Trails Of Fire

Judges 15:1-5

There are lessons/parallels we can gather from the 300 foxes Samson released into the Philistine fields after setting them on fire, as seen in our text message.

Samson's wife had been given to another man while he was away shortly after they got married, she was given to a Philistine man who played the role of best man/friend to Samson on his wedding day.

This was done by Samson's father under Philistine influence so as to spite Samson, since Samson had taken a wife from the Philistines, the enemy camp.

The foxes Samson used to get vengeance on the Philistines are an example of how we should be for God.

The foxes were used as weapons by Samson.

You should be a weapon in the hands of your creator.

Jeremiah 51:20

The foxes were alive when Samson used them, dead foxes would be of no use to Samson.

God has kept you alive so that you will be useful to Him.

Psalm 30:9

The foxes Samson used to destroy the farmlands of the Philistines were lit with fire.

It is God's will that we are lit with the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:1-3

As the foxes ran through and across the vineyards and farmlands of the Philistines, they left trails of fire across the length and breadth of the fields.

God expects us to make an impact of divine fire for Him, spreading His light and fire everywhere we go.

Matthew 3:11

As the foxes on fire ran helter-skelter across the Philistine fields, destruction came upon the harvest of the Philistines.

It is God's will that the purpose and ministry of Jesus Christ is continued through us, which is destroying the works of the enemy wherever we are.

1 John 3:8

The foxes were lit and tied in two's, just as Jesus sent out His disciples in twos and Noah had two of every animal come into the ark.

Mark 6:7

Two is the number of witness.

Psalm 62:11

Two is the number of multiplications, procreation, and reproduction.

Genesis 1:28

Two is the number of agreement.

Matthew 18:19

It takes two to make a greater impact.

Deuteronomy 32:30

As the Philistines looked at their fields at night from their elevated positions- their mountain top homes, the top of their walls, and their castle, they could see trails of moving, 'living' fire speeding across the harvest fields as the foxes ran.

When heaven looks down on us on earth, God should see beautiful trails of divine fire across the length and breadth of the world left behind by His children and trailing each of His children wherever they go.

This is supernatural fire, spiritual fire with physical impact.

It is living fire, the Pentecostal fire of the Holy Spirit!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
