The power of story. Of history. Of telling stories concealed.

Thank you Pastor Alex. Gideon's army was pared down to the elite forces. All moving in Gods direction. What a site that would be. Each man took out 4500 each of the opposition of the remaining 10k men. What a bloody victory it would have been. Christians, stand tall in victory as the evil forces have amassed in corporate numbers. I recall about 10 years ago that these hotels ( Holiday Inn) started taking out the Gideons bible form the rooms. Shame on those that have lost their way but we pray for their souls to be found and born again.

"Gideon was a man who was willing to do exactly what God wanted him to do, regardless of his own judgment as to the plans or results. Humility, faith, and obedience were his great elements of character. This is the standard that The Gideons International is trying to establish in all its members, each man to be ready to do God's will at any time, at any place, and in any way that the Holy Spirit leads."[7]

In keeping with this symbolism, the symbol of the Gideons is a two-handled pitcher and torch recalling Gideon's victory over the Midianites as described in Judges 7.

May you all have the faith that Gideon has.
