May 24, 2009, Sermon Notes
Pastor Peter J. Peters, preaching from the La Porte Church of Christ, La
Porte, Colorado.

Communion Supper Exhortation.
The preacher's Bible College instructor Archie Word said, "People
remember sermon illustrations, as they are windows that allow you to
look deeper into the meaning of the word of God."

The illustration of coyote hunting with dogs was used, when the preacher
was a boy growing up on the ranch in Nebraska. Ol' Blue wouldn't quit in
the chase, and the coyote got a second wind, as ol' Blue finally quit
running, and staggered and frothed at the mouth, and old blue died, as
he drowned on his own saliva. He finally died,
as he couldn't get enough air to his lungs.
Our King Jesus never gave up on us, as He fought for every breath,
when he was hanged on the cross.
The Best team of dogs for coyote hunting was Gypsy, Tiny, and Blue.
Old Blue was the top coyote chaser.
Ol' Blue's body was thrown onto the trash heap at the dump after he died.
Tiny and Gypsy didn't appear to be the least bit bothered by his death.
We need to keep our hearts soft, and keep King Jesus in our remembrance.
We need to remember the great price He paid to redeem us from the
penalties of sin. Every seven days we remember how the Father loved us
so much He gave His only begotten Son. Run the race of Christianity
faithfully, and, "Do this in remembrance of Me."
Don't be like the old Canaanite dogs, hard-hearted,
and who could care less about a fallen comrade.
Beware of hardened hearts and not caring.
God's wrath was poured out on the cross, upon His own Son,
as Jesus took upon Himself the sins of the whole world.
Finish the course, run the race, stay in the fight.



May 24, 2009 Sermon notes.
THERE IS MORE TO SEE IN THE GIDEON STORY -  message title.



Our latter day victory is prophesied in Isaiah 10:26, "The LORD of hosts
will arouse a scourge against him like the slaughter of Midian at the
rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over the sea and He will lift it up
the way He did in Egypt." NASV.
"Like the slaughter of Midiam....."
is from the story of Gideon, as told in the Book of Judges.
A deliverance, prophesied in Psalms 83:9, "Deal with them as with Midian,
as with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon." NASV.
Judges 6 & 7, illustrates a land being overrun and taken over, as a war
story.
It was a unique invasion of the land. Uncontrolled immigration into the
land,
and an economic takeover, as in socialism and wealth redistribution.
"You make, we take," is the mentality of the welfare state.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
Ours is a prophetic land, this North American continent today.



The preacher had a phone conversation with a defeated believer,
who saw nothing but hopelessness.
"I don't see America in the Bible." he said.
The truth is this land is our land, and it is His land, and hope comes
into your life.
Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will
come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists." ISV.
The elite number is going forward on the offense and staying on the offense.
The elite Gideon guerillas are marching forward on the offense.
You can't go on the offense, without being offensive to somebody.
We are having the biggest gathering ever this year in Branson.
Our forefathers, the true children of Israel, aready knew that we get
the land back.



A review of the "Ask Gideon" sermon series, listing the 12 step cycle of
events,
that took place with the ultimate victory and deliverance in the Book of
Judges.
The cycle of events begins in Judges 6:1, "Then the sons of Israel did
what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD gave them into the
hands of Midian seven years." NASV.
There has been a change in our national anthem,
as the "Limbo Song," and "How Low Can You Go?" is the theme of the nation.
The preacher mentioned the book, THE POWER OF MUSIC,
as there is tremendous power in music, and our enemies know this.
The new national anthem, "The Limbo Song" ..."How low can you go?"
The aliens came in with the musical powers, and God's people went lower
and lower, following the base music beat right down to the ground.
Matthew 5:13, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become
tasteless,
how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men." NASV.
They went so low in the Gideon story, that Midian became ruler over them.
The sons of Israel were, "Brought very low....and cried out."
When an Israelite cries out to the Lord, he is down.
You can always get to him, right through his pocket book.
"Lord save us!" We cry out, "Lord, save us!"
2 Chronicles 7:14, doesn't take 100% of the people to achieve results.
"However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves,
pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear
[their prayer]
from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country." GWT.
God sent a prophet, in Judges 6:7-8, "Now it came about when the sons of
Israel cried to the LORD on account of Midian,that the LORD sent a
prophet to the sons of Israel, and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD,
the God of Israel, 'It was I who brought you up from Egypt and brought
you out from the house of slavery." NASV.
The Prophet had to teach them their identity and history.
The message was about their identity, which had been lost in the sixties.
The baby boomers asked, "Who am I?"
The "Baby Boomers" had a question, as they had lost their identity.
In Judges 6, God used His prophet to tell them His story.
The HISTORY CHANNEL perverts history, as the TV is our
enemy's propaganda tool.
Don't get your history from the History Channel.
There is true history and true identity, as the sheeple begin to learn
this and wake up.




Step 4 - The supernatural came into play.
The Tea Parties are an absolute farse.
The conquest of this country took place in another realm, the spiritual
realm,
and you are not going to get out of this captivity in the physical realm.
Russo, the jew judas goat is dead now.
They are making lists and collecting names of protesters for roundup,
as in culling the herd through herd and range management.
Judges 6;11, "Angel of the Lord came" then...in the supernatural.
"As his son Gideon....save it from the Midianites"
Gideon was smart enough not to register his wheat.
Manifestation, no accident hearing about both angels and demons.
It was no accident that the "ANGELS & DEMONS" movie came out
after DC STREET SORCERY DVD debut.




Step 5 - The uncommom, rare, warrior mentality.
This is the fifth step in the Gideon story.
Esau Edom brought down the white establishment, as they were
antiestablishment.
Jacob's children had the white man's establishment, and the Edomites
used the peace-love movement to bring it down.
It was used to bring down the white establishment.
Those long-haired, hippie freaks. Don't trust a man with long hair.
Deuteronomy 32:42, "I will make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword
will devour flesh, With the blood of the slain and the captives, From
the long-haired leaders of the enemy." NASV.
"Long haired leaders of the enemy.....attone for His land..."
Esau and his peace children, with their long hair fad.
The jew Beatle edomite rock music bastards that invaded this country in
the British rock and roll music invasion.
Their hair was short,
when compared to today's standard of long hair.
When you get your hair cut, you get more energy.
Boot camp recruits are given pig-shave haircuts for more energy.
1 Corinthians 11:14, "Doesn't nature itself teach you that it is
disgraceful for a man to have long hair?' GWT.
It is a dishonor to him.
No church pulpits preached against it.
Step Five - The warrior mentality.
Today's Christians want to be love and peace children, as influenced by
the hippies sixties propaganda, "Make love, not war."
The supernatural, spiritual, realm and warriors.
Judges 6:12, "The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him,
"The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior." NASV. Gideon is called a
"Valiant warrior."
Judges 6:12 in THE SEPTUAGINT BIBLE reads, "And the angel of the Lord
appeared to him, and said to him, The Lord is with thee--the Mighty Lord
of Hosts."
"We are going to take this land back."
It is the warrior mentality in Gideon,
that prompted the faith taking action and ultimate victory.
He threshed his wheat secretly in the wine press,
refusing to share the produce of his labors with the invading hordes
from the east.
His warrior mentality made him unagreeable, disharmonious, and unmutual
with the foreign invader parasites in his land.



Step 6 - Then comes the question and answer time.
No questions equals no answers. Why Lord?
Children grow with the "Why?" questions.
We are so happy to be flower, peace, and love children.
A Flower dress was worn by a girl in the congregation.
Little children look so beautiful in such apparel.
We have been turned into a bunch of peace knicks.
You need to grow up and become a man or woman of God,
and meet your responsibilities to your Maker.
Judeo Christian Baal priests ought to be getting a little bit nervous
about this time.
The false teaching that antichrist jews must be blessed
in order for God to bless us us wearing very thin.
This is a case of mistaken identity, as no nation has blessed
the Isra-Lie with more money than the USA,
and yet, we are not being blessed for these actions.
2 Chronicles 19:2, "Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him
and said to King Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked and love those
who hate the LORD and so bring wrath on yourself from the LORD?" NASV.
Christians becoming warriors is part of growing up in the Body of Christ.
Ephesians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this
darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly
places." NASV.
In Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 26, and Judges 6:13, "Then Gideon said to
him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened
to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about,
saying, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has
abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian."
"Why then has all this happened to us?"
"The Lord has abandoed us...into the hand of Midian."
Why are we not being blessed as a nation,
after all these money contributions?
Because they lied to you!
The preacher will present a "Deception Detection" sermon coming up in
Branson.
Why can't the Baal priests figure out baptism, when they purportedly
have the Holy Spirit?
The Gideon crowd is made up of those who are beginning to ask questions.
Gideon was in the crowd that was hearing the prophesies,
and he had heard them, as he knew of them.
A new truth always brings in new questions.
2 Peter 3:18, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of
eternity. Amen." NASV.
Why then has this happened to us?
Where are the miracles?
This is an important question.
It's going to take a miracle or two to get out of this one.
How do I get those miracles?
Step 6 - Question and answer time.
What is the answer to, "Where are the miracles?"
The miracles are just around the corner, up ahead,
in a realm called faith.



Step 7 -  The strength to rise up and go on the offense.
Judges 6:13-14, "Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the LORD is
with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His
miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did not the LORD
bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us
into the hand of Midian." The LORD looked at him and said, "Go in this
your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not
sent you?" NASV.
"Go in this your strength."
What was the strength Gideon had?
The "this" refers to something.
The strength was in the statement he made.
"Abandoned us and gave us into the hand of Midiam."
His stength was in that statement.
Branson message concerning what has been seen in the Gideon story.
Revelations from the Gideon story.
In the realm called faith.
"Did not the Lord bring us up......into the hand of Midian."
Come to Branson and learn more.
The preacher is accused of using a "Bait and Switch" technique
to boost the gathering attendance numbers.




Step 8 - Tearing down the Baals.
Judges 6:25, "Now on the same night the LORD said to him, "Take your
father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar
of Baal which belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is
beside it." NASV. "In an orderly manner," is the very important instruction.




Step 9 - The cuts in the ranks.
In Judges 7:2-3, the numbers went from 32K to 10K warriors.
The Law and Gideon followed this, as those afraid were told to go
home, because fear is contagious.
His grace is sufficient to gather strength later.
Our Faith is the victory, and casts out fear.
Heb.10:39, "But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but
of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul." NASV. Think of
soul as the life.
God cut out the fearful, careless, and questionalble from the ranks as
turncoats. The spirit of fear spreads like wildfire.
Every time there was a cut, the core group became stronger in spirit.
Zechariah 4:6, "Then he replied, "This is the word the LORD spoke to
Zerubbabel: You won't [succeed] by might or by power, but by my Spirit,
says the LORD of Armies." GWT.



Step 10 - Doubt.
Gideon had to deal with this in Judges 6:36-40.
He was cautious and wanted to make sure that he understood God's will in
the matter.


Step 11 - The use of unconventional weapons in the story.
2 Corinthians 10:4, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the
flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses." NASV.
They relied on these in Judges 7:16, "He divided the 300 men into three
companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all
of them, with torches inside the pitchers." NASV.
"Gideon divided the 300 men into three companies. He gave them each
rams' horns and jars with torches inside. " GWT.




Step 12 - A shift in spirit.
Judges 6:2, "The power of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of
Midian the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were in the
mountains and the caves and the strongholds." NASV. "The power of Midian
prevailed."
A power shift, as in Judges 7:13-14, is taking place in our land in the
spiritual realm, which is manifesting itself in the physical.
"When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And
he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling
into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that
it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat. His friend
replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of
Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his
hand." NASV.
A shift of power and a spiritual change took place in the land.
Two things brought it about. Their evil strongholds had been broken
down. These idol altars were radiating power, as they had miracles of
magic sorcery spell casting on the other side.
The DC STREET SORCERY DVD exposes the powers of darkness, which are
confronted and overcome with faith.
We pray the Pistol prayer and the Rifle prayer with faith believing.
Deuteronomy 7:4, and the promise of God, as you do limbo and go as low
as you can go. "For they will turn your sons away from following Me to
serve other gods; then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you
and He will quickly destroy you. But thus you shall do to them: you
shall tear down their altars, and smash their sacred pillars, and hew
down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire." NASV.
The sacred pillars are like the Washington monument.
That obelisk looks like something right out of ancient Egypt.
Use some faith to tear down the Baals and Asherahs.
Micah 5:12-15, "I will cut off sorceries from your hand, And you will
have fortune-tellers no more. I will cut off your carved images And your
sacred pillars from among you, So that you will no longer bow down To
the work of your hands. I will root out your Asherim from among you And
destroy your cities. And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath On
the nations which have not obeyed." NASV. "Cut off the sorcery, pull
down the Baals, root out the Asherim."
Hebrews 11:32-34, "And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I
tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the
prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of
righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the
power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made
strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight." NASV.
How are we able to get God's promises?
How do we obtain them?
"Who by faith conquered kingdoms, obtained promises."
We've got to obtain God's promises.
God has promised to cut down the Baals, thus stopping the powers of
darkness at their transmission stations.



Judges 8:6-7, and the faith of Gideon, who got no aid from his
countrymen. "The leaders of Succoth said, "Are the hands of Zebah and
Zalmunna already in your hands, that we should give bread to your army?
Gideon said, "All right, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmunna into
my hand, then I will thrash your bodies with the thorns of the
wilderness and with briers." NASV.
We walk in faith and fight the good fight of faith.
1 Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal
life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the
presence of many witnesses." NASV.
Gideon obtained promises and we can obtain them as well.
Keep praying the Pistol prayer and Rifle prayer.
Use the covering of the full armor of God from Ephesians 6:11-17,
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm
against the schemes of the devil." NASV.
"A MIGHTY WEAPON" SONG PRAYED AND SUNG TO CLOSE OUT THE SERMON.
