People of G-d, chosen by G-d,
especially because of their specific calling. Men & women, who by G-d Himself are chosen for a specific task in this End-time! Like
Gideonan "in the people's eyes" unimportant, but highly esteemed in the
eyes of G-d! Also the prophet Samuel, like normal men, was prone to judge by outward appearance
instead of the heart, as G-d does! (1 Samuel 16:6-7).
G-d had evidently directed Samuel
to have each of Jesse's sons pass before him, speaking in his ear in
each case to say this was not the right one
(1 Samuel 16:7-10; 1 Samuel 9:15).
When none were chosen
Samuel
knew something was wrong, because Samuel
had been directed to anoint one of Jesse's family as king! Upon
inquiring he learned of another son who had been too busy to come to the
feast. He was young and perhaps smaller than the others, but he was
chosen by G-d
who was looking on the heart and not the outward
appearance. The L-rd saw in him a man after His own heart
(1 Samuel 13:14; 1 Samuel 16:7).
David was the youngest of Jesse's eight sons. He became a mighty man of
valor
(1 Samuel 16:18).
He is referred to many times as a mighty warrior and able to do more
than many others in combat!But the L-rd said to Samuel, Look not
on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected
him. For the L-rd sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward
appearance, but the L-rd looks on the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7)
Gideon was the youngest son of an unimportant ancient Israelite
family. Gideon was the one the Lord chose to deliver His people. Gideon
himself doubted his calling and asked God for proof that He would keep
His promise to make Gideon a victorious leader!
"You have too many soldiers" G-d replied to Gideon! "If you defeat the enemy
with all those soldiers, you'll think you did it by yourself and brag Me
about the way you did it!" When Gideon brought on G-d's orders his troops down to the
Spring of Harod, there were only 300 soldiers chosen because they were
putting water up to their mouths and lapped it from their hands; all the
other 1,000's soldiers were lapping up the water like a dog from those
who get down on their knees to drink! To be successful against
the enemy the ancient Israelites needed to
depend on the L-rd G-d {YHVH}
completely! Gideon dismissed his most careless soldiers who knelt to
drink, like a dog, for they had thoughtlessly laid their weapons aside!
The more accurate watching - 300 - chosen by G-d
through Gideon gathered ...!
The more accurate watching - 300 gathered clay pitchers &
Shofars and they stayed with
Gideon to do the battle against the
enemy! "Get up now and go down to take
the army of the enemy, for G-d
has already given you the victory!"
The enemy had crowded "the valleys like swarms of locusts!
But the Lord G-d has given Gideon a great victory! Gideon divided
the three hundred man into three bands. Each man has a Shofar and an
empty pitcher with a torch inside each pitcher! When they come to the
outer edges of the enemies camp they
are going to blow their Shofars and shout: "For the L-rd and Gideon!"
"A sword for the L-rd and Gideon!" they shouted! They surrounded
the enemy's camp, blowing on their
Shofars and terrified the enemies "soldiers"
and these enemies ran, fighting and
killing one another as they went they way, fled from their camp to
places far away! With only 300 - men and even fewer weapons,
Gideon relied upon G-d's instructions to trick the enemy.
In the middle of the night, the exact appointed time frame, by a
"sleeping enemy" Gideon's soldiers quietly
surrounded the enemy's camp! It
confused the enemy!
With G-d, numbers are not important. He is able to defeat thousands with
dozens! G-d's strength is not in numbers of His labors, but in the power
He enable them! G-d wants it to make it obvious that He only is able to
bring it about His strength and not through our own! This truth applies
to any kind of victory we are seeking in our own life's! If we looking
after victory, we must not depend upon our own strength, but upon G-d's!
If they would cherish true
humility,
(1 Peter 5:5) the L-rd could do much more for His people, but there are few
who can be trusted with any large measure of responsibility or success
without becoming self-confident and forgetful of their dependence upon G-d! This is why, in choosing the "instruments" for G-d's work, the
L-rd-G-d passed by those whom the world honors as "great", talented and
brilliant! They are too often proud and self-sufficient. They feel competent to act without counsel from G-d! The most complete system that men have ever devised,
apart from the power and Divine wisdom of G-d, will prove a failure,
while the most unpromising methods will succeed when Divinely appointed
and entered upon with humility and real faith! Complete trust and
confident in the G-d of Israel and obedience to His will are as
essential to the nowadays generation of Christianity in their
spiritual warfare, just as Gideon in his battles with
the enemy. By repeated manifestations of
G-d's power in behalf of His own chosen people, G-d is willing to lead
them, so you, to have faith
in Him only, with confidence to seek after His help and guidance in
every emergency! G-d is just ad willing to work with the efforts of his
own people vow and to accomplish great things through "weak
instruments"! All Heaven awaits our demand upon its Divine wisdom &
strength! Now unto him that is able to do
exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the
power that worked in us, (Ephesians 3:20; KJV)
There
are -300-numbered (300 is symbolic, but it refers to a raiment inside
Christianity, of all who "think" they are warriors for Him. G-d had evidently directed just like Gideon {& Samuel}, to make a serious "selection" in order to have the
right people in charge!)
of G-d's specific appointed people in & more outside the
church, which are called the "300 -Gideon End-time-Warriors"!
They had paid
a heavy price and were tried into the purifying fire! They have lifted up their vision in a higher dimension!
They are ready to be activated to save the nations and rescue the lost
souls; therebellious children among G-d’s people!
They are
real
end-time warriors for G-d!
They areHis
specific chosen "300-End-Time-Gideon-Warriors"
who are wearing the robes of humility
with the label of
quality, and with Divine mandates!
They have the purity of soul and
heart, the obedience to the truth, the discernment of the voice ofthe Holy Spirit!
They carrying Hislove withouthypocrisy
and haven’t any confidence in selfishness
or self-righteousness!
They know Yeshuareally and have foundHimand have receivedHispower to warfare with
Him, to
intercede
prophetically,
to speak, to preach, to
prophecy, to heal, to reveal the truth, to
oppose, to discern, and to cast downdemons from their thrones.
They are the real
sons of G-d prepared to operate for this End-Time-Harvest!...Waiting also for to be
activate {maybe already done, when you are reading this!} in a super-natural way, which goes above our mind-set human
thinking! (Ephesians 3:20; KJV)
Gideon together with 32,000 men against
135,000 Midianites! G-d doesn't
want people praising the instrument, but praising Him! Gideon was
gracious having a true humility and an admirable quality. When the L-rd
called Him to lead the Israelites against Median he responded in a very
sincere way! G-d gave Gideon the key to success: "I will be with you"!
That's also the key of learning to work together with the L-rd! Like
Gideon we, as End Time generation, are also called in specific ways!
Gideon would face serious social problems and probable physical attack.
He took a great "risk" {having great faith!} by following G-d's higher law! The immoral state of
his fellow Israelites, when, like Gideon begin to accomplish something's
for G-d, you may be criticized by his very people who should normally
support you! With the army so small (1%; 300 of 32,000 men!) there could
be no doubt that this victory was from the very G-d
only! The men could not take
the credit! Like Gideon, we must recognize the danger in 'fighting' in
our strength! We can be confident of victory only if we put our
confidence in G-d and not in ourselves! Like Gideon we must listen only
to G-d and be ready to take the first step. Only later you begin to obey
G-d you will find the courage to move ahead! Recognize their specific
type of anointing; their typical calling; their missions of
impossibilities to the eyes of common people and facing their trials; we
as End Time generation will face this kind of anointing in higher
levels!
Dear
reader, try to understand with an open mind the 'picture' of this portion of spiritual
warfare, just to focus on only a few pertinent passages! In order that
the Ancient Israelites should not boast against G-d, that they had victory out
of their own strength decrease the amount of people! When you look very
specific and closely you can see a amazing fact: Those who knelt and
brought the water up to their months were in a alert position to watch
for enemy activities!
Those with their heads bowed down to the water were in no position to
see anything except what satisfied their own needs! We are also called
for many times to be continually watchful! Courage and willingness to
fight are not enough! The L-rd's frontline warriors must also "watch &
intercede"! G-d spotted a secret fear about attacking, lurking where
only He and Gideon could see it! Often they can remain totally
undetected until the actual battle! G-d will do everything in His power
to make sure we, as End-Time-Harvesters generation, don't carry any kind of fear to
the frontlines! Gideon himself, under the power of the
Holy Spirit,
recognized the mind of G-d to come up with the idea of what an
astounding thought pattern this was for a man like Gideon, who had never
in his life of anything but 'conventional & traditional! Likewise today,
we as End-Time generation, young or old, we need to be ready to make the
same kind of steps in faith and get rid of our 'conventional' thinking,
but going to think and practice in the miraculous! Today G-d already has
selected His warrior in His End-Time-Harvest Army Divisions! He knows
His people by their hearts and do not give attention on their outward
appearances!
Gideon and the
Holy Spirit used the weak
things of the world to confound the 'mighty'! It is dramatic and almost
ludicrous in the calling of Gideon! G-d could not use the great army
that gathered to His standard. There were too many to afford an
opportunity for G-d to work and, therefore, He had to sift them, and
than resift them, until from over 32,000, were reduced to only 300 men!
He allowed them to do it themselves, by a natural process of reduction.
First all the timed one were allowed to go home, and this 'thinned out'
two-third of the crowd. Next all the rash and reckless one were tested
by giving them the opportunity of drinking at the brook that lay
across their line of march; and as Gideon watched, it was not difficult
to find out by the way they drank, without even stopping to think of
their
danger of their enemies.
The prudent one's, on the contrary, looked carefully around, and keeping
guard against a surprise from
the enemies, drank
with prudent care, dipping up the water with their hands, and looking
carefully around with their watchful eyes; thus were the wary one's
chosen, and the others dismissed.
G-d wants not only brave men, but
prudent men for His work and warfare;
and every day we live we are passing judgment on ourselves either to
places of honor and service, or to be left at home, because of our
'unfitness'! G-d want 'fit' men for His work and He lets every men prove
his own 'fitness' or 'unfitness' by the practical tests of his daily
life! We little dream, sometimes a hasty word, a thoughtless speech, an
imprudent act, or a confession of unbelief may do hinder our highest
usefulness, or turn it aside from the great opportunity which G-d was
preparing for us!
G-d uses the foolish things to confound the wise.
Again we see the
Holy Spirit
using the weak things of this world in the weapons of Gideon's warfare!
They are very simple: Lamp-pitchers and Shofars.
That was all! The lamp or torches were expressive of the light and
fire of the Holy Spirit!
The pitchers suggested 'the
broken
vessels' of our surrendered bodies and lives! The Shofars signified
the Word
of G-d {G-d's voice} and the message of the Gospel {G-d's New Covenant
Word} that we are send to proclaim!
These are the weapons of our warfare, which are still mighty through G-d
to the pulling down of strongholds!
The
humbles servant of
the L-rd Yeshua Messiah
or Jesus the Christ,
armed with the Holy Spirit
and the Word
of G-d (Ephesians; Hebrews
4:12))
stands with the whole power of Heaven behind him! Men respect His
message at their peril, for Yeshua
Messiah had said: "He that
received you, received me!"!
The secret of all power of
G-d and men is to stand behind our message and our Master, and like
Gideon pitchers to be so broken ourselves,
that the light of our Heavenly torches can flash through the broken
vessels though which the message comes!

-Gideon End-time-Warriors" will be given the authority & activated for any
End Time Harvest Revival
word-wide in these last days! These precious saints will not make
compromises to get favor, to get money, to get positions,
to get control in the wrong way! They were
rejected at the most of your churches & ministries and by your
own leaders! They were "Not good enough" in their
opinion! Therefore in order to receive Revival-Fire
the Churches inclusive their leaders need to come out of their
denominational barriers and must come at the place of Revival
without being
hostile and putting it in rejection! They
need to understand what unity & cooperation really means!
They
are facing the enemies foes,
to confront and bring major defeat to
him and his foes at his own 'camp'
in order to save His people from
them!
They are a select and elect of God's chosen righteous people for G-d's
specific End time Harvest Revival! They have been activated after
a long time of pruning and growing in G-d's way. They are able to detect
the enemy and his plans without fear! G-d will deliver
the enemy
to you! They are going back to the
enemies' camp
striking down and taking back what
he stole
from His precious saints. They are strong victorious warriors with great
faith and honor; without fear; having great confident and boldness in
G-d! They are knowing His Word! They are having the great End-Time
Harvest - Anointing! They are sealed with the seal of
the Holy Spirit!
Gideon's clay
yards exposed in picture
(Just below) . Archeological findings from the time of
Gideon. The events of (all) Judges cover at least 440 years. Gideon was
the sixth' judge (Judges 6:11-8:32)
and was reigning for 40 years!
Actions of G-d
for Gideon:
1.
G-d came from Heaven to earth
(Judges 6:11).
2. G-d sat under an oak tree.
3. G-d appeared to Gideon (Judges 6:12).
4. G-d spoke to Gideon.
5. G-d looked upon him (Judges 6:14).
6.G-d
prophesied
to Gideon.
(Judges 6:16).
7. G-d sent Gideon to deliver Israel.
8. G-d made a promise (Judges 6:18).
9. G-d commanded Gideon (Judges 6:20).
10. Put forth the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched
the meal Gideon had prepared for Him (Judges 6:21).
10. Departed out of his sight.
It was an ancient superstition that if one saw G-d or an angel, he would
die
(Judges 6:22-23; 13:22; Genesis 32:30);
but no person has ever died because of seeing G-d and no one ever will!
There was a public of distress of Israel. They could not use regular
threshing floors for fear of their
enemies, so they threshed grain a little at
a time by flailing it instead of treading it with cattle. Gideon was
doing this by the winepress, a place his enemies
would not suspect because Israel had no
grapes left to make wine, since their enemies
took all the vineyards.
Gideon was humble here when called to deliver Israel, but later he
became exalted and failed G-d
(Judges 6:15; 8:22-28).
Z
On the map the places of Gideon's actions!
Gideon together with 32,000 men against
135,000 Midianites! G-d doesn't
want people praising the instrument, but praising Him! Gideon was
gracious having a true humility and an admirable quality. When the L-rd
called Him to lead the Israelites against Median he responded in a very
sincere way! G-d gave Gideon the key to success: "I will be with you"!
That's also the key of learning to work together with the L-rd! Like
Gideon we, as End Time generation, are also called in specific ways!
Gideon would face serious social problems and probable physical attack.
He took a great "risk" {Having great faith} by following G-d's higher law!
{The L-rd will
fight your battle! Here, faith without doubting is the
condition to meet if one wants the fulfillment of the benefits!
The prediction or promise is that everyone who meets the
condition will be answered, even to the moving of mountains}
A
Shofar is an
instrument made from the horn of a ram or other kosher animal. It was
used in ancient Israel to announce the New Moon (Rosh
Chodesh) and call people together. It was also blown on
Rosh Hashanah, marking the beginning of the New Year, signifying
both need to wake up to the call to
repentance, and in connection with the portion read on the second
day of Rosh Hashanah, the Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22) in which
Abraham sacrifices a ram in place of his son,
Isaac.
(Source:
Jewish virtual Library)
This will be a new dimension
to intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare! The Lord has revealed and
still is revealing today to our generation the spiritual dynamic and
tremendous power by using properly the Shofar (Ram’s Horn) as it was
used by the ancient Israelites! Today, the
Shofar is
featured most prominently in the Rosh Hashanah morning services. It is
considered a commandment to hear the
Shofar blown. The man who blows the
Shofar is
required to be of blameless character and conspicuous devotion; he must
blow blasts of different timbre, some deep, some high, some quavering! From all of the truths that have been stolen by
the enemy over the last 2000 years
the Lord now is
restoring our generation of His people! If the
enemy
made a point of taking it, then we can be sure there is power in it
The 'nowadays-well-dressed Christian' still has more to put on
in order to follow the Lord's example! "Clothe yourself with the
'cloth' of...humility"! Humility is the next instruction from
the
Scripture!
This humble mindset gives us a low opinion of ourselves, and
only
the Holy Spirit
can provide us with such a 'rare garment'. It is so easy to be
proud because of what we feel are
our superior talents, possessions or achievements. Pride
is so subtle! Humility is not
related to poverty, but to a 'broken spirit'!
The first confession
of a broken person is admission of total inability to succeed without G-d’s
favor. A clear heart cares and habitually guards against everything that
pollutes the mind. (Psalm 31:12; 34:18; 51:10-17; Matthew 21:44; 1 Samuel
15:24)
G-d pours out His Revival Spirit
upon His people. To bring us first to a deep sense of our own sins and
impurities! Then He can bring us into a spirit of humility & brokenness!
The L-rd will
fight your battle! Here, faith without doubting is the
condition to meet if one wants the fulfillment of the benefits!
The prediction or promise is that everyone who meets the
condition will be answered, even to the moving of mountains
(Matthew 17:20; Matthew 21:21-22).
Everyone without exception is promised everything he asks in
prayer, provided he qualifies for an answer!
Have unlimited faith without qualifying and limiting G-d's will
or what you want! (or your urgent need!)
Refuse to doubt in your heart!
Here is a similar story that partly indentify with the story of
Gideon!

call, was nevertheless a real man, and could easily have been
