What means did God use to reveal His calling to the Apostle Samuel?

God reveals His calling through a direct, audible voice. In 1 Samuel 3, Samuel is in the temple at night when he hears the Lord call his name. He goes to Eli, thinking it is him, but Eli realizes it is the Lord speaking and guides Samuel on how to respond. Samuel then answers, “Speak, for your servant is listening,” and God proceeds to share His plans for Samuel and Israel. This shows that the calling comes through a personal, spoken word from God, rather than a dream or a messengers or a passage from Revelation. The key is Samuel’s willingness to listen and respond when God speaks.
