Refuse to compromise

There is no compromise when walking with God, it is either all or nothing. You must never lean to the world's standards of victory only those of God's. Lean not to your logic and understanding, instead choose to be Holy Spirit lead and God directed. In Judge's, God issues a directive to Gideon, that from a worldly point of vew he would have certainly been in error. BUT GOD says I will give them into your hand if you obey.

Judges 7

Gideon Defeats the Midianites

1 Early in the morning, Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) and all his men camped at the spring of Harod. The camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh. 2 The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me.’ 3 Now announce to the army, ‘Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained.

4 But the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will thin them out for you there. If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go; but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”

5 So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” 6 Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.

7 The LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the others go home.” 8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites home but kept the three hundred, who took over the provisions and trumpets of the others.

So the essence of this is, look to God for the victory and it is sure. Walking in obedience multiplies the warriors since you place them in God's hand. In effect since you realize that the battle is not yours but God's and choose to follow his directive, you can't lose. Nothing is too hard for God and he is not a man that he should lie or repent. Focus on the God's kingdom and all his righteousness and the rest shall be added unto you.
