Jehovah Shalom: Tearing Down the Altars That Keep You Bound. Shad Derozier

In this powerful message from Judges 6, we discover how God transformed Gideon from a fearful man into a mighty warrior by first giving him peace and then calling him to obedience. Before Gideon could deliver Israel, he had to confront the idolatry in his own home by tearing down his father's altar to Baal. God still calls His people to destroy the altars of fear, compromise, sin, tradition, and generational bondage that compete for His place in our lives. When we embrace **Jehovah Shalom—"The Lord Is Peace"—**we receive the courage to obey God, confront strongholds, and walk in His purpose.
