(Judges 6:16) Gideon, “I will be with you.” Because he was obedient.
There were too many people for God to receive the Glory, thus He cut down the size so that with a few people God could do a great work. (1 Pet 5:1-11) “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore under Gods almighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. (Rom 7:4) Vows of Marriage to Christ.
CONDITIONS OF BEING A DISCIPLE

3. (Math 16:24) Deny ourselves rightful pleasures, help others to Christ. Follow Him, Jesus is the leader, we are the followers
4. (John 13:34-35) The sign of a disciple is love. Don’t fight back, defend yourself in Love.
5. (John 8:31) Continue in Gods word, don’t follow after each strange thing that comes along.
6. (Luke 14:33) Forsake everything if necessary.
