"Mighty warrior.."

Perspective: what God sees
Spiritual Truth: what God does

You're gonna defeat the Midianites…
The sign of the Holy Burnt Toast
Cut down the altar to the false gods…
Jerub-baal

Gideon said to God, “If you will save Israelby my hand as you have promised…

Mighty warrior
Burnt Toast

![Page 12: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Faithlessness in the present
Is almost always a sign ofForgetfulness of the past
![Page 13: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…look, I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor.
If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said”
![Page 14: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Faith?
![Page 15: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
And that is what happened.
Gideon rose early the next day;he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew- a bowlful of water.
![Page 16: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Satisfied?
![Page 17: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece…"
![Page 18: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Is this really about fleece
and
proof?
![Page 19: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
God's people have a history of
Covering their unwillingness to serve
With spiritual-sounding excuses
![Page 20: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why is God willing to prove himself?
![Page 21: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Should we "put out a fleece"?
![Page 22: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Should we "put out a fleece"?
Testing what God has already clearly said
![Page 23: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
As I grow
Is it possible I will walk more by faith and
less by sight?
![Page 24: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Time to fight!
![Page 25: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Umm…OK, but I'm shaking!
![Page 29: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What are you doing? You're slowing down, you're slowing down!
![Page 30: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What are you doing? You're slowing down, you're slowing down!
I'm bringing him in closer, Merlin.
![Page 31: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What are you doing? You're slowing down, you're slowing down!
I'm bringing him in closer, Merlin.
You're gonna do what?!?
![Page 32: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men
for me to deliver Midianinto their hands
![Page 33: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
You're too powerful
![Page 34: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In order that Israel may not boast against me
that her own strength has saved her, announce now to the people,
‘Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead’”
God takes bragging personally
![Page 35: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
God chooses powerless people so that his power might be
on display in them
![Page 36: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained
![Page 37: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
13 to 1
10,000 against 135,000
![Page 38: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Uh…can we please go back to the fleece?
![Page 39: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
But the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many men.
![Page 40: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there.
If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’
he shall go; but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’
he shall not go.”
![Page 41: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Why is it important to let God do the sifting?
![Page 42: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
So Gideon took the men down to the water.
There the LORD told him, “Separate those who lap the water
with their tongues like a dog
from those who kneel down to drink”
![Page 43: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Three hundred men lapped with their hands to their
mouths. All the rest got
down on their knees to drink
![Page 44: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
450 to 1
300 against 135,000
![Page 45: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Powerless
![Page 46: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Powerless
Mighty Warrior
![Page 47: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Because he is Powerless
He's in a position to be a Mighty Warrior
![Page 48: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
“Get up, go down against the camp, because I am going to give it
into your hands
![Page 49: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
If you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp
with your servant Purah and listen to what they are saying.
Afterward, you will be encouraged to attack the camp”
![Page 50: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Spiritual Truth
When God refuses to give us what we want…
It's because he knows what we need
![Page 51: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
So he and Purah his servant went down to the outposts of the camp.
The Midianites, the Amalekites and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts. Their camels could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore.
![Page 52: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
"I had a dream…"
![Page 53: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
"I had a dream…"
{Powerful}?
![Page 54: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
"I had a dream…"
How about {Fearful}?
![Page 55: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the
camp blow yours and shout,
‘For the LORD and for Gideon.’”
![Page 56: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars.
![Page 57: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the
trumpets they were to blow, they shouted,
“A sword for the LORD
and for Gideon!”
![Page 58: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites
ran, crying out as they fled.
![Page 59: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the LORD caused the men
throughout the camp to turn on each other with their swords
- Judges 6-7
![Page 60: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Who wins?

Whose Power?
![Page 62: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
“You have too many men
for me to deliver Midianinto their hands…"
If Gideon had been more powerful,
he would have been absolutely powerless

Powerless is true

Powerless is to be embraced
![Page 66: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
![Page 67: Less So much more…. 1) Limitless 2) Fearless Powerless.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c722/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise;
God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-
and the things that are not- to nullify the things that are,
so that no one may boast before him- 1 Cor. 1:26-29

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,
in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong
