judges chapter 7 it’s the story of
Gideon we began Sunday talking about see
it say it and sees it and tonight I want
to continue in this story
I won’t take time to read it all but
it’s the story of get in of how that he
goes down and he overhears what they’re
saying in the enemy’s camp about who he
is and what God’s going to do through
him he completely defeated their enemies
and I want us to revisit this story the
word victory the word victory according
to Webster means the overcoming of an
enemy or an antagonist the overcoming of
an enemy or an antagonist with 300 men
Gideon experienced one of the most
astonishing victories in all of the
Bible and God has a way of taking the
underdog God has a way of taking people
who are outnumbered outmaneuvered out
planned and out resourced and working a
miracle in the midst of the madness I’m
saying to you today that God can work a
miracle in the mists of your madness
whether it be the dividing of the Red
Sea for Moses
whether it be the addition of 15 years
of life for Hezekiah whether it be the
cleansing of the leper in the Jordan
River whether it be the opening of the
blind man with a spit ball whether it be
the deliverance of a naked demonized man
in the end that was so demon-possessed
that he ran through the tombs
whether it be his own resurrection from
the dead God has a way our God a proving
that he is bigger that he is greater
that he is stronger than anything that
comes against us he knows how to bring
the miracle in the midst of the mad
let’s just take a moment and say thank
you Lord for miracles in the mists of
the madness how many of you can admit
tonight that are listening to me that
there have been times when you were
outnumbered you were out maneuvered you
were out man but instead of being
destroyed God turned it and somehow
someway you came out victorious meaning
you overcame an enemy or an antagonist
God worked a miracle in the mists of
your madness and that is called victory
everybody shout victory shout it again
victory you see in judges chapter 7 it’s
a book about victory it’s a chapter
about victory but in chapter 6 which is
7 is the number of God but 6 is the
number of man and in chapter 6 before
there’s a victory chapter 6 the number
of man is about a battle I want to say
to you that before you can have a
victory there must be about them we
can’t shout about the victory if we pout
about the battle we can’t shout about
what God is adding to us on the
mountaintop if we cuss about what God is
subtracting in the valley you cannot
have a victory without a battle
and in judges chapter 6 and verse 1 it
says and they did evil in the sight of
the Lord and God delivered them into the
hand of Midian 7 years God did it God
allowed his people to be turned over to
the enemy because they did evil in his
sight I want you to understand that
there are negative side effects to
stupid decisions consequences doesn’t
mean you’re not forgiven and forgiveness
doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences
to your stupid decisions
I think we presented a false gospel when
we tell people come to Jesus and
everything gets fixed there are
consequences to stew it doesn’t mean if
you’re suffering consequences of stupid
decisions that you’re not forgiven nor
does it mean nor does it mean the
consequences are a sign you’re not
forgiven at the time of the harvest the
scripture said when they had sown this
is in judges chapter 6 when they had
sown the enemy came at the time of
harvest at the time when they were about
to reap what they had sown for and the
scripture said they came with tents they
came and set up and they said we’re
going to stay a while
they came to quote destroy the land the
devil always tries to destroy discourage
and defeat you at the time of harvest if
you’re under attack today it’s because
it’s the time of harvest and when you
want scripture for that the Bible said
in book of Revelation when Satan saw
that his time was short he releases all
that he has against us because of his
time being short he knows when your
harvest is coming and he can’t stop the
harvest but he wants to stop you from
being there when the harvest comes he
wants you to give up before the harvest
comes he wants you to throw in the towel
and stop believing and stop praising and
stop giving and stop confessing the Word
of God and just give up he cannot stop
the harvest of that so he can only stop
you from being there when the harvest
comes it’s time for the harvest
it’s time for the harvest the Bible said
that the Israelites were so afraid when
the enemy invaded them at the time of
harvest that they hid in the caves
because of the Midianites and if you
look the word Midianite up is
interesting they are descendants of
Abraham and the word Midian means in
Hebrews strife they were held hostage by
strife discord fighting listen to this
at the harvest time I’m saying to you
that if the enemy can’t stop you any
other way he’ll try to get you into
discord fighting arguing that’s why you
know it’s harvest time when your husband
gets grouchy when the kids get the most
rebellious is usually right before the
harvest when all hell breaks loose I’ve
learned to just stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord just when it looks
like the enemy is going to win in the
ministry I’ll just come myself and say
stand still because without fail before
every major breakthrough we’ve ever had
as a ministry all hell would break loose
and I’ve almost learned to get
encouraged through discouraging
circumstances because all things are
working together for the good to them
that are called according to his purpose
everybody take a praise break and shout
it’s harvest time hallelujah and the
scripture said in verse 6 and they cried
unto the Lord there’s power in prayer
there’s power in taking your frustration
and your fear and your worry and your
discouragement and turning it in
prayer this past Saturday every once in
a while I like to just come over here
and I like to catch it when there’s
nobody here and I did Saturday later in
the night I came in and I I want to
round this building and I prayed and I
ended up all across the balcony and I
ended up up in the prayer tower I hadn’t
been up there in a while I’m telling you
I lifted my hand and I just begin to
pray we complicate this thing folks we
get we get we carry so much when what we
need to learn to do is turn to the power
of prayer again and begin to cry unto
the Lord he’ll meet your every need
he’ll move your every mountain he’ll
heal your every disease he’ll save your
your children
he’ll deliver your family he’ll provide
every need if you’ll learn the power of
prayer and crying sometimes it’s got to
be more than than just routine prayer
every once in a while I hid something in
that prayer tower up there last Saturday
that it turned into tears it turned into
that D groaning from the Holy Ghost it
turned into that joy well of living
water that began to flow that said I am
still your God and boy when he feels you
if you will get alone in the prayer
place God will pour courage into your
spirit to face everything you have to
face and overcome it with victory till
somebody there’s power in prayer don’t
you want to pray right now just reach
over and grab somebody by the hand and
say agree with me and tell them what you
need right now do you need a million
dollars tell them agree with me agree
with me agree with me I got a business
deal I need a breakthrough I’m tired of
talking about it wishing for it worrying
about it I need somebody to pray pray
with me and agree with me God can do
anything God can open a door God can
make a way God can bless in the name of
Jesus they cried unto the Lord
in this next part of the story I see
salvation clear the Bible said that he
said to his 300 men Gideon did god told
him you only have 300 against an army
that no man can number their camels are
without number the scripture said and
the army was as the sands of the
seashore and you only have three you
only have well actually started out with
33,000 and God said tell all of them who
want to go back home to go now see
salvation in this because the first step
to salvation is repentance and when you
truly repent you don’t go back where you
came from you don’t go back to sin you
don’t go back to drugs you don’t go back
it’s not that you don’t fail or you
don’t fall but I’m saying the won’t to
in you has changed your nature has
changed you you may slip you may fall
but you don’t want to anymore and
everything in you says I got a it’s like
before everything in you was bent this
way I love sin I love partying I love
drunkenness I love it more immorality I
love it I love it I love it I love it I
love it I love it and no matter how I
got to quit I’m drinking too much I got
to quit I love it I love it I love it I
got to quit getting around the wrong
people I love it I love it and you try
and you try to prop it up I promise I’m
gonna make a new year’s resolution poom
but then you get born again and he
changes your nature and it’s not that
you don’t have temptations it’s just I’m
trying to be a good Center I’m trying to
enjoy this party I’m trying to sleep
with this girl I’m trying I’m trying to
but i can’t because everything in my
nature wants to please God everything in
my nature loves him every even when
you’re trying to do it something’s
crying out I love you Jesus I don’t know
why I’m doing this I don’t like this
this is not me that’s how you know
you’ve been born again or not if you
want to go back all the time you need to
get good and saved because when you get
come on church when you get good and
saved you start moving in a new
direction the old things have passed
away and behold all things I feel the
Holy Ghost in this place you can be free
you can get delivered you never have to
go back to it again
somebody shout if you believe God can
deliver people I appreciate counseling
I appreciate programs we have all kinds
but but if you think a counseling
textbook is gonna change that try all
you won’t go to every counseling session
and you’re gonna do like this but when
Jesus comes the tempters power is broken
when Jesus comes demons say we gotta let
him go now the blood has set him free
the nature has been changed
oh what a change has come over me since
Jesus came into my life he the next the
next thing is you know find out who who
doesn’t want to go who wants to go back
if they want to go back they don’t
qualify for the Lord’s army some of you
need to make up your mind you’re gonna
serve the Lord
but then the second thing is he said if
they’re gonna be in my army they got to
get to the water I don’t know that we
understand the how powerful water
baptism is he said I want them to get
into the water and those who don’t get
the water part right tell them to go
home – and the Great Commission go into
all the world preach the gospel they
that believe and are baptized now note
that the baptism isn’t we’re not saved
by works understand all that but I do
believe in obedience to the Great
Commission of Jesus Christ is pretty
important baptism is not an option that
you take or leave on a car you need to
be baptized in water just like Jesus
said and so he gets down now to 300 and
the last 300 he says I got to make sure
they’ve got fire they need a torch you
shall be baptized in the Holy Ghost and
fire they need the to be filled with the
Holy Spirit our God is a consuming fire
this is not about how close to the world
you can live and still hang out with
Jesus this is not about I’m gonna do my
thing we totally perverted the gospel
Jesus take up your cross and follow me
I’m gonna do what I want to do and I
want you with me but I’m not gonna take
up my cross and sacrifice nothing for
you and you’re like you take up your
cross and I want the good life and so
here we go I’m almost through so you see
the 300 you see them repenting you see
them they’ve been to the water they’ve
got fire and all of a sudden
gideon gets his 300 he divides them into
three groups a hundred in each group he
says be quiet put the glass pitcher over
the torch I do not want the fire exposed
at this time and I want us to surround
the enemy in groups of a hundred and do
what I do
and when I break the picture and expose
the fire and when we lift our voice and
shout you do the same thing and the
thing listen to me carefully that scared
the enemy to death literally if you read
the story when they when they broke when
they did those three things it scared
the enemy to death they turned on one
another and wiped each other out two
things terrified the enemy we frightened
the enemy to death what shook them up
was the noise and the fire the noise and
the fire shall the noise shout the fire
hell’s not afraid of our programs but
when we begin to make a joyful noise and
it’s not just noise because if all it is
is noise and there’s no anointing
meaning the fire of the Holy Spirit is
the anointing
we need we need more than beer Beth
breath celebrities leading in worship we
need some holy spirit anointed worship
if you can get the joyful noise and
expose the fire we get hell’s attention
cuz we get heaven’s attention shout unto
God with the voice of triumph that’s why
I say see it and then say it shout unto
God with the voice of triumph let the
redeemed of the Lord say so now here’s
what I want you to see they had the fire
but they had covered it up
did you see the glass pitchers they
covered it up there for the breaking of
the pitchers was vital to their victory
the broken pitchers would cause the fire
to be exposed what our generation needs
is not a church that is ashamed of the
fire but we’re ready to expose the fire
of the Holy Spirit we do not need to be
closeted Pentecostals we do not need to
be ashamed of the fire of the Holy
Spirit we need to break the pitchers and
expose the fire and tell people there’s
a Jesus that heals there’s a Jesus that
delivers there’s a Jesus that sets
captives free there’s a Jesus that can
heal your marriage and we’re serious
about it and this isn’t our day job this
is our calling this is our passion this
is the air we breathe this is our life
things are trying to smother the fire if
you leave the fire covered long enough
it’s going to smother the fire so what
we need to do the breaking of the
pitchers is very important because the
key to this miracle is if you don’t if
you don’t let the fire of the holy
spirit burn bright in you it was smother
things will smother whatever’s killing
and hiding the fire and causing the fire
to not be exposed in your life it will
eventually smother the faith and the
fire in and the future of your of your
purpose out
pictures of doubt need to be broken
pictures of unbelief the glass picture
of addiction the smothering the fire it
can be broken habits pride past failures
break the pictures and the scripture
said when they blew the trumpet and they
broke the picture and they expose the
fire of the Holy Spirit the miracle came
what we need is a revival in our souls
that brings the noise which is praise
and joy into our heart that is expressed
through the lifting of the hands and the
joyful leaping and jumping and dancing
and singing and shouting and praising
God the noise and the fire are the key
to victory over every enemy and every
antagonist that comes against our life
how many of you would love to break the
glass pitcher and expose the fire and
the noise like you’ve never and I’m not
talking about just making a racket but
I’m talking about the Bible said they
that worship listen to it must worship
it’s not just noise in spirit and truth
it has to be anointed if it’s not
anointed is sounding brass and tinkling
cymbals but boy when we get the noise
that’s why I say say it say it in praise
say it in worship
don’t just see it begin to say it and
then you’ll season I want to pray with
you today I believe the message is
speaking directly to you that you can
see victory meaning you can overcome the
voices or the attacks of any enemy any
antagonist that has come against your
life and I’ve given you that that
formula for victory today when you have
the noise and the fire and the breaking
the breaking of that which would hold
you in and the noise is to say it
we’ve been talking in the Seerat series
about see it say it and sees it and I
believe that God is giving you today
that second step of saying it saying
what God’s Word says
speak the word speak life speak you know
your words are multipliers what you say
multiplies in your life it’s not mind
over matter it’s faith over unbelief
it’s speaking what the scripture says or
your fear your worry your depression
your discouragement and we have to
understand that death and life are in
the power of our tongue speak life today
and that life begins with speaking the
name of Jesus you know when you don’t
know anything else to say say Jesus
there’s power in that name
there’s victory in that name and there
is healing in that name we make room for
healing in your life today lord I pray
for the sick I pray for the diseased I
pray for the homes and the families that
are in crisis today I speak the name
that is above every name and I see you
moving in that life and in that home and
in that physical body making them whole
and I say by His stripes we are healed
today Lord stretch forth your hand to
heal and make whole God relieves
suffering pain and sickness and Lord
bring miracles to people’s lives
miracles in the midst of the madness in
Jesus name I pray amen and amen thank

be there for the grand dedication it’s
that big of a deal it’s the largest
marketplace in the nation of Haiti that
is privately owned by a ministry which
we’re giving that to missionaries there
