Believe For Them Judges 4:4-10

Believe For Them Judges 4:4-10

Deborah There are a couple of unique things about her time as a judge so I will two Sunday’s on her. First is that she is a woman of God being used in a male dominated world. Her saving of Israel is one of the longer parts of Judges.

Today I want to look at her work with Barak. She summons Barak to her then gives him a Prophesy from the Lord. “Go to battle with Jabin’s army and his general Sisera has been given into your hand.”

1.      To believe for him.
a. Barak lacks confidence
b. confidence that God can will win the victory.
c. Confidence that God will win it through him.
d. He needs Deborah to go with Him.
e. He looks to Deborah’s faith in God. She must believe for him.

2.      People who needed others to support them
a. Gideon has a fleece
b. Moses had Aaron
c. Balaam had a donkey
d. Paul had Barnabas

3.      People toady need someone to believe in them.
a. Ezekiel 22:30 (no one found to stand in the gap)
b. People do not know of God
c. lost without a shepherd

d. they need you to believe for them
e. they need you to believe in them
f. Isa 6:8 “here I am, send me.”

Like Barak needed Deborah to believe for him and go with him, people today need you to believe for them, go to battle for them. They need to walk in your faith for a while until they have their own. Will you stand with them? Will you go with them, until the battle is won? Many lives will be changed when you dare to believe for them.
