00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform thanks strategy and innovation are not prohibited
00:00:30.800 for christians what we're noticing in verse six should be this but god demands that his people
00:00:39.160 place their ultimate trust in him we cannot place our trust in the very things that our enemies have
00:00:46.940 trusted while assuming that god will somehow bless that rebellion when it's exercised by us
00:00:55.660 that's the principle of verse six it's not that chariots and horses are universally evil
00:01:03.800 it's not that well swords are okay bows are okay there's an inherent goodness to this weapon
00:01:13.120 and an inherent spiritual cursed evil voodoo with this weapon. That's not what God's saying.
00:01:21.300 He's not saying, hey, you can't use the tactics and weapons of your enemy because inherently in
00:01:27.900 and of themselves, they're evil and bad. So Christians have to use swords. Only bad people
00:01:34.680 use chariots because chariots are cursed and demonic, but swords are good. That's not what's
00:01:40.320 going on. Christians can use the chariots. But this time they couldn't. This time. Why? Because
00:01:49.600 chariots are bad? No. Because chariots were the very thing that Israel's opponents were trusting 0.66
00:01:56.100 in. And the key for Israel is not that certain things are good and therefore can be utilized
00:02:02.120 and these things are bad and therefore cannot. No, the principle is the difference between
00:02:07.660 Israel and her foes is that the kings of the earth trust in princes and horses and chariots
00:02:16.880 but the people of God trust in the Lord that the advantage of Israel is not horses and chariots
00:02:25.200 the advantage of Israel is they win despite being small in number despite being inferior in
00:02:34.380 victuals and provision despite having lesser technology and weapons of war because their god
00:02:43.560 is great is it inherently and universally wrong to go to war against an adversary
00:02:52.220 with greater number than he has oh that's wise in almost every instance but what would be wisdom
00:03:03.780 99.9% of the time would be blatant rebellion and sin
00:03:07.960 if your name is Gideon.
00:03:12.180 Because in that instance,
00:03:14.220 the Lord had something specific to prove.
00:03:18.240 That the battle is the Lord's.
00:03:20.800 And that he can win when numbers are great
00:03:23.480 or when numbers are few.
00:03:26.820 That the Lord is Lord of the battle.
00:03:29.680 and that the advantage of his people is that Yahweh is on their side. He is mighty in battle.
00:03:40.780 Psalm 20 verses 6 through 8 says, Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed. He will answer him
00:03:47.680 from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in
00:03:54.380 horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we will rise
00:04:01.900 and stand upright.
00:04:24.380 We'll be right back.
