Join us as we hear an incredible message from Priscilla Shirer! Join us LIVE for service every Sunday at 10:30am CST.
hey there i want to say thank you so
much for letting me be a part of your
sunday
i love shoreline church and i love every
opportunity that i have
to be a part of what god is doing
through this church whether it’s in this
capacity when i have an opportunity to
minister to you
or whether it’s just you know my family
and i sneaking in and being a part of
service and just sitting
here most of the time at the white rock
campus and just being a part of church
we
love the life of god that just pulsates
and his presence that is
felt at shoreline so i’m just saying
hello to all of you at the white rock
campus and also the north campus
and then of course all of you that are
joining us online
the presence of god is as much with you
in your home
or wherever it may be that you may be
watching today
as he is here with us and so we’re
grateful for that
thank you for including me to earl and
onika
and for the entire staff and team you
know y’all are our people you’re our
family
and so it is our pleasure to be able to
participate
i love god’s word i love sharing it i
love talking about it
listen if you were here with me right
now we were just sitting across from
each other with a cup of coffee
i would still love to just sit down and
talk to you
about our god and the truth that we
discover from his word
i believe that every single time we come
to the scriptures
whether it’s individually by ourselves
having quiet time or whether it’s like
this
in a corporate gathering whether
physically or online
no matter what the dynamic is every
single time
we ought to expect to actually feel the
warm breath of god brushing across our
cheeks
as he speaks a present word to us so i
want you to even picture that right now
before i share with you
just a few simple thoughts that have
encouraged and challenged me
from this portion of scripture i want
you to picture that right now
that god’s breathed word
for you today like not just random
theoretical scripture reading no no
actually god has something to say to you
today so if i were you
i would lean in on the edge of my seat
with my chin
in my hands in eager anticipation
with my heart and hands open to say
yes lord whatever you want me to hear
whatever you want me to get
i’m ready to receive let’s pray lord i
thank you
i thank you that you speak to us clearly
and obviously by your spirit
and so father i pray that in these next
few minutes
you would do it only you can take this
one little simple message
and divided how many ever how many ever
multiple thousands of ways it needs to
be divided
so that every single person under the
sound of my voice today will know they
have heard the voice of god
and father i ask that you would allow
the words of my mouth and the meditation
of my heart to be
acceptable to you in jesus name i pray
amen i want to start by telling you that
the past two years really going on two
and a half
years now the past two and a half years
for myself and my family have been
incredibly difficult years
personally they’ve been difficult we
have had
one struggle after another one trying
circumstance one disappointment one bit
of discouragement after another
most of it has been around the loss of
loved ones
friends and family members just to give
you
some context and frame of reference for
the kind of uh circumstances that we
have had to face
over the past two to two and a half
years we have lost
eight family members back to back
we lost uh my cousin she was 38 years
old
in the prime of life four little girls
she was not just my cousin she was
actually my best friend
she was my road dog she was the one i
called when we were gonna go to the
movies together we’re gonna figure out
how to put our kids in bed so we could
all meet up for the movies and
and go out to eat together she was my
best friend
and in the blink of an eye one day her
heart just stopped beating and she went
home to be with the lord
six months after that i would lose an
uncle six months after that i would lose
an
aunt a couple months after my aunt i
would lose
her husband and uncle by marriage who
had been precious to us for many many
decades as an
uncle and then i would lose a
grandfather
i lost my mother and six months after my
mother
i lost my beloved mother-in-law jerry’s
mother
person after person taken away
a week after my own mother’s funeral i
had to go into the hospital for
a surgery that could not be put off any
longer i had tried to delay it over and
over again
but there was something in my lung that
they had seen there that they were
wondering about and it had gotten to the
point where they knew they had to remove
it the problem was they couldn’t just
remove
it because it was embedded so deeply
into my lung that they told me they were
going to have to take out
the entire upper lobe of my left lung
so a week after my mother’s funeral i
went in
for that surgery it was about four or
five days later as we were in the
hospital that they came back with the
pathology report that that
little image that they had seen there in
my lung was actually cancer
lung cancer the most unexpected
surprising disappointing discouraging
thing
compounded on top of the grief that we
were already feeling
the emotional havoc that we were already
experiencing not only me
and jerry personally and my own sons but
my entire extended family we were just
riveted by emotional chaos
that was in january of 2020.
well you know what happened after that
february and march of 2020 came
and the compounded trauma for all of us
ensued we didn’t just experience one
pandemic did we
we experienced several one on top of the
other
because it wasn’t just a medical
pandemic that riveted the globe
but then there has been also a racial
pandemic
there’s been a political pandemic there
has been
trouble on top of trouble every time we
turn around there’s a new issue that
we’re facing
whether collectively globally or whether
it’s one that we’re facing in our own
communities or whether it’s the one
you’re facing underneath the roof of
your own
house i know that while your story might
not be identical to mine you do have a
story
there have been things that have
happened in your life and it wasn’t just
one thing
and maybe you could have handled it if
it was just two things you know spread
apart by months or years the problem is
that we’ve had one thing pile itself on
top of another thing
and then as soon as we feel like we’ve
caught our collective breath from that
thing
then another one shows up across our
social media feed or a doctor’s
diagnosis that calls or
the kid’s principle at your kid’s school
they call with another issue it’s
one on top of another and i know the
tears that fall from your eyes
i know the hurt that may be embedded
deep down in your heart
i know how it feels to turn your eyes
and your hands upward towards heaven
and say god i trust you but
how could you allow this much difficulty
in this short amount of space
and time there is encouragement
and there is conviction and comfort and
challenge
that has come for me about what to do in
the midst of difficult circumstances
and how to face how we can have the
courage to
face whatever it is that life throws at
us and i find that encouragement in two
simple verses of scripture that i want
to point your attention to
in the book of judges chapter seven
if you have your bible you know if you
actually still use the bible with paper
pages go ahead and turn over to judges
chapter seven if not
then you know your ipad your iphone any
manner of eyeness will get you to judges
chapter seven and let me just tell
you that in these few chapters that we
find right here embedded in the middle
of the book of judges we meet a
hero of the old testament and his name
is gideon
and just like us gideon has experienced
some hard stuff in fact
that’s kind of what makes him a hero
that it’s despite the hard stuff that he
still rises up in triumph
he’s still in obedience to god in
commitment to god goes into
a battle that should override him that
should overwhelm him
he is weak and they are strong it
actually ends up being
140 000 midianite soldiers against his
meager 300 and yet he comes out
victorious
that’s what makes him one of the heroes
one of the most memorable
personalities in all of the old
testament so before we ever meet him in
judges chapter 7 which i’m going to
direct your attention to those first two
verses in just a second
before we ever meet him we find gideon
feeling much like you and i have felt
beat up and bruised and battered and
disappointed and discouraged and a
little bit
fearful i don’t know about you but i’ve
walked on eggshells a little bit i’ve
found and that’s that’s not my normal
personality i don’t kind of get up
looking for bad news
i’m an optimist by default my default
personality and nature is that way but i
have found myself
over these past years just wondering
what’s the next shoe
that’s going to drop what’s the next bit
of news that we’re going to get what’s
the next
loss that we’re going to experience
what’s the next difficulty
that we’re going to have gideon knows
how that feels
because the verses that perceive the
chapters that proceed when introducing
us to gideon tells us that gideon
and the entire nation just like our
entire nation
has experienced one trauma on top of
another
the midianites their enemies have
wreaked havoc
on them not just once and not just twice
and not just for two weeks or two months
not just for seven months but for
seven consecutive years the enemy keeps
on showing up
and then just when they feel like he has
backed down the enemy shows up again
and the midianites have wreaked so much
havoc
on them that it says they can’t even
live comfortably in their homes and
communities anymore
their homes have been burned down by
fire their economics have been ravaged
as they have
um just pillaged their entire towns and
so now they’ve had to escape from their
communities they’re living in
caves that they’ve had to carve out on
the sides of mountain in other words
words their entire lives
have been turned upside down and i bet
if we were in the room
together right now somebody would have
just said amen
because you know how it feels to have
your whole
life turned upside down
i know that i do but gideon
having run in fear and timidity and a
bit of insecurity that’s how we first
meet him in judges chapter six
he has been running in fear and
insecurity because the midianites keep
on coming
but god met him and god changed his
story and changed the gps coordinates on
his destiny and reminded him who he was
and sent him on on a mission and told
him much like he had told moses
previously
i’ve got a plan for you you’re the one
that’s going to lead the nation
to victory and on the heels of hearing
that from the mouth of god
we meet gideon in judges chapter 7
verses 1 and 2. and it says this
then jerubale parentheses
that is gideon look wait a minute let’s
let’s just stop for a second because i
can’t even get to the rest of this verse
without pausing at the fact
that the writer has actually called
gideon by an entirely different name did
you notice that
i don’t know what translation of the
bible you’re viewing it from but
whichever one you’re reading you should
see there that gideon is in parentheses
and now this writer has given him our
hero the one who is known by the name
gideon
he has now at the top of this chapter
referenced him
as jerubale jerubale means
baal fighter in previous verses we have
found
that gideon went back to his father’s
home and he tore down the altars of baal
the idols of baal in other words he
pushed past the fear and insecurity that
had been
indicative of his identity in the
previous chapters
and he had risen up in the power of god
and he’d gone back to his home
and he’d change the trajectory of his
entire family line
by becoming a bail fighter and tearing
down the idols that were
uh specific to who bale was in that
community so now
here at the top of chapter seven the
writer doesn’t even call him by the same
name anymore
he basically says of our hero you are
not the same person that you used to be
everything has changed which means the
way you
face the enemy today is going to be
different than the way you face the
enemy yesterday
it means that yes it doesn’t mean your
troubles have changed
it doesn’t mean gideon that you’re not
getting ready to face this
same enemy that has ravaged you for the
past seven years but it does mean that
this time
that you’re going in as a brand new
person with a brand new perspective
with a brand new attitude with a brand
new identity
on this sunday morning i came to tell
you brother or sister
that you are not the same person that
you used to be
and here’s the deal we get the privilege
of having something gideon
did not he didn’t have you know the
bible
he didn’t have his story in black and
white already written down
he had no way of knowing that when his
story was penned
the writer was going to call him one
thing in chapter six
but then call him something completely
different in chapter seven
he had no way of knowing what you and i
have the privilege of knowing
that once we come in contact with god
almighty
once the holy spirit of god sets us on
divine mission
and changes the trajectory of our life
that our chapter seven
can be completely different than our
chapter six that you
are not the same person that you used to
be and here’s the thing
you’ve been forged by the fire of the
difficulty you faced in chapter six
without it without those midianites
without that trouble without that
diagnosis
without that phone call without that
fear that you felt
without that bit of insecurity that you
had to push through
without that disappointment without that
grief
you would not be the brand new person
that god is making you into
in fact the scriptures say that when we
meet jesus christ in
salvation a miracle happens at the
moment we place faith in jesus
a miracle happens second corinthians 5
17
he says the old is gone and the new
has come listen when you came to jesus
for salvation you were not just changed
you were exchanged you are
not the same person that you used to be
but then that transformation continues
throughout the course of your life
mostly not through the good times but
through the bad times
we actually become entirely different
human beings
tender in places we weren’t tender
before
a bold in places we were timid before
we have perspective and breadth of
thought and commitment to truth and
we’ve got some backbone and some
fortification we never would have had
in the chapter seven of our lives if we
hadn’t come through the chapter six
difficulties that we were allowed to
face
so here’s what i want to tell you that i
know you’ve been through some hard stuff
i have too but i know you’ve struggled
i have to that i know you’ve cried the
tears and you’ve been through the hard
stuff and you’ve had to recalibrate your
whole life
and you’ve been through financial
struggle and health issues and you’ve
lost some loved ones i
got it i know the feeling but here’s
also what i believe the holy spirit came
to tell you today
that what you’re about to face in
chapter 7 you are facing as an
entirely different person you are not
the same person that you used to be
your entire identity has shifted so now
where you would have not had mercy
towards someone now you can have mercy
where you wouldn’t have felt compassion
or empathy towards another
individual because you couldn’t feel
their pain you hadn’t been through what
they’ve been through
well now you have so there’s compassion
that is oozing out of everything that
you say
there is a burden now you have towards
other that or others that you wouldn’t
ordinarily have
high school student and university
student there is a boldness that you
have
in truth and what it is that you claim
to believe
now you know it for sure because of what
you’ve had to walk through in chapter
six
in chapter seven you’re a different
person
and what a tragedy it would be if we
come into chapter seven of our life the
next
season the next stage the next portion
of our life if we come into it
like we haven’t gone through nothing
what a waste
all of that would have been if we get
into chapter seven and don’t know we got
a brand new name
we have a brand new identity that we
don’t have to act the same and
walk the same and live the same and talk
the same and succumb maybe to
hopelessness
and despair in the exact same way that
no we are not
the same people that we used to be so
the midianites may still be there
but the way we face the midianites the
enemy this discouragement the trouble
the trials the way we face it changes
not because they’ve changed but because
we have
you got a brand new name when i was in
high school um
i took on this little experiment i was
going to a brand new school for my
freshman year
and so i decided that since i was going
to a brand new huge public school
duncanville high school was where i went
there were about 750 kids that were in
our freshman class i was coming from a
little private school there were like 13
kids in my little private school class
so
to me it was this whole new huge world
of a bunch of brand new people
for the most part they didn’t know me i
didn’t know them i thought it’d be kind
of cool if i just went in and you know
changed my name
so i told my one friend who i knew from
youth group at the church
i said listen when you introduce me to
new people tell them that my name is dk
i just made a little silly nickname two
initials d
and a k i put them together and i said
don’t introduce me as priscilla
introduce me as dk
so she did and y’all it caught on
for the next four years every single
person at my high school including the
teachers
the counselors the principals everybody
called me dk
in fact it caught on so much so that
still to this day if i’m in a grocery
store or a mall or an airport
and somebody somebody says or on twitter
hey dk
i know they went to high school with me
because during those four years of my
life
nobody called me priscilla so
it was no big deal little experiment my
parents didn’t mind
until one day when i got sick at school
and my parents had to come my mom had to
come and pick me up i had a fever and
i remember laying on that little cot
they have in the nurse’s station you
know and they pulled a little
drapery there and i remember hearing my
mom the click clack of her little heels
as she walked up to the counter there
where um the nurse was and she said i’ve
come to pick up priscilla
and the nurse said who she said i came
to pick up brazil you call me she’s sick
right
they toggled back and forth for a moment
and discovered oh you mean
dk so i went home with my mom and
she didn’t say anything to me she gave
me a little while to recover and feel
better
but then as soon as i felt well enough i
won’t forget my mom
saying to me as she looked at me with
that mama eye that she would give me
she said to me now listen girl i don’t
mind this little experiment you’ve had
going on for the past four years but she
said in just a little while
just a few more months here you’re
getting ready to graduate
and when you graduate they’re gonna have
a ceremony
and when they have a ceremony they’re
gonna hand you a little piece of paper
she said priscilla when you walk up on
that stage and they hand you that piece
of paper there better not be a d
or a k on it because i don’t care what
other people have called you
there is only one or two people me and
your father who actually have the right
to give you your name there is only one
who has the right to give you your name
i don’t care what other people have
called you
and i don’t care what you’ve even called
yourself i don’t care what the past
season of life has made you feel
like you may have felt that you are a
person who is steeped in fear
or insecurity or depression those are
real feelings you may
feel angry or abused or taken advantage
of
or hopeless or like you’re in a puddle
of despair you may rightfully feel those
things but
that ain’t who you are you are
who god says you are you can do exactly
what your god says
that you can do no matter how your past
has sought to define you
no matter how you have behaved no matter
what struggles you have
you are not your struggles and you are
not your
behavior you are not what other people
have said about you or what you’ve said
about yourself
you have a brand new name
and according according to ephesians
chapter 2 verse 10 you
are his workmanship
created in christ jesus so that you can
do the good works
he prepared before you were even a
thought in your mom
or dad’s eyes even with the midianites
on your trail the way they’ve been on
your trail
and the way they’ve been on mine we can
still do
everything that god has called us to do
you are not the same person that you
used to be
verse one goes on to say that all the
people who were with jerubale the jail
fight
the bail fighter gideon all the people
who were with him
they rose early and they camped beside
the spring of herod let’s pause there
now remember at this point gideon
jerubale the bale fighter he is now on
his way into another battle with the
midianites who’ve ravaged them already
for seven years he’s already intimidated
he’s already insecure walking on
eggshells because he’s meeting up with
this enemy
that has already proven to be a
formidable foe
and so as he heads towards this battle
he’s got 32
000 soldiers at his disposal all these
resources to stand up against
the 142 thousand million night soldiers
he’s done the best he can to get all his
resources together
and they begin their march towards this
battle
and as they march towards this battle
the author of this text wants you to
know
that jerubale camps at the spring of
herod
he tells us an exact geographical
location here’s what you need to know
about the spring of herod it was a lake
that was formed from an effervescent
continuous flow of water
that spilled out from the side of mount
gilboa
this seemed like it would have been an
appropriate place for gideon to take the
32
000. now remember this is a continuous
flow of water which means
there would have been vegetation all
around the banks of it
and if you’re taking a bunch of soldiers
to prepare for battle
they’re going to need fresh water to
drink they’re going to need to have
vegetation around so that they can have
a continuous supply
of all the nutrients and food that
they’re going to need to sustain them
for the battle that is ahead
and not only that but the spring of
herod was also
located on the side of a mountain that
overlooked the valley
where the battle was going to be waged
that means they had a clear
perspective and a clear view they were
able to see
the moment that the midianite soldiers
began to encroach upon them
this seemed like the perfect place
there’s only one problem
the word herod actually means
to tremble it means
fear so gideon
a man who now has had a brand new
identity shift
who the the living god has come to in
the previous chapter
and called him out of fear and
insecurity
and has set him on a brand new path this
man who is not the same person who he
used to be
takes all the people who are with him
and basically camps
at a place called fear
let me tell you something when you’re
not the same person that you used to be
you have no business going where you
used to go
throughout the old testament the spring
of herod was a landing place for
lots of people who were running in fear
king saul at one point
when he was told in first samuel chapter
28 by a prophet
that the philistines were coming upon
him and that they were going to destroy
him
we find that king saul went to this
exact same spring
running in fear and insecurity and
timidity
this place was marked by trembling and
fear
and insecurity gideon had no business
now camping out and wallowing in and
hanging out in a place
that was marked by the thing that was no
longer indicative of the person that he
had been called to be
when you are not the same person that
you used to be
you ain’t got no business going to the
same places that you used to go
and so i ask you where
are you camping out lately i’m not
asking you do you feel
fear i’m asking you do you wallow in it
i’m not asking you do you feel
insecurity or anxiety about those
issues or even a sense of despair and
hopelessness
those feelings might be natural and
normal to us given the fact that there
are 140 000 midianite soldiers breathing
down our neck
of course you’re going to feel a tinge
of fear in those scenarios
but i’m asking you where are you camping
out
where are you spending your time what
are you allowing to be the environment
that most
influences the decisions that you make
and what are the words that you’re
allowing to come out of your mouth or
the words that you’re allowing
to feed you in the environments that you
are in watch
where you go because when you’re not the
same person that you used to be
you have no business going to some of
the same places you used to go
and the truth is that i do mean this in
a physical sense
who are the people that you’re hanging
around what are the environments that
you’re allowing to influence
you who are the people or what is the
kind of culture that you’re allowing
into your closest fear of influence
listen it matters high school student
university student listen to me
it matters the places that you’re going
the environments that you’re cultivating
and that you’re hanging around those
dynamics
are significant to the kind of
perspective that you are going to have
because this place where gideon and
these 32 000
soldiers were on this occasion that was
the posture they were going to have
from which to view the enemy do you
realize
that the actual location that you choose
the stance that you choose to have the
environment that you’re
in it actually shapes the way you view
the difficulties that you’re about to
come head-to-head with in your life
so yes it matters it matters what
physical
actual environments you’re in and what
you allow yourself to be a part of but
even more than that
within this context i really am thinking
of it in a mental
and emotional and a spiritual sense
are you going to places that you have no
business going
are you allowing those thoughts and
those feelings to actually govern your
life
paul said that your thoughts don’t
govern you the apostle paul
he says when you have those thoughts
those feelings that are actually
contrary to your new identity in christ
you take those thoughts captive and you
subject them to the truth
of who god has called you to be and
here’s what i know about who god has
called you to be
that he has not given you a spirit of
fear
but of power and of love
and of a sound mind when that’s
the person that you are then that’s the
kind of environment you allow yourself
to hang out in
not only physically but mentally
emotionally
you square yourself up with the truth of
who god has called you to be
and here’s what’s so significant about
this little portion of scripture i mean
we ain’t even got out the first verse
yet
here’s what’s so significant about it
gideon wasn’t the only person going to
the
spring of trembling the lake of anxiety
the little oasis of fear
he took 32 000 people with him do you
recognize
that if he would have camped out on the
mountain of victory
that if he would have camped out on the
lake of security
if he would have camped out in a place
that was more indicative of the victory
that they were about to have of the new
identity
that he had been given that not only
would he have gone there
but all the people he was influencing
would have gone there too
so the question is not just about where
you’re hanging out
the question is also about the people
that you’re leading
and influencing the people who are
watching you and that are falling in
step with you
because don’t think for a moment that
it’s just you who’s at stake here
there are people whose eyes are on you
you know the folks who you work with
that all know you’re a christian
they’re watching where you go because
where you go they following
mother of small children father of small
children or teenagers
or young adult children you need to know
that you’re setting the temperature for
your
entire household the culture of that
basketball team or volleyball team that
you may be on
young adult student you need to know
that where you go there are other people
who you’re influencing
on your twitter feed on your instagram
feed your facebook followers
what you post matters and the reason why
it matters is because wherever gideon
went the 32 000
went with him when you are not the same
person that you used to be
you got to make sure you don’t go to the
same places that you used to go anymore
verse 2 says and the lord said to gideon
the people who are with you are too many
for me to give get midian into your hand
the reason why is because israel
they just might become boastful saying
that my own power has delivered me
without reading through the next few
verses i’ll just tell you that god now
begins to go on
a whittling process where he takes the
32 000
down to about 10 000 and then he still
says to gideon you still got too many
soldiers
on your on your at your disposal so he
takes the 10 000
down to three hundred and then once
gideon only has this
meager scanty amount of soldiers
available to him
to face the 140 midianite soldiers that
are coming against them
the lord says to gideon in verse 7 now
i will deliver you with the 300.
you know what’s so interesting about
this is that we hear the lord saying to
gideon
you have in verse 2 he says the people
who are with you
are too many now remember at that point
he had 32 000. the midianites were at
140 000.
we would expect that god would say the
people who are with them
are too many for me to give them into
your hands he doesn’t say that
he doesn’t care what the resources are
that the enemy has at their disposal
he looks at his child and he says
the people who are with you are too many
you have too much resource at your
disposal
too many resources too many people too
much skill
too much talent too much savvy too much
flash too much ability
on your own if i let you win with all
those resources you’re going to be
tempted to say
i did this for myself so i’ve got to get
you into a position that you realize
that it is not by power and it is not by
might but it is by the spirit of god
and what is this lesson for us it tells
us that when you are not the same person
that you used to be
not only do you have no business going
to where you used to go
but you also don’t need everything you
thought you needed the resources that
you have
they already might seem too small but
sometimes you will see
god whittling you down to emotional
reserves
that you feel like are too small for
this relationship you’re trying to
maintain
the smallest amount of what you feel
like is the patience you need or the
passion that you need or the creativity
that you need or the money that you need
or
the connections that you need to make
this particular thing come to pass
and you stand there going god why have
you allowed my 32
000 to come down to this meager 300 i
can’t win
like this i’m too limited and i’m too
weak
and when we say i’m too weak god
whispers back to us
my strength is made perfect
in that weakness when you’re not the
same person that you used to be
you don’t go to the same places that you
used to go and you don’t
need everything you thought you need
and with just this meager 300
a now gallant warrior
goes into battle against 140 000
and god said to him the exact same thing
that i believe the spirit of god would
say to you
and to me as we face whatever midianites
are coming in the rest of our year
that we have ahead he said to gideon
i will deliver you
with the 300. you don’t need
more you just need god’s hand of
blessing on the 300 you already have
you don’t need to become something more
than what you are right now
you don’t need more resources at your
disposal i know you feel
small and limited and weak after
everything that the past 18 months has
done
to you and your marriage and your
children and your health and your
finances and the struggles that we’ve
all faced i
got it but god says the 300 you got left
is really all you ever needed to begin
with
i got you lord jesus i thank
you i thank you father
that you have positioned us for victory
and lord we admit it has been hard and
we have struggled to rest
in your sovereignty but today we
recommit
ourselves and we thank you
that you will deliver us with the 300
