A Powerful Thanksgiving with Great Gratitude

My husband, Gerry and I have been going through many trials and tests for a short time now, but last night, we were blessed to be invited by some old friends to their Church for a Thanksgiving Celebration — and what a beautiful time of love, fellowship and true Thanksgiving we believe was had by all!
We came home filled to overflowing with the loving spirit of the Pastor and all the people we encountered.
We felt a transparency and great discernment flowing from the pulpit and among the people.
As I pondered that experience with The LORD, this is what He said to me.
“My Daughter, what I AM going to say to you, not only applies to you, but to many who have waited patiently for my timing.
I AM pouring out deeper and greater Discernment as you move to the end of 2025,” said The LORD.
“There will be a short window of time for you to walk in My Wisdom with a new Vision!
You will not only recognize those whom I send into your life immediately, but you will also know that you know those whom the enemy sends to hinder your Call and stop you from moving forward!
In this late hour, I AM instructing you to give those who are sent to hinder you a picture of My Goodness and Mercy, as many of them once knew me but were lured away by the love of the world.
So, show Love — but also show humility, for I desire to deliver them from the spirit of entitlement.
So many who once knew Me, have been deceived by the pride of their hearts.
In this late hour, I so desire for my Chosen to be carriers of My Truth, with a Heart of true Transparency!
Tell them the story of your Savior and how I gave you Beauty for ashes, the oil of Joy for mourning, the garment of Praise, for the spirit of heaviness.
Beloved, there are so many even in churches that are weighed down with the spirit of heaviness.
I AM coming, seeking those who are willing and ready to walk out of the darkness into My marvelous Light!” says The LORD.
“I AM sending The Fire of My Love through those that are willing and ready to burn up the rubbish and lies that have filled so many seekers with garbage.
Won’t you go for Me and be be a Carrier of your purified beauty?
It is time for My Fiery Disciples to run with their anointing and bring Deliverance to those to whom I send you.
I AM Calling you forth with Discernment and Perseverance to set the captives free!
So, be steadfast and know that the obstacles that are presenting themselves, will test your determination and perseverance.
Take great care to be still, and listen to My Voice as I lead you past your circumstances and disappointments, losses and painful issues, to run with a fixed focus and pass the test of empowered endurance.
This is your time! You have been chosen to pay forward all that you have been given as a trustworthy servant for The Glory of The LORD,” says The Father.
“You must now guard the many deposits entrusted to you for the Glory of The LORD,” says The Father.
This has been a time to recall the many people that The LORD had used to rescue, deliver and disciple me.
Honestly, we are in a situation with some very difficult issues but even so, my heart is full to overflowing with His unfailing Love.
I realize with great joy that I am rich beyond measure and the world and all its riches cannot compare to what I have been given.
Won’t you pause with me for a moment and give thanks with a grateful heart that you are being sent out as HIS Messenger in this time of worldly despair and great fear?
May we truly be Holy as He is Holy!
May we allow The Fear of The LORD to fill our hearts daily?

Sandi, I must read this again at another time also. Such guidance and wisdom for us. That is a beautiful thanksgiving dinner table right there – glad you and Gerry had a wonderful time at a blessed occasion such as that. Blessings to you and Jerry.
Blessings to you as well, dear sweet Jennifer. I appreciate your sincere words regarding guidance. May we all seek His wisdom as we press on to the Christmas season. We did have a wonderful refreshing time and fabulous food with our friends. Honestly, their Pastor was so full of compassion and love it just warmed our hearts. In His everlasting love, Sandi
I thank The Lord, for you, Sister Sandi. I always look forward to the releases of God, through you. I have chosen to wait patiently for God’s timing, with one main desire that Yeshua, be glorified in and through me.
Thank you my brother Gary for sending an encouraging word of how God spoke to you. I am grateful. May HE truly be glorified in and through you as you serve Him in these difficult times our world is going through. In His everlasting Love, Sandi
This is so good my friend and so many nuggets to glean from. Glad you had a great time much deserving for you and Gerry. We are in the hour where we must show love and humility and the peace of the LORD, a peace that surpasses all understanding where people will see and be drawn and want what we have. Hugs Pamie
Hello, my friend, Pamie..we are truly in that hour where love, humility and peace are our portion as we yield to his peace and deeper understanding. Trusting HIM with all my heart as well that people will be drawn to the deep wells of living water for healing, cleansing and restoration. In His everlasting Love, Sandi
Dear Sandi,
How a beautiful meal and wonderful fellowship can bright up our day and days even…! In my minds eye I could see you all there….
We have been through hard weeks too, as my husband had to be rushed into hospital in October with irregulrities in his hearbeat. More stents were set. He finally came home but another procedure was necessary weeks later which took 4 hours.“ I was glad to hear then that all went well. After that his upper leg was swollen and bruised so it seemed dangerous and he went to the doctor. Heparin should help!…Time for the many miracles expected!….
This morning.when I sat at our breakfast table, i heard the Lord say: „Appointed time! You thought I would have forgotten you.“
This gives me hope that Restitution and change for us in this year as prophesied by so many, is not lost!
Good evening, dear Dorothea, so glad I was able to describe it is a real living way that you could see me there because it was so real and so full of love and compassion. I absolutely felt the goodness and love flowing in a very tangible way from that pastor. Thanks for sharing about your hubby and his heart. I will join you daily is praying for the miraculous healing. I am so happy you are receiving hope for restitution ad change. God is Faithful. Please keep me posted re: your husband. In His everlasting Love, Sandi
Lovely..thank you.
Dear dear Sis, your thankful heart always speaks love. You are a blessing. In His everlasting Love, Sandi
A beautiful experience Sandi. The heart of the Lord sending healing and grace just where you need it. We are praying for you.
I saw a recent teaching by Bobby Schuller on the real church and the harlot church. We think of the fake church as tradition and pretense but he was shown the harlot church is actually a lot of people thinking they are church and even spirit filled but not knowing God’s heart and shining with His glory. It is worth to see yourself. You said in a recent post to wait on God in this hour and that is the only way any of us will be true church and not fake, shining with His light to carry people to the foot of the cross for surrender.
I am forever grateful, dear Beata, for your prayers. Now that will preach: the real church and he harlot church. Thanks for sharing that….what a true revelation! Indeed, waiting on the Lord is the only WAY to walk in TRUTH now or really ever! For He is LIFE to those who find Him. In His everlasting Love, Sandi
