INTRODUCTION
Last week, we learnt that God's work cannot be done in the flesh and that whatsoever we become in life is by the power of God as it is written “not by might nor by power but the Spirit of God”.
Today, as we continue in our studies, may the Lord Himself teach us His word and bless us richly in Jesus Name.
1. THE LORD ANSWERS NOT THE SINNERS
Living our lives in ungodly ways (in sins) instead of submitting to the will of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit will cut us off from God's help.
Calling upon Him therefore will be useless, unless we turn away from our sins and unrighteousness.
I Sam. 28:6, Isa. 59:1-2, Prov. 1:28-29, Jer. 14:10-12, Ezek. 8:17- 18, Isa. 1:15, Ps. 66:18, Job 27:8-9, Ps. 18:41, Jam. 4:3, 2 Chro. 7:14-15.
2. SEEKING ANSWERS FROM THE DEVIL (EVIL SPIRITS)
Turning to divination or a medium to seek for solution is not only the deception of the devil but also a terrible sin against the living God.
I Sam. 28:7-11, Deut.18:9-12, Lev. 19:26-31, Ps. 106:28-29, I Sam. 28:12, Heb. 9:27, I Sam. 28:15-19, Jer. 17:9, Col. 2:8, Isa. 8:19-20, Exo. 22:18, Act 16:16-18.
