A Time to Take a Firm Stand!
For days now, morning by morning, as The One Whose Love never fails, has been saying to me, “As you take a long hard look at what I have shown you over the last six months and pause to take a hard look at the great separation that has taken place in many areas and especially in The Church and The Called Out Ones!”
It has been a time of testing, trying, shaking and breaking, to watch and see those who are still STANDING and are willing to WITHSTAND in the midst of contention, deceptive witchcraft that is attempting to destroy the world.
The LORD spoke plainly, “Daughter, this is a time like no other to take a Firm Stand for Freedom and Liberty and Justice for all.
It is a time when I AM shining My bright Light into every area of deception and revealing Truth at every level of government and relationships.
I AM uncovering every thing that has been buried and releasing those who have been bound and have lost hope for Deliverance.
Yes, I say to you, it is Stand and Withstand, Connect and Disconnect time for new beginnings are now in focus.
Your new beginning in the eighth (8th) month shall produce fruit that remains in the ninth (9th) month of September.
Even as the leaves begin to change color and fall, so shall My People change with new Vision that allows old things to fall away and soon be forgotten, for I AM The God of the Second Chance.
I say to those who are waiting and listening, I AM calling you to work with Me.
As you open your mouth and use your Authority, you will begin to see the Angel Armies surrounding you and you will know I have clothed you with garments of victory.
A new Resolution is coming down from Heaven in this crucial Hour of Reformation.
As you take up the Fight for Freedom, hold your ground, for the great shaking, shifting, and showdown time is releasing Heaven’s New Resolution to arrest the witchcraft and demolish the spirit of Leviathan that is hard at work to twist truth and create chaos,” says The LORD.
“I AM the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last and I shall carry out My Word for the Nations of the world.
Beloved, write this Word on the tablet of your heart, “The Truth is the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth or it is not the Truth at all.”
Never forget, I AM the great I AM. I AM The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
The Truth will stand when all else fails!
But I say to you, “Stand firm, stand true, and withstand all for I have instructed you in My WORD,” (Ephesians 6:10-14).
“Put on the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST the wiles of the devil.
For you wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore!
When you stand or take a stand, beloved, you are taking a position that you are prepared for and well able to HOLD.
When you WITHSTAND, you are resisting and HOLDING OUT against something and reinforcing your STAND.
There is a time to STAND and not run for we are firmly taking a FAITH stand established by the power of the BLOOD OF JESUS and NO weapon formed against us can win.
Faith is the substance of things HOPED for — and I AM releasing abundant HOPE to those who gave up in the last season of despair.
I AM the HOPE that leads to fulfillment of those things you only dreamed of and never expected to see.
I AM The One Who gives the dreams — and I AM the one who brings them to pass.
So look up, your redemption draws nigh,” says The LORD God of all the earth.
“Even as the enemy challenges your faith by continuing to send fiery darts of deception, knowing that he has no legal right and was defeated at Calvary.
You are the mighty victor!
So Beloved, I AM challenging you this day to rise up and call his bluff!
You are marked with The Blood of The Lamb and your Shield of Faith is more than enough!
I say to you again, the enemy may huff and puff but he cannot blow MY HOUSE down,” says The LORD of all.
I have often found that The LORD has to shake up our perspectives and give understanding to our true foundations.
He shakes us to our foundations to free us of things that have bound us and also and push the reset button as He aligns us with His Truth:
“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ”. 1 Corinthians 3:11.
The enemy may send pain or loss into your life, but The LORD will not allow you to be broken if you are standing on the true foundation of Jesus Christ.
I heard an intercessor once say to me, “HE is the legs that I stand on….”
Now is The Hour when we are set apart with a new direction.
The LORD is lifting us up higher to see from His Vantage Point and have the advantage.
Without His Perspective, we are just beating the air, going nowhere.
The Word of God plainly says,
“I have given you AUTHORITY to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome ALL the power of the enemy: nothing will harm you,” Luke 10:19.
So what part of ALL do we fail to understand?
He says what HE means and HE means what HE says.
This truth is the very foundation of our Faith. HE is all POWER and we have HIS GOD given AUTHORITY. NOTHING means just that: NO THING!
This moment of time in our land, I hear The LORD say, “Restoration is needed at the foundation level for America.
It is time to Rebuild, Restore and Replenish all that is needed.
You are well able to Rebuild the Walls of the heart of this country!”
The WORD of GOD is known as The Sword of The Spirit.
In Ephesians 6 we are told to be watchful and persevere as we pray and make supplication.
We must submit ourselves unto The LORD, close every door to sin, rebellion, disobedience and FEAR.
We must let His Mind be in us as we speak and pray His Word in FAITH, BELIEVING, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but MIGHTY.
Our God-given AUTHORITY is Key
We must be properly aligned with God and His established system of His Authority as He has spoken to us in Ephesians 6 as I have spelled out previously.
It states that we wrestle with principalities and powers. It is not wise to confront these wicked powers in the Second heaven unless The LORD himself directs you to do so.
Stay within your area of anointing and God given authority.
Use Your Authority With Holy Boldness
There is great power in AGREEMENT as we come together in prayer AS ONE. We are not lone warriors. His Word says,
“Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven,” Matthew 18:18-19.
This is your sure Word etched in stone.
I give you fair warning that as we Pray the Power of Agreement, we must guard our hearts against division, unforgiveness, and strife that will nullify our Power of Agreement.
I have prayed with many who desire GOD’S Will, but seem uncertain as to what that means.
I would exhort you to dig into The Word of God in each time of prayer to find ‘for this is The Will of God’ and pray accordingly.
There is much to be said about His Will.
It is truly essential to discern what His Will is.
Let me be clear lest we fall into double-mindedness as in the first chapter of James.
Check out the scriptures in Colossians 1:9-10, Romans 8:28-29 to name a few.
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of The LORD, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,” Colossians 1:9-10.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren,” Romans 8:28-29.

Great Words from our God, to be applied with confidence for a firm foundation.
Love your thoughts.
Blessings peace and love to you dear Sandi.
Good evening, my sweet friend, Jennifer. Our firm foundation is indeed our confidence! We are standing together. United we stand, divided we fall!Sending GRACE, MERCY, BLESSINGS AND MUCH LOVE, Sandi
Thank you so much for your blessings and love my dear friend Sandi. I needed to hear that. It has been some of those times, but we press forward.
Jennifer, we have GOT THIS! Because, my friend..HE has GOT US! WE are One! Pressure from the enemy only causes us to PRESS ON in the Spirit as He leads us into the LIGHT!! xoxo Sandi
Amen.
And together dear Sis, we are powerful. In His unfailing Love, my friend, Sandi
Sandi when you said “He says what HE means and HE means what HE says.” Our God CANNOT lie and hell cannot win! This was so good and thank you for your obedience my friend. Love and hugs Pamie
Good Evening, my obedient friend Pamie! You are welcome and the truth is His truth is being sent in this hour with the fire of HIS love. I keep feeling it when I listen and pen what HE is speaking. I know it is for all of us. In His love, I send hugs also, Sandi
Once again you deliver a powerful word. So much to think on and pray and study.
On a different topic, Mary is so right. Your messages are oftentimes confirmed by similar words from other prophets but the style and authority of your messages is totally different. Like some days back when you gave a message on focus. I heard 2 others similar but they both gave a lot of time on the armed forces aspect while you concentrate on the heart of the Lord in this hour. Prophecy from someone with so yielded heart is a rare perfume and carries so much authority.
Dear Beata, your words ‘while you concentrate on the heart of the Lord in this hour. Prophecy from someone with so yielded heart is a rare perfume and carries so much authority’ liter=rally had me in tears. I so desire to hear HIS heart and yield my heart and share only how He desires our response to be…especially re: our authority as we walk in holiness, forgiveness, and love. I am very humbled by your message to me. May His power arise in your heart with great boldness as you take down every lie the enemy sends. In His Love, Sandi
Dear Sandi,
I look forward to reading your posts. There is always so much to dive into. I read your posts over again and journal your thoughts with your name and the date. Then I can go back and read over again what Our Lord has said to you.
Thank you for your words today and God Bless you ❤️
Greetings, dear Mary, Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I am forever grateful to hear you witness and receive the word of the Lord. You know, I also, find that when the Holy Spirit speaks to me like you mentioned, I go and re-read and meditate on the parts of His word that spoke to me personally and that is when it is truly written on my heart. With a full heart of thanksgiving, I receive your love and blessing! In His love, Sandi
