Judges 7:7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. 8So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

2 Chronicles 15:And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: 2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. 5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 6And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

Jeremiah 5:25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.


I love the story of Gideon , it should remind us today as it did then, we do nothing without the power of God. If you do not know the story of Gideon please read Judges 6 through 8.
2 Chronicles 15: is very clear “The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.”

Then Jeremiah 5 tells us what sin cost. When the people of the past forgot Whose power wins battles, they were always reminded. We are in a time nations take much pride in our weapons and armies. We pray to a God that can wipe out an entire nation with” a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. “ When we forget this we will be reminded. The Spirit of God was with Gideon and Azariah. Jesus left us with the Holy Spirit of God and if we have faith of a mustard seed , we can move a mountain. They and we never needed man made weapons ... God has weapons that will melt and destroy anything ,anyone ever created...Never have pride in anything and trust in the God , Gideon trusted in that night...
