Faith, Hope and Love
I have been pondering the FAITH walk daily, as I watch food supplies becoming limited; violence in our streets; money becoming a big issue in the natural, as we experience deep inflation and the value of a dollar decrease rapidly.
And yet, the word of GOD says, “The Just shall live by Faith.” (Romans 1:16-17)
As I was Praying and asking The LORD, “How to Pray about these worldly situations, versus The Word of The LORD?”
The LORD said, “Faith will always be tested. That is how it comes into full maturity. My Word plainly says, “Count it all joy when you fall into divers trials; knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience and endurance. So you must let your endurance come to perfection. That is the only way you shall be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.””
As I continued to meditate on the truth of what The LORD was speaking, I began to sense a perfect peace in my heart, knowing that all things work together for good to them who love God and for those called according to His Purpose (Romans 8:28).
We are definitely in a time of maturing in our Faith that we may trust in God with our whole heart.
- He is our PROVIDER.
- He is our SAVIOR.
- He is our ENABLER.
- He is our STRENGTH.
- He is our HOPE.
He is teaching us that nothing happens by chance.
He is training us for our purpose that shall ultimately be unfolding in these end-times.
He is ready to pour out His love to a lost and dying world.
He truly is building in us Faith to move mountains, Hope for Tomorrow and Love that never fails.
Just as I was reading the scripture in Romans 8:28 [below] and how all things work together, The LORD spoke, “You are being prepared to resist temptation for in the end times; you must see Me in every circumstance; you must trust Me in every temporary upset; and you must resist and take a firm stand with every attack of the enemy, for I AM raising up an Army of true Disciples who know their God, and who are being prepared for the restoration of all things.
I AM the God of Hope. Many have had their hope deferred, but I AM coming to renew and restore Hope.
It is indeed a Time of Restoration for broken and divided families, and the Healing of broken hearts, and ultimately, a Restoration of those who have turned away from their God in this hour of deep deception, sorcery and witchcraft,” says The Father.
“I come to you today to strengthen your hearts in Faith, Hope and Love.
The whole world is starving for true Love. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.
A deeper place in Me is calling for a deeper love in you.
Come out into the deep waters and let My Love wash over you, and cleanse you from the guilt and pain of yesterday,” says The One Who is LOVE.
“My Arms are open wide, and I AM calling out to all who are willing to let Love be the perfect motivation of their lives.”
“Love is large and incredibly patient.
Love is gentle and consistently kind to all.
It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else.
Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.
Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor.
Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.
Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.
Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others.
Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 TPT
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”” Romans 1:16-17
Profiting from Trials
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from The LORD; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” James 1:2-8
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

Amen David. Faith is has not changed and always will be our option and the only way according to the word..we,’the church’, the called out family of God, the believers..whatever name we choose are the ones who the word refers to: the Just shall live by Faith (in GOD). He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. We received salvation by FAITH and we are called to demonstrate that Faith as well. Thank you for your valuable input, David. Blessings, Sandi Holman
So good. Just the right word for this time and a great encouragement for me today.
BLessings to you Mark. SO very glad it was an on time word for you!! I appreciate your comment very much. Grace and peace, Sandi Holman
Good day beautiful!! :)
Thank you for this amazing encouragement!!
As I read your post I was reminded of a testimony from Lonnie Frisbee where the Lord placed on his heart to go to Africa. When He did this He also stopped Lonnies money flow. He had a small bit in The bank and when he was down to the last nickle the Lord had him go and order the tickets and book the rooms. It came to 6000.00. The Travel Agent told him they were ordered and would be ready the following day, to show up with the money…..
As that hour approached he admitted to his own doubts and fears when suddenly his secretary called and said, “You are not going to believe this but a man has just given you a check for 25,000.00!!!”
Lonnie didn’t know the man, but he told Lonnie that the Lord spoke and told him to do it, he was a millionaire, but when the Lord said the amount the man tried rebuking the devil!! The Lord asked the man who’s money it really was, the man said “its Your Lord” and did what he was told!!
Our God our Beautiful God!!! How Great You Are!! Remove the doubts in Your Children and release the Kingdom Abba Father through the Purified Vessels of Your Love, Your Peace,and Your Joy!!
Hallelujah!!
God bless you beautiful Sandi!!
Good day to you dear Cherish, As always, you blessed us with a beautiful story, I have been searching out the real truth about Lonnie ever since I saw his abrupt exit in the Jesus Revolution which turned out to be Greg Laurie’s story with many missing pieces. I loved your story here. Thanks so much for sharing. He was quite a anointed one. I just watched his brother, Stan who is a pastor in an interview with Robby Dawkins and it was SO good. Love and peace, Sandi
Heb11:1 Now faith is the substance of thing hoped for the evidence of things not seen.
True Faith is not based upon any thing you could see in the world. Like a child has no problem playing house with a made up tea set so we in spite of what we see know that greater is he who is in me then he who is in the world. I will never leave you nor foresake you. In stead of if Jesus was here every thing will be fine. How about my father is greater than I am and we will make our abode in you. What is going on in the world is a lack of the truth in the church in the world. It is not about believing it is what you have believed. Mostly about loving your brother and not the one you were born with the one you were reborn with. Some things to think about. Help actually has always been here most can’t see it.
