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.

IT'S A FATAL FLAW TO CONFLATE AMERICA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: The former established upon Christianity and the Bible. The latter upon anything but. The latter which is responsible for all but destroying the former.

That's right - America and the United States of America (aka the Constitutional Republic) are NOT the same thing! Not even close.

In fact, early 1600's Puritan America whose governments of, by, and for God were established upon the Bible's immutable/unchanging moral law was sacrificed on the altar of the late 1700s Enlightenment United States of America whose humanistic government of, by, and for the people was established upon capricious man-made traditions (aka the biblically seditious Constitution).

The latter is also known as the Grand Experiment in Self Government. Self-government!?! Gee, what could go wrong? Everything, just open your eyes and look around you. Everything gone wrong in America nationally is the consequence of this monumental case of biblical sedition committed by the 1787 cadre of Enlightenment and Masonic theistic rationalists.

Thus, ours is not to save the United States of America but, Lord willing, to restore America.

For more regarding these two polar opposite forms of government, see Chapter 3 "The Preamble: We the People vs. Yahweh" of free online book "Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective" at https://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/biblelaw-constitutionalism-pt3.html
