Doing What the Occasion Requires: 1 Samuel 10:6-7

Notice: 1 Samuel 6:11-20: 22 that we may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.

1 Samuel 10:6 “Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. 7 Now when these signs meet you, do what the Occasion requires, for God is with you.”

The Spirit of God will come upon you mightily
You Shall Prophesy with the Prophets
You Will be changed into another man
You will do for yourself what the occasion requires.

For Saul Here is what the First Occasion Requires: Verse 8

And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and behold I will come down to you to offer burnt offering and sacrifice peace offerings. You shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you should do.

Saul Fails to do what the Occasion Requires 1 Sam 13:1-14

Saul’s Second Opportunity to do What the Occasion Requires:
1 Samuel 15:1-23

1st Every Occasion Requires Complete Obedience to the Word!

Partial Obedience is Disobedience: What has God told you to do that you have not done completely!

2nd On the Occasion of Disobedience: Confession, Humility and Repentance is Required:

Psalm 51:16-17 – David’s Sin

3rd We Never Substitute Sacrifice for Obedence.

Psalm 40:6-8
1 Corinthians 13:1-3

4th Because Disobedience is Very Serious

Witchcraft – idolatry – Rejecting the Lord

For Saul – The Spirit departed! 1 Samuel 16:14 Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul and an evil spirit from the Lord terorized him.

Deuteronomy 30:15-19
