Pastor Aimee Mayol

Judges 3:31(ESV) 

After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed 600 of the Philistines with an ox goad, and he also saved Israel. 

To Face the Opposition, We Need…

1. Godly Discontent 

Romans 8:23-25 (NLT) 

23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. 24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. 25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.) 

2. Just Enough Faith  

Ephesians 6:16 (ESV) 

16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 

3. Courage To Do Something New 

Isaiah 41:10 (ESV) 

10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

4. Willingness To Use What You Have  

Judges 3:31(ESV) 

After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed 600 of the Philistines with an ox goad… 

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV)

For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”.
