Numbers 6: [1] Then the Lord said to Moses, [2] “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. “If any of the people, either men or women, take the special vow of a Nazarite, setting themselves apart to the Lord in a special way, [3] they must give up wine and other alcoholic drinks. They must not use vinegar made from wine or from other alcoholic drinks, they must not drink fresh grape juice, and they must not eat grapes or raisins. [4] As long as they are bound by their Nazarite vow, they are not allowed to eat or drink anything that comes from a grapevine—not even the grape seeds or skins. [5] “They must never cut their hair throughout the time of their vow, for they are holy and set apart to the Lord. Until the time of their vow has been fulfilled, they must let their hair grow long. [6] And they must not go near a dead body during the entire period of their vow to the Lord. [7] Even if the dead person is their own father, mother, brother, or sister, they must not defile themselves, for the hair on their head is the symbol of their separation to God. [8] This requirement applies as long as they are set apart to the Lord. [9] “If someone falls dead beside them, the hair they have dedicated will be defiled. They must wait for seven days and then shave their heads. Then they will be cleansed from their defilement. [10] On the eighth day they must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle. [11] The priest will offer one of the birds for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way, he will purify them from the guilt they incurred through contact with the dead body. Then they must reaffirm their commitment and let their hair begin to grow again. [12] The days of their vow that were completed before their defilement no longer count. They must rededicate themselves to the Lord as a Nazarite for the full term of their vow, and each must bring a one-year-old male lamb for a guilt offering. [13] “This is the ritual law for Nazirites. At the conclusion of their time of separation as Nazirites, they must each go to the entrance of the Tabernacle [14] and offer their sacrifices to the Lord: a one-year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a peace offering, [15] a basket of bread made without yeast—cakes of choice flour mixed with olive oil and wafers spread with olive oil—along with their prescribed grain offerings and liquid offerings. [16] The priest will present these offerings before the Lord: first the sin offering and the burnt offering; [17] then the ram for a peace offering, along with the basket of bread made without yeast. The priest must also present the prescribed grain offering and liquid offering to the Lord. [18] “Then the Nazirites will shave their heads at the entrance of the Tabernacle. They will take the hair that had been dedicated and place it on the fire beneath the peace-offering sacrifice. [19] After the Nazirite’s head has been shaved, the priest will take for each of them the boiled shoulder of the ram, and he will take from the basket a cake and a wafer made without yeast. He will put them all into the Nazirite’s hands. [20] Then the priest will lift them up as a special offering before the Lord. These are holy portions for the priest, along with the breast of the special offering and the thigh of the sacred offering that are lifted up before the Lord. After this ceremony the Nazirites may again drink wine. [21] “This is the ritual law of the Nazirites, who vow to bring these offerings to the Lord. They may also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. And they must be careful to do whatever they vowed when they set themselves apart as Nazirites.” [22] Then the Lord said to Moses, [23] “Tell Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: [24] ‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. [25] May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. [26] May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’ [27] Whenever Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel in my name, I myself will bless them.”

A Nazirite (or Nazarite) vow is a voluntary, temporary, or sometimes lifelong, commitment in biblical history where an individual consecrates themselves entirely to God, as outlined in Numbers 6:1-21. It involves three main restrictions: abstaining from wine and all grape products, not cutting hair, and avoiding contact with dead bodies. [1, 2, 3]

Key Elements of the Nazirite Vow:

Voluntary Separation: Open to both men and women, this vow represents a special, consecrated status (“separated to the LORD”).

Four Key Restrictions:

Abstinence: No wine, “strong drink,” vinegar, fresh grapes, or raisins—nothing from the grapevine.

Uncut Hair: No razor allowed on the head for the duration of the vow, symbolizing their dedication.

Ritual Purity: No contact with dead bodies, including immediate family (parents, siblings), to maintain holiness.

Completion & Sacrifice: Upon finishing the vow, the Nazirite shaved their hair, burned it in the sacrificial fire, and brought specific offerings, allowing them to drink wine again.

Although the Nazirite vow is an Old Testament concept, there is a New Testament parallel to the Nazirite vow. In Romans 12:1-2 Paul states, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” For Christians, the ancient Nazirite vow symbolizes the need to be separate from this world, a holy people consecrated to God (2 Timothy 1:9; 1 Peter 1:15).

May 7, 2026. Yesterday I woke up with an urgency to go over to “my mother and brother’s” apartment, after hearing to listening and read the word from the Bible in Numbers 6. The Bible is so amazing, as we can read it many times and we learn something new each time. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

I was led to take a taxi from an online app, as the money was in the bank card. I put on the full armor, as we read in Ephesians 6:10-18 and covering of the blood of Jesus, not literally, spiritually, as the Holy Spirit lives in us, so the Lord’s blood lives in us and covers us, as separated vessels for the Lord. When arriving to the place; “my brother” and the principalities of Balaam and Leviathan that possess him, until he repents and comes to Jesus, was arriving and mumbled some words such as you were waiting for me to arrive to come up, something like that, then I was going to leave from downstairs and the “mother” came down so fast, which the darkness makes her fast, as she is almost 80, has a cane and when Jezabel possess her the face changes and she walks very fast. She came down to tell me she was going to call the police and have me investigated, as things are happening in her apartment, to which then “the brother”, her son started taking pictures and videos of me, as she and I were still downstairs, with the Holy Spirit prompting me to rebuke and take authority in that moment in Jesus name, letting what is possessing them know that the Holy Spirit lives in me, that the Holy Spirit has given me understanding of why they have treated me the way they all have treated me since I was a child, that they have all been instruments of the enemy until they repent and come to Jesus. A lot of mean things came out of her mouth, as the Bible teaches us that what comes out of our mouth is what is in our hearts. I told her we could go to the police together, as the Holy Spirit has sent me there to share the Good News of Jesus and them say the prayer of salvation. In Jesus name. I then left and she sent me a message that she will keep looking into whatever is going on in her apartment.

I was then led to walk to a specific area, to also go see a woman that has a souvenir store with her husband, who has been discipled and prayed with since last year. On the way there; people received the Good News of Jesus, as the Holy Spirit led, with specific people saying the prayer of Salvation, as the Holy Spirit led me. Then I was led to stay in the store with the sister in Christ, as people came in, they received as the Holy Spirit led, with some internet “influencers” walking by and also being prayed for and receiving the Holy Spirit. Couples were anointed, confirmed and given words. People were prayed for deliverance and refilling of the Holy Spirit, given accessories as the Holy Spirit led. The Holy Spirit and HIS ways. We just have to be obedient. The maturity and the filling of the Holy Spirit will depend on the daily surrender to the Lord and reading of HIS word in the Bible everyday. The sister in Christ was led to give me $2,000 Dominican pesos, get me lunch and lemonade juice, which were exactly what was needed for the items that needed to be bought in the supermarket, a sleeping gown, as well as a yellow amber ring led to be bought by the Holy Spirit, as a reminder of HIS love and anointing, to be worn as HE leads. In each place the Good News of Jesus was shared out loud. I then walked back to the place the Holy Spirit has me, being led to share the Good News of Jesus paper on the way in the different businesses, very tired, as a lot comes out of us when doing the Great Commission with the Holy Spirit, but the Lord gives us time to refill, recharge, as HE did when HE was here as a man and would go to the mountain to refill and recharge. I was led to let the owner of this place know to extend the stay for 30 more days, who has been ministered and has said the prayer of salvation and trusted in the Lord for the provision for the rent, which is around $800 dollars for the 30 days, as she blocked the days by faith, she kept saying to not worry, tranquila, in Spanish. The Holy Spirit will make a way for the payment and will move those obedient vessels, as HE always does, in Jesus’s name. I heard not to limit HIM. The Lord will make a way. Today I was led to say in and rest and receive from the Holy Spirit, with also sharing teachings and testimonies with the different disciples the Holy Spirit has led to share with from the phone in different nations. All for our souls and other people’s souls in the Great Commission. Those who are meant to understand will always understand, in Jesus’s name.

Matthew 16: 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?[a] Is anything worth more than your soul?

Luke 8: 46 But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” We can also read about this in Matthew, Mark and Luke, as they all confirm with one another.

Exodus 20: “Remember to observe the Sabbath (Sabbath means rest) day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

Luke 6: 12 One day soon afterward Jesus went up on a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.

Revelations 2: 29 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.
