A Wrestle in a Winepress, Part 1 –  your Lion Bites word for today

Many of you have been like Gideon in the winepress threshing wheat – doing the wrong thing in the wrong place, filled with worry and fear about the future. But God is coming to you now to wrestle fear out of your heart and to call you to do great and mighty things with what He has put into your hands.

God is unravelling the fear that has been wrapped around you as false armour and removing every spirit of anxiety that makes you feel ‘less than’. He’s coming down into your own personal winepress – the place of your hiding – and He’s starting to speak great and mighty words over you. These words carry deliverance and courage and as you hear them you will receive freedom and strength for the task ahead.

Judges 6:11-12
The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”
