Judges 16: 16-20

Sampson’s mother was obedient to the word of God and raised him accordingly. Sampson saw Deliah of the Philistines and fell in love and sought to marry her.

However, Deliah’s heart was always with her people, not her husband. She asked Sampson the secret of his strength so she can tell her people. At first Sampson would not tell her the truth, would make up stores. Time and time again, she would tell the Philistines and they would use the information against Sampson. Deliah turn the heat up on Sampson, until he got tired of per pestering, that he finally told her the truth. As she did at other times, she told the Phillistine’s, and again they use it to attack Sampson. This time it worked.

Be careful who you tell your secrets to. The words that God speaks to you are precious and not everyone can hear (believe or receive) them as you do. It is not for them. These secrets are between you and God. God is working behind the scenes to bring the vision to pass.

People will attack you for your strength (anointing). They will mock you and plot against you to prevent the plan of God from coming to pass. You have to trust God enough to trust he will do what he said, and not need validation from others. God does not need the approval of others to bless you.
