first samuel chapter 28. i want to show you some different verses um it's not always that i feel uh like i feel about what i'm preaching today it's very different it's very unusual but i know when the lord speaks to me not in audible voices but i know that i know that i know that he's given me what i'm going to share with you today and it is it is something that can break people free and i want you to see it in first samuel chapter 28 this is an amazing chapter all the way through and i don't have time to go through and read it all but i wish you would this week in verse 3 samuel dies and the bible said saul had put out the mediums and the spiritualists out of the land he put out the witches the spiritualists the mediums the fortune tellers he put them out of the land but in verse five watch saul saw the army of the philistines and he was afraid and his heart his heart trembled greatly notice notice the driving theme of saul's life changes here fear fear his heart trembled he inquired of the lord verse 6 and the lord did not answer either by dreams by urem i'll explain that in a moment or by prophets then saul said to his servants find me a woman who is a medium that i may go to her and inquire and his servant said to him in fact there is a woman who is a medium in endor she's a the king james says a witch saul disguised himself put on clothes he took two men with him they came to the woman by night and he said please conduct a seance for me and bring up for me one that i shall name to you this is interesting i'm going to keep reading it because i want to and the word of the and the woman said to him look you know what saul has done she didn't really know who he was yet he disguised himself how he has cut off mediums and spiritualists from the land when and why do do you lay a snare for me to cause me to die she's saying this is a sting operation i'm expecting the fbi to bust through the walls and arrest me because what i'm doing is illegal and he swore to her by the lord he took the name of the lord in vain right here and he swore to her by the lord as the lord lives no punishment will come upon you and then the woman said whom shall i bring up from the dead for you i i i just want to point something out nowhere in this story does god mark it like it's some kind of fakery trickery light thing to talk to the dead to go to spiritualist this is a serious thing you're touching and tapping into something you don't know what you're dealing with when you go into these areas and it may be a joke to you it may be fun it may be entertainment it may be a little ouija board a tarrant card a fortune teller a medium it may be something that's just you're bored on a friday night and you and your friends just end up there but what you are doing is is deadly to your soul now i want you to understand it nowhere does god act like this nowhere does the scripture imply that that this is no big deal i just feel like speaking right here a minute pharaoh had his magicians and they could do supernatural they were demonically empowered to do supernatural things read the story of moses and his magicians the things they did would boggle the mind but then they even made sticks turn into serpents but but moses threw his staff down and the serpent swallowed up the fake and the and the demonic serpents do you not know that the bible said that there's the father the son jesus christ and the holy spirit there's the father the son and the holy spirit the trinity the the the the three are one and jesus is god and do you not understand that satan the great counterfeit has satan the antichrist will be satan in skin satan in a skin suit but there's a missing one he's called the false prophet and he will come with a religion a false religion that will outlaw christianity and make the satan the antichrist will be very religious and the bible said he will win the multitudes with lying signs and wonders and miraculous unexplainable supernatural power where is that going to come from it's coming from the dark side the other side the supernatural world that is very real bring up for me samuel from the dead the woman saw samuel and she cried out with a loud voice she saw something she wasn't ready for she saw something she she had done this many times and she knew what it was to deal with with spirits and deal in the dark world with spirit guides and channelers and and and and forces that would appear in that cave she understood she had seen them come in hoods and and and and demonic powers to lead and guide and tell and and it's not they they do have superna there are people who have super who have been empowered supernaturally by demonic spirits it's not a game verse 15. i'll cut to the chase i want to read it verse 13 verse 14 and she said he said to her he said to her what is his form and she said it's an old man coming up and he's covered in a mantle can i preach right there the mantle was the prayer shawl it was samuel god is hijacking a seance you think the devil's in control because they got their blood of chickens and doing voodoo and this god says nothing can keep me out if i want to come i can come i can jack a seance i'm preaching my whole sermon i got to calm down what is his form it's an old man coming she and instantly she pre saul perceived it was samuel he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down to samuel said why have you disturbed me from bringing me up saul answered i'm deeply distressed here it is again fear the philistines war against me listen to these words god has departed from me and does not answer me anymore by prophets or by dreams i'll i'll end in a minute with the story saul is frightened go with me to the valley of jezreel there is a mountain called mount gilboa the philistines have cornered king saul his boys his sons including jonathan are with him his own flesh and blood heir to the throne the army of israel is backed in a corner they are completely surrounded in a valley by the philistines and there's no escape and here this tall handsome young man named saul who was the first king of israel i can see him as he stands in the moonlight and he looks out and from a distance and he he is he is wrapped in that garment of gloom he is riveted with fear as he sees the campfires from a distance and the torches of the philistines and he hears the laughter and the mocking knowing that there's no escape and in the morning that more powerful and strong army is about to meet him and his army and he he's tormented with the fact that god has departed from me and he hears me no more and in a moment of desperation the fear of death the dread of life after death in the condition that he is in he says is there not a medium that can give me direction i'm so desperate god won't answer me and i need to know god's plan for my life and in that moment they said there is a witch at indoor it's a cave and he at that moment decided to connect with the prince of darkness he at that moment by entering in where that medium was and this is so important because he knew the spirit of god because he knew the anointing of god he had had holy oil poured on him by the greatest prophet arguably of the old testament samuel he had been so affected by that oil that it turned him into another man and he had a heart the scripture said that had been touched by god he prophesied and the people even said is saul now among the prophets he was such a worshiper that he began to dance and sing with them now this man who had felt the presence experienced the anointing knew the joy of the lord knew the presence of god has now turned and connected with the prince of darkness turned a cave into a sanctuary of satanic worship and there he turns and he says god won't speak to me in dreams you know god can speak through he he did in the old testament often through dreams pharaoh had a dream and god spoke to him through it nebuchadnezzar had a dream god spoke to him through it solomon had dreams and god came to him in a dream and spoke to him but this was not happening he was cut off samuel the prophet was dead and then he mentions and he doesn't speak through the through the urem and and the thumbna what what is that what is that the high priest in in ancient israel the the high priest would wear a breastplate it had 12 stones representing 12 tribes of israel and then it had two big stones on the sides and those big stones were named the urem and the thumb and literally what god would do when they when the king needed guiding and leading and needed the plan of god for a crisis they would he would go to the priest and he would say do i go or do i stay is god's answer yes or is god's answer no he would go into to where the shekinah glory of god the ark of the covenant was where only the high priest could go and come out and god would literally light up one of those one of those stones and when he referred to the urum he was saying god used to god used to show me clearly his plan god used to show me clearly his direction for my life i used to i used to hear and know what god was doing in my life and i've lost that voice because of my disobedience because of my rebellion because of my constantly not listening to god time after time after time point number one of this little sermon is this if you do not listen to god if you repeatedly disobey and do not listen to god he may stop speaking to you that story teaches you simply that if you don't listen to god he may stop speaking to you in this moment he says i need to talk to samuel the prophet one more time he's dead but call him up and she begins this witch this medium she begins her incantations whatever she did i don't know what she did i don't know what she used i don't know what symbol she had that were points of contact to channel herself into the spirit realm into the supernatural but whatever she did it it it caused her to begin to see beyond that dark cave and there came a shriek and a scream from that woman that went through that cave and made the blood chill and saul came running and he said what do you see and this she said i see i see an old man in a mantle a prayer shawl and he's coming and instantly saul knew it was that old prophet samuel and when he came up he was not happy he didn't bring a good word a blessing he said why have you disturbed me notice point number two is this when you can't reach god god can still reach you and the theologians this is this is a hard one to understand this is a hard story to understand god clearly forbids people to participate in in in talking to the dead and consulting the dead in uh palm reading and fortune telling and astrology and and and fortune telling and reading of of of of poems and and and channeling and crystals and talking to rocks and praying to statues whether it be buddhist statues or whatever and burning incense this is spiritual idolatry and it is extremely dangerous for especially someone who knows the living god someone who has experienced the presence of god someone who knows the word of god you're not in the same category this scripture teaches you you do not go and touch certain things you are in great danger to mental breakdown spiritual breakdown emotional torment fear and terrifying uh emotions can tormenting spirits can begin to take over your life i don't know how any way to sugarcoat this one i gotta tell the truth like i feel it today and and the and and samuel says the kingdom has already been torn from you and it's being given to your enemy david and by this time tomorrow you and your sons will be dead now leave me alone and he left and the bible said that that handsome young tall boy fell down so weak that he fell into the sand and was weeping and he was greatly terrified there crawling on his belly in the witch's cave seeking direction for his life tarret cards spirit guides palm reading ouija boards crystals satanism spirit guides it's not just for fun it will destroy your soul especially when you've known the touch of god you can be a church member you can sing in the choir you can be a leader you can have spiritual gifts you can have the power of the anointing but the bible said of saul that god has departed from me listen to these words of a man who once had it all god has departed from me and he hears me no more you can profess christ and not possess christ you can talk the talk but not walk the walk and you can use god for what you want you see he did not want god he wanted god's direction he wanted god's blessing he wanted god's answer he did he was not seeking god if he had been seeking god he wouldn't have went to the witch he would have dropped to his knees but he wanted he wanted god's plan for his life but he didn't want god god has departed from me and he heareth me no more i serve myself i do my own thing he knew he had lost something he had a form of godliness but he denied the power spiritual idolatry is the most defensive sin to god repeated disobedience saul refused to learn the lesson that he had been taught by the prophet samuel obedience is better than sacrifice obedience he doesn't want a 21-day fast he just wants you to obey him he doesn't want you to do some big grand thing to make up for all the bad stuff you've done he'd rather you just obey him obedience is better than sacrifice obedience brings unlimited blessing on your life it may look like a small thing but little acts of obedience release unlimited blessings on your life according to deuteronomy 28 the whole first half of the chapter is pressed down shaken together running over you'll be blessed in the field god said you'll be blessed in the city you'll be the head and not the tail i'll put you up above others i'll raise you up and no man will pull you down if the enemy comes one way he'll flee seven he just keeps on stacking it and he says all of this comes from simple obedience but then the story shifts in deuteronomy 28 and the last half of the chapter is 68 mind twisting judgments that come to those who disobey when god moves out satan moves in when saul walked into that witch's cave demons began to torment his mind from that day forward it was the last night of his life and he was so tormented that he fell in fear the power of satan broke him emotionally broke him spiritually broke him mentally and they're doing it in this generation today darkness filled the mind of this man with psychotic rage and he he felt himself in a position that he didn't know what to do from being a strong powerful leader once anointed and blessed of god to crawling on his belly in the cave of a witch what happened what happened that made the angel sob in heaven what happened to to to that that caused the the scripture to say how the mighty have fallen when he died he prayed and got no respe response god has departed and he hears me no more i want to say to someone who's listening to me preach you have a choice that you have to make any choice that is other than absolute surrender to jesus christ is a disaster we've got to tell a new generation you can't have a little jesus and a little everything else and call it your faith and your religion god will not play that game with anybody he's jealous choose this day who you will serve choose this day life or death choose this day blessing or cursings choose this day light or darkness if the cross is your choice jesus christ is your choice there's no demon that can stop you there's no darkness that can stop you there's nothing in your past that can stop you from serving and loving jesus and having a beautiful blessed life in life more abundantly there is no demonic power that's authorized to defeat you if you will give yourself to jesus you open the door god will not kick the door open god will not bust through the door but if you will open the door to not accept christ is to embrace the devil rejecting the word of god is to embrace the witch that was the choice that saul had to make when god departs there is no remedy there is no word there is no hope what if the holy spirit never calls you again do you feel the tugging of the holy spirit on your soul do you hear the cry of the anointing of god saying come back to me you may never hear it again when i look at this story and i see it we think that witchcraft is something that that that that only extreme and it's radical and it's out there but you know we this really doesn't affect our life and yet when paul wrote to the church at uh in galatians he said he said who has bewitched you to believe another gospel you've turned away from the cross and you've turned away from the truth and you've turned away from the holy living and you're believing another gospel and i want to know you need to understand the word bewitched means the evil eye you're under the influence of the evil eye in galatians 6 he warned that witchcraft was a work of the flesh he names it right beside sins he says and now the works of the flesh are adultery and fornication and lying and drunkenness and right in the middle of it he puts witchcraft what is what is witchcraft rebellion is as of the scripture says this in samuel rebellion is as of the sin of witchcraft rebellion against what against spiritual authority there's righteous authority listen to me carefully there's righteous authority and there's unrighteous authority righteous authority is enforced by the holy spirit unrighteous authority is enforced by demonic powers and both are real and both have power and influence and and what you give yourself to you either are going to stay under the righteous authority of god's word or you do like saul and you step over into the dark side then you come under the authority that is unrighteous authority that is evil we see in this story that if you will not listen to god he may stop speaking to you i want to say this we see in this story number two that if you can't reach god god can still reach you because he hijacked a seance and came through it god can use demons he's in control devils are not in control he can he can he can hijack any circumstance he can while you smoking crack or shooting up or or whatever you're doing god can hijack that and cause you to have a dream or see something and show you who he is and what you need he can hijack anything he wants to if he can use a seance and a demon he can certainly use any kind of situation you're in to get a message to you he's using a preacher right now well you know pastor i'm just kind of i'm just kind of exploring christianity just doesn't quite do it for me anymore and i'm exploring new age and a little buddha helps me meditate and burn incense and crystals are bringing peace to me and yeah they're bringing something to you all right and i i really need you know it's nothing wrong i'm just playing i love jesus i love jesus jesus is all right with me but let me just check a little bit of this and a little bit of the far east stuff and let me try this religion in that religion you do it to your own detriment he was desperate for the plan of god but not for god and when she pulled the thing that got me about the story is when she pulled him up when he came up she got more than she bargained for she had seen supernatural things she had never seen something this supernatural and she knew this is this whatever this power is i've gotten a hold of it's on another level from anything that i have ever dealt with and she was right on that god is not bound he can reach you but you must open the door now let me show you where this story ends and i said all of that to get to this good part he falls to the ground he's just heard his death sentence it's in the middle of a cave of a witch he's in the dirt and he can't get up and she speaks she in verse 20 4 23 the woman urged him to eat and he rose from the ground verse 24 he had not eaten and now the woman had a fatted calf in the house she hastened to kill it she took flour needed it baked it bread unleavened so she brought it verse 25 so she brought it before saul to his servants listen and they ate they ate they ate and then they arose watched these words and went away into the night the story what has this got to do with us going into holy week here it is i feel like the lord showed me this i don't know how this came up except the lord and here it is the story ends interestingly with a meal the witch persuades saul before he leaves the cave to eat a meal the bible jesus was teaching one time and he said you cannot drink from the cup of demons and the cup of the lord at the same time you cannot eat and partake of the lord's table and the table of demons if ever there was a picture of a man who was eating from the table of the lord and drinking from the cup of the lord and now he's eating at the table of demons and drinking from the cup of demons it's this story we we could call this saul's last supper it's his final meal and it's interesting that the bible said after he ate it he went into the night he went into the darkness never to return he would the next day commit suicide by cutting himself to death by stabbing himself with a sword by by bleeding out then my mind i believe was inspired to go to the lord's supper the last supper that jesus would have with his disciples and satan was there too at that table because the bible said when judas ate that last meal after he had ate it the text said and satan entered him from that moment forward and he goes out of the last supper of jesus into the night the scripture said in the night into the darkness to never return he would sell jesus for thirty pieces of silver and ultimately become so despondent that he would tie a rope around his neck he was in such darkness like saul in that cave so afraid so terrified so mentally tormented by the powers that he had trafficked with and their messages that just like saul he took his own life and hung himself and then the lord really showed me something that blessed me and he said you want to know what the hope of the world is they don't have to enter into that dark night they don't have to take their life or cut themselves or bleed themselves or hang themselves or hate themselves because i entered into the darkness for them when did he do that pastor look at the story of the crucifixion and it was the sixth hour that's 12 noon jesus the savior the one who had never committed a sin he entered into the darkness he went through a midday midnight for you for three hours from 12 o'clock in the afternoon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon the earth went black it went pitch dark you it was like night nighttime it was evening time it was darkness in the middle of the day it was a midday midnight and jesus entered in to that darkness what happened to saul when he went into the darkness he was separated from god forever what happened to judas he was separated from jesus forever what what else happened the sins overcame them they had to pay the price the penalty for their sins jesus entered into the darkness for you and what happened he was separated from the father so that you don't have to be and he cried why have you forsaken me the cross hurts but he breaks me even more that i feel separated from you and jesus says i entered in to the darkness and i was separated from god for you so you don't have to be and i carried your shame and i carried your guilt and i carried your sin and i nailed it to the cross and i entered into a midday midnight for you so you don't have to you don't have to live in fear you don't have to live in dread you don't have to get up and live in a cave and settle and say my life is dark and it'll always be dark because of what happened to me when i was a child or because of something that's that i've messed up in my life and i can never get out of this cave of darkness no no no no no because he entered into the darkness you can enter into the light because when he rose from the dead it wasn't at night he rolled the stone away out of that cave and jesus came out into the light and he says follow the light don't go into the darkness go into the light the fear of death the dread of life after this life it's gone and when i think about what jesus did he suffered the judgment from god and bore my sins jesus went into the night so i could go into the light he was separated from the father so i could be one called by his name so i'm at the end but if you have reached out to the occult or any other religious thing other than jesus christ in the word of god for guidance i just break the curse you came to the wrong service if you're a witch i'm glad you're here i'll put what i got up against anything you got i know there's power in the name of jesus i know there's no demon that can stand in the presence of the one who rose from the dead if he could conquer the grave he can conquer anything there's no curse on you i don't care if your mama i don't care who i don't care what they did i don't care how they live there is no curse on you that the blood of jesus cannot bring you out of that dark cave you don't have to stay in the darkness you can move into the light i break the curse of horoscopes i wrote it down and i can preach it like i want to i want to get it right i break the curse of any horoscope ouija boards tarot cards crystals witchcraft eastern religions palm readers i break it off of every person under the sound of my voice and the ramifications of that action i put it under the blood of the cross and we march out of that cave in of witchcraft into the light of the glorious gospel of jesus christ hallelujah somebody shall like saul like saul some of you have played with wicked evil things you can stand up that'll give you hope just stand up with me would you i wrote this down and i heard the lord say and i'm careful when i say this but i heard the lord say don't leave you're going to miss the best part i heard the lord say to me if you will say this under my authority and in my anointing i will back this up this day and i wrote these words down yesterday i rebuked satan's attempt to destroy the home and the children and the children's children the power of satan is broken somebody needs to take authority somebody needs to quit playing with the name and the blood and the cross and understand the authority we have let the home be filled with the glory of god again in the name of jesus i pray [Music] okay so god gives me this message last week i carried part of it around and then this week he gave me some more stuff and then i walk in this morning and my daughter one of my daughters sent me a video of of something she did not know what i was studying to preach on i told no one about what i was thinking about preaching on and and and and she sent me randomly one of my daughters sent me this
