Judges 4:11 says, Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.  Heber moved from where he had been.  Verse twelve states, And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.  Sisera was made aware of Barak gathering an army.  We, as followers of Christ, should hope that people are aware of what we are doing today, even if it makes them more determined to stop us.  If we are doing nothing for God, then there is really no need to stop us, since we have stopped ourselves.   Verse thirteen says, And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.  Sisera gathered nine-hundred chariots, evidently putting a lot of faith in his military superiority  Verse fourteen declares, And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.  Deborah told Barak that it was time to go and asked had God not delivered Sisera to him.  I don't believe that this was a question of whether this was true, but was a statement of fact.  We should never question God's ability to do what He says He will do, but should simply be ready to face the enemy at all times.  Verse fifteen states, And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.  We are told that God, not Barak was responsible for the defeat of Sisera, who abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.  Verse sixteen adds, But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.  Barak pursued Sisera and his army all the way to the land of the Gentiles, and all of them were slain, except Sisera himself.  Verse seventeen states, Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.  Heber comes into the story again, as Sisera went to the tent of Heber's wife to hide.  We may be at peace with some people who are not Christians, but we cannot be a place where they come to hide from God.  Verse eighteen adds, And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.  Heber's wife, Jael, told Sisera to come into her tent, and she hid him.  Verse nineteen says, And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.  Sisera asked for water because he was thirsty, and she gave him some milk, and he hid again.  We are called on to help our enemies in time of need, but we are never called on to do this so that they may attempt to hide from God's judgment.  Verse thirty states, Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.  Sisera told Jael to stand at the door and watch, and if anyone came inquiring if there was a man there that she was to lie and tell them no.  Sisera had gone from relying on his chariots to relying on the lie of a woman to protect him.  We can be certain that one day all the defenses of those who oppose God will be destroyed.  Verse twenty-one adds, Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.  Jael did not keep watch, but when Sisera was asleep she nailed his head to the ground.  Verse twenty-two adds, And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.  Barak was still chasing Sisera, and when he came to the tent of Jael, she said she could show him where he was, and he found Sisera dead.  We are never alone in our fight against evil in the world, and if we are followers of Christ, we can be certain that He will have already defeated our enemies if we put our faith in Him.  Verse twenty-three continues, So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.  God had defeated the enemies of His people, just as He does for us today.  Verse twenty-four declares, And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.  Once again, the people of Israel prospered, not because of their own power, but because of the power of God and their obedience to Him.  We will never prosper by our own power spiritually, but can only prosper by being obedient to God.
