And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast

mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou

mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou

weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.

Judges 16:13

 

I want you to see that Samson had begun to touch

the very key to his anointing. He had played the other

three times but now he was starting to touch the covering

of the anointing of God on his life. He even mentioned

part of the secret which was his hair.

 

He didn’t tell them to shave him, but he told them

to make seven locks of his hair and then to bind it up and

fasten it. This is what Delilah did.

 

There were a lot of weavers in those days. They

would weave carpets and clothing and all kinds of things.

That’s what Samson was saying. “Weave all my seven

locks into the weaver’s beam. Then I’ll be weak.” He

didn’t give the secret, but he was touching the very source

of the anointing on his life.

 

And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him,

The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked

out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the

beam, and with the web.

 

And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love

thee, when thine heart is not with me? Thou hast

mocked me these three times, and hast not told me

wherein thy great strength lieth.

 

And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with

her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed

unto death.

Judges 16:14-16

 

She did what only a woman could do. It must

have been hell on earth. Nag, nag, nag, nag, nag.

Morning, noon, and night. “You don’t love me.”

It was so bad that his soul was vexed unto death.

Samson wanted to die. That’s how bad it was. This

woman went on and on and on so that he wanted to die.

 

He said, “My soul is vexed to death.” Some women have

that ability. She bugged him and bugged him, until he

told her all his heart.

 

That’s what the enemy wants to do. He wants to

get you to a place where you open your heart and

compromise the very deep things of God and lose your

effectiveness for the Lord Jesus Christ.
