MIDNIGHT DEW: PRAYERS TO UPROOT EVERY GATE OF SIEGE – (PRAYERSFIRE MINISTRY)

18347. JUDGES 16:1-3:

1. Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.

2. And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. AND THEY COMPASSED HIM IN, and LAID WAIT FOR HIM ALL NIGHT in THE GATE of the city, and WERE QUIET ALL THE NIGHT, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.

3. And SAMPSON LAY TILL MIDNIGHT, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill that is before Hebron

1. THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IS ONE OF THE MANY MYSTERIOUS EXPLOITS OF SAMSON, A JUDGE AND LEADER IN ISRAEL. IT IS A REMINDER OF THE LONGSUFFERING OF GOD.

2. SAMSON DID NOT GO TO GAZA TO DO ANY NOBLE THING. HE WENT THERE TO COMMIT SEXUAL IMMORALITY WITH A PROSTITUTE. MANY TIMES WHEN WE COMMIT SINS AGAINST GOD, AND HE KEPT QUIET, WE FOOLISHLY THINK HE DOES NOT EXIST (PSALM 14:1; PSALM 53:1),OR HE WAS TOO BUSY TO KNOW WHAT WE DID, AND WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS SILENCE TO JUSTIFY OUR EVIL DEEDS. (ECCLESIASTES 8:11) “Because sentence against an evil deed is not carried out quickly, the heart of {humans} fills up within them to do evil.”

3. GOD’S SILENCE IS FEARSOME. IT IS THE DREADFUL AND UNEASY PEACE BEFORE A TURBULENT AND VIOLENT STORM. MANY TIMES, PEOPLE ARE CARRIED AWAY BY THE EUPHORIA OF MIRACLES, SIGNS, AND WONDERS, AND EVEN USE THEM TO DISMISS INIQUITIES OF THE PULPIT BECAUSE GOD WAS SILENT 😶.

4. THE ENEMY PLOTTED AGAINST SAMSON IN QUIETNESS (JUDGES 16:2), WHY SO? THE REASON IS THAT EVERY WARFARE HAS AN ELEMENT OF RECONNAISSANCE AND SURPRISE IF IT MUST SUCCEED. YOUR ENEMIES WANT TO SUCCEED AGAINST YOU, YOU TOO MUST PLAN AND SUCCEED AGAINST THEM IN JESUS NAME

5. THE ENEMY SURROUNDED AND LAID A SIEGE WAITING TO AMBUSH SAMSON AT THE GATE.

WHY DID SAMSON WAIT TILL MIDNIGHT?
SAMSON TO LAID WAIT ON THE BED 🛏 WAITING FOR MIDNIGHT DEW TO FALL UPON HIM BEFORE GOING TO WAT AGAINST THE ENEMY.

6. ONE STRANGE THING ABOUT THIS PASSAGE IS THAT EVERY ELABORATE AND DESPERATE PLOT OF THE ENEMY FIZZLED AND FADED AWAY LIKE Smoke (PSALM 68:1-2) “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God”

NOTHING WAS MENTIONED AGAIN ABOUT THE ENEMY. AS SOON AS SAMSON UPROOTED THE GATE AND SIDE-POSTS AND LINTEL, THAT WAS THE END OF THE ENEMY. THEY FADED AWAY LIKE SMOKE. MAY EVERY BESETTING ADVERSITIES AND BESIEGING ADVERSARIES OF YOUR LIFE MELT AWAY! FADE AWAY! AND BE DRIVEN AWAY LIKE SMOKE BY THE WHIRLWIND 🌪️ 🌪️ 🌪️ OF TALIA, IN THE NAME OF JESUS

7. EVERY SATANIC AMBUSH PLOTTED AGAINST MY LIFE, FAMILY, CAREER, BUSINESS, MINISTRY, FINANCES, AND DESTINY: SCATTER UNTO DESOLATION AND FADE AWAY LIKE SMOKE NOOOOOOWWWWWW IN THE NAME OF JESUS

8. EVERY GATE OF FAILURE, POVERTY, LACK, AND WANTS FASHIONED AGAINST MY DESTINY BREAKTHROUGHS, CRUMBLE TO DUST NOW AND BE SWEPT AWAY 💨💨💨 BY THE VIOLENT WHIRLWIND 🌪️🌪️🌪️ OF THE HOLY GHOST, IN THE NAME OF JESUS

9. MY FATHER, LET YOUR SILENCE CONVICT AND CONVERT ME FROM THE WAY OF SIN AND SINNERS, NEVER LET ME TAKE YOUR SILENCE FOR GRANTED AGAIN AND FOREVER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS

10. LET EVERY MIDNIGHT BATTLE WAGED AGAINST MY LIFE AND FAMILY PERISH WITH ALL THEIR COMBATANTS WITHOUT ESCAPE, WITHOUT MERCY, WITHOUT SURVIVOR, AND WITHOUT REMNANTS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
