Learning to Listen!
Just as I was getting ready to go to bed tonight, The LORD spoke to me.
He said, “In this Season with all of the Spiritual Warfare taking place, I AM advising you to finish the Year 2025 in Listening more than Praying!
Listening is a quietening of the soul. Right Prayer requires a quietening of the whole being,” said The LORD.
“It is in the silent moments that your mind, will, and emotions are being trained to be still and submit to your spirit.
You have entered a time when each of My Chosen Ones who know Me and are My Disciples, need specific instructions!”
In a Prayer Class with Dick Eastman (Change the World School of Prayer) long ago, someone said it is in the quiet moments that God reveals tangible ideas.
When your mind is still, is when The Creator reveals creative thoughts to the listener.
Beloved, looking back in Scripture, King David experienced Creative Prayer when God gave him the pattern for The Temple in ancient times. His instructions to David were very specific and because of this, David wrote them down…..
“”All this,” David said, ‘The LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of the pattern,” 1 Chronicles 28:19.
I always loved the example God gave Jeremiah when He said call upon me.
Actually He told him he would respond with specifics.
“Call upon me and I will show thee…..” Jeremiah 33:3a.
It is in these times of specific Prayers that we learn ‘The Secrets of God’.
As I shared these truths, The LORD spoke clearly, “In these end-times, it is urgent to draw near to Me, for I have many things to tell you to prepare your hearts for what lies ahead.
I have told you in My Word to meditate on My Word.
I AM ready to reveal many things for you to contemplate on, think about and consider with wisdom to guard your hearts against fear and sudden changes that are coming soon.
Listening is essential to being still and knowing that I AM God and as you meditate on the things I have done, your Faith will arise and just like David, you will learn to wait only upon your God, for I AM filling your heart with expectation and hope for tomorrow!” says The LORD God.
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for.
Beloved, embrace this truth for your faith shall make you whole.
I AM ready and waiting to take My People on an adventure as you trust Me.
Hope looks to the future — but Trust operates in the present.
Faith is simply believing in your God and trusting.
Every man has been given a measure of Faith.”
I was in a Prayer Training Class one time and the instructor gave an example I have never forgotten.
He said, God is waiting for us to exercise Faith — when no answer is in view!
For example, when we pray for rain, we should get our umbrellas ready.
Whatever we pray for, act on it, prepare for the answer.
If we pray for someone’s Salvation, get them a Bible and be ready to give it to them, because they will need it now.
So, as you live by Faith, walk by Faith and trust God!
Satan will always come with a faith killer. He tempts you with human reasoning.
Reasoning requires that everything be explained or figured out logically.
Never say, “I hope it all works out for you…..” as you finish your prayer. You have just entered into unbelief.
Hope has no place in present-tense prayers!
Hope is important because it looks ahead for blessings or rewards — but Faith is believing, not hoping!
Someone once said, (I do not remember who) that Faith is like electricity, it is always there, waiting to be used, but until you plug into it, there is no power.
Faith is the power waiting to be tapped into.
Remember, the Just shall live by Faith is a Truth to be tapped into.
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”” Romans 1:17 NKJV.
“Now the just shall live by faith. But if anyone draws back. My soul has no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38 NKJV.
“Beloved, listen, wait, and obey quickly for this is a time to trust and obey like no other.
I AM not a God that I should lie. Be still, and listen for I have much to tell you.
Draw near and trust with all your heart,” says The LORD, “for I have much to share with my loved ones!”

Amen sister Sandi! Great advice and wisdom.
Thanks so much for your encouraging comment, brother Farley. I receive your agreement. In His Love, Sandi
Sandi, I could not agree more. This is exactly what is needed for every individual Christian in these end times. We are not here to “figure out” our every move. We are here to hear. “My sheep know my voice.” Thanks for this vitally important message!
Thank you, Gerry. So glad we don’t have to figure it out…In His Love, Sandi
So true Sandi, and our TRUST holds it all together. In His Love, blessings.
Yes, Jennifer, it is a sobering time when we must set our heart to listen and obey and trust HIM alone with all of our heart! In His everlasting love, my friend, Sandi
Excellent word, Sandi! Spot on in this amazing season we are in! Hope you are feeling well! Lord bless you! ❤️
Marietta I so appreciate you agreement. I am feeling much better, Thanks for your prayers, In His everlasting love, Sandi
Sandi all I can say is WOW such confirmation for me. He has told me lately “Be still and know I am God” And I know the quieter I am the more He talks. Thank you for your obedience to the one who holds our heart. Hugs Pamie
All glory be to God, dear Pamie. Confirmation is good and it is so good that the quieter we are , the more HE talks. It is my joy to trust and obey as best as I can. In His everlasting love, Sandi
Awesome.
