Silence in the Golden Age!
The LORD is saying to His chosen, “I AM on time!
The big issue that has been settled on your heart that has brought fear and dismay is about to be turned around with no more delay.
Always remember, just trust Me in the now and praise Me in advance!”
No looking back at who you once were, because God is about to create someone you have never been. Turnaround is here! Promotion is at the door! Prayers are being answered!
But good and evil are still “at it” so let’s take some time to take up these weapons of our warfare: Choose your words wisely, silence is golden.
Take up the shield of faith, and The Sword of The LORD will cut through the enemy’s plan.
“I AM speaking divine alignment in your relationships and appointments.
You shall align in your spirit and soul by knowing agreement and how to agree to disagree without strife.
For when you allow strife, you have opened the door to every evil work. Be wise!
Know when to speak and when to be silent. When you pray, be careful not to nullify your prayers with your negative words later.
I say to My Chosen especially, the words of your mouth speaks life or death.
When you pray The Word of God which brings life, take care to watch what you say about the situation later.
Continue to declare the life and the truth of what you desire.
If you cannot speak life, be silent! Be silent if you don’t know the whole story.
Every has a story but we seldom are privy to the whole story. Any time that you are experiencing emotional issues, be silent.
It is wisdom to gain control of our emotional responses by just not responding. The one time when we are out of control emotionally is if we are angry.
Be silent at all times when your response is anger!”
I recently had an an occasion to speak my mind in a conversation with someone about their dire situation.
She had been my friend for many years and The LORD stopped me by speaking deeply into my heart.
He said, “You are about to destroy a friendship that has weathered many storms with you, be still and be silent or you will destroy in one minute what has survived many years.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child but I have taught you discipline!
Yes, daughter, you have told me often how painful discipline is and I have taught you, ‘Discipline is painful at the moment of choice — but later it produces a transformation of character that is necessary to bear the fruit of righteousness.’ ” (Hebrews 12:11).
Also, think about this!
If and when you find you have a difference of opinion or tend to be stirred up with what someone is saying, be careful not to yell or raise your voice.
Just give yourself a moment of silence before engaging. Smile and remember it can be the pause that refreshes.
What does that mean? Simply put, it washes away the issue with the living water of truth that brings clarity of vision, and a fresh viewpoint from the ‘only wise God who lives in you’.
Beloved, we are living in a time when discipline is so needed to guard our hearts in these times of chaos that are causing people to fall in the trap of judgement.
So when you are unsure or lack knowledge, choose to be silent. Remember, that friend may just need someone to listen and say nothing.
My Nana used to say they need to vent! Just be a good listener.
You must give honor and show that you value the bond God has given you at all costs.
It cost nothing to prefer someone else but it pays dividend in the end. It is the working of character in us but the gift of selfless love to the person.
And I learned long ago to cherish and value trust.
Never betray a trust — especially if they share with you in confidence! That is the mark of a true friend.
Many have experienced so great pain in this last season. The enemy has thrown every ‘so called trick’ he could dig up to cause the troops, the mighty valiant chosen warriors of God to give in, give up and be defeated by their pain and losses but God is saying to us in this time.
Chosen Ones — don’t let your PAIN deter you from your PURPOSE that God has for your life.
My prayer for you is that you recognize there is something Greater in you than you see… LIVE on PURPOSE!
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is achieving for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory; So, beloved, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:17.
“I have stepped down today to call to your remembrance these some things in a time the world labels as ‘critical’.
I have written “Eternity” on your heart.
I AM painting you a portrait of what I have been imparting to your heart in past times of preparation.
I AM coloring your world with the brilliance and beauty of My Goodness and Holiness.
Have I not told you you shall be glad? Yes!
I AM filling your heart with gratitude and gladness. The joy in your heart will explode with new hope in this time.
My People will dance and sing a song of gladness that will be known throughout eternity of a true JOYFUL NOISE.
Indeed, I AM bringing you to a moment of examining your heart,” says the only one who knows our heart.
There is a time to speak and a time to be silent.
The world shall soon experience Holiness unto The LORD in the midst of all of their ungodliness.
“Don’t worry about anything, Instead, pray about everything.” Philippians 4:6.
“When I AM silent, I must listen to what The Father says.
I become silent when My Spirit stops Me before I speak and says, “WAIT!! Just listen.
There are times to speak and times to be silent… this is not a time to speak… but a time to gain Wisdom, a time to be Disciplined, a time to trust Me — because I AM all-knowing and I see the whole story.
I see the heart and I AM getting to the heart of the matter.
I AM uncovering and recovering.
I AM renewing and reviewing.
I AM releasing the truth for the whole world in this time of great disillusionment, deception and destruction.
I AM rebuilding and creating the NEW DAY, for I AM the beginning and the end.
I AM the first and the last,” says The LORD GOD.

Wow, wahat a wonderful surprise, David. I heard from 3 Davids today. I think there is a message in that for me..David was surely a man after God’s heart and all of you 3 also fit that description. So.I receive with a grateful hearts your word to me of persistence and sincerity, sir, that is my deep desire. Loved,”when the Lord will place in your hands his pen, the nib of which is saturated with the living inspiration of God, and release like a spring the flow of his words of encouragement and wisdom.” Your words flow like sweet honey and I feel so full of joy that the Lord spoke that to you for me, mighty man of God. I want to be found a faithful scribe and I receive your blessing with a humble heart, In His love to you for your faithful walk and heart that flows from the heart of God, Sandi
Awesome..thank you..
My sweet friend, Sis, I am grateful for your appreciation. Thank you so much. In His Love. Sandi
Oh can I relate and when the Lord said “I AM bringing you to a moment of examining your heart,” This is what I ask all the time and when He shows me I’m like wow Lord I am so sorry and the correction is painful but so worth it. What a great word from the One who holds our heart. Hugs my friend, Pamie
Good afternoon, Pamie, so true.it is all about the heart..that seems like I am singing the same song to HIM too every day. However, He said we don’t know our heart so He reveals so He can show us good or evil, right or wrong. Only way we can truly keep our heart with all diligence, right? Hugs for this new day, Sandi
Surely this is wisdom of the ages! Thank you so much, Sandi. Sharing my sister and friend. ❤️
Thank you so much, my dear sister, Joyce, I appreciate your agreement and sharing. To have wisdom is my great desire. In His Love. Sandi
Thank you Sandi for great wisdom from our Lord in these very difficult times of chaos. I agree with you about being careful not to loose a relationship by speaking words at the wrong time. I also feel i made a mistake with a friend of mine who told me our coutry will be great again and I responded the only way that can happen is through repentance of sin and then the Lord will move and I dont think she accepted that. I hope the Lord gives me all the wisdom I need to be silent when needed. Thanks for your beautiful heart. Blessings to you and yours!!!
MF, I so appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much. You know, sometimes the best answer we can give to truth that also has a condition is to speak it in love and trust God with the response. If you feel it was a mistake, just go to the Lord and ask for forgiveness and restoration of trust in your friendship. There is much power in forgiveness and also in speaking the truth in love. I stand in agreement with you that all is well with the incident. In His Love, Sandi
Thank you Sandi for your prayers they are much appreciated. I did ask the Lord to forgive me if I made a mistake. Blessings!!!
There is so much going on MF and you are always quick to repent but sometimes we who are always talking to HIM about the situations in this moment by moment changing world, HE is right there helping you see clearly and work through it so remember, HE sees your heart and knows it so well. I am sorry if I led you in the wrong way, what I also was saying was IF you were a bit indecisive or ‘weighing everything in the balance’, always be comforted that HE knows you well and sees you heart of a moment of “not sure”. You have a very tender heart and He knows we have those moments! xoxo Sandi
Sometimes sister long intervals of silence are in preparation for a shout of victory so loud it will be heard in all the earth.
This may be one of those times. We will see. Some times it takes a loud sound to bring down the wall of unbelief.
My friend, David, I am always ready for your wisdom. LOVED, “Sometimes sister long intervals of silence are in preparation for a shout of victory so loud it will be heard in all the earth.” I believe this truly is one of those times. I also cannot recall any time in my life that compares to the need for wisdom more than this very moment in time. I need great grace. I will remember “Some times it takes a loud sound to bring down the wall of unbelief.” GOOD ONE, that is a keeper, my dear brother. It is always good to hear back from you. In His Love, Sandi
Amen
How wonderful it is to see AMEN, Sherry. I thank you so much for the power of two. So be it, dear one. In His Love, Sandi
A true yet right on word. Learning myself stay silent when things not going well. Learning also when to speak is to speak his holy word and it powerful. Thanks Sister for anointed word. Silence is golden especially when u are deaf anyway u learn to listen to the spirit
Gratias, dear David. I totally stand in agreement that it is truly a learning experience as we learn to listen deeply and lean in to the sound of HIS voice when He is teaching us to be still and be silent at times. Wisdom is taught by the only wise God. Thanks for sharing In His Love, Sandi
Dear Sandi. Thank you for your persistent and sincere waiting for the moment when the Lord will place in your hands his pen, the nib of which is saturated with the living inspiration of God, and release like a spring the flow of his words of encouragement and wisdom. God always works in the right time and this word comes in God’s exact timing for many who need to hear it. Thank you for the encouragement to have constant, true trust in the Lord himself, who never fails. How many times are we under pressure to put our faith aside and try to solve the given matter with our own strength, thank you that you are God’s faithful scribe and with this word, through the power of the Lord, you encourage the hearts of many whose faith has been broken. God bless you mightily.
