Are the Odds Against You? Good! (7)Romans 1:17 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.Judges 6:15 And he said unto him, Oh, Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.Judges 6:16 And Jehovah said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.Exodus 3:11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?Exodus 3:12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.Exodus 4:10 And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.Exodus 4:11 And Jehovah said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah?1 Samuel 9:19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer; go up before me unto the high place, for ye shall eat with me to-day: and in the morning I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart.1 Samuel 9:20 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for thee, and for all thy father's house?1 Samuel 9:21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou to me after this manner?1 Samuel 15:18 and Jehovah sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath Jehova

Are The Odds Against You? Good!Chapter 7Praise The Lord saints! Thank you so much for joining us today. Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord we praise You! We give thanks unto You Lord for being our God, our Savior, and our Faithful Creator, Lord. Lord, we know that there were two creations. There was the natural man, and now we are in the process of the creation of the spiritual man. And we thank You Lord for being the Creator of our souls Lord, and bringing us into the Image of Jesus Christ, Lord. And causing Your Word to be precious and holy unto us Lord. And granting us repentance unto all things that are displeasing unto You Lord. Lord, help us to give up any kind of self-sufficiency [self-confidence] and help us to put our confidence totally upon You Lord. It is by grace and we earnestly desire Your grace Lord. And that we would rely on You for everything Lord. That our faith would be our salvation in everything Lord. You said, "the righteous shall live from faith." So, we thank You Father! We thank You for moving these things in our hearts Lord. And we praise You for it in Jesus' Name. Amen.Well, are the odds against you? Good! We are discovering that it's quite good to be in a place where the odds are against you, because God will be there for you! He's our Savior! We talked about Gideon's story, and how he didn't seem to be the self-confident person that many preachers are today. He said, (Jdg. 6:15) Oh Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. (16) And The Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee... He didn't have the "self-confidence" that is so much of a hinderance to people walking in the Kingdom of The Lord today. The Lord wants us to come to Him as a little child. Someone who hasn't figured it all out, and someone who is not going to make it by their own strength or their own power. God consistently picks people like this, because He hates self-confidence.
