Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people
3.   Open your heart to praise the Lord

     Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
         which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
                       Psalm 125 :1

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in you:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

The Word (Judges 7:9-18)

English(ESV): https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges 7&version=ESV


That same night the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand. 10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant. 11 And you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the armed men who were in the camp. 12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts in abundance, and their camels were without number, as the sand that is on the seashore in abundance.13 When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.” 14 And his comrade answered, “This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given into his hand Midian and all the camp.”
15 As soon as Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped. And he returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the Lord has given the host of Midian into your hand.” 16 And he divided the 300 men into three companies and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with torches inside the jars. 17 And he said to them, “Look at me, and do likewise. When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. 18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’”
                      Judges 7:9-18

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"


My Listening
     Yesterday we talked about the story of Gideon is one of the most interesting and encouraging passages in the Bible. We as human beings always think of the more people the better to fight a warfare. God chose only 300 warriors out of 32,000 Israelites who could and would like to fight.

     Today we learn how God gave His plan to Gideon. God knew Gideon didn't have faith to trust in His plan and He sent Gideon to receive a special confirmation from the enemy that God had a special plan to win the war.

     Received the confirmation and in verse 15, Gideon worshipped God. What does that mean? It means he has a 100% total trust in God's "Mission Impossible" plan.

     Do you have that kind of relationship to receive God's "Mission Impossible" plan? I think it all starts with God's chosen 300. And I deeper believe those Gideon 300 are prayer warriors!

     Yesterday was DAY 6 of our 40 Days Prayer for REC Promised Land. Yesterday we had 44 brothers and sisters willing to come to pray at 7a.m. Today is Saturday, for the past three years, we have prayer warriors from St. Simon's Church and Richmond Emmanuel Church having their weekly 9a.m prayer meeting. Praise the Lord we have Christ the Redeemer Church joining us starting today to pray at 9a.m. weekly. I do hope and pray that we will sooner and later have more churches from AM-Canada coming to pray at this time or other time and that we can be more than 300 prayer warriors! Do you think it would happen? Do you think you can become one of those Gideon 300 to pray for your own church?

Dear Lord Jesus, 
May you open more people's hearts to understand that weekly prayer meeting is the lifeline of a church and that we really need more people joining their church's prayer meeting to pray so that they can experience Your Mighty power. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Reflect on these questions:
1. Do you think you are one of those 22,000? Those10,000? Or, the 300?

2.  What kind of action have you taken to signify that you are one of those 300? 

3. What have you got from Jesus today?
