The Holy Spirit in the Bible – 1SAMUEL
10:6 “Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you (Saul), and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man”.
1 Samuel 10:9 “So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him (Saul) another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day."
1 Samuel 10:10 “When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him (Saul), and he prophesied among them."
The making of the king and prophet, only possible through the dealing by the Holy Spirit.
1 Samuel 11:6 “Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger aroused.” When the Holy Spirit stirs up anger in us, we do not act foolishly. Our action leads us to victory over unbearable situations.
1 Samuel 16:13 “Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him (David) in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.”
The choice of David as the king of Israel was by the Spirit of the Lord. Our continued consciousness and sensitivity of the Holy Spirit can set us on kingly levels, even among our peers. By the Spirit, we are expected to rule together with Christ.
1 Samuel 16:14 “But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing Spirit (disturbing spirit) from the Lord troubled him.”
We should not allow the Spirit of God depart from us, for such an action can warrant divine permission for the contrary spirits to find access into one’s life. (Jn. 12:43-45).
1 Samuel 19:20 "Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied” (Read Verses 20-23).
1 Samuel 19:23 “… then the Spirit of God was upon him (Saul) also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah." The struggle Saul had against David was unnecessary. Taking a look at Samuel and the group of prophets made the messengers and Saul to submit to the Holy Spirit who was in charge of the operation at hand. But king Saul ended up stripped naked all day and night under the Holy Ghost charge. What trouble they cause themselves, those who try to persecute Spirit-filled believers!
