Backgrounds, each with various goals, interests, and abilities. Yet we gather in community. In thy name, guide us, gladden us, fill us with thy spirit. So we pray that thou wouldst bless the strangers that are within our streets.

00:00:29.000 - 00:00:55.340

We pray that thou wouldst bless those who mourn, give unto those who mourn the oil of joy for the ashes of the world. Let thy special blessing rest upon our pastor. We appeal to thy omnipotence and our omniscience and thy omnipresence. We know that God is there wherever he is. Thank you, God.

00:00:55.340 - 00:01:04.340

Be with us now as we listen. Help us to be faithful in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen, Jesus.

Let me pray. [inaudible] [inaudible] actions the thing that has been done this period that's realizing that I know

00:01:38.420 - 00:02:04.940

even our thoughts are far off. God knows what I have slayed as the creed of the master of clean hearts renewing us to right spirit may we come to thee the master seeking thy blessing and to do thy will while on earth we stay. We have to bless upon those who are among us who [?]

00:02:04.940 - 00:02:15.220

I say, come ye all that are in the meeting, and ye will give rest. Help us through the Mass to come to thee in faith, look into thee for thy word is true

00:02:15.220 - 00:02:24.380

and a light unto our path. We ask a special blessing upon thee, who will spread to us a better life. Give us open hearts, and let us be ready to see thy word,

00:02:24.380 - 00:02:33.620

for thy word is true for our wounded soul. Bless us all, we assemble here today, and a special blessing upon us, we ask upon us to assemble in the cross.

00:02:33.620 - 00:02:51.660

Even while he's away, dear Master, may he not even hurt the harm upon us, nor leave him safely back to be told to defeat our will and righteousness. Take charge of us and sacrifice for this hour, dear Master, that we may, what we do may be done from our hearts and not from our heads,

00:02:51.660 - 00:03:05.480

and that our name may get the glory and the joy out of slavery. These and all the blessed of years, in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, and for his sake, Amen. [Band Warms Up with Background Chatter]

00:12:05.440 - 00:13:03.040

[MUSIC] [Music] [Audience chatter] But one day the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the oak tree at Orpah.

00:13:03.040 - 00:13:31.120

On the farm of Joas, the Abiezrite, Joas' son Gideon had been threshing wheat by hand in the bottom of a grape press, the pit where grapes were pressed to make wine, for he was hiding from the Midianites. The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, "Mighty soldier, the Lord is with you." "Stranger," Gideon replied, "if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us?"

00:13:31.120 - 00:14:11.720

"Where are all the miracles our ancestors have told us about, such as when God brought them out of Egypt?" "Now the Lord has thrown us away and has let the Midianites completely ruin us." Then the Lord turned to him and said, "I will make you strong. Go and save Israel from the Midianites. I'm sending you." But Gideon replied, "Sir, how can I save Israel? My family is the poorest in the whole tribe of Manasseh,

00:14:11.720 - 00:14:27.420

And I am the least thought of in my entire family. Whereupon the Lord said to him, "But Jehovah will be with you, and you shall quickly destroy the Midnight Horde."

00:14:27.420 - 00:14:46.220

Gideon replied, "If it is really true that you are going to help me like that, then do some miracle to prove it. Prove that it is really Jehovah who is talking to me."

00:14:46.220 - 00:15:04.620

Amen. In the 1920's, Roger Bettson, an eminent economist, made a prediction that the greatest invention within 50 years

00:15:04.620 - 00:15:49.960

would not be in the field of the material, but rather it would be spiritual. I am hoping that if Mr. Babson's prediction has not come true, that it will come true very soon. For if it doesn't, soon it will be too late. Dr. Sproul had an upstanding woman from India the other morning on his schedule program, and he asked her, "What did she think about America's image after the watergate?"

00:15:49.960 - 00:16:16.960

She said, "I believe America will come through." He said, "What do you hold as to the future of America, or what is America's greatest need?" She said, "Frankly, America's greatest need is spiritualism. America is too materialistic and too money hungry."

00:16:16.960 - 00:16:59.540

I'd like for us to expect a miracle this morning as we attempt to bump this summer slot. In the book of Judges, the fourth chapter, I shall read verse 14. Judges. I'm reading from the Bible, Living Bible, paraphrase.

00:16:59.540 - 00:17:32.480

"But when they cried to the Lord, He sent them a Savior. [BLANK_AUDIO] Of this fourth chapter, Israel's leader at that time, the one who was responsible for bringing the people back to God,

00:17:32.480 - 00:17:55.160

was Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lepidus. She held a court at a place now called Deborah's Palm Tree between Ramel and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim. And the Israelites came to her to decide their dispute.

00:17:55.160 - 00:18:12.480

Deborah under the palm tree. The sixth chapter of Judges-- I shall read verse 14. Then the Lord turned to him and said, I will make you strong.

00:18:12.480 - 00:18:28.840

Go and save Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you. I trust that you will be inspired as much by these two texts as I have been, and the reading of these texts,

00:18:28.840 - 00:18:57.860

and long years of research in this area, I trust that we shall see a new concept concerning mission. Men are called to missions too. In the first scripture which I read,

00:18:57.860 - 00:19:41.860

had to do with Deborah. Deborah was a charismatic leader with clairvoyant power. That is, she was gifted with red sensitivity or intuitive power. And this great leader came to the leadership of her people in difficult days. Now you and I know about business cycles. In 1883, America experienced the Great Depression.

00:19:41.860 - 00:20:26.360

In 1929, in October, America experienced another business cycle. I should know, for I was in Virginia Union, having enrolled in September, thousands of miles from home with an empty billfold. Another business cycle. We have business cycles and we appreciate what it means. It registers with us. But I would have you know this morning that there are religious cycles.

00:20:26.360 - 00:21:07.160

A religious cycle is known when men go away or depart or apostatize from God. The word apostasy has the same root as the word apostle, but one is sent away and the apostate goes away. And God is very unhappy when humanity will go away from him. When man goes away from God, it leaves God very unhappy.

00:21:07.160 - 00:21:57.260

And God has to apply pressure to bring man back to him. And so God in this passage this morning had permitted the children of Israel to fall into the hands of a very cruel army general by the name of Sister. They fell into his hands. He came up against the Israelites with 900 chariots of iron. They were overwhelmingly outnumbered. They came up with camels ready for distant transportation.

00:21:57.260 - 00:22:38.260

They came up as grasshoppers, symbolizing the destructiveness of their visit and also their mercy. Grasshoppers. At this time, the hearts of Israel became tainted. And a woman, a leader, a magnetic leader, stepped on the scene and told the captain of Israel's forces to get together from the tribes 10,000 men

00:22:38.260 - 00:23:05.260

and meet the enemy at the point designated. And God has told me that He would give you the victory. Yeah, this red woman appropriated the victory previous to the actual engagement in Congress. They hadn't gone anywhere.

00:23:05.260 - 00:23:34.140

Yet she told this general, this captain, that God has given you the victory. But he said to her, "I won't go except you go with me." She said, "I'll go with you, but I want to remind you that if I go with you, That God will give the victory to Israel, but a woman will get the credit

00:23:34.140 - 00:23:55.760

Well, I'll tell you she must have been looking down the line with some type of tab on power How did she know that God was going to deliver Israel at this time? How did she know that God had told this man to fight Israel's battle? God had talked to us somewhere along the line

00:23:55.760 - 00:24:22.760

And then she went with this great captain called Bairack. And when they gathered the 10,000 together at the mountain, the Kaysan River was there. And the 900 shacks of iron were there. But I thank God that there was also a mighty God there.

00:24:22.760 - 00:24:50.760

And she told this captain, said, "Look, for this is a time for action." Well, I believe in prayer. I know the Lord will answer prayer. I've got to have the Lord, for I just can't make it by myself. Every day, every day I pray and pray and ask the Lord to help me, for I just can't make it by myself.

00:24:50.760 - 00:25:05.760

But this is not a time for prayer. She said, "Now is time for action." Get up! Go to the river. There's a man down there who has 900 shacks of iron.

00:25:05.760 - 00:25:33.760

When they got to the river and faced General Sissler, the Lord rained down a rainstorm. And the 900 tribes of Ann could not compete with the Russian Kaysan river. The same thing that they had depended upon as a source of strength proved to be a hindrance to the enemy.

00:25:33.760 - 00:26:13.000

The chariots fought and the Israelites went in and killed every last one of the enemy except John's sister. And when he saw the battle had gone against him, he jumped out of his chair and ran away and went into a land where a woman was in a tent. And when he got to her tent, he told her, he said, "Let me come in, and if anybody should come to the tent seeking me, you stand in the door and you tell them that you haven't seen me." And this woman was named JL.

00:26:13.000 - 00:26:25.960

And when JL had given-- had heard her instructions coming from General Sisler, she went in and she said, sir, I perceive that you are weary from your journey.

00:26:25.960 - 00:26:34.360

Little violence in this. Come on in to my tent, and I want to give you a glass of warm milk. Oh, then we'll get it together.

00:26:34.360 - 00:26:45.520

There's a little violence in this. And I'll give you a glass of warm milk. And then when she gave him a glass of warm milk, having been tired and weary from the journey,

00:26:45.520 - 00:27:03.360

he immediately fell asleep in the woman's tent. And she got her hammer and took a tent peg while he was asleep and put the tent peg in his ear and drove it into the ground. And that was the last of Joan's sisters.

00:27:03.360 - 00:27:21.120

We're all in staff in love and war, but this is war here. And God has given them the victory to a woman. And in her poetical expression, in the fifth chapter of this same book, which is the oldest poetry in the Bible,

00:27:21.120 - 00:27:29.240

and it was written by a woman. You wasn't Bible scholars. Get busy. The oldest poetry in the Bible was the fifth chapter

00:27:29.240 - 00:27:43.080

of Judges, and this woman, Deborah, gave us this composition. And in the fifth chapter and the 20th verse, she waxed poetical and said the stars in their courses

00:27:43.080 - 00:27:57.000

fought against General Cicero. Well, that's nature, and that's God controlling nature. God doesn't have to break the laws of nature for the benefit of the philosophers and the scientists.

00:27:57.000 - 00:28:12.280

God doesn't have to break the laws of nature, but God used weather to defeat the enemy and to bring victory to the Israelites. Weather is a deciding factor, not only in our economy,

00:28:12.280 - 00:28:32.520

but it's a deciding factor in war. When God played this game against General Sisera with a rainstorm, he was handicapped and put out of business. This next aspect, Gideon did not let his faith

00:28:32.520 - 00:28:54.520

Let his faith, let it go. Gideon was a great leader, but he was a little timid and slightly on the shy side. And God wanted Gideon to deliver his people. And Gideon was afraid to go unless God would give him a sign.

00:28:54.520 - 00:29:23.520

And I like Gideon's attitude. Gideon said to the Lord, when the Lord said, "I'm sending you. I want you to effect deliverance for my people." Gideon looked at the Lord and said, "You woke up the wrong man. I'm an obscure man. I'm inconspicuous. I'm unknown. My family is the poorest family, and I'm the least in my father's house."

00:29:23.520 - 00:29:37.520

what he was saying that, "Lord, if you send me, it's not going to take an overcoat to make me a victim." I like his attitude, but Gideon wanted to be sure that God would give him the victory.

00:29:37.520 - 00:29:50.520

And Gideon had a vision that God was with him, but he wanted to prove God. He expected a miracle. You and I today need to expect a miracle.

00:29:50.520 - 00:30:04.020

We are entering upon a great mission. We are entering upon a great evangelistic mission. We are entering upon a great bustling mission. We need to prove God.

00:30:04.020 - 00:30:21.060

We need to know that God is with us and God will be with us. And God said to Gideon, "I'm with you." And Gideon said, "If you are with me, I want you to prove that you are with me." He said I want to take a fleece and I want to spread it out on the floor

00:30:21.060 - 00:30:41.880

And if this fleece is wet And the ground is dry And I want you to show me that you will You know, somebody said well, there are heavy Jews in Palestine, but he had two sides to the mirror

00:30:42.160 - 00:31:07.160

He said God I want you to let the miracle come in this form and if the fleece is dry and the ground is wet or if the ground is wet and the fleece is dry, I know that you sinned. That when Gideon went to this demonstration with God, the heavy dew in Palestine was to

00:31:07.160 - 00:31:22.480

to the extent that he could rain water out of the fleece. And when he went out the next time, he found out that the ground was dry, was wet under the fleece, and the fleece was dry.

00:31:22.480 - 00:31:34.960

And Gideon said, by this little group, I know that you're with me. And the Lord said, Gideon, you're not ready yet. I want you to go down there to the camp of the enemy tonight,

00:31:34.960 - 00:31:49.600

And they're going to be gathered there telling some news. And Gideon and his buddies went down to the camp. And two men were discussing. One said to the other, last night I had a dream.

00:31:49.600 - 00:32:02.920

And I saw a barley cake. And it rolled into the camp, our camp. And it leveled the camp to the ground. And his buddy said to him, I can interpret it.

00:32:02.920 - 00:32:23.560

I can make a claim this is none other than Israel and Gideon, for they are called barley cake. And that means that God has given to Israel the victory because of the vision that Gideon had seen.

00:32:23.560 - 00:32:34.100

He went back and told his people, we have it all in the bag. We have something good going for us. God has given us a victory.

00:32:34.100 - 00:32:49.980

Not he will give us a victory, but he has given us a victory. And Gideon gathered together his men, 32,000. And the Lord looked at him and said, Gideon, the people are too many.

00:32:49.980 - 00:33:06.420

He said, test them. See whether they are willing to sacrifice. And Gideon tested the 32,000. And they lost about 20,000 or so.

00:33:06.420 - 00:33:18.020

They couldn't stand the pressure. And Gideon put them to another test. And God said to them, you've got 10,000 now, and there's still too many.

00:33:18.020 - 00:33:39.740

I want you to go into battle not boasting of your own superiority or your own strength, but I want you to put your faith in me. Take them down to the water. And those that lack water, like as a dog, set them aside.

00:33:39.740 - 00:33:54.860

And the others, you dismiss them. There's a large lesson emerging from this for you and for me today. We need guards kicked on.

00:33:54.860 - 00:34:10.700

Guards kicked on. Gideon said, "When I counted heads, I found that 300 heads left water like gold." And he set them aside, and by the 300,

00:34:10.700 - 00:34:28.840

God said, "I will deliver Israel." He took this big army, and it was strategy versus strength. You don't have to have all the strength in the world If you resort sometimes to strategy,

00:34:28.840 - 00:34:42.140

strategy versus ten. 300 kicked army men went in battle against the overwhelmingly large numbers and came out with a victory.

00:34:42.140 - 00:35:01.600

God sold the enemy into the hands of Israel. All that I could say in my conclusion is [Pause] And God honored his leadership.

00:35:01.600 - 00:35:27.240

And I have a conclusion here that's better than I could make. It's one that's superior to any conclusion that I would make. My first point was God hides his power in his mighty servants. My second point was God releases his power through his servants.

00:35:27.240 - 00:35:54.300

And my third point is, and final point, God rewards faithfully. God rewards faithfully. And Dr. George W. Truitt said it better than I could say it. Some years ago, there was in the church of which I am pastor, a modern school teacher, one of the most devoted of all young women.

00:35:54.300 - 00:36:19.500

One Sunday morning, when I had finished my sermon, she followed me into my study to talk with me, her face all covered with tears. She was manifestly in much distress. I said, "What is the trouble?" "Whoa," she said, "it's your sermon this morning." And then I asked, "What about the sermon?"

00:36:19.500 - 00:36:36.860

She replied, "You preach that it is the duty of God's people with their money or their lives or both to go to the ends of the earth, witnessing for Christ." "Yes," I said, "I stand by that teaching always

00:36:36.860 - 00:36:50.380

and everywhere." Then the young teacher said, I have decided under your sermon today that I'm going to China as a missionary. And I said to her, I would not like to discourage you,

00:36:50.380 - 00:37:04.100

but you must remember the fate of your family with the poor health and with the tuberculosis defeats which have come to some of your people. Oh, she cried.

00:37:04.100 - 00:37:16.020

You must not discourage me. I have reached my decision under your sermon. The outcome was that she went on with her application to the mission board.

00:37:16.020 - 00:37:26.980

And I warned her that the medical committee and the board would not recommend that she be sent to China. Such was their recommendation.

00:37:26.980 - 00:37:40.100

They said, you must not go. Go back home. She went back home. She got together a little property, a small amount of property that her parents had left

00:37:40.100 - 00:37:44.100

her. And she said, "I know what I'll do. I haven't been defeated. I'll take this small amount of property that my parents left and I'll sell it and send

00:37:44.100 - 00:37:54.860

a missionary to China." She said, "I have a small teaching stipend and I'll use that to help send this missionary to China." this small amount of property that my parents left and I'll sell it and send a missionary to China.

00:37:54.860 - 00:38:31.500

I said I have a small teaching stipend and I'll use that to help send this missionary to China. The man was sent. She defrayed his extension and when he came back to preach in America while on furlough he gave a glowing report of how God had used him in China and saving thousands of souls and she said there's my joy, there's my joy!

00:38:31.500 - 00:38:59.140

In that I gave to this man to send him God has given me my joy. There's another illustration dr. Truett brings in here about a preacher who wanted to preach he was not adequately equipped to preach he had a handicap and this preacher was discouraged by the deacons of this church they said brother you're not

00:38:59.140 - 00:39:16.460

adequately equipped to preach he said God has called me to preach and I want to preach he would not listen to the deacon he went on and he told the deacon a beautiful story about what the Lord had said to him. And Deacon said, Saturday, at this small country church,

00:39:16.460 - 00:39:22.860

we're going to have a business meeting. Brother Harris, you don't know anything about that. No Saturday business meeting. You heard it in the reading.

00:39:22.860 - 00:39:34.940

Oh, Saturday, we're going to have a business meeting. Tell the people at the church what you told me. And that Saturday, he was there. And he told the church what was on his heart in the business

00:39:34.940 - 00:39:55.580

meeting. Finally, one of them said, "We're still convinced that you're not the right man. You don't have the preparation." But somebody said, "Let's put a little money together and pool it and send him to school for at least a few months, one year."

00:39:55.580 - 00:40:25.780

They pooled their monies and set this preacher to school. And Dr. John Clow went to barn fields as a missionary, and when he preached on one occasion, he had 2,300 souls on his hands. When he came back to America at the American Baptist Convention in the north, this church rejoiced. God has given us our reward.

00:40:25.780 - 00:40:41.340

Let me go on with this. Businessmen who feel that your efforts have been in vain, don't give up the ship. You, when you give your money, God

00:40:41.340 - 00:40:57.860

has given you the ability to get wealth. And when you give your money to the church to hold up the arms of the pastor, you get jewelry. This is another observation here.

00:40:57.860 - 00:41:10.540

Old people, whose boy was converted, an old person, some plain old people, whose boy was converted out on a little farm, and later along he ventured to tell them

00:41:10.540 - 00:41:26.940

that he felt that God had called him to preach. And the parents got behind him with their funds, monies, and sent him away. And he became a great evangelist by the name of Dwight Lyman

00:41:26.940 - 00:41:41.380

Moody. And Mr. Moody put one foot on the continent of Europe and one foot on America and rocked the continent together. And when they gave Mr. Moody high honors

00:41:41.380 - 00:41:58.140

in one of the New England states at a great meeting, Mr. Moody said, you praise indeed. But that mother that gave the small amount of money that she took from him of her apron is the one to be free.

00:41:58.140 - 00:42:19.660

She invested in Mr. Moody, the Boston Shukla, and he brought two continents together. This is the final as I go on here with this. Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

00:42:19.660 - 00:42:46.620

Take my hand, take my feet, let them be consecrated, Lord, to Thee. I make a plea this morning on the value of the vitality of a vision in victory.

00:42:46.620 - 00:42:56.400

If you've had a vision of the Lord, the work of the Lord, go out and take over. - Amen. - Amen. [inaudible]
