I've been shown is that if we find our culture, whether Christian church culture, so-called or the unbeleiving heathen culture that exists around us have very little appetite for God's Word or His authority in their life, to not take this as a big surprise.In 1 Samuel 2 Hannah was praying for a son, being beset by Elkanah's other wife who had all these kids and seemed to use this over Hannah as a sort of backbiting nitpicky mean edge to make Hannah's life miserable. It didn't help that Hannah was also the prettier one and Elkanah would give her lots of favor. So why was Hannah's prayer so full of spiritual triumph and exultation to such a high prophetic degree when she finally got her prayer answered? I think its worth posting the whole prayer here because so few people even know this prayer exists:Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exults and triumphs in the Lord; my horn (my strength) is lifted up in the Lord. My mouth is no longer silent, for it is opened wide over my enemies, because I rejoice in Your salvation.2 There is none holy like the Lord, there is none besides You; there is no Rock like our God.3 Talk no more so very proudly; let not arrogance go forth from your mouth, for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.4 The bows of the mighty are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children languishes and is forlorn.6 The Lord slays and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He lifts up.8 He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifts up the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with nobles and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon them.9 He will guard the feet of His godly ones, but the wicked shall be silenced and perish in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them will He thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge [all peoples] to the ends of the earth; and He will give strength to His King and exalt the power of His anointed.BUY MY SUPERNATURAL NOVEL!https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Romance-Episode-1-ebook/dp/B07ZRJV6SHDOWNLOAD THE APP!fringeradionetwork.comDON BASHAM MINISTRIES 1,000,000,000 GIVE SEND GO:https://www.givesendgo.com/bashamPAYPAL:[email protected]:3H4Z2X22DuVUjWPsXKPEsWZmT9c4hDmYvyVENMO:@faithbucksCASHAPP:$spiritforcebucksZelle:[email protected]:Michael BashamHOME BASE SITE:faithbucks.com
