Our Times Are In His Hands!
God has a time and season for everything!
The longer I serve Him, the more He makes me aware that there is a time and season for everything.
And Beloved, this very morning, The LORD said, “…. and in this present time, there is a special place to carry out My Orders to you!”
He also spoke to me a few days ago very clearly, “Daughter, In these times, pause and allow Me to show you areas in your life where you definitely need a heart change in order to embrace the great awakening that has already begun in these end times!”
Truly, we have reached a tipping point of real changes, and in many major areas, we have already crossed over into what we may look back on as a ‘brand new start’.
“I have stepped in and given My People an opportunity to allow Me to show them their hearts, in order to bring correction, healing, and many needed changes that are necessary in order to carry My Heart to a lost and dying world.
Many new challenges are on the horizon as you step into the reality of your true identity in this hour.
First, always remember, I AM here for you.
I AM your consolation, your everlasting help as you identify with your call and your gift.
This is your set time to change the way you see things.
I AM bringing new challenges almost daily for my people to believe the unthinkable and imagine what you once saw as impossible.
I have interrupted your world to allow you to grow deeper into your identity.
You must no longer see things as they appear or as they are but you shall now see them as YOU are.
Stop and regroup, ask yourself, “Do I really understand? Am I walking in my true identity and call?”
The enemy came to dis-appoint you from your appointed Destiny and sever you from walking in Unity and Faith.
Come now, hear My Word to you!
I AM pulling out all the stops from the last Season and I AM removing all the delays.
I AM purifying your purpose.
I AM connecting you to the unfamiliar and new relationships needed as you move forward to your appointed times by My Power and The Sovereignty of My Hand!
So know this: your vision was given and though it has not yet been fulfilled as the power of two in agreement, hold tight to my unchanging hand in spite of the escalating fear and turmoil in the world around you.
You are in the world, but not of the world. You are Mine — and I AM an on-time God!
Daughter, My predetermined ‘Appointed Times’ are on the horizon, and My Mercy shall continue to be woven together with my compassion for my people and their failed hopes.
It shall come to pass even as I have spoken.
The power of two in agreement shall be carried out as I pour out My Spirit afresh and hearts are changed to embrace the spirit and release the flesh.
In these last days, I will reveal startling signs and wonders and miracles on the earth as I pour out My Spirit on all flesh.
The young men shall dream new dreams and the old shall be renewed as in their youth to dream again.
Watch and see. It shall come to pass just as I promised in My Appointed Time,” says The LORD God.
Whatever your Vision, whatever your Dream or Hope for the future, Beloved, there will be an Appointed Time when that which God spoke, will come to pass!
For when He said write the vision, He also appointed a time!
“And The LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:2-3 KJV.
As I have sought The LORD regarding some yet unanswered prayers, He led me back to a teaching I had long ago that came from a poem based on 1 Kings 12:24.
“Thus says The LORD: “You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel. Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from Me. Therefore they obeyed the word of The LORD, and turned back, according to the word of The LORD.” 1 Kings 12:24.
It seems so appropriate for the season we are now in.
“This Thing is From Me!” by Laura A. Barter Snow
“The disappointments of life are in reality only the decrees of love. I have a message for you today, my child.
I will whisper it softly in your ear, in order that the storm clouds which appear may be gilt with glory, and that the thorns on which you may have to walk be blunted.
The message is but short — a tiny sentence — but allow it to sink into the depths of your heart; and be to you as a cushion on which to rest your weary head: “This thing is from Me!”
“Have you never thought that all which concerns you, concerns Me also?
“He that touches you touches the centre of My eye” Zechariah 2:8.
You have been precious in My eyes; that is why I take a special interest in your upbringing.
When temptation assails you, and the “enemy comes in like a flood”, I would wish you to know that, “This thing is from Me!”
I AM the God of circumstances. You have not been placed where you are by chance, but because it is the place I have chosen for you.
Did you not ask to become humble?
See, I have placed you in the very place where this lesson is to be learned. It is by your surroundings and your companions that the workings of My Will is to come about.
Have you money difficulties? Is it hard to keep within your income?
This thing is from Me! For I AM He who possesses all things.
I wish you to draw everything from Me, and that you depend entirely upon Me.
My riches are limitless (Philippians 4:19).
Put My Promise to the test, so that it may not be said of you, “In this thing you did not believe The LORD your God” (Deuteronomy 1:32).
Are you passing through a night of affliction?
“This thing is from Me!”
I AM the Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3).
I have left you without human support that in turning to Me you might obtain eternal consolation (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).
Has some friend disappointed you?
One to whom you had opened your heart?
“This thing is from Me!”
I have allowed this disappointment to come, that you may learn that the best friend is Jesus.
He preserves us from falling, fights for us in our combats; yes, the best Friend is Jesus. I long to be your confidant.
Has someone said false things of you?
Leave that, and come closer to Me, under My wings, away from the place of wordy dispute, for I will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday (Psalm 37:6).
Have your plans been all upset?
Are you crushed and weary?
“This thing is from Me!”
Have you made plans and then came [and] asked Me to bless them?
I wish to make your plans for you. I will take the responsibility, for it is too heavy for you, you could not perform it alone (Exodus 18:18).
You are but an instrument and not an agent.
Have you desired fervently to do some great work for Me? Instead of that you have been laid aside, on a bed of sickness and suffering.
“This thing is from Me!”
I was unable to attract your attention while you were so active. I wish to teach you some of My deep lessons.
It is only those who have learned to wait patiently who can serve Me. My greatest workers are sometimes those who are laid aside from active service in order that they may learn to wield the weapon of prayer.
Are you suddenly called to occupy a difficult position full of responsibilities?
Go forward, counting on Me.
I AM giving you the position full of difficulties for the reason that Jehovah, your God, will bless you in all your works, and in all the business of your hands (Deuteronomy 15.18).
This day I place in your hand a pot of holy oil.
Draw from it freely, My child, that all the circumstances arising along the pathway, each word that gives you pain, each interruption trying to your patience, each manifestation of your feebleness, may be anointed with this oil.
Remember that interruptions are divine instructions. The sting will go [away] in the measure in which you see Me in all things.
Therefore set your heart to all the works that I testify among you this day. For it is your life!” (Deuteronomy 32.46-47)
May we all rise to the challenges set before us as appointed servants of The LORD knowing we were chosen for such a time as this.
He said,
“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain.” John 15:16 KJV “

Hallelujah
God richly bless you..dear Sis.i say Amen
So be it!!
Blessings my beautiful sister and friend. Thank you for sharing these most impactful words from the Lord! Loved:
“I AM your consolation, your everlasting help as you identify with your call and your gift. This is your set time to change the way you see things.” We must truly be transformed by the renewing of our minds daily! We are in a brand new day, a new season to encourage others but also receive encouragement! There is No place to falter or fall, no matter how ruff it gets for us all. Our All seeing God is taking us deeper into His beloved heart. He is the lifter up of our heads even and will not fail us ever. Praise the Lord! ❤️
My sister and friend, Joyce, I am so grateful for our powerful agreement. Two in agreement can accomplish so much in the Kingdom. It is so good to walk together as ONE, I receive your blessings and love, Sandi
I can most definitely relate with this word. Our God is cleansing and purifying His people to go deeper and higher in Him but we have to be willing to go through the process. I told the LORD yesterday it is an heart issue, trials reveal the heart, I asked Him take from me everything that is of this world and help me to have more compassion with people and help me to be a good listener and not to judge, to just pray for them. This time of consecration has been the hardest but I am willing and Father knows that. There is always a cost but it is worth it in the end. Hugs Pamie
Dear Pamie, Indeed, you have spoken it so well: Bottom line is ‘there is always a cost but it is worth it in the end’. YES!!! Hugs back to you, my friend, In His love, Sandi
Sandi, What a Word from our God! Such an Awesome Word for the time that we are in. All so true – this I’ve been going through .
A few days ago, I said “This is the Lord’s doing”. It’s so cut to the core – takes it’s highest form. Yet still a Firmer Foundation of who He is in our lives and parts we have now come to let Him play, that we may bear fruit, and that our fruit will remain. It was surely an interruption, for we are His and He is ours.
The Word to us today is so beautifully packed. “This is your set time to change the way you see things. It is only those who have learned to wait patiently who can serve Me”, and SO MUCH MORE.
We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us for the Call on our lives.
Blessings peace and love to you and yours dear Sandi.
Dear Jennifer,my friendm, you spoke it so succinctly that this is the Lord’s doing and what a time of massive changes In His Goodness, HE is enabling us to see things through HIS EYES! It is our time to change the way we see things and allow our vision to be enlarged for these end times. In His love, Sandi
Dear Sandi,
There is so much of your word from the Lord today to take in and to reflect on the importance of what He is telling us what we must do. I know from experience that I have an amazing day when I invite Him to take over and follow His guidance. Like many, I always need reminding that He invites me to seek Him first about everything.
Thank you so much for sharing our Lord’s Word and being a confirmation of how much He loves each of us. ❤️ God Bless you!
You are so welcome, dear Mary. HE is the only one who sees it all as it truly is and HE is opening our eyes to see as HE sees and embrace the new day through His leading. I am delighted that it was a confirmation to you and a definite expression on His love and guidance. In His love, Sandi
Dear Sandi. I rejoice that you have so newly grasped the scribe’s pen that the Lord placed in your palm when the Lord’s quiet whisper so freshly blew into your heart, you have thus released the precious words of encouragement to transform our hearts, the hearts of His loved ones, and lift up what has remained lying in the dust and has been put aside because of the disappointment of the last season. Thank you for your precious heart that despite the confusion the enemy unleashes and his bad news, you stand firm with the Lord on the ramparts in the heights of His heart and receive new radiance and fresh vision from the Lord along with understanding and deep wisdom. God bless you mightily.
Dear David, so good to hear from you. I have not been on for a while. I love the way you spoke:”I rejoice that you have so newly grasped the scribe’s pen that the Lord placed in your palm when the Lord’s quiet whisper so freshly blew into your heart, you have thus released the precious words of encouragement to transform our hearts,” thank you so much. I am delighted that it spoke to you. I was also thrilled that HE enlightened me in a time of much despair. God richly bless you, my brother. In His love, Sandi
