THREE MENTALITIES THAT LIMITS

Let’s Learn From Gideon

Judges 6:12 The LORD's angel appeared to him there and said, "The LORD is with you, brave and mighty man!"

Judges 6:13 Gideon said to him, "If I may ask, sir, why has all this happened to us if the LORD is with us? What happened to all the wonderful things that our fathers told us the LORD used to do---how he brought them out of Egypt? The LORD has abandoned us and left us to the mercy of the Midianites."

Judges 6:14 Then the LORD ordered him, "Go with all your great strength and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I myself am sending you."

Judges 6:15 Gideon replied, "But Lord, how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least important member of my family."

1. POWERLESSNESS MENTALITY

Judges 6:15 Gideon replied, "But Lord, how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least important member of my family."

POWERLESSNESS is the root to all negative emotions. 1. Guilt- When you feel powerless to do anything about your past.2. Fear- When you feel powerless to do anything about your future.3. Depressed- When you feel powerless to change your present.4. Anger- When you feel like the people in your life will not change.5. Weak Life – When you experience all of the above.

2. UNQUALIFIED MENTALITY

"If only people wouldn't have treated me like that, I can do it" “If only my problem was anything other than this, I could handle it.““If only, if only….

Judges 6:15 But Lord, Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? I am the least in my family.

3. DISTANT GOD MENTALITY

Judges 6:13 But sir, Gideon replied, "if the LORD is with us,why has all this happened to us?

Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said,'Did not the LORD bring us up out of Egypt?

' But now the LORD has abandoned usand put us into the hand of Midian."

CHANGE YOUR VISIONEMBRACE YOUR MISSION

Ephesians 1:18 I ask that your minds may be opened to see his light, so

that you will know what is the hope to which he has called you,…

Ephesians 1:19 and how very great is his power at work in us who believe.

ROMANS 12:2

•Romans 12:2 NIV

• Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-- his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Philippians 2:5

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus”

A SIGN CHANGED GIDEON’s MIND

“Judges 6:17 Gideon replied, "If you are truly going to help me, show me a sign to prove that it

is really the LORD speaking to me.”

Judges 6:37 I'll place some wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the wool

while all the ground is dry, then I'll know that you will rescue Israel through me, as you said."

A SIGN CHANGED GIDEON’s MIND

•Judges 6:39 Then Gideon said to God, "Don't be angry with me. But let me ask one more thing. Let me make one more test with the wool. Let the wool be dry while all the ground is covered with dew." •Judges 6:40 During the night, God did what Gideon asked. The wool was dry, but all the ground was covered with dew.

GIDEON’S SIGN IS A PROPHETIC VISION OF OUR EXCHANGED LIFE WITH JESUS

•2Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

THE EXCHANGED LIFE

• JESUS died your death so You will live His life•HE bore your sins so that you bear His Righteousness•HE suffered your curse so that you will enjoy His blessings

CHANGE YOUR MIND TODAYYOU ARE NOT POWERLESS

1. BELIEVE that the ALL_POWERFUL ONE, JESUS is INSIDE You! (Colossians 1:26-27)

2. EMBRACE the truth that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but POWER, … (2 Timothy 1:7).

3. WORK OUT that power in you. Ephesians 3:20 says God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all

you can ask or think ACCORDING TO THE POWER

THAT IS AT WORK WITHIN YOU. 4. RECOGNIZE AND HONOR the Holy Spirit in you. Acts

1:8 says, “YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT comes upon you...”

CHANGE YOUR MIND TODAYUNQUALIFIED BUT YOU ARE MADE QUALIFIED

2CORINTHIANS 3:5 NLT2 It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.

John 14:12 "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.

CHANGE YOUR MIND TODAYGOD IS NOT FAR AWAY, HE LIVES INSIDE YOU

Hebrews 13:5b For God has said, "I will never leave you; I will never abandon you.“

Romans 8:11 NLT The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.

Romans 8:39 NLT …nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

LET US DECLARE

Today, I declare that I have enough power to do the mission assigned to me by God.I am qualified because HE qualified me.I trust the LORD with all my heart, because He has never broken HIS promise.HE is with me, HE is in me and HE works through me.I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.in JESUS’ Name, Amen!

John 17:4

"I have glorified You on the earth.

I have finished the work which

You have given Me to do.”

GOD IS GLORIFIED WHEN YOUR MISSION IS FULFILLED

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
