jump into today's message.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's really interesting because it is the time of the
Book of Judges, and it seems our nation seems to
be in that time. The common theme of the Book
of Judges was in Israel. In those days, Israel had
no king and everyone did what seemed right in their
own eyes. It even bled into First Samuel from the
Book of Judges to First Samuel. If you know the
Old Testament basically, which I love the Old Testament. I

(00:44):
love the New Testament. But in the Old Testament, the
whole first five books was all about a creation. It
was about law, it was about order, it was about covenant,
blessing and inheritance of Israel being that special.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Nation that got picked, and all of the nations of.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
The earth were blessed through Israel as a result of that,
and as a result of that, here we are today.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Because of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Came through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and
so on and so forth, and then you have the
promises of God. Because the people of Israel had now
become so numerous that they were now in captivity under
the Egyptians. The Egyptians held them in slavery and bondage
for over four hundred years. And while they were in
slavery and bondage for that long period of time, God says,

(01:28):
I hear, I see, and so I have come down
and say He sends a deliverer, kind of like a judge,
whose name is Moses. He drew him up out of
the water. That's where he came from, because he was
sent down the Nile River. He was Hebrew, though, and
this was his DNA, and so he was God's man.
And while he was in the desert for forty years,
God picks him out of the desert because he ran

(01:50):
away from his call on his life.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
And God uses him to.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Rally the people of Israel to confront the evil system
of Pharaoh and lead the people out of each and
into the promised land. But we all know that for
forty years they wander in the desert. For forty years,
while They're wandering in the desert for forty years because
God wouldn't let them inherit the land because of the
way that they were living and because of the way
that they rejected his promises.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
So now what you have is you have them.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Through the desert, and now the next generation gets to
inherit the promised land, and that's Joshua. Joshua and Caleb
were the two leaders that had faith. The other ten
spies had no faith. They were fearful. So what does
God do? God allows Joshua to lead the generation into
the promise that God had for them.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
So where do they go? Now they inherit, They go
over the Jordan. Now they are in Canaan.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And while they are in Canaan and in this promised land,
that generation fights. Remember seven times around around Jericho, shout
the walls down, the walls fall down, right that generation,
somebody say amen? And then now what we have is
the new generation is the generation of the Book of Judges.
They did not fight, They did not know how to fight.

(03:00):
So what does God do? He leaves just enough enemies
in the land in order for them to learn how
to conquer the land, in order so that he could
develop some toughness in them. But during this period of
time in the Book of Judges, everyone did what seemed
right in their own eyes. Nobody allowed God to be
their king. They said, this is the way I see it.

(03:20):
You see it that way. Well, that's the way you
see it. You see it that way, Greg, that's the
way you see it. You see it that way, That's
the way you see it. But I'll live the way
I see it. You live the way you see it.
So we all live the way that we want to live.
And that's what God Israel into trouble. And so now
God does the cycle of destruction.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
The first one is this. The first thing that happens
is okay, we love you.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
And then they are on disobedience. So they disobey God
and live the way that they want to live. And
how many of us know that their disobedience comes down
to three different gods, Astrara, Baale, and Molech, and all
of these gods were There were evil, detestable practices that
went along with this worship of God. There was infanticide,
there was a prostitution, couts, there was everything that you

(04:03):
can think of. This is sacrificing their children in the fire.
They did that in order for the blessing of the rain.
We need rain to come down. So they burn their
kids in the fire. This was crazy back then, and
God says, why would you even do that. I'm not
even I'm merciful, I'm loving, I'm slow to anger, abounding
in love. And they decided that that's what they wanted
to do. So then they go from the disobedience to destruction.

(04:25):
So God brings destruction because why he wants to discipline
them so he can get their attention. And finally when
they turned back to God, God, what does he do?
He sends a deliver who's a deliverer. The deliver is
a judge, not a gown and a gavel, judge Judy,
not Wopner kind of judges that I've already told you about.
It is a judge who was a military ruler and
someone that was available to be used by God and said,

(04:46):
here am I send me?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
And the Lord talks to them. The Lord uses them.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Sometimes he needed to convince them, just like Gideon. Sometimes
they had some problems and like Samson, you know I'm
talking about it. And sometimes they were awkward like a hood.
And sometimes they were somebody else, like a woman or
two women like Debra and Yael. God was using these
people for such a time as this, in order to
raise up a nation to stand up and fight for

(05:10):
what was right and the things that was right with God.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Somebody say, amen.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
So last week I had this pool and it was
the threshing floor in the threshing in the wine press.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
And that's Gideon getting call.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
God calls Gideon, and Gideon says, finally yes, after some convincing,
after the Angel of the Lord gets into the wine press,
or watches from the wine press, after a fleece turns
dry and a fleece becomes wet, and he needs more convincing.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Come on, Anyboddy, sound like Gideon right now?

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh God, if it's really you, God, let there be
a parking stall for me right in front of Kmart
in row number two.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Then God gives it to you. God.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
If it's really really you, Oh God, let it make
sure that when I walk through that store. Then all
of a sudden someone says and calls me by name,
and someone does. God, if it's really really you, whatever
it is, how much more convincing do we need? Judges
Chapter seven, verse one are you ready.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Okay here, I'm ready online? Are you ready? Online? Is ready?
Here we go? Judges, Chapter seven, Verse one.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
So Jerubaal, that is, Gideon and his army got up
early and went as far as the Spring of Herod,
and the armies of midian were camped north of them
in the valley near the hill of Mora. And then
the Lord said to Gideon, you have too many.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Warriors with you.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
If I let all of you fight the Midianites, the
Israelites will boast to me that they saved themselves by
their own strength. Therefore, tell the people, whoever is timid
or afraid, may leave this.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Mountain and go home.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
So twenty two thousand of them went home, leaving only
ten thousand of them to fight. When you look at
this whole thing, when you think about the convincing that
Gideon needed, Giddon needed to be convinced to fight. G
didn't need to be convinced to stand up and be
the guy right. So, all of a sudden, Gideon's got
this leadership gift. He's got the anointing of God, and

(07:11):
now he can rally people.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
He can gather people.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
He's got thirty two thousand, thirty two thousand men who
decide that they're gonna help fight.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
They're not trained warriors. They're farmers.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
They're maybe merchants, they're they're agricultural people. They don't have
a lot of pitchforks in their day. They in fact,
during that time there wasn't a lot of iron. But
the other the armies had them what they had. They
had a hole, they had a pitchfork, they had some
farming implements, and so, oh we got a fight.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
So they would heat up the fire, they'd throw it
in there.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
They bank bank, bank, bank. Okay, here's my sword, you
wanta talk about? They show up, Oh that's a big spear. Ever, bra,
how you did that?

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I just file them? Not at and then anyway.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
So they would take their plowshares and turn them into swords.
That's the kind of warriors that they were. They were
really they were really not warriors. There were really men
who were called to fight, and they were farmers during
this time. So now God says, you got thirty two thousand,
thirty two thousand, and they all show up, and God says,
if you scared, if anybody scared, you can all go home.
Tell them getting tell them to go home. First of all,

(08:07):
I'll be like, wait, wait, God, I can use the
scared ones too.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
What are you talking about. Hey, there's strengthen numbers come on.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Strengthen numbers come on, Golden State Warriors, strengthened numbers hashtag. Right,
you're telling me that you want me to say goodbye
to anybody that's scared and they can go home.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
You know why because God set precedence in the book
of Deuteronomy, when God already said to the people of Israel,
if you scared, several hundred years before, please tell them
to go home. In Deuteronomy, chapter twenty, verse eight, have
a look at this says this, It says.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Then the officers will also say, is.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Anyone afraid or worried, no doubt, but if you are,
you may go home. You don't have to, but you
may go home before you frighten everyone else. You don't
have to go. Everybody's dealing with fear, everybody's dealing with
a level of anxiety. Everybody's dealing with something. Right now,
I say, all of us, collectively, maybe separately, either running

(09:00):
on ninety percent of.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Our mental you know, our total mental faculties.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
All of us in this room, or maybe just a
little bit less, maybe some of us a little bit
less than that. It doesn't mean you have to go home,
but you're given the option. But guess what, you know,
who took the option? Twenty two thousand warriors took the option.
They were and they took the Hello Kitty lunch pills
and they were out of here. You know I'm talking
about this, and were gone, we got let's go, let's go, and.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
They left and then left getting alone and getting is like, God,
what are you doing? What are you doing? I didn't
sign up for this. I signed up for Mighty Man
of God. You know I'm signed up.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I signed up all and all of a sudden you
start taking stuff away you've ever been there before, all
of a sudden, Oh God, I just followed you.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh God.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I finally decided that I'm not gonna live that way.
Oh God, I've finally decided that I'm gonna be a
real disciple, not just a casual Christian, you know what
I'm talking about. And then I go follow you and
all of these things happen. You take that away from me.
Oh God, I finally said I'm gonna keep myself pure.
And then there she went or there he went, Oh God,
I finally said that I'm gonna start tithing.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
And then when that money, and then I went that job.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
You know what I'm talking about, Welcome to Christianity. Well,
it's not about you, and it's all about him, and it.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Is in this process.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Thank God number one, that there is a purpose in
the threshing. There is a purpose in the threshing. What
am I talking about threshing? You like, what are you
talking about?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Freshing? Nobody threshes. I know what a thresher is, but
I don't know what a fresher is. Freshing, You know, freshing.
Everybody freshes every now and then. So the thresh.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
So it's when you bring in the sheaves of wheat
and you put it on the the This is my
pretend platform. They stop looking at my backside, you guys.
You guys are looking over here their mind. No, I'm
just kidding their mind anyway. So you know how you thresh.
You put all the wheat, you bring in the sheaves
of wheat, you carrying them, you carry them, You carry
all the bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
We will come rejoicing. Oh, some of you hold anyway.
Then you would take.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
The wheat and you'd put it on the threshing floor
and then you would thresh it.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
You would stomp on it. You would, you would, you
know if.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You had those guys are sophisticated. They got two oxen
and they've got a sled and they're crushing it. It's
basically a place where you separate and crush the kernel
from the stalk, because the colonel is edible, but the
stalk is not. And so now that you've got kernels
on the ground, then you take it to another place
where you would start to take this winnowing fork and
you would winnow it and you would throw what was

(11:30):
left in the air and you wave it like you
just don't care.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Somebody say, oh yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, And then the wind would blow it,
and the wind would blow it, and then the colonels
would come down to the ground and then you can
start to use that. But now what's beginning to happen
is get in. God says, get in. I don't need that.
I'm gonna have to thresh some things away from you.
I'm gonna have to thresh through this army. I'm gonna
have to thresh through your ideas. I'm gonna have to

(11:55):
thresh through your philosophies. Let me thresh through. Let the
Word of God do that for you. Somebody say amen,
because you know why, Because there's a purpose in the threshing.
I think right now, maybe our lives are being threshed. Well,
is it possible that America is being threshed? Is it
possible that, even though God shed his grace on the end,
God blesses America. Is it possible that, aside from a
political race, that we have gone and strayed so far

(12:17):
from Him anyway as a nation, not maybe as the
individual's here in this building right now. Is it possible
that God is threshing us right now? But let me
tell you. If he's threshing you, it's because he loves you.
And there is a purpose in that threshing. Find the
silver lining, find the purpose in your threshing, and I
think you'd be all right. Somebody say, amen, I'm preaching

(12:39):
twenty percent better than you're responding.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Woo, Come on, right now, come on, listen to this,
Listen to this.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Number one. There is a purpose to the threshing. God says,
I don't need that. God says, you no longer need this.
God says, you no longer need that. Give that to me,
because when we begin to allow him to strip away
things from us, when he allows to use things that

(13:06):
am part of our identity, that part of this is
who I am, or this is how I've built myself
up to look like.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
These are the things that God says that you no
longer have used for that.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
I love it that the Bible, the writer says in
Hebrews chapter twelve, verse one. It may not be on
the screen, but it's right here in my head, It
says this. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a
great cloud of witnesses, the writer says, let us throw
off every weight that slows us down and the sin
that so easily tangles us up.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Let's get rid of this stuff. Let's get rid of
the things.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Let's get rid of the twenty two What is the
twenty two thousand in your life that you no longer
need in order for you to run the race that
God called you to run in Jesus' name? So God
says you don't need that twenty two thousand. Let me
take that away from you, and all of a sudden,
if I'm getting I'm going, God, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Oh my gosh, how are we gonna do this?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
So now what would I do if I was getting
I turned to the twenty two thousands.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
We got this.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
It's all good, nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
They were scared.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
They would have infected us, just like the ten Spies.
Remember we read our Bibles when we little kids. The
twelve Spies two positive report, ten evil report. They would
have spread that with us. So no, we're good. We
don't want no fear in this camp, right right, all right,
let's go on. And then God says that. He turns
to Gideon, and he then he says this. And the
Lord said to Gideon in verse seven, not verse seven,
verse four.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
But the lords will.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Gideon, there are still too many. Bring them down to
the spring, and I will test them. Everybody, say test.
I will test them to determine who will go with
you and who will not. Well, then Gideon took his
warriors down to the water and told him divide the
men into two groups.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
In one group, put.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
All of those who cut water with their hands and
lap it up with their tongues like dogs. And in
the other group, put all those who kneel down and
drink with their mouths in the stream. So I'm positive
for a moment. So watch this. So here's the spring
at Harod. I've been to the spring at Harrod. I've
been to Israel, and I remember going down there so awesome.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
I really wanted to drink it, but he said, no,
don't drink it anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
So imagine ten thousand warriors, right, ten thousand warriors.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Leah, are you in New York? Leah? Are you in
New York right now? At your school in New York? Oh?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
So awesome? Are you playing? Are you playing soccer? D
one soccer? You're still playing soccer for now? All right, awesome,
everybody give her a hand.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
That's Leah. Leah featto Heleah.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
And so all of a sudden, now what you've got
is you've got ten thousand guys coming to the spring.
I imagined it. Maybe the topography changed over the years.
Ten thousand people are going down to the water. Okay,
First of all, I want to go first, okay, And
for a second, I want to be upstream. Okay, bro,
I don't want nobody. Oh brod, this feels so good
at my feet. Bro Oh, this is unreal, and I'll

(15:48):
be drinking right over there. I'm like, no, we're going
at the front everybody, at the beginning of the spring.
That's where I'd be going. So I took a picture.
I couldn't find it. I was bummed.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
I wanted that trip to Israel. I was. I was
by the spring and I lay down and I was
like this.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I had one like this, another one and another one
like did.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
My bee boy?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
You know my Anyway, that's for entertainment value for the
online folks, because I know you're going into your kitchen
right now to get something.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
To eat, so watch me. So watch this. So now
all of a sudden, he says, bring them down to
the river. Let me test them.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
The NIV says, let me thin them. He let me
test them. And I want you to separate the guys
who go drink like this. He goes, who, Brah, drink up.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Bro, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
And the next time we're gonna drink and you can
see them putting their mouth in this thing.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Oh, thanks for clarifying that. I'm glad you guys cleaned this.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
The last service had all kinds personal objects inside anyway.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
And so.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
They start drinking. They start drinking like a little bit
too much, a little bito much, and they keep on drinking.
They burp, they keep on drinking and drinking and drinking, to.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
The point where it's, oh, it's so much water, I
don't know if I can move anymore.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
And then there's a few of them.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
They go up there, and they walk up there, and
they go down on one knee, on one knee.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
And they go.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Start drinking them like this, not too sweet, not too rancid,
but just right.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
If you're wondering what I just did. Nineteen seventy eight,
Rap Ripplinger. I was a little boy. I memorized the
whole album.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
And God says, I want you to take the ones
that drank it like dogs on this side and the
ones that brought them to their mouths on this side.
So nine thousand and seven hundred go this way, and
three hundred go this way. The nine thousand, seven hundred
probably looking at these guys scrubs use scrubs, you go home,

(17:59):
and other three hundred are looking at these guys, going.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
What are we gonna do?

Speaker 2 (18:06):
And God goes get in, getting goes way I got
you got these guys right here. God goes wrong those
guys right there and getting you can imagine getting Oh
my gosh, we're dead.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
We are dead. We're not just dead.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
We are Makia died dead, Maki died dead, three times dead.
We are dead, dead dead. We need a miracle, We
need a miracle. It is definitely over. And God says,
this is what I'm gonna do because number one, there's
a purpose in the threshing. But number two, there's a
value in the testing. There's a value in the testing
because God is testing them. He's testing him to see

(18:41):
which ones does he want? Who am I gonna use?
Am I gonna use the ones that are self indulgent?

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Or am I gonna use the ones that are alert?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Do you know that everything that you're doing and everything
that you're going through is actually a test. As a
matter of fact, there's a threshing in the test, and
after the threshing, there's a test and God. God is
not going to tempt you, but God will test you
because God will never tempt you. He'll never tempt you
with evil, He'll never tempt you with anything. He will
never tempt you, but he will use the temptation as

(19:11):
a test, because he will never tempt you, because why it's.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Not his nature. The devil's nature is to tempt you.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
What God is trying to do is strip away everything
to the point it's just.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
You and him.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
In this tempting and in this freshure and in this testing,
and even everything that's going on in our lives right
now and going on in our country. Maybe things in
our life are being pulled away, that friend left, that relationships, struggle.

Speaker 7 (19:59):
That habits here, that source here, and then you find
yourself being.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Stripped to the place where you got to have.

Speaker 7 (20:10):
Less than when I started. God goes, well, first one
I didn't do. Second one I did see. The first
one was man's choice. If anybody is afraid, you can go,
and man decided that they would go.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
The second one, God says, now it's my turn. Let
me take away from you.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
That would actually take away from the victory I want
to bring you because I want to do something in
your life.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
I want to bring a victory in your life. It's
almost like this. My friend Roger always says this.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
He goes, when you come to the end of yourself,
you get to the beginning of God and if you're
ever in that place of desperation right now that you
feel like I'm.

Speaker 7 (21:00):
Losing it in my grip, I have nothing else you do.
You just started at the beginning of God all over again.
You might be thinking, I thought I was older than this.
I thought I was on this journey, right.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
I thought I was kind of past this in my
twenties or my thirties, And here I am in my forties,
and here I am in my fifties or whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
I thought, No, this is a this.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Is a forever journey with God, until until Jesus comes back,
until we hear the trumpets sound, until the archangel shouts.
Because why because there's value in the testing. Think about
everything that has been fad tested that has great value.
Gold gets heated up to a place where all of
a sudden, the tross comes to the top and then
you scrape it off, right, right, I mean it's the
same thing, right. I mean, I don't want to I

(21:41):
don't wanna trivialize this, But if you ever threw chicken
thighs in a hot pot and you're boiling the water,
and all of a sudden you throw the chicken thighs
in it because you want to par boil the chicken.

Speaker 3 (21:52):

all that fat bubbles. What do you do? You just
skim that baby off and then you gotta anyway moving

and what comes up to the top, the draws. You
scrape that off. That's how you get sterling silver. That's
how you get twenty four carrot gold.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
In the testing is value. If your marriage has been
tested and.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
You come through it, you've got value in that marriage.
If you've been walking with Jesus and you've been testing
you and your faith has been tested, you've passed the temptations,
all these different things, there's value in your marriage. If
you're a disciple of Jesus Christ and you're going through sanctification,
being set apart, and you've been tested, You've been tested
at work, tested by the guys, tested on the job,

(22:45):
tested by your commander, tested by another soul, tested by somebody,
You're gonna get tested.

all going through a testing online. Who's going through We're
going through testing? And the great thing about this is
God is watching the testing. He's watching.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
God was watching who was gonna do this and who
was gonna do the other thing.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
He was watching because when God was about to do.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Something miraculous that you and I are talking about three
thousand years later, come on, three thousand years later, we're
talking about this. Why because he wanted to give an
example for me and for you in twenty twenty. The
things that he was gonna do was gonna blow everybody's

into a you know, to a knife. They were skinny,
they were malnourished. The best color that they had was gray.
Most guys were wearing khaki I'm talking about. They were thin,
they were malnourished, and they showed up to fight. And
God did a miracle through this army of agricultural farmers
who showed up.

you needed me to do. Oh, I didn't know you
were watching.

Speaker 2 (24:43):

watching everything that I was doing right when everybody was
doing it wrong, when everybody was cheating. God, I wasn't
cheating whenever everybody.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Was cutting corners.

some love on this side. Come on, come on, think
about this for a moment. Think about this, because God
loves you, He's got a plan for your life, and

a purpose to the threshing, you got to realize there's a.
