The Making of a Mighty Warrior

God not only encountered and called Gideon but also instructed him on how to tear down a stronghold that was affecting him and others. God also spoke to Gideon’s true identity to free him, empower him, and prepare him for God’s calling. This message and article are about God’s faithfulness and our cooperation with God’s process. You see, God qualifies the called. None of us are perfect, only Jesus! However, as we surrender, trust, and obey the Lord, His purposes in and through us are accomplished. Today, as in Gideon’s time, God looks for those who are yielded to Him so that He can show Himself strong through them: “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” 2 Chr. 16:9 NKJV
