  • Of satan in my life." samson illustrates
  • 00:06:28.601 --> 00:06:31.037
  • Samson illustrates the high cost of a haircut.
  • 00:06:31.103 --> 00:06:36.342
  • The high cost of a haircut. he laid his head down
  • 00:06:36.409 --> 00:06:38.478
  • He laid his head down in the lap of a deceiver.
  • 00:06:38.544 --> 00:06:42.381
  • In the lap of a deceiver. and his hair wasn't trimmed,
  • 00:06:42.448 --> 00:06:44.884
  • And his hair wasn't trimmed, it was shaved.
  • 00:06:44.951 --> 00:06:47.553
  • It was shaved. and he broke his covenant
  • 00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:49.455
  • And he broke his covenant because his covenant said,
  • 00:06:49.522 --> 00:06:51.757
  • Because his covenant said, "god, i make a pledge
  • 00:06:51.824 --> 00:06:52.892
  • "god, i make a pledge and a vow to you that
  • 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:54.327
  • And a vow to you that if i don't cut the seven locks
  • 00:06:54.393 --> 00:06:56.128
  • If i don't cut the seven locks off and i'll keep consecrations
  • 00:06:56.195 --> 00:07:00.299
  • Off and i'll keep consecrations that i've made to you."
  • 00:07:00.366 --> 00:07:02.068
  • That i've made to you." and as long as he had
  • 00:07:02.134 --> 00:07:03.369
  • And as long as he had the long hair,
  • 00:07:03.436 --> 00:07:06.038
  • The long hair, he had the power
  • 00:07:06.105 --> 00:07:07.273
  • He had the power to defeat his enemy.
  • 00:07:07.340 --> 00:07:09.108
  • To defeat his enemy. but when the --
  • 00:07:09.175 --> 00:07:09.842
  • But when the -- when he laid down,
  • 00:07:09.909 --> 00:07:11.143
  • When he laid down, and when the enemy got him down,
  • 00:07:11.210 --> 00:07:13.613
  • And when the enemy got him down, and man, he took him way down
  • 00:07:13.679 --> 00:07:15.815
  • And man, he took him way down and cut off those
  • 00:07:15.882 --> 00:07:16.516
  • And cut off those seven locks of hair.
  • 00:07:16.582 --> 00:07:18.050
  • Seven locks of hair. when he awoke, the chains were
  • 00:07:18.117 --> 00:07:19.752
  • When he awoke, the chains were on him like times before,
  • 00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:21.387
  • On him like times before, but he couldn't
  • 00:07:21.454 --> 00:07:22.221
  • But he couldn't break the chains.
  • 00:07:22.288 --> 00:07:23.055
  • Break the chains. and when the philistines
  • 00:07:23.122 --> 00:07:24.457
  • And when the philistines came to arrest him,
  • 00:07:24.524 --> 00:07:25.791
  • Came to arrest him, he could easily throw them
  • 00:07:25.858 --> 00:07:27.393
  • He could easily throw them off and kill them.
  • 00:07:27.460 --> 00:07:28.728
  • Off and kill them. but this time,
  • 00:07:28.794 --> 00:07:29.629
  • But this time, something had changed.
  • 00:07:29.695 --> 00:07:31.330
  • Something had changed. he was down,
  • 00:07:31.397 --> 00:07:32.331
  • He was down, and he was defeated,
  • 00:07:32.398 --> 00:07:34.033
  • And he was defeated, and they took it,
  • 00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:34.967
  • And they took it, and they plucked
  • 00:07:35.034 --> 00:07:36.168
  • And they plucked his eyeballs out.
  • 00:07:36.235 --> 00:07:37.570
  • His eyeballs out. i want you to think the bible
  • 00:07:37.637 --> 00:07:38.471
  • I want you to think the bible said they bound him,
  • 00:07:38.538 --> 00:07:41.374
  • Said they bound him, and then they blinded him,
  • 00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:43.743
  • And then they blinded him, and then they bewildered him
  • 00:07:43.809 --> 00:07:46.012
  • And then they bewildered him because they put him down in
  • 00:07:46.078 --> 00:07:47.280
  • Because they put him down in a dungeon and he was crushing,
  • 00:07:47.346 --> 00:07:50.416
  • A dungeon and he was crushing, he was on a wheel that was --
  • 00:07:50.483 --> 00:07:53.452
  • He was on a wheel that was -- a stone that was crushing wheat
  • 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.155
  • A stone that was crushing wheat for the philistines
  • 00:07:56.222 --> 00:07:57.223
  • For the philistines to be fed.
  • 00:07:57.290 --> 00:07:58.457
  • To be fed. he was feeding his enemies.
  • 00:07:58.524 --> 00:08:01.160
  • He was feeding his enemies. and i want you to see it.
  • 00:08:01.227 --> 00:08:03.529
  • And i want you to see it. that's what the enemy
  • 00:08:03.596 --> 00:08:04.497
  • That's what the enemy wants to do to us.

  • Wants to do to us. that's what satan wants
  • 00:08:05.464 --> 00:08:06.499
  • That's what satan wants to do to everyone.

  • Season of your life. you're the one i'm preaching to.
  • 00:08:45.237 --> 00:08:50.810
  • You're the one i'm preaching to. the scripture said
  • 00:08:50.876 --> 00:08:52.778
  • The scripture said that in that moment,
  • 00:08:52.845 --> 00:08:55.615
  • That in that moment, that he made up his mind.
  • 00:08:55.681 --> 00:08:57.583
  • That he made up his mind. samson refused to die.
  • 00:08:57.650 --> 00:09:01.253
  • Samson refused to die. he refused to go down in defeat.
  • 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.657
  • He refused to go down in defeat. something in him said,
  • 00:09:04.724 --> 00:09:06.325
  • Something in him said, "god, if you'll touch me
  • 00:09:06.392 --> 00:09:08.427
  • "god, if you'll touch me one more time."
  • 00:09:08.494 --> 00:09:10.096
  • One more time." that's what i love about god.
  • 00:09:10.162 --> 00:09:11.631
  • That's what i love about god. the scripture said about jonah,
  • 00:09:11.697 --> 00:09:14.000
  • The scripture said about jonah, "the word of the lord came
  • 00:09:14.066 --> 00:09:15.201
  • "the word of the lord came to him a second time."
  • 00:09:15.267 --> 00:09:17.970
  • To him a second time." and i've heard preachers preach,
  • 00:09:18.037 --> 00:09:19.238
  • And i've heard preachers preach, "he's the god
  • 00:09:19.305 --> 00:09:19.939
  • "he's the god of a second chance."
  • 00:09:20.006 --> 00:09:20.873
  • Of a second chance." and they're right.
  • 00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:22.008
  • And they're right. but there's a sermon
  • 00:09:22.074 --> 00:09:22.908
  • But there's a sermon better than,
  • 00:09:22.975 --> 00:09:23.809
  • Better than, "he's the god
  • 00:09:23.876 --> 00:09:24.310
  • "he's the god of a second chance."
  • 00:09:24.377 --> 00:09:25.478
  • Of a second chance." he's the god
  • 00:09:25.544 --> 00:09:26.145
  • He's the god of another chance,
  • 00:09:26.212 --> 00:09:27.813
  • Of another chance, and another chance,
  • 00:09:27.880 --> 00:09:29.649
  • And another chance, and another chance.
  • 00:09:29.715 --> 00:09:31.083
  • And another chance. and i don't care
  • 00:09:31.150 --> 00:09:31.651
  • And i don't care how many times you fail,
  • 00:09:31.717 --> 00:09:33.219
  • How many times you fail, he'll give you another chance.
  • 00:09:33.285 --> 00:09:35.121
  • He'll give you another chance. the bible puts it
  • 00:09:35.187 --> 00:09:35.788
  • The bible puts it like this in proverbs,
  • 00:09:35.855 --> 00:09:37.123
  • Like this in proverbs, "the righteous man
  • 00:09:37.189 --> 00:09:37.957
  • "the righteous man falls seven times a day,
  • 00:09:38.024 --> 00:09:40.026
  • Falls seven times a day, but he keeps getting back up."
  • 00:09:40.092 --> 00:09:43.829
  • But he keeps getting back up." you won't be defeated
  • 00:09:43.896 --> 00:09:45.097
  • You won't be defeated if you'll get back up
  • 00:09:45.164 --> 00:09:47.033
  • If you'll get back up and call on the lord.
  • 00:09:47.099 --> 00:09:50.970
  • And call on the lord. how many of you believe that?
  • 00:09:51.037 --> 00:09:53.205
  • How many of you believe that? i mean, i'm coming today

  • I'm coming for the distressed, i'm coming for the depressed,
  • 00:09:57.376 --> 00:09:59.245
  • I'm coming for the depressed, i'm coming for the discouraged.
  • 00:09:59.311 --> 00:10:01.147
  • I'm coming for the discouraged. and i shout in the name
  • 00:10:01.213 --> 00:10:03.215
  • And i shout in the name of the lord jesus christ,
  • 00:10:03.282 --> 00:10:06.218
  • Of the lord jesus christ, get up!
  • 00:10:06.285 --> 00:10:07.620
  • [applause]
  • 00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:13.526
  • You see, samson couldn't
  • 00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:18.164
  • You see, samson couldn't get the victory by
  • 00:10:18.230 --> 00:10:19.365
  • Get the victory by himself after he fell.
  • 00:10:19.432 --> 00:10:22.802
  • Himself after he fell. and he found the lad,
  • 00:10:22.868 --> 00:10:24.670
  • And he found the lad, and he said to the lad
  • 00:10:24.737 --> 00:10:25.705
  • And he said to the lad when they took him
  • 00:10:25.771 --> 00:10:26.572
  • When they took him to the temple of dagon --
  • 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.374
  • To the temple of dagon -- listen the philistines --
  • 00:10:28.441 --> 00:10:30.710
  • Listen the philistines -- the temple of dagon would
  • 00:10:30.776 --> 00:10:32.178
  • The temple of dagon would seat about 3,000 people.
  • 00:10:32.244 --> 00:10:34.547
  • Seat about 3,000 people. i've actually seen
  • 00:10:34.613 --> 00:10:35.081
  • I've actually seen the remains of it,
  • 00:10:35.147 --> 00:10:36.315
  • The remains of it, and it would --
  • 00:10:36.382 --> 00:10:37.183
  • And it would -- or some of the remains
  • 00:10:37.249 --> 00:10:38.017
  • Or some of the remains of the place.
  • 00:10:38.084 --> 00:10:38.784
  • Of the place. and it would seat around,
  • 00:10:38.851 --> 00:10:40.386
  • And it would seat around, they believe 3,000 people.
  • 00:10:40.453 --> 00:10:42.421
  • They believe 3,000 people. so, all
  • 00:10:42.488 --> 00:10:42.888
  • So, all of the chief philistines,
  • 00:10:42.955 --> 00:10:44.190
  • Of the chief philistines, all of the war generals,
  • 00:10:44.256 --> 00:10:45.891
  • All of the war generals, they gathered together,
  • 00:10:45.958 --> 00:10:47.827
  • They gathered together, and this room seats 3,000.
  • 00:10:47.893 --> 00:10:50.229
  • And this room seats 3,000. and so, it was a setting
  • 00:10:50.296 --> 00:10:52.531
  • And so, it was a setting much like this.
  • 00:10:52.598 --> 00:10:54.734
  • Much like this. and off to the side,
  • 00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:55.634
  • And off to the side, they had samson bound with
  • 00:10:55.701 --> 00:10:57.536
  • They had samson bound with chains, blinded, brought him
  • 00:10:57.603 --> 00:11:00.339
  • Chains, blinded, brought him out of the dungeon.
  • 00:11:00.406 --> 00:11:01.774
  • Out of the dungeon. he's been down for so long.
  • 00:11:01.841 --> 00:11:03.309
  • He's been down for so long. the enemies --
  • 00:11:03.375 --> 00:11:04.009
  • The enemies -- "why did you do that?
  • 00:11:04.076 --> 00:11:05.811
  • "why did you do that? you messed up so bad.

  • You messed up so bad. you messed up your whole life."
  • 00:11:07.847 --> 00:11:10.916
  • You messed up your whole life." and there was a lad that grabbed
  • 00:11:10.983 --> 00:11:13.853
  • And there was a lad that grabbed him like a dog on a chain
  • 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.554

  • The side curtain. and he walks out
  • 00:11:18.891 --> 00:11:21.560
  • And he walks out in the temple of dagon,
  • 00:11:21.627 --> 00:11:22.928
  • In the temple of dagon, a idol god.
  • 00:11:22.995 --> 00:11:25.765
  • A idol god. and there --

  • They were making fun of him. they were laughing.
  • 00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:35.141
  • They were laughing. they were cheering as
  • 00:11:35.207 --> 00:11:37.042
  • They were cheering as he walked out blind, bound.
  • 00:11:37.109 --> 00:11:40.246
  • He walked out blind, bound. but remember micah 7:8,
  • 00:11:40.312 --> 00:11:42.748
  • But remember micah 7:8, "rejoice not over me,
  • 00:11:42.815 --> 00:11:45.417
  • "rejoice not over me, oh my enemies,
  • 00:11:45.484 --> 00:11:47.686
  • Oh my enemies, for when i fall,"
  • 00:11:47.753 --> 00:11:48.521
  • For when i fall," the devil should have left
  • 00:11:48.587 --> 00:11:49.522
  • The devil should have left him alone, but he said,
  • 00:11:49.588 --> 00:11:51.690
  • Him alone, but he said, "when i fall, i shall arise.
  • 00:11:51.757 --> 00:11:55.327
  • "when i fall, i shall arise. and when i sit in darkness,
  • 00:11:55.394 --> 00:11:58.197
  • And when i sit in darkness, the lord will be a light
  • 00:11:58.264 --> 00:11:59.231
  • The lord will be a light unto me."
  • 00:11:59.298 --> 00:12:00.266
  • Unto me." and he said to that
  • 00:12:00.332 --> 00:12:01.667
  • And he said to that younger kid that
  • 00:12:01.734 --> 00:12:03.669
  • Younger kid that let him out there, "son,"
  • 00:12:03.736 --> 00:12:05.938
  • Let him out there, "son," as they're mocking him
  • 00:12:06.005 --> 00:12:06.906
  • As they're mocking him and calling him names,
  • 00:12:06.972 --> 00:12:08.174
  • And calling him names, he said, "put my hands on
  • 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.009
  • He said, "put my hands on the pillars of this temple."
  • 00:12:10.075 --> 00:12:12.611
  • The pillars of this temple." and he couldn't see it,
  • 00:12:12.678 --> 00:12:13.412
  • And he couldn't see it, but that little kid --
  • 00:12:13.479 --> 00:12:14.346
  • But that little kid -- see, i see a joining of the old,
  • 00:12:14.413 --> 00:12:18.450
  • See, i see a joining of the old, and the young
  • 00:12:18.517 --> 00:12:19.018
  • And the young and the old for revival.
  • 00:12:19.084 --> 00:12:23.422
  • And the old for revival. i can't get the victory
  • 00:12:23.489 --> 00:12:24.690
  • I can't get the victory sometimes by myself.
  • 00:12:24.757 --> 00:12:27.426
  • Sometimes by myself. and sometimes, we need
  • 00:12:27.493 --> 00:12:28.194
  • And sometimes, we need to recognize that
  • 00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:30.029
  • To recognize that there's a new generation.
  • 00:12:30.095 --> 00:12:31.997
  • There's a new generation. and instead of resisting them,
  • 00:12:32.064 --> 00:12:33.866
  • And instead of resisting them, and rejecting them,
  • 00:12:33.933 --> 00:12:34.834
  • And rejecting them, and criticizing them,
  • 00:12:34.900 --> 00:12:36.535
  • And criticizing them, and condemning all
  • 00:12:36.602 --> 00:12:38.170
  • And condemning all of our young people,
  • 00:12:38.237 --> 00:12:39.505
  • Of our young people, we need to not be that voice.
  • 00:12:39.572 --> 00:12:41.540
  • We need to not be that voice. we need to say, "it's time
  • 00:12:41.607 --> 00:12:42.675
  • We need to say, "it's time for you to preach.
  • 00:12:42.741 --> 00:12:43.843
  • For you to preach. it's time for you to sing.
  • 00:12:43.909 --> 00:12:44.910
  • It's time for you to sing. it's time for you
  • 00:12:44.977 --> 00:12:45.911
  • It's time for you to get on the stage.
  • 00:12:45.978 --> 00:12:46.946
  • To get on the stage. it's time for you to take over.
  • 00:12:47.012 --> 00:12:49.048
  • It's time for you to take over. it's time for you
  • 00:12:49.114 --> 00:12:49.949
  • It's time for you to lead revival.
  • 00:12:50.015 --> 00:12:51.016
  • To lead revival. it's time for you."
