First, Isaiah he encounters a very unique beings called the saraphim. Up to that time and after that, we don't know anybody who encountered those. Not that nobody will have encountered them, 'cause it's not everything that's recorded, you know. It's like the healings that Jesus is doing today through different ministers and through different Christians in the world. It doesn't mean that we know it all because it depends if it's documented.
Yes.
And we know in Africa, we're not very good with documenting good stuff. We can, uh, we can take the whole video of a funeral, but we will not take off a good story. And that one of a funeral, we can play it over and over again, you know, but one for a good story, we're not that excellent. But thank God, I'm speaking to some people who are being inspired so that we can be able to record our good stories and pass them on. But understand that there are so many things that God can do. If it's not recorded and brought out there, you may think it's not happening, but it's happening. So, uh, the saraphim doesn't mean nobody else has ever encountered or seen them. It just means that in the record of the Bible, it's Isaiah who saw them.
These beings, by reason of hearing what they say, you can begin to understand that first of all, they have to be responsible for the glory of God. Now, these beings are responsible for the glory of God that is directed to the lower regions, which include the earth. That's why they say, "The whole earth is full of his glory." That's what they say.
The whole earth is full of his glory. In relation to who we are, we have as custodians of the glory of God, directed it towards the earth. These beings will be, um, what you will call transformers. The cherubim are transformers, but not the transformers as you know them in the movies. These are transformers that not only transfer the glory of God to the earth, but they also, uh, transform it, step it down. So that's why they know what went and they also want to know what came back. So they are the reconcilers of the glory of God.
Meaning when the glory is sent, they know how much was taken. It will be like when you are sending power and you know it's being transported, it's 22 KV or 11 KV, you step it down to 33, you know, 100 KV, you come down to, is it 400? And then you come down all the way to 220, you transform it down to 220, which can be used in the house.
Yes.
They are transformers, these beings. Now, these beings are fury. The Bible calls them fury, like burning like the sun. Don't miss this point. So you can see the relationship Samson has with these beings. They, they burn like the sun. They burn like the sun. Now, those beings, their occupation is around the glory of God. It's like Lucifer. What was Lucifer's occupation according to the scriptures? So others will say songs, but the master, the Lord Jesus Christ, he said he didn't abide in truth. He was a custodian of truth. The first thing that Satan lost before he even attempted to take on Almighty God and was intercepted by Michael, it was truth.
Before Satan was produced, Lucifer became a liar.
He lied to himself, and then he lied to the beings that he had. The deception was because of lies. He didn't abide in the station called truth. He was the custodian of truth. That's why Jesus said, "When he speaks a lie, he speaks of himself." That's the first nature, the first nature of his fall was lying. So if you want to know who's a child of Satan is, those who lie. Liars are Satanists, and Satanists are liars. And you will see the mother of all sins is lies. Glory.
When you start lying, you must know that you will do anything under the earth that is evil.
Yes. M. They say money is the root of all evil.
Huh? If money is the root of all evil, what, what is the root of money? Lying.
It's lying. People will like to get money.
Yes.
Oh, the love of money. Sorry. The love of money is the root of all evil, not money. Okay? The love of money is the root of all evil. So lying is Satan's first nature. Before he said, "I will ascend to heaven. I will be like the most high. I will occupy the mountain." Before he said all those things, the mountain in the sides of the north, lies. So if you want to see a man or a woman start to get off, and then you want to be careful, it's when they start lying.
Because then you must be ready to cut that relationship. If they start lying, because Satan is produced by lies, and all Satanists started by lying. Where are you coming from? They lie. They had gone to a meeting, so they lie. Who did you, where were you, who were you with? Lying. And you know there are a lot of Christians who lie. Amen.
A lot of Christians who lie.
And I'll show you because the destruction of Samson in a coordinated manner, it involved lies. He was betrayed because of lies, and lies that originated from the house of Dagon. I'll get there. Let me not rush because I want to get to this story and do it justice.
Glory. So don't to lies. Yes, you may be told, okay, lies. This is white lies. Oh, I was just joking. You are playing with the devil himself. In fact, he's so happy if you start doing that because he knows, sorry, he's going to make a disciple out of you very quick. So lying is very serious. It's the beginning of Satan. He was a custodian of truth. The saraphim, these ones, they're custodians of the glory of God. You see the cherubim, they say "Holy, holy, holy," right?
Who was and is and is to come. Those ones, you see them carrying the throne, the mobile ones, they carry the throne. You have the static ones that are there that are guarding that environment. But you have these ones that are responsible for sending the glory to earth. So the reason they are associated with the sun, okay, the reason they are associated with the sun is because the sun, in relation to the earth, it's what sends us what? Light.
Amen.
And that light comes like marang, which is like glory, isn't it? The lights that come, the light that comes to light up the earth. So they are burning. They are the burning ones. They are, that's why they are associated with fire. They purge by fire. They purged the scene of, um, Isaiah by fire. And the thing that they wanted to get out of him was lying. Because you cannot operate in their family if you still have a little bit of unclean lips here and there. Are you with me?
Are you with me?
I think you appreciate that young man called so.
Yes.
I, I'm building up towards it. Let me say it straight so you understand. Samson means son man. Mhm. Son man, or little son. It doesn't mean the son of Sam. It means the son of the son of God. That's what it means. Sun name. And he was born in Zorah. Zorah means sunlight. He was born, the sun was born and gave light to Zorah. I shared with you that when, uh, Esther was born, and that's actually a very good teaching that you need to go back, 'cause I hope you people don't play with these teachings. Go back and learn. We are not just, oh next, we are not Athenians, oh next, oh next. We are building upon these things.
So you can be grounded. I shared with you that Esther, when she was born, they gave her the name Hadasa. Hadasa means a middle tree, which is a very specific tree. And it will seem that when she was born, there was also a projection of the class of angels that were revealed to, uh, Zachariah, or that mighty prophet Zachariah. He saw those angels that were around the middle tree, the ones that inspect the earth. When they were projected. Which means you can be around a tree, and that tree, it's an angel.
Okay.
There are trees that are known to, where did they come from? Where did they get life? There are some angels that were projected, and if people go and take the leaf from there and put it on a bread, they will get healed, or people will take the off, and then they say, "I got it." Being with a projection of an angel in, in, at that time, I want you to hear me, listen carefully, so you don't misquote me. At that time, God had put measures in place to help his people. Okay? Which included the pool of Bethesda, where an angel will come and touch the water. People will be healed. Others were healed by taking leaves from a little tree. They don't know they're getting from a projected angel by the Lord. Those angels who went into the pool, they were sent by the Lord. God. People go touch that water.
That all men of sickness, disease, when they come in contact with, they get healed. It was not only the water, my brother and sister. Some of it, it was trees. So Hadasa, Esther, when she was born, her birth coincided with the arrival of those beings, and they named her Hadasa. That thing attracted attack, the prince of Persia, because when she was born in Persia, the prince of Persia went to kill the parents so that her can be affected. Fortunately, God had already, um, prepared Mordecai to adopt her as his own and train her the right way. So her attack was not affected. So when she competed with other girls who may also have been beautiful, you know, in that contest, but her beauty was, was at another level because one, her was intact, and their relationship as a commander of that special angels that projected around the middle tree, as Zechariah saw them, that made her very special. She was a commander.
All right. All right.
Understand when she went to see that king, for that king to stretch his scepter like this, when he, he obtained favor. You must understand what he saw. You must understand what he saw. The brother of Jacob, when he was angry, and he gathered so many people to go and attack Jacob and his children and his wives. What did he see at night for him to change his heart and come and hug his brother? He saw the mighty angels that protected, uh, uh, Jacob. They called the fear of Isaac. Everywhere they go, they will be fear. You will be afraid of this man. Even if wherever he came from, you have guns, you've got everything. You say, "We are going to get him. I will do this to him." If it's people who speak, they say, "When I get there, I will finish him with my speech." When they get there, they will see something. They will see something. That's exactly what the king saw. This is his wife. He has not seen her for the past so many weeks. And the long stayed away from her, his heart is growing cold towards her. But when she came, her daughter came, he thought he's looking at Esther, his wife. He knew this is my wife, Esther. He met her Hadasa. When she came on the third day, it's a commander. She commands an army that over patrols the earth.
Glory to God.
He is a king of Persia. But the prince of Persia respects this girl that he calls his wife. Huh? Hadasa. So I'm telling you about the angels that sometimes when they come on mission on earth, there's a child who's born, and that child is their commander. And these children will have certain encounters, certain encounters, certain encounters. Praise the Lord. Glory.
Glory to God.
Their commanders, commanders. You know this man we are remembering, pastor of blessed memory. She was a commander.
Yes.
To do all that work that she did of restoration on earth. She, she was commanding an army. When she was taken, is it 8 days or 8 years, if she was taken to, to glory for reinforcement? It's a reinforcement to command certain things that have to disarm darkness on earth for the betterment of man. He was a commander. Glory to God.
Now you can understand when I introduce this young man called the son mayor Samson. Some people think Samson means the son of Sam. His father was not Sam. It was Manoa. Not a small boy. Manoa. Manoa was those, those men that, uh, today they need to be rebuked. Manoa was named after Noah. That's what Manoa means. It's Mark plus Noah. The grace upon Samson to command animals. It came upon him from his father Manoa.
He was named after Noah. That Noah who commanded the animals into the ark. M. That grace was upon him that he was an easily distracted man and possibly a drunkard who taught his wife to drink.
He was so graced. The grace didn't operate in his life. His son will operate that grace and command 300 foxes, gather them two by two. He tied them, loose them into the fields of the Philistines.
Manoa means rest or comfort. Exactly the same name of Noah. You didn't know Manoa is Mas Noah. It has a Noah in it. Check it. Glory to God. So his, this man, the, the story of Samson. It starts because you read the chapters, right? It starts with Israel. Israel has sinned against God. And when they sinned, the Bible says God gave them over or delivered them into the hands of the Philistines.
Yes.
Now, the Philistines occupied five cities. I'm going to mention them. The five cities that the Philistines lived in. It's Gaza. It's a coastal city next to the Mediterranean Sea. It's Ashkelon. Take note of Ashkelon. Coastal city as well. It's Ash. Ashot. That one of Ash, I want you to write down because Ashdot was the coordinating center to attack Samson. Ashdot. Then it's Ekron. Echron. Acron. The last one, it's Gath. These are the five cities. So we'll be able to link up when five lords of the Philistines came to Gaza, they were coming from the five cities. It was a representation from each city. They're going to come with 11,000 or 1100 pieces of silver, equivalent to 5,500 pieces of silver today. It's estimated between 14 to 15 million, equivalent to 260 million rand. If you can put 260 million head up upon a head, you know that man is mighty. This Samson was not a small boy.
You people have told you, don't underestimate that man. His birth included active involvement, active involvement of Dagon. That's why he was named after their god. He's the son man, one fury like the sun. Glory to God. So before he was born, the parents went through attack. I want you to hear me well. Uh, before you give birth, uh, to certain children, do you know you can interact with them before they are born? Before even they conceived? That's why there are people when they are young, sometimes they are single, they can say, "I saw this child," and I think I've gotten confirmation here and there. And we have to share these things so you understand because you people have confirmations. Most people are like someone where God has called them, but they don't know God was talking to them.
So you have to share this thing, then you will hear them raise up their hand and say, "Yes, I've had this experience where you interact with a child before you, you, you are even married." So what happens is this. I've asked this question from Jeremiah 1:5, which says, "Before I formed you, I knew you." I knew you. So you existed, and then be that's before I formed you. So I knew you, then I formed you. The formation took place in your mother's womb, and then before you came forth out of your mother's womb, I sanctified you. So there are things God has done in different stages, before and through formation, and then when you are in your mother's womb, before you came. It could be three months, or six, or nine. Mostly the six months. The five to six months is very critical before you came forth. Around five, six months. That's why the pregnancy that passes six months, it's worth celebration. I'm talking about the pregnancy of godly city. Okay, let's just say everything because so that you don't get confused. But it has to pass the six months. When it passes the six months, then it must go to the last three months and pass that and be born. So, "Before I formed you, I knew you. When I formed you, there are certain things I did." That's God speaking to Jeremiah. Okay? The Jeremiah who saw Moab's glory. And then, and then he says, "Before you came forth, I sanctified you. I ordained you a prophet." Okay?
So I sanctified you. I you a prophet before you came forth. Which means there are certain things that God can deposit into the child, assignments, certain things that the child must do. There could be additional things in month five to six that are given that were not part of this original because the scope has changed. Things have changed out there, and hence the importance of keeping and protecting throughout. And then there are certain things that can come after the child is born. Okay? You meet a man or woman of God sent by God to deposit certain things in you. Simeon, "You will not die until you see the Messiah." All your prayers, you are preserving them for him. When you hold him, transfer to him, and then go and die. Anna, you've been fasting since you lost your husband when you were young, for many years, for over six years, you've been praying those prayers. Put them upon this boy.
Because this boy is going to go through. Nobody will be attacked more than Jesus by darkness. Nobody. For him to come out even of hell. Glory to God. You think about what Anna prayed now to pray that she believed God. Remember she's that widow of Luke 18 that Jesus talks about. There was a certain widow went to an unjust judge. She's that widow. She was that gloriously stubborn. H. In her prayers, she has declared, "He will come out of that place." They say nobody comes out of hell. "He will come out." "Man, he will come out of hell." Hell will not be able to hold him back. So that's why when she, she holds him when he was young, there's some things she deposited in him and says, "Now I can also die." It's a network. It's a coordinated network of the working of the Spirit of God. There is nothing just haphazard, you know, it just happens. That's why the people that say, "No, I'm, I am a stand-alone. Me, I'm my own man, my own woman." Lies. It doesn't happen like that.
Amen.
The, the way the Spirit of God works, it's a coordinated way. There is a, there is relationships. There is a network of the Spirit of God. You can't be your own.
Glory to God.
Glory.
So these men and women, they suffered the attack. The attack was coordinated before Samson was born. It was co-ordinated from the house of Dagon. I want to show you how Dagon looks. If you like me, I'm going to ask the, the team to just show this picture quickly. I will tell you to show it. So, for now, just keep it. Uh, Dagon was what you call a fish god. A fish god.
He was introduced to the Philistines by the giants. The giants came to the Philistines from the Mediterranean Sea. The same sea that in the northern part, Ezekiel also, the center, trade center, close to Lebanon in the north. So I'm not telling you things that happen in heaven here on earth in the body of water that we can show you. This is the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea is probably the most spiritual sea than all the other seas. The reason being, it's closer to the holy land, and the holy land is a place of target. So these giants, they came through the Mediterranean Sea and they intermingled with the Philistines among the five cities because they were all in the coast, except maybe, uh, Ekron. Ekron is a little bit inland, and Gath is a little bit inland, but Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdot, they are all under in the coast, very close to the coast. Remember I told you Ashdot, I will finish with, with Ashdot. I'll tell you what, which, which one is Ashdot. Ashdot was the coordinating center because it housed this god called Dagon. Now, show Dagon. This is how Dagon looked quickly. They're not ready. You tell me if you're ready. So Dagon was based in Ashdot.
That was the main temple. You see, you see the, it's a fish and a human.
That thing was introduced to human beings called the Philistines. All right. Through, uh, the, the giants. Okay. Thank you. These are those things that God will say, "Oh, don't make images of things you see on the water."
Yes.
Under the earth, or maybe in, in space. And don't worship them. The Philistines came with them, and I mean the giants came with them and introduced them to the Philistines. Then the Philistines adopted these gods and they worshiped them. Now, the giants, they were on a mission. Their mission is to populate the whole land and prevent the arrival of Messiah. They must prevent the birth of Christ who is coming to restore man. The giants were the seed of Satan. And Satan, remember from the beginning, he's after the glory, after the tam. He wants to rule over the earth. He wants to, to conquer and take over. So he had the first face of the first giants before the flood, and those giants, they were destroyed by the flood. But the mothers that were pregnant at the time of the flood and could survive the waters, because remember, the mothers were a special breed that was prepared to t those angels. So when they, after the flood, emerged, they gave birth. They gave birth to these giants. So they were giants before the flood and after the flood. You know the flood didn't destroy whatever survives the water, right?
Yes.
Or in the earth, you're expecting to see a crocodile.
No, the crocodile didn't have to leave the water. It was there in the water. The fish was there in the water. The creatures were there. So those human beings that could survive the waters, which will include what you call mermaids, which they look like. So they will have survived, and then they give birth. In honor of them surviving, if you can understand one of them surviving the punishment from God, we're going to worship this fish men who will fish look like goddesses. We will honor them. So they will be worshipped. The, the coordinating center was Ashdot. Don't forget Ashdot.
The coordinating center is Ashdot. Now, Dagon was known one to be a fertility god. So people used to go to Dagon to get those who wanted children. Okay. Number two. So I said, first, Dagon was based where? In Ashdot. Number two, Dagon was a fertility god, which means he's involved with production of children. Hh.
You understand why he's involved with production of children. He produced giants. He's the one who says, "Well, if the punishment comes, we can still produce." Number three, Dagon's strength was in the head and the hands.
Dagon's strength was where?
In the head and in the hands. How do we know? In the day of priest, early days of summer, 1st Samuel chapter 5, the ark of Israel was taken. Which ark? The ark of glory. It was taken where? To Ash, where? To the house of Dagon. The following day, what did the ark destroy? The head. And what? The hands. Take note of that because Samson, if what is after you, its strength is in the head, take off your head.
You didn't hear that? If what is after you has strength in the head, take off your head. Some, so that's why the woke up only the head of, and the heads went down. They were up, destroyed. Take note that when the ark was taken in house, there's a child that is born because the mother reacts to the news that in the taking of the ark, and fine died, and they give birth to a child, and the child is called what? What does Ichabod mean? The glory has departed. Where is the glory? It's in the house of David. The glory. Now you're with me. So when Samson is to be born, the parents are already going through the battle. They do not know its origin. And this is what I was trying to say when I say some children, they can fight the battle before they are born.
That's what I was trying to say. Before you were born, I knew you. So if a parent can interact with the child before the child is even conceived and born, maybe the parent is still a single person, it means that being is in existence, it's assisting. So you can imagine that Samson, if he was helping his mother and father, what form did he come as? Light.
It's a blending one.
Okay. Related to the Sarah.
This, you know, glory to God.
So that's why I give you homework, because if I, I was to read, so I'll give you certain verses, but if I was to read each verse, each verse, each verse, we will not finish tonight. Are you available until off?
I agree. Some of you have to go to work tomorrow. Praise God. And so understand that the parents, they started to suffer. One of the suffering they had was alcohol problem. There is no way the angel will say, "Don't take strong wine unless you are used to taking it." Yes, they, there are problems that parents can suffer because of what is coming to them, and they may not know why am I like this? So the first attack against Samson, coordinated from the house of Dagon, which was located in Ashdot. That attack was directed towards his parents by giving them two bad habits. Alcohol and eating unclean things. They had strong desire for unclean things. They had appetite for unclean things. Strong drink, and it contributed to the infertility for the mother. I will show you because that's why she's told, "I am here, you will conceive, but stop this and this and this."
Yes.
The things she was told to stop by the angel, it's what was contributing to the infertility. Now, I want you to hear me and hear me very well, because this was a well-coordinated, planned attack released in phases before he's born. Let's attack the parents and the place where they stay. This place is a very special place. It's, uh, if, if you, you know the territory, the territory belongs to the children of Dan, but it's very close to Judah. Therefore, if you do a profile, a cross-section from the east Jerusalem and then you go to the coast, you will come from the Judean mountains, and then you come to these low-lying areas that are made of hills and valleys. Those were the most fertile lands before you get to the coast towards the Mediterranean Sea. What I'm telling you, if you take a map, you will see what I'm talking about. So the most fertile land is located in these regions. It is a famous valley called the Valley of Sorek. It's where they will grow grapes. They used to grow grapes that was very sweet, small, and seedless in Sorek. Samson, in part of this attack, he's going to go to that valley. He will meet a girl there. And you can think about it. You meet a girl that is sent by Satan in the valley that is grapes, which you must not touch. Let's go back. Zorah means light or sunrise. That's where Samson was born. The parents, they are already going through a form of attack. They can't explain it. Why Manoa is introducing strong drink to his wife. His wife was very sharp, very, very sharp. But she was one of those women that you can tell, they get married to the men, and the men teach them to drink.
There are women like that. They get married, and their husband teaches them to drink. I'm talking Christians. We have not been talking the world. The world, you will find a lot of them. A Christian woman married to a man who's a drunkard, and he got this habit somewhere because you see the attack is very well coordinated. He would have gone out, and we know Manoa used to go out a lot, and that's why even if he can pray to God that God send an angel so I can hear the message, when the angel comes, you will not find Manoa, he will be out. The credit I give him is he stayed with his wife regardless of the challenges. But on the other hand, he's the one who brought the challenge to the house. Manoa. M.
When he's out there, he does not know that he carries special grace. He will be a father of one of the most mighty and strongest being called the son man, the man of the sun. So when he's meeting with people, Ashdot was known to be the center of illegitimate children. What the Bible calls a bastard. You know when the Bible says a bastard, a bastard, it's an illegitimate child. So in the cities, the five cities of Philistia, Ashdot, where Dagon was, was known to be a place where they give birth to bastards.
Are you listening?
These bastards will then be distributed to the five cities or the other four cities, and they will become harlots. They will become what? Prostitutes. Now you will understand the prostitute that Daniel Samson met in Gaza. It's a bastard from Ashdot. Put Zechariah 9:6. It's not only the house of Babel. It produces illegitimate children. It's children that you cannot tell their father where they come from. Look there. "And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines." The pride of the Philistines was Ashdot, because that's the center of demon. So when men go there, they just plant children. Those children are fatherless. Then they are exported to Gaza. They become prostitutes there. And when, when, uh, Samson went to Gaza, he met one of these bastards. By the time he meets Gaza, he's finished by this bastard. It's Bible. There we are reading it. Zechariah, the bastards of Ashdot, illegitimate children. You don't know their father. I hope Manoa never went to Ashdot. If I show you the map, you will be shocked. How close was Zorah to Tim?
It's 10 miles. It's 7 miles. I mean, it's 7 miles. 10 kilometers. So when the Bible says Samson went down to Tim, he traveled 10 kilometers. 7 miles is just to walk from here to 7 miles, and they get that girl in Timnah. So when they say, "He went to Ashkelon, we went to Gaza," we are not talking so many kilometers. You are going down there. I hope Manoa did not bring trouble from Ashdot. The pastors of Ashdot. One thing we know, he taught his wife to drink, and it was a part of attack. Remember I'm telling you about coordinated attack that was written down that will start before he's born, and when he's born, we'll do this and this and this will finish with him here.
[Music]
That's the first one. Now, I don't have time to tell you the tribe of Dan. Why is the only tribe missing in Revelation 7? The 144,000, it's not there because this tribe was marked on the case of Samson, and it's the only greatest dote because this tribe was marked that will make it useless, and it will love useless things. And everywhere it goes, it must be swallowed by the culture of that place to an extent that when Christ comes, he will look for the Danites and not find them among the Jewish people, specially marked to save God. 144,000, not there. Revelation 7 has no man of D. Amazingly, the, the, the people of Dan, they occupy a town in Israel called Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is where Ben-Gurion Airport is. If you go to Israel, you go to Tel Aviv, you will think you are in Cape Town or any other city, ungodly city.
Where people live a free life. You go to Jerusalem, you can see order. There is a religious atmosphere and a form of respect in Tel Aviv. People can walk with a mini skirt. You know, you will not see a mini skirt in Jerusalem.
If you see a mini skirt in Jerusalem, you were not in Jerusalem. We must find out where you were. People dress decently there. They've got a religious, they still have religious, you know, consciousness. And I went in Tel Aviv. It's free for all. And that's where Dan is. So when you think about it, is those televisions, are they open for Christ when he comes? No. Anyway, I'm just showing you something there. So take note that the angel of the Lord came. Um, we're going to read few verses here as I build towards. Still have a bit of time. I want to share all the way to Philippi. And there was a certain man of Zorah, verse 2, Judges 13, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoa. You see, Noah and his wife was barren in Beno. Take note when it says she was barren in Beno. You will never find that expression in others that were like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and, uh, Hannah. When it says barren, mean, bay, not. What it means is there's two conditions, there's two problems. It's bar and bear not. The bear not means even if she takes in, she will suffer miscarriage. She bear not. And that's why when the angel comes, she says, "You are barren, you bear not, but you shall conceive and bear." So take, take note of verse four. "The angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman and said unto her, Behold, now you are barren." We have no time to tell you about this angel of the Lord. All right.
Even they asked his name. He said, "Don't worry about my name. It's secret."
All right.
This is a special angel in relation to this young man. "Behold, now you are in Bon, but you shall conceive in B. And you see, but you shall conceive. There is a but. Ignore that. This is what's going to happen. Not only will you conceive, but you will bear. You will survive the different stages."
Glory.
When you hear the angel speak like this, this, um, you know, there are men that endanger the pregnancies of their wives.
Yes.
There are wicked men that are instruments of Satan in destroying godly seed. When the wife is pregnant, they are unfaithful. They are meeting bastards of Ashdot, and they come and they meet with their wife, and they endanger a special seed. Some of that special seed is lost through miscarriage. They can blame God, but it's them where they have been, with whom they have been, or complication with the pregnancy. There are men like that, and a lot of them. No consideration of who's coming, no consideration of this woman. They want to have their way, and there's a way to behave, and there is a right way to do things.
When your wife is pregnant, and there's proper guidance. So what most men do, or some men do, they just leave any, go all over the place, carry stuff. That's what the angel say. "You will conceive and bear." Tell woman, no.
I do give him credit. He stayed with her, but what's the use of staying and they might bring in trouble?
I have little grace for Manoa, sorry. Maybe I'll find grace for him sometime. I have little grace for Manoa. Don't have much grace for you. Verse four. "Now therefore, beware, listen to this instruction. Now therefore, beware, I pray you." The enemy is praying. Why do you need to ask and beg? If a person is doesn't struggle from that,
Yes.
Huh? Will you come and beg a person? "Don't eat pumpkin." I, I'm asking you for the next month. "Please don't eat pumpkin." If you are not known to be a pumpkin eater, who says I am begging you? "I pray. I am on my knees." This is what the expression is. "Among my knees, I pray you, drink not wine nor strong drink." Do you see they used to drink two classes? It's wine and strong drink.
[Music]
"Drink not wine. No strong drink." Strong drink, it means alcohol. The wine here is fermented one. This one, the strong drink, it's telling you it's not just the, the wine. This is something.
Yes.
Maybe it's the alcohol from Ashdot. He says, "I'm begging you. I'm asking you." Why should he be who introduced this kind of lifestyle to this dear woman, Manoa? Every man that introduces his wife to a bad lifestyle is an evil man. Amen.
It's an evil man. To take somebody's daughter from her father's house, maybe where she was stable, she knew where she was going. And then she comes, and then she's taught how to drink different kinds. This one, and this one has zero percent. This one is at least five. This is 15. And you know a woman, she mustn't learn how to drink because she overdoes it. That's why the angel said, "I know you. I'm begging you. I only wy. I know you." They think this thing that's coming here does not need that because the thing that's against it, the strength is in the head and in the hands. Dagon's strength is here and in the hands. So I'm begging you. This is begging.
Glory.
You will see when pray that the angel come back. He doesn't have much to talk to him because he, he becomes fully man. If, if, if I was to beat you, I will beat you before I leave this place. It's, it's wickedness for every man to teach his wife bad manners. It's wickedness. You are supposed to find that woman and make her a better version of herself, not worse. It's wickedness. Take note of this. For look, "you shall conceive." That's verse five. "And and bear a son. And no razor shall come on his head." Already, protect the head.
Yes.
"For the child shall be a Nazarite unto God. He will be separated unto God from young age." You see that? So I want to show you something in verse four, 'cause I didn't finish that part. "I pray you and drink not wine nor strong drink and eat not any unclean thing." The thing that was affecting her is the thing that she was consuming and addicted to as a form of that attack. Do you understand?
When the angel say, "You must stop this," she's not saying the angel is not stop this after conception. Stop this now. That stopping is going to lead to conception. That's exactly what he's saying here. "For whom you shall conceive after stopping those." So one of the other thing is it was eating of unclean things. What was known to be, uh, prohibited according to the law. Manoa taught her to eat those things. Not only did he come with the sme from Ashdot, he came with pig meat from one of the cities of the Philistines. Pork. I told you yours is not at risk. I'm talking about this woman. Don't worry for her. Pork, it's one of those. Man, I tested pork in Ashdot. I wanted to taste. She tested. She ate, and she became addicted, and those things were working against her body. So, "for whom you shall conceive and bear a son, and no shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God." From the womb, from the womb, you will be a Nazarite. A Nazarite. One of the things about Nazarites, they are separated unto God, including their hair. We'll tell you more about the Nazarites. "And he shall begin, look at his purpose. It's already declared. He shall begin to do what? To deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."
You can't deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines if you don't deal with the giants.
If you deal with the giants, you have to deal with their mother. We go. Are you with me?
Amen.
Okay. Then the, the woman came and told her husband, say, "A man of God came unto me. His countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God." You see, she can tell you, "It's like an angel of God." His countenance, very terrible. When you say terrible, it means fearsome. It was so strong. But I asked him not whence he was, neither to he name his name. But he said unto me, "Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and now drink no wine, nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death." Then Manoa intreated the Lord. Look at Manoa in the Lord and said, "Oh my Lord, let the man of God which you did send come again unto us and teach us what we should we shall do unto the child that shall be born." And God hearkened to the voice of Manoa. Imagine God heard the voice of Manoa. But when God sent the angel, Manoa will not be anywhere to be found. You know, there are some people God treats them so special, but they don't treat him special. And God came to the voice of Manoa, and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field, but Manoa her husband was not with her. This is what I call Manoa syndrome. Manoa syndrome is a disease where when God is coming to answer your prayer, you are not there. You are nowhere to be found. Full of excuses, something valid, but it's still an excuse. You still miss the timing of God.
That's Manoa syndrome. And the woman made haste and ran and showed her husband and said unto him, "Behold, a man that appeared unto me that came unto me the other day has appeared unto me." And Manoa arose and went after his wife, and came unto the man and said unto him, "Are you the man that spake unto the woman?" He said, "I am." No, no, not much. "I am." And Manoa said, "Now let your words come to pass. How shall we, and how shall we do unto him?" And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoa, "Of all that I said unto the the woman, let her be well." So I have a message for you. Face. I am okay. "How shall we deal with the child?" Your wife has told you. She may not eat of anything that comes with the vine. Neither let her drink wine. Neither let her, because it is you. Neither let her. You are the one who's been letting her. You hear or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. You are the one who bring unclean thing to her. All that I commanded, let her observe." And Manoa said unto the angel of the Lord, "I pray let us detain you until we shall have made ready a kid for you." That is good. Now Manoa gets some credit there. So let's take care of our visitors. And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoa, "Though you detain me, I will not eat of your bread." When he visited Abraham, he ate his bread.
Yes.
You remember when he visited Gideon, he said, "No, I will wait. You can go and prepare for anah." He says, "I want you to know that even if you keep me here, I'm not going to eat your bread." Wow. I don't know where that bread is coming from. From the bastards of Ashdot. "I will not eat of your bread. If you will offer a burnt offering, you must offer it unto the Lord." For Manoa knew not that he was an angel of the Lord. He was so far from God that even when he's speaking to an angel of the Lord, he doesn't know he's talking to an angel of the Lord. Although his wife said to him, "The man who came to me, he had a countenance like an angel of the Lord." Do you hear? No consideration. "I'm talking to a man of God." Which means you see angels, they can project here and look like a tree.
They can project and look like an ordinary man. Manoa said unto the angel of the, "What is your name?" Instead of asking, "What is the son's name that you said you will give birth?" "What is your name?" He's not going to entertain you. Look at it. "What is your name?" "That when you're saying come to pass, we may do you honor." And the angel of the Lord said unto him, "Why ask you thus after my name, seeing it is secret?" Okay, this is, do you hear what he's saying? "Why are you asking my name? Seeing it is wonderful." That word secret is wonderful. You remember those beings that are, he can't look at their face. Remember he says, "I am undone. I am a man of unclean lips." Lips, and my eyes have seen the King of Glory, and I'm not worthy to see him." Says Manoa, "You are not worthy to even mention my name. Why are you asking? It's secret." H. You didn't read in your Bible, did you?
Yes.
Praise the Lord.
Are we
Still online? Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amen.
So, the way you are so quiet, it's landing. You are hearing an angel answering a man and he's not happy with him. So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, offered it upon a rock unto the Lord, and the angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Now, it came to pass when the flame went up, when the what? "The flame went up." They go with the flame. These are fiery ones. Fire, it went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. He uses fire to transport. And Manoah and his wife looked on it and fell on their faces to the ground.
But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord. After he's gone. That's when he knew. Now listen to his statement. And Manoah said that to his wife, "We shall surely die because we have seen God."
Listen to his wife. Sensible, understanding. But his wife said unto him, "If the Lord pleased to kill us, if the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our nether. Nor will he have showed us all these things, nor will this essay this time have told us such things as this." So what she says, "You think he's going to kill us after he told us we're going to bear a son who will deliver Israel from Philistine? If he kills us, how, how will the son come?"
So far from God, spiritual things, they register after a long time. I'm preaching like this so that the men can rise up and repent. Amen. Our wives must not be better than us in our relationship with God. Amen. Amen. Our sisters must not be better than us in our relationship with God. Amen. Glory. Glory. We must lead them in the path of righteousness. Amen. Not lead, mislead them.
And the woman bare a son and called his name Samson, which is the son man. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. Now, it's verse 25 that I want you to hear, and then I'll summarize the rest as we finish. The Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times. Do you hear? To move him at what? At times. In the camp of Dan between Zorah and. To move him, it's the word, it's the word "pam." Amazing is this is the word "pam." P-A-M. It means to take, to tape. The spirit used to take. It means to beat regularly. There was a way of beating him, to agitate him, to trouble him. When the spirit was about to do something with him, he, he will tape him. There was a sign he used to give him. This is the sign that developed into a language between him and the spirit. When the Bible says Samson will go and shake, as other time, there was a way Samson will communicate with the spirit, and the spirit of God will respond. And there was a way he used to talk to him, and then he will also speak, um, I mean, he will respond back. But this one, it was a training in teleportation. It was a training. When it says he started to move in between Zorah and. So Samson, the Spirit of God will tap him, and then you will move in, in what is called teleporting. Teleporting is to move, relocate from one place to another without traveling the distance. It's like you are here, and then you are there. Mhm. In John chapter 6, the Bible says when Jesus walked on the water, and he came on the boat, the Bible says immediately the boat was at the shore. It was teleported. It's teleport. Now you understand why Philip left that body of water and was found in. Hallelujah. I'm so excited because I already see where it's going. Glory to God. So teleporting is to travel. Where this has happened, there are people who have experienced this, where they were going to a place, and then they started, they were here, and the next thing they, it's like they, in no time. Like normally, it, this thing will take you two hours, but it's like in no time you were at the garage, you came out of the garage, and then the next thing you are getting into the town where you were traveling. I have never experienced it, but you know the experiences of God are not limited to our personal experience. There are people who have experienced it and they've testified that they were so late, they, they saw themselves here, and the next time they were over there. Jesse Duplantis has experienced that too. It's teleportation. So the Spirit of God started to teach him that part of it is because of what his mission was, because he needs to teleport into cities, appear there, do something, disappear, and appear there, do something. That was his mission. Operating like a seraph, fire moving at the speed of fire, light. He's supposed to do that. So the spirit was training him in teleportation. Of course, you teleport into house that center that's coordinating the attack that started before you were born and destroy that place.
Now, here is Samson's error. Sometimes when you have a, a, when you have a, um, a call, right? Or you have a vision, and you are doing well. Maybe you are young, you are not married, you have a business, you have this, you have this. There's an error that comes and agitates young men and set them up for traps. It's an error that says, "What's the use of all this if you don't, you are not married?" There are people that sometimes pursue marriage because they are doing well, not because they feel they need it. It's pressure from people. "What's the use of all these riches?" There are people who get married out of pressure. "I have a ministry. I have to be married. How will I manage if I'm not married?" Now you marry under pressure, not because you feel you want to do it. So when he started to move, he knew I have something special. So the spirit tested him between Zorah and, which was very short distance, not long distance, short distance. We are talking about maybe 5 kilometers. It's very short. Here, I mean, he's there, he's there. So he was learning how to respond. How the spirit taps him, "pam" him, he "pam"med him, he agitated him, he, he will trouble him. So it's time to move. So he will know the spirit is talking to me. So if, if he was there with you, something will know the spirit of God is talking to me. My master is talking to me. And then he will go, and then the next thing he's not there. He's over there. He's over there. He's over there. Man, when he started to do that in Ashdod, it reported trouble, trouble, trouble. That boy who could not prevent, who could not kill, he's growing, and now he's in touch with the spirit. It's a matter of time before he teleports into the whole Mediterranean and shut down all those porters. And what are you going to do with him? When we tell you that Samson was a mighty being, don't underestimate Samson. Glory. He's one of my friends. Now, when I get to heaven, I'll spend time with Samson. Glory to God. Hallelujah. But anyway, he, he started to send those signals. They upped the, the attack. So this is what they did. Samson, regardless of all these challenges that his parents had, the good thing about Manoah, I believe out of this correction by an angel, when he saw the way the angel treated him, he really stopped drinking and stopped the nonsense. You see, and the result was when Samson was born, he saw love between his parents and from his parents to him. So he thought he thought he was supposed to get married. But as a Nazarite, it's not just the hair. It includes grace in the area of relationship where you are okay. Let's say it this way so you can understand. Not everyone will get married, and not everyone should get married. But everyone who wants to get married can get married. But to send a message to people that if you are not married, there's something wrong with you. It's wrong. You can get married if you want to. You don't have to. But you do have to live a holy life. Glory. Glory. There is immoral. There is immorality of single people. It's called fornication. And there is immorality of married people. It's called adultery. Adultery. It's a class of immorality involving a married person. Fornication, it's an immorality, sexual immorality done by single people. When a married and a single person commit sexual immorality, one is doing adultery, the other is committing fornication. So to avoid that, get married and settle. The Bible says if you, if you feel I can't contain myself, settle down. Ask God to help you identify the right individual so you also don't marry into trouble. But as a Nazarite, he was supposed to also know that if I'm a Nazarite from the womb, there was grace given to me where I will be able to hold myself. I don't have to be pushed. So what pushed him into that is when people start to say, "With such a mighty spirit of God, come from a nice family, go get a wife." And so he did. He went to Timnah, which was 10 kilometers from his hometown. He found a girl. The girl had what is called "tam." The way the Bible put it, Samson said, "She pleases me. She pleased me." Well, that word "pleased" is the word. It means straight or upright. And she, he tested there twice. The first time he tested there, is verse three in chapter 14:3. Be quick, please. And Samson said, "Get her for me, for she pleases me well. She pleases me well." That word is she's straight. She's upright. She's one of those that have "tam." And then he tested her again in verse seven, because he needed to check. And he went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson so well. She pleased him well. He found that she's straight. She's upright. She was one of those like in Moab, like in Egypt. The problem was her father was a direct copy of Laban. The father was a direct copy of Laban. Guru, what we call when they say "cook," it is the father of this girl. Now, when the Bible says Isaiah saw some souls that had been straight and they were crooked, and before the glory of God manifest, they must be made straight. It was the coordination of that attack directed through the father that will make Samson crooked. Up until this time, Samson is straight. That's why he went to get married. He saw the girl. He didn't go in unto her. He went back to involve the parents. He came down with the parents. They saw her. They went back together. He came back again now to get married. In fact, he came to see her and went back, and then he came back to get married the right way. The father was exactly like Laban. Laban is that man that God himself said, "You see, I'm leaving the throne. I'm going to him to appear to him in a dream. I want to rebuke him. This man, he annoys me." And he went, he said, "Lover, don't say anything good or bad to Jeb. If you do, I will show you that I am God."
There are attitudes that people hold that can annoy God and angels. Yes. Sometimes they can act sweet around people and so forth, but inside they are very, very vile. They can annoy God and annoy the spirit of God or agitate, and you know, irritate, that's maybe the right word. Manoah was one of them. And this man, this man, what this is what he did. People, and I know you read, but this man did was when Samson came to marry, this man, he loved money, so he went to hire 30 companions, 30 people of Philistine. A Philistine. There are five cities, and you hire 30 people. It's six from each city, right? Six from Gaza, six from Ashkelon, six from Ashdod, six from Ekron, six from Gath. 30 of them. The reason he brought them is those people that when you invite, you are hoping them to give gifts in the wedding. Among them, there was one who had already been identified by the father that he should marry the girl who was the firstborn. She had a younger sister. So when he came, he put him out of the 30 and said, "This is your best friend." The guy knew that this is, this girl was given to me. These are marriages arranged under the supervision of David, and this will be a snare for the young man Samson. Samson, who was supposed to give us the book of riders. We were supposed to have a book called the book of riders to go together with Proverbs. So you can see manifestation of masterminds. Out of the eater came meat. Out of the storm came sweetness. I give you seven days to tell me what it is. They went to consult the god. They could not crack it. They came to threaten her and said, "Hey, tell us." So she went because they said, "We will blame you and your father." They manipulated her, and then she, she, she dug the information out of some sort. He told her. When he told her, she told them. When they told, when she told them, they told him the answer. Samson, for the first time, for the first time in his life, he tasted wrong emotion of anger to the level that the Bible says he was breathing through his nose. Samson became a crook, which means like this. He had been straight. He became a crook because he was trying to meander. You know, a river meanders. He was meandering around crooks until he became like them. The father was a crook. That's why the men that he invited, they came to him and said to the girl, they said, "Did you call us here to take our clothes?" Because Samson gave the riddle and said, "If you don't solve it, I will get the clothes, the garments from you." What? What did Samson want the garments for? The father put a demand on him, knowing there are 30 people. She, he went to him and said, "Samson, I know you have paid out. There is something missing. The thing that is missing is this kind of clothes, and I need 30 of them." So Samson, because his strength was here when he was there, thought the way to get it, I will put a riddle, but he was falling into a trap. Yes. Are you people with me? The, the was added because of the wickedness of that father, because when he invited the people, he thought they will contribute. They didn't contribute. So he thought, "These guys cannot go with their clothes." But then I, I thought they will, you know, they will give me the blankets, the clothes. So I have to tell Samson that, "Samson, cut out of your, no, for you to take my daughter, you must give me 30 changes of the garments of the Philistines. It must be of the Philistines." That's what I want. So Samson thought, "Where will I get it?" So that's why he put a riddle. So obviously, they, they pressurized the wife, she betrayed him. That was betrayal number one. I'll come to that word betrayal. So when Samson realized they've cracked the riddle, which he thought there's no way they want to crack it, the result was he went down to Ashkelon. I don't know why he didn't go to Ashdod, because Ashkelon is close to Ashdod. But he went to Ashkelon. He, they stripped out of 30 Philistines, and he brought the clothes. When he was there, he was angry. Samson was, he, he grew up stable. He had not tested the level of anger that he felt after betrayed. Let me tell you something about betrayal. First of all, betrayal is probably the highest form of attack you can receive as a child of God. How do we know the attack that was used against Jesus is what? It's betrayal. Do you know in Matthew 26 alone, the word betrayer, it's mentioned nine times? Go and read it. Nine times. In Matthew 26, verse 2, verse 16, verse 21, 23, 24, 25, 45, 46, 48. Nine times Jesus says, "I will be betrayed. I will be betrayed. I will be betrayed." The highest form of attack you can receive as a child of God is betrayal. That's what was unleashed upon Samson. Samson suffered four betrayals. Write them down. Soon you can go back and read. The first betrayal that he suffered, it's his wife killing the. How can you betray me? The second betrayal, it's when his father-in-law gave his wife to his best friend who was allocated to him from the 30 companions. That was the second betrayal. The betrayal number three, it was when the best friend who had stood out as his best friend in the feast, on the day of the feast, betrayed him by taking that wife to show that this was arranged before. Are you listening to me? The fourth and the last betrayal that finished him was the. Now, the result of those betrayals was Samson became angry, and his arm was tempered with his perception. He dealt with crooks, and he became a crook. Let me tell you what, how you get altered in your "tam" when you were straight. You get so heartbroken and betrayed until you leave your ideals and your values and say, "I will do it my way." And when you do that, you lose yourself even more. They have, I have done things the right way. This is what they treat me with. The betrayal attacks the trust. It makes light of the trust. That's why it's the most painful. And you are never betrayed by strangers. That you need to know. You will be betrayed by people you know, people you have loved, people you took care of. Judas betrayed Jesus. The painful thing is he knew where Jesus would be at that time in the garden praying. I will find him there. I am sure 100%. He made light of the trust that was given him. Probably in this world, in one of those, in some of those things that when they say "room for disappointment," you must have room for betrayal. Because if the master could be betrayed, you will be betrayed. For you to live your life as if no, nobody can betray me, what's so special about you? Jesus was betrayed. You must have that room that says, "It can happen." So when it happens, it doesn't shock you. So for Samson, it was a shock. It took him by surprise that people can be like this. It was first his wife who laughed so well. Then it's his father-in-law, then it's his best friend. From this moment, you can tell Samson was not on the street. The first thing that he did, chapter 16, he went down to Gaza and saw a harlot and went in unto her. But before his "tam" was tempered with, when he sees one, he goes back and tells his father and mother. He doesn't believe in that anymore. He's becoming a crook like them. But the problem is he's meeting a harlot in Gaza, but it's a bastard that was exported from Ashdod, and he's getting deeper and deeper into the thread. So the betrayal of the wife, of the father-in-law, of the best friend, and meeting with the harlot emptied Samson. By the time he went to the valley of Sorek, where he meets Delilah, Delilah means lack of vitality, lack of energy. It means weak. Delilah was a weak woman. He loved a weak woman. Now I want you to listen to me. The time he meets Delilah, even if the Bible says Samson loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, the valley of grapes, the love that he shows her, it's not a love that's coming from a full person. It's a love from a broken person. That kind of love is extremely dangerous. First of all, if that man gives deliverance and he finds himself, he will say, "How did I get into this state with this woman?" There are cases like that. Amen. Because even if he says love, it's not love. It's broken. It, it's a love from a, the polluted. The character has already been weakened, and now he meets a woman that is in the valley of Sorek. The valley was known for growing grapes and producing wine. Could it be that he also started to drink? Their name is languishing, which Delilah means languishing. It means weak. So what it means is even herself, she's not strong. That's why when she's approached by these five lords of the Philistines from the five cities, when they heard that Samson is now in love with her, they said, "Let's go to her. She is sweet." What it means is she can change. She can change. She can say this and change. She's easy to influence. In his weak state, he met a weak one, played right into the hands of. The result is when they came and said, "100 pieces of silver from each of us, equivalent to 14 to 15 million today, $260 million rand." To protect his best, he can pay money. Yes. He knew this seed is very special. The seed, the giants. Samson is here to teleport, even destroy them. Remember, Samson was well ahead of his time. He was supposed to do what will later be done by David. It became an additional, um, assignment because David was coming to be a king. Dealing with the giant was not the primary thing. That thing was given to Samson. That's why he was given the ability to teleport. So the result is she betrayed him, finished him, and then he finds himself in prison. Obviously, he got restored, but he doesn't want to live anymore. He can't live with himself. Failed potential. Judged Israel for 20 years. Did not produce a child. Did not produce nothing. Even rides, the rides of Samson, nowhere to be found. So he died, and the Bible says they broke, they buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol. He died in Gaza. Take note. When he died, the Bible says that part we must read as we conclude. It says, "They took him out of prison and said, 'We need to rejoice in the house of our God, who delivered him unto us.'" Look at Judges chapter 16, verse 23 and 24. Listen to hear the coordination of their attack. It says, "Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their Lord and to rejoice, for they said, 'Our God has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.'" David brought him into our hands. He was attacked by a coordinated attack from the house of Dagon in Ashdod. This is happening in Gaza where they've got an assembly point. They're worshiping Dagon. But the main temple is where is the main temple of Dagon? Ashdod. Don't forget that you Ashdod, for they said, "Our God has delivered into our hands our enemy." Okay. Verse 24. "When the people saw him, they praised their God, for they said, 'Our God has delivered into our hands our enemy and the destroyer of our country, which slew so many of us. God has done it.'" And of course, he brought down that house in Gaza. He died with them. They were gathered near the Lord. They paid with their life. Some, some died. They, being. But in heaven, all works of darkness are recorded, and all their networks. It may take years, but what God said that what Amalek did, I will never forgive. I will never forget. He said, "In generations to come, I will look after until I wipe them off the map of the face of the earth." That's God for you. He said, "Those who hate me, he says, I will pursue them to their 10th generation." Oh, you don't want God pursuing after you. Became this special one, the son man, until Jesus. Oh, I love the end of this story. Glory to God. Until Jesus came, he knew what happened. Broke his heart. Then he told the disciples when he was anointing them, he said, "Go into all the cities for now. Don't even enter Samaria. Don't go there. Don't go to Samaria. This thing I'm giving you is for the cities of Israel." Hallelujah. Don't go to Samaria. Then he died. He rose from the dead. He called the disciples, said, "Come. You must wait in Jerusalem until the power of the Holy Ghost comes upon after he comes." He says, "You must study in Jerusalem. Now you can go to Samaria, Judea, and to the rest of the world." So they didn't go. When they didn't go, he took one man rising against them, and he scattered them. Saul of Tarsus. He scattered all of them. One of them went, he, he used to save food and the tables. Oh, glory to God. Faithfulness in small things. His name was Philip. He will go to give birth to four girls that will understand their assignment and the fact that you don't have to get married if you don't want to. So they were firebrand prophets that understood what Samson should have been. These are the four girls, the daughters of Philip. Man, they were sharp. Very sharp. And they helped their dad. So when he went to Samaria and he was casting out spirits, remember the Bible says they were coming out of crying. Crying means they were saying a lot of things, right? So one of the things they were talking about, they were talking about Ashdod. At that time, Ashdod was called Azotus. Azotus is Ashdod. Ah, you didn't hear. Azotus is the Greek word for Ashdod. So they speak and speak. Azotus. As he's casting out the spirits, he found out that now the custodian of those spirits in Samaria is Simon, who joined him. And he took apostles to come and see this man is wicked. He's a harvester of spirits. So the Spirit of God said, "I didn't forget what Ashdod did to my son Samson." So that's why the Bible says the angel of the Lord. Which one? Which angel came to Philip? Which angel? The same one who came to Manoah's wife and Manoah. He came and said, "Philip, go down the way of Gaza, where my own died." Doesn't tell him why. And he goes. This time he walks down. And if you check the map from where Philip was in Samaria, when you go to Gaza, do you know where you pass? You pass through the valley of Sorek, where Delilah comes from. And that valley had a river, a stream. Did you hear? Mhm. The valley of Sorek had a stream. It was a valley that had a river, and it had vineyards. So it goes, going down to the way of Gaza. So when he gets to some of that territory, he is a man reading. Man is reading the mighty prophet. If you read him, you must find yourself. Reading Isaiah. And the Spirit of God there, it's a combination of two. He was sent by an angel. When he got there, the spirit said, "Go close to him." A combination of what? Two. In the life of Samson, it was two. An angel came and announced, and the spirit started to move him. Two combination, angel and the Spirit of God working. Then in the life of Samson, and now in the life of Philip, because the error must be corrected. So the, the angel sent him, and the spirit says, "Go close." So he goes close. He asks him, "Do you understand what you are reading?" This is, I don't want, I want somebody to explain to me. This Isaiah, was he talking about himself or somebody else? I'm, I'm going to paraphrase. Philip started the Bible says he started there, said, "No, look, Isaiah when he spoke, he spoke about all of us. If you read, you have to find yourself." So he was also talking about you. Amen. And the Bible says he started from the same scripture and expounded about Christ Jesus. Ah, then they came somewhere to the waters that were part of the coordinating attack against Samson, and that man said, "What stops me from being baptized here?" And the spirit said, "Put him." When you do, we are destroying what's inside here, which has been troubling people in Samaria, and has been troubling people since the time of Samson. So he took him, he put him inside the water. When he comes out, whatever was in that water was destroyed and disarmed there and there. There was a deliverance for that body of water there where he baptized him. When he comes out, something happened. He experienced, because this is the same territory where the young man used to teleport. Immediately he comes out, he's picked up. He has never experienced this in his life. Philip, he comes out of the water, the next thing he's in Ashdod. Ashdod, at that time, it's called what are. What are you doing here, Philip? In Azotus. He was there to destroy the center that was coordinating the attack against the man of God, Samson. Glory. When he destroyed that thing, read your Bible, you will see he came out of there rejoicing. Let's go there to the book of Acts and I wrap up as the end of it. In Acts chapter 8. Glory to God. [Music] Now, God doesn't end on the negative, does it? Acts 8:26. "And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot, read Isaiah the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?" So we're going to skip there. I know you read this one. Verse 36. "As they went on their way, they came unto a certain water." This is not just water. It's Satan water. This water, we know what it did. "And the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water." They went into the water with Philip, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. "And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus." And it was not by mistake. He was found where he was supposed to do in Azotus, and passing through preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea. Blessed be the name of the Lord. He went to destroy what had arrested and frustrated the glory of God in the life of Samson. From that moment, the revival that hit everyone who was captured by that center, because that center thought it was untouchable. The Ashdod center responsible for pastor's distribution, and said, "We are honoring this center because it got it caught the big fish." Philip went by the Spirit of God, and these things were written for our benefit. Amen. They were recorded for our learning, and to whom these things come to pass in our day and age. Let us pray. Our Father, we are so grateful. Thank you that you do not forget the deeds, the works that darkness has done unto your people. You record them that they may be corrected. Thank you that in our day and age, we are privileged to witness the correction of ancient errors. Ancient errors in our lives, in the lives of our people, and we give you the glory for it. Thank you. Thank you. We have seen you correct errors the past weeks, months, and years, particularly what you have shown us the last few months. And we are grateful. And thank you that even now, by the teaching of this word, by the light of this word, every error, historical, ancient, is under notice for correction. And we give you the glory for it. All glory, all glory to God. And we say like the seraph, the seraphim that declare, "The whole earth is full of His glory." Father, we thank you that Your glory is being restored and being reconciled, and it shall not be found wanting. For all the glory will come back where it belongs. And we say, glory, glory, glory to God in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Thank you for your time. Yes, I knew it was long, but thank you for staying with us this long. It was worth it. I believe I needed to deliver it to the very end. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.

So certainly looking forward to meeting all of you and looking forward to seeing the continuation of the work of the Spirit of God in our lives. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Read Ezekiel 27:28. God bless you. Let us take the grace. Surely, surely goodness and mercies shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever and ever. They're covered by the blood of Jesus, and by the power of the Holy Ghost, and by the grace of God in Jesus' name. Thank you. Thank you. Shalom. Shalom. God bless you. I feel like you are.

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Great wings, carrier, you fight in the princes for you. The rock of ages, he crosses those who go against you. His name is saving, as powerful as you are. My provider, my only good way. Yahweh, my God, save me from pain. Yeah. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. You are, you are. [Music] My brother? [Music] I feel the need. Some hero. [Music]
