Topic: See The Testimony

Scripture: Judges 6:11-16

What you focus on will either build your faith or fear. When the enemy identifies people destined for glory, one of his strategies is to stir up fear in their hearts by shifting their focus to challenges and difficulties. He knows that when we see through the eyes of faith, we cannot be stopped.

When Gideon had a divine encounter with the angel, he wanted to find out why God hadn’t shown up to make their lives better. They were being oppressed by the Midianites and living in fear. Their expectation was that the God they had heard and read about would show up with miracles to save them. God’s answer was not to take away the challenges but to reveal His strength through Gideon to overcome the Midianites. It was time for Gideon to see the testimony, not the enemy.

Every biblical prophecy concerning these times reveals this truth, that the days will get darker. But it also shows us that God’s answer is to showcase His people who carry greater light. He is empowering you to overcome, no matter the difficulty. You don’t have to deny the challenges or pretend they don’t exist. But you must also acknowledge this truth, that God has given you strength beyond any challenge. Rather than complain about what you are facing, stir up the strength of God in you for dominion and victory. See the testimony ahead of you.

Prayer: Father, I acknowledge that You are at work in me. Therefore, I have the strength to overcome every challenge.
