With God's Spirit comes power. In the Old Testament, His power enabled them for their calling. Today, when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we also receive the Holy Spirit's power. He seals us for salvation as children of God and heirs in heaven. But He also enables us to do all He's called us to do by using our innate characteristics for His glory and by giving us unique ability to do things for Him that we wouldn't otherwise be able to do. Let God use you today for His purposes.
When God rejected Saul as king, He also withdrew His Spirit. Then, He had Samuel anoint David as the new king and He sent His Holy Spirit to confirm it. He wasn't giving or withdrawing salvation. His Spirit came only to empower or disempower for kingship.
First, we talk about the Holy Spirit's Presence with Saul and David, then we talk about His Presence with us.
