We have been called as spiritual warriors - Called by a God of War – Psalm 45
Lord of Sabaoth – Lord of Armies
Ps 45:3 Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty. 4 And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things. 5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; The peoples fall under You.

8. Spiritual Nazarite, Spiritual Warfare
We have been called as spiritual warriors - Called by a God of War – Psalm 45 - Waging spiritual war – 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

9. Spiritual Nazarite, Spiritual Warfare
We have been called as spiritual warriors - Called by a God of War – Psalm 45 - Waging spiritual war – 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 - Mindset of warriors – 2 Timothy 2:3-7
2Ti 2:3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.6 The hard-working farmer must be first to partake of the crops.7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

10. Samson’s Example - Using God’s strength Ephesians 6:10-17 Hebrews 4:12
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

11. Samson’s Example
- Using God’s strength - Strengthened by our virtues Titus 2:7-8 1 Timothy 4:12
Tit 2:7 in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, 8 sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
1Ti 4:12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.

12. Samson’s Example
- Using God’s strength - Strengthened by our virtues - Sustained by Enhakkore John 7:38-39
Joh 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

13. Samson: A Model Soldier
Fought in the Lord Sustained by His vows All drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4
