You are having a baby!!!  This was heavens announcement to Samson’s mom. Sometimes when God is ready to reveal something, it will not always come the way we think it will or has in times past.  We must stay open to the leading of God.  God chose to tell the woman first instead of her husband.  Too every man that fights for his place and says if it was God he would tell you first---examine the scriptures.  God talks to women and it is important that you listen. 

I love the way the Lord has a way of humbling us.  If we don’t humble ourselves then he allows life lessons to teach us. I laughed when I first read the announcement of Samson’s birth to his mother.  I had to reread it.  The angel comes to tell his mom, who was barren and proclaims the assignment and requirements for his life.  Sometimes God will tell her first.

She goes and tells her husband and he prays that God would send the angel back and tell him too.  God is so merciful and he does it.  Wouldn’t it be great ladies, if we could just get God to do this today? It would save us some meals, some heartaches, possibly the marriage and even their lives.

You may be saying, I’m not having a baby so what does this have to do with me?  Maybe not a natural one but maybe you are about to give birth to an assignment.  God wants to do something brand new in your life through your situation and no one else around you has ever done it before.  Samson represented a time of judgment.  His people had been obsessed for 40 years and God was ready to deliver them. 

When God gets ready to raise up a deliverers anointing like Samson, he gives you the ability to do what others around you cannot do.  Samson was stronger than most.  Spiritually, you are able to do exploits that ordinarily would be impossible naturally but with faith all things are possible.  Your faith is going to make the difference and set you apart.  Don’t allow the barrenness of your situation to make you believe that it is impossible to give birth to what God has placed on the inside of you. God is requiring that you walk by faith and not by sight.  It’s coming without the permission of man!

Judges 13:3, 6-9

A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was childless, unable to give birth. 3The angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, “You are barren and childless, but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son.

6Then the woman went to her husband and told him, “A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel of God, very awesome. I didn’t ask him where he came from, and he didn’t tell me his name. 7But he said to me, ‘You will become pregnant and have a son. Now then, drink no wine or other fermented drink and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from the womb until the day of his death.’ ”

8Then Manoah prayed to the Lord: “Pardon your servant, Lord. I beg you to let the man of God you sent to us come again to teach us how to bring up the boy who is to be born.”

9God heard Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was out in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her. 10The woman hurried to tell her husband, “He’s here! The man who appeared to me the other day!”
