1. THE ROAD TO RUIN
1 Samuel 28,

2. 2 Timothy 3.16
All Scripture is inspired (breathed out) by God and is profitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness that the (wo)man of God may be equipped for every good work

3. REJECTION Saul rejected by God for gross disobedience (1 Samuel 15)
Pain accompanying rejection
God changing side to the Philistines
Paul & rejection by/of the Jews (Rom 9)
Jesus and rejection

4. REGRESSION The jilted lover Loss of Samuel & Philistine threat
Saul was afraid & terror filled his heart
Silence from God
A medium to the rescue?
Darkness without; a void within
Danger of acting out of character

5. RESULTS Bringing up Samuel Western mindset and occultism
WW2 losses & later eastern influence
Samuel reconfirms Saul`s fate

6. RUIN Samuel`s prophecy fulfilled
Saul took his own sword and fell on it

7. RELEVANCE Don`t mess with God Don`t mess with the occult
Total renunciation of occult involvement needed
God will always have the last word
