Questions, Answers & Prayer:

If we’re praying & fasting to host the presence of God as a person & then, as one, to grow into hosting the presence of God corporately then give an example of a believer hosting that led to corporate hosting that led to repentance & revival for families, small groups, towns & a nation?

The presence of God came upon Gideon because he was sincere, honest, vulnerable & teachable as he shared his distress & fear with God & he was guided by the Spirit’s presence. In the middle of the story Gideon’s courage, loyalty & obedience allowed the Spirit’s presence to cover God’s people. God then reduced Gideon’s army from 32,000 men down to 300. “So the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon (Judges 6:34).” The Hebrew can read: “God put Gideon on like a glove.”

The presence of God lives thru them: It’s as though their corporate intercession is God expressing Himself thru them.

Gideon received favor allowing the presence of God to flow in His life to empower him as one man & then corporately to do what was impossible for them to do. The presence of God thru Gideon beat the Midianites & restored God’s people to a place of strength & out from under the chaos of God’s enemies.

“Father, as You sent Jesus, He is sending us. We need to be covered & filled by His Spirit. Guide us in the privilege of hosting the Spirit of God & to yield to Him as He moves & works in & thru us. Amen”
