With the shocking revelations of the moral failures of pastors of well-known megachurches, I am reminded of something the Lord told me in 2015, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court had legalized same-sex marriage.

It happened late one night as I sat in my chair grieving about America’s cultural descent into moral depravity and confusion.

I also grieved at the feckless state of the church, seemingly unable to stand against this godless tide.

I then heard the Lord speak clearly: “There is a lesson for today’s church from the life of Samson.”

As I then reread the life of Samson in Judges 16, it was clear that the word God wanted to speak to the church was the word “consecration.”

With the new and startling revelations of the moral sins of well-known Christian leaders, it seems appropriate to share this message once again.

Samson was consecrated as a Nazirite while still in his mother’s womb.

“Nazirite” comes from the Hebrew word Nazir meaning “consecrated” or “separated.”

The Nazirite vow was a solemn commitment: Samson would live a “separated” life unto God, wholly dedicated to His purpose.

The outward sign of this consecration was that he would never cut his hair.

So long as Samson lived in this consecration, he was invincible.

He was able to confront and overcome everything the enemies of God threw against him.

On one occasion he killed a thousand Philistines by himself with the jawbone of a donkey.
