I was reading the story of Samson that ABBA had a mission or purpose for Samson only if he was obedient to ABBA's commandment. Once a believer begins trust in ones own power, cardinal, or listen to outside voices that begins the destruction ones life.
Samson had a mission to do for Kingdom of GOD/ABBA.
[h=1]Judges 13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)[/h]
2 Then Manoah asked, “When Your words come true, what will the boy’s responsibilities and mission[c] be?”
Samson was blessed from his birth and the Spirit of the LORD was with him.
24 So the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew,and the Lord blessed him. 25 Then the Spirit of the Lord began to direct him in the Camp of Dan,[e] between Zorah and Eshtaol.
This meant that Samson will be used by GOD to deliver his people from the hands of Philistine because Israel did great evil in sight of ABBA.
The first down fall of Samson was his flesh and to married outside the tribe of Nazirite. Hmmm, moment!!!
Question for the chat room was JESUS/YESHUA a Nazirite?
ABBA told men of Israel never to marry women outside the tribe because of false gods and idolaltry.
[h=1]Judges 14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)[/h][h=3]
[/h]14 Samson went down to Timnah and saw a young Philistine woman there.2 He went back and told his father and his mother: “I have seen a young Philistine woman in Timnah. Now get her for me as a wife.”
3 But his father and mother said to him, “Can’t you find[a] a young woman among your relatives or among any of our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines for a wife?”
But Samson told his father, “Get her for me, because I want her.”[b] 4 Now his father and mother did not know this was from the Lord, who was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. At that time, the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
Samson was looking at the outward appearance of the woman and his flesh was directing him in this decision for a wife.
Actually ABBA was using Samson as an example in Israel's sinful desires of heart and Samson had a rebellious natue just like Israel.
The Spirit of Lord was still abound Samson because he has not broken the commandment that was giving to his parents and him.
[h=1]Judges 14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)[/h]5 Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Suddenly a young lion came roaring at him, 6 the Spirit of the Lord took control of[c] him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done. 7 Then he went and spoke to the woman, because Samson wanted her.[d]
19 The Spirit of the Lord took control of him, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed 30 of their men. He stripped them and gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. In a rage, Samson returned to his father’s house,20 and his wife was given to one of the men who had accompanied him.
[h=1]Judges 15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)[/h]14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came to meet him shouting. The Spirit of the Lord took control of[d] him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like burnt flax and his bonds fell off his wrists. 15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand, took it, and killed 1,000 men with it. 16 Then Samson said:
With the jawbone of a donkey
I have piled them in a heap.
With the jawbone of a donkey
I have killed 1,000 men.
17 When he finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone and named that place Ramath-lehi.[e] 18 He became very thirsty and called out to the Lord: “You have accomplished this great victory through[f] Your servant.
Samson broken many rules as a Nazirite:
1. grapevine
2. touching carcass of the lion
3. defile his parents and himself with the honey
4. drinking wine with him pagan friends
Part II: Coming Soon!
