Time to Define the Relationship
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- Every relationship reaches that point. The one where it’s time to define the relationship, and getting on the same page isn’t always easy. Are you just friends, dating, or heading for something more? It’s that time for Ruth and Boaz … and things get awkward.
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
We often define our lives by the big moments. But most of our lives consist of ordinary chapters. They may not feel significant, but ultimately end up changing everything. In our new series, The Book of Ruth, we'll discover the hidden beauty of life’s small moments.

What qualities or habits do you see in Ruth and Boaz as they’re honoring God with their lives?
I don't know what to say about these characters, but how far is too far? Help!🤯🤯🤯
@melaniemartin730 um, I'm not sure how appropriate this is, but to put it more plainly , just to help you understand, "how far is too far" - arousal. Um I don't think I'll go further than that to explain but yeah I reccomend asking someone in your church , a leader, or your cell group or your decipler ❤
Ps thank you so much, is there any other material that you could refer me to ? On the app or ...? Anyway I look forward to the next one, I almost wish these were longer, but I'm not complaining, it's truly a gift that you're doing this because a lot of this stuff I honestly never heard like you said it
@@dalibofurnellthat's why not everyone can handle some weird. So, what's going on?!🔥🔥🌼🌼
Hawayu Life Church & The Habits I See Ruth & Boaz Have As They Honour God In Their Lives Is That Boaz Loved Ruth Just As Christ Loved The Church & Ruth Submitted 2 Boaz Which Is Written In Ephesians 5:25 & Ephesians 5:21 & May Our Great Almighty God Bless Yu Life Church & Pst. Craig Groeschel So Veryyyyy, Veryyyyyy Much.🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
I am sitting here crying. 19 years old and working my way through college. I have been single all my life so far. There is hope. God loves me. God has a plan.
Prayers sent! God knows your situation, and he will place his hand ✋️ on it! Let go, and let God!
On Gods timing. My boyfriend had never had a gf or even kissed a girl until he was 20. Focus on yourself and chase God.!
I am surrendering my life to Jesus Praying 🙏🏻

@Jennifer Fuertes we join you in praying!
Lord Jesus, you hear Jennifer's heart cry. Please work in a mighty way in her marriage. I ask that you help them both have the heart and eyes to see each other through your eyes. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen.

Waking up and hearing the word of God 🙏 everyone have a blessed day. And remember put your faith in God!
i want to pray for a relationship that i can truly see God brought together and i can clearly see why and many it could impact in a positive way. i am praying for us both to be obedient and removing anything that is not from God from our hearts, minds, life. There has been a bit of trust broken already and i myself coming from a place where its difficult to restore trust, i am praying to just be guided by God and not myself.

I want to pray for my relationship. We both want God to be first in everything we do.
Praying for healing after a 3.5 year relationship came to an end. I’ve been so depressed and anxious about not finding the right one for me, however I’ll be putting God first more in this new season of singleness ❤️
Devan,
Thank you for sharing some of your story with us! I am so sorry to hear about the loss you have experienced in this relationship and the anxiety and depression it has brought to your life. I do want to encourage you, though, that you are doing the right things by seeking God, putting Him first, and watching messages that will allow God to speak to you! Keep seeking Him in all you do and He will not fail you. God created you and has a perfect plan for your life!

Praying for healing in our marriage.. thank you God
God, I lift up this marriage. I ask that you help them both have the heart and eyes to see each other through your eyes. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen.
our marriage needs complete restoration and healing. I pray continually for this and will do whatever is God's will. Speak to me Lord.
Thank you God for your protection against my life and my family and friends
If someone needs to read this, I want to assure you that God's working in your life. He does great things for His creation. As Jesus said "you don't realize now what I'm doing, but later you'll understand." The Lord God is with you. Just wait and you'll sense Him. Have a nice week, you all! God bless your week!
Same here!🧇🧇🧇🧇
Amen!
Thank you Father for this great message today!! You're a good, good Father. Thank you Jesus for your salvation and showing us the Way!! 🙏🙌❤️
I am encouraged
Amen, Pastor. His name is Jesus! Praying for a relationship!
I'm encouraged!
Thank you. I relate to Ruth, as a widow. Praying for God's guidance whether I'm to re-marry or live the single life until He takes me home. Thanking God for revealing that a relationship I was in was not to progress to marriage, and for lessons learned, which are reinforced in this message. And Ephesians 5:3 is also a key; "not even a hint of sexual immorality".

Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough to become visible to me. Jesus is at work, only I grow weary, so I need Him
I'm encouraged!!! Thank God he forgives and willingly corrects course.
Everyone please pray for the devil to be removed from me forever and to never come back. It would mean the world to me. God bless you all..
Father God Almighty, you are greater than the devil and all of his evil forces. You stand alone in authority. Your word says resist the devil and he will flee from you. Please command Satan to leave Samantha alone. Guide her and direct her in your power and authority of how to resist him so he will flee from her. Please strengthen her resolve and give her the victory you have promised. Thank you that she is an overcomer!

I Am Surrendering My Life To Jesus
Amen sister Zoe, Philippians 2:13 "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose." God has a plan in everything that He does through and in you. He has purposes and they are good. Everything that we go through in this life as we follow Christ, through painful sometimes, should be considered good because it happens according to His purposes, and all His purposes are good, Remember when you are going through something, God is doing something good in your life.
