DISTRESSED

1 SAMUEL 28:15:
"I AM DEEPLY DISTRESSED; FOR THE PHILISTINES MAKE WAR AGAINST ME, AND GOD HAS DEPARTED FROM ME AND DOES NOT ANSWER ME ANYMORE, NEITHER BY PROPHETS NOR BY DREAMS. THEREFORE I HAVE CALLED YOU, THAT YOU MAY REVEAL TO ME WHAT I SHOULD DO."

Saul went to a medium and a spiritist, to get a word from God because he was distressed and believed that God had departed from him. God was not speaking to Saul in anyway. The woman medium saw Samuel in Paradise and knew that this was Saul she was talking to. Even though she was a spiritists, God is the One Who opens the understanding to His Truth. As soon as she saw Samuel, she knew.

Now Samuel said to Saul, "So why do you ask me, seeing the Lord has departed from you and has become your enemy?"

Again even though Samuel is living in the Lower sector of Heaven, Saul is wanting to get Samuel to help him with God. Samuel said; "God has done for Himself, what He spoke by me."

QUESTION:
1.) Did God say, "I have removed the kingdom, and the kingship from you Saul."
2.) Did Saul understand that God had removed the kingdom and The Word Of The Lord from him?
3.) Could distress cause you to turn to Satan for information?
