When Samson was born God gave him something.
Judges 13:4-5 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean, because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
When Samson’s mother was pregnant she was told by God not to drink any wine. When we are saved and accept Jesus into our lives there are conditions we must follow. We are not allowed to drink any wine or alcohol, we are not allowed to lie, we not allowed to steal and we are not allowed to do anything that doesn’t please God.
This woman was to keep Samson. The reason for keeping this child is that he would deliver Israel from the Philistines. “If you drink wine or alcohol My glory will not be in this child, so keep this pregnancy pure”. Who knows why Kelly decided to be saved? Do you know why God called you Kelly? I don’t think so. If you keep this salvation you have to respect the restrictions God gave you and if you do you will help other people. As we are all saved we must know God has a mission for us. The only thing we must do is keep to the restrictions God gives us. God doesn’t ask for anything great only that we respect His conditions. We must do this in order to be spiritually strong. We must respect the pregnancy in us.
Luke 1:15-16 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth. Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God.
When John the Baptist was born it says that many Israelites will be saved. When we are saved and can keep what is in us we can bring many people to God. To lead people to God will give us a great reward.
