LOSING YOUR CONFIDENCE

EVERY ONE IS BORN WITH A SPIRITUAL GIFT. God gives gifts without repentance which means it is according to your will whether you use them for good or evil. The enemy can not steal your gift but he can steal your confidence. If he manages to steal your confidence your gift will still work but most likely you will be working it in an obscure cave where it is hard to bless someone. The gifts are never for us but for us to give the world. Take Gideon for instance... He lived in the promise land he was a child of the promise. His daddy was a devil worshiper. The enemy had stole his confidence and replaced it with fear. He was hiding out in the cellar threshing wheat which meant he would receive small results. Every one knows you have thresh wheat on the hillside so the wind can blow away the chaff. He felt small in his own eyes and blessed no one. Then the angel shows up and says oh mighty man of valor. Suddenly after tearing down his father's altars to strange gods, a simple act of obedience mighty men of war show up to be put under the leadership of a man who had never been in battle. God says Gideon go save Israel , I have done all the saving I am going to do now you save Israel. You can do it oh mighty man of valor. So Gideon believed. God armed them with clay pots torches and horns. They confused the enemy and they fought with swords against themselves. God restored Gideon's confidence and a nation was saved, a nation was blessed by his gift.
