Does Delilah operate within YOU?!

Ain't no hey. Just what's up! Don't even want to know how y'all doing. Just listen with your eyes 😁. This is a raw message today.

Y'all know about Samson and Delilah right?! If not you can find their story in Judges. However, I had the pleasure of reading their story again this week and I just realized something. Delilah is operating in a lot of people.

Everybody is always talking about Jezebel. Like Delilah didn't serve a sinister purpose as well. That chic stayed nagging. Getting on Samson nerves until she finally got him to give in and tell his secret.

Breathe. Now look in the mirror 🪞. Do you see Delilah?! 🧐

If you didn't it's because maybe you're in denial that you have been used by the Philistines. The people who worshipped the fish headed God. They were so happy when Delilah finally got Samson to tell the truth. They were praising their God and cracking jokes. Dancing around like people do 👀.

When the persistent nagging spirit in Delilah was what got him to crack.

Men today STILL can't stand a nagging woman 🥴😂. Don't ask that man the same thing 5011 times. Let him chill and leave him be. But what's interesting is how Delilah is showing up today.

People are so pressed on being “in the group” of folks used by wickedness to get someone else to break. We're going to nagg every thing they're doing just because we have access. Some people are the most talking thru the movie kinda folks it's ridiculous!

Then they'll be like “you have to deal with it because you're at a higher level.” 😁🧐 😂 Who?! smacks teeth

You will talk to me nicely or I'll talk to you accordingly. You can see all these details about someone else but cant see yourself?! Guess we don't train people to look inwardly enough. Too busy trying to nagg someone else off their post.

Someone will say they want peace and here comes Delilah she heard “problems”. Now there's a monkey riding your back named Delilah. A flying monkey at that. Wizard of Oz type thing. And everybody who deems themselves as more mature will tell you “don't swat the monkey down”.

🗣️It's a war going on outside. Take the monkey out !! Bring it down!! 🤨 Shoot your arrows into its camp.

Idky people look at anointed people and think they always show up in one way. That's the biggest farce EVER. Samson was used and brought up dedicated to God JUST to stir up trouble in the Philistines camp. He was fashioned from birth for godly trouble! And was STILL ANOINTED AND USED BY GOD!

But guess what brought him down. His appetite for women outside his camp. Ain't that something. This man was anointed by God. Strength on indestructible and the thing that took him out was his appetite for a beautiful woman from the enemies camp.

God set it up all on purpose for his plans. Anointings show up in all types of uses. God puts together all kinds of scenarios and people are like “blah, blah, blah, blah,blah , blah” like God doesn't know what he's doing. Samson mom told him to choose a woman from their clan. Yet, Samson knew what he wanted. And he knew because it was God's design for his life!

Had he listened to his mom trying to convince him to do what she thought was best God would’ve had to restrategize his plans. Of course we know he's able to do so. I'm just saying.

Your nagging trying to tear someone down is because Delilah is within you. Samsons appetite that cost him his life but gave God the victory was counted in the cost of his anointing. There is NO one way for an anointing to present in a person's life.

I'm sure if Samson would've just told that girl to shut the heck up! He could've avoided all of that. Yet, she was used in the grand scheme of it all.

Things don't have to make sense. They have to produce results that God wants. (This will surely be used by a narcissist because narcs are just cruel decepticons! And NO this is NOT about a desire for a freaking relationship 🙄) But those with eyes to see and ears to hear innerstand what I mean. I don't expect things to be easy. Don't expect for the truth of your reflection to always be easy either 🤷🏿‍♀️‼️

And yep. It's still love ya later.

Samson didn't not love Delilah because she was getting on his nerves. It's STILL all love.

Stability in Truth

Heeeeyyyy Good People and Others! How are y'all doing? I hope well of course. I mean fall is almost officially here and I'm kinda excited about it. Not the cold part 😩 just the fall part 🍁🍂. (I'm just being honest.)

I was reading thru the word and ran across something I wanted to share my little two cents on. Don't worry I'ma share some Bible so you can look into it yourself if you'd like. Matter of fact some of you might not even need your word ; pretty sure most people know this scripture. Which scripture came to mind immediately for you 👀? Drop it down below in the comments.

If you guessed Psalms 91 you would be correct.

In Psalms 91:4 it states “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”

When I read this verse I paused and began to ask myself how God's truth is our shield? I also wondered on what a buckler was 😅. I definitely did not know. So I pulled out my handy dandy Strongs Concordance and began to dig. I was pleasantly surprised at what I discovered.

The word “truth” in Strongs is Emeth which actually means “stability, certainty, truth, trustworthiness”. God's truth provides us stability. Gives us certainty and trustworthiness when we apply it to our lives. The word “shield” is tsinnah which is “a hook or large prickly shield”. Which means not only does God's truth give us “stability” it also “shields us” with a sharp defense system (the prickliness of the hook). The word “buckler” is cochereth which is also “a shield or something that surrounds a person”. Meaning God's truth gives us stability that sharply shields us and surrounds us completely. 🤯

I love the details. God is so intentional with his design for us.

When we think about “truth” in the world today and how so many people have seen or are seeing their lives being torn upside down because of the lies they have lived. It makes you appreciate living boldly in your truth. Whatever that may be for you. Truth gives us freedom; living in God's truth gives us stability & protection. When we are outside of God's truth we have the appearance of stability we can't fully trust and a faulty protection system.

Ruth 2:12 tells us “The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.” When we take refuge under God's wings we are greatly rewarded for the work we do. There are benefits to staying close to God. Many have become accustomed to getting microwaved benefits. Having no patience. Some things God gives us requires us to have patience to receive them much like some of the “fathers or mothers” that came before us. Like Abraham, Sara, Noah, Moses, and etc.

Takeaway : Let God's truth provide you with the stability we all so desperately desire in these times and throughout life.

Love ya. Later.
