Scripture References, Word & Phrase descriptions: the “Logos Reftagger” scripture links are hover pop-up active, meaning the scripture reference will just pop-up if you hover your cursor over it (don’t click on the link, just hover your cursor over it), when finished reading, hover your cursor off the scripture reference link. If the Reftagger pop-up doesn’t show all the verses, left click on the “More” button in the Reftagger pop-up window and it will take you to the online bible. If RefTagger pop-ups don’t work on your computer, that’s OK, try right clicking the link then open in new tab or window; or if that doesn’t work, you can always use your Bible to look up the verses. Word or Phrase definition links may not have a website that opens.
Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, only if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is; you have believed [trusted] in Him for His promised gift of eternal life) John 3:16, John 6:47 as a few examples; it is very important to prepare yourself to learn God's Word so the Holy Spirit can teach you as to what your reading or hearing is true or false. To be taught by the Holy Spirit you must be filled with the Holy Spirit which means abiding in Christ. To place yourself in fellowship with God the Holy Spirit [also called abiding in the Christ], take a moment to simply name, cite or acknowledge [confess] your known unconfessed sins privately to God (i.e.; with your thoughts directed only to God the Father). Why? Because you cannot grow spiritually if you’re not abiding in Christ [in fellowship with Him] when you take in bible truth.
1 John 1:9, says: “If we confess [meaning to simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known unconfessed sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins];” NKJV (New King James Version); we call this REBOUND; read the full doctrine as to “why” we need to use 1 John 1:9 to grow spiritually. Left click the following link to learn more and fully understand the doctrine of Rebound; which answers the question, why do I need to keep confessing my sins all the time? REBOUND
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is the Son of God, the promised Messiah, as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins; the issue for you is to simply exercise faith alone in Jesus Christ alone eternal life; when you do, you will instantly receive Eternal Life: John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47, 20:30, 31.
John 6:47 says: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life." NKJV
Notice again what Jesus said in John 6:47: "…he who believes in Me (Jesus Christ) has everlasting life." It doesn't say, "will have"; it says, "has." Therefore, the very moment you believe in Jesus Christ for His promise of everlasting life, you have it (it's really just that simple; nothing more and nothing less), and it can never be taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift (Ephesians 2:8c) of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-15, 16, 17, 18, says: "14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." NKJV
Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for worship and learning God's Word. If there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:
Study to show yourself approved to God!

Negative volition also refers to the believer who takes in doctrine until he reaches maturity but reacts to disillusion, boredom, discouragement, self-pity, frustration, or some other reactor factors in his soul, which becomes an obsession.
Saul’s reactor factor in his life was his jealousy of David.
He wound up under reverse process reversionism and the sin unto death.
Negative emotionalism describes the believer who becomes negative to doctrine.
In his emotional revolt, he uses his emotion as the criterion or the standard for everything.
Satan administers his authority by means of a great invisible host of fallen angels known as demons. In Rev 12:4, Satan convinced one-third of the angels in heaven to follow him in his rebellion against God.
Satan specializes in unseen or invisible attacks.
It is when a demon possesses a man that some obvious evil comes into the picture.
Ever since Gen 6, when demons had sexual intercourse with the women on the earth, certain fallen angels have been placed in a prison, 2Pe 2:4; Jude 6.
Demon influence and-or demon possession is now the order of the day.
However, free will involvement is the only way demons can operate.
The witch of Endor lived a long, long time ago in a land when human sacrifice was offered up to idols. Only a weirdo would follow such a weird god.
1. Demon possession does not always mean abnormal behavior.
2. God ordained capital punishment for anyone who was demon possessed in Israel, Lev 20:27.
3. Demons are also the gods of many nations, Psa 96:5.
4. Demonism is also the source of murder.
Satan has the power of death which he has delegated to demons when permitted to do so, 1Jo 3:8; Heb 2:14-15.
Job had 10 children (7 sons and 3 daughters) and Satan had them killed by demons, Job 1:12-19. It was some demon under Satan’s command that motivated Cain to kill Abel, 1Jo 3:12; Jn 8:44. Satan was also given the opportunity of executing the sin unto death to a born-again believer in Corinth, 1Co 5:5.
We have the thorn in the flesh, 2Co 12:7, the skin cancer that came to Job in Job 2:6-8. Many other diseases like deafness, dumbness, blindness.
Here we have a case of the obh or the ventriloquist demon. A trance means the woman has lost consciousness and the demon now speaks using the vocal chords of the unconscious person.
The dead really came back from the dead. At the end of this chapter the witch of Endor ends up being the woman of Endor.
In the battle of Giboea which was about to take place, Saul will be outsmarted and out-thought by King Achish.
He once had the Spirit of God upon him mightily, 1Sa 11:6.
He was also very humble says 1Sa 9:21.
The Lord anointed him king over Israel, 1Sa 15:17.
In 2Sa 21:6, Saul was the chosen one of the Lord.
A believer minus doctrine is dumber than an unbeliever.
1. He can stay a backslider or reversionist until he dies the sin unto death.
2. He can rebound and recover (as David did).
You can reap what you sow or you can reap what God sows.
Nebuchadnezzar - the disease he received from jealousy, lycanthrope disease, is acting like a wolf or an animal.
He either uses words as a smoke screen or silence. In life, people are going to tell you one thing and mean something entirely different.
What has happened to Saul in reversionism explains why many believers begin with doctrine as Saul did, sound, conservative, courageous, but they give lip service to doctrine and reversionism always changes these people.
Life is something that continually changes. We not only undergo physical changes as we stay in this world, we also undergo mental and spiritual changes.
Whether you like it or not, you are in a constant state of change. The importance of things can be measured by how much time we are willing to invest in them.
The key to change is to let go of fear. The only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
If we don’t change our direction we’re likely to end up where we’re headed.
- Chinese Proverb
We must change if things are to get better.
No believer ever enters into a reversionism or a backslidden state without first destroying himself and then everyone connected with him.
People play a little game sometimes called, “Who’s not here?”
Gal 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care lest you be consumed by one another.
The priests would communicate the written word, and Samuel and the prophets would communicate the spoken word through revelation.
Samuel wrote 1Sa and 2Sa; after his death the prophets Nathan and Gad finished out the parts of Samuel that Samuel did not finish; 1Ch 29:29 tells us that.
Death meant to Samuel that his work was finished; he was a prophet and a priest.
