    Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you." The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not yo...

    Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Don't fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshap...

The Mighty Warrior

  • Yahweh's angel appeared to him, and said to him, 'Yahweh is with you, you mighty man of valor!' Judges 6:12 WEB

    Dust and chaff drifted through the air as Gideon threshed the wheat. He was hiding inside of a winepress so that the Midianite raiders would not come and take the little that they had. With no breeze at all, it was dirty and hot.

    While he was working, the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and called him a mighty warrior, a mighty man of valor. Though in reality he was the least in his family, who was the least in his tribe. Gideon was the least of the least.

    The Lord saw something inside of Gideon that he did not know was there, yet. There was more to Gideon than the normal eye could see. God used Gideon and three-hundred men to defeat thousands of Midianites without lifting a sword, just because Gideon believed God. Even though he was scared, he did what the Lord told him one step at a time, and he won the battle. Gideon went through it, not around it.

    God knows what He put inside of you and you are well able to do what He calls you to do. Even if you are the least of the least, the smallest of the small, God has a plan for you and will enable you to complete it. He sees something in you that no one else sees. If you will spend sometime alone with Him and get in tune, He will take your life to a new level, and He will make the smallest into a mighty warrior.

    Prayer: Father, I thank You for equipping me with all that I need to do my part here. I choose to trust You even when I feel under qualified, like I don't belong, like I am not the one that should be doing this. I know that if You bring me to it, You will bring me through and I am holding on to You today. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

    Note: Good morning and happy Sunday! We pray you have a most blessed, peaceful and lovely day! Our second live service will be happening this morning at 11am EST. Just click on the Watch item on the site menu to find the link to join. The room will be opening about 15 minutes before the start of service (10:45am).

ALSO, the Spiritually Single group is hosting an ongoing event called "Support Your Church Ministries" to encourage and gather supporters here at RHM!

Amen! The beginning to bearing fruit is to follow Jesus. Whe He becons us and urges us to come, we must go! As we begin that climb up Jacob's ladder, He asks more of us, as we continue to climb we find we are going the right way, His way! He is the way, the truth and the life!!! Step out onto that frst rung and let Him take you higher. I have heard there is an awesome view at the top!!

Amen!! Thank you pastor Dion for the daily devotion. :-) My one friend Kebbie, would always tell me when I was fighting the worse part of my medication battle. God, brought you to it he will see you through it. She always heard thatb from her dad. Her dad was a very blessed man and he always walked with, Jesus. He was a good family man and did everything for them. When she told me that I said your dad told you that. We both looked at each other and smiled... <3

I believe this.  I don't sense a call.  I desire fellowship.  Maybe a holding pattern.  Just a moment at a time.  I liked church today.  Like to say something more of certainty as to how often I can watch except to look as can.  Are there other pastors in prayer with you?  I now prayer together is good.  Hearing what God has to say among others joined with you Pastor Todd.  Always sat in prayer area with those in leadership to hear God speak among all attending.  Pray discernment to know if services should continue.  Amen
