88 qqqqqTHE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD^ ...divine secrets to the miraculousqqqqq
The men of Judah had bound Samson and
delivered him to the Philistines at Lehi. When the
Philistines saw him bound and came charging
toward him, the Spirit of the Lord came mightily
upon him again and he snapped his bands loose
as if they were flax in the fire. Then he took a
jawbone of an ass and killed a thousand of them
with it.
These were not just one thousand ordinary
men; they were armed men of war that had been
trained in combat. It wasn’t because Samson was
a strong man that he was able to destroy them;
the Bible tells us how he did it—the Spirit of the
Lord came mightily upon him.
When the Spirit of might came upon Samson,
he was a changed man. This doesn’t mean he
didn’t know himself or what he was doing
anymore. But when that Spirit came on him, He
took over his senses and his body, so he couldn’t
think or act like an ordinary man. That was why
he could do extraordinary things.
