Summary

Outnumbered at work, in life, or in your head? This message breaks down a counterintuitive playbook from Gideon: God reduced the team from 32,000 to 300 so the win couldn’t be credited to human strength. Translation: purity over popularity, alignment over volume, covenant over control. You’ll learn: Why you can’t defeat what you secretly worship How God “thins” your circle to protect your destiny The 1% principle: purity beats numbers in the Kingdom A practical path to marital & life peace: standards, prayer, order Key Scriptures: Judges 7; Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 23; Romans 8:1; Job 13:15 Takeaway: Stop demanding a 32,000-man solution. Align with God’s way—and watch 300 be more than enough. — 📲 APOC App: Search “APOC Ministry” in your app store 🎧 Podcast: APOC Ministry 🙏 Partner with APOC: Give as an act of covenant, not compulsion - www.apocministry.org

We're all Christians in terms of name. We call ourselves Christians, but for some of us, it's two philosophies.

0:08.3

It's our philosophy and it's God's philosophy. And God is saying we got to become one. Amen.

0:13.3

God is saying today, it is the things that we're doing on our own that has put us in bondage in the first place.

0:19.7

It is your way of doing things that's going to make you lose the war. But when you're ready to get out of bondage and you're ready to do it my way, I'm going to show you what to do and you go get the victory. But if you do it your way, you will continue to be a slave. I'm telling you, it ain't nothing wrong with your marriage. God can give you freedom right now,

0:37.8

but he said, I can't give you freedom because of how you're doing it. God says, I want to help you

0:42.1

financially, but how you're trying to make money, it don't match with what I says. God is waiting for

0:49.3

your freedom. The only way it's going to come is if you and God are on one accord.

0:57.6

I'm super excited. I started this message last Monday. Praise God. I just want y'all to know I didn't

1:02.5

1:08.7

I just need you to know, pastor got a lot going on. Amen, but you are a priority. Praise God. Hallelujah. I want you to get ready. I want you to get ready for what God is doing, but I want you to know that there's a war between two philosophies, right? It's two philosophies. And I've been praying like God, you know, I'd be like,

1:28.1

I want marital bliss. And God is like, well, you can have it, but you can't have marital bliss when you're on two different pages. No, come on, I want you to hear me. God said, you can have marital bliss. That ain't the problem. The problem, though, is you guys have two different philosophies, and somebody's going to have to submit to one

1:44.6

and don't submit to the one that's ungodly.

1:46.8

I need you to submit to the one that's godly. Oh, come on, somebody. I need you to submit to the one that's godly, and I need y'all to get on one accord, because once y'all get on one accord, and then I get in the mix, there's absolutely nothing you can't do. Amen. I want to make sure you hear what I'm saying.

2:02.8

As we go through Gideon, I want you to know that, yep, we're all Christians in terms of name.
