A DEEPER MEANING OF WALKING IN THE SPIRITOur example is found in 1 Samuel 9. In this chapter, Saul was

ent by his father to find some runaway donkeys. Taking a

ervant with him, Saul searched throughout the lands of

Ephraim, Shalim, Benjamin and Zuph. Finally, he got

discouraged and was ready to give up the hunt. But then hiservant told him about Samuel, a prophet; maybe he could tell

him where to find the donkeys. On this occasion, I see Saul as a

ype of believer who seeks direction only. All he had in mind

was: "Where are my donkeys? Where should I go? I'm at my

wits' end!" Meanwhile, God had already told Samuel that a

oung man was going to come to him, and that he was to anoint

him. Samuel here is a type of the Holy Spirit, who knows the

mind of God; he has more on his mind than just direction. He

knows Saul has been chosen by God to play a part in heaven's

ternal purpose! The first thing Samuel did when Saul arrived

was to call for a feast: "go up before me unto the high place;

or ye shall eat with me to day, and tomorrow I will let theeo, and will tell thee all that is in your heart" (1 Samuel:19).

This is exactly what the Holy Spirit desires of us: to sit at the

Lord's Table and minister to Him -- having quality time alone,hearing His heart. Samuel asked Saul to clear his mind so they

ould commune together: "And as for your asses that were losthree days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they areound..." (verse 20).

Samuel was saying, "Don't focus on getting direction now --hat's all settled. There's something more important at hand.

You've got to know God's heart -- His eternal purpose!" Samuel

aid a whole shoulder of meat before Saul, and they spent timeommuning: "And Samuel communed with Saul upon the topf the house" (verse 25). After that night of communion,

Samuel asked Saul to send his servant out of the room, so they

ould have an intimate, face-to-face session: "Bid the servantpass on before us... but stand thou still a while, that I mayhow thee the word of God. Then Samuel took a vial of oil,nd poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it

not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain overhis inheritance?" (1Sam.9:27; 10:1).Do you see what God is saying here? "If you really want to walk

n the Spirit -- if you really want My anointing -- you need to

eek more than direction from Me. You need to come into Myresence and get to know My heart, My desires! You see, I want

o anoint you -- to use you in My kingdom!"

Beloved, forget direction -- forget everything else for now!

Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you the deep, hidden things of

God. Stand still in His presence, and let Him show you the very

heart of the Lord. That is the walk of the Spirit in its highest

orm! When you do this, direction will come -- and you won't

ven have to ask!

When we spend deeper times in the presence of the Lord we will

e able to show Christ to a lost world: We faint not but by

the manifestation of the truth commending ourselveevery man's conscience in the sight of God2Cor.4:1-The Apostle Paul is clearly telling us that we are calle

Apostle Paul says that we are Gods epistles to the world

Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known read of all men; being made manifest that ye areepistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablestone, but in tablesthat are hearts of flesh2Cor 3:2-3

Our lives are epistles written by the Holy Spirit and to a lost world, which are always read by people arous. The question is: how can we become Gods epistlethe world? This is possible only through the work ofHoly Spirit. When we are saved the Holy Spirit is engra

in us the image of Jesus Christ and He will continue to w

in us as long as we live. The Holy Spirit will create in

o a mission to Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. As we arrivedo Nairobi we divided in 5 groups. Sunday I ministered to

Deliverance Church in the Unity neighborhood. The fist

hurch service started at 7:00 AM. We went to the second

ervice which started at 9:00 AM and we stayed there untilhe end of the third service at 2:00 PM. I ministered on the

hird service. We never saw so much noise at the end of one

ervice and the start of another one, when 2,500 people wereoing out and even more people than these coming in. So

much rush in the house of the Lord.never saw such of worship, noisy and with all heart: soul,

pirit and body. Apostle John Brown Masinte, the pastor ofhe church preached about tithing. Tithing belongs to the

Lord (Lev.27:30). Reading in the Bible, we see many thingseing done differently, like collecting the offerings.

Everybody had to bring the offering before the

ongregation (Mat.5:23, Luke 21:1), ushers were not goinground to collect offerings (to be continued).
