1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Then said Saul unto his servants, seek me a woman 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: her and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, behold, 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit. At 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: endore First Samuel twenty eight seven. Heavenly Father, in moments 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: of silence, when I am in between my present circumstance 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: and my future, promise teach me to wait on you 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: and your voice. I have made a conscious decision that 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: when I desire answers to life's problems, I will not 10 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: seek them in false mediums, astrology, psychics, or those connected 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: to the dark arts. Instead, I will position myself to 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: be in your presence and to hear your voice. I 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: decree and declare that your word is my guiding light. 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: I decree and declare that your voice has the ability 15 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: to cut through any dark times I may be facing. 16 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a 17 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: light into my path. And because I'm connected to your spirit, 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't have to settle for ungodly and false spirits. 19 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: I will choose to wait for you, Lord, knowing that 20 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: as I do, my help will arrive at just the 21 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: right time in Jesus name. Amen, thank you for praying 22 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: with me today. Continue listening for an incredible Bible story 23 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: brought to you by Bible in a Year dot com 24 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: guidance from the Medium. In our last story, we learned 25 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: about Saul's latest pursuit to take David's life. David once 26 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: again had the opportunity to end Saul and with him 27 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: all the fleeing and exile. Yet David's conviction as a 28 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: man of God stood its ground. He spared Saul, and 29 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: Saul once again repented and left David's presence. Now, David 30 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: dwells in the land of the Philistines, serving under King Akish. 31 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: David and his men made raids on the enemies of Israel, 32 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: pretending to make raids for the Philistines. In this story, 33 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: the Philistine Horde rises up against Israel. David continues to 34 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: wrestle with his alliances, while Saul, now living apart from 35 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: the spirit of God, turns to dark arts to settle 36 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: his weary and restless soul. Inspired by the Book of 37 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: First Samuel, Hello, this is Pastor Jack Graham with today's 38 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: episode of the Bible in a Year podcast. In our 39 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: last episode, we saw that David's loyalties were tested as 40 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: the Philistines gathered to do battle against Israel, and David 41 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: and his men were among the ranks ready to attack. 42 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: We saw how God prevented David from going into battle 43 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: against his own people and protecting him from the consequences 44 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: of terrible decisions. Today will return to Israel to meet 45 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: up with King Saul and see what he was doing 46 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: in the lead up to this same battle. While yesterday 47 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: we saw David seek God's guidance before fighting the Amalekites, 48 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: today we'll hear how Saul turns to the occult for guidance. 49 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: It is a final turning away, a terrible apostasy from 50 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: God that will spell ultimate disaster for him. Thus, now 51 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: listen to today's reading from God's Word. The days grew 52 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: darker and darker. War between the Israelites and Philistines raged 53 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: like wildfire. Both sides struck devastating blows, and the spirit 54 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: of both nations were growing dim. Valleys became swamps with 55 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: the blood and gore of battle. Villages and towns were 56 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: destroyed from plunder. Yet the Philistines were great in number 57 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: and continued to bang on the drums of war against Israel. 58 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: David still dwelled with his men and King Akish, and 59 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: the two became very close. David began to struggle with 60 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: his identity as a Hebrew while in the presence of 61 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: Philistine friends. Though he did not slay any Israelites, his 62 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: association with the enemy made him guilty. However, he could 63 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: not return to Saul, for his mind was like a tempest, 64 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: tossing him to and fro. The Philistine horde approached the 65 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: borders of Israel once again, Saul looked upon the sea 66 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: of soldiers with fear and trembling. Saul's mind had grown 67 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: weary and tainted with hatred. His soul was tormented and unsteady. 68 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: A subtle madness overcame Saul, and since God had removed 69 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: his spirit from him, there was no rest. Saul had 70 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: not truly felt peace since David last played songs for 71 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: him in the throne room. It seemed like a hundred 72 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: years since that time. Samuel, who was his guiding compass, 73 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: had been longed head. Night had fallen and the Israelite 74 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: camp was quiet and dimly lit by torches. Saul walked 75 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: to the outskirts of camp and fell to his knees. 76 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 1: The only sounds were Saul's tears as he wept before God. 77 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: He buried his face in the dirt, begging God to 78 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: speak to him once again silence. He looked to the stars, 79 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: listening for any semblance of God's voice. Nothing. Saul sought prophets, 80 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: but there was no response. Saul waited for dreams, yet 81 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: he was still met with nothing but torment. Saul arose 82 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: from his bed and woke up his servant. Find me 83 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: the necromancer woman from Endor, he commanded. So the servant 84 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: departed to find her and set up a meeting for 85 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: her and Saul. If God would not respond to his prayers, 86 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: perhaps another being would lend its ear. Sir Saul ventured 87 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: a few miles north to meet her. A different type 88 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: of darkness covered the city. A shroud of evil hovered 89 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: over Endoor storm clouds. Saul disguised himself in a cloak 90 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: to hide his identity and traveled the alleyways of Endoor 91 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: with secrecy. Saul entered into the necromancer's home. The room 92 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: reeked of spice and death. Saul uncovered his hood and 93 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: looked around the room. Dead ravens hung from the ceiling 94 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: and incense burned under carved images of wicked gods. The 95 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: room was dark and lit only by a few faint candles. 96 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: There in the corner of the room, a woman sat 97 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: at the edge of her bed. She was equally revolting 98 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: and intoxicating. She wore a scalding stare that shook Saul's spine. 99 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: Saul stood a few feet away from her and whispered, 100 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: I need you to bring forth a spirit for me. 101 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: The woman remained silent and arose from her bed. She 102 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: passed Saul encircled him like a lioness. You know that 103 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: the Righteous King Saul has banned all mediums and necromancers 104 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: from the land. This could very well be a trapped 105 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: for me. The woman spoke with a smooth voice. She 106 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: did not yet know it was Saul who stood before her. 107 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: Saul clenched his jaw as the Lord lives. I can 108 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: assure you no punishment will await you, Saul said. He 109 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: did his best not to stutter when he spoke, for 110 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: even Saul knew that he was playing with unknown power. 111 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: The necromancer stood a foot away from Saul and looked 112 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: him in the eye. She was silent for a few moments, 113 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: staring at Saul with an uneasy gaze. Whom shall I 114 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: bring for you, she asked, Samuel the Prophet, Saul said. 115 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: The woman took a step back and bowed her head. 116 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: Her hair covered her face. As she bent her neck forward, 117 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: Saul could hear faint mumbles from the woman. She shook 118 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: her shoulders back and forth, and her mumbles grew louder 119 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: and louder. The woman began to shake uncontrollably, and a 120 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: loud scream came out of her. You deceived me, the 121 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: woman shouted, you are King Saul, and gritted her teeth 122 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: and pointed towards Saul. I promise you will not be harmed, 123 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Saul said, Now tell me what you see. The woman's 124 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: eyes rolled back with her head. She mumbled and jolted 125 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: her neck back and forth. I see a man crawling 126 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: up out of the ground, she said. He is old 127 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: and wrapped in a robe. The necromancer began to tremble 128 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: and scream and fear. She had come in contact with 129 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: demonic spirits before, but now she was dealing with the 130 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: spirit of God. Saul fell on his face before the woman. 131 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: He knew who she was seeing was indeed Samuel the 132 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: woman loomed over Saul, and the tone of Samuel came 133 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: forth from her voice. Why have you disturbed me? He said. 134 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Saul looked up, still kneeling on the floor, and said, 135 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: I am in great distress. The Philistines are overtaking us, 136 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: and God has turned away from me. I am lost 137 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: without guidance. What shall I do? Tears fell from Saul's 138 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: eyes and his hands were shaking. Why do you ask me? 139 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: God has made you his enemy, Saul. I told you 140 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: that he would take your kingdom from you and give 141 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: it to another. Now you know it to be David. 142 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: There was a silence for a moment. Saul began to 143 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: speak until Samuel interrupted him, saying, tomorrow you and your 144 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: sons shall be with me, and Israel will be cast 145 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: into the arms of the Philistines. Saul lay prostrate on 146 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: the floor, and the woman shook her head and stumbled backwards. 147 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: Saul's strength had departed him, and his face grew pale 148 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: at the news. The woman composed herself and offered Saul 149 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,119 Speaker 1: food before he left. Saul refused, but his servants insisted 150 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: since his face was so pale and deathly. Saul ate 151 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: in silence on the woman's bed. He stared into the blackness, 152 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: fearing every moment might be his last. Saul had called 153 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: forth Samuel to be comforted, but he was met only 154 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: with more sorrow. Today's story begins with the Philistines gathering 155 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: for battle against Israel. David is still in Philistine territory, 156 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: but as we saw yesterday, he would not be a 157 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: part of the fight. Still, the Philistine army is large 158 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: and powerful, and King Saul is filled with fear of 159 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: this mighty enemy. Saul wants comfort, He wants assurance of victory. 160 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: He wants to hear from God, but Samuel has been 161 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: dead now for some time. Saul's connection to God is 162 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: cut off. He seeks other prophets, but God does not listen. 163 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: He waits for God to speak to him in dreams, 164 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: but there's no revelation. Saul had strayed far, far from God. 165 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: He had lived in disobedience and carnality. He had neglected 166 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: to listen to God for so long that God is 167 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: not responding to his Christ and so now he's desperate, 168 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: so desperate that he makes a tragic decision. He appeals 169 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: to ungodly spiritualism. He seeks counsel from a witch. Desperation 170 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: is no excuse for sin, ever, and Saul wasn't really 171 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: seeking God for guidance and wisdom. He was just seeking 172 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: his own comfort and trying to save his own life. 173 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: His motives were terribly wrong. Saul's actions were not only 174 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: a violation of God's law, they violated his own laws. 175 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: He had given orders to clear the land of all 176 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: practitioners of spiritism and the occult. But because Saul was desperate, 177 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: he sends for a necromancer. He disguises himself carefully so 178 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: that his sin and hypocrisy isn't revealed. He entered the 179 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: median's home in the town of Indoor and made his request. 180 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: He needed her to summon a spirit from the dead. 181 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: Even this which was afraid that this was a trap, 182 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: so Saul swore an oath in the name of the 183 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: very god he was betraying that she would not be harmed. 184 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: Saul told her he wanted to speak to the prophet Samuel, 185 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: who had died. He wants to speak to the dead. 186 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: To this woman's great surprise and horror, Samuel appeared. This 187 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: was not an evil spirit pretending to be Samuel, and 188 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: it wasn't a trick. This was real. She wasn't expecting it. 189 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: You see, this had nothing to do with her powers. 190 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: This was God at work, and this woman somehow knew it. 191 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: She then recognized that it was Saul who'd come to her. 192 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: Why did you lie to me, she asked Tara, But 193 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: Saul told her nothing bad would happen to her. Just 194 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: tell him what she saw. So she told him, and 195 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: Saul knew it was Samuel. He bowed in reverence, surely 196 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: thinking he was about to get the comfort that he needed. 197 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: But then Samuel spoke directly to him, asking why he 198 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: had disturbed his rest. Saul told Samuel God had fallen 199 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: silent and he was in distress over the Philistines. Samuel's 200 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: response was clear. God did exactly as he said he 201 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: would because Saul had disobeyed God and turned from him. 202 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: Not only that, he confirmed what God had already said 203 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: to Saul. The kingdom would be taken from him. David 204 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: would soon be the king, sooner than Saul could imagine. 205 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: Then Samuel gave Saul the most devastating news in First 206 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: Samuel twenty eighth nineteen. Moreover, the Lord will give Israel 207 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: also with you, into the hand of the Philistines, and 208 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: tomorrow you and your son shall be with me. The 209 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: Lord will give the army of Israel also into the 210 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: hands of the Philistines. Saul was devastated, and rather than 211 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: lead with confidence and comfort, he left with dread, for 212 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: he knew that God's will could not be changed and 213 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: his word would come true the next time. We'll see 214 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: how this all plays out in God's plan. Dear God, 215 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: how we thank you for your word the Bible.
