Hi Eileen :)
If you still need a “defense of 1 Samuel” perhaps these will help.
Joh 11:25 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; 8)
No Medium fits this description or High Office and Power of God our Creator. :D
Rev 1:18 I died; but I am now alive until the Ages of the Ages, and I have the keys of the gates of Death and of Hades! 8)
No medium has access to the dead. They can :D :D talk to the dead day in and day out, not knowing our Creator and our God,
Luk 20:38 For He is not God of the dead, but of the living. For all live to Him.

Hi Eileen,
Consider that a medium is channeling/contacting a spirit being and if it were one of God's messengers He would have sent it, which is not the case with channeling. So you have people who are dealing with these spirits and that is opening the door to the wickedness that they can stir up. Now these spirits certainly can know things because they have been around a long time and can see what's going on in this world. So it's not surprising that they know things about people, it is unsettling to know they are watching. These spirits are referred to as "lying spirits" in the bible (1 Kings 22:22; 2 Chr 18:21) and therefore you can not believe anything that comes from them. If your sister-in-law presists with this there is nothing you can do about that, but steer far clear of these going ons yourself.
mercy, peace and love

I have no intentions of dishonoring our Lord or my husband by partaking in this nonsense. I know that if my husband could contact me, he would and I wouldn't need a medium anyway. It's not like my sister-in-law reads the bible and would come across this in Samuel anyway. I just didn't understand it when I read it. I was confused. I do, however, wish that God would bring him to me in my dreams so I could be comforted in some way.

Since we're on the topic of Samuel, I have been reading and I get confused. It's quite an interesting story and I know there is probably much meat in there but I only see it as a story right now. But what I don't get is why David keeps referring to Saul as one of God's anointed when Saul seems like a bad guy trying to kill David. Saul is disobedient. I must not be seeing the big picture.

--- End quote ---
Because Saul was anointed by the Lord to be ruler of Israel.
1 Sam 9:15-16 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying, “Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
Ultimately, Saul was convinced that David wanted to slay him and take over his rulership, but David proves to Saul that his intentions are pure:
1 Sam 24:6-7 he [David] said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.” So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul...
v9-10 David said to Saul: “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Indeed David seeks your harm’? Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you...
v16-20 So it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice and wept. Then he said to David: “You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.
And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me. For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.
And now I know indeed that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand
Hope this helps,

P.S. And looking at the bigger picture, this event with Saul & David are the words & wisdom of God being applied for 'our admonition' [1 Cor 10:11]
Rom 12:9 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good
