Saul consults a seance medium after being rejected by God: Seeking a medium is a result of rebellion against God and Jesus Christ.

When we think of spiritists, we correctly think of fortune-tellers with their crystal ball, cards, and mystic look. We also think of seances, where a medium intends to call a person back from the dead. In this chapter of 1 Samuel 28, Saul consulted with a medium to have a seance to summons a spirit from the dead about nine hundred and fifty years before the birth of Jesus Christ. In Ezekiel 13, the Israelites were engaging in spiritists activities corresponding to those who read palms, do card readings, and use a crystal ball in more modern of times. That was taking place about six hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ.

Before we go into Saul’s experience in a seance, below is a description of the crystal ball type of spiritist as written about in Ezekiel 13:17-19.

“Likewise, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and keep yourselves alive? And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?”

1. The spiritists prophesied from their own heart meaning what they had to say had nothing to do with the message God has to tell us through Jesus Christ. Their words were not the Gospel of Christ.
2. They sewed “magic charms” on their sleeves, which were add-ons to make their appearance look mystic and authoritative in those times, like the fortune tellers of modern times who wear mystic clothing and use a crystal ball etc.
3. They “made veils for the heads of every people of every height to hunt souls.” Those veils were to increase the confidence of the clients whom the “fortune-tellers” were speaking to. It would be like the modern fortune-tellers whose influence come from grabbing the confidence of their clients. It also relates to the old adage that the “fortune-tellers” always made it their practice to predict something good within their fortune-telling. Or similar to a fortune cookie. But their confidence building was to draw their clients away from belief in God and motivated the clients to hunt down souls to pull others away from belief in God.
4. The fortune tellers lead people away from the word of God and give life to themselves by making people dependent more on their fortune telling and less on the word of God. In essence, they bring death to God but give life to spiritual wickedness.
5. For just a little bit of barley and bread, they profaned the Holy name of God to make their false prophecies habit forming. It’s like the modern-day fortune-tellers, with their crystal ball etc., who had very affordable prices for their services. The more people depend on the false prophecy of fortune-tellers, the more they die to the word of God and Jesus Christ. But the fortune-tellers keep themselves alive by keeping the esteem and confidence alive of those who come to them.

With the picture below, put a veil over her face and that is a lot like the women spoken about in Ezekiel 13.

Today, the present governing system has no belief in an afterlife, ghosts, spirits, psychic abilities etc. They trust 100% in human rationale and zero % in supernatural or Divine intervention. We live in a world which serves humanism empowered by the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. Humanism is “…an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters.” They are their own society of psychics and mediums as the thing with power over physiology empowers people with uncanny knowledge to know things about the past, present, and future. It empowers people with a heightened sense of intuition etc. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people, and by what they say and do they come across as having amazing psychic abilities. By what they say and do, they are conformed to their place in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Those who live and govern for the “democratic” society prefer people to dabble in seances, fortune-telling, and other such “silliness” rather than to be drawn to God through Jesus Christ. That’s because it brings people closer to the thing which forms what people feel, think, say, and do while pulling people farther away from the Gospel of Christ. Mediums, seances, fortune-telling, etc. are truly spiritual wickedness of Satan and part of the world of the occult. We live in a world where people are mediums of the image of the beast to let it live and speak through them by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say. They are the modern era of sophisticated occultists, and their society of mediums dominate every city around the world.

In the coming verses, we will see what the scriptures say about Saul’s experience when engaging in a seance.

• God intends for the occult/spiritists to be put out and our reliance put on Jesus Christ.
• The heart of the State of Israel is terrorized by the global animosity towards them.
• Seeking spiritual help from a medium when the Spirit of God has left.
• Spiritual death to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to rely on a medium.
• Today, there is more fear of spiritual wickedness than fear of God.
• This world is comfortable among familiar spirits and honors them above God.
• The spirit of Samuel speaks to Saul, Israel, and to all of us today.
• Living life through a medium starves the Spirit of God from a person.

God intends for the occult/spiritists to be put out and reliance put on Jesus Christ. “Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.” 1 Samuel 28:3

With Samuel being dead, there was a void for a Prophet of God among the Israelites, and guess who decided to step in to fill the void. Saul did, even though God had already rejected him for disobedience to His word. Saul was no Prophet but wanted the people to see him as being a Prophet, so he did something to be seen by the whole Jewish nation. He decided to drive out the mediums and spiritists from the whole land, as required by the laws of the Old Testament.

Saul symbolizes those of today who govern by the thing which forms what people think, feel, do, and say. He desired to set himself up as a Prophet of God in order to rule over the people as the main man of God.

Today, the governing authority desires to set itself up as God in the temple of God (our body) as if it were God, “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The “man of sin” is here today, and is set up in the temple of God, our body, through the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the masses of people in every city around the world. People have become the humanity of sin and have become one with the thing which lives within their body. We live in a world where the humanity of sin dominates in every city around the world. By what they say and do, they are conformed to their place in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Humanity is following the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. That thing gives the anti-Christian humanity a form of Godliness by wearing the clothing of humanism. However, they deny God, rejects what the Lord Jesus did for us on the Cross, and blasphemes the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit says to us through 2 Timothy, “…having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” 2 Timothy 3:5 Saul wanted to portray that image of Godliness while living in disobedience to God.

The laws Saul chose to enforce would bring awareness to every home that Saul was purging evil from the land, and that he intended to enforce the law of God. It was purely political, with Saul having no intention of living by the word of God. He just wanted to exercise control over the Jewish population while setting himself up as their Prophet. Below are the laws in the Old Testament Saul chose to enforce,

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

(Necromancy is the practice of communicating with the dead, especially to predict the future.)

Exodus 22:18, Leviticus 20:27, Deuteronomy 18:10-12

The term, “familiar spirits,” should be very interesting to us today. For example, Samuel was familiar to Saul, and Saul used a medium/necromancer to call Samuel forth. When people go to a seance, or some other form of a medium etc., they expect to hear from someone they are familiar with, a familiar spirit. In today’s world, society routinely walks among conjured up familiar spirits. We constantly see somebody we know being channeled through someone else, and even the words of a familiar person are being channeled through someone else. Even the appearance, tone of voice, character, and spirit of a familiar person are channeled through others. It is done by the thing which has power over physiology and gives life to the image of the beast to live and speak through people by the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, does, and speaks.

Typical to Saul’s mode of operation and his habitual disobedience to God, he decided to consult a necromancer, within the Israelites, to contact a spirit from among the dead to foretell his future.

There is no name called from the dead, no name within the occult, no name among the spiritists, and no other name but the name of Jesus which we can call on for our Salvation. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 “For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?” Romans 10:13-14

The heart of the State of Israel is terrorized by the global animosity to their “right wing” policies. “Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at Gilboa.” 1 Samuel 28:4

The Philistines gathered to make war against the Israelites, whom they detested, and Saul gathered all of Israel about eight miles away. They were destined for battle. At this time, David is riding with the Philisitines as they are coming against Saul and all of Israel. 1 Samuel 27:1 explains how David was forced into the land of Philistines by Saul. However, David would never lift a finger against Israel, but Saul was an evil person rejected by God, similar to how Israel of today is disobedient to God by rejecting Jesus Christ. In the same way that a massive enemy came against Saul and all of Israel, judgment is coming to the State of Israel through the hands of the global government of the beast. As quoted below, only through Jesus Christ can the Jewish people be saved,

“…then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Acts 4:10-12

Today, we see the masses of people around the world gathered against Israel. There are protests against the government of the State of Israel around the world because of their police and military aggression towards the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The masses are allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them by welcoming the thing which forms what they say, feel, do, and think. By what they say and do, they are demanding that Isarael conform to the goals of the global government of the beast. They are allowing themselves to be groomed to the mark of the beast as they conform to their place within the global culture.

At the same time as what is mentioned in the above paragraph, the citizens of the State of Israel are rioting and protesting against their “right wing” government, the State of Israel. The Israelis are demanding their “democratic” rights according to the global culture. Meanwhile, the United Nations has condemned Israel and determined the actions of the government of Israel to be illegal. The UN has made the government of the State of Israel an outlaw within the international community. On top of that, the United States will not stand with Israel against the “democratic” and “peaceful” goals of the United Nations.

“When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.” 1 Samuel 28:5-6

When Saul saw how massive and strong the Philistines were, he was struck with terror. We can imagine how the government of the State of Israel must feel to have all the world come against them. When Saul sought answers from the Lord, the Lord did not answer him. Today, the judgment which God has in store for Israel is set in place, and we see that judgment progressing forward today. We know Saul was full of flatteries and praise whenever he needed something, then immediately afterwards he continued his spiritual wickedness. That was Saul’s constant pattern with David for fifteen years, until the death of Saul. That is a good example of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is not forgivable. The Lord refused to answer Saul. Likewise, God knows the heart of the Israelis and His judgment is always right. The Lord never answered Saul in dreams nor by Urim. A Urim was worn by the priests as an instrument for contacting God, similar to rosary beads of today.

Because of Saul’s terror and disconnection from God, he turned to the occult. He turned to a necromancer to have a seance to solicit advice from the dead. Today, people feel terror by being outnumbered by the masses in every city around the world who comprise the “democratic” society. The masses of the “democratic” society are filled with spiritual wickedness as they deny the existence of God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and blaspheme the Holy Spirit. To have them come against you is very intimidating and causes many to turn to the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say. It is of Satan and creates a society of mediums who allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are noted by their uncanny knowledge of past, present, and future happenings, and their heightened intuition.

In Ephesians 6:10-20, we are told that our warfare is against spiritual wickedness, not flesh and blood. We are to put on the whole armor of God of the truth in Jesus Christ, righteousness, peace, faith, assurance of Salvation, the word of God, and praying always in the Spirit.

Seeking spiritual help from a medium when the Spirit of God has left. “Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.” 1 Samuel 28:7

Saul decided to seek a medium because God would not answer him because of his spiritual wickedness. Today, people are inquiring of the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. That’s because it seems to be all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere at the same time in every city around the world. They base the direction of their life on its guidance and presence in their life. They even boast on its behalf by saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4

Saul was completely terrorized by the mass army of the Philistines confronting him, so he decided to seek help from the spiritual world. While he seeks spiritual help from an occultist, Saul has been completely cut off from the Spirit of God, as a person would be for blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Saul had been living under the influence of an evil spirit for at least fifteen years, from the very first spear he threw at the teenage boy David.

Saul is under the influence of an evil spirit when he commands a medium be brought to him to perform a seance. The necromancer would summons a spirit from the dead to give direction and an answer to Saul’s inquiry. The spiritual wickedness of Saul ran deep as he sought for a medium/occultist after ordering them out of the land of the Israelites. The medium was very easy to find and came without any search at all, Saul’s servants knew from the “top of their head” exactly where a medium was. The sweeping reforms of Saul, to rid the mediums from the land of the Israelites, was superficial and political and not deep rooted at all.

Today, the masses of the “democratic” society of the beast dominates every city around the world. They are mediums for the thing which forms their thoughts, words, feelings, and behavior as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They seek it out to connect to a world beyond the capabilities of natural human abilities. The thing they seek and live by is of Satan, filled with spiritual wickedness, and it is their Satanic ritual to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, discard the need for the Lord Jesus, and deny the reality of God. As a ritual, they afflict Christianity. They are mediums of spiritual wickedness. They are the occultists of today by allowing an entity of Satan, which gives life to the image of the beast, to form what they think, feel, do and say.

Those who live by the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors ritually terrorizes anyone who does not fit into the “democratic” society of the beast. Their society harasses and fill people with intimidation and fear to submit people, as well as eliminate them, from its global culture.

The masses of people under the influence of the thing forming their thoughts, words, behaviors, and feelings, are a culture of mediums/occultists. They live by the uncanny knowledge to know your past, present, and future events along with having a heightened sense of intuition. They consult with the thing with power over physiology for answers in life and for which direction to go in life. In this world, it seems to be all-knowing, everywhere at the same time, and all-powerful, and that is why people consult it for which direction to go in life. It blasphemes God who is all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere at the same time. It wants to sit itself up in the temple of God, our body, as if it is God. It does that by forming thoughts with uncanny knowledge, forming feelings with heightened intuition, forming words through uncanny knowledge and feelings, and forming behaviors which acts on its guidance. By what they say and do, they are conformed to their place in life among the “democratic” society of mediums and occultists. They are conformed to their place in life among those who live by “Satan’s deep secrets” (Revelations 2:24-25) as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

“So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Please conduct a séance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you.” 1 Samuel 28:8

Saul disguised himself because the last thing he wanted is for the Israelites to see him as a fraud and a man filled with spiritual wickedness. Saul wanted to be thought of as a Prophet of God, one who put out all of the mediums and occultists from the land of Israel.

Today, those who are a medium to allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them are disguising their spiritual wickedness. They are the masses of people in every city around the world who make up the global culture. They do not want people to know they are living by the “deep secrets of Satan” (Revelations 2:24-25) when they welcome the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. Their disguise is that of humanism, which uses churchy and humanitarian sounding words to lift up the creature human being while despising the Creator God. They are the wolves in sheep clothing, or rather the beast in human skin.

There is only one name we are to call on when we need direction and answers in life, and that is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. As followers of Jesus, we live by the His Gospel through the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is only given by living for Jesus. We oppose seeking answers and direction in life by consulting the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. We already know which direction it leads people to, which is a road to global tribulation by discarding the need for what Jesus did for us on the Cross, blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and denying God. As followers of Christ, we know that because God is the only one who is truly all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere at the same time.

Spiritual death to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to rely on a medium. “Then the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?” 1 Samuel 28:9

Saul was disguised so that he wouldn’t be recognized, so the woman medium was talking to Saul when she said what she said. Saul disguised himself because he didn’t want people to discover his spiritual wickedness when he was portraying himself as a man of God.

Saul was no Prophet of God, but putting mediums and spiritists out of the land was the law of God. It was a political ploy to rule over the mind and heart of the Jewish people. His hypocrisy, disobedience, and spiritual wickedness to God is obvious as he now consults a medium to do a seance to raise a spirit from the dead. In reality, God has put mediums and spiritists out of the land through Jesus Christ. As followers of Christ, we rely on Jesus who is alive with flesh and bones and is not a spirit at all. He gives us the Holy Spirit who brings life and has no bodily form that can be called forth as a spirit from the dead, He is alive within us, not in a grave among the spirits of the dead. To consult and rely on a medium brings death to God, the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit, through the Bible, makes it very clear that mediums, spiritists, necromancers, psychics, wizards, etc. are not to be confided in. Salvation comes by calling upon one name, and that is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Calling upon a spirit is evil and not of God. Trusting in spirits from the dead draws away from reliance on God through Jesus Christ and brings death to the Holy Spirit.

As followers of Christ, when the subject of mediums is presented to us, we ask, “Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?” We want no part of playing a medium to allow the image of the beast to live and speak through us by the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. It is Satanic and spiritual wickedness and a sophisticated form of the occult. People who rely on the thing which forms their thoughts and feelings are conformed to their place in life among the spiritually wicked society of mediums and occultists. They are the masses of people within the “democratic” society of the beast who dominate cities around the world. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

As Christians, the only spirit we seek is the Holy Spirit who only lifts up the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and no other name. The Holy Spirit is from the realm of life and will never be found among the spirits of the dead.

“And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.” 1 Samuel 28:10

Saul had no right to assure the seance medium that all would be well if she allowed herself to be a medium of the occult. Today, it’s the same thing as the governing authority assuring us it is OK to be a medium of the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. It is not OK, as God says through Ezekiel, “…who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace,’ “. Ezekiel plainly said that to the mediums, spiritists, false prophets, and occultists of his day, as quoted in Ezekiel 13:15-19. For a post on Ezekiel 13 click this link.

As quoted below, there are no spirits external to us that brings life. Christ is in us, and the Spirit brings life through righteousness. After we die, our body will be resurrected, not as a spirit but as a redeemed flesh and bone body. When Jesus Christ died on the Cross to atone for sin, and was resurrected from the dead, He put an end to the spirits of the dead. He gives us the Spirit of life and a redeemed body.

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Romans 8:10-11

Today, there is more fear of spiritual wickedness than fear of God. “Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.” 1 Samuel 28:11

When the question is asked of a Christian, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” We realize that a seance can never put us in contact with God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. We run far and fast from any mention of bringing someone up through a seance. No one has ever seen God at any time, He will never be seen as a spirit in human form, “No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” John 1:18 The Holy Spirit is not a human form and will never be seen in the form of a human spirit during a seance. Jesus Christ is not a spirit and will never be seen in a seance in a human likeness. He is not among the dead but has been resurrected from the grave. He is alive and living in His eternally redeemed flesh and bones body in Heaven, as quoted in the verses below,

Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit. 

And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have. When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 

But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, “Have you any food here?” So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. And He took it and ate in their presence.”

Luke 24:36-43

Because of the spiritual wickedness of Saul, he thought he could undermine God’s silence towards him by seeking answers from a human spirit of the dead. He wanted to talk to the spirit of Samuel. Saul is like the spiritual wickedness in the world today because they are not able to communicate with God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit so they try something else. That something else is the medium which allows the image of the beast to live and speak through people by what they feel, do, think, and say. It is able to summons the spirit of people we have known in the past to face us throughout the day. It is able to cause a past spirit of a person to be seen through other people. However, the spirit of that person is not of God and should not be given notice above the Lord Jesus Christ. We serve God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and none other.

The “democratic” society of the beast dominates every city around the world, and they live among the spirits of people from their past who are in their graves, and of people in their recent living past. That is a communication line for them and is spiritual wickedness because they undermine the communication with God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. They are in the same category as necromancers and wizards and are a global culture of mediums and occultists by living for Satan through the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say.

“When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!” 1 Samuel 28:12

The way the woman necromancer cried out with a loud voice, a person wouldn’t know if it was because she saw the spirit of Samuel or because she realized the person in front of her was Saul. But her words were directed more at Saul and not the spirit she had summonsed forth. At that time, she was terrified that Saul would have her killed for being a successful medium.

Today, the thing which forms what people think, feel, do, and say commands more fear than the fear of spirits from the dead. And especially it commands more fear than the Prophets of the Bible. In fact, it is able to create fear, hauntings, an atmosphere of ghosts and spirits, etc. by forming what people feel and think. It also has control over external elements such as speaking through Alexa, Serie, etc., when no prompt is given. Or is able to turn on and off TV without input from a person, and the same with lights. The list goes on and on. Even in the forming of what a person hears, things go “bump” in the night with no natural explanation. Or explanations just to “gaslight” a person. My mom, born around 1927 and now in the afterlife, would often say that her washing machine, computer, etc. “had spooks in them.” Meaning they were doing things she couldn’t naturally explain.

While the masses of the “democratic” society of the beast rejects the idea of an afterlife relating to eternal life through Jesus Christ, they leave the door open to believe in mediums, seances, spirits and ghosts. That’s because the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak has become the source which summons such activities. The people fear “Saul” more than they do the Prophets of the Bible and God Himself. It is spiritual wickedness, it is the medium into a world beyond the natural, and it requires that people allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them. It lives and speaks through people by the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words.

We live in a global culture of spiritual wickedness where mediums of Satan’s dark underworld dominate every city around the world. The Holy Spirit encourages us with these words, “….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’” Revelation 2:24-25.

This world is comfortable among familiar spirits and honors them above God. “And the king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What did you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth.” 1 Samuel28:13

Saul misled the woman by telling her not to be afraid and spoke words of peace to make her feel comfortable being a medium of spiritual wickedness. When the word of God spoke through Ezekiel about the mediums and false prophets, these words were spoken, “‘Because they lead my people astray, saying, “Peace,” when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash,” Ezekiel 13:10.

In today’s world, those who govern want us to be at peace and to feel comfortable with being a medium for spiritual wickedness. They want us to be a medium for the image of the beast which lives and speaks through us by the thing which forms what people think, feel, do, and say.

We know we are living in a world in service to Satan because the daily Satanic ritual of today’s society is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and deny the reality of God. Spiritual wickedness is whitewashed through humanitarian and churchy sounding words as humanism is the clothing worn by the “democratic” society of mediums. They are conformed to their place in life among the anti-Christian society by what they say and do. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

“So he said to her, “What is his form?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle.” And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.” 1 Samuel 28:14

The verse above is an excellent example of describing a familiar spirit relating to spiritual wickedness. Samuel was familiar to Saul, and Saul used a medium/necromancer to call Samuel forth. When people go to a seance, they expect to hear from someone they are familiar with, a familiar spirit.

In today’s world, society routinely walks among familiar spirits. We constantly see somebody we know being channeled through someone else, and even the words of a familiar person are being channeled through someone else. Even the appearance and tone of voice of a familiar person are channeled through others. It is done by the thing which has power over physiology and forms what a person feels, says, thinks, and does.

Two things in the verse above are red flags of extreme caution for the followers of Jesus Christ. Number one, we will never see God, the Lord Jesus, or the Holy Spirit being channeled through any type of medium. There is no form in which God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit can be seen as a spirit in a seance. No one has ever seen God, Jesus Christ came to reveal Him to us, as said in John 1:18. Also, Jesus Christ is not a spirit nor a ghost of any type. Today, He is alive with an eternal body of flesh and bones and has said Himself that He is not a spirit, as written in Luke 24:36-43. Also, the Holy Spirit has no form which could be recognized in a seance.

Instead of going through a medium to communicate with God, anyone can simply open the Bible and hear the message He has for us. The Holy Spirit lives within us by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus is not among the dead, but He is alive in bodily form of flesh and bones. He is now in His eternal home in the Paradise of God. Because He lives, we will also live with Him in the Paradise of God with a redeemed eternal body of flesh and bones.

The second thing is that we never ever bow down and worship any other but God through Jesus Christ, as quoted below,

Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.

Revelation 22:8-8

The spirit of Samuel speaks to Saul, Israel, and to all of us today. “Now Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” 1 Samuel 28:15a.

Samuel was not happy about being disturbed and brought up as a spirit in a seance at Saul’s request. How many of us would give consent for our spirit to be conjured up and channeled in some way by the thing which has power over physiology? Who knows in what way our “likeness” is already being used to have an effect on others according to the will of the thing which forms what people feel, think, do, and say. Their only intent is to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through people.

As followers of Jesus Christ, like Samuel, we would not be pleased at all to have our spirit, character, likeness etc. conjured up to be used for the benefit of spiritual wickedness. We do not want anything to do with someone being conformed to their place in life within the spiritually wicked “democratic” society. We do not want to be part of anyone being conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

“And Saul answered, “I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do.” 1 Samuel 28:15b.

If a person can’t hear the word of God through the Prophets of the Bible, then we are disconnected from His Spirit and not living for Jesus Christ. As quoted,

As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, who have been since the world began, that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,

To perform the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant, the oath which He swore to our father Abraham: To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear,
In Holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

Luke 1:70-75

Saul was disobedient to God and is an example of a person who blasphemes the Holy Spirit. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit hardens a person’s soul against God and Jesus Christ and there is no way to connect to God without the Holy Spirit. As a result of Saul’s hardness and disconnection from God, Saul turned to a medium of the world of spirits. Saul was terrified of the Philistines, who were coming against him in battle, and he needed spiritual answers.

The thing which forms what people think, feel, do, and say requires that the human spirit be hardened against the Spirit of Christ. By hardening a person to the Spirit, it enables people to be a medium to allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them. It is spiritual wickedness as it blasphemes the Holy Spirit, denies God, and rejects Jesus Christ. The people who welcome it into their life dominate every city around the world as the global culture. They are the mediums and occultists of today who serve the will of Satan and seek answers from the thing which has power over thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. They are groomed to the mark of the beast as their place in life is established in a land of spiritists.

“Then Samuel said: “So why do you ask me, seeing the Lord has departed from you and has become your enemy?” 1 Samuel 28:16

Samuel rightfully retorted Saul for trying to seek answers from him when Saul had already become the enemy of God because of his spiritual wickedness. As followers of Jesus Christ, our retort to those who use a medium to inquire about the word of God is the same as Samuel’s to Saul, “So why do you ask me, seeing the Lord has departed from you and has become your enemy?”

When people allow themselves to be a medium of the thing which forms what they think, feel, do and say, they are allowing the blasphemous image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are not seeking answers from God through Jesus Christ, but they are seeking guidance through a medium of spiritual wickedness. As followers of Jesus Christ, we realize there are no answers for those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit from the mercy and grace of God through Jesus Christ.

“And the Lord has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David. Because you did not obey the voice of the Lord nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the Lord has done this thing to you this day.” 1 Samuel 28:17-18

Saul lost the kingdom of Israel to David. God anointed David as king over Israel when David was just a small boy. That was done because Saul was not living by the will of God, but David was. The spiritually wicked Saul would remain as king for fifteen years, until his violent death, which is what the spirit of Samuel is referring to. David would then be crowned as the rightful king of Israel. Samuel quoted the word of God to Saul to explain to Saul why his destruction was upon him. Likewise, the rulers of this world are sitting on the throne, but Jesus Christ is the anointed King. This world will have a violent end before Jesus Christ is crowned as King of kings and Lord of lords.

For all those who live and govern for the global culture of mediums, there is only one answer which comes from the word of God. That answer is the global government of the beast being ripped out of the hand of the authority of this world and given into the hand of Jesus Christ. Those of this world refuse to obey God to serve His Son Jesus Christ. They refuse to come against the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors which enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. Revelation 18 gives details of the collapse of this world. As quoted below, it is a world of demons, and we must separate ourselves from it and live for God through Jesus Christ,

Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.

Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done.

Revelation 18:2, 4-6

 “Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lord will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.” 1 Samuel 28:19

The tribulation in this world is going to come through those who detest Jesus Christ, and it will bring the collapse of the global “democratic” society and its whole economic structure. The judgment of Israel even comes through the hands of the global government of the beast. The death of the global government is imminent, and all its “sons” who live by the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors will be delivered to their death. Not just the death of those on the earth at the time, but also the death of eternal hell in the afterlife to come.

Living life through a medium starves the Spirit of God from a person. “Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.” 1 Samuel 28:20

Because of Saul’s spiritual wickedness, he felt dreadful fear from the words coming from the spirit of Samuel. Saul was disobedient to the word of God and was severed from any communion with God, who gives true peace. Saul is an example of someone blaspheming the Holy Spirit to the point of being unforgivable. There would be no comforting words for him coming from the mouth of God. Instead, Saul was told, “For the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me.” 1 Samuel 28:17-19 Saul should never have resorted to a medium/necromancer for spiritual answers. He would have had a lot more peace and reassurance if he would have remained faithfully with God.

Today, the global government of the beast lifts up their global culture with reassurances that all is well within the global goals of the United Nations. They lift up human dignity, human respect, and self-esteem, but it is all false prophecy because it does not reflect what their destiny truly is. Like the word given to Saul, their global kingdom, and everyone who is part of it, will be torn down and ripped from their hands and Jesus Christ comes back as the King of kings and Lord of lords.

We are already seeing the beginning of the end for this present world through global warming. The intensity of global warming is the fourth plague as described in Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming is progressing hand-in-hand with the United Nations, which was established right after WW2 and formed the government of the beast, as described in Daniel 8 and Revelation 17. The thing which forms what people think, feel, do, and say is in the world today and it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. The image and mark of the beast is revealed in Revelation 13. The word of God is true Prophecy.

Like Saul, this present world’s system has no strength in them referring to the strength of God which comes through Jesus Christ who gives us the Holy Spirit. They are suffering starvation from going without the Bread of Life. This world’s system depends on people being a medium for the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. By relying on that medium, they have no nourishment from the things of God within them because they blaspheme the Holy Spirit, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and deny God. The thing which forms thoughts and feelings enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. As it lives and speaks through people, they have no regard for the word of God as they are conformed to their place in life. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

“And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was severely troubled, and said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hands and heeded the words which you spoke to me.” 1 Samuel 28:21

Those who are a medium to the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say obeys its promptings as it allows the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They give their whole life to it by becoming its vessel by which to live. It is of Satan, a medium of spiritual wickedness, and the occult of these anti-Christian times. In fact, people who welcome it are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do, which is their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast. The ritual of their spiritual wickedness is to trouble the soul of individuals who seek spiritual answers. They especially trouble the souls of those who live for Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.

“Now therefore, please, heed also the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way. But he refused and said, “I will not eat. “So his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he heeded their voice. Then he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.”” 1 Samuel 28:22-23

The governors of the “democratic” society of the beast do not recognize the service of individuals. They want to see that people are united together as one through the thing which forms what they think, feel, do and say. People who are only one and set apart from the rest of society is a signal that they are not a medium of the image of the beast who lives and speaks through the masses of the rest of society. When individuals make an offering to the “democratic” society, society’s answer is like Saul’s, “I will not eat.” However, when a group makes an offering within their “democratic” society the answer is “Yes I will eat.”

Part of behavior modification is to give positive responses for wanted behavior and negative responses for unwanted behaviors. Refusing to recognize the service of individuals is a negative response for not belonging to the society which makes themselves a medium of the thing which forms thoughts and feelings to allow the image of the beast to speak and live through them. Responding favorably to a person is a reward for belonging to the masses of people who form the “democratic” society of the beast. When Saul’s servants and the woman encouraged Saul as one voice, he did as they requested and “Then he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.” The “democratic” society are the people in every city around the world who has found their place in life by being groomed to the mark of the beast.

“Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hastened to kill it. And she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it. So she brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they rose and went away that night.” 1 Samuel 28:24-25

Mediums are rooted in spiritual wickedness referring to their blasphemy of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. What the woman medium/necromancer did symbolizes that wickedness and blasphemy. She took a fatted calf and killed it for the sake of all of Saul’s people. However, the fatted calf is part of the “scarlet cord” pointing to Jesus Christ as the sacrifice God offered for the atonement of sin. Those of today’s anti-Christian world consider themselves to be a living sacrifice as they make themselves a medium to the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. They believe what they are doing will lead to the salvation of the planet through a “democratic” global culture. That is what the goals of the United Nations is all about. They are living and walking in the hours of night, far from the light of Jesus Christ.

The medium kneaded and baked unleavened bread, which is usually symbolic of sanctification, Holiness, and the sinlessness of the Lord Jesus Christ. What the medium did is symbolic of spiritual wickedness setting itself up as being righteous in this anti-Christian world. The “democratic” society uplifts their righteousness through humanitarian and churchy sounding words while calling Christianity haters of humanity, undemocratic, and bigots. Their blasphemous righteousness is seen as they call the killing of the unborn, “Reproductive Rights,” and promoting of the LGBQT community through the “Respect for Marriage Act,” and so much more. They ignore sin by relying on the thing which has power over their physiology. They serve the thing which sits itself up as God in the temple of God, our body, as if it were God.
