tomorrow, So let's pray. Dear God, we thank 214 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: you that you delight and desire to take the little 215 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: things and even small people and use them in a 216 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: great way.
