God's Fever... a Troubling Spirit

God's Sounding the Alarms...

A distressing and troubling spirit FROM the Lord is an INDICATOR of a wayward heart.

Saul is an example of those (a man) who operates in this life, as a king... but without a King guiding (him) them. David on the other hand is a king (a man) who functioned in this life looking to and leaning on a King that led Him, as he led God's people. A picture of those who faithfully and consistently abide in Jesus. Saul is an example of us when we do not abide but backslide and function independent of God's lead.

Much of what I will share in this message is an introduction to what I teach when I lead a Saul Syndrome Conference. The first indicator is the distressing spirit that God gives in His chastening love for us when we've taken our eyes off of Him and living for ourselves. Hebrews (chapter 12) refers to it as a weary and downcast spirit.

The question is "why are you weary, you have not shed blood (like Jesus) to strive against sin in your own lives, much less anyone else's, you have absolutely NO reason to be weary... moreover you have forgotten that God chastens those that He loves.

The weariness is given to reveal that we're looking to ourselves and our circumstances and we've taken our eyes off of Jesus. It's also revelation we're not running our race and have been distracted with emptiness and worthlessness. This is same type of troubling spirit that came on Saul. Yet, when we, like Saul, are around Godly people, with a fresh anointing upon them (like David, when he played for Saul) we seemed refresh or revived. But soon as we go from their presence we begin to drift downward
