Samuel meets Saul. Saul is told what to do, how to do it, is filled and built up and told to go.If you’re going to be useful to God, there are some basic boxes that have to be checked.Look at v 9-10 9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel,He turns away from Samuel, God gives him a new heart, the signs come to pass, He meets prophets, the spirit of God comes upon him and he himself prophesies among them.Powerful powerful stuff that happens in his life. He’s being empowered to become kingYou need empowerment to be able to live this life.None of that would have happened if he hadn’t turned his back on Samuel. The talking time was over. It was now the doing time.He had to go and do what he was supposed to do, but turned his back- changed his direction- turned the way that he was going- started going in a new directionAre you willing to turn your back? Are you willing to do what it takes to be used by God?
To turn your back You must be filled with the Holy Spirit
1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: “Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance?This was the beginning of Saul’s transformation. Oil was the symbol of the Holy Spirit and when the anointing of a priest/king was to happen, the oil was the symbol of the HS being upon themBig guys in the Bible were always filled. Acts 4:8 Peter, Filled with the Spirit Acts 13:9 Paul, filled with the spirit Luke 4:1 Jesus, full of the spiritExodus 28-30 Outlines Oil and priests and consecration. This is the moment for Saul. Its not just an oil bath, it is a baptism of the Holy Spirit upon him.Saul couldn’t serve God, do what he was supposed to do without the Holy SpiritKing Nebuchanezzer in the OT said of Daniel that he had the Holy Spirit. Its Seen!
What does it mean to you?Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? This is the most important component of your spiritual success. Salvation is the first part of your experience of Faith, but you must be filled!John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.Its how we live! Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,It’s a promise! Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.Father- Repentance Son- Forgiveness Holy Spirit- IndwellingEphesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.I thes 5:19 Do not Quench the SpiritGalatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.The calling of God comes from outside, not inside. There will always be confirmation outsideSamuel was doing what God told him to do, not what Saul asked him to do
Here’s the issue- many people have made an agreement to follow Jesus, have repented from their sin, but they haven’t had a ‘moment’ With the holy Spirit.We’re not going to go into the specifics right now- but the truth is that you’ll know when you receive it, you’ll know if you have it, and you’ll know if you don’t.If you ask the Father for it, he will give it to you. If you seek for it you will find it.But you must ask for it. You need it to live in this world. If you don’t have the spirit you wont make itGetting donuts in college- vw bus out of gas in downtown seattle at 7amGalatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
