Are
You A Barren Christian?
Are you barren? Have you tried having children but haven't yet succeeded? Do you believe in Yahweh the Creator of human beings? Do you believe he has power to give human beings children? Have you sought him to give you a child but have yet to receive the requested child? Do you know why he hasn't yet given you the child you have sought from him?
Why Are You A Barren Christian?
Why are you still barren, yet you profess to follow Christ and desire a child? Why are you still barren, yet you have asked Yahweh to give you a child? If you believe that Yahweh answers prayers that he give good things to those who ask him, why haven't you received your good thing - your child? Could it really be that you need to change from the way of iniquities and transgressions and turn faithfully and fully to Yahweh that he may heal you? And once healed, will you not see your good gift - your child as given you by Yahweh?
Deuteronomy 7:12-15 reads,
7:12It
shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them,
that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness
which he swore to your fathers: 7:13and
he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit
of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new
wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in
the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. 7:14You shall be blessed above all peoples:
there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 7:15Yahweh will take away from you all
sickness; and none of the evil diseases of
Aren't fruitfulness of the body and the multiplication of human beings a blessing from Yahweh? Isn't the lack of barrenness, among both men and women, a blessing from Yahweh? On the other hand, isn't barrenness, among both males and females, a curse from Yahweh?
Is the reason you are barren the existence of a curse that has come upon you? Has the curse come upon you because you do not listen to the voice of Yahweh, to do all his word?
How To Be Freed From The Curse
Of Barrenness
Deuteronomy 4:25-31 reads,
4:25When
you shall father children, and children’s children, and you shall have been
long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in
the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh
your God, to provoke him to anger; 4:26I
call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon
utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess
it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 4:27Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples,
and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall lead
you away. 4:28There you
shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see,
nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 4:29But
from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall find him, when you
search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4:30When you are in oppression, and all these
things are come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God,
and listen to his voice: 4:31for
Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you,
nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
Didn't Moses prophesy that the children of
Doesn't Yahweh's word imply that the manner one is freed from curses, including that of barrenness, is to listen to the voice of Yahweh, to do all his word?
Will you listen to Yahweh's voice, that you may be freed of the curse of barrenness? Will you do all his word, that you may indeed receive the blessing of children?
Yahweh's Voice On Childbearing
Are you aware of Yahweh's voice with respect to childbearing? Do you know his word with respect to bearing children?
Do you abide by his word against sin, especially sexual sin? Do you abide by his word that a man should not sexually lie with a person who is not his wife? Do you abide by his word that a woman should not sexually lie with a person who is not her husband?
Are you aware that contraception - preventing conception - is a sin punishable by death? Are you aware that contraception is evil in Yahweh's sight? Do you practice contraception?
Do You Disobey Yahweh's Word To
Follow Human Tradition?
Matthew 15:1-9 reads,
15:1Then
Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from
15:3He
answered them, "Why do you also disobey the
commandment of God because of your tradition? 15:4For God commanded,
‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or
mother, let him be put to death.’ 15:5But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother,
"Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted
to God," 15:6he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made
the commandment of God void because of your tradition. 15:7You hypocrites!
Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
15:8‘These people draw near to me with their mouth,
And honor me with their lips;
But their heart is far from me.
15:9But in vain do they worship me,
Teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’"
Does Following Human Tradition
Explain Your Not Having A Child?
Are you without a husband because in the religious environment you are in you have been taught as doctrine rules made by men rather than the word of Yahweh? Have you been taught that you should plan your family and should do so using contraceptives? Is this the teaching of Yahweh or the teaching for doctrine rules made by men?
It Is A Reproach For A Woman To Be Childless
Are you aware that it is a reproach for a woman to be childless? Are you also aware of how that reproach can indeed be removed from you?
Did Isaiah Prophesy About You?
Are you one of those Isaiah prophesied about? Are you one of those who draw near Yahweh with their mouths, and honour Yahweh with their lips, but whose hearts are far from Yahweh? Do you worship Yahweh in vain, following as doctrine human rules?
Why You Have Been Blind And Deaf
Isn't this why you have been blind and deaf, not perceiving or understanding that Yahweh has indeed provided a way for you to have a child, in harmony with his word? Hasn't Yahweh now opened your eyes to see that if you choose his way, worshipping him in spirit and in truth, according to his word, rather than that of those who vainly worship him, you will indeed have a child? Is not this the manner his servants have been delivered from their barrenness?
Will You Now Follow Yahweh's
Way?
What will you now do? Will you continue to fellowship with those who vainly worship Yahweh, teaching for doctrine human rules? Or will you seek out Yahweh's true servants, those who strive to worship him in spirit and in truth, according to his word? Will you continue with human tradition outside Yahweh's word, and remain childless, bearing your reproach? Or will you seek out and fellowship with Yahweh's true servants, who seek to worship him according to his word, and have your reproach taken away from you? Will you remain with those who call retrogression Yahweh's righteous way, and are thereby defiled for disparaging Yahweh, thinking that their way is superior to Yahweh's? Or will you seek out and fellowship with Yahweh's true servants, and be healed of your barrenness, thereby able to bear children?
John 14:15 reads,
14:15If you love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:21 reads,
14:21One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is
one who loves me. One who loves me
will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.
John 14:23-26 reads,
14:23Jesus
answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep
my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our
home with him. 14:24He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which
you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me. 14:25I have said these things to you, while still living with you.
14:26But
the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he
will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
Do you really love Yah'shuah? Are you prepared to keep his commandments, even when those around you do not? Are you prepared to keep his commandments even when those around you ridicule you? Are you prepared to keep his commandments, even when those around you threaten to banish you from their presence if you do so?
Are You Prepared To Forsake All
To Follow Yahweh?
Luke 18:28-30 reads,
18:28Peter
said, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you."
18:29He
said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, there
is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or
children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 18:30who will not
receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal
life."
Don't Yah'shuah's true disciples follow him even when it means they have to leave everything? Don't Yah'shuah's true disciples follow him even when it means they are separated from family members as a result of so doing?
Yah'shuah Promises You Great
Rewards For Following Him
Nevertheless, has not Yah'shuah promised his followers rewards in this life many times more than what his followers have forsaken on account of loving him more than they love others?
Will You Now Follow Yah'shuah?
Will you follow Yah'shuah, loving him more than you love others? Will you seek out true servants of Yahweh and together worship him in spirit and in truth, worshipping him according to his word - the teaching he gave Yah'shuah for us?
Is Your Reproach About To End?
Is not your reproach as a barren Christian about to end when you join with Yahweh's true servants and are healed? Is not Yahweh about to bless you with your child when you choose him rather than human beings vainly worshipping him?
