220913 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD 1Samuel 16:13-16 1Samuel 16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah. DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: In the Old Testament times, whenever there is a battle to be fought, the Spirit of the Lord comes over God’s chosen vessel. You cannot do warfare successfully without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of the Lord empowers men and women for victory; the Spirit of the Lord delivers the strategy for victory. You cannot have any major victory, without the ministry of the Spirit of the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord is a Warfare Strategist. He knows the strategy that wins every battle. He instructs and causes men to prevail over the battles of life. When the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, he lost the ability for victory. David, upon whom the Spirit of the Lord has just come, was divinely arranged to take up the battle against Goliath. He won the victory, not by the power of a sling, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. Victory always goes to the man that is in partnership with the Spirit of the Lord, and submits to His leadership. APPLICATION: If you are not yet baptised in the Holy Spirit, ask Him to come upon you today. PRAYER FOCUS: Lord Jesus, You are the One that baptise with the Holy Spirit and fire, I call upon You today, to baptise me with Your Holy Spirit. BIBLE READING John 19 John 20 John 21 Psalms 142
