Supernatural miracles are accessible to all through Christ. Isaiah 10:27 says the anointing removes burdens and destroys yokes. Communion activates the Holy Spirit's anointing, preparing us for God's purposes. Like Samuel anointed Saul and Jesus for ministry, the anointing equips us for God's calling, providing freedom, discernment, and empowerment. Complete this plan and learn to receive and increase this anointing in your life!

This week, we will explore the book of 1 Samuel, engaging the transition of Israel from the age of judges to the age of kings. We will spend two days with each of the main characters—Samuel, Saul, and David—seeing both things to emulate and things to avoid as men of God.

This reading plan will introduce you to the book of Samuel, including why and under what circumstances the book was written and how it applies to Christians today.
