【兴起勇士在于神】

主讲：林国晶传道

12/01/2023

引言：

神可以使用一位毫不起眼的人，使百姓知道是耶和华他们的神兴起勇士来拯救他们的。

一、神兴起卑微人（v1-11）

1. 被人抛弃（v1-3)

因着妓女儿子的身份，耶弗他被基列妻所生的儿子赶逐。他就逃避兄弟对他的弃绝，逃到陀伯地。在世人眼中，这样的人应该是没有用处，也不会有什么成就的人。

2. 被神兴起（v4-11）

因为耶弗他敬畏神，以致身份卑微的他被神兴起成为大能的勇士。他虽然陷于不公平的境地,但仍然蒙神使用。

二、靠主勇敢应敌（v11-28）

1. 勇敢应对

耶弗他责备亚扪人的王，因他们声称以色列人占据了他们的地，但却没有事实根据。耶弗他试图从历史上反驳亚扪的宣称。然而，耶弗他的回应似乎难于打动亚扪王的心。

2. 抓住应许

耶弗他清楚明白神已经要将亚扪人交在他的手中。所以，即使最终亚扪人还是不听他所说的话，他仍然相信并抓住神的应许。

三、靠主能力获胜（v29-40)

1.耶和华的灵同在(v29-33)

因为耶和华的灵与耶弗他同在，耶弗他成功攻占了亚扪人20座的城，结束了以色列人18年来的痛苦和羞辱。今天，圣灵不但常与我们同在，也要在我们里面，赐给我们事奉的能力，也帮助我们改变我们的生命。

2.认识真理免遭祸（v34-40)

耶弗他虽经历得胜，却牺牲了女儿。他献女的悲剧完全是因为没有真正明白神的心意。因此，我们要明白真理，使我们知道神所应许给我们的胜利是因着神自己，而不是因为我们可以拿什么跟祂换取。

总结：

神可以兴起任何愿意被神使用的人，无论是身份卑微或软弱的人。因此，让我们都愿意成为被神使用的大能勇士！

Judges 11: God raises up a warrior
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: Ps Stella

Introduction：

God could use an ordinary man to let the people know that it was the Lord their God who raised up mighty men to deliver them.

I. God Raises Up Lowly People (v1-11)

1. Abandoned by people (v1-3)

Because of his identity as the son of a prostitute, Jephthah was expelled by the son of Gilead's wife. So he escaped the rejection of his brothers and fled to the land of Tob. In the eyes of the world, such a person should be useless, and there will be no achievements.

2. Raised up by God (v4-11)

Because Jephthah feared God, he was raised up by God from a humble status to become a mighty warrior. Although he was in an unfair situation, he was still used by God.

II. Relying on the Lord to face the enemy bravely (v11-28)

1. Face the enemy bravely

Jephthah rebuked the king of the Ammonites for their unsubstantiated claim that the Israelites had taken their land. Jephthah attempted to disprove Ammon's claims historically. Jephthah's response, however, seems to have had trouble winning the heart of the king of Ammon.

2. Hold on to the promise

Jephthah clearly understood that God had delivered the Ammonites into his hands. So, even though in the end the Ammonites didn't listen to what he had to say, he still believed and held on to God's promise.

III. Victory by Divine Power (v29-40)

1. The Spirit of Jehovah is with you (v29-33)

Because the Spirit of the Lord was with Jephthah, Jephthah successfully captured 20 cities of the Ammonites, ending 18 years of suffering and humiliation for the Israelites. Today, the Holy Spirit is not only always with us, but also within us, empowering us to serve, and helping us to change our lives.

2. Know the truth and avoid disaster (v34-40)

Although Jephthah experienced victory, he sacrificed his daughter. The tragedy of his sacrificing his daughter was entire because he did not truly understand God’s will. Therefore, we need to understand the truth so that we know that the victory that God promises to us is because of God Himself, not because we can exchange anything with Him.

Conclusion：

God can raise up anyone who is willing to be used by God, including the humble or weak. So let us all be willing to be mighty warriors used by God!
