Where Are You in Your Journey? (Updated)
Preface
As I have been in much prayer for the last few weeks, I have been reflecting on where I am in my journey since I am seeing a few things abruptly coming to an end in this season.
President Trump
As I was praying, I always pray for President Trump.
I said, “LORD, where is he really in his journey?”
The LORD spoke clearly, “President Trump is my David and he has gone through many attacks, trials, and problems in his fight to MAGA.
I have not changed my mind and I did not make a mistake when I chose him.
He is a fighter and He will finish his assignment.
The media and those who never mention the good he has already accomplished will not stop.
Continue to intercede for him.
The spirit of Division is still at work and many who once supported him have turned on him the truth is coming forth in these days before the election.
He loves America and He will continue to restore America’s values and uncover the deception until I release Him.”
The LORD then led me to this word I was given in 2023 regarding where are we in our journey.
The LORD has had me focused on Truth for months now as I read and see so much in the news that is so biased and deceptive.
I personally find myself taking inventory of my values alongside some of the prophetic words I have read lately.
The LORD said, “Tell My People they are at a Crossroads to take an inventory of what they believe and what Truth are they holding onto as so many are vacillating between Truth and Opinions contrary to the whole Truth.
This is a set time to embrace true identity with TRUTH and come to the full knowledge of Truth that produces Life.”
I feel to share the scripture from 2 Timothy 3:1-7 for your revelation and identity of where we are.
Characteristics of the Last Days
“But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce.
People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money.
They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right.
They will ignore their own families.
They will be ungrateful and ungodly.
They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander.
Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.
With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit.
They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.
They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power.
Stay away from people like these! For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin.
They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7.
Where Are You in Your Journey?
10 August 2023
Are you still on your journey for TRUTH?
Where do you see yourself on this venture to know The Truth — and truly be completely set free?
Are your mental pictures of your life composed of conclusions you have drawn based on actual happenings and/or opinions you have formed?
Are you hungry for Truth?
Maybe you have been seeking Truth for some time. There are those who are hungry for Truth and then there are those do something to try to satisfy that hunger.
We have this void that is described as a ‘God-shaped void’ in our heart. However you may identify this void, no matter how you have tried to fill this void, the fact is, man is never truly satisfied until he connects to and communicates with His Creator and Father God.
I hear The LORD say, “Beloved, in this time of deep deception and lies abounding moment by moment, I AM drawing My People closer, and creating a deep hunger for Truth that they may escape the darkness and come to the light.
I have allowed deep darkness in contrast to My bright Light, that My People who have been drawn away, may run to know the whole Truth and be set free from the captivity of the foolishness of the world,” says The Father.
“Know that now is the time of the greatest Reveal of all time. to release Truth, and bring all humanity to see The Light, that they may choose Life and Truth.”
Beloved, we were made for fellowship!
The Word of God says,
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew 5:6
Those who have no hunger for Truth, are spoken of in the Bible as the ones who love darkness more than Light.
Those who recognize something is missing, begin a quest to find answers to what is lacking. Sometimes that quest is never-ending, because the quest for Truth becomes more important than Truth itself.
Pause and think about this….
If we remain in the seeking phase too long, we become identified with those who are “ever learning, but never coming to the full knowledge of Truth,” (2 Timothy 3:7).
These are those who can quote the Bible, talk about Buddha and other religions, but can’t get past a mental apprehension of what they believe.
Sometimes that is due to the fact that they came to the place of facing The Truth — but never actually faced it.
Some decide that the cost of Truth is far too great, or others of us just haven’t come to the place of being honest with ourselves.
“In this crucial time when the world is being fed lies moment by moment, I AM opening the eyes of those who are becoming hungry for Truth, to come unto me and discover who JESUS is, and seek to know The Truth — that The Truth will forever set them free.
I AM bringing them to a Crossroads, to cross over into Truth and Life — or remain where they are.
The world is truly suffering from a calculated indifference to Truth,” says The One who is TRUTH.
So many see success through the lies they have believed. They have “succeeded at being right” but failed at “being real”.
God has given us a power to be real, and I believe He has a right to expect us to live it.
I believe our love for God is no greater than our love for TRUTH.
I often ponder and truly reflect of the many descriptions and names of The LORD, and the one I live by, is “HE is The Way“…
He leads me. He is The Truth. I daily seek His Truth, and ask that it be written on my heart.
And He is The Life — without HIM I would not have Life — I would have no power over sin or death.
As we look at a lost and dying world of people, it is obvious that the world is cut off from The Spirit of Truth and as a result, it is choking to death on the lies they have believed.
The LORD challenged me today. He said, “Daughter, what picture do you have in your mind that is dictating your life?
I AM here to help you. Where do you need change?
I see so many of My Children striving to make things happen, and I have come today to tell you that in order to change, you must submit and bring your will to a place of decision and embrace change.
You can deal with all the externals. You can change your job, your hair, your clothes, and even your house — but I AM the only One Who changes the real you! I AM The Heart Changer!
Just ask Me and I will show you your heart. I will change you from the inside out, not the outside in.
You can change your mind, for I have given you free choice. You can harden your heart, but I AM the only one who can melt your heart — give you a new heart, and change your heart!” says The LORD.
“So always remember, I have given you the capacity for change — but when you come face to face with The Truth, you can’t change your heart!”
Many times I have read the words of Jesus to His Disciples in Matthew 16:13-16,
“Who do men say that I the son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptis, some, Elias, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, “But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God”.
So, I leave you with these thoughts today to ponder.
I truly love Peter in all of his boldness. This proclamation of Truth resonates in my spirit as Revelation, and it quickens me to ask myself:
- WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I AM?
- What does my life portray?
- What message am I sending by my words, deeds, and actions?
- Can others look at my daily walk and know that I am a lover of TRUTH?
- Can they hear me when my heart sings, “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live, not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life that I now live, I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave His life for me.”
WHAT SAY YOU?
I try to daily remind myself to not judge, lest I set a law in motion that comes back on me.
I remind myself that I am the keeper of my heart, and only God can cleanse and change it.
I remind myself to remind myself that my ACTIONS speak LOUDER than my WORDS — but my WORDS NEED TO AGREE with HIS WORD — so that they carry, the Power of His Love and Life!

She later experienced a Divine Encounter with The LORD when He came into her Prayer Room and said, “I have come to put a sword in your hand and was given special instructions on how and when to use it.” Sandi is now an Author, Prophetic Intercessor, Seer, Chaplain, Teacher, Speaker, Counselor, Blogger who has also served as an Online Pastor and an Interim Pastor for a Mennonite Church.
So true Sandi, the news is so biased and deceptive – for that same reason I do not read or listen to them, but vaguely look at headlines and even refused to join in conversation when I hear others who lack understanding of spiritual matters. On the heart matter, I use to ask the Lord to help me to say the right words at all times, and His response was “it is a heart issue, pray for Me to give you My heart and so I did; and today I pray the same for you to our Father, to give you His Heart, in Jesus Name Amen! Thank you for bringing to us a Beautiful Word from our God who loves and understands us so much. Blessings, peace and love dear Sandi.
I appreciate your deep understanding and truth about heart matters and those who express worldly bias. As most know by know, my focus is pretty much on the heart and what the Lord says about our heart, his heart as well as how the world presents ‘the heart of the matter’. Thank you for expressing your gratitude for the word that speaks of ‘all’ our journeys. In His Love, Sandi
We confirm your words. We pray for you and send you many blessings.
Grateful am I, Althea for your prayers and blessings as you confirm the words of the Lord in this hour of our journey of truth. Many blessings to you as well. In His everlasting Love, Sandi
“I AM The Heart Changer!” Isn’t that the truth only He can! Hugs my friend, Pamie
Absolutely true, my friend Pamie. Sometimes, I ask Him to change it over and over. Last week when I did that about the same issue, HE said, I cannot change your heart about that until you are truly willing. The very fact that you keep asking me is proof. So I pondered it until I said, I am willing.
Yes, Sister. John 14:6 “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father but through me.” Praying for spiritual discernment for our leaders, especially our President. The deceptions being thrown at us are so slick, so calibrated, so enticing. But our Lord is the Truth and will prevail. 2 Timothy 2:12 “…Yet I am not ashamed. Because I know who I have believed and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.” Hallelujah! Blessings.
Absolutely, brother Cliff. the deception is truly so calibrated and enticing but as we stand in the gap and pray, the Lord is shining HIS light and revealing TRUTH that will prevail. It has been a time of one day at a time opening eyes and giving discernment and sending the right person to be a guardian as all the pieces of the puzzle come together and begin to fit the timeline of the Lord. God is GOOD. He will finish what HE started with TRUMP. PTL~ Hallelujah. In His Love and blessings, Sandi
Beautiful word..so true.
AMEN, Sis, The TRUTH is coming to light! His TRUTH will prevail. HE is the WORD and the TRUTH of HIS WORD is beautiful beyond description. Our journey of truth and for truth shall continue until all know the TRUTH and are set free! Thank you for your faithfulness as you stand firmly on what HE shows you. In His Love, Sandi
Dear mwilliams. The reality of being real is so powerful I agree..He gives us so much grace as we are ‘becoming’, right? Thank you so much for your transparent input. May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His light to shine upon you! Sandi
Such a beautiful word from someone who has truly been in the refiners fire, being made like into His Glorious image.
This is so much you Sandi, speaking from the heart of the Father !!
Such love, such human compassion in you. I love you my sister and my friend. Thank you for being the real deal. Joyce
❤️
To my friend Joyce, I am overwhelmed with your kind loving words..not sure I measure up to all that …but that truly is my heart to be real and carry His heart with honor and humility. Yes, we have both experienced the refiner’s fire as many I could also name right here on this site…what a joy to be in His fiery furnace …affliction? not fun but knowing His Presence and Healing that was given through sacrifice and crucifixion is wonderful Now I am grateful to call you friend. May God keep us in health and perseverance until we meet on the other side. xoxo Sandi
This was excellent, Sandi. Thank you!
David Murry NY
Thank you so very much David. I truly appreciate you stopping by to give your input and I am so honored it was a heart witness to you. I have been pondering your post for two days off and on and still chewing on the ‘meat’ you sent from the Father’s heart. Thank you for your obedience. Many blessings as you press on, Sandi Holman
Amen. Powerful truths! My take away – “God has given us the power to be real”. To me that speaks to our unique personhood or personality. “They have succeeded in being right, but failed at being real”. My self prayer; Lord help me to be real and right, in the Counsel of Your Word, wrapped in Grace and Truth.
