MESSAGES FROM GIDEON... SUMMARY

By -

  1. Gideon had a "Doughnut Life".  This is a life that starts off weak, has a strong middle with the Lord, then ends on a weak note once again. (Judges 6:15; 8:22-35)
  2. Gideon could not rightly identify God.  It looked as if he might miss God's visitation. (Judges 6:13, 17)
  3. Gideon had to have an "Ah! Sovereign Lord" moment in order to recognize God's visitation. (Judges 6:19-23)
  4. Gideon executes God's commands with wrong approach (wrong spirit/attitude). (Judges 6:27)
  5. Gideon - a man heavy into signs. (Judges 6:36-40)
  6. Gideon starts to be a "Yes Sir" man.  In this section of the story we see more of God dealing with Gideon than Gideon. (Judges 7:2-10)
  7. Gideon Gets Guts from God. (Judges 7:15 - 8:21)
  8. Gideon lost his God-focus.  He returned to his weakness and his ways.......and so did Israel. (Judges 8:22-27) 
  9. Gideon ends his "life's song" on a "sour note". (Judges 8:28-35)

ZEUS = LUCIFER

By -
With all the movies coming out recently that pertain to the Greek/Roman Mythology, I thought it rather interesting when I came across this blog today and thought I would share.  With many appreciations to Rob Skiba II! The following information is taken from the e-book series: BABYLON RISING: And The First Shall Be The Last written by Rob Skiba II   http://www.seedtheseries.com/blog/BR206.html To the Greeks, there was no higher deity than Zeus. He ruled supreme in the ancient world for three thousand years! Like Nimrod, he was known by many names . In the far north countries, he was known as Odin. The Egyptians associated him with Amon. The Hindus thought of him as Indra. The Romans knew him as Jupiter and the Assyrians, Medes, Persians and Babylonians appear to have known him as "Bel" or even Jupiter Belus. In fact, some even refer to the Tower of Babel as the Temple of Jupiter Belus . In every case, he was known as the "king of th...

His Plan For His Own

By -

Hindsight is always 20/20 or perfect vision. So, when the decision comes for God to share or not to share any part of His Plan for my life with me, I plead with Him to grant me a break every now-and-then and allow me to see and understand His upcoming events. Every time I pray this, I am reminded He may or may not choose to answer in the positive, but realize this is the age of Faith. Scripture says of faith -  "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1) .  So, from this confidence, hope and assurance I stand and inquire about His Plan For His Own. I would like to think and believe that many people and believers accept the idea of the all-knowingness of God. Some individuals, like those who ascribe to Deism, believe God created everything then stepped back and has watched everything unfold ever since with little to no involvement. This is not who Christians worship. When joining the concepts of God's supreme knowled...

The Stone Was For Us

By -

The stone-door, rolled away at the entrance to the tomb of Jesus, was not moved for the sake of Christ. This displacement of two tons worth of a disk-shaped rock, from a trough to keep it in place, by an angel of God, three days after the brutal suffering before the Cross and eventual crucifixion - was for humanity's benefit. The empty tomb is not a matter of faith, the emptiness is a fact. This is verifiable by anyone. History records the religious leaders and teachers of the day approached Pontius Pilate after the death of Jesus and requested a guard be placed at His tomb out of fear that Christ's disciples would steal the body, hide it and claim His resurrection. Pilate agreed, but ordered they use their own guards, which some consisted of Roman soldiers (Matthew 27:62-66) . Matthew 28:1-6 records what happens next. "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for a...
