(Judges 14:1-4) (New American Standard Bible 1995)
Then Samson went
down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the
Philistines. 2 So he came [a]back and told his father and [b]mother,
“I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now
therefore, get her for me as a wife.” 3…….more scripture…..more
scripture…… But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for
she [e]looks good to me.” 4 However, his father and mother did not
know that it was of the Lord, for He was seeking an occasion against
the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over
Israel.
(Galatians 5:16-17)(New American Standard Bible 1995)
16 But I say,
walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the
flesh. 17 For the flesh [a]sets its desire against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another,
so that you may not do the things that you [b]please.
(Isaiah 55:8-9) (New American Standard Bible 1995)
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
I’ve heard a Charismatic/Pentecostal preacher say something to the following effect:
"When God stirs up the anointing in a person, it also can stir up said person’s fleshly desires."
Therefore, keeping in mind Judges 14:3-4
(Judges 14:3-4) "…..more scripture…more scripture….Samson said
to his father, “Get her for me, for she looks good to me.” 4
However, his father and mother did not know that it was of the Lord,
for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines.
Therefore, keeping in mind Judges 14:3-4, could we infer/deduce that The Holy Spirit’s Unction to stir up Samson’s anointing also stirs up his fleshly desires?
