”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: and the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.“
1 Samuel 10:5-6 KJV
Samuel anointed Saul to be the king over the children of Israel and told him, “Next, you’ll come to Gibeah of God…and you’ll run into a bunch of prophets coming down from the shrine, playing harps and tambourines, flutes and drums. And they’ll be prophesying. Before you know it, the Spirit of God will come on you and you’ll be prophesying right along with them. And you’ll be transformed. You’ll be a new person!” The nervous would-be king was transformed into another person by the Spirit of God. The prophetic ecstasy hit Saul again when he had turned against Yahweh later. The saying came about, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” The Spirit of God powerfully transforms anyone, even non-believers. In the new covenant He is here to help us be like Jesus. Let’s surrender to the Holy Spirit and be spiritually minded where there is life and peace. Amen!
