And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Judges 6:12.
Selah
Then all the Midianites and Amalekites, the people of the East, gathered together; and they crossed over and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel. 34 But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him. Judges 6:33,34.
What turned Gideon from being weak kneed and paralyzed by fear, into a bold and fearless leader. One was his father's affirmation. Two was the Spirit of the LORD. Nowhere does it say he took a class on the art of persuasion. He didn't listen to a bunch of self-help tapes. He didn't join Toastmasters.
