God calls Gideon and reminds us that we too have a calling to fight with faith and save the world. We must advance in spiritual warfare with faith and become active participants rather than bystanders. Additionally, we should wait for God with true hope, not empty expectations, in our lives. A life of faith should be lived in union with the community, not based on individual opinions, and we must act according to God's will.

Did you have a good week? Hmm. You have likely experienced that living as a Christian in this world is not easy, and it is not simple. And you must have felt that winning the spiritual war is not something that happens just by talk. So, instead of sharing the gospel with your unbelieving family and maintaining your relationship with the Lord, you may be influenced by the world, feeling complicated in your heart or empty because you haven't been keeping up with your devotional life. I hope you will compose your hearts again and fill them with God.
Let’s briefly review last week’s message. Let’s read the sermon title. Begin. Will you fight, or will you quit? Yes. Amen. We will do it again. Some of you didn't, so begin. Will you fight? Or will you quit? Amen. Amen. Yes. Please respond. Amen. Yes. Judges chapter 5 records everything: the story of Barak and Jael fighting against the Canaanite king Jabin, the tribes that actively participated and those that stood by, and the story of Meroz and Sisera, and Sisera's mother who did not help the Lord. Just as their stories are recorded, all the stories of our lives are also being recorded. Today, reflect on what kind of record you are leaving behind.
The spiritual war that began in Eden continues until the day the Lord returns, and so we are fighting a spiritual war every day. What is the core of this war? It is faith. Our war is not a physical battle fought with guns, but a war of whether we will hold onto the truth or the lies of the world. Therefore, if we have a firm belief in the truth, we can win the war at any time, but without faith, it is like being without weapons and we can only lose. I must reflect daily on whether I have faith in God's Word and truth. And I must continually ask the Holy Spirit to give me faith in the Word.
