Into the Enemy’s Camp
Judges 7:8-15
His companion answered, “Your dream can mean only one thing—God has given Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite, victory over Midian and all its allies!” 15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship before the Lord. Then he returned to the Israelite camp and shouted, “Get up! For the Lord has given you victory over the Midianite hordes!” Judges 7:14-15
- Worship enables us to destroy what the enemy intends to use to destroy us
- Gideon probably felt confused, discouraged and filled with doubt
- Victims never walk in victory
- The grace of God will meet us exactly where we are, but He loves us too much to let us stay that way
- Purah = branch or coverage; one who bears fruit

- When we worship, we start thinking like God thinks and we start speaking like God speaks
- Worship enables us to destroy what the enemy intends to use to destroy us
