- 00:00:00Hi AC family. This is Raven back to
- 00:00:02provide you with another right on time
- 00:00:03word from the Lord and the word is Ruth.
- 00:00:06Keep gleaning in your field.
- 00:00:10Hash2. Now before we jump into this
- 00:00:12word, I do have an ad today. So if you
- 00:00:15are new to my channel, I promote small
- 00:00:18Christian businesses, artists, authors,
- 00:00:21whatever the Lord has called you to do.
- 00:00:23Send me your products. I'm going to
- 00:00:25promote them, share them on my channel
- 00:00:27in place of YouTube ads for free. If
- 00:00:30that's something you're interested in,
- 00:00:32please go check out my bio. So, today I
- 00:00:35have one of their products. I'm going to
- 00:00:38Here we go. Can you read it? It says,
- 00:00:40"None of them is forgotten by God." And
- 00:00:42it has a bird, a raven on it. Okay.
- 00:00:47So, read the letter she sent. It says,
- 00:00:49"Hi, Raven. The Lord has told me to open
- 00:00:51a Christian ecommerce store last year.
- 00:00:55So I created Mimiko Designs. Funny thing
- 00:00:59is I have found I have around 40
- 00:01:02products by now and 14 of them are about
- 00:01:05birds, especially ravens and Luke
- 00:01:0912:24. So when your channel popped up on
- 00:01:11my feed, of course I had to click on it.
- 00:01:14I feel the reason for the majority of
- 00:01:16the bird theme is that God is really
- 00:01:18wants to remind his children that he
- 00:01:21loves us so much and that we don't need
- 00:01:23to worry that he will take care of us.
- 00:01:27All right. So it says love Miriam. So I
- 00:01:31am going to be linking her store in my
- 00:01:35description box and I will be making a
- 00:01:36community post. So yes, I have the mug
- 00:01:39today, but she also has some other
- 00:01:41products in her store that she sent me.
- 00:01:43So I will be sharing them in the future
- 00:01:46as well. So let's support our brothers
- 00:01:48and sisters who are doing exactly what
- 00:01:52the Lord has called them to do. So thank
- 00:01:54you for sending me your products,
- 00:01:56Miriam. All right. So who is this word
- 00:01:59going to be for? This word is going to
- 00:02:00be specifically for born again believers
- 00:02:04who have been doing the work. They have
- 00:02:06been faithfully obedient to the Lord to
- 00:02:08do what he has called them to do. Okay.
- 00:02:12So prophetic words are a blessing.
- 00:02:15There's a reason in the scriptures why
- 00:02:18it says, you know, seek seek prophecy,
- 00:02:20seek to prophesy because prophetic words
- 00:02:23are right on time words. So they are
- 00:02:27they are a very specific word from the
- 00:02:29Lord. All right? So prophetic people
- 00:02:32when you when you speak a prophecy, what
- 00:02:34you are doing is you are speaking a word
- 00:02:37from God, right? It's coming through
- 00:02:40you, a human vessel. So that's why
- 00:02:42sometimes it doesn't it's not always
- 00:02:44delivered perfectly because why we're
- 00:02:46not perfect people. All right. So
- 00:02:49they're very encouraging. They're a
- 00:02:50blessing to the body. They can be
- 00:02:52absolutely damaging to an individual
- 00:02:55member of the body of Christ if it is
- 00:02:58not for them. Okay. So we live in the
- 00:03:02day and age of tech. So we anybody
- 00:03:05anybody can get online and say whatever
- 00:03:07they want. Okay. So yes, the Lord has
- 00:03:10called many people with prophetic
- 00:03:12giftings to be online. Well, why is
- 00:03:14that? Well, because the majority of the
- 00:03:16population is online. A majority of them
- 00:03:18are are not in churches. They are on
- 00:03:21YouTube. They are on the Tik Tok. They
- 00:03:23are on the Instagram and and all of
- 00:03:26these other places. That's where the
- 00:03:27people are. Where the people are is
- 00:03:29where God's people need to be so that we
- 00:03:30can be communicating to them. Amen. It's
- 00:03:34just the day and age that we live in. So
- 00:03:36yes, the Lord will call prophetic people
- 00:03:38to deliver prophetic words, but that
- 00:03:41doesn't mean just because you're a
- 00:03:42believer in Jesus Christ that this is
- 00:03:44for you, right? That's why it is when
- 00:03:47somebody gives a prophetic word, they
- 00:03:49need it needs to come with a disclaimer.
- 00:03:51And that disclaimer is that this word is
- 00:03:55for you if it is if you are in alignment
- 00:03:58with the word. So as you're listening to
- 00:04:00it, it's resonating in your spirit.
- 00:04:02Okay? is confirming what the Lord has
- 00:04:04already been speaking to you. It's my
- 00:04:06responsibility to deliver the words to
- 00:04:08the body of Christ as the Lord delivers
- 00:04:11them to me. But is your responsibility
- 00:04:13as an individual to take this word to
- 00:04:15take this this prophetic word, this
- 00:04:17right-on time word back to the Lord,
- 00:04:19spend time with him to asssure that it
- 00:04:21is for you. Because if you receive if
- 00:04:23you receive a prophetic word
- 00:04:26uh or a f a prophecy that is not for you
- 00:04:30depending on the weight of it, okay, it
- 00:04:33can bring a lot of discouragement and
- 00:04:35disappointment into your life. The Lord
- 00:04:37does not want that. Okay? So you get
- 00:04:39online and oh this prophetic word well
- 00:04:42I'm a believer must be for me and you
- 00:04:44just receive it but it was not for you.
- 00:04:47Nothing ever happens. Nothing nothing
- 00:04:49comes to pass. you are going to feel
- 00:04:51very discouraged, very disappointed, uh
- 00:04:54maybe have some anger towards the Lord.
- 00:04:55Okay? So, there are a lot of prophetic
- 00:04:58voices online who are delivering words.
- 00:05:00Some of them are straight up false
- 00:05:01prophets who are giving false
- 00:05:02prophecies, who are hearing from lying,
- 00:05:04seducing spirits. Okay? There's probably
- 00:05:06more of them online than there are
- 00:05:08actual real prophetic voices. Uh and
- 00:05:10then there are prophetic voices who are
- 00:05:12hearing from the Lord. They are
- 00:05:14delivering words, but they might be
- 00:05:15newer in the faith. So maybe they are
- 00:05:17not clearly stating in reminding those
- 00:05:21listening that they need to be very
- 00:05:24prayful when receiving words. So have
- 00:05:26grace for them. But also it's important
- 00:05:28for you to know as a believer in Jesus
- 00:05:29Christ understand prophecy a foundation
- 00:05:32of it right enough of it to understand
- 00:05:34that not all prophetic words are for
- 00:05:39everybody and every season. So, this
- 00:05:41prophetic word is going to be for
- 00:05:44specific members in the body of Christ
- 00:05:46in this specific season. And those of
- 00:05:49you who have been putting in the work,
- 00:05:54okay? So, you've been regularly and
- 00:05:57faithfully serving God to the best of
- 00:05:59your ability. But in this season, you
- 00:06:02may not see are seeing your prayers
- 00:06:05being answered. Okay? So, you are
- 00:06:08waiting. you're you're essentially in a
- 00:06:10bit of a waiting season, all right?
- 00:06:12Because you're working in the field.
- 00:06:13Well, when you work in a field, you have
- 00:06:14to wait for the harvest to develop. So,
- 00:06:17your harvest has not come in yet. But
- 00:06:20what this word is going is going to act
- 00:06:22as a word of instruction, but also a
- 00:06:24word of encouragement to ensure you that
- 00:06:28your harvest, your blessing, your reward
- 00:06:31is on its way. All right. So, Ruth,
- 00:06:36maybe some of you are actually named
- 00:06:37Ruth. I do believe that this word is
- 00:06:41going to be primarily for women. Okay?
- 00:06:44And it's not just because it's taken
- 00:06:45from the book of Ruth, but when I
- 00:06:47received this word, I actually delivered
- 00:06:50it to a few individuals first before the
- 00:06:52Lord told me to deliver as a corporate
- 00:06:54word. And it was all to women. So, I
- 00:06:57think the majority of people that are
- 00:07:00going to be receiving this word are
- 00:07:02going to be females, but it can be uh
- 00:07:05for males as well. So, if you're
- 00:07:07watching this, if you're a male, this
- 00:07:08word could be for you as well. So, this
- 00:07:10is going to be taken from the book of
- 00:07:12Ruth. If you guys are not familiar with
- 00:07:13the book of Ruth, I do encourage you, if
- 00:07:15this is your word, to go through and
- 00:07:17read through the book of Ruth. I'm going
- 00:07:18to give you a very, very short summary
- 00:07:20of it, but this word is not intended to
- 00:07:22give you an in-depth study of the book
- 00:07:23of Ruth. All right, book of Ruth. So,
- 00:07:25Naomi and Ruth. Naomi or Ruth is Naomi's
- 00:07:30daughter-in-law. Naomi and Ruth both
- 00:07:32suffer great loss, right? Naomi loses
- 00:07:35her husband, her sons. So meaning that
- 00:07:38Ruth being her daughter-in-law, lost her
- 00:07:40husband as well. They both suffered
- 00:07:41great loss. Okay. So Naomi is in this
- 00:07:45place of great discouragement and she
- 00:07:47has two daughter-in-laws now and she
- 00:07:49instructs them both to go home. Go back
- 00:07:51to their families because she has
- 00:07:52nothing to offer them. One of them
- 00:07:54follows the instruction and she returns
- 00:07:56to her home. Ruth says, "No, I'm going
- 00:07:59to stay with you." you and this is where
- 00:08:00the famous quote that a lot scripture
- 00:08:02quote famous scripture that a lot of you
- 00:08:04know is wherever you go I'll go where
- 00:08:06you stay I'll stay right that is
- 00:08:08actually Ruth Tanaomi right so what
- 00:08:11she's essentially saying is I'm going to
- 00:08:14remain faithful to you even though you
- 00:08:16don't really have much to give me I'm
- 00:08:18going to remain faithful to you where
- 00:08:20you go I'm going to go too so they
- 00:08:21travel back to Bethlehem there Ruth
- 00:08:24begins working in a field right so they
- 00:08:28are both just traveling uh back to
- 00:08:32Naomi's homeland, I believe. And so
- 00:08:35they're, you know, they're they're
- 00:08:36trying to find hope ultimately, right?
- 00:08:38They they were in in a season of de a
- 00:08:40devastating season. They are moving
- 00:08:42forward as the Lord leads them hope into
- 00:08:46searching for hope. Okay? And so Ruth
- 00:08:49begins working in a field, right? She
- 00:08:51starts do and and field work is not easy
- 00:08:53work, you guys. And there she finds
- 00:08:56favor in the eyes of Boaz who ultimately
- 00:08:59becomes her husband. And it is the
- 00:09:02illustration, you know, Boaz the
- 00:09:04redeemer as Jesus. You know, he
- 00:09:06represents Jesus. If you guys didn't
- 00:09:08know, the whole
- 00:09:10Bible, okay, every story actually points
- 00:09:13back to Jesus. Everything in the word of
- 00:09:15God is is especially in the Old
- 00:09:16Testament is a foreshadow of Jesus
- 00:09:18Christ. So, Boaz represents Jesus Christ
- 00:09:22being her redeemer.
- 00:09:24Okay.
- 00:09:26So, yeah. So, starts out a very uh
- 00:09:30tragic story ends very hopeful, right?
- 00:09:33Which is many of you that are watching
- 00:09:35this, this is your word. You have had a
- 00:09:38season of great loss. Maybe you have
- 00:09:40lost your husband or somebody
- 00:09:42significant to you. Okay? You've been in
- 00:09:45a season of great discouragement, great
- 00:09:47loss. Could be financial loss, right?
- 00:09:50and you have you have decided to remain
- 00:09:53faithful to the Lord. You moved forward
- 00:09:56as he has instructed and you are working
- 00:09:58and doing the things that he has called
- 00:10:00you to do. And you are you are in a
- 00:10:04place of just being hopeful and
- 00:10:06continuing to move forward even though
- 00:10:08you haven't seen your prayers be
- 00:10:11answered. You're not in the season that
- 00:10:13you want to be in. You're not where you
- 00:10:15want to be. All right? But you have
- 00:10:18continued to remain faithful just as
- 00:10:21Ruth has remained faithful. Now, how did
- 00:10:22I get this word? Let's start there.
- 00:10:25Okay. So, my boss, my boss, okay, so I
- 00:10:28do have another job. I I work I work at
- 00:10:31a hotel and my boss uh is a believer as
- 00:10:35well. And she had sent me a text message
- 00:10:37and it was just a word of encouragement.
- 00:10:39She's very encouraging. She's a really
- 00:10:40great boss. I got very lucky there. And
- 00:10:42she had I noticed that she sent it to me
- 00:10:44at 212. Now, yes, the Lord speaks to me
- 00:10:46through numbers, but I see a lot of
- 00:10:48numbers throughout the day. So, I have
- 00:10:49to get the ting, right? So, I got the
- 00:10:50ting. I said, "Ooh, 212." So, I just
- 00:10:53kind of set it aside like I do. I don't
- 00:10:55just go crazy when I get a ting. I got
- 00:10:57to wait. I got to wait it out. See if
- 00:10:58the Lord really, you know, highlights
- 00:11:00that number again. And so, that same
- 00:11:02day, I went and I looked at this jacket
- 00:11:05cuz I was getting my work clothes
- 00:11:07together. And so, my at my job, we
- 00:11:10leveled up. We leveled up, you guys. We
- 00:11:12have to dress more uh more sharp. Okay.
- 00:11:16So, this jacket that I have on right now
- 00:11:17that my boss gave me, right? She hand
- 00:11:20gave me this and she said, "I think this
- 00:11:22one will fit
- 00:11:23you." On the tag, it's part of the 212
- 00:11:27collection. I can't make this up. My
- 00:11:29work coat, right? It says on the tag 212
- 00:11:31collection. I said, "Oh, wow. There's
- 00:11:34that number again." And then I ended up
- 00:11:35seeing the number repeatedly and I've
- 00:11:37continued to see it repeatedly for the
- 00:11:39last about the last month. Okay. So, as
- 00:11:41I seen it about the third time, I looked
- 00:11:43it up and the Lord led me to Ruth 2:12,
- 00:11:47which I'm going to read out of our good
- 00:11:50word here. Okay, so Ruth
- 00:11:522:12, it says, where we at? Where we at?
- 00:11:56The Lord repay you for what you have
- 00:11:58done, and a full reward be given to you
- 00:12:00by the Lord, the God of Israel, under
- 00:12:03whose wings you have come to take
- 00:12:06refuge. Okay. So, this this is Boaz
- 00:12:09speaking to Ruth and he is he is
- 00:12:11assuring her that she's going to be
- 00:12:13rewarded. Why? Because she has been
- 00:12:16faithful and she has taken refuge in the
- 00:12:19Lord. Okay? So, she has taken refuge in
- 00:12:22the Lord. And then I also wanted to
- 00:12:24throw this in there. It was just kind of
- 00:12:25a funny. So when the Lord is wanting me
- 00:12:27to get a word out, he'll he'll continue
- 00:12:29to to what if it's a song, it's a
- 00:12:32number, it's something, he'll continue
- 00:12:34to put it right in front of my face
- 00:12:35until and it'll look it'll accelerate
- 00:12:37and so I know it's time. It's time. So I
- 00:12:40I've been seeing this number daily. I I
- 00:12:43see I see it daily. And then I was I was
- 00:12:46clicking through the radio station and a
- 00:12:49country song was playing before I could
- 00:12:52click it again cuz I didn't want to
- 00:12:53listen to that song. I think it was
- 00:12:54Kenny Chesny, like some tractor song.
- 00:12:56And right at the time that I heard it,
- 00:13:00it was tilling up the land. Something
- 00:13:02about tilling up the land. And at that
- 00:13:04time, a car is passing me and it's
- 00:13:07212. I said, "Wow, working in the
- 00:13:10field." There's the 212. Okay. So, keep
- 00:13:12gleaning in your field. That's what the
- 00:13:14Lord is saying. So, continue gleaning in
- 00:13:15your field. A reward is coming. What
- 00:13:16does it mean to glean in your field? All
- 00:13:19right. All right. So, I got this off the
- 00:13:21Google, which was in reference to
- 00:13:22actually the scriptures. So, I looked up
- 00:13:24gleaning in the field and they
- 00:13:25referenced Ruth. So, this
- 00:13:28is most of us should think about this. I
- 00:13:30guess when we hear gleaning, we should
- 00:13:31just automatically think of the book of
- 00:13:32Ruth, right? We should always be
- 00:13:33thinking on the word of God. That's what
- 00:13:35it says. Meditate on it regularly. Amen.
- 00:13:37All right. So, it says keep gleaning.
- 00:13:40Encouraging. What to keep cleaning means
- 00:13:42to encourage continuous effort and
- 00:13:45perseverance especially in a
- 00:13:47field where resources are abundant but
- 00:13:52are not readily available. So it
- 00:13:54suggests that even when it seems like
- 00:13:56there's nothing to be found. Okay? Your
- 00:13:59your prayers have not been answered.
- 00:14:01You're not seeing the things that you've
- 00:14:02been petitioning for. They're good
- 00:14:03things. The prayers that you are sending
- 00:14:05up, they're good things. Okay? And and
- 00:14:07you're not, well, Lord, well, there
- 00:14:08these are good things. Why haven't they
- 00:14:09been delivered to me yet? Right. Okay.
- 00:14:12It's the effort of searching or gleaning
- 00:14:14can still lead to rewards and new
- 00:14:17opportunities. So, it's saying although
- 00:14:19you're in a field and you're you're
- 00:14:21putting in the work, but you're not
- 00:14:22really seeing anything come. But, you
- 00:14:24know, like this is a field. There's a
- 00:14:26harvest here. Well, it just hasn't come
- 00:14:27yet. It takes time. It takes time, but
- 00:14:31there are rewards there and there are
- 00:14:33new opportunities there. So, the Lord is
- 00:14:35saying, "Yes, a reward is coming for you
- 00:14:38because of your faithfulness." That's
- 00:14:39what I mean is this word is not going to
- 00:14:41be for everybody because no offense
- 00:14:43other believers in the body of Christ.
- 00:14:46We're all in different seasons and um
- 00:14:48some seasons you're not putting in as
- 00:14:50much work. It's really as simple as
- 00:14:52that. That's why we go through different
- 00:14:53seasons. We have wilderness seasons. We
- 00:14:55have promised land seasons. So just be
- 00:14:56when I say you're not putting in as much
- 00:14:58work, it's just you might not be in a
- 00:15:00season where the Lord is really calling
- 00:15:01you to to work in the field. He's
- 00:15:04calling you to reap the harvest. So,
- 00:15:06maybe you're watching this and you're I
- 00:15:07I I did my gleaning last year. I'm
- 00:15:09reaping right now. Well, congrats to
- 00:15:12you. Um, I pray that you enjoy the
- 00:15:15harvest season. So, or some of you, you
- 00:15:18might be watching this and you're a
- 00:15:20believer and the Lord is wanting you to
- 00:15:21glean in the field, but you struggle
- 00:15:23with laziness or you're caught up
- 00:15:24chasing the world or different things.
- 00:15:26So, that's why it's important to to
- 00:15:28understand what season you're in, okay?
- 00:15:30Know where you're at. So, you're being
- 00:15:33faithful. The Lord is going. You are
- 00:15:35going to reap the word. Your harvest is
- 00:15:37coming. Your prayers are going to be
- 00:15:39answered in the name of Jesus. And there
- 00:15:42are going to be new opportunities.
- 00:15:44You're not going to stay in the field
- 00:15:47that you are in. How do we know that?
- 00:15:48Because Ruth didn't stay in that field.
- 00:15:51I also side note for somebody. I've been
- 00:15:54seeing the woodpecker. So when I see
- 00:15:56woodpeckers, the Lord does speak to me a
- 00:15:59lot through birds. It means to keep
- 00:16:00pecking away. All right? to keep taking
- 00:16:03care of business, to just keep doing the
- 00:16:05things that the Lord has called you to
- 00:16:07do, right? Repetitive. So woodpecker is
- 00:16:09like, okay, so just keep going, just
- 00:16:11keep pecking away. So the Lord is
- 00:16:13just just confirming to keep to keep
- 00:16:16pecking away. Okay, some things that he
- 00:16:18wanted me to add that in this season of
- 00:16:22continuing to glean, I you know, I'm
- 00:16:23always trying to cover this up, the
- 00:16:25outlet with my shoulder. I'm always
- 00:16:27like, just angle yourself so they don't
- 00:16:29see the it's not the outlet, the light
- 00:16:32switch.
- 00:16:33Okay. Stay in your own field. That's why
- 00:16:37you had me right down there. What does
- 00:16:38that mean? It means to stay in your own
- 00:16:40field. Ruth had a specific field that
- 00:16:42she was in. Okay. It's important that
- 00:16:43you stay in your own field. That means
- 00:16:45mind your own affairs. Okay? So don't in
- 00:16:48this season of gleaning in your field.
- 00:16:50Uh use a lot of discernment, use a lot
- 00:16:52of wisdom. Try not to be, you know,
- 00:16:53obviously we're never called to meddle
- 00:16:55in other people's business. That's never
- 00:16:57okay. But also just be be
- 00:17:01uh what I want to say here boundaries,
- 00:17:04you know, have boundaries with other
- 00:17:06workers. So workers, other believers in
- 00:17:09Jesus Christ. So Jesus has other people
- 00:17:11working in different fields. No, it's
- 00:17:13it's important that you stay in your own
- 00:17:15field. You focus on what the Lord is
- 00:17:19calling you to work on. Okay? So, in
- 00:17:22this season, he's maybe not calling you
- 00:17:24to lend a hand in somebody else's field.
- 00:17:26Maybe in the past, you've been bouncing
- 00:17:27around and you you help a lot of people
- 00:17:30in in their fields. This is the season
- 00:17:34that you need to stay working in your
- 00:17:35own field. Okay, side note, too, you
- 00:17:37guys. I I released a word yesterday and
- 00:17:38I went back and I was watching it. My
- 00:17:40hands are all over the place. So, I
- 00:17:42said, Raven, you got to keep your hands
- 00:17:44down. So, prayer request. Uh, please
- 00:17:46pray for me to not say like so much and
- 00:17:50to not be too much with my hands. Okay.
- 00:17:52Be professional. Be be
- 00:17:55professional. But keep your character.
- 00:17:58Keep keep your character. I had caffeine
- 00:18:01yesterday for the first time in a
- 00:18:03minute. And I said, you can see it in
- 00:18:04this video. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. But
- 00:18:06I was I had a lot of energy yesterday
- 00:18:08and it was it was definitely manifesting
- 00:18:10through the physical realm. But anyways,
- 00:18:12stay in your own field. All right. The
- 00:18:14harvest is abundant, but it's not ready
- 00:18:16yet. So, yes, the Lord is going to
- 00:18:18reward you for your obedience. How do we
- 00:18:19know this? Well, we see that in the
- 00:18:20word. Even in the word, it says uh the
- 00:18:23the Lord rewards those who diligently
- 00:18:25seek them. So, in order to be obedient,
- 00:18:28to be obedient to the things the Lord
- 00:18:29has called you to do, you first have to
- 00:18:31be seeking him. You have to seek him to
- 00:18:33hear him. You have to seek him to get
- 00:18:35the instructions on what you are called
- 00:18:37to do right here and now. So, you are
- 00:18:40actively seeking him. And the word of
- 00:18:41God says that he rewards those who seek
- 00:18:43him. Our rewards are all going to look
- 00:18:45different. When I say harvest, what I do
- 00:18:46not mean is like money raining down,
- 00:18:49BMWs,
- 00:18:50uh anything that I guess would align
- 00:18:52with the prosperity
- 00:18:54gospel or align with uh a lot of false
- 00:18:58prophets, which there are many online,
- 00:19:00you guys need to be guarded, who only
- 00:19:02speak of blessings, blessings, blessings
- 00:19:04raining down. The Lord's going to bless
- 00:19:05you. The Lord's going to, you know, rain
- 00:19:07money down. everything you've It's
- 00:19:10Disneyland. All your dreams come true
- 00:19:12here.
- 00:19:13Okay. We don't believe in magic. And uh
- 00:19:18why Mr. Walt Disney,
- 00:19:20he he wasn't as moral of a man as a lot
- 00:19:24of people like to think he was. Just
- 00:19:25throwing that out there. Not anti-
- 00:19:28Disney, but life's not Disneyland. All
- 00:19:31right. Okay. So, make sure you are not
- 00:19:34polluting your eargates with with false
- 00:19:37prophecies of the Lord is is out to just
- 00:19:40rain down money on you, give you BMWs
- 00:19:44and all of that. Okay? Harvest is
- 00:19:47essentially answers to prayers. Okay?
- 00:19:50It's good things the Lord wants to give
- 00:19:51us. A lot of those prayers are going to
- 00:19:54be a lot of the harvest is going to be
- 00:19:56in the spiritual realm. So, walking into
- 00:19:59a season of freedom, clarity. Okay. So,
- 00:20:02you've been praying, Lord, I want
- 00:20:04clarity. Walking into a season of
- 00:20:05clarity, okay? Walking into a higher
- 00:20:08level of understanding the Lord and the
- 00:20:10calling on your life. Okay?
- 00:20:12Reconciliation. A lot of many people in
- 00:20:14this season are praying for
- 00:20:15reconciliation in relationships. And the
- 00:20:18Lord, he reconciliation is a good thing.
- 00:20:20Amen. So if it's if God is prompting you
- 00:20:24to continue praying for somebody or
- 00:20:26seeking reconciliation in relationship,
- 00:20:27that means there's a good chance that he
- 00:20:29seeks to reconcile you. So that is an
- 00:20:32answer to prayer. Okay? An opportunity.
- 00:20:36All right? Just different doors opening.
- 00:20:38You might just be in that waiting season
- 00:20:40waiting for the Lord to open the door
- 00:20:42and he hasn't opened that door yet. So
- 00:20:44he says, "Well, while you're waiting,
- 00:20:46continue working. Continue gleaning in
- 00:20:48your field." Okay? He's not going to
- 00:20:51call us to just sit around and do
- 00:20:52nothing. That's that's not resting. If
- 00:20:55you guys are wondering, resting isn't
- 00:20:57just right. Resting and laziness are not
- 00:20:59the same thing. Rest is important for
- 00:21:03growth. Okay, some of you guys maybe the
- 00:21:07Lord is actually I'll say that in a
- 00:21:09minute. It's here and we talk about the
- 00:21:11water break. But the Lord is not going
- 00:21:14to reward laziness. I'm gonna let you
- 00:21:16know that right now. Get into Proverbs.
- 00:21:18It talks about it a lot. Okay, it it
- 00:21:20literally says in the word, if you don't
- 00:21:21work, you don't eat. So if you're a lazy
- 00:21:24person, you don't even want to work in
- 00:21:26the field. Do not expect a reward from
- 00:21:28the Lord. Why would he? Why would he?
- 00:21:31You know what? Okay, so think of
- 00:21:33children. Okay, if my
- 00:21:35if is it a good thing to give children
- 00:21:40gifts when they're acting naughty or
- 00:21:43they're not helping at all? No. Because
- 00:21:45that enables laziness. Jesus Christ is
- 00:21:48not an enabler. Enabling is not a
- 00:21:50healthy thing. He wants us to have a
- 00:21:53healthy work ethic. And so if you're a
- 00:21:56bo if you're a believer in Jesus Christ
- 00:21:59and you just think that you can sit
- 00:22:00around and do nothing. So add add
- 00:22:03nothing to society, add nothing to the
- 00:22:05body of Christ, and you just sit around
- 00:22:07and you just consume consume consume
- 00:22:11believing that the Lord owes you
- 00:22:12something. That is very problematic.
- 00:22:14come. I'll let you know right now that
- 00:22:16the Lord owes us nothing. We deserve
- 00:22:18nothing but hell. But he's a good father
- 00:22:20and he desires to give us more. But we
- 00:22:23do have to put in work to receive
- 00:22:26blessings. And this has nothing to do
- 00:22:27with salvation. So, let me just go ahead
- 00:22:29and cut that right now. We don't work to
- 00:22:31get our salvation. We do nothing. But
- 00:22:33other things in life, uh, good gifts,
- 00:22:36different things such as that.
- 00:22:38Typically, the Lord is going to have us
- 00:22:40put in some level of work before he
- 00:22:44rewards us, before you go to a job and
- 00:22:46you put in the work and you get paid.
- 00:22:49Okay? The Lord is going to have you do
- 00:22:51something which is just gleaning in your
- 00:22:53field, doing the things that he has
- 00:22:54called you to do. Amen. All right. Why
- 00:22:57also it's important to stay in your own
- 00:23:01field. Stay in your own lane. Stay where
- 00:23:04the Lord has you right now and continue
- 00:23:06working even if it's not the work that
- 00:23:08you desire to be doing. Because if
- 00:23:09you're gleaning in your field right now,
- 00:23:10if this is your gleaning in your field
- 00:23:12season, I'm going to let you know that
- 00:23:14primarily it's not where you want to be.
- 00:23:16I am in a gleaning season. Okay? I am
- 00:23:19not where I want to be permanently. This
- 00:23:22is not where I want to be. Now, I don't
- 00:23:24hate where I'm at, but I just know that
- 00:23:27this isn't what I'm doing right now.
- 00:23:29where I'm at spiritually, physically is
- 00:23:32not where I want to be permanently. And
- 00:23:34I believe the Lord has spoken to me that
- 00:23:35I will not be. But I need to continue
- 00:23:37putting in the work until he desires to
- 00:23:38move me. But it's important that I don't
- 00:23:40run off and do my own thing because then
- 00:23:42I am outside of his protection. Okay? So
- 00:23:45in the book of Ruth, which I encourage
- 00:23:46many of you to go read this, is Boaz uh
- 00:23:49it protects Ruth. He says that you know
- 00:23:51like nobody will touch you, nobody will
- 00:23:53put your hands on you, stay in my field.
- 00:23:55He instructs her to stay in his field
- 00:23:57and so that he can protect her. Stay in
- 00:23:59your own field so the Lord can cover you
- 00:24:01in that Psalm 91 protection. Keep keep
- 00:24:03you protected.
- 00:24:05Okay. But yes, field work is hard. It's
- 00:24:09sweaty. It's dirty. It's not
- 00:24:10comfortable. So, I am in the Midwest.
- 00:24:11I've actually done field work uh before.
- 00:24:14So, I've done it here. I did it when I
- 00:24:15was on the mission field. Uh one of my f
- 00:24:18very first jobs was detassling. If you
- 00:24:19guys have ever detassled, let me know
- 00:24:21below. So, corn. Okay. And it's dirty.
- 00:24:24It's sweaty. When you get done with a
- 00:24:26detassling day, you're just like
- 00:24:27fatigued. You're sweaty. You have dirt
- 00:24:29and just like everywhere. Um, and yeah,
- 00:24:33it's it's hard work. It's hard work.
- 00:24:35That's what I mean. A gleaning season is
- 00:24:37hard. It's not an easy season, okay?
- 00:24:39It's sweaty. It's dirty. It's
- 00:24:41uncomfortable. So, if that sounds like
- 00:24:43the season you're in, well, continue
- 00:24:45gleaning. Keep going. Keep going,
- 00:24:47soldier. All right. Keep going,
- 00:24:51worker. Okay. So, yes. So this is your
- 00:24:54season of faithfulness. So you're still
- 00:24:56showing up to work in your field. This
- 00:24:58is your season of perseverance, right?
- 00:25:00And that's how the things the things the
- 00:25:03Lord has spoken to you. Whether this be
- 00:25:05a promise or just foresight you have
- 00:25:08received or you just have this sense of
- 00:25:10hope in your spirit. You know that the
- 00:25:11Lord is going to bring about a new
- 00:25:13opportunity. Maybe he hasn't spoken to
- 00:25:14you about that what that's going to be.
- 00:25:16It's important to just keep on
- 00:25:18persevering in the season you're in.
- 00:25:20That is a theme in the Christian walk.
- 00:25:22Okay? That is a se a theme for many
- 00:25:24believers right now is to persevere,
- 00:25:26continue moving forward and through that
- 00:25:28perseverance a lot a lot of things are
- 00:25:30coming about right you you're uh
- 00:25:32strengthening your relationship with
- 00:25:33Jesus Christ which is most important and
- 00:25:34you are building character within
- 00:25:36yourself which is very important because
- 00:25:38we are set aparts in this world by our
- 00:25:41character.
- 00:25:42Amen. Okay. And it's also Ruth was
- 00:25:47rewarded for her faithfulness but also
- 00:25:49she was uh you know set apart. So Boaz
- 00:25:52ends up marrying her. Uh, you know, she
- 00:25:55she stands out. Why does she stand out?
- 00:25:57Why does Ruth stand out? Maybe she was
- 00:25:59wonderfully looking. I'm sure she was
- 00:26:00beautiful, but it was uh her her selfish
- 00:26:04or her selflessness. Okay, she was not
- 00:26:06selfish. If she was if if she was acting
- 00:26:10in a posture of selflessness and
- 00:26:13sacrificial love, you know, she's she's
- 00:26:14she's faithful to Naomi and Naomi has
- 00:26:17really nothing to offer her at this
- 00:26:18point, okay? she just she wanted to
- 00:26:21remain faithful to her. So she was set
- 00:26:24apart by her selflessness and her her
- 00:26:26sacrifice and and her willingness to do
- 00:26:28the hard work. So that's what's going to
- 00:26:30set you apart in in this season, okay?
- 00:26:33And ultimately set you apart from the
- 00:26:35world as a believer in Jesus Christ is
- 00:26:37you are selfless. You are a person who
- 00:26:41is willing to sacrifice and you're a
- 00:26:43person who's willing to do the hard,
- 00:26:45dirty, sweaty work. Amen. That it's not
- 00:26:48so pretty. It's like when I get done
- 00:26:50detling you guys, uh I I didn't I I I
- 00:26:55didn't look put together like I am now.
- 00:26:56Let's just say that, okay? I wouldn't
- 00:26:59want to be on camera. It was dirty,
- 00:27:00sweaty work. And oftentimes, too, when I
- 00:27:03was writing this out, what the Lord was
- 00:27:04showing me is I was going through those
- 00:27:05corn fields when I was tassling. So, my
- 00:27:07my only uh field work field work I've
- 00:27:11done has primarily been with corn and
- 00:27:13the stocks are high. I'm hidden in
- 00:27:15there. So, I'm doing all this hard work,
- 00:27:16but nobody can really see me, right?
- 00:27:17Many of you are in a hidden season. So,
- 00:27:19you're doing this hard work, but really
- 00:27:21nobody's seeing you and you feel very
- 00:27:23lonely. More than likely, you're in an
- 00:27:25isolation season for preparation. And
- 00:27:27so, you feel lonely. You don't feel
- 00:27:29appreciated for the work that you're
- 00:27:30putting in. And you feel very fatigued,
- 00:27:32very tired. All right? But the Lord
- 00:27:35says, "Keep gleaning and don't forget to
- 00:27:38take water breaks." So, in the book of
- 00:27:40Ruth, Boaz reminds her to I'm not sure
- 00:27:44where it's at, but he talks about water
- 00:27:47and making sure that she she's drinking
- 00:27:49water. Okay. So, the Lord is saying keep
- 00:27:51working, keep cleaning, but make sure
- 00:27:53you take a water break. So, Boaz, he's a
- 00:27:56he's a good field owner. He's a good
- 00:27:58boss. He's a good He He takes care of
- 00:28:00those that are working for him. You guys
- 00:28:03have worked a different jobs. I mean,
- 00:28:05such a difference when you work for
- 00:28:08somebody, a boss who cares about you.
- 00:28:10All right, make sure you take a break.
- 00:28:12Make sure you know they actually
- 00:28:13genuinely care about you more than they
- 00:28:15care about uh the advancement of
- 00:28:18whatever company you're working for
- 00:28:20versus being in a company or an
- 00:28:22organization that could care less. They
- 00:28:25treat you like a robot, right? There's a
- 00:28:26huge difference. uh that I mean you see
- 00:28:29that you see that on the news you know
- 00:28:30where where stuff comes out and it's uh
- 00:28:34you know corrupt companies that are
- 00:28:36abusing their workers they're underpaid
- 00:28:38they're overworked and so Boaz was not
- 00:28:41like that you know he's like rest and
- 00:28:43make sure you're taking water breaks and
- 00:28:45he protects those as well and that's how
- 00:28:48Jesus is with us you know Boaz being the
- 00:28:50redeemer Jesus Christ is the great
- 00:28:52redeemer and he he he wants us to put in
- 00:28:55the work because working having a good
- 00:28:57work ethic is good for society,
- 00:28:59ultimately good for the body of Christ,
- 00:29:00it's good for us individually. God cares
- 00:29:03about our well-being. Working is good
- 00:29:05for people. Okay? Laziness is not.
- 00:29:08Laziness produces death and just a whole
- 00:29:10realm of really horrible things. Okay?
- 00:29:13So, it's good for us. That's why God has
- 00:29:14us do it because he really does
- 00:29:15genuinely care about us. All right? And
- 00:29:19he wants us protected. He doesn't want
- 00:29:21people abusing us or anything. So, he
- 00:29:23that's why he wants us to stay close to
- 00:29:25him. Boaz, Ruth, stay in my field. Stay
- 00:29:27close to me so I can protect you. Jesus
- 00:29:29says, "My children, stay close to me. I
- 00:29:32want to protect you. Make sure you take
- 00:29:33your water breaks. Make sure you are
- 00:29:35taking rest in your gleaning season.
- 00:29:37You're working. You're doing the things
- 00:29:38the Lord has for you, but make sure to
- 00:29:39prioritize rest." Well, what does that
- 00:29:41mean to rest? Well, prioritize just
- 00:29:43spending time with Jesus. You should be
- 00:29:45doing that every day, but there's a time
- 00:29:46to study. All right? There's a time to
- 00:29:49war. There's a time to just hang out,
- 00:29:52listen to the birds chirp. I don't know
- 00:29:54if you guys can hear. I have my window
- 00:29:55open right now. I can hear the birds
- 00:29:56chirping out there. And just relax.
- 00:29:59Okay, relax. Just go on a walk. Uh make
- 00:30:03sure you I mean physically make sure you
- 00:30:05are drinking water as well. If you're
- 00:30:07doing a lot of fasting, you know, make
- 00:30:09sure that uh you have a plan with your
- 00:30:12fasting, you know, um preparing your
- 00:30:14fast, ending your fast, different things
- 00:30:16such as that. Okay. So, but make sure
- 00:30:19that you are taking rest breaks in your
- 00:30:22gleaning season. All right. I also put
- 00:30:23on your sunscreen. You're outside doing
- 00:30:26that hard work. You guys put on your
- 00:30:28sunscreen. I am an advocate for the
- 00:30:29sunscreen. All right. It's good. You
- 00:30:31know, uh my my son's taekwondo teacher,
- 00:30:36he's a pastor. He actually has skin
- 00:30:37cancer. He always reminds the kids that
- 00:30:39they need to to put on the sunscreen.
- 00:30:41Okay? It's a protective shield. So, make
- 00:30:43sure that you are physically wearing
- 00:30:44sunscreen, but your spiritual sunscreen
- 00:30:46as well. Amen. Sun's harsh out there.
- 00:30:48So, you got to get in the shadow of the
- 00:30:49Lord. There we go. That's your
- 00:30:51sunscreen. Psalm 91. protection in the
- 00:30:52shadow of the Lord. Get in that shadow
- 00:30:54so your skin don't get scorched. Amen.
- 00:30:57But yes, I encourage you to read this
- 00:31:00book of Ruth. All right? Drink lots of
- 00:31:02water. Stay hydrated. It is the summer
- 00:31:04months, people. All right? But also be
- 00:31:08encouraged. Be encouraged, children of
- 00:31:10God, women of God, men of God. All
- 00:31:13right? Maybe some people don't see the
- 00:31:15hard work you're putting in, but God
- 00:31:17does, and he will reward you as he sees
- 00:31:21fit. All right. Reward is coming.

- 00:31:26field. Amen.
