Episode 270: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 236

Episode Summary:

And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. (Judges 6:12-13)

60 And Gideon asked that question. What a Scriptural man that was! That’s the kind of man that God comes to, somebody who knows. Gideon said, “If God is with us, if You are the Messenger, then where is the miracles that the prophet told us about?” He knowed, everywhere God went, His miracles followed Him. He knowed that wherever God would be, miracles would be there.

61 And how can you expect God, today, to work in amongst people who doesn’t even believe in miracles? How can it be?

62 And He called him “the mighty man of valour.” Said, “Now, by this, you’re going to deliver Israel.”

63 Now, that looked like a man sitting there, and it was a Man. And he looked at Him, and he said, “Nay, my Lord, if God is with us, then why is all this trouble upon us? And where is the miracles that we are told about? Where is the things that God used to do?”

64 Now there is a good way to trust whether the messenger is right, or not. If he has a form of godliness, he will deny that Power to do those miracles. If he is a messenger from God, he’ll not only speak of it, but he’ll have it; to produce it, and to show that the God that he talks about is with him and in him.

65 He said, “If God was with us, where is all of His mighty miracles? Cause, we understand…” Listen how Scriptural, Gideon was. In otherwise, he said, “If…We understand that God is a great God of mighty workings. He’s a great God of miracles. And if He is for us, and if He is with us, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever, where can I see His miracles? Where can I see this God in action? Where is He at, if He is for us?”

66 The mighty man of valour could refer back to the old Word, and know It’s right, because he knowed this, that, God is a supernatural Being. And wherever a supernatural Being is, He’ll do supernatural signs, because the supernatural is in Him. You just can’t get out of it.

67 How can you stand in the face of wind, without having wind blowing? How can you get in water, without being wet? Water is wet. That’s the chemical of it. It’s wet! And when you get in water, you’re going to get wet. Right!

68 And when you get in the Presence of God, the supernatural, there is going to be supernatural signs and supernatural workings of a supernatural God.
