(1 Samuel 16:23) And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.~ Are there ghosts in this world? There are ghosts in this world! And these ghosts are attached to the leaders! If the ghosts are not attached to the leaders, then the ghosts have no effect! How the devil leads or takes over the world? The real devils, the real tough ghosts is the one in Saul!
Saul was chosen by God. Later, in order to cater to the people and gain more support, Saul completely forgot Samuel's words, that Samuel was the high priest, and Saul offered sacrifices instead of Samuel! Later, because he saw the high-quality cattles and sheeps of the Amalekites, he did not listen to Samuel's words and destroyed everything of the Amalekites! Finally, Saul totally let God's Spirit leave Saul. God can use anyone, but God will never use a disobedient and proud person! In the end, the Spirit of God left Saul, evil spirits invaded Saul, and Saul died quite tragically! God never chooses the wrong person, but people often ruin God's grace and blessings because of their arrogance!
Saul used to be what we have been emphasizing ~ excellent! He had a tall, handsome appearance, and later, when he disobeyed God's word, he began to think of himself as arrogant, and he knew that Samuel had anointed David as king, and he began to hunt and kill David! Saul had forgotten: his enemy was not David, but the Philistines! There are steps for the devil to control a person, and when a person has more power, the more the devil likes to control him, because the devil controls the person in power, and they control more people invisibly! In the end, Saul found a ghost woman to help him find Samuel's ghost. He probably thought Samuel to go to hell like him! Why do influential people, who are good at the beginning, then completely collapse? Saul was really miserable in the end! Under a subordinate with a weapon, he committed suicide with his own knife, and his family behind him were miserable! I once compared a political figure in the United States to Saul. This is not a random analogy. We will all see what happens to Saul!
I have helped many people drive out ghosts! But all I cast out are little devils, and real influential people, they don't want to cast out devils! That's why Saul would rather let ghosts control his whole life! Why these influential people don't like to cast out demons? Are there ghosts in the church? The churches are haunted! And those influential pastors are often ghosts! If there is no ghost upper body, they will lose their power, wealth and money! Remember when Jesus was tested in the wilderness for 40 days? The devil told Jesus: All power, wealth and money, the devils can give Jesus, Jesus finally told Satan to leave him! The Truth of the Bible to help our life is that the Bible is the only way to heaven!
Why do people prefer to believe in ghosts, but people don't believe in God? And Saul was clearly chosen by God, and he himself had experienced the transformation from an insignificant person to a king, and Saul was the kind of person who was very timid and fear to die than others. He fought the Philistines, if not for God's favor him and never won. He is greedy for life and fear of death! Therefore, when a leader has the Spirit of God, and does not have the Spirit of God, their actions will be very different! Everyone doesn’t believe in the theory of the election, and in fact, I didn’t believe it at first, but after reading the story of Saul and David, I believe in the theory of the election! But we always have to remember one thing - are leaders the Spirit of God? Or the spirit of the devils?
The Spirit of God left Saul on purpose, and God allowed Israel to be ruled by a bad king! Just like King Solomon was also a tyrannical king later, Solomon had all the wisdom and wealth, but in the end he also made the people miserable! Therefore, the king is a leader, and in many cases, the king of the country, we didn't make the right to choose, but we have the right to choose. Do you want to be David? Or the foolish Israelites? Although David was anointed by Samuel, David had no resources at all, and of course all the resources were in the hands of the king Saul! At the beginning, there were not many people who followed David, 200, 400... Later, more and more, Jesus was also an ordinary person without resources. The only thing that was not ordinary was that Jesus could perform miracles! But not everyone who works miracles is Jesus!
Why did the pharaohs bury the Red Sea? Why did Saul end up committing suicide? There are so many truths in the Bible, it really is the only way to heaven! This is absolutely true!
