Ruth 1:2 The name
of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was
Naomi,
and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and
Chilion -- Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And
they went to the country of Moab and remained there.
NKJV
Naomi's
husband named their two sons names that meant "sick" and
"wasting away." What kind of father would
predispose his sons to believe they were helpless and
hopeless to prosper? Then he decided to move his
family from the promised land to Moab which mean "what
father" or "you don't know who your father is!"
Then the boys marry two Moabite girls, live in a land of
failed fatherhood. Then their father dies.
What we
all need is an overdose of hope. Hope is the
essential ingredient of faith, desire and expectation.
Desire is the will power to move forward -- "a want to."
Expectation is a "want to" that also causes your mind to
reveal "a way to." If I will speak God's
vision, He will make a way out of no way. Don't
let people mold your mind more than God does. Just
because they say it is what is is, doesn't mean you have
to say it is what it is. Naomi tells her
daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, to go back to their
Moabite people and their God's to find husbands.
Ruth 1:14 Then
they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah
kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
NKJV
Ruth recognized that by
marrying a covenant man, she now in is covenant with
God. She refused to leave just as Elisha
refused to leave Elijah. Naomi had said
don't call me Naomi (pleasant) but call me bitter. Ruth
was committed to staying with Naomi like white on rice.
But Ruth hears that the Lord is visiting His people
again and they both go to the land of promise, to
Shaddai's territory.
Commitment is what
keeps a person from hesitating or drawing back and God
then has reason to move on your behalf. When you
get the "want to" your mind finds a "way to." God
is always ready to move on your behalf but you have to
give God reason to move. Ruth saw value in the God
Naomi complained about even when Naomi was the most
depressed! Your unbelieving friends may see hope
in you even on your worst days. God is talking
about your to other people and they see hope in your
faith and He arranges opportunities for you. Your
chance is about to change upon.
Ruth happens to go the
field of Boaz (means promptly, swiftly or now is the
time!) Ruth wanted to follow the reapers or
glean (means a strong "want to" picks up on a way to
achieve) What are the chances are that she would
happen upon the field of the one man who has the power
to open the door to her future. (Your big door is
about to open!!!!!) If you will come out of dead
stale tradition into NOW FAITH with God, He will open
doors no man can shut!
Hear Dr. Mark Chironna
explain about "non-locality" and quantum physics.
Non-locality means they
can separate quanta into certain two spheres and
they spin in opposite directions. If God has given
you a desire and you desire
it, pray like you already have it. Desire is the
indicator that what you desire already exists. Get
up and move before you know all about it. Ruth
goes to meet Boaz and finds herself under the covering
of someone who can redeem the family. Boaz is
willing to walk with a Moabite (Gentile) woman even
though the next of kin was not. God said Moab was
cursed to the tenth generation. Going back
to Abraham, Ruth connected with Boaz and break the
curse. You are destined to break the curses in
your history!
God wants to release a
whole new level of inspiration from within you and
the Spirit of God will cause you to abound in hope.
You will no longer just be "realistic" and "resigned"
but you will fulfill the expectation and desire God has
placed in your heart. As you sense God's
confirmation in your spirit, embrace what God is
speaking to you. Receive the hope Father is giving
you now!
Behold God is doing a
new thing but will you be aware of it? We are
living in an hour when Baal and Jezebel have sat in the
capital of our nations. But God is raising up a
company of people with the spirit and power of Elijah
who will have spiritual power unknown until these times.
Elijah moved when his servant saw what Elijah was
birthing in prayer and declaration. Many are
forfeiting the heritage of their fathers in the church.
But this company will see the small cloud forming before
it manifests. They will be so energized that they
will out run the chariots! God will allow
politicians to fail and companies to bankrupt so they
will know He is God. When that company arises, a
sword will be given and they will take Jezebel down.
Are you a Naomi looking
at the downside or a Ruth looking at the upside?
Will you do something by faith? Will you sow a
seed toward your upside?
