IS SAUL ONE OF THE PROPHETS? - Taken Over Series 003
I Samuel 10:11, KJV
"11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
I told you yesterday that once you're taken over, you might give off or be used for what you've never been known for before. What you must know is that humanity is frail and spotted with inadequacies. We're only made complete, strong and become he that can do all things only through He that strengthens us. It is that act of strengthening you and I that lead to the impacting of a God ability into us so that we'll be able to do what we couldn't have done before. That's God's equipping of you as a minister of the gospel. That's God's ministration to you to arm you up. Meanwhile, through you, others will receive God's energia to be able to do what they couldn't have done before. That's when chains will be loosen, the insane will become sane, the deaf hears, the blind sees etc. However, you must know that God's concentration today is on the fact that He gives you dynamite (power) even where you're most weak as to qualify you to minister to others. This is true and a worthy saying that once a man is taken over, he becomes reputed for all the good he couldn't do before.
As predicted by Samuel to Saul, certain signs shall follow after his having been anointed secretly as king over Israel. One of these is to be taken over and prophesy himself.
I Samuel 10:5-6, KJV
"5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: 6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man".
I'm still talking on being taken over and I hope you saw that it's well expressed in the verses above. Samuel promised Saul that the Spirit of the Lord (Holy Spirit) will come upon him and when He does, what shall be the consequence? He [Saul] shall prophesy with established and known prophets. Mark that! That has never been the experience of Saul. In no place do we have record of Saul prophesying until this time. That is a manifestation of having been taken over. Do understand that being taken over also means the Holy Spirit coming on you. Saul could therefore do nothing [or manifest any mighty work] until the Holy Spirit had come on him. If the Holy Spirit never did, he wouldn't have been taken over [as a vessel to be used] and will never for once be reputed to have prophesied or be taken for one of the prophets. Brethren, Jesus while speaking said something that fits the Spirit of God coming on Saul. He says in John 6:63 that "it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing..." Did you see the Spirit in action in an ordinary man's life today? That's why it's the Spirit that quickens [or benefits] us, the flesh profits nothing - brings no profit [except ruins].
You can do what you have never done before or be known for what you've never been known for before. All that will come to pass when the Spirit that quickens, enables and inspires come on you. When the Spirit came on me, I began to write and then author daily. Writing daily is not consequent to my having studied English. No! I'm just poor me without the Holy Spirit. It's rather because it's the Spirit that quickens. Once the Spirit comes, disability is changed and revamped to ability. You immediately become strong and enter into the rank of those known for a vocation or calling. Just like Saul, people would ask, "is he now among the exhorters, teachers, prophets and holy minstrels?".
Today, an ability will come on you. I call it the energia of God. It shall arm you up and give you a new reputation. You shall therefore enter into calling and be known in the calling. So shall it be.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive your energia that makes an ordinary man able. Today, I am armed for ministration.
