It goes back to the book of Genesis after the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah Lot and his daughters escaped to the hills outside of Zora. And Genesis in 19:30 and reads now Lot went out of Zora and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zora. So, he lived in a cave with his two daughters. And the firstborn said to the younger, our father is old and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the matter of all the earth. Let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him that we may preserve offspring from our father. So, they made their father drink wine that night. In the first one went and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose. The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. And you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father. So, they made their father drink wine that night also. In the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. Thus, both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. The descendants of Moab settled east of the Dead Sea we see them as a great people, enemies of Israel. Though Elimelech knew this was the land of his enemies and was cursed by God he still went to live there. His decision on leaving Bethlehem was not a good one at all. Naomi’s husband was a Jewish man, honored the covenant promises of God. While he traveled to the land of Moab, others stayed in Bethlehem to tough it out, he too should have stayed and trusted God instead of going to the land of his enemies. The land appeared to be the better place to live, but the grass isn’t always a greener on the other side. Sometimes it’s far worse than where you’re at.

Sometimes in our faith walk with God we stumbled on the road because the cares of life brings us down. We get tired of fighting the Devil. We want to give up which the Devil hopes we’ll do. But when we waver in our faith God picks us up telling us we can make it. We can press on to our mark because He gives us strength. Remember God’s strength is made perfect. He makes us strong when can’t go on any further because He is our comforter. When we fall He picks up walking with us. God gives us hope when the Devil steals our joy. God gives us strength when we are weak, He gives us faith when we think all is lost. God said in Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. In the end as we walked this road called life, all we have is faith and hope. These two are the greatest gems God has given us because faith without works is dead and having no hope in God is truly the end. But having faith in God makes the impossible possible because we trust Him to do the impossible. Having hope in God is trusting God. The feeling of expectation and a desire for things to happen. Faith and hope play hand in hand because they both mean trust, expectancy and this all ties in Ruth’s story. Ruth’s story is a tale of deliverance, redemption, faith, hope and choice. In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land and a man Naomi’s husband Elimelek decided to leave with his family from the land of promise, Bethlehem due to famine. This famine was judgment by God because His people did not listen and were hardheaded so He sent forth His judgment on them. Naomi’s husband decided to go to a gentile land, the land of Moab. It was forbidden by Jewish law to go there but he did it anyway because he made his choice. The land of Moab was a fertile land. Though Moab was a fertile place it was cursed by God. God said a Moabite shall not enter the congregation of the Lord even to the 10th generation. They were not allowed in the worship of the Lord, they were cursed. The Moabite people were born through an incestuous relationship. Hey guys sorry I'm late here's part 3. Physical weapons will not hurt him but spiritual weapons will. And what do I mean about this? We need the whole armor of God to stand against the schemes of the devil. As it reads in Ephesians the six chapter and 12 verse: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand the evil day, and having done all to stand firm. Stand therefore having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and, praying at all times in the spirit, with all prayer and supplication. The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.--In this we pass to the one offensive weapon of the Christian, "the sword of the Spirit"--i.e., given by the Holy Spirit--which, like the helmet, but unlike the rest of the defensive armour, does not become a part of himself, but is absolutely of God. The passage reminds us at once of Hebrews 4:12 : "The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword." But there (as in 1Corinthians 14:26; 2Corinthians 2:17; Colossians 1:25; 2 Tim. 2:29) the original word is the larger and deeper word (Logos), signifying the truth of God in itself, and gradually leading up to the ultimate sense in which our Lord Himself is the "Word of God," revealing the Godhead to man. This is why it is important to always pray, prayer is our greatest weapon because prayer will protect you. Prayer really does change things even if you’re in a bad situation right now, if you know God he will help you in that situation and help you get out. That’s why it’s important to have a relationship with God. After I prayed and fought the devil I got the victory my money was returned and I was able to pay for my bill. This all happened overnight. The Lord gave me an overnight blessing. And I am sharing my experience to say this, God is getting ready to give you an overnight blessing. God is saying I have seen you crying in the night not knowing what to do, tossing and turning. But in your anguish, I’m about to bless you, giving you your heart’s desire, something you’ve been believing for awhile and I’m about to give you an overnight blessing. |
