It<00:02:54.219><c> truly</c><00:02:54.580><c> was</c><00:02:55.020><c> the</c><00:02:55.340><c> transforming</c><00:02:55.960><c> power</c><00:02:56.819><c> in</c><00:02:57.560><c> the</c><00:02:57.819><c> life</c><00:02:58.099><c> of</c><00:02:58.479><c> Samuel</c>

The<00:19:16.740><c> house</c><00:19:17.059><c> will</c><00:19:17.279><c> be</c><00:19:17.480><c> burned</c><00:19:17.700><c> and</c><00:19:18.160><c> destroyed</c><00:19:18.519><c> as</c><00:19:18.960><c> it</c><00:19:19.180><c> was</c><00:19:19.299><c> in</c>

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.240
There<00:19:24.339><c> will</c><00:19:24.680><c> be</c><00:19:24.940><c> prophetic</c><00:19:25.519><c> ministry.</c>

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:41.380
It<00:19:36.140><c> puts</c><00:19:36.539><c> a</c><00:19:36.859><c> prophetic</c><00:19:37.859><c> importance</c><00:19:38.779><c> around</c><00:19:39.200><c> the</c><00:19:39.480><c> rule,</c><00:19:40.039><c> therefore,</c><00:19:40.579><c> of</c><00:19:40.920><c> Samuel</c>

00:28:52.859 --> 00:28:56.819

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:27.079
Now<00:33:24.359><c> we</c><00:33:24.559><c> said</c><00:33:24.880><c> in</c><00:33:25.339><c> a</c><00:33:25.519><c> previous</c><00:33:25.839><c> class</c>

00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:48.679
Here<00:44:45.880><c> was</c><00:44:46.079><c> an</c><00:44:46.380><c> ideal</c><00:44:46.679><c> opportunity</c><00:44:47.260><c> for</c><00:44:47.539><c> an</c><00:44:47.800><c> ambush,</c>

00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:51.699

00:44:52.059 --> 00:44:55.760
All<00:44:52.539><c> he</c><00:44:52.820><c> uses</c><00:44:53.440><c> is</c><00:44:53.840><c> the</c><00:44:54.119><c> forces</c><00:44:54.460><c> of</c><00:44:54.760><c> nature.</c>

00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:00.619
God<00:44:57.780><c> thunders</c><00:44:58.480><c> and</c><00:44:58.980><c> the</c><00:44:59.239><c> Philistines</c><00:44:59.699><c> flee.</c>

00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:02.820
Did<00:45:01.019><c> they</c><00:45:01.239><c> ever</c><00:45:01.500><c> need</c><00:45:01.739><c> chariots?</c>

00:45:07.579 --> 00:45:10.619
Yahweh<00:45:07.960><c> was</c><00:45:08.460><c> a</c><00:45:08.639><c> God</c><00:45:08.800><c> of</c><00:45:08.980><c> war,</c><00:45:09.719><c> as</c><00:45:09.880><c> Scripture</c><00:45:10.199><c> says.</c>

00:45:10.940 --> 00:45:11.980
He<00:45:11.159><c> could</c><00:45:11.340><c> do</c><00:45:11.460><c> it</c><00:45:11.699><c> all.</c>

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.800
They<00:45:12.179><c> didn't</c><00:45:12.480><c> need</c><00:45:12.980><c> the</c><00:45:13.320><c> force</c><00:45:13.539><c> of</c><00:45:13.699><c> the</c><00:45:13.920><c> flesh.</c>

00:45:15.179 --> 00:45:20.780
So<00:45:15.539><c> God</c><00:45:16.000><c> helps</c><00:45:16.639><c> Samuel,</c><00:45:17.360><c> and</c><00:45:17.780><c> he</c><00:45:17.960><c> helps</c><00:45:18.139><c> the</c><00:45:18.420><c> people,</c><00:45:19.239><c> have</c><00:45:19.480><c> faith.</c>

00:45:30.139 --> 00:45:34.699
When<00:45:30.780><c> Yahweh</c><00:45:31.420><c> proves</c><00:45:31.940><c> that</c><00:45:32.199><c> he</c><00:45:32.380><c> is</c><00:45:32.760><c> the</c><00:45:33.019><c> God</c><00:45:33.400><c> of</c><00:45:33.619><c> Israel,</c>
