Judges 14: 1-2
Going to the source leads us to repentance and frees us from guilt.
Sanson Descends. Judges 14: 1-2
Sanson descended geographically and spiritually started the path to his failure due to a personal desire motivated by his desires and passions.
Every problem, crisis or anguish, has an origin many times or almost always we only focus on the problem.
Judges 16: 4-6 in this chapter we see that Samson has given free rein to his desires and putting aside his God-given assignment, when a man (woman) identifies with sin, he begins to lose Divine assignment and the enemy take authority over it. Give the enemy an inch and he'll take you a mile. When we stop thinking as children of God and begin to think as men, the matter becomes complicated.
Judges 16:21, 25 When the problem takes hold, only God can help us, Sanson ended up blind, lost his eyes, prisoner and made me laugh at the Philistines
But he did not lose the Mercy of God that when Sanson cried out to God, he responded and fulfilled his mission by paying with his life.
The origin: Judges 13: 2-4, 12-14 In God the beginning is good, everything begins with a blessing, you and I decide if our walk is for better or for worse, so we do not blame God when we have been the ones who we go off purpose and off our assignment.
2. David is rebuked. 2. Samuel 12: 1-7
Be careful with what we look at and keep our eyes on it, David did not imagine that this king's strategy would bring him great problems in his life and family, his strategies were supported for war but not to destroy a marriage, let's be careful the fire that we are going to stoke.
2. Samuel 13: 1 Amnon brother of Tamar fell in love with her own sister, the consequences for David were of anguish and pain, having destroyed a marriage and family cost him his, caused mourning, and mourning was his turn.

2 Samuel 11: 1-2 David saw what he should not treasure. The origin
1 It happened the following year, at the time kings go out to war, that David sent Joab, and with him his servants, and all Israel, and they destroyed the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah; but David stayed in Jerusalem.
2 And it happened one day, in the evening, that David got up from his bed and was walking on the roof of the royal house; and he saw from the roof a woman who was bathing, who was very beautiful.
David could not avoid seeing but he could avoid continuing to see and wanting the forbidden, do not regret if at the beginning he did not think as a son of God and King.
Many times we can avoid conflicts, of the eyes, the mind, and the desires of the heart, they become treacherous if we do not have the wisdom and the fear of God.
3. Our desires can make us forget the glory of God. 1 Kings 11: 3-6
Be very careful with our heart and with our years, adulthood is sometimes high risk, andropause. But look at Salomon.
Solomon had the privilege that many may have wanted to experience that encounter with God.
1 Kings 11: 9-11 listen he was angry against Solomon, how many times will we have God with anger? , Salomon and Saul saw it ugly against God, lest our attitude is offending God.
James 4: 4-5
4 O adulterous souls! Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity against God? Anyone, then, who wants to be a friend of the world, constitutes himself an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think that Scripture says in vain: The Spirit that he has caused to dwell in us jealously longs for us?
The Origin of King Solomon 1. Kings 3: 3,5-12, 1. Kings 9: 1-5
That led you to lose your first love, if your beginning was full of favor, mercy and grace.
Revelation 2: 4-5
4 But I have against you, that you have left your first love.
Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works; otherwise, I will soon come to you, and remove your lampstand from its place, if you have not repented.
