Desperate Times, Desperate Measures (Judges Chapter 6)

The angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said unto him:

 "the Lord is with
thee, thou mighty man of valour." -Judges 6:12

Now, Gideon  was hiding in the wine vat because he was afraid the enemy would come and steal his crops. The people of God were being robbed by the enemy.  The children of God would grow their crops
and when it was harvest time, the Midianites would come in and take their harvest. God's people  were in desperate times.   

The Lord is looking for mighty men and women of  God to take a stand and quit hiding from the enemy.  
It's time to rise up and go to the enemies camp and take back what the devil has stolen! 

Gideon didn't realize that he had the ability to defeat the enemy until the Lord gave him several signs that the victory was his because God  is with him.  Every battle is first won  in the spirit realm then manifested in the physical realm. 

Who will stand and declare the Word of God, PRAY, and apply the precious blood of Jesus Christ over your situation?

It's time to receive the harvest God has for you.....stand up, fight ...Mighty man of valour....... Mighty woman of valour......

The victory is yours......... BECAUSE GOD IS WITH YOU!!

At the Midnight Cry

Hi Friends,

When Abraham’s servant, Eliezer went to get a bride for Isaac, he went representing the Holy Spirit.  As he sat out to go find her, he loaded down his camels with riches and wealth for the beautiful bride.  Once   Eliezer met the woman that was to be Isaac's bride, he begin to give her gifts.  When he spoke with her, she invited him to stay the night with her family.  The first thing Eliezer told them was his master is wealthy and there are great riches where this came from.

Abraham represents God the Father in this story.  Try to picture it:  Eliezer, like the Holy Spirit, is getting the Bride ready (who is The Church) for the Father's Son, Jesus Christ.  He is releasing gifts to the bride and he’s saying,  "Arise my love! It’s time to come away."

" ¹ "Arise, shine, for your light has come,
       and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
 ² See, darkness covers the earth
       and thick darkness is over the peoples,
       but the LORD rises upon you
       and his glory appears over you. Isa.60: 1-2

At midnight, a cry was heard.... "behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!"  Then all of those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. Five of the virgins' lamps were shining bright and five of the virgins' lamps were about to go out.  Matthew 25

Right at the midnight cry... behold the bridegroom is coming.... is when they realized the condition of their lamps.  Five virgins were ready when the bridegroom came and they went in with Him to the wedding, but five were left behind.

The trumpet of God is about to sound to catch His bride away!  Don’t wait till you hear the sound of the trumpet to realize the spiritual condition you're in………then it will be to late!
