Welcome back to "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast". I'm excited to dive into a powerful story today about a man named Gideon. In Judges 6:12, the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the LORD is with you!” You may think Gideon was already a mighty hero, but not quite. Let's explore this together.
Point 1: God's Perception Versus Reality
Gideon was far from being a mighty hero. He was actually hiding from the Midianite marauders. But God's voice doesn't echo our self-doubts or the accusations of others. He sees us from an eternal perspective. He sees the potential in us, the end from the beginning. God called Gideon a mighty hero because He knew what Gideon would become.
Point 2: Hearing God's Voice Brings Out the Best in Us
God's voice has transformative power. He called out to Gideon, not as the man he was in that moment, but as the man he would become. And that's how God speaks to us as well. He sees the best in us, even when we can't see it ourselves. He calls us according to the divine potential He has placed within us.
Point 3: Embracing God's Assessment of Us
It might be hard to accept the identity God gives us. You may not feel like a mighty warrior, a person of great faith, or whatever else He calls you. But, God's view of us is not based on our current circumstances but on our future possibilities. When God calls you something, even if it seems unlikely, trust His words. He calls us out of hiding and into our destiny.
Conclusion:
Gideon's story is a powerful reminder that God sees beyond our present struggles. He sees the potential in us, the end from the beginning. He speaks to the mighty hero within us, calling us out of hiding and into the glorious destiny He has planned for us.
Call to Action:
Are you ready to hear God's voice and step into the destiny He has for you? Start by spending time with Him, in prayer and in His word. Listen for His voice. He might call you something you don't feel like right now, but trust His words. Embrace the identity He has for you. And remember, God is always with you, just as He was with Gideon.
