Trisha Roselle: Tearing Down Altars of Unbelief (Judges 6:25)
Trisha speaks at King of Kings Worship Center in Basking Ridge, NJ, on March 29, 2023. 
Quotes: Judge 6:25-26 says, “That night the Lord said to Gideon, Take your father’s bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has and cut down the Asherah [symbol of the goddess Asherah] that is beside it; and build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this stronghold with stones laid in proper order.”

And so, Gideon, his name means warrior,
one who cuts down trees, it means destroyer.
That name, when you look up the root of it,
and I don't remember how I read it,
but it has to do with Armageddon.
Gideon was like a wild man, but he didn't see himself that way.
You see, God tells us to "call those things
which be not as though they are." (Romans 4:21)
He's saying, "Listen, I'm going to prophesy over you
and I'm going to call you and I'm going to keep speaking over you
until you start seeing that, and that you come
into agreement with who I've called you to be."
So, we have got to, even tonight, we're going to pray.
"Lord, let me come out of agreement
with the lies of the enemy that I have been believing.
I'm always going to have a problem.
I'm always going to have financial issues.
I'm always going to have an addiction problem."
That's baloney. That's the lie of the enemy.
And so, God is saying to you,
"I am removing the chaff of unbelief from our hearts
that hinders us."
That's what happened to Gideon.
He was removing the chaff of unbelief
that was hindering his identity.
And that's what we're going to pray about tonight.
"Lord, remove every part of my heart,
every part that's hard, every chaff, every piece
in me that's hindering me, that's causing unbelief,
that's causing me and preventing me
from seeing who I am in you
and walking and fulfilling my destiny."
Because God is raising up a Gideon 300 Army
who knows their God and will do great exploits.
That's who we are.
We're not just weak, pathetic-looking,
church lady kind of mentality when they show us on TV,
acting like idiots and that, you know,
we're so religious and we have no love for the people.
It's, you know, that has to shift.
So, God rescued Israel and he rescued Gideon
out of that unbelief.
And so in Judges 6:23 and 24, in the amplified,
it says that, "The Lord said to him, 'Peace be to you.
Do not fear and you will not die, Gideon.'
And there Gideon built an altar to the Lord
and called it the Lord is peace," the shalom of the Lord."
See in that place of fearing, in that place of doubt
in that place of unbelief, the Lord said,
"I'm going to come and I'm going to reveal myself to you
as Jehovah Shalom, as "the God of peace
who crushes the enemy under your feet. (Romans 16:20)
And that you will know my peace and it will be a weapon
of war that will cut the head of the enemy off."
Because when you're operating in peace
even when hell is going around you, you have the upper hand.
You're not battling in fear, you're not backing down,
you're in peace because you have the word
of the Lord and you're holding onto that.
And that's what God is saying to us - 
You have to know him as the God of peace,
the God of peace who cuts the head of the enemy,
who will just shatter every lie that the enemy has for us.
And it's like this warring thing that God is releasing over us.
And so shalom means soundness, welfare,
peace, prosperity, it's a covenant of peace.
And in Judges 6:25, it says here, in the amplified,
"That night the Lord said to Gideon, take your father's bull." 
That's how it's worded.
"And the second bull, seven years old,
and pull down the altar of Baal
that your father has and cut down the Asherah."
We got to cut off the bull, or the bs,
and that's the belief system that's been
in our family line for so long that has kept us in bondage
because it's a learned behavior.
We have to cut that off and that's what he said - he had
to tear down the altars of Baal. 
He had to tear down the belief system,
even the religious systems that might seem good,
but the systems that we were brought up in
that we know about that has kept us in bondage.
See, we have to cut it off. And that's what he did.
So Gideon destroyed the altar of Baal
and we have to destroy any ungodly belief,
any ungodly altars that are in our lives that will hinder us
from moving forward in this season.
I don't know about you, but I want it.
