Thank you Lord, that just like Boaz and Ruth, when our backs were against the wall and it looked as if it was over, you became our Kinsman Redeemer, and you, Lord, stepped in and made a way where there was no way. You move mountains, you cause walls to fall; with your power you perform miracles. There is nothing that's impossible. And we're standing here only because you made a way.

[@bindhuabraham2259]

Thank you for this message. I am teaching my students about Ruth and you really helped me to prepare. This message was also for my life. I am in a difficult situation and am suffering, but trusting God to pull me through

[@firstnlr]

Nothing is impossible for God!!

[@yaneliguzman9324]

Thank you God for been there for me when no one else was, I love you and need you more then anything dear Holy Spirit thank you for touching me with this powerful message you speak in the mist of turmoil and caos you always speak. May the Lord continue to bless you pastor I was greatly blessed with this sermon.

[@ncnc111]

Powerful message, it really spoke to my heart. I see myself in many ways in Ruth's story. I keep waiting on God when all seems impossible, but I know all things are possible with God. My life seems stuck and nothing changes, but I refuse to take matters into my own hands. I decided to trust him even though time is passing me by so fast.

[@lueValentine]

Time does seem to go by so rapidly. The days zoom by. Stay in prayer, in the word by reading it and studying it, keep hearing the word from sermons such as this one. It will give you comfort. God's word is medicine for the soul. For whatever ails us.

[@JagTX2010]

I’m fasting about a relationship and I keep hearing and praying Ruth 1:16-17. My situation feels impossible but this message came in my inbox. This is Gods Word for me.

[@kelleyniswonger3499]

Bro. I went two years without water and lights. From 1-15-2018 to 1-21-2020. That is went God bless me with my beautiful home. I almost have it paid off. I owe 7.950.00 dollars . That's what our God has done for me. That is one reason I want to be a blessing , where God tells me to give. Is where I give. I am blessed ❤

[@firstnlr]

That is so awesome! God is so good!

[@priscillaobeng-akrofi619]

Pastor you may not know but I know that the Holy Spirit led you to preach this sermon and the Holy Spirit led me to this video. Sometime ago there was a situation that presented a serious challenge in my life and the only way out was to take matters in my hands and that would have solved the problem but I chose to let God work it out for me. There are moments I feel that it's impossible for God to work it out and I'm tempted to regret. It was such a moment that I found your sermon 'Nothing is Impossible With God' I feel that God through the Holy Spirit is encouraging me to not lose hope in the possibilities of God

[@ladennayoung2939]

Amen! This message just started, and it is already blessing my soul. I love it when God send an unexpected message my way. I wasn't intentionally looking for this message. I haven't even heard of this pastor before. God bless you. Thanks for uploading/sharing. I needed this. Jesus is good. God is so good.

Pray for me that I may not give up. I am at a dark point in my life.

Wow, thank you for an incredible message! I'm so glad I came across this video. This is just what needed to hear right now. God bless. 💛

[@thecollector5412]

Thank you for this message!! It spoke to me!

[@fruitofthespiritgalatians5856]

I always wondered about Naomi sending Ruth to get in bed with Boaz. That never seemed right. I needed someone to point this out. Also, Boaz did what was right in God's eyes!!! Thank you for this message. Very fitting in today's political struggle.

[@priscillaobeng-akrofi619]

Just like me, until I came across this video, l didn't find anyone who pointed Ruth meeting Boaz in his room as inappropriate

[@i7abella]

So was it the wrong thing for Naomi to do to send Ruth to Boaz in such a bold way..to cut to the chase? ..I didn't feel it was wrong, i felt that it was simply just a direct and open communication ..like no games played haha ..admirably bold and upfront to me!

[@chiffonpace1900]

I stand in agreement with this prayer for my life and for the life of those persons similarly situated right now. I believe and receive it. Amen

[@lueValentine]

Ruth didn't get in bed with Boaz. She was at his feet on the threshing floor. She uncovered his feet following Naomi's instructions to let him know she was interested. He woke and told her to go to sleep till morning. He would handle it then. She slept on the floor at his feet.

[@lydiaheelu2681]

I’m also confused by the people saying Ruth got in Boaz’s bed. That’s not what the Bible says and that’s not what Naomi told Ruth to do. The Bible clearly says she laid by his feet.

[@hadiyahharrison7681]

Laying by feet is a metaphorical euphemism in biblical script. Many theologians have revealed it does in fact mean having sex. It’s just a more digestible way to write it. The Bible is actually filled with them when speaking of sex & sexual parts.

[@lydiaheelu2681]

@@hadiyahharrison7681 Can you give one example? I know the Bible says “know” when a man had sex with his wife. As in Isaac “knew” Rebekka but I didn’t read any other place in scripture about laying a man’s feet means having sex with them. But then I don’t remember everything I read, nor do I understand it 100% of the time. So can you please enlighten me with some examples. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@nc2624]

Also, I like how the Pastor brought out how Boaz demonstrated self control when he saw Ruth. I don't think 🤔 Naomi schemed at all because she made her intentions clear in finding rest for Ruth and did so Ruth 3:1....

[@maureenk5282]

I was looking for a teaching about Ruth and.Boaz as a representation of Gods Covenant promise (Jesus) (Boaz cover her and becomes her kinsmen redeemer (Jesus) and Ruth chooses God therefore her story is “divinely changed” and “bears fruit”( a child ).. this was really good, it went much deeper into the story and I liked the way it was presented :) I see the relationship as “us in /with Jesus” living in the presence of the one who loves us and bearing fruit. I’ll check out more of your teachings

[@sylviasmall103]

Amen

[@maryannemuhia9176]

🙏🙏thank you

[@i7abella]

So was Naomi in the wrong to send Ruth to Boaz in such a bold way..in order to cut to the chase? ..I didn't feel it was wrong! I felt that it was simply just a direct and open communication ..like no games played haha ..to me it seems admirably bold and upfront!

[@nc2624]

Naomi was very bold, upfront & clear. She said what her intentions were Ruth 3:1 and did exactly what she intended. No scheming because she let it (her motives) be known.

[@Gabrielmarshal22]

Pray for me my situation is not changing at all

[@isamendez6077]

I always been committed they are been persecuting me for 5 years,but I never went back, I always was loyal to my GOD

[@firstnlr]

Praise the Lord, Isa. God rewards faithfulness!

[@lisasmith516]

I have always stood up for the underdog. I've ALWAYS given of what I had no matter how little it was. AND I've been generous when I had money! TO THE HOMELESS AND THE OPPRESSED! I've taken in people, given people rides, fed people, given them clothes and shoes, coats, physical comforts and I have been left bereft! HOMELESS on the street, DRAGGED into a POLICE CORRUPTION STING. Those EVIL people have taken everything I have and dispossessed me onto the street. I'm 63 years old. I've called out to God, cried out pleaded, PRAYING, begged believed and retained My Hope and Faith, but I don't even want to live anymore. So this God who can do the impossible has LEFT me OUT here as an aged woman to be destroyed on the street. I get one poor nutrition meal a day. I have a cell phone somebody else pays for that's it. I have no money in my pocket except for a Canadian quarter and two pennies that's all I've had for several months now. I had to give away my big dog who protected me on the street, because I couldn't afford to feed him. I have had my truck, my home taken away, all my belongings and my dignity. I am sitting/Daytime/ Nighttime sleeping on the pavement front of a church. AND I just got ignored by one of their big muckety-muck woman "Reverend" who rus this place. Naomi and Ruth had a place to go to. I have nothing and nowhere to go. I might as well take it from NAOMI and RENAME MYSELF "MARA." I STILL PRAYED TODAY...GOD KNOWS. P.S. I want to add. I have been pure since my last HUSBAND died, about 6 years ago.

[@dianeduplessis9535]

Hi Lisa Smith, I read your story and want to encourage you: If God could do that for Ruth and Naomi, He can surely do it for you!!! He knows what you are going through and will reward you when the time is right. You have sown the seed. This is not permanent. It just occurred to me, maybe God needed you to relate in the most real way, by stripping you of everything so that you can better understand the people you have been helping all along. He is working behind the scenes. Hold on to His promises, everything will work out for your good. Amen and amen 🙏✝️✝️

[@m_jay5]

Ruth is a Biblical example that a man doesn't always have to be the one making the first move on a woman!

[@nc2624]

I really could appreciate the teaching. However, Ruth 3:1 in which Naomi makes her intentions known in that she would find rest for Ruth, and so I don't see her as scheming at all. She let it be known what her motives were and did so!

[@nc2624]

Naomi should have sent Ruth. We can't assume Boaz's action, although I do agree that in God's will, plan & purpose, compromise is a deal breaker period.
