"The Bald Headed Church"


Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.

Let's look at one other Scripture and that is Judges 16:19: "And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she cause him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him."

When Samson was born, he did not have seven locks of hair. He only had one lock which covered his entire head. So was it with this great United States of America, and so was it with the Great Church of the Living God.

When our God planted His Great Church upon this earth, there was not nine hundred plus different groups, there was only one group.

So was it with this great country we live in, There was not fifty different states each with their own laws.

So, where did these seven locks come from? These fifty states? These nine hundred plus different churches? Surely they did not come from God. This was all man's doing. As Samson's hair began to grow, some one separates it into seven locks. As the great Church of God begins to grow, someone breaks off and starts a little group over there and so it has gone till there are over nine hundred different groups.

So was it with this great country of America. As it began to grow, someone breaks off a small piece and calls it Massachusetts. Another breaks off a piece and calls it something else, till we now have fifty different states in America.

The sad part is this; whether Church or State, it seems that each group is against the other, and sometimes, it seems, if not for any other reason than, "You are not in my group."

Here I wish to point out something which I hope everyone will think about and that is this. Even though Samson's hair was seperated into seven different locks, it ALL came from and was still PART of that one head!!!

And so with this country, we are still part of this one great country.

And believe it or not, this great Church of the Living God, though split into several hundred groups, we are all FROM and still PART of that ONE HEAD, which is Christ!!! There is nothing that will change that fact, and I praise our God for it.

Another thing I would like for you to notice is this; even while Samson's hair was divided, he still won some great victories for Our God as has each and every State in this great Country.

And I want you to know that every Church group has also won some great victories for our God.

If you love our Lord Jesus, I don't care what group you belong to, you are a part of me and I love you.

Having said these things, let us now get into our Message. Notice, his hair began to grow again AFTER it was shaven. Remember it was shaved while in seven different locks, not while it was in one lock. And as soon as it was shaved, he lost his power. I don't believe there is anyone, being fully honest, that can say the Churches has not lost much of it's power over the years. I have seen many churches who manifested the Power of God all at once just seem to die. Church after Church became bald-headed as did Samson.

Notice, Samson never did regain his power till his hair again began to grow. It did not grow back out into seven different locks, but grew as one lock inbedded in One Head.

Notice this; When Samson's hair was shaved, there was two things which he lost. He lost his power but he also lost the thing which kept his hair seperated!!! Amen! It was not until he was shaved that his hair was free from the thing which kept it seperated.

I have noticed on the Internet how that many are casting off those things which kept us seperated, and we are growing together in unity (one lock).

It was after Samson's hair began to grow, after it was shaven when he received the greatest power and the greatest victory of his life. Notice also that it was his going home time. I believe that we are living in the Hour of our going Home time (Rapture) and we need to put off all our differents and come together in true unity of God's Spirit. As we cast off those things which seperate us and come together in one group (God's group) we also will win our greatest victory.

Never let anything bind us together that seperates us from even one of God's children.
