Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land: To his credit, Saul obeyed the commands in the Mosaic Law to cast out those who practiced occultic arts. God commanded that mediums and spiritists, (those who either can or claim to contact the dead and spirit beings) have no place among His people in passages such as Leviticus 19:31, 20:6, 27 and in Deuteronomy 18:9-14. Saul did this in his earlier days, when he was still influenced by Samuel’s leadership. Things such as tarot cards, palm readers, horoscopes and Ouija Boards are modern attempts to practice forms of spiritism. They are dangerous links to the demonic, even if undertaken in a spirit of fun. Christians should have nothing to do with occultic arts or practices. When Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him: Saul is in a terrible place. The Philistines threaten Israel, Saul’s courage has failed him, and now God is silent when Saul seeks Him. Saul hoped that God would speak to him through dreams, but God was silent. He hoped God would speak to him through the Urim, but God was silent. He wanted to hear from God through the prophets, but God would not talk to Saul. Why was God silent towards Saul? Won’t God answer everyone who seeks Him? Not always, not when a man is in a place of judgment as Saul was. King Saul has rejected and is currently rejecting God’s previously revealed will. Since Saul doesn’t care to obey God in what he already knows, God would not give him more to know.When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. Why the medium so shocked? Probably she was a fraud, and most of her dealings with the spirit realm were mere tricks. Now, Samuel really appears from the world beyond, and she is completely surprised to have a real encounter with the spirit realm. I would say that this medium was familiar with the presence of demonic spirits, the presence of the Holy Spirit was probably completely unfamiliar to her. The holy presence of the Holy Spirit may have seemed terrifying to her. The indications are that this was an extraordinary event for her, and a frightening one because she was not in control. 
When we close our ears to God, He will find unusual, and perhaps uncomfortable, ways to speak to us. That he did appear to Saul, there can be no question, but he did not come in response to her call. He was sent of God, for the express purpose of rebuking Saul for his unholy traffic with these evil things, and to pronounce his doom.

Silver Surfer,
Jesus Christ unlocked the door to your prison cell. All you have to do is realize the door is unlocked and come out.
Love In Christ, Tom
"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. 119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments". (Psalms 119:165). But without, Grace you don't have salvation SS. Salvation is the only way to the Father. I have my salvation, I follow the laws as best as I can. Even Jesus knows not everyone can follow the laws 100%. Do you follow the laws 100% SS?

Hanoi John. Kerry made a huge mistake in trying to make folks think about 30+ years ago. The election should be about the here and now, but that looks even worse for Kerry. Kerry's biggest and most difficult debate is with himself. If this wasn't about the office of President, Kerry could get paid big bucks for comedy. Kerry can play himself, and nobody knows who he is or what he stands for.
Tom
And thats a  post.
