The Powerful Prayer Of Samson

472

Samson was a Nazarite. He was dedicated to God from birth. As a Nazarite he wasn’t meant to drink alcohol and no razor was meant to touch the hair on his head.

Samson judged Israel for 20 years and he delivered them from the Philistines.

In the cause of judging Israel, Samson made some mistakes, which includes sleeping with a harlot and taking God’s grace upon his life for granted.

This mistake later caught up with him when he told Delilah his secret and he was captured.

At the end of it all Samson died with the Philistines but he killed more enemies while dying than when he was alive.

The reason why Samson was able to kill more enemies while he was dying was because he prayed to God for help.

[h=2]So what prayer did Samson pray?[/h]

Judges 16 [28]

Then Samson prayed to the lord, “Sovereign lord, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me just one more time. With one blow let me pay back the Philistines for the loss of my two eyes.”

[h=2]Remember me again. O God[/h]

Whenever you pray to God to remember you it means you simply want God to have mercy on you. So this is a prayer that you should be praying every day.

The reason why most people are still struggling in life is because they have not been remembered by God. Once God remember you then your struggles begin to end and you’ll begin to enter into the rest of God.

Mordecai, when he was honored while in exile.

Rachael, when she gave birth to Joseph.

Hannah, when she gave birth to Samuel.

Sarah, when she gave birth to Isaac.

You will see that in the lives of these ones, their shame was changed to glory and their struggle was over.

To be remembered also means to be restored. In the case of Samson, he was in good state but later he fell into a bad state, he fell into the hands of his enemies.
