I. The Way to it.

1. CONFESSION. "We have sinned" (1Sa_7:6).

2. CONVERSION. "Return unto the Lord" (1Sa_7:3).

3. CONSECRATION. "Prepare your heart and serve Him only" (1Sa_7:3).

II. The Manner of it. It was through-

1. SACRIFICE. "A lamb for a burnt offering" (1Sa_7:10).

2. INTERCESSION. "Samuel cried unto the Lord."

3. JUDGMENT. "The Lord thundered" (1Sa_7:10).

III. The Influence of it.

1. Look UP. "The Lord hath."

2. Look BACK. "Hitherto."

3. Look BEYOND. "He hath" and He will.
