Baby Monsters

Levi Lusko  - Fresh Life Church

Judges 16: 16-20

Sampson

He discovered the power of monsters when you let them get big.

What happens when you don't keep a secret?

Declaring to God that you're dependent on Him.

Psalm 25

The secret

It started with a small compromise.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

There are temptations what we make harder on ourselves.

Not supposed to drink : Sampson was in the vineyard.

Not supposed to touch anything dead : getting honey out without touching the lion.

What is going on in your life that you're not telling people about?

Being evasive.

Almost touching dead things. Almost drinking alcohol.

Slowly desensitized.

There's always a call of God on your life.

Twenty years from now you could be scarily far from where God has called you.

The seed for every sin is in every heart.

How far can I stray from God but still technically be with Him.

Romans 13:14

Make no provision

Knowing sin wants to get in, and the enemy wants to mess us up, your thought should be a lifetime of pleasing God!

1 Corinthians 10:12

Sampson thought, I'm strong enough to handle this.

Do something crazy to your sin so that your sin doesn't do something crazy to you!

Anything that keeps me from Your will, I will treat like a tumor and cut it out!

Sampson was taken out.

It should scare you so bad that you're saying, 'I don't want that to be my story!'

When you ignore God's instruction you reject His protection.

After he was taken out he gets a fresh start. It took him losing his sight to really see how things were. Judges 16:22 the hairs of his head began to grow back. His story ends in humility.

It's not too late.

Your best days could come after your biggest failure.
