The Gideon Complex: Strong and Wrong

The Gideon Complex: Strong and Wrong

Judges 6:1-22

Last Week Recap

The Gideon Complex – An involuntarily adopted mindset caused from prolonged exposure to negative reinforcement.

The only cure is intimacy with God. God wants you to draw near to Him, so that He can remind of you of:

  • Who you are and who He created you to be;
  • What He created you to do and the power you already have; and
  • Where His hand is at work in your life.

Being strong and wrong is to be confident in a thing but we’re incorrect

Opening Statement
The fear of being STRONG & WRONG comes from a lack of confidence in God’s Call. Closeness with God gives you confidence in His call.

Point 1
As we grow closer to God, we will recognize His voice.

Do you know what God calls you?

Point 2
As we grow closer to God, we will hear Him more clearly. 

Through an on-going dialogue with God, we gain more detail.

Point 3
As we grow closer to God, we will become ready to answer His call.

If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.

Hesitation comes with its own risks.
