Can you imagine walking down the street one day and accidentally running into someone who has the power to declare you as the next president or prime minister of a nation? Sound crazy? Well, this is what happened in the story found in first Samuel chapter 10. An unsuspecting young man, by the name of Saul, from the small tribe of Benjamin was looking for his father’s lost donkeys. After days of searching, he seemingly, on accident, ran into Samuel, the prophet of God. The prophet immediately told him that he would be spending the night with him. After a sumptuous meal and a night’s rest, the prophet of God told Saul that he would be the king of Israel and that three supernatural events would happen to him immediately after he left. He also assured him that when those supernatural events occurred, he would be changed into another man.

1 Sam 10:6-9 At that time, the Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person.  After these signs take place, do what must be done, for God is with you. Then go down to Gilgal ahead of me. I will join you there to sacrifice burnt offerings and peace offerings. You must wait for seven days until I arrive and give you further instructions.” As Saul turned and started to leave, God gave him a new heart, and all Samuel’s signs were fulfilled that day.

Wow! That very day God changed Saul into another man! What made it happen? Simply a word from God! Yes! A single moment in God’s presence can transform your life forever! Just one word from God can set the course of your life in a completely new direction! Tommy Tenney said, “An ounce of favor it’s worth a lifetime of labor.” A life of intimacy with God is the best way to experience a powerful word from God! The secret to intimacy with God is knowing how precious you are to him and what he has done for you!

God is in love with you today! By the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ, he has declared you perfect in his sight! If you look at him, you will see that his eyes are gleaming with pleasure as he looks at you! You are everything he’s ever wanted! Be sure; amazing and wonderful life change is available for you, and all it takes is…
