Did we learn to ride the wave? What do you mean?
My heart goes to the families that have lost loved ones….. However, we must know all men are appointed to die…..100% sure of it…. My largest prayer to our Heavenly Father, is did they know you and please let them know Your Son, this day…..
We do not know when our last day is on this earth…. Our God does. Is it not imperative to draw close to a God as we have been allowed time?
There may be more waves to come in the future of our days…Some small and some waves seem to multiply into others that grow mightier as time goes on.
As written in Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah…..
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us, The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come, behold the works of the Lord, who has made desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
The Lord of hots is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
by which also you saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you- unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received; that Christ died for our sins according to Scriptures,
and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.
After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.
After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles, ( 1 Corinthians 15:1-7. )
Until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,
to whom He also presented Himself alive after His sufferings by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, which, He said, you have heard from Me;
for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
And He said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father has put in His own authority.
But you shall receive the power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner a you saw Him go into heaven, ( Acts 1:1-11).
Because……..as written in 13:8 , Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
We look up to where our help comes from, but we have been given a Helper…… Or we may soon be given a Helper, if we ask for Him, if we do not know or have Holy Spirit,……
Now I wrote the Holy Writ, to emphasize the time we are in now….. Jesus rose from the dead and manifested Himself to many people, over five hundred men and women……then He was received into heaven…. This is the forty days where we are now between Resurrection of our King and His reception into heaven and then………?????
Jesus spoke to His crew before they came to take Him away in John 14:13-23: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
If you love Me, keep My commandments.
And I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-
the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you,
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me and I in you.
He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me, will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.
Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?
Jesus answered and said to them, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
Who cannot be overcome and so excited over the Promises Jesus is making to them and now to us? Do we hear Him? Scriptures states all that are His, hear His voice….. Do we see Him? Scripture above states if we love Him and obey Him, we shall see Him….. The world won’t see but we who have eyes ?
Man, when I read this for the first time, I started to cry that God’s love was so strong and yet, wanted to dwell in Me and with me forever……Yes, Yes, I said, come to me now, please? Please come…..
I often question what happened to the five hundred? Jesus appeared to a lot of people when He was around those forty days…… Have we asked Him that if we draw close to open our eyes?
There were only 120 in the upperroom for the giving of His Spirit upon His believers……. 500-120 equals 380 didn’t show…… They might have come later with Peter’s preaching in Acts 2.
The point I am making…… We are in the same forty day, ( a little less than that today), holding pattern between His Resurrection and Pentecost…….There were a complete number of fifty days so we can celebrate Pentecost as our God’s jubilee.
We always get what we are seeking…… If we are seeking things of the world, we will get them….. If we are seeking the Uncreated One, we will get Him as He promised.
Everyone tends to think forty days are oh oh, trials and tribulations, but in these days, 40 days can be the sweetest days living with Holy Spirit within us…..
We have no other reliance but on God, if we believe….We have peace in the midst of storms, because He is with us.
HE IS WITH US! He has not left us or forsaken us….. Shouldn’t we be leaning and clinging to Him as our refuge and help in this time of need?…… He is our Answer and will guide us through or even better over the waves that are before us.
Do not fear. Our God is with us….. Let us be still and trust Him.
Most of all, receive the Promise of the Father!!!!!..… Holy Spirit on and within us….. He speaks to us not in the loud earthquakes, nor in the blowing wind, but sometimes, He comes to us that way…. Nor is He in the fire, but He is the still small voice.. and turns us into His fiery ones.
He will not compete with the noise of the world. If that is what we listen to, He will not be heard….. Our hearts must be prepared for Him, if we have not received Him…..
The forty days can be preparing for His arrival to our hearts, our home…. Get the world out and let the Word of God in…..
The idols must be destroyed. The turning to Him and crying out- You are God and there is no other…. What must I do?
He will let you know….. I promise, He will let you know…. Be washed in His blood and be an empty waterpot for Him to fill up…..
These days may be perilous and we must know and live that our God is our refuge. There is no other like our God. But that must be your experience and then testimony.. Only He can give us peace as the storm is swirling around us…..
This world is a stepping stone to our next place of residence….. God’s kingdom in His glory or living and experiencing God’s wrath in th\e lake of fire forevermore…..
He loves us and died for us so we may call Him our God and live in Him by Jesus Christ……TODAY!
We must decide . Tomorrow is not a given.
Satan surely wants you to put off your decision….. This is not written in the Scriptures, but misery loves company…..
Let’s see- peaceful rest in Him or not….. Seems to me to be a no brainer…..Unfortunately, there are many that miss His call, I pray that will not be you.
Please do not mistake God’s silence in your life as your okay…… The noise of the world in your life may be muffling out His tapping you on the shoulder. God always is speaking, we must have the frequency of heaven to hear. Our heart must be pliable to obey….
Most of all, He must have preeminence.
He loves you and wants you with Him and He wants to be in you to help you on this narrow road….. Remember as written in the Be Attitudes, wide is the road for destruction.
HE IS ALIVE -Beloved, WE ARE ALIVE IN HIM….
Be still and in one accord. His arm is not shortened….. Watch the rain, however, do not think the rain is here, the waves will not rise. Rain is coming from the heaven, vertical. Waves rise on the horizon.
He is the Helper to teach us to ride the waves and not be overcome.
Listen to Him and talk to Him often.
He will tell all things to come. He will strengthen by adversity. Did you ever get strong sitting in complacency ? We then will choose the good and right path to His peace and blessing. No matter what is going on, we will overcome.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord,
as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
by which we have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
to knowledge self control, to self control perseverance, to perseverance to godliness, to godliness to brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren, nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, ( 2 Peter 1:2-11).
Let’s take a deep breath of Him and repent.
Let’s bow our knee to our King as Lord.
Let us ask for His Spirit to abide in us.
Let us let go and grab on to His mane of thunder.
Let us ride on His reign through the kingdom of our God who is mighty to save.
Fly high because we have bowed low.
Be still and hear His roar and get the sound and move of heaven this day.
Turn to see His voice speaking to you……. Shhhhh! Listen!
Ask for the dreams of His heart; ask for the visions of His heart.
Beloved, prepare for His coming! FOR HE IS COMING!!
Listen closely,- can you hear the Spirit and the bride say COME? Even so, Lord Jesus, come!!
Now give Him our time to allow His good and perfect work in us.
Amen!!!
Selah!
Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Children,
Why watch others, when I AM in your midst. They cannot save your soul and spirit from your sins and idols…. I AM the Only One who you must come to- so come to Me now as the snow is lightly covering the grass of your heart. I am beckoning you to come to Me now….. Meet I AM now while the sun is still low in the sky. Come to Me. I AM that I AM but I AM lowly and gentle this day as I AM knocks on the door of your heart…. Let Me in….. Trust Me… Open up your heart, I AM knows you….. Come to know Me now as the night draws nigh….. I AM closer to you than your breath, but you will not let Me in to help you…. I know you hear Me in the middle of the night when all is silent but your wondering worrying mind for your heart can never be quiet. Come to Me, I AM will quiet your soul with My refreshing water and cleanse you from all your sins with My life blood. Come to Me…. You say you are not hungry, but you watch My beloved. You say you are satisifed, but you watch My own…… Grab My feet, and you shall be healed of blindness in your issue of life…. Know Me now and forevermore will be Your peace.
Those who hear My tempo, justice is My crown and My feet fall heavy on the oppressors in the lands….. Hear My thunder and lightning come set order for righteousness. Walk in My footsteps and do not hold back for all is coming to Light. All that is hidden will be disclosed. All that is spoken in secret will be magnified. I AM has heard the cries of My beloved. I AM that I AM. Do not fear, believe My glory is seen and known. I AM a mighty God and glory I AM is your refuge…… Meet My eyes of fire. Oh beloved, they are of My everlasting love for you who cling to Me…. My heart is satisfied for you draw close to I AM. See those things that are not yet as you pray for them to be because I AM with you…… Believe and see My goodness now in the land of the living…. I AM has heard. See in your watch……See and then watch…Believe first and then the seen will be in your watch. Hear for My sound approaching! Awake to My new sound. Have I AM not said, I AM doing a new thing! Will you perceive it? Allow the new. Are not the waterpots filled with new wine?
I AM the same always, but do you know how I AM will present Himself this day?
SELAH!! SELAH! !!
