err....Notes from DARE 20.6.09?

Entrance of God's words bring light

Samson story

Jesus appeared to Samson's mom.
Told her that Samson will deliver Israel from the Philistines.
Mom told Dad.
Dad don't believe Mom.
Ask God to send the messenger talk to him personally.
God came again to Mom.
But lousy Dad wasn't there.
Mom told Dad.
Dad saw God.
God told Dad to give burn offering.
Dad gave offering.
God rose up in the fire.
Dad went mad and said something like...WE HAVE SEEN THE LORD! WE SHALL SURELY DIE!
Mom slap some sense into Dad.
So God told Dad all the stuff about Samson.

Samson was a scrawny person.
He was ridiculed by everyone cos of his long hair...i think...
He grew up rejected.

While everyone was in the Passover Feast(?) having wine and grapes, Samson was somewhere in the corner watching everyone have fun cos Samson can't have wine touch his lips...God say so.
Then Samson father so unaffirming...instead of saying stuff like, its okay son, while they are having wine, we shall go up the mountains and hunt for deer.
Samson father like, left him alone...

So Samson din't have fathers love.
Lust became his weakness.
Married a Philistine called Delilah.

Samson name is Shimshon in hebrew.
Means Brilliant, Shining light.
Philistine means...Wallow in the dust.

Story of Joseph
He had very loving father, and was victorious in the very area that Samson was lacking in. Lust. He rejected Potty's wife.

sooo....
With God's love, we can overcome everything.
