In this powerful message, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas unpack the true cost of carrying a prophetic call. Using the confrontation between Samuel and Saul as a prophetic mirror, they reveal the tension between self-preservation and God-preservation—and the devastating consequences when we choose our own kingdom over His. Through vivid insight, they expose how self-protection disguises itself as holiness, yet ultimately blinds us to God’s voice, hardens the heart, and turns the very pain we avoid into the curse we become.
Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan guide listeners into the sobering reality that prophecy is not merely spoken—it is carried. The weight of God’s word transforms, presses, and demands alignment, and while rebellion makes the call feel light, obedience makes its glory felt. Samuel’s anguish, Saul’s resistance, and David’s willingness become a prophetic blueprint for every believer who desires to walk in intimacy rather than image.
This sermon calls the Church to awaken from comfort, abandon self-preservation, and return to the seriousness of the prophetic mantle. It challenges each of us to ask: Am I carrying the weight of the word God entrusted to me? For those ready to step into maturity, this message is both a rebuke and an invitation into God’s heartfield—where His kingdom, not ours, becomes the priority.
