True Convenants~

Ruth 1:16 "And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:"

Ruth is a prime example of the Lord's blessings, showing much favor to one that was not of His chosen people-He is not a respector of person (Rom 2:11)

I can only speak for myself, but I had to truly learn how to love a mother n law with Gods love. Ruth was the real deal-she openly confessed to Naomi that she wanted to stay with her and call Naomi God her God. Lets stop right here and get a nugget.

How many of you have noticed with those the Lord has entrusted you with- those that have been called to walk with you for a season-those that are aligned with you to manifest a piece of the vision, have a desire to be in the God ordained convenant?

Understand this: When God said He will send someone (come on now somebody) across your path that you can trust-lean on-share with-feed from you must use much discernment to recognize who came WITH God and who was sent with a hidden agenda! (someone needs to catch that)

In verse 14 in the same chapter the word says "but Ruth clave unto her". Ruth did not want to leave she refused to go her own way unlike her sister n law Orpah. Ruth seen in Naomi intergrity-valor-love-hope-proverbs 31 woman. Orpah did her bid and seen that there was nothing else she could get and moved on with No Hesitation!! (pray for all the Orpahs)

*side note: how can anyone be around someone that is sold out to the Lord and not change?*

Ruth knew this was the best decision she had made being a Moabite. Not only did she have the heart to learn of Naomi's people beiiefs but she had the desire to be obedient unto the instructions given to her by Naomi.

God setup a Moabite to become an ancestor of King David and Christ Jesus Himself.

Ruth came into the convenant with Naomi with nothing but herself and went out with promises and blessings by the God of Naomi which became her God.

All her steps were ordered and she had a heart to pursue them. Who are you cleaved to? Do you have the same God? (no little gods/idols) Do they and you pursuing the same goal which is being true ambassdors for God's Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven?

(I believe the Lord lead me to Ruth this morning to remind me how important Convenants are to Him. If we cant even be completely real and open with relationships here how can we with Him?)

Word of Encouragement~

  I come to exhort you by the mighty hand of God to go on with the Lord. Spirit speaking- "A lot of people are getting discouraged because they are looking at how big their situations or circumstances are instead of looking at what a mighty God we serve. He says that you have overestimated the enemy in your life." The enemy of your soul whole agenda is to destroy the plan of God that is concernin g your life. He knows that he can't get directly to God so he figures why not use God's people? He has no power over you; DON'T GIVE IN AND DON'T GIVE UP!! At this crucial point, there is no turning back, you've come to far to turn around now. Remember, your steps are ordered by God- follow in them. I beseech you to take up your cross and Follow Christ. I know this is an old message but the Spirit of the Lord said to "remind them again". Don't allow anyone to come in and shake you off the path God has predestined for you! For the ho...

Who's Your Friend??

-
Blessings, I want to say this in love to you all. I'm going to put this as gentle as I know how. Stop calling everyone your friend!!! Psa 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.". Pro 18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the definition of a true friend: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you" (John 15:13-15). The Lord reminded me of the four friends that went all the way out of their way to help a true friend to be healed by the Lord. Mark 2:4 "And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they unc...

We know that the devil comes to exploit weaknesses and if you leave cracks and crevices open, he will squeeze his way in without notification.  His job is to steal, kill and destroy the plan of God that is predestined for your life.  He is very conniving and very deceptive in his approach and we as believers must make sure that we guarded with the whole armor of God at all times.  In this day, he is coming stronger with more force but he only possesses the power that you give him.  If you do not entertain him or his little friends, then he won't have any power to overtake you. Deuteronomy 28:7 says "The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways." The devil has already lost but he is trying to take as many with him as he can, apparently just to hurt God. And however much the devil succeeds in doing this, God hurts -- like a parent does over los...
