00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:57.200
The<00:00:50.880><c> 14th</c><00:00:51.640><c> chapter</c><00:00:51.640><c> takes</c><00:00:52.759><c> us</c><00:00:53.200><c> into</c><00:00:54.179><c> a</c><00:00:54.560><c> different</c><00:00:54.820><c> area,</c><00:00:55.520><c> a</c><00:00:55.619><c> different</c><00:00:55.880><c> sphere</c><00:00:56.439><c> of</c>

Samson's<00:00:57.820><c> life.</c>

00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:06.760
And<00:00:59.640><c> we</c><00:00:59.840><c> see</c><00:01:00.200><c> a</c><00:01:00.460><c> side</c><00:01:00.640><c> of</c><00:01:00.880><c> Samson</c><00:01:01.520><c> which</c><00:01:02.719><c> we</c><00:01:02.979><c> would</c><00:01:03.240><c> perhaps</c><00:01:03.619><c> not</c><00:01:04.040><c> expect</c><00:01:04.700><c> from</c><00:01:05.500><c> one</c><00:01:05.780><c> who</c><00:01:05.959><c> has</c><00:01:06.099><c> been</c><00:01:06.299><c> raised</c><00:01:06.599><c> up</c>

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.359
Yahweh<00:01:19.500><c> began</c><00:01:19.780><c> to</c><00:01:20.099><c> move</c><00:01:20.719><c> Samson</c><00:01:21.700><c> at</c><00:01:22.260><c> times</c><00:01:22.540><c> in</c><00:01:22.760><c> the</c><00:01:22.900><c> camp</c><00:01:23.079><c> of</c>

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:34.799
Of<00:01:28.120><c> course,</c><00:01:30.959><c> Zorah</c><00:01:31.140><c> and</c><00:01:31.319><c> Ashtiol</c><00:01:31.879><c> are</c><00:01:32.079><c> about</c><00:01:33.120><c> Zorah's</c><00:01:34.599><c> here</c>

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.760
and<00:01:35.019><c> Ashtiol</c><00:01:35.739><c> is</c><00:01:35.959><c> there.</c>

00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.140
And<00:01:37.340><c> it's</c><00:01:37.640><c> between</c><00:01:38.000><c> that</c><00:01:38.280><c> area</c><00:01:38.659><c> and</c><00:01:38.900><c> that</c><00:01:39.140><c> region</c><00:01:39.579><c> that</c><00:01:39.900><c> Samson</c><00:01:40.620><c> was</c>

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:44.560
moved<00:01:41.579><c> to</c><00:01:42.579><c> perform</c><00:01:43.140><c> the</c><00:01:43.379><c> deeds</c><00:01:43.540><c> of</c><00:01:43.840><c> God.</c>

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.340
But<00:01:45.640><c> you'll</c><00:01:45.859><c> notice</c><00:01:46.640><c> it</c><00:01:48.439><c> says</c><00:01:48.760><c> the</c><00:01:49.019><c> spirit</c><00:01:49.319><c> of</c><00:01:49.500><c> the</c><00:01:49.620><c> Lord</c><00:01:49.780><c> began</c><00:01:50.079><c> to</c>

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:52.819
move<00:01:50.500><c> him</c><00:01:50.900><c> at</c><00:01:51.620><c> times.</c>

00:01:54.819 --> 00:01:59.400
Now<00:01:55.379><c> that</c><00:01:55.939><c> really</c><00:01:56.319><c> means,</c><00:01:56.859><c> brethren</c><00:01:57.000><c> and</c><00:01:57.280><c> sisters,</c><00:01:57.500><c> that</c><00:01:57.680><c> there</c><00:01:57.780><c> were</c><00:01:57.980><c> times</c><00:01:58.420><c> when</c><00:01:59.200><c> God</c>

00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.040
didn't<00:01:59.700><c> move</c><00:02:00.000><c> him.</c>

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:09.520
And<00:02:04.280><c> there</c><00:02:04.379><c> are</c><00:02:04.560><c> times</c><00:02:04.980><c> when,</c><00:02:06.260><c> left</c><00:02:06.620><c> to</c><00:02:06.819><c> our</c><00:02:07.079><c> own</c><00:02:07.359><c> devices,</c><00:02:09.340><c> we</c>

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.960
find,<00:02:09.860><c> brethren</c><00:02:10.180><c> and</c><00:02:10.400><c> sisters,</c><00:02:10.539><c> that</c><00:02:10.780><c> we</c><00:02:11.020><c> fail</c><00:02:11.620><c> ever</c><00:02:12.319><c> so</c><00:02:12.759><c> miserably.</c>

00:02:15.379 --> 00:02:18.199
And<00:02:15.900><c> we</c><00:02:16.039><c> tend</c><00:02:16.219><c> to</c><00:02:16.360><c> view</c><00:02:16.539><c> the</c><00:02:16.879><c> people</c><00:02:17.099><c> of</c><00:02:17.319><c> the</c><00:02:17.500><c> Bible</c><00:02:17.800><c> as</c><00:02:18.039><c> though</c>

00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.479
they<00:02:18.340><c> have</c><00:02:18.539><c> some</c><00:02:19.139><c> special</c><00:02:19.520><c> advantage</c><00:02:20.120><c> over</c><00:02:20.500><c> us</c>

00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.599
because<00:02:22.120><c> God</c><00:02:22.340><c> was</c><00:02:22.580><c> always</c><00:02:22.939><c> working</c><00:02:23.199><c> with</c><00:02:23.500><c> them,</c><00:02:24.020><c> associated</c>

00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:25.280
with<00:02:24.900><c> them.</c>

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.900
We<00:02:25.539><c> even</c><00:02:25.759><c> think</c><00:02:25.939><c> of</c><00:02:26.199><c> Abraham</c><00:02:26.620><c> as</c><00:02:27.180><c> though</c><00:02:27.719><c> we</c><00:02:28.080><c> wish</c><00:02:28.340><c> we</c><00:02:28.539><c> were</c><00:02:28.719><c> in</c>

00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:32.620
Abraham's<00:02:29.439><c> shoes</c><00:02:29.620><c> where</c><00:02:29.840><c> God</c><00:02:30.039><c> was</c><00:02:30.319><c> visiting</c><00:02:30.699><c> him</c><00:02:31.060><c> every</c><00:02:31.340><c> other</c><00:02:31.620><c> day.</c>

00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:35.900
And<00:02:32.740><c> yet</c><00:02:32.879><c> over</c><00:02:33.159><c> a</c><00:02:33.280><c> period</c><00:02:33.460><c> of</c><00:02:33.680><c> 25</c><00:02:34.159><c> years,</c><00:02:35.400><c> perhaps</c><00:02:35.479><c> three</c><00:02:35.740><c> or</c>

00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:40.599
four<00:02:36.199><c> occasions,</c><00:02:37.759><c> was</c><00:02:37.879><c> when</c><00:02:38.199><c> God</c><00:02:38.919><c> visited</c><00:02:39.620><c> him.</c>

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:47.199
And<00:02:43.879><c> because</c><00:02:44.419><c> we</c><00:02:44.699><c> expect</c><00:02:45.120><c> more</c><00:02:45.460><c> of</c><00:02:45.699><c> these</c><00:02:46.139><c> individuals,</c><00:02:47.000><c> when</c>

00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.599
they<00:02:47.560><c> fail,</c><00:02:49.300><c> we</c><00:02:49.419><c> tend</c><00:02:49.659><c> to</c><00:02:49.840><c> judge</c><00:02:50.080><c> them</c><00:02:50.340><c> rather</c><00:02:50.740><c> harshly.</c>

00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.840
And<00:02:53.400><c> I</c><00:02:53.460><c> think</c><00:02:53.599><c> that's</c><00:02:53.780><c> one</c><00:02:53.979><c> of</c><00:02:54.099><c> the</c><00:02:54.259><c> sad</c><00:02:54.500><c> points</c><00:02:55.000><c> about</c><00:02:55.419><c> Samson's</c><00:02:56.060><c> life.</c>

00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.699
We<00:02:57.740><c> can</c><00:02:57.939><c> remember</c><00:02:58.340><c> all</c><00:02:58.719><c> the</c><00:02:58.979><c> things</c><00:02:59.259><c> which</c><00:02:59.500><c> he</c><00:02:59.580><c> did</c><00:02:59.840><c> wrong,</c><00:03:01.319><c> but</c><00:03:01.500><c> we</c>

00:03:01.699 --> 00:03:05.419
tend<00:03:01.879><c> to</c><00:03:02.159><c> forget</c><00:03:02.580><c> the</c><00:03:03.520><c> purpose</c><00:03:03.939><c> that</c><00:03:04.180><c> God</c><00:03:04.319><c> had</c><00:03:04.580><c> with</c><00:03:04.840><c> him.</c>

00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:10.919
But<00:03:06.319><c> did</c><00:03:06.599><c> wrong,</c><00:03:07.139><c> he</c><00:03:07.139><c> did.</c><00:03:09.139><c> And</c><00:03:09.620><c> we're</c><00:03:09.879><c> going</c><00:03:10.000><c> to</c><00:03:10.180><c> examine</c><00:03:10.479><c> some</c><00:03:10.759><c> of</c>

00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.580
those<00:03:11.099><c> things</c><00:03:11.400><c> today.</c>

00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.500
But<00:03:15.360><c> it</c><00:03:15.539><c> does</c><00:03:15.780><c> say</c><00:03:16.539><c> that</c><00:03:17.599><c> the</c><00:03:17.840><c> spirit</c><00:03:18.139><c> of</c><00:03:18.360><c> God</c><00:03:19.240><c> began</c><00:03:20.120><c> to</c><00:03:20.419><c> move</c><00:03:20.560><c> him.</c>

00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:26.199

00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.620
So<00:09:59.639><c> we're</c><00:09:59.960><c> in</c><00:10:00.200><c> the</c><00:10:00.419><c> right</c><00:10:00.679><c> context,</c><00:10:01.399><c> aren't</c><00:10:01.559><c> we?</c>

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.039

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.259
What<00:10:09.440><c> was</c><00:10:09.620><c> that</c><00:10:09.899><c> spirit?</c>

00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:14.840
It<00:10:10.879><c> was</c><00:10:10.879><c> the</c><00:10:10.879><c> spirit</c><00:10:11.299><c> of</c><00:10:11.620><c> wisdom</c><00:10:12.179><c> and</c><00:10:13.440><c> understanding,</c>

00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:27.120
So<00:10:23.899><c> there's</c><00:10:24.240><c> the</c><00:10:24.399><c> definition</c><00:10:25.120><c> of</c><00:10:26.039><c> what</c><00:10:26.240><c> the</c><00:10:26.419><c> spirit</c><00:10:26.759><c> of</c><00:10:26.960><c> the</c>

00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:42.299
And<00:10:38.159><c> he</c><00:10:38.299><c> goes</c><00:10:38.559><c> on</c><00:10:38.759><c> to</c><00:10:38.919><c> say</c><00:10:39.100><c> it</c><00:10:39.220><c> shall</c><00:10:39.360><c> make</c><00:10:39.600><c> him</c><00:10:39.820><c> a</c><00:10:40.000><c> quick</c><00:10:40.200><c> understanding</c><00:10:40.879><c> in</c><00:10:41.679><c> the</c><00:10:41.899><c> fear</c><00:10:42.059><c> of</c>

the<00:10:42.460><c> Lord.</c>

00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:44.299
And<00:10:43.220><c> notice</c><00:10:43.480><c> what</c><00:10:43.659><c> it</c><00:10:43.879><c> says.</c>

00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.679
He<00:10:44.879><c> shall</c><00:10:45.200><c> not</c><00:10:45.620><c> judge</c><00:10:46.059><c> after</c><00:10:46.480><c> the</c><00:10:46.840><c> sight</c><00:10:47.159><c> of</c><00:10:47.659><c> his</c><00:10:47.919><c> eyes,</c>

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:57.100
And<00:10:53.639><c> so</c><00:10:53.799><c> what</c><00:10:55.120><c> Isaiah</c><00:10:55.559><c> is</c><00:10:55.919><c> telling</c><00:10:56.120><c> us,</c>

00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.159
They're<00:11:05.320><c> not</c><00:11:05.600><c> influenced</c><00:11:06.399><c> by</c><00:11:06.860><c> outward</c><00:11:07.320><c> appearances.</c>

Jesse's<00:11:13.159><c> house.</c>

Kind<00:11:14.259><c> of</c><00:11:14.399><c> interesting</c><00:11:14.919><c> that</c><00:11:15.399><c> it's</c><00:11:15.799><c> Jesse</c><00:11:16.059><c> that</c><00:11:16.240><c> he's</c><00:11:16.399><c> talking</c><00:11:16.799><c> about.</c>

00:11:18.659 --> 00:11:22.960
And<00:11:18.899><c> Samuel's</c><00:11:19.460><c> there</c><00:11:19.899><c> to</c><00:11:20.399><c> anoint</c><00:11:20.799><c> the</c><00:11:21.120><c> next</c><00:11:21.460><c> king</c><00:11:21.740><c> of</c><00:11:21.980><c> Israel,</c>

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:26.759
and<00:11:23.500><c> he</c><00:11:23.620><c> looks</c><00:11:23.860><c> at</c><00:11:24.179><c> the</c><00:11:24.600><c> firstborn</c><00:11:25.240><c> of</c><00:11:25.519><c> Jesse</c><00:11:25.980><c> and</c><00:11:26.460><c> he</c><00:11:26.639><c> says,</c>

00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.980
Surely<00:11:27.259><c> this</c><00:11:27.580><c> is</c><00:11:27.799><c> the</c><00:11:28.000><c> man.</c>

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:33.600
And<00:11:29.860><c> God</c><00:11:30.039><c> had</c><00:11:30.259><c> to</c><00:11:30.559><c> remind</c><00:11:31.000><c> him,</c><00:11:31.840><c> one</c><00:11:32.080><c> after</c><00:11:32.399><c> the</c><00:11:32.639><c> other,</c>

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:37.379
that<00:11:34.399><c> you</c><00:11:34.679><c> don't</c><00:11:35.059><c> look</c><00:11:35.379><c> on</c><00:11:35.600><c> the</c><00:11:35.860><c> outward</c><00:11:36.159><c> appearance.</c>

00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:39.899
You<00:11:38.139><c> look</c><00:11:38.419><c> on</c><00:11:38.600><c> the</c><00:11:38.840><c> heart.</c>

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:44.620
Because<00:11:41.039><c> the</c><00:11:41.460><c> heart</c><00:11:41.759><c> is</c><00:11:42.039><c> what</c><00:11:42.139><c> is</c><00:11:42.620><c> influenced</c><00:11:43.419><c> by</c><00:11:44.139><c> the</c><00:11:44.360><c> spirit</c>

The<00:11:48.519><c> outward</c><00:11:48.820><c> appearance</c><00:11:49.399><c> we</c><00:11:49.860><c> can</c><00:11:50.059><c> put</c><00:11:50.259><c> on</c><00:11:50.419><c> as</c><00:11:50.679><c> big</c><00:11:50.899><c> a</c><00:11:51.059><c> show</c><00:11:51.179><c> as</c><00:11:51.440><c> possible</c>

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:58.600
Everybody<00:11:55.659><c> thinks</c><00:11:56.220><c> they</c><00:11:56.539><c> know</c><00:11:56.759><c> because</c><00:11:57.039><c> of</c><00:11:57.179><c> what</c><00:11:57.320><c> they</c><00:11:57.620><c> see.</c>

00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.039
But<00:11:59.080><c> God</c><00:11:59.320><c> has</c><00:11:59.659><c> a</c><00:11:59.799><c> look</c><00:12:00.039><c> deep</c><00:12:00.419><c> down</c><00:12:00.960><c> and</c><00:12:01.200><c> he</c><00:12:01.299><c> knows</c><00:12:01.539><c> exactly</c>

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.399
That<00:12:26.860><c> was</c><00:12:27.100><c> his</c><00:12:27.440><c> biggest</c><00:12:27.899><c> problem.</c>

00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:30.620
That's<00:12:28.940><c> our</c><00:12:29.279><c> biggest</c><00:12:29.600><c> problem.</c>

00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.379
We<00:12:31.720><c> might</c><00:12:31.960><c> not</c><00:12:32.220><c> think</c><00:12:32.419><c> it,</c><00:12:33.480><c> but</c><00:12:33.720><c> that</c><00:12:33.960><c> is</c><00:12:34.080><c> what</c><00:12:34.240><c> it</c><00:12:34.440><c> is.</c>

00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:41.179
So<00:12:36.799><c> there's</c><00:12:37.120><c> the</c><00:12:37.320><c> definition</c><00:12:37.919><c> of</c><00:12:39.320><c> the</c><00:12:39.620><c> influence</c><00:12:39.899><c> of</c><00:12:40.139><c> the</c><00:12:40.340><c> spirit.</c>

00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:44.299
Now,<00:12:42.120><c> what</c><00:12:42.360><c> purpose</c><00:12:42.799><c> does</c><00:12:43.019><c> it</c><00:12:43.200><c> achieve?</c>

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:49.899
And<00:12:45.279><c> Isaiah</c><00:12:45.580><c> 61</c><00:12:46.240><c> now</c><00:12:47.440><c> provides</c><00:12:47.879><c> us</c><00:12:48.159><c> with</c><00:12:48.360><c> that</c><00:12:49.139><c> information.</c>

00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:53.379
And<00:12:50.779><c> this</c><00:12:50.919><c> is</c><00:12:51.159><c> the</c><00:12:51.379><c> quote</c><00:12:51.620><c> which</c><00:12:51.980><c> the</c><00:12:52.120><c> Lord</c><00:12:52.340><c> Jesus</c><00:12:52.820><c> Christ</c>

00:13:05.179 --> 00:13:08.100
The<00:13:05.340><c> spirit</c><00:13:05.840><c> of</c><00:13:06.100><c> the</c><00:13:06.279><c> Lord</c><00:13:06.480><c> is</c><00:13:06.759><c> upon</c><00:13:07.019><c> me,</c>

00:34:58.539 --> 00:35:02.260
God<00:34:59.440><c> was</c><00:34:59.659><c> working</c><00:35:00.059><c> with</c><00:35:01.559><c> Samson</c>

00:35:02.260 --> 00:35:04.460

00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:14.000
God<00:35:09.119><c> does</c><00:35:09.480><c> not</c><00:35:09.739><c> endorse</c><00:35:11.019><c> marriage</c><00:35:11.900><c> outside</c><00:35:12.599><c> of</c><00:35:12.800><c> the</c><00:35:13.019><c> truth.</c>

00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.119
And<00:35:15.739><c> we</c><00:35:15.840><c> can</c><00:35:16.019><c> be</c><00:35:16.239><c> assured,</c><00:35:16.780><c> brothers</c><00:35:16.960><c> and</c><00:35:17.159><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:22.340 --> 00:35:23.739
of<00:35:22.619><c> God.</c>

00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:29.159
The<00:35:27.679><c> Kingdom</c><00:35:28.059><c> of</c><00:35:28.219><c> God</c><00:35:28.420><c> is</c><00:35:28.619><c> going</c><00:35:28.739><c> to</c><00:35:28.900><c> happen</c>

00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.139
whether<00:35:29.400><c> we</c><00:35:29.639><c> want</c><00:35:29.920><c> to</c><00:35:30.059><c> be</c><00:35:30.179><c> in</c><00:35:30.280><c> it</c><00:35:30.420><c> or</c><00:35:30.559><c> not.</c>

But<00:35:35.260><c> what</c><00:35:35.679><c> I</c><00:35:35.960><c> think</c><00:35:36.159><c> it</c><00:35:36.380><c> really</c><00:35:36.679><c> means</c>

00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.159
is<00:35:39.679><c> that</c><00:35:39.880><c> God</c><00:35:40.119><c> took</c><00:35:40.460><c> charge</c><00:35:41.300><c> of</c><00:35:42.559><c> a</c><00:35:42.739><c> foolish</c><00:35:43.019><c> mistake</c>

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:47.920
and<00:35:45.059><c> he</c><00:35:45.320><c> turned</c><00:35:45.519><c> it</c><00:35:46.139><c> to</c><00:35:46.579><c> his</c><00:35:46.780><c> advantage.</c>

00:35:48.659 --> 00:35:50.320
You<00:35:48.840><c> see,</c><00:35:48.980><c> the</c><00:35:49.099><c> same</c><00:35:49.280><c> with</c><00:35:49.460><c> Jacob,</c><00:35:49.940><c> don't</c><00:35:50.079><c> you?</c>

00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.119
Where<00:35:51.380><c> he</c><00:35:51.539><c> deceived.</c>

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.320

00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:58.260
They<00:35:56.900><c> were</c><00:35:57.119><c> eager</c><00:35:57.360><c> for</c><00:35:57.599><c> the</c><00:35:57.800><c> promises</c>

00:35:58.260 --> 00:36:00.500
but<00:35:59.079><c> they</c><00:35:59.239><c> shouldn't</c><00:35:59.460><c> have</c><00:35:59.639><c> done</c><00:35:59.820><c> that.</c>

00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:04.159
God<00:36:01.159><c> turned</c><00:36:01.599><c> it</c><00:36:02.679><c> to</c><00:36:03.219><c> further</c><00:36:03.460><c> his</c><00:36:03.699><c> purpose.</c>

Be<00:41:44.820><c> warned,</c><00:41:45.980><c> said</c><00:41:46.119><c> Jesus,</c>

00:41:48.059 --> 00:41:50.599

00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:03.300
That's<00:42:00.320><c> what</c><00:42:00.460><c> it</c><00:42:00.659><c> says</c><00:42:00.920><c> in</c><00:42:01.059><c> Luke</c><00:42:01.300><c> 21,</c><00:42:02.079><c> verse</c><00:42:02.639><c> 34.</c>

00:42:03.619 --> 00:42:06.739
Take<00:42:03.920><c> heed</c><00:42:04.219><c> to</c><00:42:04.480><c> yourselves</c><00:42:05.039><c> lest</c><00:42:05.360><c> at</c><00:42:05.659><c> any</c><00:42:06.119><c> time</c>

00:42:11.139 --> 00:42:14.139
and<00:42:11.519><c> the</c><00:42:11.840><c> cares</c><00:42:12.179><c> of</c><00:42:12.659><c> this</c><00:42:12.980><c> life,</c>

00:42:15.059 --> 00:42:18.280

00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.320
We<00:42:19.460><c> can</c><00:42:19.679><c> be</c><00:42:20.039><c> so</c><00:42:20.380><c> easily</c><00:42:21.019><c> distracted</c>

00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:24.599
from<00:42:22.860><c> the</c><00:42:23.119><c> working</c><00:42:23.420><c> hand,</c><00:42:23.920><c> brethren</c><00:42:24.119><c> and</c><00:42:24.380><c> sisters.</c>

00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:28.079
The<00:42:25.199><c> world</c><00:42:25.440><c> is</c><00:42:25.780><c> full</c><00:42:26.239><c> of</c><00:42:26.699><c> intoxicants.</c>

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.000
And<00:42:30.179><c> look</c><00:42:30.280><c> what</c><00:42:30.480><c> Samson</c><00:42:30.920><c> does,</c><00:42:32.440><c> verse</c><00:42:32.699><c> 10.</c>

00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:38.820
So<00:42:35.840><c> his</c><00:42:36.059><c> father</c><00:42:36.320><c> went</c><00:42:36.599><c> down</c><00:42:36.940><c> unto</c><00:42:37.139><c> the</c><00:42:37.360><c> woman,</c>

00:42:39.139 --> 00:42:41.400
and<00:42:39.159><c> Samson</c><00:42:39.519><c> made</c><00:42:39.880><c> there</c><00:42:40.179><c> a</c><00:42:40.440><c> feast,</c>

00:42:41.900 --> 00:42:44.800

00:42:46.619 --> 00:42:49.260
Now,<00:42:47.000><c> it</c><00:42:47.119><c> was</c><00:42:47.300><c> Samson</c><00:42:47.719><c> that</c><00:42:47.940><c> made</c><00:42:48.119><c> the</c><00:42:48.380><c> feast.</c>

00:42:49.900 --> 00:42:53.800
In<00:42:50.300><c> Jewish</c><00:42:50.619><c> circles</c><00:42:51.139><c> it</c><00:42:51.260><c> was</c><00:42:51.460><c> the</c><00:42:51.699><c> parents</c><00:42:52.139><c> that</c><00:42:52.820><c> made</c><00:42:53.260><c> the</c><00:42:53.519><c> feast.</c>

00:42:53.860 --> 00:42:56.679
Remember<00:42:54.239><c> Jacob,</c><00:42:55.119><c> when</c><00:42:55.300><c> he</c><00:42:55.440><c> married</c><00:42:55.739><c> Leah?</c>

00:42:58.260 --> 00:43:00.079
Laban<00:42:58.820><c> made</c><00:42:59.420><c> the</c><00:42:59.699><c> feast.</c>

00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.960
In<00:43:01.159><c> the</c><00:43:01.380><c> parable</c><00:43:01.719><c> of</c><00:43:01.940><c> the</c><00:43:02.099><c> married</c><00:43:02.380><c> supper</c><00:43:02.739><c> of</c><00:43:02.940><c> the</c><00:43:03.099><c> lamb</c><00:43:03.320><c> in</c><00:43:03.920><c> Matthew,</c>

00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:07.539
it's<00:43:05.360><c> the</c><00:43:05.559><c> king</c><00:43:05.880><c> that</c><00:43:06.179><c> made</c><00:43:06.440><c> the</c><00:43:06.679><c> feast.</c>

00:43:07.980 --> 00:43:13.719
So<00:43:08.139><c> here</c><00:43:08.679><c> we're</c><00:43:08.860><c> not</c><00:43:09.099><c> talking</c><00:43:09.480><c> about</c><00:43:10.420><c> a</c><00:43:10.599><c> biblically</c><00:43:11.980><c> based</c><00:43:12.559><c> feast.</c>

00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:16.179
We're<00:43:14.699><c> talking</c><00:43:15.119><c> about</c><00:43:15.539><c> a</c><00:43:15.840><c> feast</c>

00:43:21.699 --> 00:43:25.239
It<00:43:21.820><c> was</c><00:43:22.119><c> a</c><00:43:22.280><c> worldly</c><00:43:22.719><c> bachelor</c><00:43:23.300><c> party,</c><00:43:23.940><c> brethren</c><00:43:24.119><c> and</c><00:43:24.280><c> sisters.</c>

00:43:25.980 --> 00:43:28.539
The<00:43:26.199><c> kind</c><00:43:26.460><c> of</c><00:43:26.659><c> things</c><00:43:26.860><c> that</c><00:43:27.099><c> the</c><00:43:27.280><c> world</c><00:43:27.480><c> gets</c><00:43:27.840><c> involved</c><00:43:28.280><c> in,</c>

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:32.900

00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:37.179
And<00:43:33.320><c> it</c><00:43:33.440><c> goes</c><00:43:33.760><c> on,</c><00:43:34.059><c> verse</c><00:43:34.300><c> 12</c><00:43:34.619><c> tells</c><00:43:34.900><c> us,</c><00:43:35.300><c> for</c><00:43:35.579><c> seven</c><00:43:35.980><c> days.</c>

00:43:37.219 --> 00:43:41.539
What<00:43:37.440><c> was</c><00:43:37.659><c> the</c><00:43:37.900><c> Jew</c><00:43:38.079><c> doing</c><00:43:38.880><c> one</c><00:43:40.380><c> of</c><00:43:40.619><c> those</c><00:43:40.840><c> seven</c><00:43:41.179><c> days</c>

00:51:38.980 --> 00:51:42.340
It's<00:51:39.659><c> an</c><00:51:39.860><c> echo</c><00:51:40.139><c> of</c><00:51:40.460><c> those</c><00:51:40.780><c> fricking</c><00:51:41.139><c> briars</c>

00:52:04.820 --> 00:52:07.139
How<00:52:05.280><c> did</c><00:52:05.460><c> he</c><00:52:05.559><c> deal</c><00:52:05.820><c> with</c><00:52:06.099><c> that?</c>

00:52:08.260 --> 00:52:11.940
The<00:52:08.659><c> messenger</c><00:52:09.099><c> of</c><00:52:09.440><c> Satan</c><00:52:09.639><c> to</c><00:52:10.000><c> buffet</c><00:52:10.239><c> me,</c><00:52:10.980><c> lest</c><00:52:11.119><c> I</c><00:52:11.400><c> should</c><00:52:11.639><c> be</c>

00:52:14.260 --> 00:52:18.780
For<00:52:14.420><c> this</c><00:52:14.719><c> thing</c><00:52:14.940><c> I</c><00:52:15.199><c> besought</c><00:52:15.539><c> the</c><00:52:15.719><c> Lord</c><00:52:16.039><c> thrice</c><00:52:16.500><c> that</c><00:52:16.639><c> it</c><00:52:16.860><c> might</c><00:52:17.019><c> depart</c><00:52:17.420><c> from</c><00:52:17.679><c> me.</c>

00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:23.659
But<00:52:19.500><c> God</c><00:52:19.739><c> said,</c><00:52:20.119><c> My</c><00:52:20.260><c> grace</c><00:52:21.039><c> is</c><00:52:21.820><c> sufficient</c><00:52:22.199><c> for</c><00:52:22.480><c> thee,</c>
