Saul was the first King of Israel
![Page 4: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
He began well
![Page 5: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But his reign ended badly
![Page 6: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
He offered burnt and peace offerings
![Page 7: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
He kept the Amalakite king
alive and kept the best animals
![Page 8: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
He was jealous
and tried to kill David.
![Page 9: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
God was angry because of Saul’s
sins.
![Page 10: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
He declared that none of his
descendants would rule.
![Page 11: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
God removed His Spirit from Saul.
![Page 12: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
God permitted Saul to be troubled by
an evil spirit.
![Page 13: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
God stopped communicating with Saul, and Samuel died.
![Page 14: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
THE SITUATION
![Page 15: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Philistines were gathering to attack
Israel.
![Page 16: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Saul’s army was outnumbered
![Page 18: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Saul was afraid, and wanted guidance.
![Page 19: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
On the night before the battle Saul in disguise, visited a
medium.
![Page 20: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Going to witches was a pagan
practice.
![Page 21: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
God had forbidden such things by His
people.
![Page 22: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
They had revelation from God
![Page 23: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
God wasn’t speaking to Him; and he was never fully committed to
obeying God.
![Page 24: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Saul wanted to contact Samuel
![Page 25: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SAUL’S SCARY SÉANCE
![Page 26: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The medium attempted to
contact Samuel.
![Page 27: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
She was terrified when he actually appeared to her!
![Page 28: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

It wasn’t a ghost, nor Samuel’s spirit,
but perhaps a demon.
![Page 30: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
His message
frightened Saul:
![Page 31: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You will lose the battle.
![Page 32: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You and your sons will die.
![Page 33: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
David will be given the kingdom

His sons were killed in battle.
![Page 38: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Saul fell on his sword to avoid being
captured.
![Page 39: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

shan.

1 Chronicles 10:13-14 explain God’s
control of the
circumstances.
![Page 42: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David, son of Jesse.
![Page 43: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
WHAT DO WE LEARN?
![Page 44: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Have nothing to do with the occult of any form, ever!
![Page 45: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
God tells us all we need to know in the
Bible.
![Page 46: King Saul’s Secret Séance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584bc81d8b42a9c768b4f49/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
God never turns his back on us, unless
we 1st turn our backs on Him.
