“The Holy Spirit Strikes Again”

1 Samuel 16: 13: “Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward.” This sounds a lot like the Day of Pentecost, but one thousand years before the fact. To say that the Holy Spirit debuted on the Day of Pentecost is to misunderstand the Trinity in general, and the Spirit specifically. Even as far back as David, the Spirit anointed him for works of service and love for His God. He still gives that power and anointing, even today.
