Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888–1971) was a British evangelist and author. Born in London, he became a Christian at seventeen while listening to street-preachers in Glasgow, and was ordained a Baptist minister at twenty-four. In 1926 he left the denomination and, with like-minded Christians, founded a conference and training centre at Honor Oak in south-east London. From there he published the free magazine "A Witness and A Testimony" until his death, and his conference ministry took him across Europe, North America and Asia. He asked that his messages be shared freely and word for word. Source: Wikipedia (summarized; CC BY-SA)

Opening with Gideon’s day in Judges, Austin-Sparks considers the Lord’s purpose to recover the honour of His Name in a people marked by spiritual strength, richness, assurance, and unity. He connects that purpose with God’s sovereign calling and the power made perfect in weakness, then shows how the Cross is the ground of the Lord’s presence, power, and exalted Name. The message calls readers to yield as vessels for God’s purpose and glory.
