Follow Holy Spirit

1 Samuel 16:13-14

Saul was physically attractive yet insecure…fig leaves don’t remove shame…

Saul was called to defeat Philistines You’re not the first person in your generation to face this enemy but you can become the last one Satan needs to be cast out – he will not leave volunteerly Satan is wrong person to hope for mercy – God is only one…if he is not defeated he will come again

When Holy Spirit departs, enemy troubles Saul, when Holy Spirit is present Jesus troubles enemy Life is reduced to defense instead of offense

Without the anointing your calling becomes the place of your defeat You get wounded by your enemy, you die in the place of victory Land without water is calling without Holy Spirit it’s a recipe for famine. Moses done it without anointing so were sons of priests….. Daughters asked for water so were disciples. Holy Spirit breaks yoke not your calling

Holy Spirit left Saul, but Saul stayed If Saul would of chased the Holy Spirit the way he chased the David, he wouldn’t die in defeat God didn’t let Saul catch David. God didn’t let disciples to catch any fish either…

The mother of Jesus & Joseph went ahead of Jesus Pause and go backwards, don’t go forward without His presence God’s presence is what Moses didn’t want to go without into the journey of promise I would walk in the dark with God than go alone in the light…presence without palace….but opposite

Blessing doesn’t die, but gets passed on Abraham – blessing; Elijah – anointing; Moses – dream; Jesus – mission Medical history – medicine can’t fight curse.
