Sermon Overview
Reidhead explores the three restrictions of the Nazarite: no fruit of the vine (joy from the world), no razor (giving up personal reputation), and no contact with the dead (separation from the self-life). He argues that true "Submission" is not a begrudging obedience but a "Voluntary Separation" unto the Lord for His exclusive pleasure and use.
Key Principles
Voluntary Separation:Treat your "holiness" as a voluntary act of love for the King, not a begrudging rule.
Natural Joy: Be willing to set aside "natural joys" of the world to experience the "supernatural joy" of the Spirit.
Personal Reputation:Let your "hair grow"—refuse to protect your own reputation; let God be your defender.
Old Life Ties: "Cut contact with the dead"—sever every tie to the old, independent "Self-life" that once ruled you.
Submission as Privilege: Re-frame "Submission" as a high privilege and an invitation to intimacy with the Father.
Maintaining the Vow:Be vigilant; realize that one "careless act" can break your sense of consecration and power.
Voluntary Unto Him:Ensure your "separation" is motivated by His pleasure, not by a desire to look "spiritual" to men.
