No Gideon did not ask for sign because of unbelief. Gideon wants further confirmation to be on the right track. Gideon ask God for confirmation to make sure he was correct in his hearing. A person who has already seen God's power but keep demanding God to prove himself is putting God to the test. God doesn't mind if we ask for confirmation in the right way and allow God to choose the way he confirms to us. God might get upset if we keep asking and asking when he has already confirm and proven his power already.

Pride is a very bad thing. A person can start to think to highly of themself and start coming up with their own philosophy of thinking and become very blind and their thinking can become distorted. Truly having and keeping a humble heart and realizing that any knowledge or things we have all came from God. We didn't do it on our own but God is involved. Any good wisdom a person has came from The Lord.

Because God sees the whole picture and we don't always see the whole picture in everything. It can be a tough thing or do at times but the right thing to do. We will never always understand everything and why but it always for good reasons to obey God. When we are obedient that requires patience and in that patience we can get a deeper and broader understanding of some things and God's plans.

What i should be asking God is what does he want me to say them? What's the best way to handle the situation? Do you want someone else to go further with them am i just simply just suppose to mentioned this and that to them, recommend this, and pray for them? It's best to ask The Holy Spirit because every situation is different and might not need to be handled in the exact same way. Yes I have had different situations like that. It taught me that God doesn't mind using me to help people though I might not always had the confidence that i should had so I just stepped out anyway. Also that God definitely loves and cares about others needs. Even the little simple things he will speak through someone else to give you that answer. It just shows how wonderful and caring of a God he is.

Yes I believe the promptings are clear enough. Sometimes it's us that is not understanding something. Or we might be hesitant because we are not sure we are truly hearing from God or is it just ourselves. No is just as important as yes because sometimes we think we are suppose to do this or that because it seems like the logical thing to do but God is saying no that is not the way or the direction I need you to go. It's so important for all of us to understand that. Sometimes something can look like the right answer but not be the right answer. Taking heed to the no can prevent more problems and consequences. Yes I have felt God's promptings at different times to take action and the results be it for myself or someone else turned out good. I'm glad I listened. I need to make sure I'm listening more and more.

I believe that gave Paul further confidence and encouragement. It helped made Paul stronger and trust in The Lord even more. What we can learn from this God will always encourage us. He is always willing to encourage us when we are going through difficulties.

Because The Holy Spirit has access to Jesus. They are connected and The Holy Spirit Always knows Jesus thoughts. They are One God in three people but still one God. It makes me dependent on The Holy Spirit because he is God just like The Father and Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit knows Jesus thoughts. I listen for The Holy Spirit's leading when I need advice or confirmation if what I am thinking is coming from God or myself or some deceit from the devil. The Holy Spirit is always faithful in leading us into truth.

The Holy Spirit will guide us into the way of truth. The Holy Spirit will help us to recognize deception and truth. We can't do that alone we need Him. He will also teach us so we will grow and become more like Jesus. The Holy Spirit will only say what The Father says. So this shows us that The Holy Spirit is the perfect guide for us. The Holy Spirit will guide us in our everyday lives and decisions. The Holy Spirit is always speaking to us. We just have to make sure we are listening.

Jesus was totally dependent on His Father to do the works that he did. Jesus was not a lone servant. He was in total submission to The Father and he did it willingly. Jesus Was and Is God but there is also a divine pattern with the Godhead. In our own life and ministry we are to follow this same pattern as Jesus. We too should have the attitude that we can do nothing without the Father's guidance and Jesus and The Holy Spirit. We to should be about our Father's business. Jesus knew the Father perfectly and would hear him in his heart and he recognized His Father's voice just like we to should recognize our Father's voice.

A world with no more sin and corruption. No injustice. We have a lot to look forward to such as no more sin and everything being done right and also more wonderful things that we don't know about yet. That's the fun mystery the things we don't know. Much to look forward to.

Gideon named him that because The Lord let him know that he did not have to be afraid he was not going to die so that put Gideon at peace. God did not come to bring strife but peace with him. God was and is a friend the best friend a person can ever have. God comes to bring blessings. That in itself gives peace.

To help them out whatever trouble they were in. Jesus got us back by becoming one of us and by giving his blood freely for us because he loves us. There was no way we could redeem ourselves. God has a great love for us. A love that we as humans don't fully understand. For Jesus to come here and go through all of that and God The Father allowing it says a lot about his love and character. Human beings are worth more than we truly realize.

God has shown his grace to my family in many ways. Giving us opportunity after opportunity to get things right to change. Blessing my family members to live long lives, not being out on the streets and so much more. He is a good God! Peter says that because it is all about God not about us. It's because of his kindness and love we are here and will spend eternity with him not because we deserved it but because he loves us and wants us with him. That's a very loving and sweet God.

God's love never changes. He was the same God in the old testament as he is in the new testament. Even in the old testament God was so merciful he kept giving chance after chance because he wish for none to perish. God loved his creation back then so he already had a plan for our salvation. In his perfect wisdom, God sent his son so we could be with him forevermore. It is perfect love. Love beyond love.

A Faithful person who is truly faithful in all their ways can be trusted. If you can keep your word, walk in integrity then you can be trusted. This is very important when dealing with others and it is also very important to God. God inspires me to want to be faithful in everything I do. To be a trustworthy person who keeps my word. Faithfulness has to be a part of our character because it is who God is. It is who Jesus is and we want to be like Jesus. Since Jesus is faithful then we to should want to be faithful.

A person would be taking away and misleading people on who God is. We cannot change God around in order to fit our own ideas and experiences. No matter how bad those experiences might have been for a person. People need the truth not trying to sugar coat and change things around to please the world. God is Father and Son not God the Mother. A mother who can't forget her baby and a mother who comforts her son. I know that God has never forgotten me and never will in the future. God also comforts me and encourages me.

Jesus and The Father are one because they are one God that exist and is expressed in three persons with The Holy Spirit but still one God not three. It can be hard for the human mind to wrap itself around that but it doesn't change the fact of it being true. Jesus is distinct from The Father because he is the Son not the Father but still the same God. Jesus gives us access to The Father. There is no other way to The Father except through Jesus. Jesus is God just like The Father is God. One God.

Jesus introduced a more intimate way of us relating to God versus what people were used to in that time. It's good to know God as Abba. That is very important to me. It is good to know that My Heavenly Father will not harm me or do wrong to me. I can always depend on him. He will always love me and care about me.

God is the source of all things. God is my source a living source. He is the fountain that I take from. God is my fountain of life that is what it means to me personally. I am to seek after him not my own agenda or man's wisdom. I need to keep trusting in him to be my source my fountain. It gives me hope for my own future. God has plans for me and it is only through him that they will be accomplished.

Sometimes people resist because as human beings we can think we have all the answers when we don't. I think it is the sinful nature and sometimes Satan can plant that thought in people to just do things themselves and it ends up bringing more problems. It didn't solve anything. Having continuous faith in God and trust in what his word says regardless of circumstances or how long we have been waiting because everything does Not happen instantly. It could be cool if we could just want something and everytime it just automatically happen but that is not the way God has it set up. Faith means trusting in the Lord as Shepherd and Helper even if we have to wait just a little longer for something. We can't give up.

Well many times throughout my life he has cared for me as Shepherd. Through the right jobs and other things. God has healed my body of things. Medication didn't do it. Going to the doctor didn't do it. God did it. There's nothing wrong with someone going to the doctor or taking medication but these were on going issues that the doctor's and medicine could not fix. They were just putting a band aid on when I needed wholeness. I'm still believing for somethings. But God is faithful to fulfill it. Amen

God is always on guard and always see when we don't see the dangers and problems. He is the ultimate watchmen because he never gets lazy, tired or fall asleep he is always in the watch. He is on the watch when we are asleep. He is on the watch when we are doing everyday things and doing fun activities. He is Never caught off guard. He is always protecting his children.

God is our shield because he protects us from danger and harm everyday. He shields us from what could have been and what could have went wrong. He keeps my head lifted up out of troubles. Even if a person gets into trouble he will lift them up out of their troubles. God has ultimate power and God will receive the glory for protecting me. God is our protector. He is our shield from the seen things to the unseen things on a regular daily basis. He never stops protecting us. So we put our hope and trust in him.

The protected one is required to trust in the Lord at All times no matter what is going on around them. God uses shadow as another way to describe his protection. The Lord is our protector. He will keep us and protects and shields us as we continue to trust in him. No matter what is going on in the world right now we still need to trust in him at all times.

We must accept Jesus as Lord. He is the only way to The Father. There is no other way to salvation, only through Jesus. There is no other way to be with God in eternity but through Jesus. Jesus is Lord and God Almighty
