3 ”Then you will go on from there until you reach the great tree of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there. One will be carrying three young goats, another three loaves of bread, and another a skin of wine. 4 They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from them. 5 ”After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, tambourines, flutes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying.
Samuel is prophesying exact directions on what needs to be done and what he needs to receive. All of it being specific prophetic direction and showing that there is a plan laid out by God and He just needs to follow it. It is awesome to know that God sees our life at a different angle then we see it. He sees every step and every detail. I love how God can speak on where you need to go, who you need to talk to, what you need to receive, what needs to happen. I love the fact that God’s word can lead us through anything and answer any questions.
I think so often I get stuck trying to figure out what my next step is and what I need to do. I was thinking last night, Ok God what do I need to do next what do I need to say or do. What is the next thing? and I think that I stress out like I am trying to brainstorm and come up with Ideas about what needs to happen when you already have it laid out and I just need to hear. I can not get away from hearing otherwise I loose everything.
Your word is the direction that I need for this life and I need it more today then I have ever before and I pray that I need it more tomarrow then ever. I need your voice! Lead me and guide me in every step no matter how small it may seem I want to be directed by you like this text shows. Tell me where to go, who to meet with, what to receive, and where to go.
6 The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.
The Spirit of the Lord when He comes upon you you will flow in gifts and be changed. I love that about the spirit!!! He gives us purpose and changes us. The Spirit is so important to the becoming what we need to become. With out the spirit we can not change. We need the spirit.
Spirit I am in need of you and I realize that you are the only one that empowers me to say anything and to change. So often I just turn to my flesh and I walk away from what I know is the only one that can make me anything. I need you Holy Spirit.
