Is There an Elephant in Your Room?
“Elevation and Revelation are right at hand waiting on those who are continuing to allow the enemy to play his hand.
But I continue to call you forth to move up and recognize what is holding you back,” says The LORD.
Suddenly I saw a big Elephant, and The LORD reminded me of an old expression “there’s an elephant in the room…”
When I laughed, I heard The LORD say, “In this very season, I will show those who are stuck and unable to move into your destined call to fulfill your potential.
Yes, from the viewpoint of the ones who are stuck, ‘it’s as big as an elephant in the room’!” says The LORD.
“In this time of so many unexpected twists and turns, money issues and money changers, anger has gripped the hearts of many who are struggling to overturn the attacks of the enemy.
Indeed, the attacks were sudden, unexpected and appeared to be without rhyme or reason,” says The LORD God.
“The main strategy of the enemy is to attack you in your mind. His battle to destroy you is to capture your thoughts.
That is why My Word says to “take every thought captive” (2 Corinthians 10:5). The battle only begins in the mind, but it spreads like wildfire to your imagination, says the Creator of all the world.
I AM filling the hearts of those who took the bait of Satan, with COURAGE and ENDURANCE to press on in the FEAR OF The LORD, knowing that the first thing you must do is let My Word dwell in you richly, for it is your strong weapon as you speak boldly to the ‘elephant in the room’.
Then know that The Word is The Sword of The Spirit.
Rise up and declare, “I am strong in The LORD — and in the Power of His Might!”
Beloved, I encourage you today to guard your heart well, for the things that proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart.
So remember, it all begins with a thought!
The enemy wants you to take the thought and act on it and when you act on it, it is proof it dropped down in your heart,” says The Father.
“I say to you, be still in M y Presence and you shall know that I AM God.
My Refining Fire is at work in your silence. You shall learn when to speak and when to be silent as patience takes us presence in your heart in this moment of preparation.
I AM speaking this truth today to those who have ears to hear. The Shout of Faith is the greatest offensive corporate Weapon of the Church today.
Every time a Word is spoken, that Word becomes established in the earth, so I urge you to let your heart be established on the truth of My Word.
You may not even remember the words you have spoken — but the moment they leave your mouth, they haven’t disappeared.
So, avoid careless speaking and never return evil for evil!
So many Called-out Ones have felt like life has passed them by from the beginning of the attack of Covid until this very hour.
And just like Peter reacted to rejection of Jesus, and went back to fishing due to shame and feelings of rejection — a mistake is not forever!” says The Father God.
“Remember, Peter learned from his mistakes and received Mercy and Grace. So, it is for those who took the bait of Satan — who trapped them in the mindset of presumption — and they gave up their Hopes and Dreams.
I AM here to announce, it is only the beginning of the Restitution and Resurrection and Restoration of all that has been lost,” says The Resurrected One.
“I AM replacing your doubts with assurance, and I AM setting your heart ablaze with My Love to capture the many who have lost Hope for tomorrow.”
“While others thought meanly, and spake scornfully of the apostle, he had low thoughts, and spake humbly of himself. We should be aware of our own infirmities, and think humbly of ourselves, even when men reproach us. The work of the ministry is a spiritual warfare with spiritual enemies, and for spiritual purposes. Outward force is not the method of the gospel, but strong persuasions, by the power of truth and the meekness of wisdom. Conscience is accountable to God only; and people must be persuaded to God and their duty, not driven by force. Thus, the weapons of our warfare are very powerful; the evidence of truth is convincing. What opposition is made against the gospel, by the powers of sin and Satan in the hearts of men! But observe the conquest the word of God gains. The appointed means, however feeble they appear to some, will be mighty through God. And the preaching of the cross, by men of faith and prayer, has always been fatal to idolatry, impiety, and wickedness.” Matthew Henry’s Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:1-6
“And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.” Hebrews 1:7 NKJV
“My son, if you will take the time to stop and listen to me and embrace what I say, you will live a long and happy life full of understanding in every way.” Proverbs 4:10 TPT
“So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” Joshua 6:20 NKJV
Now is the hour to remember what the Psalmist said, “There is no place where God is not!” (Psalm 139:7-12)
There is only a difference in the measure of His Presence.
God is always near. He Himself determines that measure, which is always in accordance with His self-existent ways.
We are never forgotten and are never ever alone.

POWERFUL!!! GOD IS SO AMAZING! GOD BLESS YOU IN A POWERFUL WAY ALWAYS! IN JESUS NAME
LOVE, SISTER SHERRY
Sandi, This word gets to the heart of the matter. It is always about the heart. Loved the part about words, not disappearing. They can become the elephant in the room, opening or closing doors in this season. We must make a real effort to be and stay still for our time with the Lord. I love the part about the refiners fire at work in the silence. Will print this one, it’s a keeper. Also sent it to a family member. Love you And Jesus in you sister.
Loved hearing your take on the elephant in the room, Patricia. That was actually just after I personally walked through an experience of taking a thought that became an opinion and turned into a judgment of someone and I never saw that I was judging her. Then the Lord reminded me that when we fall into the judgment trap, it is always rooted in pride. Boy, did the Lord get my attention before I could reply to her. He gave me a download of loving correction for about an hour of seeing it from His perspective and showing me my heart. Thanks for sharing. Love and blessings, Sandi
Dear Joyce, Thanks over and over for your loving response to the heart of the Father. You are God’s cheerleader always cheering us on!! We truly MUST be still in these times that we cannot explain, understand or even fathom without the wisdom of the Lord. Lord, help us to keep our mouth shut unless you give us something you desire us to speak. I receive that prayer that the Lord help us to surrender all of our thought life to HIM for wisdom and may HE be the only FILTER we need to release His living water. xoxo Sandi
Powerful! Thank you servant of the living God.
Dear Success, You are welcome. It is my joy to be His servant. Blessings, Sandi
Good beautiful Day Sandi.
Your Word reminds me of a dream I had where I saw myself sitting in front of a large window looking through as women on the other side flaunted themselves before me to stir up within me the spirit of envy. But I turned away as if waking up and got off the stool as a Spirit of Perfect Peace filled my soul and mind. There was a man I knew from my “dark” past trying to get me to continue agreeing with what had been holding me in bondage, and I knew somehow he’d been benefitting from my suffering. I simply walked past him to a pedestal and signed out and walked out the door. Overhead was a very dark very loud cloudy sky, the shapes of the clouds were animals and inparticular I saw and heard the loud annoying sound of the elephant. I simply looked up at the sky and said, “Peace be still,” and like mud soaked in water it all disintegrated and fell to the earth. Overhead now was the most Beautiful Blue Sky I had ever seen and the people walking around were now awakened and enlightened. Suddenly before me from out of the sky appeared a hovercraft with two men, very upset, with devices in their hands which had been releasing the thick smoke keeping people in bondage. But no matter…..WE WERE FREE!!!
The End. :D
Cherish, You sure have powerful insightful dreams. Thanks for sharing..glory to God for the Freedom we so freely have access to til THE END. Sandi
I believe and receive and agree to the words of Jesus and Sandi.Amen
Dear Lynece, Grateful for your agreement. May God lead and guide you as you run with His message of Resurrection Power in this hour! Sandi
Love this Word and rhe heart of the Father, Sandi. Thank you for being the vessel He spoke through on this. It is very encouraging amidst all the turmoil going on everywhere, especially in Israel right now. It all brings me right now to the scripture “Be still and know that I AM God.”
To borrow a powerful excerpt. “You may not even remember the words you have spoken — but the moment they leave your mouth, they haven’t disappeared.
So, avoid careless speaking and never return evil for evil!”
Lord help us all to surrender our thoughts by taking them captive, so thereby our heart is not popping out of our mouths! I love you sister. ❤️
