And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
(1 Samuel 17:38)(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
(2 Corinthians 10:4) Let us worry about the anointing of God and not the armor of Saul
The anointing and filling of the Holy Spirit allows believers to interpret and understand the sovereign things that God does in their lives, even if they contradict reason and culture. Saul's armor, which David rejected, is a lesson that what a person of the Holy Spirit uses may not be what those without the anointing require. We should not establish unequal yokes with non-believers or believers who do not move in the same way in the Holy Spirit. God looks for those who are willing and have a heart for Him, using earthen vessels to show His power. The weapons that God uses are different from those of the world, and we should not rely on reason, marketing, or academic pedigree without the anointing of God in our lives. The most important thing is to ask if God is with us and if His anointing is moving powerfully in our lives.
