DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE

1 Samuel 1

Barren by loved Child bearing was the job of the wife Barrenness of Hannah didn’t stop her husband loving her Fruitfulness of second wife didn’t make her husband love her more God is the reason why He loves you not you I am well pleased with You – God said to Jesus

Barren by desperate Some things you need learn to cope with but there are some you can’t (sin or bondage, appearance, personality) Don’t be satisfied with double portion like Saul’s daughter was Hannah and Eli both were barren. One was content another was desperate Desperate cry will always offend the complacent but will never offend Christ Bartemaous, Gentile woman, Mordicai, sinful of woman. Fervent prayer of righteous man does much As much as desperate offend complacent, complacent offend Chris Being content while being barren is BALLOON Christian. Full of air or nothing Hannah got a breakthrough for herself and for him. Joseph and Paul of India got breakthrough for enemies There are two places where people are quit and decent: in coffin and in sleep

Prayer is the greatest outlet for pain She didn’t hurt those who could hurt. David didn’t hurt Saul when he could. Hurt hurts others She didn’t get bitter at God, He closed her womb You can’t control what happens to you but determine what happens in you (knife, delay) Jesus was hurt emotionally in garden and physically on the cross Call on Me in the day of trouble (old mule stuck in the pit…shake off the dirt and step on it)

Worship in advance Worship before breakthrough is an act of faith. If my dad promises phone, joy comes with promise not product Sing oh barren (Is.54:1). Rejoice oh barren (Gal.4:24). Antidote for heaviness is praise Worship like Job, Hezekiah, Paul, Gentile woman Satan is allergic and annoyed by worship. God ordained praise to silence the enemy

Desperate barren women always gave birth to revolutionaries Sarah to Isaac. Rebecca to Jacob. Rachel to Joseph. Manoah’s wife to Samson. Hannah to Samuel. Elizabeth to John Daddy don’t lie. He doesn’t have reason to…He loves and can afford. Your children will come home. You will be free. You will be healed. You will prosper
