Samuel restored Israel's ability to hear God during a spiritual drought, mentoring new leaders and restructuring the community. The speaker warns that trying to hold two seasons at once causes stagnation. Ask the Holy Spirit which season you're bridging, what must end, and what must begin.
Number 4, the transitional prophet Samuel. You find this in 1 Samuel 3:19-21. The Lord was with Samuel and let none of his words fall to the ground. Samuel restored hearing in a season when revelation was rare. Reformers who guide the church from one season to the next are the Samuel type. They mentor, they restructure, and they raise up new leaders. God forms discernment and endurance in these men and women of God. Now I need you to hear me. The pitfall— this is what you need to be aware of— trying to hold 2 seasons, trying to hold 2 seasons too long. Ask the Holy Spirit, what season am I bridging? Identify what must end and what must begin. Okay.
