LAS 7 - Gideon's Story

• The Israelites began to worship other gods that gave the Midianites the chance to invade their land.
• God called Gideon through an angel.
• Gideon assembled an army of a thousand Israelites but God told him that he needed only three hundred men.
• They did not use swords or shields but trumpets, torches and pots.
• At a given signal, they blew their trumpets and broke the pots
• The Midianites awoke in total confusion and panic. They began

  fighting and killing one another and fled to different directions.
• Gideon was called the “brave and mighty man of God.” Gideon’s example reminded the people of their duty to worship God alone.
• Gideon and his men knew that God had won for them another miraculous victory. This proves that God’s ways are very different from our ways.
