Judges 7:1-7, NKJV “Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the well of Harod so that camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley….”

Gideon led 300 men and defeated 134,000. He went through many tests, was a great leader and has some great secrets to success!

5 Things to Learn from Gideon

• Tests teach us to trust God.
• God calls a leader to follow.
• God prepares the leader before He prepares the people.
• God destroys self-confidence to build Godly influence. God wants you to go from self-reliant to God-reliant.
• Trust God’s Word over your feelings.

Gideon heard God’s calling, trusted God’s testing and obeyed God’s command.

"The real secret to success is trusting facts over your feelings."

Judges 7:7, NKJV “Then the Lord said to Gideon, “By three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.”

The Challenge

• Is there a battle to fight that looks impossible to you that you need to trust God with?
• Do you need to allow God to take your hurt or betrayal into Godly dependence and Godly confidence?
• Is God calling you to something that you need to answer to?
