In order for Gideon to start thinking like God, his thinking had to change. In order for us to think like Jesus our thinking must change. We must first stop thinking of ourselves as sinners and begin to think of ourselves as righteous. Our feeling and circumstances do not validate Truth they just validtate what you believe to be true. Stop allowing your circumstances to establish your belief system. Just because a word from God doesn't make sense to you at the time doesn't mean it not from God. Gideon had to change the way he was thinking to step into his destiny.
