MEN OF GOD ARE DIFFERENT
1 Samuel 10:6,7
And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. And let it be, when thou do as occasion serve thee; for GOD is with thee.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of GOD.
Yesterday, we said that men/women of GOD who are "certain" in there faith, are different, daring, determined and delivered. When we are born again and filled with the Holy Spirit of GOD, then we can be used in powerful ways as vessels fit for GOD to use in His unfolding plan.
In the first quote from Scripture, when the Holy Spirit comes upon Saul after he was anointed by the Prophet Samuel, He was given the gift of prophecy and was turned into another person - changed by the anointing. GOD was with Him and this gave him the daring to go in the strength of the LORD.
The Romans passage gives us clear instructions for the maintaining of the anointing of the LORD and the power to be instruments of GOD; " be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." The "different people" who are daring in their mission and ministry must be willing to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. How do you renew your mind in GOD? Holy Scripture, prayer, meditation and the ever deepening relationship with GOD - know the voice of the Shepherd.
What keeps a person from being different, daring, determined and delivered? The Romans passage says clearly that to stay fixed on the LORD, you can not be conformed to this world and the ways of the world. Saul fell, because he conformed to the world around him. Empires fall and Nations loose their way when they give up following the LORD GOD and become enfolded into the world system and rhythm.
GUARD YOUR HEART; BE RECONCILED TO GOD; BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.
