The Medium of Endor

Hello and thank you for being with us today. I wish all the new members a big welcome and it is my hope if you are not saved, then why not today? Those of you that are saved I hope in some way the message I write will help to build you up in the faith.

I am writing this message today because of two reasons. 1. There are people today who seek astrology, palm readers, mediums, and seers (or people who claim to be prophets), to seek answers instead of going to the lord in prayer. It is an abomination and it is confusion. I cannot apologize for that. 2. The Bible (King James Version) is our means of knowing the lord and it has many teachings and messages in it that will have the answer to anything in your life. But you have to read it; if you are not saved, you can read it but unless you have been sealed by the Holy Spirit, you can't understand it.

Here is an example of a man that was the First king over Israel when they chose not to follow the lord but they would have a King to reign over them, like everybody else had. The Prophet Samuel was displeased when the people had asked for a King and the lord told him, make them a King, they have not rejected you they have rejected ME.

The story goes in 1Samuel how that Saul, son of Kish is chosen, so Samuel anoints Saul as he was looking for his father's donkeys. Then it was so; Now Samuel had already told the people the manner of King Saul would be, but they said "Nay, but we will have a King".

It didn't take very long for the Lord to repent of having made him King, so the lord spoke to Samuel and asked him, 1Samuel 16:1 And the lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

This was of course David.

The story got worse after David slew Goliath and was then spoken of by the women that Saul hath slain his thousands and David his ten thousands. Saul sought to kill him from then on.

David had to flee and hide for a while and it came to pass as David was with the Philistines, that they rejected David going out with them on what would be the final battle of Saul for fear David would turn against them in battle.

When Saul looked on the Philistines,(this particular time) he became very afraid and sought the Lord, the lord would no longer answer him, so in man's wisdom, as people do today if they don't get an answer they will seek out other means. Saul forced the sacrifice earlier on because Samuel was late and then Samuel told Saul had he not done that that his kingdom would have been established.

Back to the Philistine battle at Gilboa; Samuel had died before this and since the lord wouldn't speak to Saul anymore he seeks out a medium and disguises himself. Apparently the medium was a fake because when Saul asked her to bring us Samuel, she cries out with a loud voice and then recognizes not only what she saw was real but that she was sitting in front of Saul himself who had sent out a proclamation to kill all the mediums. If she had been a true prophet she would have known Saul was coming in the first place. See how this goes; 1 Samuel 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spake to Saul saying, Why hast thou deceived me? For thou art Saul. 13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. 14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. 15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. 16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then doest thou ask me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? Verse 19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shalt thy and thy sons be with me: the Lord also deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

If there is one thing you should learn here, was no matter what Saul did, he was going to die the next day and his sons.

So, what am I saying? Even though Saul went to the medium and he called Samuel up, he was going to die and the next day anyway. So, if you think soothsayers and false prophets, or (fill in your own blank-----------) can help you, you are mistaken, the Will of the Lord, Will Be Done.

I am saddened that so many churches today claim to have all these prophets, tongues, etc., and they are not all saying the same thing. In this age we live in the prophets are no more and if they are they will be only quoting the Word of God that is already written. I am sorry that so many people are taken in financially and spiritually by these con artists. If it doesn't line up with the Word of God Rightly Divided, then stay away from it, for your own sake.

What do I mean when I say rightly divided? The only place you can find the Gospel of your Salvation in this time we live in(The Dispensation of the Grace of God), is in the Books of Romans through Philemon. The other Books in the Bible are true as well, but they were for a different time and to mostly Jews. Today Jew and Gentile or whatever nation or race you are from makes no difference, today you can only be saved By the Grace of God, who sent His Son to die for you on a sinners cross, Jesus took your place on that cross and you cant find it anywhere else for salvation by Grace through faith than in Paul Epistles. The whole Bible is written for our learning and admonition but it is not all written directly TO YOU. Romans through Philemon is. If you are not saved today, then as with Saul, you are in a bad situation. I urge you to seek salvation today, there is no sin that Jesus didn't die for on your behalf, you cannot be bad enough for God not to accept you, but if you turn your back on His Son after He was delivered up to die for you on that cross in A.D. 33, Then there is no other means by which you can be saved today.

I have written this message not to scare you or to get you to send money, I don't have anything to sell you. My only purpose is to show you your sins are forgiven if you will just Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. I love you and I have seen all too well what goes on in churches today, and I am saddened by it because I hardly ever hear anyone read scripture from the Bible or if they do it is a sentence or two, then the grand finally is to tell you a sob story and get everyone emotionally moved to come down to the altar. Folks, you can repent until it snows in July and it wont get you saved, you have to TRUST what the Lord already has done for you, before you were ever born He knew who would and would not receive Him.

If the rapture came right now, this moment, would you still be here? If so, don't believe those books out there giving you another chance in the tribulation period. You will be given a strong delusion and believe a lie (antichrist) and be damned, why? Because you received not the LOVE of the TRUTH, that you might be saved.

I don't want to see anyone go to Hell, but it exists and the Lord spoke about it more than He did heaven. Read it for yourself and see, never, ever, take my word or anyone else's word when it comes to your salvation, it is not something anyone can do for you, The Lord Has already done everything that needs to be done for you, the question is, Will you Believe it?

Amen.
