Understanding The Anointing Part 3

Understanding The Anointing Part 3

Tuesday November 1, 2022

God can be with us and yet we fail to acknowledge Him; fail to respond to His prompting. 

Judges 6: 6-10 So Israel was reduced to starvation by the Midianites. Then the Israelites cried to the Lord for help. 7 When the cried out to the Lord because of Midian, 8 the Lord sent a prophet to the Israelites. He said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: I brought you up out of slavery in Egypt. 9I rescued you from the Egyptians and from all who oppressed you. I drove out your enemies and gave you their land. 10 I told you, ‘I am the Lord your God. You must not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you now live.’ But you have not listened to Me.”

 To get back on track, we must ask the question Gideon asked.

Judges 6:11-13 The n the angel of the Lord came and sat down beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon, son of Joash, was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. 12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” 13 “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.”
