Sickness is evil. . .it is not of God.

We never see God introduce it in the Bible.  We only see it show up after Satan comes into the picture.

Though there are some well-meaning Christians who feel it’s a cross God wants us to bear. 

Not so.  Absolutely, scripturally speaking. . .not so.

The only things we see come from God are good gifts. . .advantageous gifts.

James 1:17 says:

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

According to Strong’s Concordance the Greek word for good is G18 and it means:

When God stirred us to teach. . .seven keys to being a receiver. . .I thought it was for a Rich Thoughts for Breakfast call. . .BUT GOD always has a better idea.

Out of curiosity. . .I Googled “I’m a Receiver” and was surprised to find the lead post was a song by the same name performed by a group called Apologetix. . . whom I’d never heard off.

Imagine my surprise as I discovered the song was sung to the music of “I’m A Believer” by the Monkees.

Check out the lyrics below. . .you’ll be blessed by the words.

“I thought God was only Jewish fairy tales

Meant for someone else with lots more faith

All my doubts depressed me…that’s the way it stayed

Till a voice said, ‘Honey, call my name’

Then I got His grace. . .now I’m a receiver

Have you been looking for your Boaz?  A successful, wealthy, Godly man to marry?

Are you looking for your Ruth?  A lovely, Godly woman of integrity to call your wife?

Are you praying for a Ruth or a Boaz for your children and/or grandchildren?

Or are you just curious about the 7 keys to finding your successful, wealthy, Godly mate?

If you answered yes. . .to any of these questions. . .then you’re listening to the right teaching. . .

For a moment, I want to discuss the most effective and successful key for you to utilize in finding your Boaz or your Ruth..

Ask God.  That’s right. . .ask God to bring the right person into your life and remove all the wrong influences.  For every believer. . .this is the number one key to finding the person God has for you or for their children or grandchildren.

Here are the seven keys to finding your Boaz or Ruth:

1.         Respect and care for your elders. . .and those in authority over you.

Have you had a bad day. . .or maybe even a bad day or two or three this past week?

Do you feel like nothing is going right?

Are things that you thought not coming to pass as you had planned them?

Are other people raining on your parade or plans?

Are you taking your lack of success (financial or otherwise) personally?

Does it feel like nobody cares about what’s happening in your life?

If you get nothing else from what we’re going to say in this teaching. . .let this next sentence get deep down in your mind and in your spirit.

God loves you even on your bad days.

Let me say that again.

God loves you even on your bad days.

Have you ever wondered. . .God, why do I have to go through this?

Or perhaps, you thought. . .why am I having to go through the fire?

While I realize that no one wants to go through hard times… I can tell you with absolute certainty what you will find in the fire.

It’s your miracle. 

That’s right.

Your miracle is in the fire.

My favorite Bible story as a child was about the three Hebrews thrown into the fiery furnace.  I loved this story even more than Daniel in the lion’s den.

Before we go any further. . .once again. . .I’m going to make a powerful, life-changing statement that I want you to write down.

“My miracle is in the fire.”
