An Eligible Receiver

1 Samuel 10:1–27; Matthew 13:18–23

“As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty” (Matthew 13:23 ESV).

Proper preparation makes us eligible receivers of the Holy Spirit’s work in us and through us.

Notice the prophetic insight God has placed in your life (both yours and others). 1 Samuel 10:1–6

Find freedom from the personal baggage that holds you back.  1 Samuel 10:22 “…he has hidden himself among the baggage” (ESV).

Know that God has the power to bring transformation into your life.  1 Samuel 10:6,  Ezekiel 36:26–27

In faith, step into the opportunities God presents to you.  1 Samuel 10:7 “…do what your hand finds to do…” (ESV).
