"If it seems that we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God... Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us." - Paul (2 Corinthians 5:12-14)

Sometimes this life sucks. And sometimes you change that.

"Nazir" = consecrated one.

In order for there to be change, there must be a few who will consecrate themselves.

This past week has been a revolutionary week.
The material and lifeless things that once bound me have become meaningless. A passion is rising up that cannot be contained. I desire nothing more than to be a consecrated one.
Take it from Lou:


"When the long hairs let down their locks, the people volunteered" Judges 5:2. This alternate viable translation of Judges 5:2 is the true Braveheart picture of young Nazirite troops rallying their armies of God into Jihad – holy war.

"The custom was this; at times of war, young men would make a vow for victory and begin growing their hair. When the lines were drawn up for battle, these long hairs would let down their locks, revealing their total consecration to death. These were the possessed ones. The loosing of the locks would strike fear in the hearts of their enemies and rally the rest of the troops."
-Lou Engle, The Call to Nazirite Consecration

Many will hear the Call. The Few will respond.
