Since That Day(1 Samuel 3:19)
The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground.
Hymn #248 Father, God in Heav’n Above
People who suffer from incurable diseases, depression, or harsh environments often mistake what isn’t an answer for a true answer. Hannah also wandered in suffering and Israel was facing national hardship. Although Abraham received a promise of a tremendous answer, he treated the bare necessities of life that include food, clothing, and shelter as the answer. The people in the wilderness also thought that not starving to death was the answer. They couldn’t see God’s prepared tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, and the Three Feasts as the true answer. The real answer was gaining strength to evangelize the Philistines, but they thought simply defeating the Philistines was the answer. Hannah discovered the secret of the answer and relayed it to Samuel, and while Samuel was praying, he heard God’s voice. When God’s temple and God’s Bartizan came upon Samuel, not a single word he spoke fell to the ground. You also must build the Bartizan of the Lord in your heart, let the Word come upon you, and wait for the work of the Holy Spirit.
1. Experience of the Lord's Tabernacle, Temple, and Bartizan(1 Corinthians 3:16) - Heavenly Mandate
Eli was lying in his own chamber, but Samuel was lying beside the ark of the covenant. At that time, he heard God’s voice. From that day on, not a single word Samuel spoke fell to the ground.
2. Start of the Lord's Bartizan Prayer(1 Samuel 3:19) - Calling
When the Philistines attacked, the high priest Eli and his two sons died, and the ark of the covenant was taken. But through Samuel’s prayer, wherever the ark arrived, disaster struck, and the ark was returned. When Jesus heard Peter’s confession, He said He’d personally build His church on the rock.
3. The Commission of the One in Whom the Lord’s Temple and Bartizan Have Been Established
When Samuel told Israel to throwaway all idols and come before the altar, the Philistines heard this and attacked. However, God struck the Philistines in advance. As long as Samuel lived, there was no war. You must grow this strength.
You must hold onto the promise of the Word that Jesus gave and pray(Matthew 4:19, 11:28, 28:18, 20, Mark 3:13~15, 16:19~20, Acts 1:3). You can pray for God to give you a Bartizan to save your family line, the world, and the field, and pray for the sure covenant and temple to come upon you.
