E-4 But I said this, that God can use what you yield. Like Samson, Samson would not yield his heart to God. He give that to Delilah. But he gave his strength to God, and God could only use his strength. That's all.

E-68 Now if He could just ever find Him a man, one man, that He could get in his hand, He'll do it. See? He's had such a hard time finding one man. I think of Samson. He found a man with plenty of strength. And Samson dedicated his strength to God. But he wouldn't give his heart. He gave that to Delilah. See? God wants your heart, strength, soul, body, mind, all you got. It's the only way He can use you, use the whole man. Yes.
45 Now, Samson gave God His strength to use, but he didn't give God his heart. He gave his heart to Delilah and gave his strength to God. But you've got to surrender soul, body, spirit, strength, everything you are to the will of God, become a prisoner to Him. You're going to be somebody's prisoner. You don't belong to yourself. You're somebody's prisoner. You're either a prisoner of the devil, knowing there's truth and won't surrender to it, or a prisoner to--to the world, and surrender to God, one or the other. You're either the devil's prisoner to sin, or you're God's prisoner to righteousness. You're one or the other.
