“Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes. That's not the whole part yet, y'all. Okay? But I do want you to I do want you to notice this though, the gouging out of the eyes, He was spiritually blind, and now the gouging out of his eyes is representation of what his spirit looks like. He spiritually cannot see, and now he physically cannot see. The Philistine seized him and gouged out his eyes. The very thing that got him in trouble, the very thing that caused him to lust in his heart, the very thing that caused him to pick the wrong women in the first place is the very thing that they gouge out.”

“참 좋으신 아버지 하나님, 이제까지 지내온 모든 것들이 하나님의 은혜이고 당연한 것 하나 없이 우리가 이렇게 자유의 땅에서 마음껏 예수님을 믿고 교회 나와서 예배도 드리고 찬송도 부르며 사랑하는 성도들과 만남과 교제의 축복을 누릴 수 있는 것도 하나님의 은혜이신 줄로 믿습니다. 핍박받는 땅에 고통받는 사람들을 잊지 말게 하여 주시옵소서. 북한 땅에서뿐만 아니라 선교사님들이 가서 복음 전할 수 없는 모슬램이나 가난한 나라나 복음이 거절당하는 세상 곳곳에 모든 곳에 잃어버린 영혼들을 기억하고 안타까운 마음으로 저들이 다시 돌아와 하나님 아버지의 자녀 되기를 원하시는 그 마음을 기억할 수 있게 하여 주시옵시고, 우리도 하나님의 역사하심을 따라 때를 어떤지 못 어떤지 복음을 전하여 천하보다 귀한 한 영혼이라도 주님 앞으로 인도할 수 있는 전도자의 사명을 감당할 수 있도록 우리를 사용하여 주시옵소서.”
