Saul Asks For Help From An Evil Woman At En-dor

Memory Verse: Text: 1 Samuel 28: 1-25 “ then said Saul unto his servants, seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit , that I may go to her.(1 Samuel 28:7a) Text: 1 Samuel 28: 1-25

God does not hear the prayer of a sinner but prayer of repentance Introduction The philistines gathered together to fight against Children of God(Israelites). At this time Samuel; the prophet of Israel was dead and the relationship between Saul and God is destroyed because of his disobedience every time to God. Saul prayed to God but God did not answer to him and he later went to a witch to speak with the spirit of Samuel. God does not hear the prayer of a sinner but prayer of repentance

Reasons why God did not Answer Saul’s prayer Saul did not follow the instruction of God to utterly destroy everything in Amalek. He envied and attempted to kill David because of his victory over Goliath. He was impatient to make sacrifice the priest is entitled offer. He was an unrepentant disobedient king. Every boy and Girl who want God to hear and answer their prayers must repent and ask for forgiveness of their sin

Saul went to an evil woman who is a witch: A true child of God must not return to any sin they have confess to God, so as to remain a friend of Jesus. When Saul became a king, he sent away all witches in Israel but he went back to look for one when God did not answer his prayer.

What can we learn from the life of Saul It is not enough to give your life to Jesus, you must continue to love him. When you do bad things and you are corrected, quickly pray, say sorry to Jesus and stop doing such bad things. Do not ask advice from people who are not friends of Jesus God is righteous, He will punish bad children who continue to do bad things
