JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE
Walking that close to Him that we hear Him speak as a friend speaking to a friend
LEARNING TO WAIT ON GOD
Wait My Daughter until you LEARN
"Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out". 🧡Ruth 3:14🧡
In your waiting place, cling to the hope that never once has our God left our story unfinished.
It may not look how we expected, but as with Ruth, our story is His story. It was then and it will be in the years to come.
We are only to wait, to trust and to obey! His plans is so much better than what we can think, dream or imagine!
We only see in part, but our God sees the whole picture of our life's story. So I will wait and I will trust in Him
Fond regards

WHEN DEATH DIED - SATAN was Bruise yes conquered and DEFEATED
DEATH WHERE IS YOUR STING - GRAVE WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY
A FEW MISTAKES BY SATAN WAS
Getting Jesus to and on the cross
Then TRYING to LURE Him down saying "IF YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD - COME DOWN"
He realized NO Stone could hold Jesus in a TOMB of DEATH !!!!!
The Satan hears the words of the Women at the tomb with the stone rolled away - HE IS NOT HERE
THE Un Necessary agony of Self Inflicted Torment
ARE WE OUR OWN TORMENTORS???????????????
By
Gemaê Almendro
"We which have believed do enter into rest." Hebrews 4:3) "Men have not been created to be torturers and murderers. To be criminal is unnatural.
Therefore, the criminals are terribly tormented themselves. Only a tormented man torments another. In the "White Book About the Trial Siniavski-Daniel," we find the description of how Lenin used to leave his room and go into the yard at two o'clock in the morning. Standing in the snow, he would howl at the moon. He did it every night. He howled a little bit, listened if everything was quiet, then he would howl again, until he began to freeze.
Then he would re-enter his room to make plans for the future destiny of Russia. The story has been told by Lenin's own bodyguard. Not every man is a tormentor on such a large scale as Lenin or Hitler were, but many have the "stuff" of a Bolshevik.
We torment our marriage partners, our parents, our friends, our employees. We are brutal, sadistic. We find our joy in tormenting others, but we are tormented ourselves.
Only a troubled man is a troublemaker.
You could free others from your wickedness, and you could be free yourself if you would only listen to Jesus' gracious invitation….. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28).
THESE TORMENTING CHAINS CAN AND MUST COME OFF
From: Reaching Toward Heights - Richard Wurmbrand
FREE FRO THE CHAINS OF BEING A TORMENTOR AND A VICTIM TORMENTED !!!!!
God has this PASSION that we should be Free indeed
Man if NOT careful becomes a TORMENTOR of Himself
IN JESUS THERE IS VICTORY TO FREE US FROM EVERY CHAIN
TORMENTED or a TORMENTOR COME TO JESUS FOR THAT VICTORY FOR WHICH HE DIED !!!!!
NEVER !!!!!!! Going Back from WHAT I have been DELIVERED !!!!!
NEVER !!!!!!! Going Back to what I have been DELIVERED FROM !!!! By His Grace

Move close to Me Then I will move closer to you “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” James 4:8 KJV James beckons us to draw near to God just as the priests in the Old Testament would draw near to God in the temple sanctuary. The priests would approach God in worship - with faith and fear.
When we draw near to God, the promises of God can become real in our lives. Peace, strength, hope, joy, love...will begin to characterize our living.
What Does it Mean to Draw Near to God? We draw near to God through prayer and worship. When we come before him with a humble heart, in submission to His will, and with a desire to glorify Him as Lord over our lives, we are able to experience the closeness of God and all the blessings that follow.
"Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water".
In Hebrews 10:22, we are given an outline for how to draw near to God. We are called to draw near to God in worship—together—with others who love Christ. The basis for this call to worship is the sacrificial work of Christ, the Savior—we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus (v. 19), and His ongoing intercession as our great High Priest (v. 21).
But
How are we to draw near to God? The Scripture says, "let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."
LET GOD BE THAT MAGNATE FORCE IN YOUR LIVE AND BE DRAWN AS A MOTH TO A LIGHT AND STEEL TO A MAGNATE !!!!!!!!
Be Blessed

The END of your BIRTH PANGS
By
Gemae Almendro
As we get closer to the return of Jesus, the “birth pangs” will become more frequent and intense. The shaking isn’t going to stop. We can hide, retreat, live in fear, and hope it all goes away. Or we can become UNSHAKABLE by building our lives on obedience to the Word of God. It is the ONLY foundation that stands through every storm.
Matthew 24:6-8 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

WHEN WE PRAY
WHY PRAY????_
When we Pray
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” Hebrews 10:19-23 KJV
When we pray, we pray on the same basis and with the same rights as Paul, John, James and Peter. We rank equal with the greatest saints.
The promises to them are the promises to us. They prayed the same Lord’s prayer as we pray. We have the same privileges as they had.
God has no favorites except we are ALL His favorites. They had the same key to the door as we have – the name of Jesus.
We come to the front door and walk in, without knocking, without a receptionist to announce us.
We do not need angels or saints to usher us into God’s presence. We are sons and heirs – we have complete freedom of access into our Father’s house.
That is a very good reason indeed for praying. We pray because it was made possible at great cost to one person, Jesus Christ. We have been “brought near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13). What a price so that we can pray!
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need”
Kind regards
Gemae
(Hebrews 4:16). That is the whole idea.
Yes TAKE YOUR SEAT that God has for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take Your Seat !!!! and Leave it only by the LEADING of God
Taking your Seat
You’re going to take your place. You’re going to find your seat.
The Lord gave me a picture of someone on an airplane. Every time you tried to take a seat, you were informed that the seat was already taken or that it belonged to someone else. You were growing increasingly frustrated because you knew you had a ticket.
This was a journey that you had to take. But you couldn’t find your place. It seemed as if there was no seat for you. But then the cabin crew came along and they said: “Follow me. I’ve found your seat.
There’s a place for you.“ And they led you into first class. The seat was perfect. As you looked around there were lots of smiling faces. People said ‘hello’. You couldn’t believe it because you knew some of them. Others, who you didn’t know, called you by your name.
They knew you even though you didn’t know them. The Lord was to tell you that he has a place for you. Some of you have been struggling to fit in. You’ve been finding it really difficult to find your place. Every time you think that you have found your seat, it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t fit, you know it’s not right, you’re even supplanted or replaced by someone else. And you’ve grown increasingly frustrated.
Because you know the Lord has a specific call on your life. But you are struggling to find your place. Today the Lord wants to tell you: You’re going to take your place. You’re going to find your seat. And it is so much better than you could ever have imagined or expected. He has people waiting for you.
He has resources and relationships in place for you. There are already people there having conversations behind your back (in a good way). And when you get there you’re going to be surprised because it may not be the seat that you expected. It’s an upgrade on your plan. But there are people He has placed already there.
There are resources, there are relationships, there is blessing and favor. You’re going to take your place. You’re going to find your seat. 1 Samuel 2:8 “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor.” John 14:2 “…I am going there to prepare a place for you.” Ephesians 2:6 “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus…”

LOVING GOD with all our HEARTS
Many of us don't realize what we have because we're too busy looking for what we don't have, or what we want.. Love the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul & with all your mind. This is the 1st & greatest commandment. -Matthew 22:37
Fond Regards,

WALKING WITH GOD MEANS !!!!!!!!!!
What the Lord is revealing in this generation is His face as we come to know Him.
What He is revealing will not be acted out in our flesh. We will not 'know' Him by studying Him, we will know Him.
The entire human race knows what relationship is. We open our heart to know each other, yet we say we know Him by studying Him, or our new version of Him.
Well, we do not study Him to walk in Him. What an utterly wretched and empty heart that is.
It is void of surrender.
It is not a response to Him, it is religion without Him.
The knowledge of Him only comes by Him. This is Him filling and speaking to us, correcting us and changing us, not us practicing what we have read.
Those who wrote of Him heard His voice. It is His desire that we know Him more, not less than they did.
The arrogance of the way the church is behaving proves that the practice of what we know of Him is walking without Him.
Those who are humbled in His presence do not seek signs and wonders, ministry and power, or continued prophecies for an entire year over your life or the future, they seek Him first.
The flesh desires these things, and the flesh walks in them. Jesus healed generously when He walked among men. He even raised the dead. He has probably healed generously in most of our own lives, as well.
But that was entirely up to Him. We are at times allowed to keep our thorns.
Let’s not seek to walk in power to see His hand move. Let’s seek His heart to know Him, and therein lies the difference. A heart given to Him desires Him.
“And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.” Matthew 14:29 KJV
NEVERTHE LESS GOD WILL
NEVERTHELESS GOD CAN AND HE WILL
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Matthew 6:33 KJV The Word of God teaches us the “Nevertheless Principle”. Simply put, “Never-the-less” means “Always-the-most”.
When circumstances don’t appear good, nevertheless God always gives us the best when we trust in Him. No matter what you’ve done, NEVERTHELESS God will forgive you when you turn to Him in repentance and faith.
No matter what you’re facing today, NEVERTHELESS God will deliver you when you trust in Him.
No matter what you lack, NEVERTHELESS God will provide for you when you call on Him in faith.
Jeremiah 32:27 “I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?”
TABLES OVERTURNED BY JESUS
ARE WE READY TO HAVE OUR TABLES OVERTURNED BY JESUS
A Year of overturning Tables for Jesus!!!!!!
Jesus is entering our ‘temple’ and overturning the tables.
▪️The table of dead religion that steals the joy of fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
▪️The table of liberal ‘progressivism’ that neuters the Gospel of its life-changing power.
▪️The table of ‘celebrity’ Christianity that idolizes man in place of worshipping Jesus.
▪️The table of ungodly leadership that controls and manipulates God’s people.
▪️The table of people-pleasing that prevents you from fully expressing who you are in Christ.
▪️The table of fear and insecurity that keeps you contained and passive.
▪️The table of unhealthy habits and patterns that have controlled you for too long.
▪️The table of old alignments and alliances that hinder you from entering the new territory the Father is placing before you.
He wants to be the Lover of your soul no matter what Will we serve Him without any strings attached and worship Him as the Lamb that was slain coming for His Bride; without the influence of celebrity churches promising financial gain; Blessings upon Blessings upon Blessings or are we ready to turn the Tables and Worship.
The Time has Come He is ‘driving out’ strongholds of demonic lies and deception that have held His people in captivity for too long.(We His people are TRULY deceived and need to be rscued by God)
He wants His temple cleansed! He is restoring true worship. He is returning His people to prevailing prayer and warfare, intimacy with the Spirit, disciplined fasting, supernatural power, signs and wonders, miracles and healing, bold evangelism and Kingdom authority, holiness and a fear of the LORD. “On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables… …he said, “Is it not written:
'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it 'a den of robbers.'” (Mark 11 vv. 15-17)
Jesus found them sellin """TEA AND CAKES""" can we just imagine what will be the reaction of Jesus if He had to visit our Modern Churches and what is promoted and ALLOWED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not Suffer Thy Foot to be Moved
A SECURED FOOTHOLD IN GOD
GOD WILL NOT SUFFER THY FOOT TO BE MOVED
God is a God of protection. I love his promises to us in Psalm 121.
HE WILL NOT SUFFER THY FOOT TO BE MOVED is a picture of the kinds of traps we set for animals where the foot of the unsuspecting animal that walks upon the trap is caught and the animal is swung high up and left hanging upside down in the air on the strong, thick stick until the morning when the trapper comes to check the trap. God is promising us here that our foot will not get trapped . Your foot is also the organ of locomotion .
You move your feet when you want to move around . God is promising us that circumstances that cause us to move around against our will will not befall us.
Nothing shall move our foot against our will. God will protect us. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil.
Nothing evil will come near your dwelling if you trust in God. Verse 7 says from all evil. Not everything that befalls us is from God. His word says here that THE LORD SHALL PRESERVE THEE FROM ALL EVIL.
Let us therefore continue to trust in the protection of God. Psalm 121 King James Version (KJV) 121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
If God gives you a mountain He gives you the feet
GOD GIVEN FEET FOR GOD GIVEN FEATS
Several places in Scripture refer to God making our feet “like hinds’ feet” (Habakkuk 3:19; 2 Samuel 22:34; Psalm 18:33, KJV).
This language describes the blessings the presence of God brings to a situation. Through this we as people learn to overcome fear and suffering like a deer leaping over obstacles.
The deer, or hind, referred here can also be called a gazelle, a graceful, swift, and sure-footed animal that can climb sheer rocky cliffs and never stumble or fall.
In climbing, the deer can place her back feet exactly where her front feet were, thus needing only two sturdy footrests instead of four.
She can scamper across what appears to be a vertical cliff, unafraid and undeterred by seemingly impassable terrain. That is the picture the inspired writers draw for us when they describe their sure-footed reliance on the Lord in times of crisis.
Habakkuk had cried out to God about the sinful condition of his nation, and he had some questions about the methods God was going to use to correct the situation.
But, like the psalmists, Habakkuk did not stop with penning his frustration; he continued wrestling with his confusion until the Lord brought him to a place of resolution.
Habakkuk 3:17–19 expresses the faith of the prophet in the face of troubled times: “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.” When we run with hinds’ feet on high places, treading “on the heights,” we live above our circumstances.
God gives us the grace, courage, and inner strength we need to press on to attain new heights and experience new vistas. With the swiftness of a deer, we can escape our enemies and gain freedom. All this is because “the Sovereign LORD is my strength” (Habakkuk 3:1). Regardless of what others may do, we keep our eyes securely fastened on the Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:2).
We run with endurance the race set before us (Hebrews 12:1) and refuse to give up until God calls us home (Philippians 3:12–14).
We watch with amazement as He accomplishes His work in and through us, and we give Him all the praise and glory (Romans 11:36; Philippians 4:20).
We shake off the temptation to live for ourselves, and like a deer on a mountain slope, we step boldly into whatever God has called us to do. In the midst of trying times, it is easy to become overwhelmed with discouragement.
Habakkuk definitely lived in trying times, but his solution was to redirect his attention to the Lord. God is the Solid Rock that never fails (Psalm 144:1–2).
With God’s promises as our strong foundation, we can walk in freedom and courage, as unafraid and undaunted as a deer leaping on high places.
Your Significance in God
God has destined you to be significant in this life!
But to achieve your destiny and be significant you must reset your goals. Success does not come when your goals focus on SELF. Success comes when your goals focus on SIGNIFICANCE.
When you aim for something BIGGER than yourself, you launch into a new realm of significance. Your life achieves more when your goals are focused on God’s glory and lifting up others. “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26 KJV
AND THE SPIRIT SAYS COME !!!!!
“But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:” 2 Thessalonians 2:13 KJV
When we see salvation whole — and every single part — is found in Christ, we must beware lest we derive the smallest drop from somewhere else.
If we seek salvation, the very name of Jesus teaches us that he possesses it. If other Spirit-given gifts are sought — in his anointing they are found. If strength — in his reign; purity — in his conception; tenderness — expressed in his nativity, when he was made like us in all respects, that he might learn to feel our pain. Redemption when we seek it, is in his passion found; acquittal — in his condemnation lies; and freedom from the curse — in his cross is known.
If satisfaction for our sins we seek — we’ll find it in his sacrifice; and cleansing in his blood. If reconciliation now we need, for this he entered Hades; if mortification of our flesh — then in his tomb it’s laid; and newness of our life — his resurrection brings; and immortality as well comes also with that gift.
And if we also long to find heaven’s kingdom our inheritance, his entry there secures it now with our protection, safety too, and blessings that abound — all flowing from his kingly reign.
The sum of all for those who seek such treasure-trove of blessings, these blessings of all kinds, from nowhere else can now be drawn than him; they’re found in Christ alone.
So, let us “put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”
