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.

The Pressure is Imminent But So is the Victory!
Heeeeyyyy good people & others. How are you doing?! I'm doing pretty good & I hope you can say so as well. Let's get into it. You see the title right 👀; but do you believe the title? If not, I hope by the end of this blog you have an increase in belief 😌.
I was reading briefly in Isaiah 54 today and there were a few scriptures that stuck out to me. Isaiah 54:15 says “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.” After I read this scripture I paused and kind of smiled. I have had industries, ministries, saints, and aint’s alike all gather against me. Yet, standing still, I am. 🙌🏿 Hallelujah !
See, God knew that on this walk with him that people would gather against us. There was no question about it. Yet, his word also ensures that they shall fall for thy sake. Meaning even though the pressure would be applied our victory would be supplied. 💃🏿
As I proceeded to move forward in the word Isaiah 54:16 really gave me a good laugh. It states “Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.” You're probably wondering why this scripture gave me a good laugh. Our father truly has a sense of humor. The other day I was in the word reading about how Paul had ticked off the silversmiths because he was speaking against the idol that they made and worshipped (Acts 19:23-41). They “gathered together” against Paul. 😆
Look at what a silversmith does in Isaiah 54:16, it says they “bloweth the coals in the fire”. The use of fire in the work of a silversmith is to shape or refine the metal. 🤯 When you blow coals in a fire typically there is smoke. 😁 I have a previous blog that deals with the smoke …… See even in the smoke that's being blown there's purpose. There's intention. The smoke is shaping and refining us. Might be uncomfortable, might struggle to breathe for a little bit but overcome you shall.
The pressure we experience is fuel to the fire God has lit within us. The pressure is not for us to crumble it’s to shape & refine us for the work ahead.
Even the waster who was created to destroy has purpose. Destruction is also part of the process. There are many ways destruction can hit us; which, we might need to discuss in a different blog.
Isaiah 54:17 says “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”
In society today, we can see that the weapons have formed. For some it might appear as if they are prospering but God can not lie. Do not allow the formation of the weapons in the world to rattle you. Victory is still our portion!! The smoke is just fuel to the fire 🔥! Make sure you keep your fire burning! God is faithful. Remember to stand. Fight the good fight!
Love ya. Later.

Where there is Oppression, there is Wickedness ‼️
What up everybody? I hope that you are well in your mind and heart during the current climate of the world. Lot of changes taking place. Quite a few things that might cause some to worry. Yet, as hard as that may be to not do; try your best to cast your cares on God.
What we are seeing today has been what it has always been. There has always been the wicked oppressing God’s people Israel since the time God has appointed leaders (2 Sam 7:10-11). Some took heed to the warnings, some did not. Yet, there is nothing new under the sun.
What we now have to do is be mindful of where we stand. How we stand. And trust that God is sovereign.
There are so many planned distractions taking place. So much propaganda! So many people hyped up and competing and comparing instead of focusing on God. Within the church, outside the church and it's all a big mess of distraction. Where God is our focus needs to be.
Some people have loyalties to the very people who have a hand in their oppression. The word tells us that the wicked people oppress. Where is your oppression coming from?! And are you loyal to your oppressors? Do you stand on the side of the wicked?!
God desires to give us rest from our enemies (2 Sam 7:11). We just have to endure well. Keep the faith. Fight the good fight.
Love ya, later.
