Prophets Speak by the Power of the Holy Spirit

 ”And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.“

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The prophet Gad told David, “Don’t go back to the cave. Go to Judah.” David did what he told him. He went to the forest of Hereth.  David reverenced the Lord His Shepherd and respected what the prophet told him.  Yahweh, through the prophet Gad told David to flee from his place of shelter to another safe haven to be kept from the vicious wrath of king Saul.  In the new covenant all who follow the Lord Jesus as His disciples and are led by the Holy Spirit, are to be passionate to prophesy and not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues, doing all things in a beautiful and orderly way.  The Church manifests Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to those around us: the power of the Gospel to salvation; the power of love shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; the power of faith that gives us the victory to overcome the world; the power of humility so that the Spirit of glory rests on us; the power of the Word of God quickened by the Holy Spirit; the power of Jesus’s Blood brought to us through His everlasting covenant; the power to witness to everyone even to the ends of the earth.  Let’s be in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Amen!
