Evolution theory denied in BIBLE
Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;[a]
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 100 NKJV
The revelation God gave me about this is " It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;"
THIS IS WHERE GOD IS DEBUNKING EVOLUTION COZ HE IS SAYING WE AS ORGANISMS DINT DEVELOP OURSELVES BUT IT WAS GOD!!!

Anger and Fret
Psalm 37:8
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
===> ANGER=> WRATH
do not fret-it leads only to evil.
FRET==> EVIL
(Fret:to be worried or unhappy and not able to relax)

When the Lord delights in a man's way
IF THE LORD DELIGHTS IN A MAN'S WAY,
HE MAKES HIS STEP FIRM;
THOUGH HE STUMBLE, HE WILL NOT FALL,
FOR THE LORD UPHOLDS HIM WITH HIS HAND.Psalm 37:23-24

Psalm 37 Review
"Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalms 37:4
This is the verse i got when i asked for his word before i slept early morning on the day on Nov 25,2008.
Just when i read the verse i questioned myself ...what it is to Delight the LORD...and what he meant by saying giving the desires of your heart.
The moment i asked this...i felt the answer in my mind saying continue reading and u will find ur answer.
Well here is the next verse...
Commit your way to the LORD, [This is what GOD MEANT BY DELIGHTING IN HIS WORD THAT IS TO COMMIT OUR WAYS UNTO HIM]
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn[This is the hearts desire God was talking about]
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
If you keep reading this chapter....God makes clear what he means by delighting in him and what the desire of our hearts should be like.
Desires of a heart of a person led by the Holy Spirit are nothing but the desire sof the Holy Spirit within him and so its the desire of God ultimately.
to be continued...
Delighting God ==>fulfilling of heart's desire
1)Commit your way to the LORD
2)trust in him ==>He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
3)Be still before the LORD and
4) Wait patiently for him;
5) Do not fret when men succeed in their ways,when they carry out their wicked schemes.
6)Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;do not fret-it leads only to evil.
7)For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the Land.===> Those who delight in him will have their hearts desire fulfilled just like here they will inherit the Land.
8) A little while and the wicked will be no more,though you look for them , they will not be found.
(((((SEE THE PATTERN IN EACH OF THESE VERSES WE CAN SEE WHAT GOD HAS TALKED ABOUT IN THE VERSE 4 ...
THAT IS WE CAN SEE THE PATTERN..... DELIGHTING IN GOD=> HEARTS DESIRE FULFILLED.
WE can see the same thing in varied forms...where Delight is meant in many forms and so is the intention of God's heart when he meant the desires of the heart being fulfilled.))))
9)But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
10)The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;
but the LORD laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming
11)The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows WILL BE( See the surity God is giving us that they will be definitely) broken.
12)Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked.
13)for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
14)The days of the blameless are known to the LORD,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
15) In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.{My placement promise...God gave me 2 job offers}
16)But the wicked will perish:
The LORD'S enemies will be like the beauty of the fields,
they will vanish -vanish will like smoke.
17) The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously,
18) Those the LORD blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses will be cut off.
19) IF THE LORD DELIGHTS IN A MAN'S WAY,
HE MAKES HIS STEP FIRM;
THOUGH HE STUMBLE, HE WILL NOT FALL,
FOR THE LORD UPHOLDS HIM WITH HIS HAND.
20)I was young and now i am old,
yet i have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
21) They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be blessed.
22)Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
23)For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.
They will be protected forever,but the offsrping of the wicked will be cut off;
24) the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
25) The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
26) The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.
27)The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
seeking their very lives;
but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
28)Wait for the LORD and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
29)I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
but he soon passed away and was no more;
though i looked for him, he could not be found.
30)Consider the blameless,observe the upright;
there is a future for the man of peace.
31)But all sinners will be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.
32)The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
33)The LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
The phrase which was repeated quite a few times now

like green plants they will soon die away.

God is continously tested of his Love for us
when we go thru trials...it is a trial for God.....a test of his love!!
He is able to love her even after all the horrible things we have done and thought all through the miserable years.
Isaiah 5:15
For this is what the High and lofty One says-
he who lives forever ,
whose name is Holy:
"I live in a high and holy place,
but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Isaiah 57:18,19
I have seen his ways,
but i will heal him:
I will guide him and restore comfort to him ,
creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel.
Peace,peace to those far and near, says the LORD.
"And i will heal them" .

Before the World began
John 17:3-5
"Now this is eternal life:
that they may know you, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me me to do.
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence
with the glory I had with you before the world began."
Questions answered in this scripture
1)What is eternal life?
John 17:3
2)what is meant by saying Glorifying God by us?
John 17:4
That is completing the work which God has given us to DO!!!
So.....It implies
i)We should know what work God gave us to do.
ii)When God gives us the work he DOESNT DO it just for NEED TO KNOW!!...he does it on a
NEED TO DO basis.
iii) We have to COMPLETE the work given....that means we need to be alive and alert all through to
get the work done.
3)Verse about Jesus being with God before THE BEGINNING?
Bible starts with the verse....In the beginning...God Created the heavens and the earth.
And here in the verse John 17:5 Jesus talks about being with God before this beginning mentioned in Gen 1:1
4)Muslims view of Christ contradicted many times in John 17th chapter where Jesus talks to God!!
John 17:10
All i have is yours and all you have is mine.
verse 11b
Holy Father,protect them by the power of your name- the name you gave me -
so that they may be one as we are one.
verse 21b
May they also be in US(this is the important part here) so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
John 17:24b The glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
"Now this is eternal life:
that they may know you, the only true God, and

Beauty Personified
Hallelujah
Praise the Lord!!!
Todays thought of the day
Well today the Holy Spirit made me ponder about the beauty of seeing Christ face to face.
Coz well Christ is personification of all good that there is....
And remembering all the wonderful things God has done in our lives, its just beyond our imagination
to imagine a person who is filled with so much love for us.
And we know that when he smiles at us...he means it....not like many people in the world today who
do that on the outside only; But i was just thinking that when i see him......
every emotion on his face is for real.....
I mean that God is the one and only person who means everything he says.
And to see someone like him is way too beyond our imagination and even more beyond our imagination
bcoz out of his mouth come the sweetest words u would ever get to hear.
Coz When he said....I love U with an unfailing Love and Undying Love ...he meant it...
The Proof for it is U ARE READING THIS....hehe
U are alive..an opportunity to praise God with ur life here on earth.
Even after all the horrible things we have thought and done all the days of our miserable life before Christ Happened.
Well even after all that....he still Loves US.....Thats the proof we can see.
So he said he Loves us with an unfailing Love...and his Love never failed.
We know that God is there..we have seen him in our lives...taking care of us everyday.
But to get to see him is beyond worth which can never contemplate.
Seeing God....
The very person who meant everything he said all through the Bible.
The very person who did everything Just for us.
The very person who even died so that he can see us smile.
So to see him...that smile on his face....when he sees us would be the most amazing moment
which we can never contemplate even in wildest dreams and imaginations.
Im just thinking JUST ABOUT THE SMILE OF HIS LIPS...
And we know that every cell part of him says I LOVE U...
we would never know wat it is like unless we see him ofcourse.
So lets be true to him...coz he is the best thing that ever happened to us...and let us not take it for granted.
We can say that In Christ...THE REAL DEFINITION IS PERSONIFIED.
We will know wat really "Beauty" means when we see God in his splendour and
Christ -Our Lord and savior and the Holy Spirit right within us..
Praise the Lord today for this wonderful revelation.
Glory to the Holy Spirit of God.
Amen
Praise the Lord!!!

AnonymouS
------------
This is an awful person writing here!!!!!
Well i prefer to stay anonymous bcoz iam ashamed of my doings....
But i would surely testify against this wondrous doing of the Lord in this sinner's life!!
Right from yesterday evening to today's break....i hae given myself up to the evil one.
I just ignored God and his words as i just went to follow the desires of my body.
Well God spoke to me many times and i knew wht his Love was....
but i slipped into ignorance and a Hard Hearted as i chose my pleasures over God.
well i was watching pornography all night long...i was watching all night long till the morning..
I saw one movie after another without stopping...and me doing it without even sleeping
shows the amount of Hold i gave to the devil..
I knew God was trying to get me out of it...but i bluntly turned my face away from him..
And my heart was already very hardened.
I almost kept watching one movie or the other till about 7:30 am when i slept as i was still watching...
I should have easily skipped my breakfast coz it ends by 10:00 am and
since i slept just at 7:30 am....
i should have got up much later and missed my breakfast!!!!!!
But i somehow got up at 9:45 am itself...and when i got up and had a look at my watch...
I was like
Did God just wake me up????????
I was surprised that he cared abt my breakfast even after my sinful life all night long...
The moment i said this...God somehow made me turn my head...to a verse on the wall
which i ve written and HE EXACTLY TURNED MY EYES EXACTLY TO THIS VERSE on the wall..
This was the verse...
"He answers HIM from his HOly Heaven!!!!!!!"Psalm 20
((You can understand how much i was in addiction tht i was ignoring even the verses which ive written on my wall and kept sinning by turning a blind eye to them!!))
I was SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!
I surely dint at all expect God to reply first of all and tht too so quick!!!!!!!!
AS i still was in shock as to why God answered me and WHY God is caring about me
even after all that ive done till morning!!
God just turned my head to another verse on the hanging of my wall...and it said...
"I will Sup with him." Revelation 3:20
I felt may be its my mind its automatically searching for verses that relate
to eating and not God....
But the moment i said that God literally again turned my head to exactly one part of this verse
and i saw as rest of the sentence was blurred and only this stood out!!!
And it said "Father feeds them" Matthew 6:32
And im still in amazement and surprise...
and i started to remember what God spoke to me again and again.
When i went to the mess....there was a long line and i thought of skipping...
But i remembered God told me that he will feed them....So i waited and
even when it was a Big Line it got over much faster than usual!!!!
AS i considered what he spoke to me...
I couldn't even come to terms
What he told me the first time....Tht is "He answers him from his Holy Heaven"
I was like tht means God was watching over me all night....
Even when i was sinning
Even when it was hurting him watching me like that
He just waited for tht very moment all night long ....
Tht very moment when i would say
God are u really talking to me?????
And when i said that he dint wait another second but quickly responded that
he answers me from Hid holy Heaven.!!!!
Just now...as i put my face downcast and put up a sad face...and i was just thinking if
my roommate would observe the sadness of my face and ask me...
Well tht very moment God showed me a Smiley Smiling face on the corn flakes cover which was on my desk.
Friends...u have seen How God dint let me go!!!!!
If he forgave me....even after all it tht i have done....
tht just shows How Much How Much How Much How Much.............................
How Much
God Loves Us!!
Dear Dad..i just dont know what to say Lord...
All i want to do now is Lord to Have You In all of my thoughts lest i should stray away
from YOU and cause u pain in loving Heart!!!!
Friends....Do keep me in your prayers as an anonymous person itself as God knows me...
That i will have victory in life every single moment for Christ!!!....
because He deserves it!!!!!
He deserves to be Glorified with a Holy Life!!!!
Help me Love You Lord God and My saviour Christ.

I almost kept watching one movie or the other till about 7:30 am when i slept as i was still watching...
I should have easily skipped my breakfast coz it ends by 10:00 am and
since i slept just at 7:30 am....
i should have got up much later and missed my breakfast!!!!!!
But i somehow got up at 9:45 am itself...and when i got up and had a look at my watch...
I was like
Did God just wake me up????????
I was surprised that he cared abt my breakfast even after my sinful life all night long...
The moment i said this...God somehow made me turn my head...to a verse on the wall
which i ve written and HE EXACTLY TURNED MY EYES EXACTLY TO THIS VERSE on the wall..
This was the verse...
"He answers HIM from his HOly Heaven!!!!!!!"Psalm 20
((You can understand how much i was in addiction tht i was ignoring even the verses which ive written on my wall and kept sinning by turning a blind eye to them!!))
I was SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!
I surely dint at all expect God to reply first of all and tht too so quick!!!!!!!!
AS i still was in shock as to why God answered me and WHY God is caring about me
even after all that ive done till morning!!
God just turned my head to another verse on the hanging of my wall...and it said...
"I will Sup with him." Revelation 3:20
I felt may be its my mind its automatically searching for verses that relate
to eating and not God....
But the moment i said that God literally again turned my head to exactly one part of this verse
and i saw as rest of the sentence was blurred and only this stood out!!!
And it said "Father feeds them" Matthew 6:32
And im still in amazement and surprise...
and i started to remember what God spoke to me again and again.
When i went to the mess....there was a long line and i thought of skipping...
But i remembered God told me that he will feed them....So i waited and
even when it was a Big Line it got over much faster than usual!!!!
AS i considered what he spoke to me...
I couldn't even come to terms
What he told me the first time....Tht is "He answers him from his Holy Heaven"
I was like tht means God was watching over me all night....
Even when i was sinning
Even when it was hurting him watching me like that
He just waited for tht very moment all night long ....
Tht very moment when i would say
God are u really talking to me?????
And when i said that he dint wait another second but quickly responded that
he answers me from Hid holy Heaven.!!!!
Just now...as i put my face downcast and put up a sad face...and i was just thinking if
my roommate would observe the sadness of my face and ask me...
Well tht very moment God showed me a Smiley Smiling face on the corn flakes cover which was on my desk.
Friends...u have seen How God dint let me go!!!!!
If he forgave me....even after all it tht i have done....
tht just shows How Much How Much How Much How Much.............................
How Much
God Loves Us!!
Dear Dad..i just dont know what to say Lord...
All i want to do now is Lord to Have You In all of my thoughts lest i should stray away
from YOU and cause u pain in loving Heart!!!!
Friends....Do keep me in your prayers as an anonymous person itself as God knows me...
That i will have victory in life every single moment for Christ!!!....
because He deserves it!!!!!
He deserves to be Glorified with a Holy Life!!!!
Help me Love You Lord God and My saviour Christ.

He broke my Stony heart just when i asked him
Im speechless as i writing this!!!
first of all...iam not all worthy of writing this but....
the Lord chose me....a fool like me...and tht too
when i betrayed him outright...
I wantedly masked his Love with My desires....my priorities...
I had been living the worst lifestyle ever from the past few days...totally stopped
reading his word and totally gave up God...
I was living life like i wanted trying to fulfill JUST my desires....dint submit myself to God anymore..
i dont know why but God has not punished me physically or in anyway that i expected him to...
So since no harm was happening....i continued with my evil lifestyle....
but after so many days of my evil lifestyle...
I just realized this.....
As i was walking in the corridors my college lab of IIIT Allahabad...its huge beautiful and highly sophisticated labs
with neat working environment and each one of them has a comp and a huge table space...
and as i was walking around ....i saw the people around me each of them came into this college bcoz of their intelligence...
And then i realized How God put me here just by his grace.
God gave me this picture in my mind....the picture of his bleeding hand and he showed the blood which was still oozing out
of the hole in his hand made BY ME!!!
I was the one who literally took a driller which has is used to drive nails into wall and take it
and then with my own hands i have drilled his hand ...my father's hand!!!!!!
The very hand which held me when i was about to fall....
The very hand which wiped away my tears when i cried unto him
The very hand which took me out of the pit i was in.
And i imagined myself trying to block the blood which was oozing out of the hole in his hand which i made!!!
And i held his hand tightly as the blood was oozing out ....to my heart and said,.....God don't let me bleed you anymore!!!!!
I realized that my heavenly father has bled for my sins...
and i realized that he bled so that i can get into IIIT Allahabad...
he bled so that I WOULD NOT BE TREATED AS MY SINS DESERVE....so that i can have the best and
not the worst as my sins deserve!!!
Isn't it beautiful he suffered for us so that we can have the best ...so that he may not have to count us as our sins deserve!!!
I dint have this realization for the past few days.....but today i remember i asked God that...
God i know i have drifted so far away tht i dont even have any idea of how far i have gone...
I knew that cause i can feel my heart harden and be sensitivelessness against everything what God was trying to teach me...
and i told him God unless i have a real awakening...a real repentance of my heart so much tht i could cry realizing the mistakes im doing!!!
i knew i was doing mistakes...but i was not able to get repentance in my heart!!!!
i just told him while my heart still was hard!!! i told him its upto you to make it flesh again so tht ur words can sink into it.
today i came into the lab to get Linux installed on my computer for a yahoo programming test a day later!!!
And one more thing....God made me realize one thing here..
actually i was given a system in the other lab than the one im in right now....
That lab which i was initially in was very spacious and huge...
i liked it...
but later they shifted me to other room which was not so spacious;
i was feeling why did God put me into this new lab as i felt the first lab only was good...
NOW God made me understand WHY!!!!
The reason is because though the first lab was good ...the AC In it would switched off in the nights and there were no normal fans in that room...
so in the evenings and nights....it would be very very hot!!!!
But in this lab we have AC and tht too the AC directed at me which was not in the first room....
and tht too a fan above my head and very airy!!!!
And now i realize Why God gave me....
Sometimes god gives us something for a purpose ...but we don't understand that purpose unless we ask GOD!!!!
And so as i was telling as i came to install linux in my lab comps along with 2 of my friends...
though i was the first one to start installing....some error came in the end of installation
as i had to start installation again...by this time both of my friends systems were installed with linux and so they left...
So i felt bad that i had to do it all over again!!!!!
But just then as none of my friends were there....i was free in the lab!!!
So i decided to check my rediffmail after a long time ...since from the time i was living dark life...
i stopped checking my mail coz it contained many mails of daily bible verses mailed to me everyday!!!!
As i checked i knew God would talk to me and this is what he told me....as i was god to help me turn from my sinful ways!!
*********************************************((this is the mail i received when i opened my mailbox and i knew God would talk something from this mail ...
I believed God would talk to me and i opened the mail and he did talk talk to me as u will see below***********************
Purified
Today's Scripture
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”
(I John 1:9 KJV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
What comes to your mind when you think of the word “pure”? You might think of a young, innocent child or fresh,
fallen snow. It’s interesting that most people don’t immediately think of themselves as pure even though that’s
exactly how God sees us once we receive His forgiveness. The scripture says that He cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
It doesn’t matter what may have happened in the past, the Bible says that He takes our sins and casts them into
the sea of forgetfulness. That means He chooses not to remember them. When God looks at you, He doesn’t see your
past mistakes and failures; He sees your future. He sees your gifts and talents. He sees your destiny.
Oftentimes, the enemy will try to hold us back by reminding us of our past. Whenever you start to feel guilty or
condemned, remember this scripture. If you have confessed your sins to the Father and have received His forgiveness,
then you have been purified. Let this truth sink down deeply on the inside of you. As you do, you will be
strengthened and empowered to rise to new levels so you can enjoy the abundant life He has for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father in heaven, thank You for Your love and faithfulness. Thank You for Your promise to cleanse and purify me.
I surrender every area of my life to You today and invite You to have Your way in me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
***********************************************************************************************************
I was counting myself sinful and horrible...and worthless....But see how God is talking to me!!!
He says that he sees me as purified coz HE has shed the blood for that!!!!!
can u feel the pain of trying to forget the mistakes....which we do!!!!
if someone has behaved wrongly with you again and again....
How much hard it would be for us to then keep it away and Love them!!!
Well in the same way God has a lot of pain as he says HE CHOOSES Not to TREAT US LIKE SOUR SINS DESERVE!!!!!!
God told me to concentrate on the part"CHOOSES"!!!!!
And tht he goes through lot of pain for that....coz we hardly realize and keep hurting him agian and again!!
And God led me to this Song of 12 Stones band named "The Way i feel"
and tht was when i visited one of friends who i met at the parra camp last year
and yesterday i saw her online and scrapped and she scrapped me back...
and as i saw her in my scrapbook ...i felt like checking her profile as she got married recently
so i decide dot check her marriage pics which she updated.....
she uploaded only one video in her orkut account...tht was this song "THE WAY I FEEL"
And when i listened to the song and downloaded the lyrics....I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!
See the lyrics....God was speaking to me through this song....

The Way I Feel Lyrics
Lately I've been wandering((_THIS LINE REFERRED TO MY PRESENT CONDITION Where I WANDERED AWAY FROM GOD))
Off the narrow path
You've given me so many things that I've never had((Relating to the many gifts he gave in my life like the seat at one of the country's best colleges))
All in all I know it's you that always pulls me through
If you reach deep inside you'll see my heart is true
Cuz I hate the way…I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice…yeah
Come on
The world I know is pulling me, more and more each day
I feel like the odd man out as I begin to pray
Spiteful eyes are watching me
With everything I do
In the midst of darkness, Lord((( I CALLED HIM WHEN I WAS STILL UNREPENTANT AS I MY HEART WAS LIKE A STONE AND IT WOULDN'T REPENT SO I ASKED THE LORD HIMSELF to BREAK IT AND HE broke it!!!!!!!)))
My spirit calls for you
Cuz I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice yeah
--Bridge--
(You know sometimes deep inside...)
I feel like death...
--Solo--
Cuz I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice
Yes, I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life..yeah
The way I feel, I hate the way... the way I feel...

My Calling
I just put my head phones and put it on high volume and kept it playing but i
dint keep them on my head ...i kept them on the table..but i was able to hear even then.
As i was talking to God...i dint concentrate for while even as the song was playing...
and As i was talking to God ...God taught me today..that
For me to understand and feel his heart beat i need to go through trials and sufferings
and pain so that i can understand what God goes through when we behave foolishly and sin against
the Lord.
As i was a little scared the way God told me tht i would have to suffer a lot...
Just then God made me diver my attention to the song at the exact moment ...
where the song sang " ALL GONNA BE OK"....from Believe Me from Zoe girl band.
I just remembered How God said to Moses that he was going to be with HIM when he told him to go to
he wanted him to free them from pharaoh....
and so now iam going to watch it....ill continue writing after i see tht FAVOURITE CLIP OF MINE
WHERE GOD TALKED TO MOSES IN THE BUSH!!!!
so When i saw the video....i just tried to relate everything
God spoke to Moses as
God speaking to me...
Then God said " i have seen the oppression of my people, and
have heard their cry!!!!! (( I felt God telling me to go to the people of uttar pradesh..i felt
i have calling towards these people))
So i have come down to deliver them out of slavery and bring them to a good land a land
flowing with milk and Honey (( From land of slavery of sin and ignorance to land of worshipping the MOST HOLY
AND TRUE AND EVER LOVING!!!))
and so unto pharoah i shall send you...(( By this God told me that he wants me to go against all the EVIL spirits at work in this land))
Moses says... Who iam to lead these people.....i was the son of the man who killed their children and
then moses says that u have chosen the wrong messenger...
HOW CAN I EVEN SPEAK TO THESE PEOPLE..(( AS Moses was saying this statement..i just remembered that
i was not good in speaking Hindi which i knew when i stood before in the church to testify
and i had a hard time to express myself in Hindi....
But then as i was just thinking........ God said in the video
WHo gave Man his mouth?
WHO MAKES HIM DEAF OR MUTE?
WHO GIVES HIM SIGHT OR MAKES HIM BLIND?
Is it not I,the Lord?
Now Go;
I will help you speak and will teach you what to say!!!!! God told me this the moment i was thinking i cant speak hindi that well ))
I asked God if it is ur Will tell me clearly ....is my call is to go for the people of Uttar pradesh..
Then I said i will look down on this Specific Bible page which was already open as i was speaking to God and told God that...
if you somehow tell me from this page and i told him i will be looking not at the entire page but only the left bottom part of the page.
and i told him to tell me from the verses there only...
And as i looked at tht page...God exactly led me to left bottom part where i saw first the word "u" i dint even see the entire word as i was
searching for a word starting with "u" is there in the passage i told God to show me from!!!
And then the next moment i saw what the word was and it was "UP"..................
God told me Uttar Pradesh very clearly... it was there in Hosea 8:4....
Which entirely talks HOW MUCH GOD IS DISPLEASED WITH THE IDOLATORY THERE!!!
dint keep them on my head ...i kept them on the table..but i was able to hear even then.

A Mouthpiece for God
“How can I give you up? How can I let you go?
How can I forsake you? My heart cries out within me.
How I long to help you!” (Hosea 11:8-Living)
by God’s unchanging, longsuffering, compassionate
love, that perpetually desires to bring His backslidden
people back to Him and to genuine holiness
*********************Just today as i was travelling in the evening and talking to
God ...i remembered about the prophecy a srilankan pastor told me...
tht day was the time he was going back to sri lanka after spending a camp with him at church.
And was expecting him to put his hands on me and pray for a while and give some prohecy to me
about the new year as it was the new year night.
But he was not praying...i still waited ...he prayed for many other people...but he dint!!!
Then when i got a chance i told that Pastor please pray....He told me
1) Be a mouth piece for GOD.
2) Grow in the Lord.
I just remembered this today!!!!!!!
And now when i checked my mail...i got frommy weekly message from zac poonen
the same thing.....and just yesterday God gave me glimpse of how it is to look
through God's eyes....
where i understood that when u see people rejoicing in the Lord its a
delight COZ ITS NOT THEM THEY BECOME FACES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!
So its the Holy Spirit itself manifesting among the brethern as they
EVERYTHING THEY DO IS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!!!
When they sing...they sing unto the Lord and when they dance they sing unto the Lord!
below is an excerpt from tht!!!!!
"First of all, ask God to take you through deep experiences
whereby you get to know Him –
experiences of trials,
sufferings and
pain.
Then God will make you His mouthpiece to many people.
Walk with God in secret.
Humble yourself
under whatever God sends in your life."
How can I forsake you? My heart cries out within me.
How I long to help you!” (Hosea 11:8-Living)
by God’s unchanging, longsuffering, compassionate
love, that perpetually desires to bring His backslidden
people back to Him and to genuine holiness

I just remembered this today!!!!!!!
And now when i checked my mail...i got frommy weekly message from zac poonen
the same thing.....and just yesterday God gave me glimpse of how it is to look
through God's eyes....
where i understood that when u see people rejoicing in the Lord its a
delight COZ ITS NOT THEM THEY BECOME FACES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!
So its the Holy Spirit itself manifesting among the brethern as they
EVERYTHING THEY DO IS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!!!
When they sing...they sing unto the Lord and when they dance they sing unto the Lord!
below is an excerpt from tht!!!!!
"First of all, ask God to take you through deep experiences
whereby you get to know Him –
experiences of trials,
sufferings and
pain.
Then God will make you His mouthpiece to many people.
Walk with God in secret.
Humble yourself
under whatever God sends in your life."
God told me not to talk muchhhhhhh
God told me this to me because i love gossiping and i talk a lotttttttttt
and i love to talk sooo much that if i suddenly get into the mood of talking
anything i will continually keep blabbing all about it!!!
Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue:
and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned" (Mt.12:36-37).

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD
Experience His Love
Today's Scripture
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38 KJV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
God loves you so much today. He wants you to know and experience His love.
When you experience something, it becomes real to you. You “own” it,
so to speak. For example, if you’ve never eaten chocolate, someone else
can describe it to you. They can tell you all about the taste and texture,
but until you take a bite of it, it won’t really mean anything.
In the same way, you can hear all about God’s love and how wonderful He is,
but it’s not until you experience it first hand and allow His love to sink
down into your heart, that something happens on the inside of you.
His love changes you. It builds confidence and strength in you.
It empowers you to overcome temptation and to stand strong no matter
what difficulty you may be facing. When you open your heart and receive
His love, you will be fully persuaded that nothing can separate you from Him!
A Prayer for Today
Father in Heaven, I open my heart to You today. Fill me with Your love
so that I can know You more. I surrender every area of my life to You
and ask You to fulfill Your purpose in me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Never Alone by Barlow girls
God led me to this song.. even though no one told me about this band
there were lots and lots of videos to download but i randomly selected and God directed me to this
beautiful song..firstly he directed me to Superchick band song"barlow girls"
and from there he directed me here to this song.
This can be our song during our transition from the point when we sin and then realize our guilt and
try to come back to God and tht point of time we wont feel God
And we blindly call upon him believing that he will be there!!!!!
BARLOW GIRL LYRICS
"Never Alone"
I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?
[Chorus:]
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone
And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life
We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
[Chorus]
We cannot separate
You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

The eyes of God
I was watching some music videos and i asked God please give me the eyes to watch these videos
the way you would look at them.The reason i asked this was bcoz i did not want to distract
myself looking at the
"""video""" ((not what they wanted to show through the video that is the meaning of the video
but looking at the "CONTENTS OF THE VIDEO"))
rather than feeling the song and looking at it with my heart rather than with my eyes.
And i Closed my eyes believing that God would give me the eyes the moment i open my eyes.
And as i opened my eyes..i was actually watching a video of Zoe girl-I Believe in God...in which
to be honest i dint like one of the dancers in that video may becoz of the weird make up.
And by the time i opened my eyes..God gave me this...
EVery Good thing which we do comes from the Holy SPirit.
And God told me that the ones dancing are not them but its the Holy SPirit itself.
It told me that the people in the video were FACES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
It was Holy SPirit itself that was dancing unto the Lord.
So lets do everything unto the Lord...
When we eat ...we eat unto the Lord...
When
And then suddenly i was blown off this revelation coz EVERY TIME WE SEE OUR BROTHERS AND
SISTERS DOING THINGS UNTO THE LORD, THEY THEMSELVES BECOME THE FACES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WE are seeing "THE HOLY SPIRIT"..WE ARE SEEING GOD HIMSELF....U TELL ME WOULD YOU WORRY ABOUT
HOW JESUS WOULD LOOK....FAIR OR DARK???
WELL NOOOOOOOOO WAY>....
HE IS SUCH A LOVING PERSON...IT JUST WONTTTTTTTTTTT MATTER RIGHT!!!!!!!!
WHEN WE LOVE THE PERSON!!! It just dont matter nothing matters...
all we want is them to be with us!!!
FRIENDS ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU HIS EYES!!!!
Just by reading this topic i ve wrote you cant really get what im saying unless...
the Holy Spirit reveals to you personally!!!!!!
SO ASK GOD PERSONALLY AND HE WILL REVEAL!!!!
And im telling you when you have his eyes....EVERYTHING AROUND YOU WILL JUST FILL US WITH JOY!!!
COZ even the nature when it sings through the birds it does so unto the Lord
and so its the Holy Spirit all around us..
And when i see christian videos of people dancing unto the Lord...
it just fills me with joy now coz i know its the Holy Spirit which is dancing unto the Lord..
And to see the Holy Spirit dance it just is woww.....
As we little children sing unto the Lord with smiles on their faces....its

When u wear some dress...Ask God how are u looking to him and look for his word
and im sure he will say nothing less than "Cool"....
I even ask him what to wear when im confused and he answers!!!
Let us integrate him into our lives like never before.
When ever i see some music videos..God tells me what was going through the minds of the people i see in the video
God tells me their thoughts as i see them praising the Lord!!!!!
He told me what was going through his mind when he was talking to moses at the burning bush.
He told me that when he was telling moses this that He will be with im when he goes before the pharoah.That he will
stretch his hand and do mighty miracles..." this is what God was thinking.
"MOSES YOU DONT EVEN HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT IM GOING TO DO FOR MY CHILDREN,
IM GOING To SACRIFICE MYSELF FOR YOU, MY SON IN THE MOST HORRIBLE WAY EVER.
JUST SO THAT I CAN SEE YOU WITH ME, IN MY ARMS THTS WHERE YOU BELONG!!!

Fulfilling the Law of Christ
Today's Scripture
Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2 NIV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
It pleases God when we live in peace and unity; when we love and serve others and put their needs above our own.
The bible says we are fulfilling the law of Christ when we carry each others burdens, when we pray for them and
when we are supportive in their time of need. There are many ways to reach out to people and help carry their burdens.
Just by giving an encouraging word or smile, you can help lighten the load for someone. When you pray and intercede for
others in their day of difficulty, you are helping carry their burdens. Maybe there are other ways to help the people
around you. Maybe you can pay for someone's groceries, or give someone cash at the gas pump. Anytime you help others
and reach out to them, it's as if you are directly lending a hand to God.
Remember, in God's kingdom what you sow, you shall reap. When you help others, God promises to repay you. He'll make
sure that people reach out to you in your time of need as well so that you can live in victory and blessing all the
days of your life.
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, I want to fulfill Your law of love by serving and helping others. Show me how to be a blessing to
the people around me so that I can help carry their burdens. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
*****************************************************************************************************************|
From this God Told me to explicitly concentrate on this
""""He'll make sure that people reach out to you in your time of need as well so that you can live in victory and blessing
all the days of your life. """"
Isnt it beautiful ..God doesnt delight in doing miracles all by himself...He wants us HIS CHILDREN...to be a part of it...
He wants to do miracles through you...he knows when we fall down yet he doesnt forget who we are born to be...
WE ARE BORN TO BE THE CHILDREN OF THE GOD MOST HIGH WHO CALLED US EACH BY HIS OWN NAME AND TOLD THAT WE ARE HIS....
BCOZ HE THINKS WE ARE WORTHY ENOUGH TO DIE FOR!!!!!! ISN'T IT AMAZING.
God always gives us opportunities to do his will....to do greater things than u ever imagined...but they all start
with a small decision in your heart every moment where you should choose to spend the next moment for him rather than
for urself, for ur desires, for ur flesh,for ur selfish lusts, for u, for u , for u , for u....MAN IS BY DEFAULT SELFISH..
AND WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT BEING ALERT...
God talked with me and gave a revelation for this verse this morning through a message of a verse in my mobile.
The verse is Matthew 16:25"Those who love their life will lose it and those who loose their life for God's sake will find it"
I dint have this revelation before but today i do..coz God teaches through experiences every thing he teaches us through his words.
What the above line means is that THOSE WHO LOVE THEIR
1)Selfish life=>Selfish way of living
2)Compromised life=>Compromised Life..compromising and living life the way we want and giving up our promised life..
3)Fleshy life=> Living to satisfy what ur flesh wants rather than what God wants.
4)Uncommitted life=> Living a life without ever moment commitment unto the Lord.
As we can see that God is talking about TWO KINDS OF LIFE IN THIS STATEMENT
1) THE KIND OF LIFE WE WANT TO LIVE.
2)The KIND OF LIFE God wants us to live.
God is saying when we give our way of life for HIM, WE WILL FIND THE REAL WAY OF LIFE THAT IS
HIS LIFE, THE LIFE FULL OF HOLY SPIRIT, WHERE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFESTS ITSELF IN EVERY MOMENT OF OUR LIFE.
((( AS I WAS writing this article..God promised me this.... "FOR I WILL GIVE YOU Words AND WISDOM THAT NONE OF YOUR
ADVERSARIES WILL BE ABLE TO RESIST OR CONTRADICT." Luke 21:15)))
God revealed another revelation to me today...
"the Knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven has been given to you,but not to them.
WHOEVER HAS WILL BE GIVEN MORE, AND HE WILL HAVE AN ABUNDANCE.
WHOEVER DOES NOT HAVE, EVEN WHAT HE HAS WILL BE TAKEN WAY FROM HIM.
This is why i speak in parables
"though seeing, they do not see,
though hearing,they do not hear or understand." Matthew 13:11-13
From the above verses we can infer that We should thank God every moment...for he has given
the revelation of his Son
to be glorified in our life and is inspiring us to live a life for him.
And he reveal many secrets of the Kingdom of heaven (There are two kingdoms- Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God ..if interested Ask God on these)
So he is saying whoever has got this revelation and will wait upon the Lord
ONLY TO HIM WILL HE REVEAL MORE AND MORE AND FILL HIM UP WITH ABUNDANCE.
AND FOR THOSE WHO IN THEIR FOOLISHNESS...Give up or take for granted and do not seek for
further revelation but instead bents on rebellion then God is saying that
Even what he has will be taken away that is the Revelation of his grace in their life and without God's grace life is good as death.
In proverbs it is written..An Evil man bent on rebellion then a merciless official will be sent against him.
***********************So if DON'T CALL UPON GOD AND SEEK HIM...DO YOU THINK YOU CAN LIVE PEACEFULLY.
WHEN WE DON'T CALL UPON GOD AND TRY TO GET DIVERTED..THEN ITS LIKE WE ARE GIVING DEVIL THE PERMISSION TO TEAR APART OUR LIVES.\
AND DEVIL IS NOT A FOOL TO LET GO OF THAT CHANCE.********************
AND I HAVE PERSONALLY OBSERVED IN MY LIFE THAT WHENEVER I SINNED...THE DEVIL TOOK THE CHANCE
NOT ONLY TO HURT ME...PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AS WE LOST FROM THE GRACE..
BUT IT ALSO ATTACKED MY FAMILY MEMBERS....
WHEN WE SIN...DEVIL WILL TAKE IT AS A KEY TO DESTROY NOT ONLY UR LIFE BUT THE LIVES OF THOSE
YOU HOLD DEAR!!!!!!!!
SO Friends...Keep in mind, at any time when it crosses ur mind to sin against the Lord..
Be assured that the devil will take it as an opportunity and inflict maximum damage.
Suppose if a group of terrorists were given the chnace to kill the president
and the president's own guards have planned this conspiracy...
Do u think when those terrorists will have clean shot of taking the president...
WILL THEY TAKE IT FOR GRANTED>>>
THEY WILL TRY TO INFLICT MAXIMUM DAMAGE!!!! THEY WONT LET GO OFF THAT GOLDEN CHANCE!!!!!!
The above verse also talks about
Why God talks in parables....
That is
because The parables will sound as ordinary stories when u try to understand it with ur mind.
**************************God talks in parables because he wants to us to seek HIM FOR THE ANSWER, BE DESPERATE FOR HIS REVELATION AND

The Little Child
Matthew 18:1-4
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,
"Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2He called a little child and had him stand among them.
3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and
become like little children, you will never enter
the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself
like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
**************************************************************
*****************
The Little Child
*****************
Lets analyze this little child for this what God wants us to be
The Little child did these things:
1)He responded When called...
2)He stood when he was made to stand
3)Little children are humble as they know
that elders know more than they do and they blindly do things
we the elders tell them to do.
Are these qualities in us!!!!!
Do we respond when called are we busy in our own selfish worlds...
well all we hear is US....NOT GOD!!!
Do we stand when God is helping us to stand or are we trying to do so all by ourselves...ITS US AGAIN..
It doesn't take time to realize How selfish we have been....When God reveals us and corrects us!!!!!
He corrected me and He will correct you...the ones who hear and UNDERSTAND AND SUBMIT WILL REALLY LIVE!!!
See How God tells specifically about the words""CHANGE AND BECOME"
Unless you start to change you cannot "BECOME" WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO BE!!!
AND SEE HOW MUCH PARTICULARLY HE SAYS""""""""NEVER ENTER""""""""""""
THTS HOW MUCH IMPORTANCE GOD GIVES TO HUMBLING ONE'S SELF!!!!!
Lets ask of the Holy Spirit now to gives us that patience....Amen
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,
"Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2He called a little child and had him stand among them.
3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and
become like little children, you will never enter
the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself
like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
**************************************************************
*****************
The Little Child
*****************
Lets analyze this little child for this what God wants us to be
The Little child did these things:
1)He responded When called...
2)He stood when he was made to stand
3)Little children are humble as they know
that elders know more than they do and they blindly do things
we the elders tell them to do.
Are these qualities in us!!!!!
Do we respond when called are we busy in our own selfish worlds...
well all we hear is US....NOT GOD!!!
Do we stand when God is helping us to stand or are we trying to do so all by ourselves...ITS US AGAIN..
It doesn't take time to realize How selfish we have been....When God reveals us and corrects us!!!!!
He corrected me and He will correct you...the ones who hear and UNDERSTAND AND SUBMIT WILL REALLY LIVE!!!
See How God tells specifically about the words""CHANGE AND BECOME"
Unless you start to change you cannot "BECOME" WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO BE!!!
AND SEE HOW MUCH PARTICULARLY HE SAYS""""""""NEVER ENTER""""""""""""
THTS HOW MUCH IMPORTANCE GOD GIVES TO HUMBLING ONE'S SELF!!!!!
Lets ask of the Holy Spirit now to gives us that patience....Amen

One of my friend failed in exams and she was to repeat for the second time in college,
I knew the situation was really horrible..and i thought no matter what i could say will comfort!!
But the Holy Spirit spoke to me and helped me to remind myself of the story of the Gideon where he
just took 300 Israelite soldiers chosen by God and defeated a country which has enslaved them for the past seven years..
And then i told her on the phone that see the situation Gideon was in was an even more horrible state than you are now..
TRY TO IMAGINE THE SITUATION OF GOING TO WAR WHEN YOU CLEARLY KNOW THAT THE ENEMIES WERE OF THE RATIO...400:1 Israeli soldier.
Well that situation is more horrible than any situation u might have gone through in your life.
God gave them victory even though when they were so little......Imagine at such a huge ratio
even small kids of such high magnitude can kill a person.
So read the story of Gideon Judges 6-8 and you will see that WHEN GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE....YOURS IS THE VICTORY!!!!! NO BUTS!!!
Coz even if you are up against 100 of the strongest persons in the world coming against you at once...
Just trust in God....For he dint die without reason..He DIED SO THAT U MIGHT WIN!!!!!!!
My friend felt she was an outcast...as she was the only one who failed...it was a really pitiful situation
and this is what God told me to tell her...
"BUT I WILL RESTORE YOU TO HEALTH
AND HEAL YOUR WOUNDS
DECLARES THE LORD,
BECAUSE YOU ARE CALLED AN OUTCAST,
ZION FOR WHOM NO ONE CARES." Jeremiah 30:17
When people outcast you remember this!!!!

I ( The Lord God and Almighty)

that I would ( HE WOULD....tht means he is sure...but under what conditions..lets see)
give them this land.( You will see the future God has designed for you)
But you must((CONDITIONS))
be strong ((Strong in the Lord...Strong enough that u will crush any negative thoughts which take u away from God))
and brave (( Brave enough to do anything the Lord says inspite of not being able to see how God would work things out ))
about obeying the commands ( about listening and doing what the Lord says)
my servant Moses gave you.
If you follow his teachings exactly,(==> Not merely follow teachings BUT EXACTLY WHICH WOULD IMPLY WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND SOUL AND STRENGTH AND MIND)
you will be successful ( God is promising us success coz we are on the Behalf of the Lord now)

Speak about that book and study it day and night.( HOw much God wants us to be in his words...he wants us to swim in his love bcoz his word just screams out How much he loves)
Then you can be sure to obey what is written there.( Once we have soo much interaction with the Lord...We can obey as we will know the Lord's heart)
If you do this, you will be wise
((((((((((((( THis is the definition of wise in God's terms...whom God calls as the wise...as we can see in Joshua's case)
18So the LORD said to Moses, “Joshua son of
Nun is very wise.cNUMBERS 27:18
27:18 Joshua … is very wise Literally, “Take Joshua
son of Nun. He is a man with a spirit in him.” This
might mean that Joshua was very wise, or it might
mean that God’s Spirit was with him
So this means that Joshua did all these things which God commanded to do as to reading his word day and night) and so God himself called him not just wise but very wise...
Remember the times where you worked very hard to impress your boss...imagine trying to impress the heavenly boss of all things and that he would call you not just wise but very wise)))))))))))))

successful in everything you do. ( As Joshua was in the Lord....He gave him many victories)
Remember,(( Again a word of caution implies God knows what we are weak in and Gives special importance by saying words like "Remember")
I commanded you to be strong and brave.
Don’t be afraid, because the LORD your God
will be with you wherever you go.”
((( God said this again because...Joshua was leading an army which was filled with amateurs..
and they were fighting against people with fortified cities like jericho
who had more experience in fighting as well as better equipment...so God is cautioning
Joshua...NOT AND NOT AGAIN TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION BUT LOOK AT THE LORD WHO DELIVERSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!)

God helps me to control my anger
Once a friend of mine has posted a vulgar scrap regarding in my orkut taking the name of the Lord....
I was filled so much anger that i wanted to curse him saying"""I will pray that he will ruined""" and all
sorts of negative and anger filled notions filled my brain.
But i just prayed in that anger and told Lord help me to take the right action as iam urs and help
me to behave in a way that glorifies u...the moment i said this...and opened my eyes...
My eyes exactly fell on the words "KEEP YOUR PATIENCE" which was a part of a scrap someone wrote to him
on his scrapbook on orkut.
So we can see that when we ask he will surely answer!!!!!!!

You dint CHOOSE ME BUT I CHOSE YOU
There are times when we just get soo much worldly with worldly thinking that even though
we knew God and about his Love,BUT because of our worldly influence or indulgence
we loose the understanding of the amazing Love of God we previously knew about.
And we dont even realize that we lost it!!!
Until u just understand that if u knew the Love of God YOU WOULDN'T LOVE THE WORLD OR ANYTHING IN IT.
These days i got so much worldly....... thinking that
i asked God that i cannot be his son coz im unable to keep myself from sinning!!!
And i told that God...Please leave me!!! I cant be ur son!!
And i stubbornly just tried to forgot everything about God
and do things which i wanted to do without restrictions..
Because when we want to live a worldly life with worldly thinking
we cannot do so when we know that God does not accept it...
So we feel like detaching ourselves away from the Lord
so that we can do those things...
For this either.....we blindly ignore what God wants to say!!!
we just keep indulging in more and more worldly things that we can always
see away from God and not towards God!!
But then God suddenly told Me this!!!!!!!
God said
"""""" WAIT A MINUTE!!! Did you say YOU are going to leave me?????
Its Kind of funny bcoz Well you are acting like ****U CHOSE ME*****
Well for ur information son, it was Not you who chose me but I CHOSE U,
And when i choose something...It is mine...irrespective of whether it likes or not!!!
You have to realize that its not an option for you to leave me.
And u will always be mine....u is my slave...
I will do with as i please to do..my slave should do things i want him to do...
The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and
********** they that dwell therein**************
Psalms 24:1 (KJV)
((((((((((God gave me this verse as i accidently clicked over the TDjakes website
where God lead me to a post to which this verse was the heading.)))))
WE ARE HIS AND WE HAVE NO IDENTITY ON OUR OWN!!!!
Suppose there is a tree which is the OLDEST TREE IN THE WORLD!!!!!
And suppose there is a small branch which is a part of it...
It has the glory as long it is the part of the tree once it
is cut off...it will wear off into oblivion.
I want you to serve my interests...Not your own selfish interests!!!!!!
YOU DONT HAVE AN OPTION TO GO AFTER YOUR OWN INTERESTS!!!! U ARE UNDER ME!
For those who Love me...I will give them power to reign with as sons of the All Powerful ME!!!
And for those who dont do as i please...I want to make them remember im also the Chief of the heavenly armies...
with a sword in my hand!!!!!
((((((((((((((((For this refer to Joshua 5:13-14
Joshua 5:13-14
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes
and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn
in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for
our adversaries?
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come.
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him,
What saith my Lord unto his servant?
***************************************************************************
The Man’s Identity
Verse 14 will tell us that this man came as the “captain of the hosts of the Lord,”
the commander of the Lord’s army. Joshua’s response in verse 14b and the statement
of the captain in verse 15 show this was a theophany, or better, based on the truth
of John 1:1-18, it was a Christophany. A Christophany is a manifestation of the
preincarnate Christ, who, as the Logos, is the one who reveals God. If only a man
or an angel, he would certainly have repelled Joshua’s worshipful response (vs. 14).
Compare the response of Paul in Acts 14:8-20 to those who wanted to make them into
gods and the response of the angel to John in Revelation 19:10.
Here then, the preincarnate Christ appears to Joshua to teach, guard,
and reinforce certain vital truths for God’s people and especially for those
in positions of leadership, which really includes all believers to some degree.
The Angel of the Lord
Joshua stands before Jericho; he is filled with his private doubts, fears, worries,
and concerns. He looks up and sees a man who identifies himself as "commander of the
army of the LORD" (vs 14).
Who is this man, this commander? It is immediately evident he is no mere man. Before
him Joshua falls "facedown to the ground in reverence" and calls him "my Lord" (vs 14).
Who is this man, this commander? His identification becomes positive when he tells
Joshua, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy" (vs 15).
This reminds us of the time the Lord spoke to Moses out of the burning bush (Ex 3).
Like Joshua, Moses was commanded to take off his shoes because he was standing on
holy ground. In the Old Testament holiness always has its basis and origin in God.
So, that is no mere man standing in front of Joshua. Rather, he is the
Angel of the Lord.
The Angel of the Lord. It is he who twice gave aid and encouragement to Hagar,
Sarah's slave girl, in her distress in the wilderness (Gen 16:7ff; 21:17).
It is he who appeared to Abraham and promised that Sarah would have a son
"this time next year" (Gen 18:10).
It is he who stopped Abraham's knife from killing Isaac on Mount Moriah (Gen 22:12ff).
It is he who wrestled with Jacob (Gen 32:24-30).
It is he who guided and guarded the Israelites in their exodus from Egypt (Ex 13:21,22; 14:19).
It is he who talked to Moses on the wilderness journey, and delivered to him
the Ten Commandments (Ex 19,20).
It is he who blocked the road for Balaam and terrified his donkey (Num 22:22).
The Angel of the Lord. Most Bible scholars agree that he is a visible presence
of Jesus before Jesus took on flesh. This is confirmed when Joshua 6:2 identifies
the man speaking to Joshua not as the "commander of the LORD'S army" anymore but
as the LORD Himself. So, it is the Lord Himself Who stands before Joshua.)))))))))))))))))))))
And i hope u can atleast try to understand what if the person who is powerful enough to create everything
which u ever saw and u dint see was holding a sword!!!!!!
I can blot u out for eternity...without any regrets.
But...............SON..................U are My Son!!!!
U will always be, Why dont u wake up dear...and come back to papa...
For You wont be COMPLETE WITHOUT ME, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
U will feel alive only with me.....Everything else is just DEATH!!
I want u to be in my arms...
Dont let me ur own father to put you to misery with my own hands.
For i have created you with a purpose that is JUST TO BE WITH ME!!!!!
For u will be alive with me....come to me and i will put you on my shoulders
and put ur head to my chest and help you have peace!!!!!!!!!!"""""
Well friends...I dont think we can speak anything else after God talks to us like this!!!!!!
Now just concentrate on his Holiness and He will talk with you.
Friends...Just i completed writing this...God led me to this song in
my computer which i had but never listened to it, but suddenly the of
all the songs in that folder i somehow played this song...
Im just speechless....i was running away from Him...But first he talked to me...
And he asked me "Why Do u Run"....where God is asking us why are we running....
I even more speechless coz just yesterday i gave up God and told him to leave me
and behaved so horribly and did everything what i liked!!
Without even caring whether he was there itself!!!!!!
Oh dear God!!!!
Why are u loving me soooooo much!!!!!!
iam just a worm,but u are choosing to care for a fool like me!!!!!
Its a song by KUTLESS called "RUN"
*******************************************************
Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you.
Looking down from above as you watch TV
Wondering why, oh you're ignoring me
Do you remember, remember when I came to you
And you loved me
And I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you
Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you, to be with you
Hey, why do you run why do you hide oh do't you know
I just, just want to be with you, to be with you...
Whatever happened to the love, the love you had for me
When you first came to me
Don't you know that I died, died so I could be with
you forever.
And I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you
Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you, to be with you
Hey, why do you run why do you hid oh don't you know
I just, just want to be with you, to be with you...
Find a place of solitude, and I'll speak to you
As you pray to me
Don't you know I'm waiting here, waiting for you to
read and hear my words
I'm waiting here missing the time the times we shared
oh, please come to me
So, why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you, to be with you ..

Well friends...I dont think we can speak anything else after God talks to us like this!!!!!!
Now just concentrate on his Holiness and He will talk with you.
Friends...Just i completed writing this...God led me to this song in
my computer which i had but never listened to it, but suddenly the of
all the songs in that folder i somehow played this song...
Im just speechless....i was running away from Him...But first he talked to me...
And he asked me "Why Do u Run"....where God is asking us why are we running....
I even more speechless coz just yesterday i gave up God and told him to leave me
and behaved so horribly and did everything what i liked!!
Without even caring whether he was there itself!!!!!!
Oh dear God!!!!
Why are u loving me soooooo much!!!!!!
iam just a worm,but u are choosing to care for a fool like me!!!!!
Its a song by KUTLESS called "RUN"
*******************************************************
Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you.
Looking down from above as you watch TV
Wondering why, oh you're ignoring me
Do you remember, remember when I came to you
And you loved me
And I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you
Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you, to be with you
Hey, why do you run why do you hide oh do't you know
I just, just want to be with you, to be with you...
Whatever happened to the love, the love you had for me
When you first came to me
Don't you know that I died, died so I could be with
you forever.
And I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you
Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you, to be with you
Hey, why do you run why do you hid oh don't you know
I just, just want to be with you, to be with you...
Find a place of solitude, and I'll speak to you
As you pray to me
Don't you know I'm waiting here, waiting for you to
read and hear my words
I'm waiting here missing the time the times we shared
oh, please come to me
So, why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I
just, just want to be with you, to be with you ..

Yearning and Longing
My soul years for you in the night,
In the morning my spirit longs for you. Isaiah 26:9
For those who are interacting with God on a momentary basis that is every other minute
So for such people as Isaiah we can see that HIS SOUL """"""""""""YEARNS"""""""""""" FOR GOD IN THE NIGHT..
referring to the amazing things God has been telling him since morning and he is wants more
But when we sleep we stop talking to God..though sometimes God also speaks to us when we are asleep,
but in this case we can see he """""LONGS"""""""" for God as he dint talk to God all the time he has been sleeping.
Thank God for this wonderful revelation!!!

God Promised a place of abundance
As i still dint get a second round company(companies which offer pay of 4-5.5 lakhs per annum).....
and though i got opportunities to get to final in one that is opera...
i missed it bcoz of my unfaithfulness
and God promised me many times tht he will give me a good company..
but after i got those promises...i sinned again and so i thought may be i lost the
promises too...I thought the promises wont hold anymore coz God gave me an option
but bcoz of my sin it wont be valid anymore...
And so God gave me this as i was thinking abt this...
Below is what God talked to me as i was worried!!!!
************************************************************************
A Place of Abundance
Today's Scripture
…We went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance (Psalm 66:12 NIV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Everyone has times in life when they feel like they are going
through the fire or perhaps feel overwhelmed with everyday life.
If that’s you today, understand that God is going to bring you
through those challenges; He’s going to bring you through the fire
and the flood into a place of abundance. We serve a God of more than enough,
and His heart is to always make sure you have whatever
you need to be successful in every area of your life.
The Bible says that Jesus came so that we can have life—abundant life!
He wants you to have an abundance of resources, an abundance of wisdom,
an abundance of peace—everything you need. Open your heart and thank Him
for His goodness. Begin to receive His promises by faith. Remember,
your praise opens the door for Him to move on your behalf,
and He wants to take you to a place of abundance in every area of your life!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, I humbly come to You today, giving You all that I am.
Thank You for leading and guiding me into a place of abundance.
I give You all the glory and praise. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
***********************************************************************************
As you can see above God took me through fire and water implies trials and temptations..
But he said he will bring me to a place of abundance!!!! Isnt it beautiful How God cared
inspite of our unfaithfulness at times...
As u can see that the message exactly talks about
ABUNDANCE OF RESOURCES,(through the company i will be getting placed)
ABUNDANCE OF WISDOM,( for the job interviews which i will have to attend
ABUNDANCE OF PEACE( for the Tension which people feel during placements)
Thank you God for talking to me...and for whoever is reading this ill pray amd thanq for you are going to talk to them
and help them see tht u talk to them...just like u did to me!!!
So i learn tht WE MUST BELIEVE TO """""""""RECEIVE THINGS NOW"""""""""""" WHICH WE MAY ACTUALLY """""""RECEIVE LATER"" BY FAITH!!!!!
Thanq for the abundant life you promised Jesus...
Help me to live an abundant life just for you father...
ABUNDANT IN LOVE FOR YOU
ABUNDANT IN SEEKING YOU
ABUNDANT IN FOLLOWING YOU
ABUNDANT IN SEEING YOU IN MY DAILY LIFE
ABUNDANT IN HEARING YOU IN MY DAILY LIFE

Sound and MInd
This is an interesting observation the Holy Spirit helped me to make!!!
Just try to hear all sounds around you....and then you can see that you can hear many sounds around you...
But when u think about something else deeply...even though u can hear so many sounds...
Your mind wont concentrate on all and it would be like u are not hearing itself!!!!
its like a noise filter...the mind has a great capability of choosing what to concentrate when it hears..
For example u might hear the continuous sound of the fan on your head
only the moment im talking abt fan..but when u were reading just this message with your even little concentration,
you might have not noticed that!!
Just like the continuous sound of crickets in the night...you can hear only when u remember abt hearing tht sound..
If you are deeply concentrated about something elsee...you might not even realize that!!!
Just imagine...If you are mind continuously processes all sounds you hear at all times....Im sure u would get irritated!!!!!!
But our mind has the capability and great understanding as to what to filter and what to not and WHEN TO FILTER AND WHEN TO NOT!!

Belief and Righteousness
Belief and Righteousness( Actually i copied the beside line by mistake here but intended to copy it into the "Title" block which is above.Now i understood why God made me do that..coz the Heading of the posting was this and not the one below
"The GREAT VISION OF THE FUTURE GOD GAVE TO ABRAM" which was heading of verse study from Genesis 15:6-21 which actually talks abt the GREAT VISION OF THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL...THis entire event is nothing at all...and doesnt make any difference...but many things which i accidently do like clicking something i dint intend to click..through such experiences many times God talked to me...So i praise God for being with me...hehe another amazing thing happened just now......
i had to correct a spelling of the word "expeirence" i wrongly typed and i went to correct it but when i deleted and added the letters...just now my hand slipped but again it correctly edited the word to the correct spelling..i dint intend to do that with my hand even my hand slipped and it STILL did the right thingg i intended it too, it was not coincidence, but God is teaching me something through this...lets see what!!!
Hey just through this GOD TAUGHT ME SOMETHING JUST NOW!!!!!!!! THAT EVEN WHEN WE DO MISTAKES,God doesnt let us make tht mistake but he turns tht mistake into """HIS"" RIGHT INTENDED ACTION "when we cry to help us to be in him ...can you see the beauty of the things God revealed to me just now!!!!!! IT was sooo small but i decided to write down even though initially i felt what is the point of writing about small things like that..but GOD TEACHES WHEN WE SEEK HIM AND NOT BE LAZY..
I dint intend to write all this...INFACT EVERYTHING IN THIS BRACKET I HAVE WRITTEN WHILE POSTING THIS ON THE BLOG..THE REST PART which u find below I HAVE ACTUALLLY WRITTEN IT IN A NOTEPAD ON MY COMPUTER AND DIRECTLY COPIED IT HERE....SO AS I WAS FINALLY POSTING>>> GOD TAUGHT ME THROUGH SMALL THINGS AS U HAVE SEEN>>> IF I DINT MAKE MYSELF CLEAR ANNYWHERE LET ME KNOW!!!!)
The GREAT VISION OF THE FUTURE GOD GAVE TO ABRAM
Genesis 15:1-6
After all these things happened, the
word of the LORD came to Abram
in a vision.*
God said, “Abram, don’t be afraid. I will defend you and give you a great reward.”
************ Wow!!!!!!!!! isnt the above line beautiful
FOR it was the King of HEAVENS TALKING TO US AND TALKING TO US ALL
THESE WONDERFUL THINGS!!!!
***********************************************
********* You can tell God about ur deepest desire...LITERALLY TALK TO HIM...GOD LOVES TO TALK TO YOU...
HEAR THE WORDS...."DAD" come out of your mouth!!!!!!!
2But Abram said, “LORD God, there is nothing
you can give me that will make me happy,
because I have no son. My slave Eliezer from
Damascus will get everything I own after I
die.” 3Abram said, “You have given me no
son, so a slave born in my house will get
everything I have.”
********AND AS U CAN SEE WHEN ABRAM ASKED, GO GAVE AN ANSWER!!!!!!!! He will also give to you....
4Then the LORD spoke to Abram and said,
“That slave will not be the one to get what
you have. You will have a son who will get
everything you own.”
********** TRY TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF THE VERSE BELOW....ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO REVEAL TO YOU>>>>
5 He took him outside and said "Look up at the heavens and count the stars-if indeed you can count them."
Then he said to them, "So shall your offspring be."************** The Lord of heavens took him outside and showed him his power himself....
God is has been doing that same thing in our lives...ask the Holy Spirit to give us eyes to see such things happening!!!!!!!
6Abram believed the LORD,************ This line is a GREAT STATEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God made many promises in our lives...ARE YOU WILLING TO BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL MAKE IT COME TO PASS!!!!!!!!!
ABRAM BELIEVED BUT HE DINT SEE THAT HAPPENING IN HIS LIFE>>>> BUT YET HE BELIEVED!!!!!!
Refer to Hebrews 11th chapter and you will read about this FAITH!!!!!!!************************
and he credited to him as righteousness.
((bcoz of this faith the Lord accepted him as one who has done what is right.))

The Rise and Fall of Gideon
The Rise and fall of Gideon(Judges 6-8)
Ive started to write this after i stopped playing NFS Most wanted a car game on the computer
which God told me to stop playing!!!
I actually asked him God do u want me to play this game any further...
And as i just looked down...beside my keyboard was my toothpaste and he made my eyes look on
directly this"""""""""CLOSE UP"""""""""
Then i stopped playing started writing this!!!!!!!!!!
And below is an INTERESTING story of "300" you might have heard or seen this movie...
where just 300 soldiers stand against the strongest armies of tht time...
(((IAM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD SEE THT FILM....SEEING SUCH FILMS IS PATHETIC AS IT IS OR ANY FILM WHOSE PURPOSE IS NOT TO GLORIFY GOD!!!))
But it was funny to see tht we have the Biblical version of "300".
Read below to know about the biblical version of 300.
Chapter 6
1Again the Israelites did what the LORD
said was wrong. So for seven years the
LORD allowed the Midianites to defeat the
Israelites.
((( If you see the phrase "AGAIN"...if we see in our own lives...
God can say the same about us many times in our life
as we sin even after coming to understand his Love but
forgoing it for our selfish desires.
In this case as you can see the punishment was about 7 years without GOD!!!
Do u think we can ever bear that in our life with the kind of world we are
living today...
If God were to give us the same kind of punishment for going to sin
WE WOULD BE RIPPED APART BY THE DEVIL WHO WOULDNT LET GO OF ANY CHANCE!!!
Praise God and Lord Jesus bcoz of their dispensation of grace this era
in which we live like never before.)))
The Midianites were very powerful ((COZ GOD Gave them power over the Israel only bcoz of Israel's Unfaithfulness))
and were cruel to the Israelites. So the Israelites made many hiding places in the mountains.
They hid their food in caves and places that were hard to find. 3They did that because
the Midianites and Amalekites from the east always came and destroyed their crops. 4They
camped in the land and destroyed the crops that the Israelites had planted. They ruined
the crops of the Israelites as far as the land near the city of Gaza. They did not leave
anything for the Israelites to eat. They did not even leave them any sheep, cattle, or
donkeys. 5The Midianites came with their families, animals, and tents. They were like
a swarm of locusts*! They and their camels were too many to count. They came into the
land and ruined it. 6The Israelites became very poor because of the Midianites. So the
Israelites cried to the LORD for help.The Midianites did all these bad things,
so the Israelites cried to the LORD for help.
(( WE CAN SEE ABOVE HOW THE MIDIANITES TREATED ISRAELITES...But Below we see a wonderful thing)
The LORD sent a prophet to them.
(( THE LORD DID NOT GIVE UP INSOITE OF ISRAEL's FAITHLESSNESS...HE Still talk ed to them...
In the same way HE WONT EVER GIVE YOU UP!!!!
So if the Lord of all the Heaven and earth can spare time for you and think that you can get out of ur Problems...addictions...
Who are you to feel that you cannot....Let not the devil mask you
Do not underestimate the power of God which called you to HIM....
He can EVEN GET YOU OUT OF UR MISERIES GIVE YOU A CHANGED HEART WHICH BEATS ONLY FOR HIM!!!!!!
ALL U HAVE TO DO IS ASK OF HIM AND SEEK HIM AND BEG HIM!!!!!!!!!)))))
He said,
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
‘You were slaves in the land of Egypt. I made
you free and brought you out of that land. 9I
saved you from the powerful Egyptians. Then
the Canaanites hurt you,
************so I saved you again.**************
I made them leave their land. And I gave their
land to you.’ 10Then I said to you, ‘I am the
LORD your God. You will live in the land of
the Amorites, but you must not worship their
false gods.’ But you did not obey me.”
(( We have a God who talks to fools like us....Cant u see how the KING OF HEAVEN IS REASONING WITH US!!!!
SHould a king a reson about anything at all...why should he care!!!!!!!!
He is TALKING TO US!!!!!!!!!!!! Try to see that it is a huge thing...
If you feel guilty of your mistakes....remember that Our God will as promised give you an undivided heart
WHICH IS MODELED AFTER SEEKING GOD ....when u seek for him!!!!!!!
SEEK HIM ONLY
SEEK HIM TOTALLY
SEEK HIM FULLY
SEEK HIM FAITHFULLY
SEEK HIM LIKE HE IS ALL UVE GOT
SEEK HIM LIKE HE IS EVERYTHING FOR YOU...(not your family, friends, or
anything of life which u feel to seek, Not ur Job , not ur studies,
SEEK HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ALL U NEED FOR A FAITHFUL AND ABUNDANT LIFE IN GOD!!!)))))))))
12At that time the angel of the LORD came to a man named Gideon.
The angel of the LORD came and sat down under an oak
tree at a place called Ophrah. This oak tree
belonged to a man named Joash. Joash was
from the Abiezer family. He was the father of
Gideon. Gideon was beating some wheat in
a winepress.* He was hiding so that the Midianites
could not see the wheat.
The angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and sat down next to him.
(((( It happens even today...as God tlaks to each and everyone of us every single day...Provided u are interested and seeking to hear him and to you are desperate to talk to him!!!
The angel greeted him, saying,
“The LORD be with you, brave soldier.”((((((( The words of the angel are of the Lord...GOd called him BRAVE..God looks at us in a different way than we think....coz HE KNOWS OUR TRUE UNSEEN POTENTIAL!!!!!!!
13Then Gideon said, “Pardon me, sir, but
if the LORD is with us, why are we having so
many troubles? We heard that he did wonderful
things for our ancestors.* They tell us
the LORD took them out of Egypt. But now it
seems he has left us and is letting the Midianites
defeat us.”
14The LORD turned toward Gideon and said,
“Then use your great power and go save the
Israelites from the Midianites. I am sending
you to save them.”
15But Gideon answered and said, “Pardon
me, sir.c How can I save Israel? My family
group is the weakest in the tribe of Manasseh,
and I am the youngest one in my family.”
((((((((((((((((((((( God looks at us in a different WAY!!!!!!!!! He saw that he had Great power and
that that power enough to bring down an entire nation which was opressing Israel....
we will see what ******Great Power******* God is referring to!!!!)))
16The LORD answered Gideon and said,
“I will be with you, so you can defeat the
Midianites as easily as if they were only one
man.”
(((((THIS IS THE GREAT POWER GOD HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT...The power is "I WILL BE WITH YOU!!"
Because the Strongest force to exist is behind us....God is telling how easily it would be for him
to ACCOMPLISH THINGS WHEN GOD IS ON HIS SIDE!!!!!)))
17Then Gideon said to him, “If you would,
please give me some proof that you really are
the LORD. 18Please wait here. Don’t go away
until I come back to you. Let me bring my
offering and set it down in front of you.”
And the LORD said, “I will wait until you
come back.”
19So Gideon went in and cooked a young
goat in boiling water. He also took about 20
poundsd of flour and made bread without
yeast. Then he put the meat into a basket
and the broth from the meat into a pot. He
brought out the meat, the broth, and the
bread without yeast and gave them to the
LORD under the oak tree.
20The angel of God said to Gideon, “Put the
meat and the bread on that rock over there.
Then pour the broth on it.” Gideon did as he
was told.
21The angel of the LORD had a walking
stick in his hand. He touched the meat and
the bread with the end of the stick, and fire
jumped up out of the rock and burned up the
meat and the bread. Then the angel of the
LORD disappeared.
22Then Gideon realized that he had been
talking to the angel of the LORD.
(((((((((((Sometimes we realize just like this....After the god's prescence leaves us then only we will understand WE were with God all this time..."""))
So he shouted,
“Oh, Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the
LORD face to face!”
(( AS i was listening to the song..."Lord How Lovely you are to me...Lovely Lord"..
There came a point when the song lyrics...said "IM LONGING TO SEE U ONE DAY FACE TO FACE AND TO BE WITH YOU ENDLESSLY"""
It was that exact point of time that God made me look at this line which i stopped writing..and as u can see i
stopped writing exactly at the verse of "I HAVE SEEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD FACE TO FACE""
God longs to make himself known to us...Bcoz After all we are his sons...and
any father would love to tell his son of the great heritage and legacy tht his son is part of
and tht is that WE ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION!!! A GENERATION THAT SEEKS THE LORD!!)))
23But the LORD said to Gideon, “Calm
down!a Don’t be afraid! You will not die!”
24So Gideon built an altar* there to worship
the LORD and named it “The LORD is Peace.”
It still stands in the city of Ophrah, where the
Abiezer family lives.(((((( AS you can see that GIDEON MADE A REMINDER TO HIMSELF THAT
THERE WAS A POINT WHEN GOD TALKED TO HIM!!!!
So u too friends...when God talkt to you in some way or the other...
MAKE SURE U WRITE IT SOMEWHERE AS A REMEMBERANCE TO BLESS YOU AND THOSE WHO
READ IT THAT GOD TALKS TO HIS CHILDREN THT HE CARES>>THT HE LOVES...
25That same night the LORD spoke to Gideon and said, “Take the full-grown bull
that belongs to your father, the one that is seven years old. Your father has an altar*
to the false god Baal.* Also beside the altar a wooden pole was made to honor the false
goddess Asherah.* 26Then build the right kind of altar for the LORD your God. Build it on this
high ground. Then kill and burn the fullgrown bull on the altar. Use the wood from
the Asherah pole to burn your offering.”
((((( ISnt God telling you to BREAK SOME STRONGHOLD IN YOUR LIFE WHICH IS KEEPING YOU AWAY FROM HIM...
SOME IDOL IN YOUR LIFE...
Some Stuff in ur computer...
Some person or set of persons God told you to be away from!!!
Something in your surroundings also God told you remove!!!
Listen to God and DO what he says...DO NOT FEAR WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK...WHAT THIS X or THAT Y THINKS ABOUT YOUR DOING
Whether they will be hurting them or anything...Keep in mind
NEVER COMPROMISE AND HURT GOD!!!
There will be situations where you have to hurt your friends for God but U SHOULD NOT COMPROMISE
Ill give you an example...If you and ur group of your friends have gone outside to have fun...
and suddenly they all thought of going to a bad movie...
and if they force you saying that for their sake and stuff like that....
U HAVE TO DENY IT ANY COST>>>
Coz NEVER HURT THE LORD FOR UR STUPID FRIENDS>...EVEN IF THEY THREATEN TO NEVER TO TALK TO YOU!!!
KEEP IN MIND GOD CAN GIVE YOU BETTER FRIENDS THAN THEY ....WHO WOULD EVEN DIE FOR YOU!!
GOd did!!! HE gave us Jesus as a friend...Who died for his friends...that is poeple like us!!!
JUST KEEP IN MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
27So Gideon took ten of his servants and
did what the LORD had told him to do. But
Gideon was afraid that his family and the men
of the city might see what he was doing, so he
did what the LORD told him to do at night, not
in the daytime.(((((((((( AS you can see you can take help...may to get down some stronghold of your life or pray for deliverance
you can ask your friends to sit and pray with you for that cause and God will manifest his glory through us and give us deliverance!!!
28The men of the city got up the next morning
and saw that the altar for Baal had been
destroyed! They also saw that the Asherah
pole* had been cut down. It had been sitting
next to the altar for Baal. They also saw the
altar* that Gideon had built. And they saw the
bull that had been sacrificed on that altar.
29The men of the city looked at each other
and asked, “Who pulled down our altar? Who
cut down our Asherah pole? Who sacrificed
this bull on this new altar?” They asked many
questions and tried to learn who did this.
Someone told them, “Gideon son of Joash
did this.”
30So the men of the city came to Joash and
said, “You must bring your son out. He pulled
down the altar for Baal, and he cut down the
Asherah pole that was beside it. So your son
must die.”
31Then Joash spoke to the crowd that was
standing around him. Joash said, “Are you
going to take Baal’s side? Are you going to
rescue Baal? If anyone takes Baal’s side, let
him be put to death by morning. If Baal really
is a god, let him defend himself when someone
pulls down his altar.” 32Joash said, “If
Gideon pulled Baal’s altar down, let Baal argue
with him.” On that day Joash gave Gideon a
new name. He called him Jerub Baal
((((((( AS YOU CAN THE PEOPLE COULDNT DO ANYTHING!!!!!!! GIDEON COULDNT HAVE IMAGINED THIS SITUATION THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO GET AWAY AFTER DOING THAT!!!
BUT THE LORD HELPED HIM OUT!!!
AS you can see God works in ways far more wonderful and simply beautiful for us humans to comprehend!!!))))
{{{{a 6:23 Calm down Literally, “Peace.”
{{{{b 6:23 You will not die Gideon thought he would die
{{{{because he had seen the LORD face to face.
{{{{c 6:32 Jerub Baal This is like the Hebrew words
{{{{meaning “Let Baal argue.” The same verb is translated
{{{{“take one’s side” and “defend” in verse 31.
33The Midianites, Amalekites, and other people from the east joined together to fight
against the Israelites. They went across the Jordan River and camped in the Jezreel Valley.
34The Spirit of the LORD filled Gideon.
(((((((((( AS YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS THE POWER OF GOD THAT FILLS U UP TO FIGHT THE EVIL ONE!!!!!!!!))))))))
So Gideon blew a trumpet to call the family of
Abiezer to follow him. 35He sent messengers
to all the people of the tribe of Manasseh and
told them to get their weapons and prepare
for battle. Gideon also sent messengers to the
tribes of Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali. The
messengers took the same message to them.
So they also went up to meet Gideon and his
men.
((((Gideon did some foolish things but God beared with him...its the same in our lives...
even though we say believe God is powerfull....
WE KEEP DOUBTING WHETHER GOD CAN DO SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE>....
ASK OF THE LORD TO FILL YOU UP WITH HIS SPIRIT!!! AND THEN HE WILL KEEP YOU FROM DOUBTING!!! By revealing his prescence every moment in ur life!!!)))))
36Then Gideon said to God, “You said that
you would help me save the Israelites. Give
me proof. 37I will put a sheepskin on the
threshing* floor. If there is dew only on the
sheepskin, while all the ground is dry, I will
know that you will use me to save Israel, as
you said.”
38And that is exactly what happened.
Gideon got up early the next morning and
squeezed the sheepskin. He was able to drain
a bowl full of water from it.
39Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be
angry with me. Let me ask just one more
thing. Let me test you one more time with
the sheepskin. This time let the sheepskin be
dry, while the ground around it gets wet with
dew.”
40That night God did that very thing. Just
the sheepskin was dry, but the ground around
it was wet with dew.
(((((( This is a small thing for the Lord...But God showed that He being King of Kings
is ready to do anything have us in him!!!!!!!!
This is really foolish from the view point of God...But yet he did Just as he died for us...
It was foolish thing to die for EVERYONE>....He died for everyone and not just for those who will get saved in the end...
So it implies he ven died for those people who never understand the Love of God all their lives!!!!!!))))
*******************************************300**************************************
1Early in the morning Jerub Baal (Gideon) and all his men set up their camp at the
spring of Harod. The Midianites were camped in the valley at the bottom of the hill called
Moreh, north of Gideon and his men.
2Then the LORD said to Gideon, “I am going
to help your men defeat the Midianites, but
you have too many men. I don’t want the
Israelites to forget me and brag that they
saved themselves. 3So make an announcement
to your men. Tell them, ‘Anyone who
is afraid may leave Mount Gilead and go back
home.’”(((((( God wants us to understand tht its all about HIM AND NONE OR NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!))
At that time 22,000 men left Gideon and
went back home, but 10,000 still remained.
4Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are
still too many men. Take the men down to the
water, and I will test them for you there. If I
say, ‘This man will go with you,’ he will go.
But if I say, ‘That one will not go with you,’
then he will not go.”
5So Gideon led the men down to the water.
There the LORD said to him, “Separate the
men like this: Those who drink the water by
using their tongue to lap it up like a dog will
be in one group. And those who bend down
to drink will be in the other group.”
6There were 300 men who used their
hands to bring water to their mouth and
lapped it like a dog does. All the other people
bent down and drank the water. 7The LORD
said to Gideon, “I will use the 300 men who
lapped the water like a dog. I will use them
to save you, and I will allow you to defeat the
Midianites. Let the other men go home.”
8So Gideon sent the other men of Israel
home. He kept the 300 men with him. Those
300 men kept the supplies and the trumpets
of the other men who went home.
************ YOU MIGHT SAY WHY WOULD GOD EVEN THAT 300 men to deafeat the armies of midianites ...cant he do with just one man or no man at all...
Well then keep in mind...if God does things tht way...people will take God for granted..
We are all his attention...He is doing everything for us...so that we will LEARN SOMETHING!!
The reason for choosing those 300 may be those people were the ones God delighted in...
And he wanted to bless each one of them to show what God can do through each one of them..
Its a blessing to be a chosen one to fight for the Lord...************
The Midianites were camped in the valley below Gideon’s camp.
************ Below is where the Lord talks to Gideonm when he was scared and worried about the war tomorrow!!!!!!
During the night the LORD spoke to Gideon and said, “Get up. I
will let you defeat the Midianite army. Go down to their camp.
*** God knows ur deepest feelings..he knew that Gideon dint have faith enough to go alone thts y he told also who take with him.
********************************************God always does things WITH RESPECT TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you are afraid to go alone, take your servant Purah with you.
Go into the camp of the Midianites. 11Listen to
what they are saying. After that you will not
be afraid to attack them.”
So Gideon and his servant Purah went
down to the edge of the enemy camp. 12The
Midianites, the Amalekites, and all the other
people from the east were camped in that
valley. There were so many people that they
seemed like a swarm of locusts.* It seemed
like they had as many camels as there are
grains of sand on the seashore.
13Gideon came to the enemy camp, and
he heard a man talking. That man was telling
his friend about a dream that he had. He was
saying, “I dreamed that a round loaf of bread
came rolling into the camp of the Midianites.
That loaf of bread hit the tent so hard that the
tent turned over and fell flat.”
14The man’s friend knew the meaning of
the dream. He said, “Your dream can only
have one meaning. Your dream is about
that man from Israel. It is about Gideon son
of Joash. It means that God will let Gideon
defeat the whole army of Midian.”
15After he heard the men talking about
the dream and what it meant, Gideon bowed
down to God. Then Gideon went back to the
camp of the Israelites and called out to the
people, “Get up! The LORD will help us defeat
the Midianites.” 16Then Gideon divided the
300 men into three groups. He gave each
man a trumpet and an empty jar with a burning
torch inside it.
(( I THINK SO AS TO NOT LET THE LIGHT BE SEEN TILL REQUIRED!!!!!!))))
17Then Gideon told the
men, “Watch me and do what I do. Follow me
to the edge of the enemy camp. When I get
to the edge of the camp, do exactly what I do.
18You men surround the enemy camp. I and
all the men with me will blow our trumpets.
When we blow our trumpets, you blow your
trumpets too. Then shout these words: ‘For
the LORD and for Gideon!’”
So Gideon and the 100 men with him
went to the edge of the enemy camp. They
came there just after the enemy changed
guards. It was during the middle watch of the
night. Gideon and his men blew their trumpets
and smashed their jars. 20Then all three
groups of Gideon’s men blew their trumpets
and smashed their jars. The men held the
torches in their left hands and the trumpets
in their right hands. As they blew their trumpets,
they shouted, “A sword for the LORD
and a sword for Gideon!”
21Gideon’s men stayed where they were.
But inside the camp, the men of Midian
began shouting and running away.
***********See in UNimaginable ways GOD WORKS....Below is the way tht you couldnt think will possibly ever happen but when you are with the Lord
u get to see uniaginable things happening!!!!!!!**************
When Gideon’s 300 men blew their trumpets, the
LORD caused the men of Midian to kill each
other with their swords.
************
The enemy army ran away to the city of Beth Shittah, which is
toward the city of Zererah. They ran as far as
the border of the city of Abel Meholah, which
is near the city of Tabbath.
23Then soldiers from the tribes of Naphtali,
Asher, and all of Manasseh were told to chase
the Midianites. 24Gideon sent messengers
through all the hill country of Ephraim. The
messengers said, “Come down and attack the
Midianites. Take control of the river as far
as Beth Barah and the Jordan River. Do this
before the Midianites get there.”
So they called all men from the tribe of
Ephraim. They took control of the river as far
as Beth Barah. 25The men of Ephraim caught
two of the Midianite leaders named Oreb and
Zeeb. They killed Oreb at a place named the
Rock of Oreb and Zeeb at a place named the
Winepress of Zeeb. They continued chasing
the Midianites, but first they cut off the
heads of Oreb and Zeeb and took the heads
to Gideon. Gideon was at the place where
people cross the Jordan River.
1The men of Ephraim were angry with
Gideon. When they found him, they
asked, “Why did you treat us this way? Why
didn’t you call us when you went to fight
against the Midianites?”
2But Gideon answered the men of Ephraim,
“I have not done as well as you. You people
of Ephraim have a much better harvest than
my family, the Abiezers. At harvest time you
leave more grapes in the vineyard* than my
family gathers! Isn’t that true? 3In the same
way you have a better harvest now. God
allowed you to capture Oreb and Zeeb, the
leaders of Midian. How can I compare my
success with what you did?” When the men
of Ephraim heard Gideon’s answer, they were
not as angry as they had been.
((((((((((( THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO SPEAK WHEN UR OWN PEOPLE SOMETIMES TURN AGAINST YOU!!!!
IT WAS A BATTLE SITUATION ..WHERE A SMALL MISUNDERSTANDING CAN LEAD TO WARS!!!!!)))))
4Then Gideon and his 300 men came to the Jordan River and went across to the
other side, but they were tired and hungry.Gideon said to the men of the city of Succoth,
“Give my soldiers something to eat. They are very tired. We are still chasing Zebah and Zalmunna,
kings of Midian.” 6But the leaders of the city of Succoth said
to Gideon, “Why should we give your soldiers something to eat? You haven’t caught Zebah
and Zalmunna yet.”
7Then Gideon said, “The LORD will help me capture Zebah and Zalmunna. And since you
would not give us any food, I will come back
and beat you with thorns and briers from the
desert.”
8Gideon left the city of Succoth and went
to the city of Penuel. He asked the men of
Penuel for food, just as he had asked the
men of Succoth. But the men of Penuel gave
Gideon the same answer that the men of Succoth
had given.
So Gideon said to the men of
Penuel, “After I win the victory, I will come
back here and pull this tower down.”
10Zebah and Zalmunna and their army
were in the city of Karkor.
***********AS U CAN SEE BELOW THERE WERE STILL 15000 enemies so at the ratio of 50:1 so there were 50 enemies for every single ISrael Soldier!!! actually the ratio was 400:1 before...WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT!!!
AT such a huge ratio.....Even if they are small kids...they can kill one man....********
Their army had 15,000 soldiers in it. These soldiers were
all who were left of the army of the people
of the east.
120,000 strong soldiers of that
army had already been killed. 11Gideon and
his men used Tent Dwellers’ Road, which is
east of the cities of Nobah and Jogbehah and
attacked the enemy at Karkor.The enemy army did not expect the attack.
(( AS YOU CAN SEE GOD HELPED THEM TO GET A SOLUTION TO SURPRISE THEIR ENEMY!!!
He will giv you wisdom and knowledge and ********************************WHICH ROAD TO TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He will help you to choose WHICH ROAD TO TAKE IN YOUR LIFE JUST AS GOD DIRECTED GIDEON!!!
Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of the Midianites, ran away.
But Gideon chased and caught them. Gideon
and his men defeated the enemy army.
13Then Gideon son of Joash returned from
the battle. He and his men returned by going
through a mountain pass called the Pass of
Heres. Gideon captured a young man from
the city of Succoth. He asked the young man
some questions. The young man wrote down
some names for Gideon. The young man
wrote down the names of the leaders and
elders of the city of Succoth. He gave Gideon
the names of 77 men.
15When Gideon came to the city of Succoth,
he said to the men of that city, “Here
are Zebah and Zalmunna. You made fun of me
by saying, ‘Why should we give food to your
tired soldiers? You have not caught Zebah and
Zalmunna yet.’” 16Gideon took the elders of
the city of Succoth and beat them with thorns
and briers from the desert to punish them.
17Gideon also pulled down the tower in the
city of Penuel and killed the men living in
that city.
18Then Gideon said to Zebah and Zalmunna,
“You killed some men on Mount Tabor. What
were the men like?”
Zebah and Zalmunna answered, “They
were like you. Each one of them seemed like
a prince.”
19Gideon said, “Those men were my brothers,
my mother’s sons! As the LORD lives, if
you had not killed them, I would not kill you
now.”
20Then Gideon turned to Jether, his oldest
son, and said, “Kill these kings.” But Jether
was only a boy and was afraid, so he would
not take out his sword.
21Then Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon,
“Come on, kill us yourself. You are a man and
strong enough to do the job.” So Gideon got
up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna. Then
Gideon took the decorations shaped like the
moon off their camels’ necks.
**************Gideon Makes an Ephod*****************
22The Israelites said to Gideon, “You saved
us from the Midianites. So now rule over us.
We want you, your son, and your grandson to
rule over us.”
23But Gideon told the Israelites, “The LORD
will be your ruler. I will not rule over you, and
my son will not rule over you.”
((((((((((( AS WE CAN SEE THAT THIS WAS A GREAT STATEMENT....
and we might think what a man Gideon was....
But sadly u will see how foolishly he says the next line...))))))
24Some of the people who the men of Israel
defeated were Ishmaelites. And the Ishmaelite
men wore gold earrings. So Gideon said
to the Israelites, “I want you to do this one
thing for me. I want each of you to give me a
gold earring from the things you took in the
battle.”
25The Israelites said to Gideon, “We will
gladly give you what you want.” So they put
a coat down on the ground, and each man
threw an earring onto the coat. 26When the
earrings were gathered up, they weighed
about 43 pounds. This did not include the
other gifts the Israelites gave to Gideon. They
also gave him jewelry shaped like the moon
and jewelry shaped like teardrops. And they
gave him purple robes. The kings of the Midianites
had worn these things. They also gave
him the chains from the camels of the Midianite
kings.
********Even after we have seen God took control of Gideon
and his men and helped them to do great things for the Lord...
They became foolsih in their hearts...
AS Gideon fell prey to richness...after getting through strongest oppositions..
********************
Gideon used the gold to make an ephod,
which he put in his hometown, the town
called Ophrah. All the Israelites worshiped
the ephod. In this way the Israelites were not
faithful to God—they worshiped the ephod.
The ephod became a trap that caused Gideon
and his family to sin.
****The Death of Gideon*********
28The Midianites were forced to be under
the rule of the Israelites. The Midianites did
not cause trouble anymore. And the land was
at peace for 40 years, as long as Gideon was
alive.
29Jerub Baal (Gideon) son of Joash went
home. 30Gideon had 70 sons of his own.
He had so many sons because he had many
wives. 31He had a slave woman* who lived in
the city of Shechem. He had a son by her. He
named that son Abimelech.
32So Gideon son of Joash died at a good old
age. He was buried in the tomb that Joash,
his father, owned. That tomb is in the city of
Ophrah, where the family of Abiezer lives.
As soon as Gideon died, the Israelites again
were not faithful to God—they followed
Baal.d They made Baal Berithe their god.
{{{ 8:26 43 pounds Literally, “1700 shekels” (19.55 kg).
{{{ 8:27 ephod This may have been a special vest
{{{ or coat like that worn by the high priest (see Ex.
{{{ 28:2-14), or it may have been a kind of idol.
{{{ 8:27 were not faithful … ephod Literally, “acted like
{{{a prostitute to it.”
{{{ 8:33 were not faithful … Baal Literally, “they acted
{{{like a prostitute to Baal.”
{{{ 8:33 Baal Berith A name that means “Lord of
{{{the Agreement.”
34The Israelites did not remember the LORD
their God, who had saved them from all their
enemies living around them. 35The Israelites
were not loyal to the family of Jerub Baal,
even though he had done many good things
for them.
**************************So IN THE END WE SEE THAT EVEN AFTER ALL THOSE MIRACLES>....THEY AGAIN BECAME CORRUPT!!!!
Does this ring similar to you....yes it is....bcoz we are nothing better than Israelites and even worse...
Bcoz even after reading revelations like these and God also helping us in many ways in our life...
We again doubt God...forget what God wants and pursue our selfish desires....
So lets pray that the Spirit of the Lord will help us to keep ourselves from sinning ...
and that our understanding of the Love of the lord will be renewed every single day
and help us to enjoy as if it was the last day to enjoy.
Ive started to write this after i stopped playing NFS Most wanted a car game on the computer
which God told me to stop playing!!!
I actually asked him God do u want me to play this game any further...
And as i just looked down...beside my keyboard was my toothpaste and he made my eyes look on
directly this"""""""""CLOSE UP"""""""""
Then i stopped playing started writing this!!!!!!!!!!
And below is an INTERESTING story of "300" you might have heard or seen this movie...
where just 300 soldiers stand against the strongest armies of tht time...
(((IAM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD SEE THT FILM....SEEING SUCH FILMS IS PATHETIC AS IT IS OR ANY FILM WHOSE PURPOSE IS NOT TO GLORIFY GOD!!!))
But it was funny to see tht we have the Biblical version of "300".
Read below to know about the biblical version of 300.
Chapter 6
1Again the Israelites did what the LORD
said was wrong. So for seven years the
LORD allowed the Midianites to defeat the
Israelites.
((( If you see the phrase "AGAIN"...if we see in our own lives...
God can say the same about us many times in our life
as we sin even after coming to understand his Love but
forgoing it for our selfish desires.
In this case as you can see the punishment was about 7 years without GOD!!!
Do u think we can ever bear that in our life with the kind of world we are
living today...
If God were to give us the same kind of punishment for going to sin
WE WOULD BE RIPPED APART BY THE DEVIL WHO WOULDNT LET GO OF ANY CHANCE!!!
Praise God and Lord Jesus bcoz of their dispensation of grace this era
in which we live like never before.)))
The Midianites were very powerful ((COZ GOD Gave them power over the Israel only bcoz of Israel's Unfaithfulness))
and were cruel to the Israelites. So the Israelites made many hiding places in the mountains.
They hid their food in caves and places that were hard to find. 3They did that because
the Midianites and Amalekites from the east always came and destroyed their crops. 4They
camped in the land and destroyed the crops that the Israelites had planted. They ruined
the crops of the Israelites as far as the land near the city of Gaza. They did not leave
anything for the Israelites to eat. They did not even leave them any sheep, cattle, or
donkeys. 5The Midianites came with their families, animals, and tents. They were like
a swarm of locusts*! They and their camels were too many to count. They came into the
land and ruined it. 6The Israelites became very poor because of the Midianites. So the
Israelites cried to the LORD for help.The Midianites did all these bad things,
so the Israelites cried to the LORD for help.
(( WE CAN SEE ABOVE HOW THE MIDIANITES TREATED ISRAELITES...But Below we see a wonderful thing)
The LORD sent a prophet to them.
(( THE LORD DID NOT GIVE UP INSOITE OF ISRAEL's FAITHLESSNESS...HE Still talk ed to them...
In the same way HE WONT EVER GIVE YOU UP!!!!
So if the Lord of all the Heaven and earth can spare time for you and think that you can get out of ur Problems...addictions...
Who are you to feel that you cannot....Let not the devil mask you
Do not underestimate the power of God which called you to HIM....
He can EVEN GET YOU OUT OF UR MISERIES GIVE YOU A CHANGED HEART WHICH BEATS ONLY FOR HIM!!!!!!
ALL U HAVE TO DO IS ASK OF HIM AND SEEK HIM AND BEG HIM!!!!!!!!!)))))
He said,
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
‘You were slaves in the land of Egypt. I made
you free and brought you out of that land. 9I
saved you from the powerful Egyptians. Then
the Canaanites hurt you,
************so I saved you again.**************
I made them leave their land. And I gave their
land to you.’ 10Then I said to you, ‘I am the
LORD your God. You will live in the land of
the Amorites, but you must not worship their
false gods.’ But you did not obey me.”
(( We have a God who talks to fools like us....Cant u see how the KING OF HEAVEN IS REASONING WITH US!!!!
SHould a king a reson about anything at all...why should he care!!!!!!!!
He is TALKING TO US!!!!!!!!!!!! Try to see that it is a huge thing...
If you feel guilty of your mistakes....remember that Our God will as promised give you an undivided heart
WHICH IS MODELED AFTER SEEKING GOD ....when u seek for him!!!!!!!
SEEK HIM ONLY
SEEK HIM TOTALLY
SEEK HIM FULLY
SEEK HIM FAITHFULLY
SEEK HIM LIKE HE IS ALL UVE GOT
SEEK HIM LIKE HE IS EVERYTHING FOR YOU...(not your family, friends, or
anything of life which u feel to seek, Not ur Job , not ur studies,
SEEK HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ALL U NEED FOR A FAITHFUL AND ABUNDANT LIFE IN GOD!!!)))))))))
12At that time the angel of the LORD came to a man named Gideon.
The angel of the LORD came and sat down under an oak
tree at a place called Ophrah. This oak tree
belonged to a man named Joash. Joash was
from the Abiezer family. He was the father of
Gideon. Gideon was beating some wheat in
a winepress.* He was hiding so that the Midianites
could not see the wheat.
The angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and sat down next to him.
(((( It happens even today...as God tlaks to each and everyone of us every single day...Provided u are interested and seeking to hear him and to you are desperate to talk to him!!!
The angel greeted him, saying,
“The LORD be with you, brave soldier.”((((((( The words of the angel are of the Lord...GOd called him BRAVE..God looks at us in a different way than we think....coz HE KNOWS OUR TRUE UNSEEN POTENTIAL!!!!!!!
13Then Gideon said, “Pardon me, sir, but
if the LORD is with us, why are we having so
many troubles? We heard that he did wonderful
things for our ancestors.* They tell us
the LORD took them out of Egypt. But now it
seems he has left us and is letting the Midianites
defeat us.”
14The LORD turned toward Gideon and said,
“Then use your great power and go save the
Israelites from the Midianites. I am sending
you to save them.”
15But Gideon answered and said, “Pardon
me, sir.c How can I save Israel? My family
group is the weakest in the tribe of Manasseh,
and I am the youngest one in my family.”
((((((((((((((((((((( God looks at us in a different WAY!!!!!!!!! He saw that he had Great power and
that that power enough to bring down an entire nation which was opressing Israel....
we will see what ******Great Power******* God is referring to!!!!)))
16The LORD answered Gideon and said,
“I will be with you, so you can defeat the
Midianites as easily as if they were only one
man.”
(((((THIS IS THE GREAT POWER GOD HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT...The power is "I WILL BE WITH YOU!!"
Because the Strongest force to exist is behind us....God is telling how easily it would be for him
to ACCOMPLISH THINGS WHEN GOD IS ON HIS SIDE!!!!!)))
17Then Gideon said to him, “If you would,
please give me some proof that you really are
the LORD. 18Please wait here. Don’t go away
until I come back to you. Let me bring my
offering and set it down in front of you.”
And the LORD said, “I will wait until you
come back.”
19So Gideon went in and cooked a young
goat in boiling water. He also took about 20
poundsd of flour and made bread without
yeast. Then he put the meat into a basket
and the broth from the meat into a pot. He
brought out the meat, the broth, and the
bread without yeast and gave them to the
LORD under the oak tree.
20The angel of God said to Gideon, “Put the
meat and the bread on that rock over there.
Then pour the broth on it.” Gideon did as he
was told.
21The angel of the LORD had a walking
stick in his hand. He touched the meat and
the bread with the end of the stick, and fire
jumped up out of the rock and burned up the
meat and the bread. Then the angel of the
LORD disappeared.
22Then Gideon realized that he had been
talking to the angel of the LORD.
(((((((((((Sometimes we realize just like this....After the god's prescence leaves us then only we will understand WE were with God all this time..."""))
So he shouted,
“Oh, Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the
LORD face to face!”
(( AS i was listening to the song..."Lord How Lovely you are to me...Lovely Lord"..
There came a point when the song lyrics...said "IM LONGING TO SEE U ONE DAY FACE TO FACE AND TO BE WITH YOU ENDLESSLY"""
It was that exact point of time that God made me look at this line which i stopped writing..and as u can see i
stopped writing exactly at the verse of "I HAVE SEEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD FACE TO FACE""
God longs to make himself known to us...Bcoz After all we are his sons...and
any father would love to tell his son of the great heritage and legacy tht his son is part of
and tht is that WE ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION!!! A GENERATION THAT SEEKS THE LORD!!)))
23But the LORD said to Gideon, “Calm
down!a Don’t be afraid! You will not die!”
24So Gideon built an altar* there to worship
the LORD and named it “The LORD is Peace.”
It still stands in the city of Ophrah, where the
Abiezer family lives.(((((( AS you can see that GIDEON MADE A REMINDER TO HIMSELF THAT
THERE WAS A POINT WHEN GOD TALKED TO HIM!!!!
So u too friends...when God talkt to you in some way or the other...
MAKE SURE U WRITE IT SOMEWHERE AS A REMEMBERANCE TO BLESS YOU AND THOSE WHO
READ IT THAT GOD TALKS TO HIS CHILDREN THT HE CARES>>THT HE LOVES...
25That same night the LORD spoke to Gideon and said, “Take the full-grown bull
that belongs to your father, the one that is seven years old. Your father has an altar*
to the false god Baal.* Also beside the altar a wooden pole was made to honor the false
goddess Asherah.* 26Then build the right kind of altar for the LORD your God. Build it on this
high ground. Then kill and burn the fullgrown bull on the altar. Use the wood from
the Asherah pole to burn your offering.”
((((( ISnt God telling you to BREAK SOME STRONGHOLD IN YOUR LIFE WHICH IS KEEPING YOU AWAY FROM HIM...
SOME IDOL IN YOUR LIFE...
Some Stuff in ur computer...
Some person or set of persons God told you to be away from!!!
Something in your surroundings also God told you remove!!!
Listen to God and DO what he says...DO NOT FEAR WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK...WHAT THIS X or THAT Y THINKS ABOUT YOUR DOING
Whether they will be hurting them or anything...Keep in mind
NEVER COMPROMISE AND HURT GOD!!!
There will be situations where you have to hurt your friends for God but U SHOULD NOT COMPROMISE
Ill give you an example...If you and ur group of your friends have gone outside to have fun...
and suddenly they all thought of going to a bad movie...
and if they force you saying that for their sake and stuff like that....
U HAVE TO DENY IT ANY COST>>>
Coz NEVER HURT THE LORD FOR UR STUPID FRIENDS>...EVEN IF THEY THREATEN TO NEVER TO TALK TO YOU!!!
KEEP IN MIND GOD CAN GIVE YOU BETTER FRIENDS THAN THEY ....WHO WOULD EVEN DIE FOR YOU!!
GOd did!!! HE gave us Jesus as a friend...Who died for his friends...that is poeple like us!!!
JUST KEEP IN MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
27So Gideon took ten of his servants and
did what the LORD had told him to do. But
Gideon was afraid that his family and the men
of the city might see what he was doing, so he
did what the LORD told him to do at night, not
in the daytime.(((((((((( AS you can see you can take help...may to get down some stronghold of your life or pray for deliverance
you can ask your friends to sit and pray with you for that cause and God will manifest his glory through us and give us deliverance!!!
28The men of the city got up the next morning
and saw that the altar for Baal had been
destroyed! They also saw that the Asherah
pole* had been cut down. It had been sitting
next to the altar for Baal. They also saw the
altar* that Gideon had built. And they saw the
bull that had been sacrificed on that altar.
29The men of the city looked at each other
and asked, “Who pulled down our altar? Who
cut down our Asherah pole? Who sacrificed
this bull on this new altar?” They asked many
questions and tried to learn who did this.
Someone told them, “Gideon son of Joash
did this.”
30So the men of the city came to Joash and
said, “You must bring your son out. He pulled
down the altar for Baal, and he cut down the
Asherah pole that was beside it. So your son
must die.”
31Then Joash spoke to the crowd that was
standing around him. Joash said, “Are you
going to take Baal’s side? Are you going to
rescue Baal? If anyone takes Baal’s side, let
him be put to death by morning. If Baal really
is a god, let him defend himself when someone
pulls down his altar.” 32Joash said, “If
Gideon pulled Baal’s altar down, let Baal argue
with him.” On that day Joash gave Gideon a
new name. He called him Jerub Baal
((((((( AS YOU CAN THE PEOPLE COULDNT DO ANYTHING!!!!!!! GIDEON COULDNT HAVE IMAGINED THIS SITUATION THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO GET AWAY AFTER DOING THAT!!!
BUT THE LORD HELPED HIM OUT!!!
AS you can see God works in ways far more wonderful and simply beautiful for us humans to comprehend!!!))))
{{{{a 6:23 Calm down Literally, “Peace.”
{{{{b 6:23 You will not die Gideon thought he would die
{{{{because he had seen the LORD face to face.
{{{{c 6:32 Jerub Baal This is like the Hebrew words
{{{{meaning “Let Baal argue.” The same verb is translated
{{{{“take one’s side” and “defend” in verse 31.
33The Midianites, Amalekites, and other people from the east joined together to fight
against the Israelites. They went across the Jordan River and camped in the Jezreel Valley.
34The Spirit of the LORD filled Gideon.
(((((((((( AS YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS THE POWER OF GOD THAT FILLS U UP TO FIGHT THE EVIL ONE!!!!!!!!))))))))
So Gideon blew a trumpet to call the family of
Abiezer to follow him. 35He sent messengers
to all the people of the tribe of Manasseh and
told them to get their weapons and prepare
for battle. Gideon also sent messengers to the
tribes of Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali. The
messengers took the same message to them.
So they also went up to meet Gideon and his
men.
((((Gideon did some foolish things but God beared with him...its the same in our lives...
even though we say believe God is powerfull....
WE KEEP DOUBTING WHETHER GOD CAN DO SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE>....
ASK OF THE LORD TO FILL YOU UP WITH HIS SPIRIT!!! AND THEN HE WILL KEEP YOU FROM DOUBTING!!! By revealing his prescence every moment in ur life!!!)))))
36Then Gideon said to God, “You said that
you would help me save the Israelites. Give
me proof. 37I will put a sheepskin on the
threshing* floor. If there is dew only on the
sheepskin, while all the ground is dry, I will
know that you will use me to save Israel, as
you said.”
38And that is exactly what happened.
Gideon got up early the next morning and
squeezed the sheepskin. He was able to drain
a bowl full of water from it.
39Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be
angry with me. Let me ask just one more
thing. Let me test you one more time with
the sheepskin. This time let the sheepskin be
dry, while the ground around it gets wet with
dew.”
40That night God did that very thing. Just
the sheepskin was dry, but the ground around
it was wet with dew.
(((((( This is a small thing for the Lord...But God showed that He being King of Kings
is ready to do anything have us in him!!!!!!!!
This is really foolish from the view point of God...But yet he did Just as he died for us...
It was foolish thing to die for EVERYONE>....He died for everyone and not just for those who will get saved in the end...
So it implies he ven died for those people who never understand the Love of God all their lives!!!!!!))))
*******************************************300**************************************
1Early in the morning Jerub Baal (Gideon) and all his men set up their camp at the
spring of Harod. The Midianites were camped in the valley at the bottom of the hill called
Moreh, north of Gideon and his men.
2Then the LORD said to Gideon, “I am going
to help your men defeat the Midianites, but
you have too many men. I don’t want the
Israelites to forget me and brag that they
saved themselves. 3So make an announcement
to your men. Tell them, ‘Anyone who
is afraid may leave Mount Gilead and go back
home.’”(((((( God wants us to understand tht its all about HIM AND NONE OR NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!))
At that time 22,000 men left Gideon and
went back home, but 10,000 still remained.
4Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are
still too many men. Take the men down to the
water, and I will test them for you there. If I
say, ‘This man will go with you,’ he will go.
But if I say, ‘That one will not go with you,’
then he will not go.”
5So Gideon led the men down to the water.
There the LORD said to him, “Separate the
men like this: Those who drink the water by
using their tongue to lap it up like a dog will
be in one group. And those who bend down
to drink will be in the other group.”
6There were 300 men who used their
hands to bring water to their mouth and
lapped it like a dog does. All the other people
bent down and drank the water. 7The LORD
said to Gideon, “I will use the 300 men who
lapped the water like a dog. I will use them
to save you, and I will allow you to defeat the
Midianites. Let the other men go home.”
8So Gideon sent the other men of Israel
home. He kept the 300 men with him. Those
300 men kept the supplies and the trumpets
of the other men who went home.
************ YOU MIGHT SAY WHY WOULD GOD EVEN THAT 300 men to deafeat the armies of midianites ...cant he do with just one man or no man at all...
Well then keep in mind...if God does things tht way...people will take God for granted..
We are all his attention...He is doing everything for us...so that we will LEARN SOMETHING!!
The reason for choosing those 300 may be those people were the ones God delighted in...
And he wanted to bless each one of them to show what God can do through each one of them..
Its a blessing to be a chosen one to fight for the Lord...************
The Midianites were camped in the valley below Gideon’s camp.
************ Below is where the Lord talks to Gideonm when he was scared and worried about the war tomorrow!!!!!!
During the night the LORD spoke to Gideon and said, “Get up. I
will let you defeat the Midianite army. Go down to their camp.
*** God knows ur deepest feelings..he knew that Gideon dint have faith enough to go alone thts y he told also who take with him.
********************************************God always does things WITH RESPECT TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you are afraid to go alone, take your servant Purah with you.
Go into the camp of the Midianites. 11Listen to
what they are saying. After that you will not
be afraid to attack them.”
So Gideon and his servant Purah went
down to the edge of the enemy camp. 12The
Midianites, the Amalekites, and all the other
people from the east were camped in that
valley. There were so many people that they
seemed like a swarm of locusts.* It seemed
like they had as many camels as there are
grains of sand on the seashore.
13Gideon came to the enemy camp, and
he heard a man talking. That man was telling
his friend about a dream that he had. He was
saying, “I dreamed that a round loaf of bread
came rolling into the camp of the Midianites.
That loaf of bread hit the tent so hard that the
tent turned over and fell flat.”
14The man’s friend knew the meaning of
the dream. He said, “Your dream can only
have one meaning. Your dream is about
that man from Israel. It is about Gideon son
of Joash. It means that God will let Gideon
defeat the whole army of Midian.”
15After he heard the men talking about
the dream and what it meant, Gideon bowed
down to God. Then Gideon went back to the
camp of the Israelites and called out to the
people, “Get up! The LORD will help us defeat
the Midianites.” 16Then Gideon divided the
300 men into three groups. He gave each
man a trumpet and an empty jar with a burning
torch inside it.
(( I THINK SO AS TO NOT LET THE LIGHT BE SEEN TILL REQUIRED!!!!!!))))
17Then Gideon told the
men, “Watch me and do what I do. Follow me
to the edge of the enemy camp. When I get
to the edge of the camp, do exactly what I do.
18You men surround the enemy camp. I and
all the men with me will blow our trumpets.
When we blow our trumpets, you blow your
trumpets too. Then shout these words: ‘For
the LORD and for Gideon!’”
So Gideon and the 100 men with him
went to the edge of the enemy camp. They
came there just after the enemy changed
guards. It was during the middle watch of the
night. Gideon and his men blew their trumpets
and smashed their jars. 20Then all three
groups of Gideon’s men blew their trumpets
and smashed their jars. The men held the
torches in their left hands and the trumpets
in their right hands. As they blew their trumpets,
they shouted, “A sword for the LORD
and a sword for Gideon!”
21Gideon’s men stayed where they were.
But inside the camp, the men of Midian
began shouting and running away.
***********See in UNimaginable ways GOD WORKS....Below is the way tht you couldnt think will possibly ever happen but when you are with the Lord
u get to see uniaginable things happening!!!!!!!**************
When Gideon’s 300 men blew their trumpets, the
LORD caused the men of Midian to kill each
other with their swords.
************
The enemy army ran away to the city of Beth Shittah, which is
toward the city of Zererah. They ran as far as
the border of the city of Abel Meholah, which
is near the city of Tabbath.
23Then soldiers from the tribes of Naphtali,
Asher, and all of Manasseh were told to chase
the Midianites. 24Gideon sent messengers
through all the hill country of Ephraim. The
messengers said, “Come down and attack the
Midianites. Take control of the river as far
as Beth Barah and the Jordan River. Do this
before the Midianites get there.”
So they called all men from the tribe of
Ephraim. They took control of the river as far
as Beth Barah. 25The men of Ephraim caught
two of the Midianite leaders named Oreb and
Zeeb. They killed Oreb at a place named the
Rock of Oreb and Zeeb at a place named the
Winepress of Zeeb. They continued chasing
the Midianites, but first they cut off the
heads of Oreb and Zeeb and took the heads
to Gideon. Gideon was at the place where
people cross the Jordan River.
1The men of Ephraim were angry with
Gideon. When they found him, they
asked, “Why did you treat us this way? Why
didn’t you call us when you went to fight
against the Midianites?”
2But Gideon answered the men of Ephraim,
“I have not done as well as you. You people
of Ephraim have a much better harvest than
my family, the Abiezers. At harvest time you
leave more grapes in the vineyard* than my
family gathers! Isn’t that true? 3In the same
way you have a better harvest now. God
allowed you to capture Oreb and Zeeb, the
leaders of Midian. How can I compare my
success with what you did?” When the men
of Ephraim heard Gideon’s answer, they were
not as angry as they had been.
((((((((((( THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO SPEAK WHEN UR OWN PEOPLE SOMETIMES TURN AGAINST YOU!!!!
IT WAS A BATTLE SITUATION ..WHERE A SMALL MISUNDERSTANDING CAN LEAD TO WARS!!!!!)))))
4Then Gideon and his 300 men came to the Jordan River and went across to the
other side, but they were tired and hungry.Gideon said to the men of the city of Succoth,
“Give my soldiers something to eat. They are very tired. We are still chasing Zebah and Zalmunna,
kings of Midian.” 6But the leaders of the city of Succoth said
to Gideon, “Why should we give your soldiers something to eat? You haven’t caught Zebah
and Zalmunna yet.”
7Then Gideon said, “The LORD will help me capture Zebah and Zalmunna. And since you
would not give us any food, I will come back
and beat you with thorns and briers from the
desert.”
8Gideon left the city of Succoth and went
to the city of Penuel. He asked the men of
Penuel for food, just as he had asked the
men of Succoth. But the men of Penuel gave
Gideon the same answer that the men of Succoth
had given.
So Gideon said to the men of
Penuel, “After I win the victory, I will come
back here and pull this tower down.”
10Zebah and Zalmunna and their army
were in the city of Karkor.
***********AS U CAN SEE BELOW THERE WERE STILL 15000 enemies so at the ratio of 50:1 so there were 50 enemies for every single ISrael Soldier!!! actually the ratio was 400:1 before...WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT!!!
AT such a huge ratio.....Even if they are small kids...they can kill one man....********
Their army had 15,000 soldiers in it. These soldiers were
all who were left of the army of the people
of the east.
120,000 strong soldiers of that
army had already been killed. 11Gideon and
his men used Tent Dwellers’ Road, which is
east of the cities of Nobah and Jogbehah and
attacked the enemy at Karkor.The enemy army did not expect the attack.
(( AS YOU CAN SEE GOD HELPED THEM TO GET A SOLUTION TO SURPRISE THEIR ENEMY!!!
He will giv you wisdom and knowledge and ********************************WHICH ROAD TO TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He will help you to choose WHICH ROAD TO TAKE IN YOUR LIFE JUST AS GOD DIRECTED GIDEON!!!
Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of the Midianites, ran away.
But Gideon chased and caught them. Gideon
and his men defeated the enemy army.
13Then Gideon son of Joash returned from
the battle. He and his men returned by going
through a mountain pass called the Pass of
Heres. Gideon captured a young man from
the city of Succoth. He asked the young man
some questions. The young man wrote down
some names for Gideon. The young man
wrote down the names of the leaders and
elders of the city of Succoth. He gave Gideon
the names of 77 men.
15When Gideon came to the city of Succoth,
he said to the men of that city, “Here
are Zebah and Zalmunna. You made fun of me
by saying, ‘Why should we give food to your
tired soldiers? You have not caught Zebah and
Zalmunna yet.’” 16Gideon took the elders of
the city of Succoth and beat them with thorns
and briers from the desert to punish them.
17Gideon also pulled down the tower in the
city of Penuel and killed the men living in
that city.
18Then Gideon said to Zebah and Zalmunna,
“You killed some men on Mount Tabor. What
were the men like?”
Zebah and Zalmunna answered, “They
were like you. Each one of them seemed like
a prince.”
19Gideon said, “Those men were my brothers,
my mother’s sons! As the LORD lives, if
you had not killed them, I would not kill you
now.”
20Then Gideon turned to Jether, his oldest
son, and said, “Kill these kings.” But Jether
was only a boy and was afraid, so he would
not take out his sword.
21Then Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon,
“Come on, kill us yourself. You are a man and
strong enough to do the job.” So Gideon got
up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna. Then
Gideon took the decorations shaped like the
moon off their camels’ necks.
**************Gideon Makes an Ephod*****************
22The Israelites said to Gideon, “You saved
us from the Midianites. So now rule over us.
We want you, your son, and your grandson to
rule over us.”
23But Gideon told the Israelites, “The LORD
will be your ruler. I will not rule over you, and
my son will not rule over you.”
((((((((((( AS WE CAN SEE THAT THIS WAS A GREAT STATEMENT....
and we might think what a man Gideon was....
But sadly u will see how foolishly he says the next line...))))))
24Some of the people who the men of Israel
defeated were Ishmaelites. And the Ishmaelite
men wore gold earrings. So Gideon said
to the Israelites, “I want you to do this one
thing for me. I want each of you to give me a
gold earring from the things you took in the
battle.”
25The Israelites said to Gideon, “We will
gladly give you what you want.” So they put
a coat down on the ground, and each man
threw an earring onto the coat. 26When the
earrings were gathered up, they weighed
about 43 pounds. This did not include the
other gifts the Israelites gave to Gideon. They
also gave him jewelry shaped like the moon
and jewelry shaped like teardrops. And they
gave him purple robes. The kings of the Midianites
had worn these things. They also gave
him the chains from the camels of the Midianite
kings.
********Even after we have seen God took control of Gideon
and his men and helped them to do great things for the Lord...
They became foolsih in their hearts...
AS Gideon fell prey to richness...after getting through strongest oppositions..
********************
Gideon used the gold to make an ephod,
which he put in his hometown, the town
called Ophrah. All the Israelites worshiped
the ephod. In this way the Israelites were not
faithful to God—they worshiped the ephod.
The ephod became a trap that caused Gideon
and his family to sin.
****The Death of Gideon*********
28The Midianites were forced to be under
the rule of the Israelites. The Midianites did
not cause trouble anymore. And the land was
at peace for 40 years, as long as Gideon was
alive.
29Jerub Baal (Gideon) son of Joash went
home. 30Gideon had 70 sons of his own.
He had so many sons because he had many
wives. 31He had a slave woman* who lived in
the city of Shechem. He had a son by her. He
named that son Abimelech.
32So Gideon son of Joash died at a good old
age. He was buried in the tomb that Joash,
his father, owned. That tomb is in the city of
Ophrah, where the family of Abiezer lives.
As soon as Gideon died, the Israelites again
were not faithful to God—they followed
Baal.d They made Baal Berithe their god.
{{{ 8:26 43 pounds Literally, “1700 shekels” (19.55 kg).
{{{ 8:27 ephod This may have been a special vest
{{{ or coat like that worn by the high priest (see Ex.
{{{ 28:2-14), or it may have been a kind of idol.
{{{ 8:27 were not faithful … ephod Literally, “acted like
{{{a prostitute to it.”
{{{ 8:33 were not faithful … Baal Literally, “they acted
{{{like a prostitute to Baal.”
{{{ 8:33 Baal Berith A name that means “Lord of
{{{the Agreement.”
34The Israelites did not remember the LORD
their God, who had saved them from all their
enemies living around them. 35The Israelites
were not loyal to the family of Jerub Baal,
even though he had done many good things
for them.
**************************So IN THE END WE SEE THAT EVEN AFTER ALL THOSE MIRACLES>....THEY AGAIN BECAME CORRUPT!!!!
Does this ring similar to you....yes it is....bcoz we are nothing better than Israelites and even worse...
Bcoz even after reading revelations like these and God also helping us in many ways in our life...
We again doubt God...forget what God wants and pursue our selfish desires....
So lets pray that the Spirit of the Lord will help us to keep ourselves from sinning ...
and that our understanding of the Love of the lord will be renewed every single day
and help us to enjoy as if it was the last day to enjoy.
