Wicked Rulers

That he told her all his heart, and said unto her,
There hath not come a rasor upon mine head;
for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb:
if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me,
and I shall become weak, and be like any other man
. Judges 16:17

There will be those who try to take our strength in the Lord.
Samson’s plight was an example of the world and the wicked-godless trying to destroy our faith so we are weary and ineffective.
Keep your strength in the Lord and find out from Jesus and His word how to keep your armor firm and intact without holes and breaches.
Samson allowed his armor to have openings for the enemy.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of His might. 
Put on the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. 
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand. 
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God
: Ephesians 6:10-17
