Jeremiah 20:1, Yeah, sad when someone of trusted positions act corrupt, cruel & evil, abusing their authority, especially in the house of The LORD our GOD! Proverbs 15:3, that's why GOD sent Jeremiah to prophecy to them. Jeremiah 1:4-19, Jeremiah 4:1-6, notice Jeremiah 20:1-6, Jeremiah 7,

But then: Jeremiah 3:12, Jeremiah 12:15, Isaiah 51:11, Isaiah 35:10, Isaiah 44:22, Isaiah 55:7, John 3:15-21,

Even today we see hypocrisy but Jesus already knew, lived it & gave us direction : Matthew 23, Matthew 25:31-46,

Hopefully these are helpful

We're not told why Hannah was barren; she may have been as many women in the world are in all ages. Yet, we do know that God does have a purpose in our lives & for our lives. What we might consider an impediment or a disadvantage that we have that others don't have, may well have a reason behind it, for that which we are not privy to. And especially as we give ourselves fully to the Lord for what we are & all that lies ahead in our lives, then we know that all that comes to us is known of the Lord & allowed for a reason.

In hindsight, we could then say that Hannah had to be brought to the place where her grief was so great (v10), that she had to be cast upon the Lord for help. And at that time, in the Lord's Plans for her & Israel, that grief, that pleading, that vow to the Lord, would be the catalyst that would put the Plans of God into the next phase, that of giving Hannah's body the ability to form an embryo. And true to her vow to the Lord, young Samuel was dedicated into the Lord's service. What if Hannah didn't vow to do this? Or she just continually wept over her predicament & led a miserable life with Elkanah? God could have still raised up a prophet to fulfil His Plans, as we see in the account of Esther (Esther chapter 4): that if Esther didn't approach King Ahasuerus about the great plight of the Jews, then God would give them deliverance "from another place" even though Esther would have suffered for her refusal. I somehow see a similarity to what would have been Hannah's fate of miserableness had she not performed that which the Lord put on her heart.

Greetings

I have a question.

Why God closed Hannah's womb?( 1Samuel 1:5,6)

Thanks

On JEREMIAH 20:7

The Word of God is God (John 1:1) and not for any private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20). If it records in Rev. 12:9 that this whole world has been deceived, it did not speak of a particular country, group of people, person or religion, it meant the whole world.

For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom (2 Cor. 11:13-15) this whole world has been deceived and what mankind must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive (Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting), is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and there seems to be a great misconception what the true 'spiritual' meaning of the word is. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.

Only through Repentance will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters (Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1) and reveal to you how this whole world has been deceived (Rev. 12:9) and overcome this world (1 John 5:4).

The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God (Acts 26:18).

It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ (Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It should be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it (Matthew 7:14).

If the Lord walks with me as a mighty and terrible one, I don't have to fear any evil for when terrible is ahead every persecutor will hide before the terribles does something terrible to him. I love it. It has encouraged me. Just to know that my enemies and oersecutors cant win against me.
