A Praying Mom, Circumstances Vs Attitudes?

A PRAYING MOMMA: CIRCUMSTANCES VS ATTITUDES

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube Wade Hughes)

HEAR YE, HEAR YE… THE BARREN, LIFELESS, NO PRODUCTION… THE NEGTIVE BARREN CIRCUMSTANCES OF A WOMAN CAN CHANGE INTO THE MOTHER OF ONE OF THE GREATEST PREACHERS OF ALL TIME. THIS HAPPENED ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE SHE KNEW HOW TO PRAY! THERE IS A TERRIBLE DYSFUNCTIONAL HOME THAT HAS LITTLE TO NO HOPE.

THERE IS BITTERNESS AND HATRED CRUSHING THIS LITTLE FAMILY… HEAR YE, HEAR YE… THIS PRAYING MOMMA GOES TO CHURCH AND SEEKS A MIRACLE BEYOND HER REACH. FAITH AND PRAYER WORKS.

1 Samuel 1:9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

There is a misunderstanding that tries to crush this momma’s spirit… she is praying her heart out and the Preacher Eli accuses her as being DRUNK. Many would have been offended and never returned to church. Hannah refused to be offended.

She pressed on until God heard her prayer.

A MOMMA PRAYS A PRAYER OF FAITH. HANNAH LEAVES CHURCH WITH OUT SEEING OR FEELING HER MIRACLE. HANNAH WALKS HOME BY FAITH. THIS MOMMA’S PRAYERS WILL TOUCH HEAVEN AND CHANGE HER DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY FROM BARREN TO FRUITFUL.

1 Samuel 1:17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

1 Samuel 1:20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

ONE PRAYING MOMMA AND HER SON SAMUEL WILL CHANGE THE HISTORY OF THE WHOLE NATION OF ISREAL. SAMUEL WITH ANOINT THE FIRST KING OF ISREAL NAMED SAUL. SAMUEL WILL ANOINTED ONE OF THE GREATEST KINGS KNOWN TO THIS WORLD… DAVID…

1 Samuel 1:27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.

Hannah’s circumstances do not change immediately but her FAITH RELEASES THE ATTITUDE OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING. GOD HEARS A MOMMA’S PRAYER. HANNAH’S CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE WITH PRAYER… SHE HAD 3 MORE SONS AND 2 DAUGHTERS. PRAYER CHANGES THE BARREN WOMAN INTO A MOTHER OF 6.

DO OUR CIRCUMSTANCES DEFINE WHO WE REALLY ARE? WHERE DOES ATTITUDE COME INTO PLAY?

While story telling let me tell you another lesson. A very rich man wanted to teach his son about the rest of the world. So the rich man made arrangements with a poor farmer to allow his son to stay 3 days and nights on the poor farm. One day chauffeur drove the boy and unloaded his stuff. The boy was welcomed into the little farm house. The boy had to get up very early each morning and join the farmer’s sons in the chores. He had to eat what was set on the table. He had to go to bed when he was told.

Three days later the rich man’s limousine pulled in front of the shabby farm house. The lad was so excited and he jumped in the back seat with his dad. The dad said: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED THE LAST 3 DAYS? The boy said: Dad I did not know how poor we are. This precious family is so wonderful. The dad said WHAT DO MEAN? The boy replied: Dad, we have one dog. They have four. We buy our eggs, they go out each morning and gather fresh eggs. He said, We have a swimming pool they have a big river flowing through the farm. We went fishing and swimming in the river. In great excited he continued we have street/ security lights all around. They have a million stars that twinkle each night. We have city water, they go to the well and draw fresh water when they need it. Dad, we have to eat pizza and canned food. They raise fresh food and harvest it out of the garden. We have walls around the property that traps us. They have vast fields opened all around the farm. We have computers, Wi-Fi and colored TV’s. They sit out on the porch and sing and laugh together until bed time. We have trouble going to sleep. When the farmer’s family goes to bed they say: I LOVE YOU, THEN THEY FALL ASLEEP SOUNDLY ALL NIGHT. Dad I did not know HOW POOR WE ARE! THANK YOU DAD, THAT WAS THE BEST GIFT I EVER HAD.
