Let us worry about the anointing of God and not the armor of Saul

People who do not enjoy the power, the anointing, the fullness, the experience of the Holy Spirit do not have the capacities to correctly interpret the strange, different, sovereign things that God often does in the lives of anointed people or anointed environments and that many times contradict the parameters of reason and culture.

Another situation that we see interesting is regarding the use of Saul's armor that teaches us another very revealing lesson, where when Saul accepts that David goes against the giant Goliath he tries to help him by providing him with the common armor of a soldier. I imagine that the armor worn by the king of Israel must be the best there was in the whole land and the one that protected the most, and facilitated the most effective movements.

But when David puts on this armor, as he has no practice in it, he is not used to wearing these things, he feels awkward and awkward, and he just takes it off, and uses these five smooth stones and the sling that he used to wear when he exercised his pastoral work.

And always the interpreters of Scripture have seen a great lesson in this. What a man, a woman of the Holy Spirit uses is not necessarily the weapons that do not have that power in their lives. When one does not enjoy the anointing and the filling of the Holy Spirit even in the Christian life, many times the ministerial work, the tasks of daily living are much more difficult and much more resources are needed, more efforts, simply more apparatus.

But when the Spirit of God is in our lives, that anointing within us makes us much more economical, more efficient, it makes us more capable of much more with much less. That is why it is so important that we children of God have that power, that we cultivate that filling of the Holy Spirit in our lives, because it will make everything work more easily.

We see this for example in the life of the early Church, where we are told that the first Christians, Paul in one part points out, I think it is in First Corinthians, that they were neither very educated nor of much renown, nor of much social influence, but says that God chose the weak in the world to shame the strong.

God always looks for the disadvantages to show His Power, He looks for the little ones, the non-gifted, the unrecognized so that the glory always results for His Name. God likes to use earthen vessels, earthen vessels, fragile and weak instruments to show His Power. What God is looking for is that willing heart, that mind that creates for God anything like David believed God to overcome this great giant.

Many times the children of God make many mistakes trying to connect and establish society with people who do not know the Power of God, whose hearts are totally deficient with respect to the mysteries of the Holy Spirit, who do not have the same loyalty to the principles of Scripture, simply because they represent some tactical advantage; either: money, or influence, or access to political power and then we end up establishing unequal yokes, either with unbelievers or with believers who do not move in the same way that we move in the Holy Spirit. And what seems like a momentary advantage later turns into a terrible obstacle to our ministerial life.

We children of God have to be consistent in the way we move in the sacred realm of the Pentecostal anointing. This move of God is very specific in its manifestations, it does not necessarily obey the parameters of reason or human understanding. The apostle Paul says that the folly of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.

The folly of the cross with a crucified Christ is much more powerful and more effective than the apparent power of men. Through the cross Christ, limited in his movement, tortured, apparently defeated, won the most powerful victory of all, because the Bible says that on the cross the Lord defeated the principalities and powers, and publicly exhibited them in their defeat, and annulled the act of decrees, the accusation of the devil that was contrary to us, and opened a Ministry of grace and power for all believers.

The weapons that God uses are very different from the weapons that the world uses and even the weapons that believers who do not know the moving of the Holy Spirit use. That is why the apostle Paul also says that: "The weapons of our armor are not carnal, but powerful in God for the destruction of strongholds."

We have to understand that if we want God to use us we cannot necessarily use Saul's weapons. We will not be able to use the weapons of reason or marketing, or worldly advertising, or cultural currents, or the academic pedigree of people who study in seminars or in these things. All that is good, I believe in that, very important, but if the anointing of God is not in our life, all those devices and accessories that we use will be of no use to us.

God wanted to provide a very clear illustration of this principle showing here that David did not want to move in Saul's armor, Saul had been rejected by God. Furthermore, what God was going to do through David, no armor could accomplish or facilitate. It had to be a direct intervention of the Power of God and everything else was totally symbolic.

If the Power of God was moving in David's life everything else was totally secondary, even the five smooth stones and the sling that David used were totally symbolic. David could have simply grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Goliath's face, and that would have been enough for the Power of God to manifest and bring down the giant.

The most important thing we have to ask ourselves is if God is with me, if God and God's anointing is moving in my life, because if we have that we don't need almost anything else, although all the other resources are important and necessary. But the most important thing is: God is with me, there is the Power of God in my life, there is the anointing of God moving powerfully in my life. If God is with us, who is against us? Let's worry about God's anointing and not so much about Saul's armor.

May God bless you and until our next show.
