It was brought up that Samson is mentioned in this chapter, even though he failed miserably. But at the end he remembered who he was, and that faith produced an action which brought the whole pagan thing down.

I got a flash at that moment that spoke to me like this: "What if this is how the church (all of us) will finish!?" That is, perhaps the church will realize who we really are, like Samson, and then bring the whole darn thing down. Christendom is what it is (I'll leave you to fill in that blank), but God sees faith!

So what if we pray that those in the LC will see who they really are? Just members of the body of Christ (not some special, elite corp of overcomers), who are in love with other members of His body.

Yet... how about dropping the elite corp and just focusing on overcomers.... according to Revelation 2 & 3.

What we see there is that the churches do not achieve the Lord's purpose and so He calls the overcomers to fulfill what the churches should be doing.

How about that?

We just all need to remember and see who we are in Christ, no mater whatever teaching He has put us under. When that happens it will result in glorious oneness (that is, we will all see He has already made us one). Who knows what that will look like!? But it could happen in an instant - like Samson, who realized who he was and finished well.
