Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.” 1 Samuel 3:10

What a privilege! God goes wherever we are and remains until we have believed in Him and permitted the doing of His work revealed to us by his Word. Then our life changes and begins to be truly blessed.  Seek to keep Him at your side, and your problems will come to an end.  They who do not have the Almighty live in need, but those who have and keep the faith and exercise it are proven to be victorious in any situation. 

God remained with Samuel to give him a wholesome growth, to protect him from illnesses and assist him in the temptations which would be forthcoming.  The Lord proceeds in this manner in favor of those who place their faith in Jesus.  If you do this, you will have the best of the Most High.  One must have patience, but at the same time be firm with those who suffer, for they have not yet understood what it is to serve God. 

With the Almighty at your side, none of the revelations you received will fail.   For this reason believe: the wonders that happened with Samuel will also be a reality for you and for those who received Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  When faith in Christ dwells in your heart, this brings to an end the works of the devil in your life, the life of your family and of those under your spiritual authority.  

Prepare yourself to be used by God, as was Hannah’s son.  As you receive a word from the Almighty, consider it an order.  The moment that the Lord gives you a promise, you become that person that He purposed and planned.  Then the devil will have to obey you, if you rebuke and expel him using the glorious Name of Jesus. 

The heavenly Father’s insistence is due to our unpreparedness to hear His voice and believe in Him.  Now, but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12), those who enjoyed the attention and protection of the Almighty.  The newly born to the divine family have the same power as those who have been long saved and therefore have  the conditions to perform the work like Jesus did. 

As we review the summaries of the works of Samuel under the direction of God, we see him as a servant who greatly pleased the Lord.  The Father expects to say this about us; after all, He called us to belong to His eternal Glory. The divine work is much greater than the doctrine of the length of the sisters’ hair, the type of clothes to be used, or if jewelry is allowed.  Those who do not live in holiness are self-deceiving and do not have the love of God!

Having learned to listen to the Lord, the successor to Eli was successful. God always raises one to be a successor to His servants.  Therefore, prepare yourself! It must be said of you: “Here is someone who did what the Father ordered, being a living instrument in His hands!”  Halleluiah!

In Christ, with Love,
