In the Old Testament account of the life of Hannah, we read of a woman who found herself at the mercy of her own emotional turmoil.  Barren and in competition with her husband’s other wife who was blessed with sons and daughters, Hannah found many reasons for despair.  She was constantly aware of what she lacked, and her thoughts were consumed not only with her desire, but with the stigma accompanying her insufficiency.  Hannah descended into frustration, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She found herself so ruled by these emotions that she could not even bring herself to eat!  Just like Hannah, our emotions have the power to rule our actions, even to the point that we are unable to do what we know is best for our own well-being. In short, these negative emotions often become our master, enslaving us to act in accordance with fear, hopelessness, and unhealthy habits.

This course is designed to help women who frequently experience the same troublesome emotions as Hannah. Like Hannah, many struggle with the feelings that grip their heart, destroying hope, hindering the truth of God’s word, and engaging in disappointment. Emotions are a powerful source that influence and dictate our decisions. In this 6-week course, we will identify wrong thought patterns, emotional responses, and unholy habits that disturb our course and hinder us from walking in fulfillment. When Hannah focused on God, rather than herself, He removed her barrenness and blessed her as the mother of Samuel. During this bible study, we will identify wrong thought patterns, emotional responses, and unholy habits that disturb our course in life and hinder us from walking in true fulfillment.

Hannah’s Gathering is purposed for God encounters that lead to transformation. This course will aid in eliminating the principalities of shame, guilt, condemnation, regret, and ego. These principalities are confronted with studies, teaching, discussions, prayer, ministry times, and homework assignments. These teaching are founded on the word of God and wisdom gleaned from scriptures. 

This Hannah’s Gathering course will not only identify unhealthy patterns but will release the power to set us free from the emotions that dictate our actions. The outcome of this is a woman engaged and thriving in every area of life and operating out of her spiritual authority.  By taking practical steps that allow us to walk in new empowered habits and emotional responses, we embody the fullness and freedom of love, joy, and peace. What a far better master!
