A Daily Dose of Inspiration...30-minute Uplift

[00:00:02] Alright guys, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, hopefully

[00:00:08] We have got everything under control here, I don't know what's going on with StreamYard

[00:00:17] It may not even be StreamYard, it may be the weather out here, it's a little dry, a little dreary out here

[00:00:23] I don't know what's going on, but we gonna mosey on through, I don't know

[00:00:28] I didn't see where it recorded the first time, I'm not gonna go back through our prayer

[00:00:34] But what I will say to you guys is, count it all joy

[00:00:39] You know, I was in my word yesterday, I was in my bag, I was in my bag

[00:00:47] And my bishop, he has been preaching on this for some time these last couple of weeks

[00:00:56] And what he preached about yesterday is, he talked about for us to count it all joyous

[00:01:07] And you know, we sometimes, we miss that

[00:01:12] Especially if we're going through some trials and some tribulations

[00:01:17] And I'll tell you what, that was right on time for me

[00:01:21] Simply because I was in Galatians

[00:01:29] Verse 5, chapter 22

[00:01:31] My Bible just fell open

[00:01:36] And I began to read it

[00:01:37] And for some reason, this specific passage has been coming to my attention

[00:01:46] For the last week or so

[00:01:48] Every time my Bible opens up

[00:01:52] It opens up

[00:01:54] To Galatians

[00:01:57] Chapter 5, verse 22

[00:02:01] And Galatians chapter 5, verse 22

[00:02:05] A little fruit for your thought

[00:02:07] It said

[00:02:09] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering

[00:02:15] Gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance

[00:02:19] Against such there is no law

[00:02:23] And I got to think about that and I wrote some notes

[00:02:26] And it began to talk about how we shouldn't strife with one another

[00:02:31] But love one another

[00:02:33] Don't live in our flesh

[00:02:36] Serve one another, love each other as we love ourselves

[00:02:43] It also began to talk about how we should be mindful of the flesh

[00:02:50] Don't be letting our flesh overtake

[00:02:57] The Spirit

[00:03:00] But work out the renewed you

[00:03:03] The new you

[00:03:07] The one that when you accepted God into your life

[00:03:14] As your Lord and Savior

[00:03:17] Renewed you

[00:03:18] That new spirit

[00:03:21] The Holy Spirit

[00:03:22] That's walking with you

[00:03:24] It also started to remind me

[00:03:29] That we constantly battle

[00:03:35] Against our flesh

[00:03:37] But we don't want to fulfill

[00:03:41] The lust

[00:03:42] Of our flesh

[00:03:46] But we need to be fruitful

[00:03:53] Embrace the Holy Spirit

[00:03:55] Allow Him to teach us

[00:04:00] Delight constantly

[00:04:02] In the Lord

[00:04:06] Bring all good things

[00:04:09] To people around us

[00:04:12] All things good to us

[00:04:14] And have that faith

[00:04:21] That we constantly

[00:04:23] Profess with our mouths

[00:04:25] And when he started to talk about the meekness

[00:04:32] Not being easily provoked

[00:04:38] Keeping our tempers even

[00:04:41] Even in

[00:04:44] When we're dealing with other people

[00:04:49] And he says

[00:04:54] This is not

[00:04:56] Under the law

[00:04:57] But it's under

[00:05:00] Grace

[00:05:01] Led by the Holy

[00:05:05] Spirit

[00:05:06] And I am grateful today

[00:05:11] That I'm able to say

[00:05:16] That in my actions

[00:05:18] I thank God for grace

[00:05:23] And I thank God

[00:05:24] For mercy

[00:05:25] I thank God

[00:05:29] That he's still

[00:05:30] Sitting in that seat

[00:05:34] Of mercy

[00:05:35] And for me

[00:05:38] I don't know about you guys

[00:05:39] But

[00:05:40] I'm hoping

[00:05:41] That

[00:05:43] It's gonna be a long time

[00:05:49] Before he gets into that seat of judgment

[00:05:51] But I know that he's on the way

[00:05:54] That

[00:05:55] I am sure of

[00:05:57] That he is on the way

[00:05:59] So guys

[00:06:00] Let's get into

[00:06:02] This word of the day

[00:06:04] Let's get into this word of the day

[00:06:07] For those of you that are just joining us

[00:06:35] But

[00:06:36] Guys

[00:06:37] I wanna talk about this morning

[00:06:41] For a little bit

[00:06:43] I wanna go into

[00:06:45] What we just got out of

[00:06:47] Judges

[00:06:48] Chapter 14

[00:06:49] We entered into

[00:06:56] Another judge coming upon the scene

[00:06:58] Which happens to be

[00:07:01] Samson

[00:07:02] And Samson is very unusual

[00:07:04] He's one of those unusual judges

[00:07:08] And I have to say

[00:07:11] As I was reading it

[00:07:13] I have to tell you

[00:07:14] I was reading it

[00:07:15] Out of my King James on yesterday

[00:07:18] Uh

[00:07:19] Then last night

[00:07:20] I wanted to go back

[00:07:21] And read it

[00:07:22] Out of my new King James

[00:07:24] And after I had taken

[00:07:26] All these notes guys

[00:07:28] Out of my good old

[00:07:29] Matthew Henry

[00:07:32] When I read it

[00:07:33] Out of my new King James

[00:07:35] It just

[00:07:36] Made

[00:07:38] So

[00:07:38] Much

[00:07:40] More sense

[00:07:42] Not that it didn't make sense

[00:07:43] Before

[00:07:45] But

[00:07:49] You know

[00:07:49] The new King James

[00:07:50] It takes out of

[00:07:52] Some of the thus

[00:07:53] The thou's

[00:07:54] And the these

[00:07:55] And we don't talk like that

[00:07:56] No more

[00:07:57] Uh

[00:07:58] Shouts

[00:07:59] And all that

[00:08:00] Where we say

[00:08:01] Shell

[00:08:02] It'll say

[00:08:02] Shelt

[00:08:03] Not

[00:08:03] Or

[00:08:04] Something of that nature

[00:08:05] But I love reading out of my King James

[00:08:07] Simply because

[00:08:08] I feel like

[00:08:09] Some of these new versions

[00:08:10] The NIV

[00:08:12] Uh

[00:08:13] The new King James

[00:08:15] They leave out

[00:08:17] A lot of important words

[00:08:18] That's just

[00:08:19] How

[00:08:20] I

[00:08:21] Uh

[00:08:21] Look at it

[00:08:22] That's my perspective

[00:08:24] On it

[00:08:25] And uh

[00:08:27] But when I got to reading

[00:08:29] Out of

[00:08:30] My new King James

[00:08:32] Last night

[00:08:32] It read

[00:08:33] With so much sense

[00:08:39] That um

[00:08:41] I thought

[00:08:42] I'm not gonna read out of my King James today

[00:08:44] I'm gonna be reading out of my new King James

[00:08:47] So I thank you guys for joining us

[00:08:49] Those of you that are new to this show

[00:08:52] Uh

[00:08:52] We are not new to this

[00:08:54] We're going on our third year

[00:08:56] In podcasting

[00:08:57] We are new to the YouTube space

[00:08:59] We've been here for about a year

[00:09:00] And we just read

[00:09:01] Read

[00:09:02] We do a reading of God's word

[00:09:04] And I try to break it down with my thoughts

[00:09:07] Uh

[00:09:07] I go to

[00:09:08] Some of my nifty

[00:09:10] Go-tos

[00:09:11] Which would be the Matthew Henry

[00:09:12] Or

[00:09:13] It would be the Tony Evans

[00:09:15] And

[00:09:16] I get an understanding

[00:09:17] And I try to bring you guys an understanding

[00:09:19] But first and foremost

[00:09:21] I want you to know

[00:09:22] To meditate on God's word yourself

[00:09:24] Read it for yourself

[00:09:27] Establish a relationship

[00:09:28] With him

[00:09:29] For yourself

[00:09:32] And that way

[00:09:33] He can come along

[00:09:35] And he can provide

[00:09:37] The insight

[00:09:39] That you need

[00:09:40] He'll give you that wisdom

[00:09:42] That understanding

[00:09:43] He did leave

[00:09:45] But leave all of us

[00:09:46] That are saved

[00:09:48] Behind

[00:09:49] The ever-present helper

[00:09:51] Which is the Holy Spirit

[00:09:52] Living deep down in the side of you

[00:09:55] And he's just waiting

[00:09:57] For you to ask him

[00:10:01] Anything that you need

[00:10:02] To know

[00:10:03] So let's get into the word

[00:10:05] The book of Judges

[00:10:07] We're gonna be reading

[00:10:08] Um

[00:10:11] Chapter 14

[00:10:14] No

[00:10:15] Chapter 15

[00:10:16] I'm sorry

[00:10:17] We came out of chapter

[00:10:17] 14

[00:10:18] On last week

[00:10:20] On last Friday

[00:10:21] And basically

[00:10:23] Just for a quick recap

[00:10:25] Uh

[00:10:25] Samson went down

[00:10:27] To Tim and Nath

[00:10:28] And he saw a woman

[00:10:29] Um

[00:10:30] Of the daughters

[00:10:31] Of Philistine

[00:10:32] And he went back

[00:10:33] To his father

[00:10:33] And his mother

[00:10:34] And he said

[00:10:35] I want

[00:10:35] That woman

[00:10:36] And uh

[00:10:37] His parents

[00:10:39] Said you know

[00:10:40] Uh

[00:10:40] Why you going

[00:10:41] To the outside

[00:10:42] The inhabitants

[00:10:43] We know

[00:10:43] The Philistines

[00:10:44] Is not a part

[00:10:45] Of the Israelite

[00:10:46] Camp

[00:10:46] They are actually

[00:10:47] A part of

[00:10:48] Several

[00:10:49] Several

[00:10:49] Different

[00:10:50] Inhabitants

[00:10:51] That God

[00:10:52] Has told them

[00:10:53] Long time ago

[00:10:54] To run out

[00:10:55] Of the land

[00:10:56] That he was giving them

[00:10:58] The land

[00:10:58] Overflown with milk

[00:10:59] And honey

[00:11:00] With the big grapes

[00:11:01] And the figs

[00:11:02] And all that good stuff

[00:11:04] The water

[00:11:04] And the green grass

[00:11:06] And they

[00:11:07] Went on

[00:11:08] Generation after generation

[00:11:09] And they were doing

[00:11:11] Their own thing

[00:11:12] That sums it up

[00:11:14] In a nutshell

[00:11:14] They started

[00:11:15] Serving other gods

[00:11:16] Start intertwining

[00:11:18] Start marrying

[00:11:19] Like we see Samson

[00:11:20] Requesting to do

[00:11:22] In chapter 14

[00:11:24] Um

[00:11:25] And in his doing so

[00:11:27] Uh

[00:11:28] I kind of want to say

[00:11:29] Samson's a little bit

[00:11:30] Of a

[00:11:30] A jubile person

[00:11:32] He's a little bit

[00:11:32] Of a

[00:11:33] Um

[00:11:35] I wouldn't quite say

[00:11:36] Jokester

[00:11:37] But I would say

[00:11:38] Uh

[00:11:40] Fun

[00:11:41] Fun

[00:11:43] A mystery

[00:11:44] Because he throws out

[00:11:46] This riddle

[00:11:47] As it was their

[00:11:48] Custom

[00:11:50] For seven days

[00:11:51] To feast

[00:11:52] Before the wedding

[00:11:54] I think it's

[00:11:55] Before the wedding

[00:11:55] Or after the wedding

[00:11:56] Don't quote me on that

[00:11:57] Go look that up

[00:11:58] For yourself

[00:11:59] Because I'm not

[00:11:59] Remembering

[00:12:00] Um

[00:12:02] And he throws out

[00:12:03] This joke

[00:12:03] Because he had

[00:12:05] Taken down

[00:12:08] A lion

[00:12:10] And

[00:12:10] After he had

[00:12:13] Taken down

[00:12:14] This young lion

[00:12:16] When the spirit

[00:12:17] Of the lord

[00:12:17] Came on

[00:12:18] Came on

[00:12:19] To him

[00:12:22] As it went

[00:12:23] After some time

[00:12:24] Apparently

[00:12:26] Some bees

[00:12:28] Made a nest

[00:12:29] In the carcass

[00:12:32] Of the lion

[00:12:33] And

[00:12:36] Of course

[00:12:37] Bees make honey

[00:12:39] And

[00:12:42] Samson

[00:12:42] Ate of the honey

[00:12:43] Took some back

[00:12:45] To his parents

[00:12:45] Although

[00:12:46] He really wasn't

[00:12:50] Supposed to

[00:12:50] I would say

[00:12:52] But I don't

[00:12:53] Want to go down

[00:12:53] That rabbit hole

[00:12:54] For the sake

[00:12:55] Of time

[00:12:55] But

[00:12:56] Um

[00:12:58] He told this

[00:12:59] Riddle

[00:13:00] And the riddle

[00:13:01] Was

[00:13:01] Out of

[00:13:03] Out of

[00:13:04] The eater

[00:13:04] Came something

[00:13:05] To eat

[00:13:06] And out of

[00:13:08] The strong

[00:13:08] Came something

[00:13:09] Sweet

[00:13:10] And he posed

[00:13:11] This riddle

[00:13:12] And he told

[00:13:12] The men

[00:13:14] His companions

[00:13:16] That if they

[00:13:17] Could get the

[00:13:17] Riddle right

[00:13:18] It was kind of

[00:13:19] Like a wage

[00:13:20] Or a bet

[00:13:21] And

[00:13:22] For the sake

[00:13:23] Of them

[00:13:23] They didn't

[00:13:24] Know what

[00:13:24] He was talking

[00:13:24] About

[00:13:24] Nobody really

[00:13:25] Knew what

[00:13:25] He was talking

[00:13:26] About

[00:13:26] Because

[00:13:27] He didn't

[00:13:27] Even tell

[00:13:28] His parents

[00:13:30] And

[00:13:33] So

[00:13:35] The woman

[00:13:36] That

[00:13:36] He married

[00:13:39] The men

[00:13:40] Hounded her

[00:13:41] To get the

[00:13:42] Answer

[00:13:43] Out of

[00:13:44] Samson

[00:13:44] And by the

[00:13:47] Time the

[00:13:48] Seventh day

[00:13:48] Approached

[00:13:50] She had

[00:13:51] Whined

[00:13:52] And cried

[00:13:52] And

[00:13:53] Do what

[00:13:54] We do

[00:13:54] As women

[00:13:54] You know

[00:13:55] You know

[00:13:56] In this

[00:13:57] Day and

[00:13:57] Time

[00:13:57] We get

[00:13:57] Pretty

[00:14:01] And

[00:14:03] She got

[00:14:04] The answer

[00:14:04] Out of

[00:14:05] Him

[00:14:06] And she

[00:14:06] Went back

[00:14:07] And told

[00:14:07] Her fellow

[00:14:10] Camp

[00:14:11] After all

[00:14:12] She's a

[00:14:12] Philistine

[00:14:13] They are

[00:14:13] Philistines

[00:14:15] And they

[00:14:16] Had the

[00:14:16] Answer

[00:14:16] So he

[00:14:17] Had to

[00:14:17] Pay this

[00:14:18] Wager

[00:14:19] In anger

[00:14:21] He went

[00:14:21] Down and

[00:14:22] Slew

[00:14:22] Some other

[00:14:23] Philistine

[00:14:24] Men

[00:14:25] Came back

[00:14:26] Paid the

[00:14:26] Wager

[00:14:27] But he

[00:14:27] Said to

[00:14:28] Them

[00:14:28] You

[00:14:28] Wouldn't

[00:14:29] Have

[00:14:29] Known

[00:14:29] The

[00:14:29] Answer

[00:14:31] Had you

[00:14:31] Not

[00:14:32] Went to

[00:14:33] My

[00:14:33] Heifer

[00:14:35] And they

[00:14:35] Pretty much

[00:14:36] Had threatened

[00:14:37] Her

[00:14:37] To burn

[00:14:38] Down her

[00:14:38] House

[00:14:39] Her

[00:14:39] Father's

[00:14:40] House

[00:14:41] Burn

[00:14:41] Down her

[00:14:42] Father's

[00:14:42] House

[00:14:42] Which we

[00:14:44] Would say

[00:14:44] Is their

[00:15:41] We're

[00:15:42] Out of

[00:15:44] Our

[00:15:45] James

[00:15:48] Judges

[00:15:48] Chapter

[00:15:48] 15

[00:15:50] After a

[00:15:51] While

[00:15:52] In the

[00:15:53] Time of

[00:15:53] Wheat

[00:15:53] Harvest

[00:15:54] It

[00:15:55] Happened

[00:15:55] That

[00:15:55] Samson

[00:15:56] Visited

[00:15:56] His

[00:15:56] Wife

[00:15:57] With

[00:15:57] A

[00:15:57] Young

[00:15:58] Goat

[00:15:58] And

[00:15:59] He

[00:15:59] Said

[00:16:00] Let

[00:16:01] Me

[00:16:01] Go

[00:16:01] Into

[00:16:02] My

[00:16:02] Wife

[00:16:02] And

[00:16:03] Into

[00:16:03] Her

[00:16:03] Room

[00:16:03] But

[00:16:04] Her

[00:16:04] Father

[00:16:04] Would

[00:16:05] Not

[00:16:05] Permit

[00:16:05] Him

[00:16:05] To

[00:16:06] Go

[00:16:06] In

[00:16:06] Her

[00:16:07] Father

[00:16:07] Said

[00:16:08] I

[00:16:08] Really

[00:16:09] Thought

[00:16:13] That

[00:16:13] You

[00:16:15] Thoroughly

[00:16:15] Hated

[00:16:16] Her

[00:16:16] Therefore

[00:16:17] I

[00:16:18] Gave

[00:16:18] Her

[00:16:18] To

[00:16:18] Your

[00:16:18] Companion

[00:16:19] Is

[00:16:20] Not

[00:16:20] Her

[00:16:20] Youngest

[00:16:21] Sister

[00:16:21] Better

[00:16:22] Than

[00:16:25] She

[00:16:27] Please

[00:16:28] Take

[00:16:28] Her

[00:16:28] Instead

[00:16:29] And

[00:16:29] Samson

[00:16:30] Said

[00:16:30] To

[00:16:30] Them

[00:16:32] This

[00:16:32] Time

[00:16:33] I

[00:16:33] Shall

[00:16:34] Be

[00:16:34] Blameless

[00:16:34] Regarding

[00:16:35] The

[00:16:36] Philistines

[00:16:36] If

[00:16:37] I

[00:16:37] Harm

[00:16:38] Them

[00:16:38] So

[00:16:39] He

[00:16:39] Said

[00:16:39] This

[00:16:39] In

[00:16:40] His

[00:16:41] Anger

[00:16:42] Then

[00:16:43] Samson

[00:16:44] Went

[00:16:44] And

[00:16:45] Caught

[00:16:45] Three

[00:16:46] Hundred

[00:16:47] Foxes

[00:16:48] And

[00:16:49] He

[00:16:49] Took

[00:16:49] Torches

[00:16:50] Turned

[00:16:51] The

[00:16:51] Foxes

[00:16:51] Tail

[00:16:51] To

[00:16:52] Tail

[00:16:52] And

[00:16:53] Put

[00:16:53] A

[00:16:53] Torch

[00:16:54] Between

[00:16:54] Each

[00:16:54] Pair

[00:16:55] Of

[00:16:56] Tails

[00:16:58] When

[00:16:58] He

[00:16:58] Had

[00:16:59] Set

[00:16:59] The

[00:16:59] Torches

[00:16:59] On

[00:17:00] Fire

[00:17:00] He

[00:17:00] Led

[00:17:01] The

[00:17:01] Foxes

[00:17:02] He

[00:17:03] Let

[00:17:03] The

[00:17:03] Foxes

[00:17:04] Go

[00:17:04] Into

[00:17:05] The

[00:17:05] Standing

[00:17:05] Grain

[00:17:06] Of

[00:17:07] The

[00:17:07] Philistines

[00:17:07] And

[00:17:08] Burn

[00:17:08] Up

[00:17:08] Both

[00:17:08] The

[00:17:09] Shocks

[00:17:09] And

[00:17:10] The

[00:17:10] Standing

[00:17:10] Grain

[00:17:11] As

[00:17:12] Well

[00:17:12] As

[00:17:12] The

[00:17:13] Vineyards

[00:17:13] And

[00:17:14] The

[00:17:14] Olive

[00:17:15] Groves

[00:17:15] Then

[00:17:17] The

[00:17:17] Philistines

[00:17:17] Said

[00:17:18] Who

[00:17:19] Has

[00:17:19] Done

[00:17:19] This

[00:17:20] And

[00:17:21] They

[00:17:21] Answer

[00:17:21] Samson

[00:17:22] The

[00:17:23] Son

[00:17:23] In-law

[00:17:23] Of

[00:17:24] The

[00:17:24] Timonite

[00:17:25] Because

[00:17:26] He

[00:17:26] Has

[00:17:26] Taken

[00:17:27] His

[00:17:28] Wife

[00:17:28] And

[00:17:29] Given

[00:17:29] Her

[00:17:29] To

[00:17:29] His

[00:17:29] Companion

[00:17:30] So

[00:17:30] The

[00:17:31] Philistines

[00:17:31] Came

[00:17:31] Up

[00:17:32] And

[00:17:33] Burned

[00:17:33] Her

[00:17:33] And

[00:17:34] Her

[00:17:34] Father

[00:17:35] With

[00:17:35] Fire

[00:17:37] So

[00:17:37] We

[00:17:37] See

[00:17:38] Here

[00:17:39] They

[00:17:39] Get

[00:17:39] To

[00:17:40] Do

[00:17:40] What

[00:17:40] They

[00:17:40] Said

[00:17:40] They

[00:17:40] Was

[00:17:41] Gonna

[00:17:41] Do

[00:17:42] After

[00:17:42] All

[00:17:44] Samson

[00:17:45] Said

[00:17:45] To

[00:17:45] Them

[00:17:47] Since

[00:17:48] You

[00:17:48] Would

[00:17:48] Do

[00:17:48] A

[00:17:48] Thing

[00:17:49] Like

[00:17:49] This

[00:17:49] I

[00:17:50] Will

[00:17:50] Surely

[00:17:50] Take

[00:17:50] Revenge

[00:17:51] On

[00:18:27] With

[00:18:36] He

[00:19:00] Has

[00:19:02] We have come down to arrest you, that we may deliver you into the hands of the Philistines.

[00:19:08] Then Samson said to them, swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.

[00:19:17] So they spoke to him, saying, no, but we will tie you securely and deliver you into their hands.

[00:19:27] But we surely will not kill you.

[00:19:32] And they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.

[00:19:38] When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him.

[00:19:42] Then the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him.

[00:19:45] And the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire.

[00:19:52] And his bonds broke loose from his hands.

[00:19:57] He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it and killed a thousand men with it.

[00:20:07] Then Samson said, with the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey, I have slain a thousand men.

[00:20:20] And so it was when he had finished speaking that he threw the jawbone from his hand and called the place Ramath Lehi.

[00:20:32] Then he became very thirsty.

[00:20:34] So he cried out to the Lord and said, you have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant.

[00:20:42] And now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

[00:20:50] So God split the hollow place that is in Lehi and water came and he drank and his spirit returned and he revived.

[00:21:02] Therefore, he called its name E-ha-Korah, which is in Lehi to this day.

[00:21:12] And I may have pronounced that wrong too.

[00:21:15] Charge it to my head and not my heart, guys.

[00:21:17] And he judged Israel 20 years in the days of the Philistines.

[00:21:26] So after he ran on back to his parents' house, we see that he returned and he was looking for his wife.

[00:21:46] But Lord behold, they had already, his father had already gave her to the companion and, you know,

[00:21:54] he said, take the younger daughter.

[00:21:59] Samson knew better of this.

[00:22:02] And it tells us all about this.

[00:22:04] And I know I wrote it down in my note yesterday as I was going through it over in, I believe it's Deuteronomy.

[00:22:16] That he's already married to the sister.

[00:22:20] So to take in the baby sister.

[00:22:27] Now it's not Deuteronomy, it's Leviticus 18, 18.

[00:22:34] That there shall not take a wife to her sister to vex her or to uncover her neckness besides the other in her lifetime.

[00:22:48] So when he returned to his wife with the kid, which was a young goat, as a token of reconciling with her,

[00:22:59] he finds out that a father had offered her to another.

[00:23:02] So Samson, he begins to take his revenge.

[00:23:13] Being a public, I say, figure for the Israelites, the judge that God is using right now to come onto the scene to help out the Israelites.

[00:23:29] He takes offense.

[00:23:32] So what does he do?

[00:23:33] He burns down their cornfields.

[00:23:38] And I want to read it just like how I put it in my notes, guys.

[00:23:42] So he takes a couple of foxes, 150 to be exacts.

[00:23:48] Ties them tail to tail.

[00:23:51] Go into the cornfields.

[00:23:53] And have them run into the cornfields after he sticks them with fire.

[00:24:01] Like he has this stick, I'm believing, which it says,

[00:24:05] ties them tail for tail.

[00:24:07] And of course, them being scared.

[00:24:11] I mean, they got fire on their tails, I can imagine.

[00:24:14] I mean, my mind just kind of went wild with that one yesterday.

[00:24:19] Just trying to imagine what it looked like.

[00:24:23] And my commentary was saying as I went over there that this was pretty, this was pretty ruthless, kind of real distasteful thing to do.

[00:24:43] But it was harvest season.

[00:24:45] So as the foxes ran, they burnt down from everything from the cut corn, the standing stalk, the vineyards and the olive trees.

[00:24:56] The outrage of the philistines was not something that they hid.

[00:25:08] Samson thought that maybe this would get him his revenge.

[00:25:23] And possibly, the way I was reading it, that they would back up off of him.

[00:25:31] You know, sometimes we can do some things or say some things in our lives hoping that they'll stop somebody in their tracks, I would say.

[00:25:39] But they didn't take kindly to this.

[00:25:43] So they went and did the very thing that they had promised his wife that they were going to do to her and her pops anyway.

[00:25:53] They burnt down their house, which kindled Samson even more.

[00:25:59] After all, he was the spokesperson for them at that time.

[00:26:05] So he violently struck the philistines with a mighty blow.

[00:26:13] And it says hip, hip to jawbone, not hip to jawbone.

[00:26:22] Lord, forgive me.

[00:26:27] Hip, yeah.

[00:26:28] Hip, bone to hip.

[00:26:30] I got it wrong.

[00:26:31] Bone to hip.

[00:26:32] Sparing no one.

[00:26:34] So as we read, he struck them with a mighty blow.

[00:26:39] He killed a thousand.

[00:26:42] And when he was finished, he was hoping.

[00:26:51] My commentary says he was hoping that they would learn a lesson or would they retaliate.

[00:27:01] Well, we found out that they pursued him.

[00:27:05] He went down to Judea.

[00:27:08] Judah.

[00:27:10] And the whole army set in after.

[00:27:15] After him.

[00:27:17] Then the people of Judah, they said, you know, Samson, what have you done?

[00:27:25] Don't you know that the philistines rule over us?

[00:27:28] Which blew my mind.

[00:27:31] Because we're all Israelites.

[00:27:34] So as I went on doing my little investigation, it said that perhaps, maybe it was because he was of the tribe of the dead knight.

[00:27:50] Maybe it was jealousy.

[00:27:52] Maybe it was pride.

[00:27:53] Who knows?

[00:27:56] And I put a little note there.

[00:27:58] Because we often see this in our lives.

[00:28:01] We often see people in our lives get jealous.

[00:28:09] We often see it whether we're in church or out of church.

[00:28:14] And I'm just framing it that way because, you know, this is a faith-based podcast.

[00:28:19] And we are talking about the word of God.

[00:28:22] But I've seen it countless times in the church.

[00:28:25] Jealousy.

[00:28:27] Backbiting.

[00:28:28] Gossip.

[00:28:30] Trying to one-up someone.

[00:28:34] Wanting to be seen.

[00:28:37] And it's not all good.

[00:28:39] So it offered the explanation of, if they're all brothers, then why were they threatened?

[00:28:52] Because after all, Samson was sent to save them from the philistines.

[00:29:01] They've been oppressed by them for 40 years.

[00:29:04] So I would think that I would try to hide my boy or help him out.

[00:29:11] One, I mean, there really wasn't no hiding Samson.

[00:29:14] He was a nightmare, I would say.

[00:29:17] But in a good way.

[00:29:19] In a good way.

[00:29:21] God had provided him with the strength.

[00:29:23] He was mighty.

[00:29:25] He didn't mind going to war.

[00:29:29] So in a good way.

[00:29:32] He didn't mind.

[00:29:34] He didn't back down.

[00:29:37] But Judah, they weren't grateful.

[00:29:42] And they bind him.

[00:29:46] And they took him to the philistines.

[00:29:49] And my commentary said, Samson allowed them to bound him.

[00:30:03] And he did this with patience.

[00:30:06] Mixed with a little bit of meekness.

[00:30:09] Great strength and courage.

[00:30:13] And it said that he knew how to yield.

[00:30:16] And steal, conquer.

[00:30:19] And I thought about that too.

[00:30:23] As we should all strive to do.

[00:30:28] I know that I've had my times where I didn't yield to my adversary.

[00:30:37] I let my flesh get the best of me.

[00:30:43] And instead of yielding, I got mouthy.

[00:30:47] But I thank the Lord today that in this season,

[00:30:52] of all the lessons that he's teaching me,

[00:30:55] he's teaching me to keep my mouth shut in certain circumstances.

[00:31:05] But when they came up against him,

[00:31:09] that mink spirit kind of got pushed out of the way.

[00:31:16] It said they was shouting at him.

[00:31:21] Probably ready to go to war.

[00:31:23] Probably filled with anger.

[00:31:24] I know I would have been if you burned down my cornfields and my vineyards.

[00:31:32] And they said with great strength,

[00:31:35] he broke the cords.

[00:31:37] And the spirit of the Lord fell upon him.

[00:31:45] And by the power of the Holy Spirit,

[00:31:49] and with a jawbone,

[00:31:51] he defeated a thousand men.

[00:31:57] And I love that fact.

[00:31:59] As I was reading it,

[00:32:03] they said when the Lord fell upon him,

[00:32:08] and in quotations they had,

[00:32:10] who the son sets free is free indeed.

[00:32:13] And I love that too.

[00:32:14] Because I'm always saying that.

[00:32:16] God,

[00:32:16] who the son sets free,

[00:32:18] we are free indeed.

[00:32:20] It is free will to turn your life over to God.

[00:32:24] But when the Holy Spirit falls upon you,

[00:32:27] gives you that courage,

[00:32:28] helps strengthen you,

[00:32:30] give you that boldness,

[00:32:35] ain't nothing you can do to stop what God's trying to do,

[00:32:38] what he's trying to use you for.

[00:32:40] But,

[00:32:43] Samson forgot this.

[00:32:45] And all his boasting as he made his song and celebrated himself.

[00:32:52] Because, of course,

[00:32:53] the men of Judah wasn't celebrating with him.

[00:32:56] They was too fearful of the Philistines,

[00:32:58] which still bogs my mind.

[00:33:02] Because after all,

[00:33:04] he was the judge that God was using,

[00:33:07] the one that God was using to help free them.

[00:33:12] Maybe they just didn't know it at the time.

[00:33:15] Maybe they didn't recognize his strength.

[00:33:20] But as we could say,

[00:33:22] and I could imagine Samson said,

[00:33:25] you're going to learn today.

[00:33:30] But as he celebrated himself,

[00:33:33] and after he came out of this horrific fight,

[00:33:41] and defeated the Philistines,

[00:33:43] a thousand of them,

[00:33:44] he was thirsty.

[00:33:48] And he asked God,

[00:33:52] after you use me to deliver,

[00:33:55] to defeat these people,

[00:33:57] and help deliver me,

[00:34:00] and I guess I would say the Israelites,

[00:34:03] are you going to let me die first?

[00:34:06] So he prayed unto God.

[00:34:09] But my commentary made a note here,

[00:34:11] and it said,

[00:34:12] maybe because of his boastfulness,

[00:34:17] that he said,

[00:34:19] I slayed a thousand men.

[00:34:25] And we have to be careful,

[00:34:28] because we get so excited.

[00:34:30] So I'm going to do,

[00:34:34] what I would like for people to do for me,

[00:34:36] and give Samson a big benefit of the thought.

[00:34:39] In the moment of triumph or victory,

[00:34:42] sometimes we can get boastful,

[00:34:45] about our accomplishments,

[00:34:48] and forget that God,

[00:34:50] is the one that had his hands in it.

[00:34:53] That he's the one,

[00:34:55] that brought you out on top.

[00:34:59] That he's the one that gets the victory.

[00:35:02] You don't get no receipts in that.

[00:35:05] In his tinty,

[00:35:07] bitsy moment of weakness,

[00:35:10] he celebrated himself,

[00:35:12] and he should have been celebrating God,

[00:35:14] as we all should be celebrating,

[00:35:16] our Lord and Savior,

[00:35:18] Jesus Christ,

[00:35:19] especially when he brings us out of something,

[00:35:21] through something,

[00:35:23] because his grace and mercy,

[00:35:25] is sufficient every single day.

[00:35:29] And I also note it,

[00:35:32] and I put a note here,

[00:35:35] that we always end up praying,

[00:35:40] after the fact.

[00:35:43] When we settle down,

[00:35:45] and realize that it wasn't us,

[00:35:48] but it was actually God.

[00:35:50] Our Lord and Savior,

[00:35:51] Jesus Christ,

[00:35:52] that brought us through something,

[00:35:54] that interceded on our behalf.

[00:35:59] We usually end up going to him in prayer,

[00:36:02] and thanking him anyway,

[00:36:04] for saving us.

[00:36:05] Those of us,

[00:36:07] that know him as our Lord and Savior.

[00:36:12] So grace and mercy,

[00:36:17] grace and mercy,

[00:36:20] grace and mercy,

[00:36:22] it's always there,

[00:36:23] every day.

[00:36:24] That's why I say it,

[00:36:25] every time I pray.

[00:36:28] I had someone send me a,

[00:36:31] message or messenger,

[00:36:33] and say,

[00:36:33] why do you always say,

[00:36:35] grace and mercy,

[00:36:36] that's repetitious.

[00:36:37] You know,

[00:36:37] repetitious prayer,

[00:36:39] saying the same prayer,

[00:36:40] over and over and over and over and over.

[00:36:43] But I say grace and mercy,

[00:36:45] because his grace and mercy,

[00:36:46] is new every single day,

[00:36:50] of our lives.

[00:36:52] In fact,

[00:36:53] in a Bible study recently,

[00:36:56] I learned that,

[00:36:57] I can start my day over.

[00:36:58] That's how sufficient,

[00:37:00] God's grace and mercy is.

[00:37:04] Wherever I stumble in that day,

[00:37:07] if I'm mindful,

[00:37:09] and I got the Holy Spirit,

[00:37:11] on the inside of me,

[00:37:13] and I'm walking with God,

[00:37:16] I can turn my whole day around,

[00:37:19] at whatever point,

[00:37:23] it starts to get raggedy.

[00:37:26] I'm following my knees,

[00:37:30] ask God to forgive me,

[00:37:32] of everything that I said,

[00:37:33] done,

[00:37:33] or thought,

[00:37:34] that was unpleasing to him,

[00:37:36] and restart my day.

[00:37:37] That's God's grace and mercy.

[00:37:39] Because it's not about how,

[00:37:40] we stumble.

[00:37:42] And I'm going to keep saying that too.

[00:37:45] Because we're going to stumble.

[00:37:48] We're not perfect.

[00:37:50] But it's how you get back up,

[00:37:52] and you keep running.

[00:37:54] And you keep trying to be mindful,

[00:37:58] of what God has told you in his word.

[00:38:01] I got little whiteboards everywhere,

[00:38:05] to remind me of my strengths,

[00:38:07] and my weaknesses.

[00:38:08] I'm weak when it comes to running my mouse.

[00:38:11] I got a whole whiteboard of proverbs.

[00:38:16] When I need strength,

[00:38:17] I got a whiteboard for my strength.

[00:38:20] I got little cue cards,

[00:38:23] that I made on indexes,

[00:38:26] that I might grab a hold of,

[00:38:31] and I'll flip through them,

[00:38:33] to remind me.

[00:38:34] Okay.

[00:38:35] Hebrews 11.

[00:38:36] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,

[00:38:39] and evidence of things not seen,

[00:38:40] if I'm wavering in my faith that day.

[00:38:43] But one new nifty thing,

[00:38:46] that I picked up,

[00:38:46] that my bishop,

[00:38:47] was preaching about yesterday.

[00:38:52] He reminded me.

[00:38:54] I wouldn't even say that it's new.

[00:38:56] He reminded me,

[00:38:57] through all the things,

[00:38:59] that we go through.

[00:39:01] To count it all joy.

[00:39:05] He reminded me,

[00:39:07] that the people that really followed God,

[00:39:11] in the Old Testament,

[00:39:12] and the New Testament,

[00:39:14] and those of us today,

[00:39:17] to count it all joy.

[00:39:20] That's why they were so happy.

[00:39:25] Because God is somewhere in the midst,

[00:39:28] and all things work together,

[00:39:30] for those who love God.

[00:39:34] That his word would not return to him void.

[00:39:38] So instead of me,

[00:39:40] having a frown on my face,

[00:39:41] instead of you,

[00:39:42] having a frown on your face,

[00:39:45] if something is out of whack,

[00:39:48] in your life,

[00:39:50] start praising him.

[00:39:52] Start blessing his name.

[00:39:53] Let that joy,

[00:39:55] that's deep down on the inside of you,

[00:39:57] the Holy Spirit,

[00:39:58] start praising him.

[00:40:00] Because there is,

[00:40:02] an outcome,

[00:40:05] to everything,

[00:40:07] in our lives.

[00:40:08] God will,

[00:40:09] turn our frowns,

[00:40:13] upside down,

[00:40:14] into a smile,

[00:40:15] if we're reminded,

[00:40:18] to be joyful.

[00:40:20] No matter what it looks like.

[00:40:22] And it's hard.

[00:40:23] It's hard.

[00:40:25] It's hard.

[00:40:25] Especially when you're a babe in Christ.

[00:40:26] I'm still a babe in Christ.

[00:40:28] I'm learning though.

[00:40:30] And I thank God,

[00:40:32] that he's striving with me.

[00:40:34] That he's my teacher.

[00:40:35] That the Holy Spirit is my teacher.

[00:40:37] My ever present help.

[00:40:39] He's always there to guide me,

[00:40:41] give me wisdom.

[00:40:42] Feed me his word.

[00:40:43] Give me something to meditate on.

[00:40:45] And that's meditation.

[00:40:47] When you can hear something.

[00:40:50] Like what I heard,

[00:40:53] yesterday,

[00:40:55] from my bishop.

[00:40:56] I had something to chew on.

[00:40:58] Something to meditate on,

[00:40:59] all day.

[00:41:00] And then I went to research.

[00:41:02] And I went to flipping through my word.

[00:41:05] Trying to find every place,

[00:41:07] that God said,

[00:41:09] joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy.

[00:41:13] Peace.

[00:41:17] And it gave me something,

[00:41:18] to meditate on.

[00:41:19] So guys,

[00:41:20] we're going to get up out of here.

[00:41:22] But before we go,

[00:41:24] I did a little video,

[00:41:25] because God has been really good,

[00:41:28] to this platform,

[00:41:30] over the last two years or so.

[00:41:32] We're going on our third year.

[00:41:34] We got our end of the year raps,

[00:41:36] from Spotify.

[00:41:37] And I just did a little presentation,

[00:41:40] just to thank,

[00:41:41] those of you,

[00:41:43] that do follow the show,

[00:41:46] that have been following the show,

[00:41:50] since I started it,

[00:41:52] back during the pandemic.

[00:41:54] I thank you.

[00:41:57] We've increased in 2024.

[00:42:02] And I'm just grateful.

[00:42:04] And I'm not going to be like Samson.

[00:42:07] I thank you,

[00:42:08] Lord,

[00:42:09] for showing yourself,

[00:42:11] mighty,

[00:42:13] on my behalf.

[00:42:14] I thank you,

[00:42:14] Lord,

[00:42:15] for giving me the courage,

[00:42:17] to step outside,

[00:42:18] of myself,

[00:42:20] step outside of my flesh,

[00:42:22] and be obedient,

[00:42:24] to what you asked me to do,

[00:42:26] even when I get it wrong sometimes.

[00:42:30] Even when I fall short,

[00:42:32] and beat myself up,

[00:42:33] he never beats me up.

[00:42:35] Sometimes I listen back,

[00:42:37] to the show,

[00:42:38] I done pronounced something wrong,

[00:42:39] said something wrong,

[00:42:40] slurred,

[00:42:42] which is something,

[00:42:43] that I got left with,

[00:42:44] but I'll take that,

[00:42:46] that slur,

[00:42:48] that I got left with.

[00:42:51] Because God cleans your girl up,

[00:42:53] in a mighty,

[00:42:54] mighty way.

[00:42:57] And his favor,

[00:42:58] surrounds me like a shield.

[00:43:01] When I first started this podcast,

[00:43:03] my sister,

[00:43:04] said,

[00:43:06] Victoria,

[00:43:06] God gonna take you some places.

[00:43:09] He gonna take you,

[00:43:10] around this world.

[00:43:12] And I laughed at her.

[00:43:14] I've told this story,

[00:43:14] many a times,

[00:43:15] I laughed at her.

[00:43:16] And within the first couple months,

[00:43:18] God had,

[00:43:20] the little engine that could,

[00:43:22] that's what I call it,

[00:43:23] 12th Street Talk Back podcast,

[00:43:25] the little engine that could,

[00:43:27] he had me,

[00:43:30] in other countries,

[00:43:31] around the world.

[00:43:33] So she prophesied,

[00:43:35] that thing,

[00:43:35] over my life.

[00:43:36] She spoke,

[00:43:37] into my life,

[00:43:38] and he continues,

[00:43:39] to do that,

[00:43:40] on all the listening platforms,

[00:43:42] whether it be Spotify,

[00:43:43] Apple,

[00:43:44] Amazon.

[00:43:45] I'm amazed,

[00:43:46] at the YouTube channel.

[00:43:48] Some days,

[00:43:48] I'm on here by myself.

[00:43:50] Some days,

[00:43:54] we got 112 people,

[00:43:56] following this channel.

[00:43:58] And,

[00:43:59] it's only been a year,

[00:44:00] year last month.

[00:44:02] Going on three years,

[00:44:04] being in the audio,

[00:44:06] part of it.

[00:44:07] So,

[00:44:07] I thank God for it.

[00:44:09] And I thank you,

[00:44:11] Lord.

[00:44:11] I thank you,

[00:44:11] fans.

[00:44:13] You guys,

[00:44:14] clearly had a favorite,

[00:44:15] Triggers.

[00:44:17] It was downloaded,

[00:44:18] over 343% of all of,

[00:44:24] my audio.

[00:44:25] And that's where I was talking about,

[00:44:27] things that can trigger us.

[00:44:28] And I talked about it,

[00:44:29] from the point of view,

[00:44:31] where I was out in the world,

[00:44:33] to my Christian walk.

[00:44:35] Things can still,

[00:44:36] trigger us.

[00:44:39] We increased in 23% of following.

[00:44:43] So,

[00:44:44] I thank God for that.

[00:44:45] And as I said before,

[00:44:47] I'm going to stay in the passenger seat,

[00:44:50] and let God continue to drive,

[00:44:54] this thing on home.

[00:44:56] I'm going to stay obedient,

[00:44:58] even when I feel like,

[00:45:00] I'm not qualified,

[00:45:03] that I made a mistake,

[00:45:04] I did or said something wrong.

[00:45:09] And this year,

[00:45:10] instead of living in,

[00:45:14] my mistake,

[00:45:15] my accident,

[00:45:17] my mispronunciation of something,

[00:45:21] I'm humble enough,

[00:45:23] to let someone come along,

[00:45:25] and feed me.

[00:45:27] And I thank God,

[00:45:29] for that.

[00:45:31] That I have people in my life,

[00:45:32] other platforms,

[00:45:34] that I could go to,

[00:45:36] and get fed and watered.

[00:45:39] As I continue,

[00:45:41] to feed and water,

[00:45:42] the people that God has given,

[00:45:44] to me,

[00:45:46] that chose to listen to how I,

[00:45:50] help,

[00:45:51] get God's word out there.

[00:45:53] Because we're all,

[00:45:55] supposed to be telling someone,

[00:45:57] the good news,

[00:45:59] about how God,

[00:46:01] brought us out,

[00:46:03] how he died on the cross for us,

[00:46:05] rose on the third day,

[00:46:06] with all power in his hand,

[00:46:08] extended it to us.

[00:46:11] He's seated afar,

[00:46:13] above the heavens,

[00:46:15] and we're seated with him.

[00:46:17] He makes intercessions,

[00:46:19] on our behalf.

[00:46:22] He left us a helper,

[00:46:24] the Holy Spirit,

[00:46:26] which lives deep down,

[00:46:27] inside of us.

[00:46:30] So we don't have to,

[00:46:32] want for anything.

[00:46:34] We just gotta get our mind right.

[00:46:38] So peace and blessings,

[00:46:39] to all those,

[00:46:40] that tuned in today.

[00:46:41] And if you're watching the recap,

[00:46:43] thank you,

[00:46:44] thank you so much,

[00:46:45] for even tuning in,

[00:46:47] to 12th Street Top Back,

[00:46:49] the little engine that could.

[00:46:51] God has taken,

[00:46:52] us places.

[00:46:56] God has taken me places.

[00:46:58] He has an anointing,

[00:47:00] on my life.

[00:47:04] And it may not look like it,

[00:47:06] to some.

[00:47:07] But God didn't give everybody,

[00:47:09] the memo.

[00:47:10] He gave me the memo.

[00:47:13] As long as I stay,

[00:47:15] obedient,

[00:47:15] and steadfast,

[00:47:20] he'll do exactly,

[00:47:21] what he said he's gonna do.

[00:47:23] Because he is not a God.

[00:47:25] That he shall lie.

[00:47:26] He is not man.

[00:47:28] Trust him today.

[00:47:31] You don't have to be perfect,

[00:47:33] to trust him.

[00:47:35] You just gotta say yes.

[00:47:39] He'll come along.

[00:47:42] And give the increase.

[00:47:45] Just say yes.

[00:47:47] Wherever you're at.

[00:47:49] No, you're not gonna stop cussing,

[00:47:51] on the day that you say yes.

[00:47:53] No, you're not gonna stop drinking,

[00:47:55] on the day that you say yes.

[00:47:57] No, you're not gonna stop smoking,

[00:47:58] on the day that you say yes.

[00:48:02] But give him that yes.

[00:48:06] And who knows?

[00:48:09] You may be one of the ones,

[00:48:11] that his favor surrounds you,

[00:48:12] like a shield,

[00:48:13] and everything that I just listed.

[00:48:17] You're gonna stop doing immediately.

[00:48:19] But give him a yes today.

[00:48:26] If you can't do anything else,

[00:48:28] give someone a kind word today.

[00:48:29] But a hot meal,

[00:48:31] it goes a long,

[00:48:34] long way.

[00:48:35] Thank you.
