In this message we look at Samson as the type of the church. A lot of churches have lost the true power of God in their midst. But the church is not a dead body or human institution. It is the living body of Jesus that lives in holiness and purity and that has been baptized with power from on high.

It's not the ultimate vision for the church to be walking around the millstone, moving every part but never reaching a destination never fulfilling the purpose of God. This is not why Jesus purchased you and why the yoke of the enemy was broken over your life. This was happening to Samson and what's happening to many churches today. We are called for more.

There are things we need to fight and pray against but there are also things we should run away from. Samson should have ran away from Delilah. Many Christians today are playing this game of seduction but if you don't run away from it, you're going to fall just like Samson fell. The world thinks they are free. But that's not freedom, it's a form of liberalism.

It is the plan of the enemy to put out the eyes of the church, like the Philistines gouged Samson's eyes. What it leaves is a church that is blinded, because of many different things. A church that is walking on a path that will lead nowhere and will not impact the world for the good but we can have a divine meeting with Christ today and it can change us and put us back on track!

Evangelist John T.L Maasbach starts this powerful series about the hero Samson in the old Testament as a type of the church in the New Testament. Many Christians today are blinded. They are in a position where they are again as slaves. This message is to bring you hope. Today can be the day that God will deliver you out of that place. God wants to activate His power in you today!

Fear is a mighty weapon of the enemy, but don't let fear hold you captive! Fear must be subdued by the promises of God. Nehemiah encouraged the people to get up and fight. Your family, ministry or relationship with God is so much more valuable than the things of this world. God is on your side and it will be through His mighty hand that the wall will be rebuilt.

The enemy's strategy is to ridicule, intimidate, discourage and put great fear on you. Stay focused in rebuilding the wall just like Nehemiah and don't give your time and attention to the enemy.

If you have been cast down, you are the one that God has His eye upon to restore you and use you! God is looking for Nehemiah's today to clear out the rubble and rebuild the walls.

A message especially for those in ministry: Do you think you're not going to make it? Don't surrender to that thought, but receive the Word of the Lord. Pick up those stones again and start building again! It will take time, but the Lord will help us to complete the work and the wall will be finished just like in the story of Nehemiah.

God told David to take the city of the Jebusites, which was a stronghold. David took that city, as no other king could, and the stronghold was broken. Jesus paid the price for every stronghold in your life, so you can be free.
