We will Advance Totally Dependent on Jesus - Part 3
Main Point: In 2024, we will Advance Totally Dependent on Jesus. Every little thing we can do to advance spiritually for God’s Kingdom is important.
Scriptures on being totally dependent on Jesus:
Pastor’s Thoughts:
Story of Gideon
Judges 6. The events in Chapter 6 were the foundation of Gideons victory over the Midianites
Judges 7:18-23. The victory is won with 300 men.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
Scriptures on being totally dependent on Jesus:
- Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust the Lord with all your heart, not you’re understanding and he will direct your path.
- If we are not totally dependent on Jesus, our path will not be clear, (no peace, no direction)
- Proverbs 16:9. We can plan but ultimately God directs our steps.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- In 2024 we will advance totally dependent on Jesus
- If we are carrying strongholds (bags and backpacks, sin), we must be willing to drop them and look to Jesus for all things.
- I believe that 2024 is a breakthrough year, where the church (you and me), drop everything that we think is important and we become totally dependent on Jesus.
- We will Advance
Story of Gideon
- The supernatural part of the story of Gideon is not that he conquered his enemy with only 300 men.
- That is supernatural, but it is the events before this that set the foundation for Advancement
Judges 6. The events in Chapter 6 were the foundation of Gideons victory over the Midianites
- V1-6. The Midianites were destroying God’s people.
- V7. Some Jewish people cried out to the Lord.
- V8-10. God responds to the cry from the Israelites
- V11-14. God chooses Gideon and Gideon ask God for a sign
- V15. Gideon sees himself as unworthy.
- (if you see yourself as unworthy to great things for God’s Kingdom, then you are just what God needs)
- V16. God confirms to Gideon that He will be with him
- V17-21. Gideon again asks for confirmation
- V22. Gideon is ready to advance, and be totally dependent on God.
- V23-27. Gideon is obedient and knocks down the alters to other Gods and replaces it with an alter to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
- V28-30. The people are angry at Gideon because what they were depending on was destroyed.
- V31-32. Joash, Gideons father tells the people that if Baal is real, he can defend himself against Gideon.
- V33. Midianites gather around the Israelites for war
- V34-40. Gideon prepares for war.
Judges 7:18-23. The victory is won with 300 men.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- The supernatural part of the story of Gideon is not that he conquered the enemy with only 300 men.
- That is supernatural, but it is the events before this that set the foundation for Advancement
- A cry out to the Lord by the Israelites
- Someone willing to Advance, totally dependent on God.
- Get of rid of idols and all darkness that stands against the righteousness of God
- Wait on the Lord’s timing
- Advance, totally dependent on God.
- That is supernatural, but it is the events before this that set the foundation for Advancement
