THE SECRETS OF SAMSON’S SUPERNATURAL POWER

Judges 13:2-5 2 Now there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children. 3 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Now therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. 5 for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."

POWER TO BECOME SONS OF GOD

With His appearing, Jesus Christ has destroyed the works of the devil and brought to our conscious awareness immortality and eternal life. The works of the Devil is none other than to rob us of this life that is ours in God from the foundation of the world. We are talking here of absolute dominion not just over external force but also every compartment of our selves and our emotions so that nothing can touch and disrupt our joy and exceeding faith and boldness towards the Father.

Jesus Christ has given us the power to become sons of the incorruptible and immortal God (or to regain this state), no more the weakly natured mortal image we once walked in the days of our ignorance. The son of God is one that is born of God and walks in the incorruptible nature of the Father, high above the corrupt sinful nature of man; He free from law, sin and death, and walks in the full liberty of the spirit with no inhibitions or fear whatsoever.

The son of God is heir of the Eternal Father, walking the name of the Father while exercising His authority and dominion in all things. As long as He walks in the knowledge of the son, there is no fear, neither is there anxiety like we see in the world today because he is ever encompassed in the knowledge of His God and his Father the almighty one.

The life that men of this age live, is no life at all; it is simple the dead operating in the realm of emptiness where there is absolutely no knowledge. Fatigue, fear, uncertainty and insecurity are the bedrock of the Dark Age, which is why people cannot find rest day or night. Why should a man have millions of dollars in my account when He sees others in need? Why should He worry about tomorrow? Why should He scheme out a brother (flesh of his flesh) to gain the goods of this world? It is simply because man is all alone, no God no Father, no hope so He is constantly struggling in vain to devise ways to obtaining security and rest for His troubled soul.

The son of God on the other hand is above all the principalities and powers that govern this dark age of mortal men. The son of God does not fear, because he knows that all things are working for His good because his Father is in charge. He will sleep peacefully in the boat while the violent winds rock it in the sight of mortal men, because the son is not aware of any such contrary wind; He sees only one power in heaven and on earth, which is that of His Father who dwells in Him. All that the son sees is peace, love, prosperity and abundance of life which the Father has freely given Him to enjoy.

The power to become sons of the living God and to walk in the same is the end of the faith, because in this high consciousness all imaginary powers including death like we have called it seizes forever. This is the end that Jesus was revealed from heaven to bring about.

SAMSON A POINTER TO THE SONS OF GOD

Right from the days in which man lost his first estate as son of the incorruptible God, a plan had been set in motion to restore man back to His glorious state with the appearance of Christ Jesus on the scene as the cap stone of this plan. Christ’s appearance capped this whole plan by giving us the keys of the kingdom though His spirit in us. The spirit teaches us all things, that is why people can possibly write articles like this. As long as we receive of the spirit of God and patiently hear Him, we will eventually regain that lost state because the spirit will cause us to see through the mind of God and understand His will for our lives. His will is non other than to restore us back to the glorious state of sons of God.

The story of Samson is one of the many examples that actually educate us on how we can walk in the supernatural once more, far above all principalities and powers. Samson in His glory represents a manifested son of God ruling and reigning by the spirit of God. His works are well known, some of the are:

a)  when He destroyed a Lion with His bear hands (Judges 14:5-6),

b)  In His anger, He slew thirty men in a town called Ashkelon (Judges 14:19-20).

c)  He slew a thousand Phillistines with the fresh jawbone of an ass (Judges 15).

d)  How He uprooted the gate into the entrance of a city and carried it alone to the top of a hill that faces Hebron (Judges 16:3).

e)  And eventually destroyed the Lords of the Phillistines in a grand hall (Judges 16:28-30).

Samsonwas a man of supernatural strength a super human in the flesh realm; to have killed 1000 men with a fresh jawbone and kill a lion in such a manner we all agree that he was no ordinary person. Samson like we said earlier on is a type of the manifested seed of Christ in the Church. His Power and strength is a shadow of the power and strength the Church processes in the spiritual realm when they come to maturity. The Philistines who were they majo enemies of God at that point in Israel's History are the principalities and powers in the heavenlies today.

Yes as Jesus rightly said all power in heaven and earth given to the believers and true seekers in Christ. Paul’s writings say He has raised us far above all principalities and powers in the heavens.

We who receive the testimony of Jesus and obediently allow the spirit to transform us like the once barren Mother of Samson, will bring forth the son of God who rules and reigns of all.

EXECIZED DOMINION OF HIS ENEMIES, DARKNESS DEATH

REPRESENTS THE INNOCENT SEED OF CHRIST ON THE INSIDE OF ALL MEN

IT CAN ONLY COME FORTH WHEN WE DRINK NO STRONG ALCOHOLIC DRINK OR EAT UNCLEAN THINGS.

STRONG DRINK IS THE SPIRIT OF THIS WORLD WHICH CAUSES MEN TO STAGGER AIMLESSLY

UNCLEAN FOOD IS FELLOWSHIP WITH DARKNESS

MAITAINING HIMSELF IN HIS SUPER HUMAN STATUS DEPENDED ON HIS MAINTAINING THE SEVEN LOCKS ON HIS HEAD

SAMSON IN PRISON, SERVING THE PHILISTINES, WITH EYES PLUCKED OUT A PICTURE OF MEN, ENSLAVED TO THE BONDAGES OF CORRUPTION. SLAVE TO SINS.

THE EYE OF UNDERSTANDING

ALL ENEMIES TO BE DEFEATED, DEATH INCLUDED.

Samson today is a type of the manifested seed of Christ which indeed is the body of Christ. The Body of Christ today is the Church, and who are the Church ? They are the universal people of God joined by the Spirit of God in Union with Christ and therefore to God. They are the Sons of God who actually are meant to reign in Power and victory in this very time unto eternity.

While we read on, note that every scripture is given for edification and nourishment to the Children of God, that they may understand the very thoughts and vision the Lord has for the Church (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 15:4). We learn how to walk and be victorious in Him as the spirit teaches us His thoughts of love and grace towards the Church in this age and in the ages to come (1 Corinthians 2:6-14) . All the stories in the scripture point to the revelation of the grace and power of God that is and is to be revealed through His Son Jesus Christ. When we say the son Jesus Christ we also refer to Church which is the Body of Christ, noting that the body can not be separated from the head (Colossians 1:18, Galatians 3:28-29, John 17:20-22).

Those who will bring forth this seed, a seed likened unto Samson in power and might, a seed that will reveal the right hand of Deity unto creation are those who have separated themselves unto fellowshipping with the truth and rejecting the lie. Those drunk with wine and continually feasting on the unclean are those who continue on in fellowship of old lies and hypocrisies of the doctrines and tradition of men and religion. (Ephesians 5:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8, Proverbs 23:29-35, Proverbs 19:5)

Spiritually speaking those who drink Strong drink or alcoholic drinks are those who drink from the table of the evil one. Alcohol produces drunkenness which in turn corrupts the minds and hearts of men so that they stagger and do things that are dishonourable. Brethren I am not saying that sipping a glass of wine is wrong nor did I say drinking a beer is wrong, I showing forth the reflection of God's mind on the spiritual things which are of a truth the only things that matter. When we feed our minds on carnal things, religious and traditional teachings of men we can never bring forth the fullness of Christ in us.

To bring forth this creation according to the will of God one must be nourished with the pure bread and wine that reveals the true God of the creation. We get this as we commune with the Lord through His spirit.

(John 16:13-15, John 6:51-58, 1 Peter 2:1-3)

As we fellowship with Him in spirit and in truth a new man is created in us after the very image of Samson endowed with Strength from above. (Romans 8:9-17)

MIGHTY WORKS OF SAMSON

Judges 15:6-8 And they answered, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire. 7 Samson said to them, "Since you would do a thing like this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease." 8 So he attacked them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; then he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Judges 15:14-16 14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands. 15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.
Judges 14:5-6 Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him. 6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand.
Judges 16:1-3 16:1 Then Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her. 2 When the Gazites were told, "Samson has come here!" they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They were quiet all night, saying, "In the morning, when it is daylight, we will kill him." 3 And Samson lay low till midnight; then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.

The revelation of the Sons of God which is the Church among other things was purposed to reveal the grace, wisdom and mighty powers of the God of creation, power like the very power that raised up the son of God from the dead. (Ephesians 3:8-12)

Death as we know it is the ultimate goal and weapon of the enemy the Devil, but God by raising Jesus from the dead demonstrated that His power is supreme. In raising Jesus from the dead His made an open show of principalities and powers just as Samson made an open show of the Philistines in the days of His leadership. (Colossians 2:14-16)

That same power that worked in Jesus raising Him from the dead works in the Church today so that He has assured us we shall do even greater works that He did in the days of His flesh ministry. (John 14:12-13, Matthew 28:17-18, Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17-18, Ephesians 1:19-21)

Power over serpents, scorpions, lions and any form of spiritual manifestation will be with this Church that God is raising up. The Church that the Lord is revealing will be a union of super beings that have absolute power and victory in all that they do, no weapon of the enemy shall prosper against them.

We will shortly see some of the secrets to the power this Church will have.

THE FALL OF SAMSON

Judges 16:4-19 4 Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5 And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, "Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver." 6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you." 7 And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man." 8 So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, and she bound him with them. 9 Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known. 10 Then Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me what you may be bound with." 11 So he said to her, "If they bind me securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man." 12 Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And men were lying in wait, staying in the room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread. 13 Delilah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me what you may be bound with." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom"-- 14 So she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the batten and the web from the loom. 15 Then she said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies." 16 And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death, 17 that he told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man." 18 When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand. 19 Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.
