But on the way to Naioth in Ramah the Spirit of God came even upon Saul, and he, too, began to prophesy all the way to Naioth! He tore off his clothes and lay naked on the ground all day and all night, prophesying in the presence of Samuel. The people who were watching exclaimed, “What? Is even Saul a prophet?”
When David fled for his life from Saul’s irrational anger, he went to live with Samuel in Ramah.
Saul sent a team of soldiers to Ramah to capture David but, as the soldiers approached, they were overwhelmed by the Spirit of God and could not carry out their mission. Instead, they all began to prophesy and give glory to God! This happened three different times.
Finally, Saul went himself to Ramah, fully intending to capture David and kill him. But the same thing happened to Saul, only the Lord caused Saul to tear off his clothes and lie naked on the ground all day and all night while he prophesied!
If we really think that we are fully in control of our lives, it is only an illusion.
