Spirit of the LORD

“The Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward.”

 I Samuel 16:13

 When David was anointed by Prophet Samuel, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. From that day forward, the Spirit of the Lord strengthened David and guided him in all through his life. The Sprit of the Lord strengthened David to become a great warrior and then a great King of Israel. The Shepard boy was chosen to be the King of Israel because he exalted and glorified the Lord always. He used his harp to worship the Lord’s wonderful name.

When Saul and all Israel men were dismayed and afraid of the Philistine Goliath, the young boy David courageously came to rescue Israel. The Sprit of the Lord gave him the courage and strength to face the challenge of Goliath. He went to challenge Goliath neither with sword nor spear but with the mighty name of Lord of Israel. He single handedly delivered Israel from Philistines. The David put his faith on the Living Lord and not on the armories. The name of the Lord was shield and sward to him. That is why he refused to take the Saul’s armour, helmet, coat of mail and sword for this battle. He preferred to take shepherds staff, sling and stones to fight against a well armoured Goliath. He went to the battle with Praise on his mouth and faith in his heart on the Lord of hosts. The Sprit of the Lord gave him the power to smite the giant Goliath with a single stone. “David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but  there was no sword in the hand of David.” I Samuel 17:50

Though David had five stones in his shepherd's bag, a stone is enough for him over come Goliath. That is what the name of the Lord is so powerful. His name is “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”. Isiah 9:6. When you put your faith on the Lord, his name alone will help you to over come all your troubles. When you completely rely on His name, he will come to you and satisfy all you desire. 

1.       As his name is “Wonderful”, he will do wonders in your life.

2.      As his name is “Counseller”, he will keep His eyes upon you to instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.

3.      As His name is “Mighty God”, He will do mighty things what you can’t imagine in your life. 

4.      As His name is “Everlasting Father”, He cares you and provide all your needs according to his riches and be with you even unto the end of ages.

5.      As His name is “Prince of Peace”, He gives his peace to every one not as the world gives.

Jesus is the way, truth and life for you. When you come to Jesus, he will embrace you and transform your life with His Holy Spirit. He will make you new to do great things for your Lord. When you are so eager to get filled with Holy Spirit, He will fill you with Holy Spirit. He promised to give His Spirit to all who are really thirst for Him. When the Spirit of Lord come upon you, you will become the children of the great God. He will take care of all your worries and will give prominent peace and joy all throughout your life with His Holy Spirit. Amen.

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6
