A True Time of Closure
As I come before Your Presence LORD, in humble adoration, Your Glory — like the ocean — seeps over my soul.
I am so hungry for an audience with my King in The Throne Room.
I have come to Worship You in the beauty of Your Holiness.
I ask that you transform my life with your gentle Grace and I thank you for Your Mercy that is new every morning.
I truly enter into Your Gates with Thanksgiving and into Your Courts with Praise!
As I entered into Prayer today, I had a conversation with The LORD about STRESS — which I knew was causing much inflammation in my body.
I heard The LORD say, “Sometimes the bravest and wisest thing you can do is to stop trying to fix what keeps breaking you and causing you stress.
Even though I have given My People a great capacity for resilience, in order to step out of self preservation and make a conscious decision to move forward, you must let go of your soulish responses and move forward in the spirit.
Many times, the bravest thing you can do is to recognize when a situation, a relationship, or a pattern of behavior is damaging and give up every effort to mind or fix it.
Holding onto something that is constantly and consistently causing hurt is actually a form of self-inflicted suffering that is draining your energy and stifling your growth,” said The LORD God.
“Yesterday is gone! This is a New Day!
You can choose to rehearse the problem — or you can speak forth The TRUTH from My Word in Faith, that will carry you forth in Victory!”
I have been counseling recently with a couple of people off and on, and The LORD spoke so softly to me today, “Daughter, give My People this Message of HOPE today!
You have entered a new time of CLOSURE. As you close the doors to yesterday, and look up, your redemption is NOW.
I AM giving My People courage to let go — to accept that some things are beyond repair — and it is the hour to move out of waiting and fixing and step into your True Identity and gifts!
I AM opening your eyes to true self awareness and compassion that will cultivate an unwavering commitment to the call in these difficult worldly times to teach other how to receive My Grace, and be transformed to step into their rightful place in these end-times, that have been labeled the worst of times and the best of times!
To walk in the Power of God, you must walk in Purity.
When you have differences with others,” says The LORD, “keep short accounts.
Forgive quickly as a act of your obedient will and as you walk forward, not looking back or rehearsing that which cannot be changed, you shall be clothed with a garment of ‘forgetting those things that are behind and stepping into those things that await you in new places with new people.
Hear — the clock ticking….. it is The Midnight Hour and the hour of CLOSURE to yesterday and Joy for what lies ahead.
Embrace My Goodness as the weights of yesterday’s pain are lifted from your shoulders.
Beloved, you are now moving forward in FREEDOM!
Do not fret over the issues of the world. You are in the world, but you are not of the world!
My Prophetic People who have chosen deeper purity in this hour shall begin to see the identity and gifts of others and their potential with a much clearer and deeper understanding.
They will recognize the burden on someone and the pain in a quick moment that lifts the burden as they speak and brings healing to the pain immediately.
Not only will they see the process with clarity — but they will rise to the challenge to send forth the word of The LORD in deeper love and speak only what heaven releases.
Many have actually been very weary at times in the last Season and felt weighed down in the waiting, but The Fire of My Love is cleansing and healing and bringing a refreshing they have longed for.
They must remember what and who they are is a gift and I, The LORD of all, haves trusted them to carry what is given in humility.
Always STOP and CONSIDER another person’s opinion and perspective.
Be careful not to say, ‘I understand’ for truly, you can often relate, but only God understands.”
I leave you with this thought that The LORD has given me over and over:
“Beloved, I exhort you in this moment that we must learn to accept each other right where we are….. each journey is different!
Each experience impacts our personal opinion and will affect how we act, how we respond, and how we relate.”
So with that, The LORD always poses this question to me — “Daughter, have you learned to love yet?”
We must let His mind be in us!
His Wisdom and His Perspective is available and waiting for us to seek!
So pause and consider!
Allow His Light to shine into our hearts that we might walk in the light as He is the Light.
His unfailing Love never changes — but it changes us!!
“This is the life giving message we heard him share and it’s still ringing in our ears. We now repeat His word to you: God is pure light. You will never find even a trace of darkness in him.” 1 John 1:5-7 TPT.

❤️ Patricia
So good to hear from you. So glad you received! It was for me also! Love is truly the KEY! Thanks for posting, m friend. In His Love, Sandi
Lovely, Sandi! We all need to hear this! And the day is quickly approaching that we will be so distracted by His Glory, we will hardly take notice of such things! I’m ready for that day!
May you be filled with peace that passes understanding!♥️

What a joy to see your comment, Marietta. I truly appreciate your input. I agree I believe we all need to come to this moment for many closures! I love your posts. You words from the Lord flow so beautifully and give so many confirmations to what we all as a ‘family’ here on HKP are hearing. Many blessings as you press on. In His Love, Sandi
Sandi another right on time word….I have been going through much pain and anguish with my family that I unjustly take blame for ortry to rescue them in their actions really not to my benefit and it has for years been reoccuring over and over and over again….this time the Lord has said I am to seperate myself from them and let him take over the entire matters..for the time is late for them to change their ways..I am praying intensely for them instead with no contact anymore and letting the past be gone so I can heal and allow the Lord to heal and change them and their actions…..thank you again for this word Sandi it resonates with me
I am grateful, Joannie that His word resonated with you and confirmed to you your decision to let go and allow the Lord to heal and bring change through prayers. I pray now for you to be filled with peace and new understanding as you rise up higher with HIM and be strengthened in this hour for what lies ahead. May the joy of the Lord fill your hear with gladness as you take hold of HIS unchanging hand and allow closure to bring changes and hope for tomorrow. In His Love, Sandi
This word is great from the LORD and when He said “Daughter, have you learned to love yet?” Isn’t this the absolute truth! Thank you for your obedience I really needed to hear this today. Much love my friend, Pamie
I think we all needed to hear it, dear Pamie. That is exactly what I told the Lord as He was speaking to me. Thank you Lord..I needed this today! In His Love, my friend, Sandi
What a beautiful anointed word my friend and sister. Hearing the Fathers heart so very strong in this! It sure helps me and speaks to me. Thank you! Sharing, much love ❤️
And I am so grateful to the Lord, my friend Joyce…I truly believe it is a corporate word that all God’s children needed to hear and even those who have fallen away in the past season, may God reach this with HOPE and bring closure to their battles! We must all embrace His heart! In His love, my sister, Sandi
Wow Sandi, I see this as a Beautiful Word to us. I love this part “you shall be clothed with a garment of ‘forgetting those things that are behind.” An automatic thing when we choose to forgive right away, that even when another party brings up what just happened, it’s not there anymore, another subject takes
it’s place.
It took me a long while to put this one in place:
“Beloved, I exhort you in this moment that we must learn to accept each other right where we are….. each journey is different!”
The Good Lord will always be there for us as our Great Counselor – the wonderful benefits as journey with Him.
Blessings peace and love to you my dear friend Sandi.
Yup happened to me. After a major argument wherein I was physically assaulted but not badly hurt, but cud’ve, the Lord asked me to forgive instantly. I didn’t understand but did so immediately. He said He will deal with it. The person had a very tough week following where weird things would go wrong that normally wouldn’t. Nothing to gloat about but the Lord does take care of His own.
Amen Lee to forgive instantly. It is such a divine comfort to know that the Lord does take care of His own. Thanks so much for sharing. In His Love, Sandi
Jennifer, Thank you for you your very ‘REAL’ input about ‘it took me a long while to put this one in place’..Let’s get real…forgiveness is a choice flat out at first, then God gives us mercy and grace to walk it out until we can say just as Jesus did..Father, forgive them for they KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO! Bingo! Sister, I tell myself and the Lord every day. Lord, I don’t know my heart…please show me my heart. He is the Counselor with all the answers. In His Love, Sandi
exactly the right word for me this morning, Sandy, speaking into a situation that is overshadowed though we had spoken through and cleared the situation. The person distanced himself from us after a year long close fellowship.
It rumors in my mind wether we got it wrong or if we were right in our advise to him….!
Yesterday we met but I noticed a difference…
I know that I still need a love-revelation from the Lord to get to a higher level of love I(and we truly cared for him and he learned a lot, he said)…
It‘s all contained in this word……! Thank you…
Dear Dorothea, He is shining His light and clarifying who is truly real and who isn’t. He is the God of not only the 2nd chance but many chances. I am seeing a difference in many that I was beginning to think would never ‘get it’ although they say they did. Love never fails. I rejoice with you that it was a word you needed. Our God is so on time. In His love, Sandi
Dear Sandi,
I like what the Lord said to you,that sometimes the bravest and wisest thing we can do is to stop trying to fix what keeps breaking you and causing you stress. Powerful words that I have been thinking over ever since I read them. Thank you for sharing your conversations with our Lord and sharing your prayers and your thoughts to encourage us.
God Bless you! ❤️
God bless you Mary as you think on these things that keep causing us stress. It seems that the time we are now living is has been one of the most stressful times in my lifetime when there seems to be a vying for first place and accusations of leaders all across the world. We must indeed listen carefully to the wisdom of the Lord and keep our hearts with all diligence. I appreciate so much your kind words of encouragement to me. In His Love, Sandi
