Personal victory comes before corporate victory. He was marked by God, as a man of valor, though inwardly he felt the exact opposite. He trusted God's heart over him and not his own feelings. Gideon, the Lord is with you mighty man of valor! Judges 6:12 Gideon had to tear down his father's altar of Baal and cut down the wooden image that was besides it. Judges 6:25 & 26 Then he built an altar on top of this rock! His personal victory came before his corporate victory. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon. Judges 6:34 This literally means, the Spirit of the Lord clothed Himself with Gideon! Which means He took possession of Gideon! Obedience unto the Father, results in dunamis power being displayed in your life. When you overcame fear and timidity, God cloaked you with demon slaying strength! He possessed you with His consuming anointing which releases miracles every day! Before Gideon led his 300 men, his personal victory was secured deep within him. Your obedience to God will always stir up warfare against you, yet He will be faithful for what He initiates He fulfills! God is with you, you will not fall.
