Subject: Was this really Samuel's spirit? |
Bible Note: The Lord had confronted Saul about his sin - but Saul had never repented of it. Samuel told Saul the kingdom had been torn from him - "what is this sound of the sheep I hear" Saul could not accept this fact and was in rebellion against the Lord even until the day he died. Consulting a medium was a sin. When Samuel spoke to him one last time he repeated what the Lord had already told him and added the news of his death. It wasn't that the Lord wouldn't answer Saul. It was that he wouldn't listen. When Saul took that attitude the Lord no longer answered his prayers. The lesson in this for us is that we must deal with sin in our lives and worship the Lord his way according to His ordinances. Thank you for listening and searching out the scriptures for yourself.
