I'm considering dedicating my life to the Lord through a Nazarite Vow, but first I would like to do some research. I'm reading what I can find about it, and I'd like to hear what you all have to say. Does anyone have any experience in this?

Do you have to shave your head before you start it? Has anyone done this? what was it like?

Thanks

no cutting your hair, no sex or marriage, and no wine or alchohol. and the nazarites did this since they were born.
Just make sure your doing this to bring God glory and not to have glory of men.

Well, I don't think its needed to dedicate yourself to Christ, but if that's what you want to do, ok. As for shaving your head, all I can say is, "what"? I'm sure there are others who took the Nazarite Vow in the Bible, but the only one I can think of is Samson. So him to take that vow and shave his head?!!? That's what got him in trouble! If anything, DON'T shave your head if you are going to take that vow!

I'm already married. It doesn't say anything in the bible that I can find about no sex or marriage. Married women were even allowed to take the vow with the permission of their husbands.

Edit: Also I meant that are you supposed to shave it before you start and grow it from there? I know not to shave your head if you start the vow.

thanks for the info. I am not sure what the point of taking the vow is? Are you just interested in a special devotion to God for a time?

I'm not sure. Lol that's the thing I've just been driven to do it. I feel moved to take this vow. I guess I'll find out why when He wants me to find out why.
