ALL HUMAN beings ARE natural born liars. Test your "self", who it is BEFORE you obey it. Gideon's Rule. Judges

And IT Came TO PASS THE Angel of the Lord God, His Presence REBUKED the children for their disobedience, separation from Him, THROWN DOWN THEIR altars, gods of their hearts SO THAT God COULD HONOR His Covenant with them.  They HAD NOT Obeyed Him His Voice, Presence ONLY.

YOUR HUMAN thoughts, spirits ARE thorns THAT SNARE, hinder you from My Covenant OF Obedience.  AND they WEPT BEFORE THE Angle, Spirit.   Joshua led the people until released, THEY ALL WENT THEIR way   AND the wrath, servant of God, his anger was against them-FOR-evil, NEVERLESS the Lord SENT His Spirit, RAISED UP Judges, the Lord WITH the judge Delivered them out of the hand of wrath.  AND AGAIN they WENT whoring with other gods, thoughts, actions NOT His.  BOWING their flesh TO serve gods, disobedience.  Spirits that misled, confused, blinded them, closed THER ears to listen do only human thoughts of TIME.

It IS God alone WHO BRINGS OUT OF BONDAGE, the house of disobedience, His Children, The Lord Delivers His Children of Covenent with Peace, BY Obedience, Faith in His Presence, Power, Reality IN the NOW.  Gideon was hiding as he THRESTED Wheat, AT the Winepress.  Gideon Worked IN SECRET.

And the Spirit, Anel of the Lord, His Presence Said, the Lord IS With thee.  AND Gideon questioned the condition of ISRAEL, WHERE ARE the Miracles that Freed Gone, NOW Israel in hands of Midianites?  And the Lord Said, HAVE I NOT Looked upon thee to GO IN Might to Save?  HUMBLE Gideon, said he was not important, he the LEAST of his own family, flesh.

And the Lord Said, SURELY I Will BE WITH thee and shall SMITE AS ONE Man, Army.  AND Gideon TESTED the angel, that he not BE DECEIVED by human self, thoughts of self, NOT God.  God IS NOT OFFENDED, but  approves of TESTING spirits, TO See, IF God.

TEST the Spirit, IF Faith or human spirit of unbelief, PRETENSE.  MAKE READY the Sacrifice TO God, that Pleases Spirit not human spirit of the dead.   FOR WHEN Gidion Perceived that the Spirit, was the Angel of  Presence.  We begin in fear of NIGHT, THEN INTO the Day   The Army OF Gideon.
