The Lord Is With You In The Battle! (4 of 6)
Series: The Lord Is With You

Judges 6:11-8:21
INTRO: God has helped some of the most unlikely people to be victors in the spiritual battles we all face! How does God pick people to fight great battles for Him? What is it that God looks for when looking for a champion? Does He look for great talents, great minds, great abilities, great standing in society, great pedigrees, or great names?

Why did God pick a Moses who by his own admission couldn't speak well? Why did God pick sickly and fearful Timothy? WHY DID GOD PICK A SHAKY AND FEARFUL GIDEON WHO BY ANYONE'S STANDARDS WAS SEVERELY INSECURE?

THEY WERE committed to God and His people! They were wiling to serve no matter the resistance, they were quick to repent when shown their own wrong, they were concerned more about others than themselves, they were faithful in spite of setbacks, and they were not quitters though at times they felt like quitting!
