to come to pastors and leaders
conference
i think the most important thing is to
find out that you’re not alone
the relationship that you build here
people that come from different
backgrounds from all over the place i
can feel the anointing literally the
moment we walked into the building tears
falling from my eyes it’s a heart issue
it’s a life changer
you need to be here you don’t want to
miss it come see for yourself
i want to invite you
back to the book of judges chapter
number 16 verse number 20.
i cannot seem to pull
my spiritual attention away
from samson
chapter number 16 verse 20
through 30.
you’re watching online do not miss this
opportunity
to join us as we delve into the
integrity of god’s word it is our custom
to stand for the reading of the word if
you would honor that we would appreciate
it
you can sit the rest of the day
in the book of judges chapter number 16
verse 20 through 30
and she said the philistines be upon
these samson
and he’ll walk out of his sleep and say
i will go out as at other times before
and shake myself
and he wished not that the lord
was departed from him
how can you lose god and not know him
but the philistines took him and put out
his eyes
and brought him down to gaza
and bound him with feathers of brass and
he did grind in the prison house
oh be it
i’ll be it
i’ll be it
the hair of his head began to grow again
after he was shaving
then the lords of the philistines
gathered them together for to offer a
great sacrifice unto dagon their god and
to rejoice for they said our god had
delivered samson our enemy
into our hand
and when the people saw him they praised
their god for they said our god have
delivered into our hands our enemy and
the destroyer of our country which slew
many of us
they came to pass
when their hearts were married
they got drunk
that they said call for samson that he
made that he may make a sport so we can
make fun of him
this is for everybody who’s been
laughing at you
and they called for samson out of the
prison house and he made them sport and
they set him between the pillars
and samson said unto the lad that held
him by the hand
suffer me that i may feel the pillars
where upon the house standeth
the the load-bearing pillars
i want to put my hands on the
load-bearing pillars
the pillars that hold the roof up
that i may lean upon them
now the house was full of men and women
and all the lords of the philistines
were there and there were upon the roof
about three thousand men and women that
beheld while samson was being made fun
of
and samson called unto the lord and said
oh lord god
[Music]
hey
god
hey
lord
god remember me
i pray thee and strengthen me
i pray the only this once oh god that i
may be at once avenged of the
philistines for my two eyes
and samson took hold of the two middle
pillars upon which the house stood
and on which it was born up and of the
one his right hand and on the other with
his left
and samson said let me die with the
philistines
and he bowed himself with all his might
and the house fell upon the lords then
upon all the people that were there and
all them that were laughing so the dead
which he slew at his death
were more than they
which he slew
in his life
i want to talk to you this morning
about inflection point
inflection points
inflection points i’ll make it clear in
a moment
let’s pray for a moment spirit of the
living god
fall fresh on us today
endow us with the kind of anointing that
allows us to communicate and articulate
your word with such
synchronization that i do not deviate
from that which the holy spirit would
have delivered to this waiting
congregation and not these alone
but to all the thousands around the
world that are watching right now let it
be such a rhema word
that it hits every
last
person in this room
eluding no one
touching everyone
ministering powerfully
and specifically
to the continuity of where we are right
now
in jesus name we pray
amen
you may be seated in the presence of the
lord
i am fascinated and i keep driving my
eyes back to samson because reading
about him now with mature eyes i see
things that i did not see when i was
younger and i did not see when i was a
child
when i was a child and taught about
samson i was
my vision was on how muscular he was and
how strong he was and how miraculously
he moved and how he took little things
and did a lot with them
that’s how you know you’re anointed when
you can take
little and do much
the jar bone of an ass and kill ten
thousand philistines
tying foxes together and setting their
tails on fire and burning up fields he
he didn’t he didn’t use strong weaponry
but whatever his hands found
turned into a weapon and i was i was
amazed by that later i began to realize
that samson was not as muscular as he
was in my sunday school book
for had he been as muscular as they
depicted him in the sunday school class
then it would have been foolish for
delilah to ask where does your strength
lie
if you saw arnold schwarzenegger in his
heyday you wouldn’t ask me how come
you’re so strong where does your
strength lie but if you saw pee wee
herman and he was lifting weights like
arnold schwarzenegger you would say
where does your strength lie which lets
me know that god will give you strength
that is not visible
