Trisha Roselle: In the Midst of the Storm Decree, “It is Well” (2 Kings 4:23)
Trisha speaks at King of Kings Worship Center on 12/28/2022. Quotes: “When the Shunammite woman’s son died, Gehazi came up to her and said, "is there something wrong with you?" She said, "It is well." I'm thought, would I say it is well? I'd probably say, "Get out of my way, my son just died.” I think I would've been a little bit passionate about it. She was not satisfied to speak with Gehazi, she wanted Elijah, the one who gave her the Word about her son. Elijah arrived and I was thinking about the array of emotions that she had to go through; yet her confession remained, "It is well."

When you start reading Judges 6, well, I didn't put it up there,
but let me just read you a portion,
for some of you, if you're not familiar with it.
This book, I love this book,
because many of us can identify with Gideon.
He was going through a very serious time in his life,
and in Judges 6:1, as soon as I get there,
it says here, "The Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord."
Now the Israelites were messing up too,
"And the Lord gave them into the hand of Midian
for seven years." And it says, "And the hand of Midian
prevailed against Israel.
Because of the Midian, the Israelites made themselves dens,
which are in the mountains, and the caves,
and the strongholds."
And it says, "For whenever Israel has sown their seed,
the Midianites and the Amalekites,
and the people of the east came up against them.
They would encamp against them and destroy the crops,
as far as Gaza, and leave no nourishment for Israel,
and no ox, or no sheep, or donkey."
In other words, you take two steps forward,
and then you go five steps back, all right?
And so they had, he was really struggling with fear.
There was just so much going on,
and he was really discouraged.
And so that word, Midian, when you look it up,
it means bitterness, and strife, and contending.
We cannot, again, and I know you hear this
all the time from us, you cannot allow bitterness,
unforgiveness, and strife to be in your heart. It will hinder you.
They were hidden, and then that was an open door
for the enemy to harass them.
The Amalekites means, it represented arrogance,
and pride, and spiritual blindness.
And so the Bible says in Proverbs.
that a wise man or woman has a teachable spirit.
When you're not teachable, that's arrogant, that's pride.
That's like you know more than Jesus.
But that's where you have to have an open heart,
and be teachable.
That's really, really important in every dimension,
whether it's in church, whether it's at home,
whether it's in your workplace, you have to be teachable.
And so that was something
that really, really hindered Gideon.
And the Spirit of the Lord came to Gideon,
and he called him, "A mighty man of valor."
Gideon's like, "Who are you talking to, me?" But see that's what,
the way the Lord sees us is the finished product.
He doesn't see us. I really believe the enemy sees us
as that finished product,
he just doesn't want us to know who we are.
He doesn't want us to see the sword,
and the power, and might that we operate in.
We had that dunamis power, that dynamite power of God
that is within us.
But think about it, if we all were flowing in that,
if we all were not backing down,
we all were like in that place,
and like even though in the natural, you can get nervous,
in the natural, you can have your thought processes,
but you're not backing down. Imagine what would happen?
Imagine, I'm talking about the ecclesia,
the churches at large.
But, you know what? God is raising them up.
I'm dreaming a dream when I see this force,
this army rise up of ecclesia people,
that's taken a stand, that's saying,
"Not on my watch, back down,"
where the parents stand up and say,
"You're not having a drag queen come in
and go to the library and read a story."
When a Christian can't go in there,
but a drag queen can go in there? Are you kidding me?
It's going to take the people to rise up,
and say, "Not on my watch." But it also takes us praying.
Prayer is what makes the difference.
So God is raising up warriors.
Gideon, his name means one who cuts down trees.
It literally, the root of his name means "destroyer."
The Lord is calling each and every one of us,
"Mighty men and women of valor."
It's like, "Yeah, well you don't know what I've gone through."
Well, the Lord knows the end from the beginning.
And so he wants you to see yourself,
I want you to start speaking that over yourself,
that you are mighty men & women of valor,
that you can do all things
through Christ who strengthens you.
