1 Sam. 10:6  And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

1 Sam. 10:9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

The first verse reads like being born again. The second verse reads like being given a heart after God. This is the very thing that every born again believer strives for as we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Notice also the presence of the Spirit of the Lord. The three elemental understandings of every Christian that has received the gospel with understanding.

So why have I titled with breaking faith?

It has to do with the King Saul’s breaking faith with God. If biblical figures represent examples for our lives and the dangers in the choices we make, then we should look to see what happened to King Saul as a warning.

1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

1 Samuel 15:9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

From this moment forward Samuel sought to find the Lord appointed to replace Saul as King. The finding of David son of Jesse came next.

Did Saul accept rejection of position?
