I was about to end the livestream but...

...the Holy Spirit had more to say!

This week I was praying with our Prayer Coach community LIVE on a special on-location prayer stream from Dungannon, Northern Ireland. In fact, I had already said goodbye and was about to end the stream when the Holy Spirit prompted us to keep praying because He had something He wanted us to do.

Over the years, God has spoken to me profoundly through the account of Gideon.

When God called Gideon, He didn't need the largest army; He was looking for men who would trust Him completely and obey His voice. And through just 300 people, God brought about a supernatural victory that no one could deny.

As I sat in a recent meeting, as I mentioned on the livestream, and the message of Gideon was referenced, I thought, What if? ... What if 300 people gave $100 a month to help me, not for my sake, but for what could be accomplished for the Kingdom.

What can we achieve with 300 people, committed to giving $100 a month to help me and others be mobilized at the drop of a hat?!

It would be amazing!

I asked my team to cut the video to post because I really wanted you to see and hear the heart of the Father through this for reaching people both near and far. The video's focus is set toward the village green area while we were praying; however, you can hear my voice throughout.

Because I know some of you prefer to read, we've posted the excerpt from the original transcript as well.

The Transcript From the Live Prayer Stream

Raw and Real

I was in a meeting recently where Gideon was referenced. During it I was thinking about how God has spoken to me so much over Gideon. I thought, "God, it would be amazing if I personally had 300 people that would give $100 a month to what I do." It's not about money (it's about His plan for people).

There'd be 300 people giving $100 every month! It would be what, $30,000? It would be amazing. It would just be amazing. Over the time of a year, it just would be... It would be an amazing thing to do stuff like this (on location prayer and ministry) and to be able to take people with me to do stuff like this.

That is my heart. That's where I'm going, you know. Out of so many people that would commit with me, that would be so effective if they had the money to do this.

So praise the Lord. Maybe I just need to raise up a Gideon's Army, you know. Get people to be part of that financially. Get us to where we need to go so that I don't have to think about anything and go. Praise the Lord.

If you're interested in helping with that, you can contact me. Praise The Name. You can contact Beverly here.

But just imagine that: 300 people at $100! Amazing.

You say, "Well, that's a lot of money."

Come on, a meal. We blow $100 on a couple of meals. Glory to the Most High God.

Well, I love you, everybody. If you're interested in Gideon's Army, give me a shout. Amen. If you're not, don't judge me. Praise the Lord. There'll be people out there who will want to do that. Amen.

Praise the Lord. It's something that's been on my heart over these last two or three weeks. I sat in the meeting, and I heard that, and I thought, "You know what? That's actually doable, and that would be a great way for me to be mobilized, to be able to do stuff at the drop of a hat."

The beauty about Gideon's Army was this: Where were they sorted out? It went from 32,000 to 10,000, right? You know where they were sorted out? At the water.

The water represents the Holy Spirit, and that's where they were sorted. They were sorted with the workings of the Holy Spirit, where those people who just, were just recklessly, just drank from the water. Then other people, they cupped their hands and brought the water to their mouths. In other words, they worked with wisdom.

Who was it (in Acts 6) that they called for to work, even with tables? Those that were wise and full of the Holy Ghost. It was a Gideon's Army: people who were wise and full of the Holy Ghost. Wise and full of the Holy Ghost.

If you want to be part of something like that — I'm not talking about what you give to a church, to the work that your pastor oversees, the tithe, all of those different things. I'm talking about something over and above that. It's a sacrifice to say, "You know what? I stand with that."

I want to see this in the nations. Never mind the nations; we need to see this in the United States of America!

When I was in Chicago one week ago, I said to Karen, "I can't believe that was just a week ago. Last Monday we were walking the streets of Chicago." Talk about an assignment! This has been the wildest, wildest several days.

So God bless you, everybody. Amen. You want to help with that? You want to be part of that? Praise the Lord. Shout at me or get in touch with Bev. Hallelujah! Amen. We'll get it going, and, praise the Lord, we can say it was birthed right here on Prayer Coach.

Glory to God. Hallelujah to the Lamb. God bless you.

Will You Be a Part of This Gideon's Army?

Will You Answer the Call?

Just as Gideon needed an army of God’s chosen people, I believe God is raising up a Gideon’s Army of faithful partners today. If you sense the Lord speaking to your heart, take time to pray and consider your response.

Your monthly $100 is more than a recurring gift. It is a way to participate in this mission and help carry the Gospel wherever God leads.

For many years, I have walked hundreds and hundreds of miles in prayer and intercession for cities, believing God for His mighty working by the Holy Spirit.

Long before we minister publicly, there has been prayer:

- Before every meeting

- Before every mission

- Before every message

Before every assignment from Heaven, there has been intercession.

I believe the greatest days are still ahead! As we continue to pray, give, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, I believe we will see God move powerfully in cities across America and around the world. We will see people saved, believers established, churches strengthened, the sick healed, lives restored, and communities transformed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

When you become part of Gideon’s Army, you share in every prayer offered, every place reached, every church strengthened, and every life transformed through this ministry. Together we trust God for all that He desires to do.

Become One of the 300 Today

If you believe the Lord is leading you to join Gideon’s Army 300, you can take a step by completing the recurring giving form below and beginning your partnership of $100 per month.

Step into what God is doing:

- Every prayer matters.

- Every gift matters.

- Every soul matters.

With gratitude and prayers,

Paul Brady
