Thu 02Apr09, 1 Samuel 10: 1 - 9 RSV
Be turned into another man.
Samuel anointed Saul with oil and predicted a series of events that Saul would encounter soon after, as a sign of God's choice and calling. It was also to be the time for Saul to be empowered and transformed.
"The Spirit of the LORD will come mightily upon you, and you shall prophesy with them, and be turned into another man." (v. 6)
". . . when he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart."
(v. 9)
It appears that being transformed by God's Spirit involves, and invariably results in, a change of heart and mind. In a similar manner, the apostle Paul in the NT calls upon the Christians at Rome to be transformed, by the renewing of their minds. (Romans 12: 2).
Do you need a change of heart?
