THE REJECTED VESSEL (Par t 7)

Text: 1 Samuel 15

INTRODUCTION:

In the last part of this series, we learnt that God is not a man that

He should repent and that whatsoever a man soeth the same

shall he reap.

Today, as we continue in our studies, may the Lord Himself teach

and bless us richly through His word in Jesus Name.

1. DEPARTURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OPENS DOOR FOR EVIL

SPIRIT

Believers are the temple of God where the Holy Spirit dwells. The

moment we defile the temple or refuse to do the will of God, the Holy

Spirit departs. And since the temple is vacant, an evil spirit may find

its way there by God's permission.

I Sam. 16:14, I Cor. 3:16-17, Jud. 9:23, Lk. 22:3, I Kgs. 22:19-23,

Num. 14:42-43, Jos. 7:12, Jud. 16:20, Rom. 1:21-32, Lk. 11:26.

2. PRAISE IS A WEAPON OF DELIVERANCE

The high praise of God is a believer's weapon for worship and

spiritual warfare.

Intensive praise, worship and adoration has a powerful effect in the

spiritual realm to pull down demonic strongholds.

I Sam. 16:16, 23, 2 Kg. 3:15, Ps. 149:5-9, 2 Cor. 10:4-6, 2 Chr.

20:20-25, Ps. 22:3, Heb. 1:14, Acts 16:25-30, Ps. 50:23, Acts 2:47.

CONCLUSION

Has the Holy Spirit departed from you or you have not even received

Him into your life, repent from your sins and ask God for the

restoration of His Spirit in your life.
