The Five Phases of Saul’s Destruction (1) Impulse of the Heart (2) Inclination of the Mind (3) Incitement to Action (4) Isolation from God (5) Imprisoned by Fear

(1) Impulse of the Heart 1 Samuel 18:8a Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly.

Exodus 15:20~21 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the L ORD, for He is highly exalted. Both horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.”

(2) Inclination of the Mind 1 Samuel 18:9 And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Ephesians 4:22~23 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds…

(3) Incitement to Action 1 Samuel 18:10b~11a Saul had a spear in his hand and he hurled it, …

Matthew 5:27~28 You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

1 Samuel 18:10a The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul.

1 Samuel 18:10a The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. 1 Samuel 16:14 … an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. 1 Samuel 19:9 But an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul. (see also 1 Samuel 16:15, 16:16, 16:23, Judges 9:23)

1 Samuel 18:10a (NKJV) And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul,… 1 Samuel 18:10a (NLT) The very next day a tormenting spirit from God overwhelmed Saul,…

1 Samuel 18:10b He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the harp, as he usually did.

1 Kings 18:29a Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice.

(4) Isolation from God 1 Samuel 18:12 … the L ORD … had departed from Saul.

Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!

Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

(5) Imprisoned by Fear 1 Samuel 18:15 When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him. (David)

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Lessons from 1 Samuel 18:1~14 (1) We are actually quite vulnerable. (2) Be careful with what you say. (3) Avoid crediting certain individuals. (4) Be careful about those negative impulses. (5) Make up your mind. (6) Draw closer to God. (7) Live in God’s peace, not in fear.

Overall Lesson from 1 Samuel 18:1~14 Don’t be like Saul! Don’t do what he did!
