UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF JEHOVAH SHALOM יהוה שׁלום and how that affects us as sons and daughters of JEHOVAH SHALOM שׁלום יהוה in CHRIST.
Pastor Stephanie
JUDGES 6:1-2 NKJV
Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord.
So the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years,
and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel.
Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains.
JUDGES 6:3-4 NKJV
So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up;
also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.
Then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey.
Israel was weak because of the enemy
JUDGES 6:5-6 NKJV
For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.
So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.
JUDGES 6:7-9 NKJV
And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of the Midianites, that the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them,
“Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage; and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before you and gave you their land.
God had to remind them, they are out of Egypt. Out of the world. We are bought out of the world and not in the slavery and out of bondage
JUDGES 6:10 NKJV
Also I said to you, “I am the Lord your God;
do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.”
But you have not obeyed My voice.’ ”
JUDGES 6:11-12 NKJV
Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.
And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
JUDGES 6:13 NKJV
Gideon said to Him, “O my Lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us?
And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying,
‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’
But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”
God needs to take attention off ourselves. God said again to him, I will be with you
JUDGES 6:14 NKJV
Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites.
Have I not sent you?”
JUDGES 6:15-16 NKJV
So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel?
Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
And the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.”
JUDGES 6:17-18 NKJV
Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight,
then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me.
Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring
out my offering and set it before You.”
And He said, “I will wait until you come back.”
Gidon was not very sure it was God who talked to him. If someone tells you you are mighty man or woman of God, you still doubt If we cannot accept that God loves us and still ask Him to show us, we cannot go further. God loves us and He demonstrated at the cross JUDGES 6:21 NKJV
Then the Angel of the Lord put out the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread.
And the Angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
JUDGES 6:22 NKJV
NOW Gideon PERCEIVED that He was the Angel of the Lord.
So Gideon SAID, “Alas, O Lord God!
For I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face.”

So Gideon built an ALTAR there to the Lord,

To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

EPHESIANS 2:11-13 TPT
So don’t forget that you were not born as Jews and were uncircumcised (circumcision itself is just a work of man’s hands);
- you had none of the Jewish covenants and laws;
- you were foreigners to Israel’s incredible heritage;
- you were without the covenants and prophetic promises of the Messiah, the promised hope, and without God.
The Jews are privilege people, they are the chosen of God
Today we are chosen by God by the grace of God through Jesus
EPHESIANS 2:11-13 TPT
Yet look at you NOW!
Everything is new!
Although you were once distant and far away from God,
NOW you have been brought delightfully close to him through the sacred blood of Jesus—you have actually been united to Christ!
In Christ we can claim health
Today we obey by grace
EPHESIANS 2:14-15 TPT
Our reconciling “PEACE ” is JESUS!
He has made Jew and non-Jew one in Christ.
By dying as our sacrifice, he has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ.
Ethnic hatred has been dissolved by the crucifixion of his precious body on the cross. The legal code that stood condemning every one of us has now been repealed by his command.
His triune essence has made PEACE between us by STARTING OVER—forming ONE NEW RACE of humanity, Jews and non-Jews fused together in himself!

and BEST of ALL , you are connected to the Head Cornerstone of the building, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ himself!
