My favorite story about an army is about Gideon. God gave him a higher calling. He was hiding in the house behind a wall?
Finally Gideon comes out. God tells him the deal. Gideon is kind of shocked. He asks God to throw out a fleece, twice, because he's not sure God is serious.
It's kind of funny. He gives this huge army to Gideon to lead. He takes them to a river and they all start drinking, they're thirsty. God starts whittling down the army by how they drink the water. Gideon is getting nervous because his army is dwindling.
Finally God shows him the men who get face down and lap the water like a dog would. Their weapons were in their hand, faces up looking for the enemy;
and God says these are your guys! They're ready for anything.
They went out on the battlefield and slay their enemies! It was a great victory. Always ask God to go with you into the battle. Pray. Ask God to anoint you for battle. And ask him for angels to assist the soldiers throughout the battle.
I've had times when I asked for angels to help and I know they did!! I almost had my neck broken; another time I gave someone a ride home from church. He pulled a 10 inch knife out of his jacket and hissed like a snake all the way to his house.
We have to ask God and not just assume or expect Him to anticipate the danger or the needs. We don't command the angels. They serve God. He sends them.
More than that, we need to go into battle covered head to toe, with the Blood of Jesus, as Christians. Non-believers do not have that. My army friend that did 4 tours in Afghanistan, would preach to his men and have altar calls. If he lost a guy, at least he knew he led that young soldier to Christ.
Judges 6 (verse 12)
Joshua had just died. He's another you could teach too.
Imagine how Gideon felt being chosen to lead the Army?
Read through some of the comments on this website. Most posts are 2,000 words in length. It's not for advertising, bashing, political debates. It's Bible questions, comments, teaching, helping others.
Also a lot of deception , and false teachings by men's doctrines , not the teachings of the Holy Spirit of truth . I have read lots too on this website . Prefer the Bible it never leads astray . Amen
I just wanted to know, how can I do a preaching about army?
