Judges 8:4  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. In this section, Gideon had just defeated the Midianites and were pursuing Zeebah and Zalmunna, two kings of Midian who had escaped. In this message, we want to talk about something that you don’t hear much about and that is what to do during times of faintness. Talking about this topic is often taboo among Christians because “As Christians, we’re not supposed to be faint because we serve a God of power and if you even mention being faint, then you must not be praying enough!” We do serve a God of power, but talking about this topic does not mean someone is not prayerful, nor does it give an excuse to become slothful. There is a healthy way to look at this topic. We must be careful of extreme beliefs.

  Galatians 4:16-17 (KJV) Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?   (17)   They zealously affect you, but not well … The letter to the Galatians was written by Paul to prove that justification is not obtained through rites or laws and that they are not essential to obtain salvation. During this time of Paul’s ministry, there were religious teachers who were trying to get these new Christians in Galatia to believe that they could only be accepted by God if they kept the commandments of the Old Testament. The Old Testament Law was intended by God to constantly remind people of how sinful they were and how much in need of a Savior they were. This knowledge was intended by God to lead people to Christ for their salvation. Paul is pointing out that those who would focus more on the Law for their spiritual justification minimize the power of Christ as their Mediator and Justifier because they are depending on their religious works rather than up...
