Your weapons for victory
December 11, 2009
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power…
--2 Corinthians 10:4
The battle plan that the Lord gave Gideon to defeat the Midianites is one of the most unusual battle strategies in Scripture.
These 300 men were to go into battle against an army of 135,000 using only trumpets, clay pots, and little torches! They had to have hoped for a spear or sword, but the Lord knew better.
Gideon's troops were positioned around the enemy, and when Gideon sounded his trumpet, his troops sounded theirs. He smashed his clay pot, and they smashed theirs. Gideon held up his light, and they held up theirs. And they shouted, "For the sword of the Lord and of Gideon!" The Midianites were startled out of their minds, and ran for their lives!
Now let me ask you, what did Gideon's men actually do? They did nothing but watch God bring the victory. This battle against all odds was won entirely by faith!
And in the same way, God has given you powerful weapons to win victories of faith.
So the next time the enemy threatens, do this: Sound the trumpet of your testimony, stay broken before God like that clay pot, shine his light, shout for the Lord, and watch God bring the victory!
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU POWERFUL WEAPONS TO WIN VICTORIES OF FAITH!

OUR THANKS TO YOU!
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
