Perseverance, Persecution, and Promise
Beloved, I keep hearing The LORD say, “When I find a people without mixture, I will pour out My Spirit without measure.”
I believe He is summoning His Bride, those who know Him, in this hour to be delivered from the cares of this world in a mighty way. He is continually saying to me, “Carpe diem! Seize the day. Be intentional.
Cherish the moments to remember of past days, but put the past to rest.
Give your heart permission to trust and obey, wipe away all the tears of yesterday and tell your heart to beat again.
I AM calling forth mighty Warriors, dressed for battle, to move forward with momentum into this moment of violence and angry hostility that is reaching a crescendo daily,” says The LORD of Hosts.
“I AM calling forth believers to stand firm against the darkness and manipulation taking place in the nations.
It is not a time to step out on your Assumptions or Presumptions, but to trust in The LORD your God with all your heart, and obey My Voice, as I lead you forward beyond the persecution with Perseverance, to embrace your Destiny.
There are many who are truly unprepared and have no understanding of the times, but I AM causing you to quickly see and understand what you are here for.
I AM announcing that I AM right at the Door. There is no more time to waste. I AM giving you an awakening moment of where you are and where you have been and you will see beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the hour you were created for.
Indeed, Perseverance shall conquer Persecution and usher in the Promises of God.
In this hour, you shall finally recognize that Perseverance and Promotion are the power twins for Purpose.
My Chosen Ones shall receive Promotion as a result of Perseverance. They are producing double honor in The Kingdom of God.
Seek Me with all your heart, for I desire to reveal to you fragments of your Dreams and Visions that you thought were stolen in this past year.
But even in the face of the heavy Winds of Persecution sent to cause you to give in and give up, I have been working out every detail that concerns you,” says The Father.
“The many pieces of your story you thought were missing, shall all begin to fall into place just like dominoes.
Everything will clearly become black and white suddenly,” says The LORD.
“Even as the fall leaves begin to show their beautiful colors, you also shall see your world change to Beauty from Ashes.
As I have spoken before, it shall be the best of times and the worst of times, but My Light shall shine brightly on your pathway.
There shall be a great onslaught of Persecution for those who are standing for Freedom and Truth, but it shall be a time of deeper Revelation being released with greater understanding.
Yes, you shall awaken to The Truth that Perseverance shall bring forth My Promises of Turnaround and Revival,” says the Promise Keeper.
“Yes, Perseverance, Persecution and Promise will all work for your good, for I AM with you and I guide you with My Right Hand.”
As I envisioned how powerful that promise is, I begin to think about the Zadok priests and the spirit of Holiness that Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur cause us to focus on. Yom Kippur is a Day of Atonement that begins on On October 4 and ends the evening of October 5, 2022.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are remembered as the High Holy Days spoken of in the book of Leviticus. The 10 Days of Awe begin with Rosh Hashanah and end after Yom Kippur. These days are truly at time of introspection and repentance and a time to ask forgiveness for those you have wronged.
As we are approach the Days of Awe, may we all set aside time to seek The LORD for repentance as we move forward in celebration our new beginnings that the Jewish New Year speak of.
I sincerely believe The LORD is bringing deep conviction to our hearts in this hour to seek Him and allow Him to show us our heart that we may repent and be cleansed.
Yom Kippur marks the climax of the ten days of repentance known as Days of Awe. According to Jewish tradition, on Rosh Hashanah, the destiny of the righteous are written in the Book of Life, and the destiny of the wicked are written in the Book of Death.
However, most people will not be written in, either because they are granted the 10 days to repent before Yom Kippur.
As we are currently in the Days of Awe, may we all set aside time to seek The LORD for repentance as we move forward in celebration of Yom Kippur.
I sincerely believe The LORD is bringing deep conviction to our hearts in this hour to seek Him and allow Him to show us our heart that we may repent and be cleansed.
I believe the Spirit of Truth is calling each of us to walk as did the Zadok priests in the Old Testament.
They were charged with the ministry unto The LORD and to that of teaching the people how to distinguish between what is Godly and what is Ungodly. (Ezekiel 44:15-23).
Many are walking in deception as well as denial today because they have departed from the true path of righteousness.
We must return to our first love and stop suppressing the truth to justify the things we choose to do that speak of mixture and compromise.
“But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood,” says The LORD GOD.
“They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall come near My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge. And it shall be, whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, that they shall put on linen garments; no wool shall come upon them while they minister within the gates of the inner court or within the house.
They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.
When they go out to the outer court, to the outer court to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and put on other garments; and in their holy garments they shall not sanctify the people.
“They shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow long, but they shall keep their hair well trimmed. No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court.
They shall not take as wife a widow or a divorced woman, but take virgins of the descendants of the house of Israel, or widows of priests. And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:15-23 NKJV.
I continue to hear The LORD say, “Just trust Me! What you have accomplished thus far is far more than you ever envisioned.
You are turning the corner and beginning to head into a new direction that is filled with unexpected surprise encounters.
Look up and all around and you will see answers to you prayers begin to abound. Many times you have trusted and continued to obey and in this hour you shall have what you say.
As you continue to count it all joy and follow my plan, you shall never measure your success by the accolades of man,” says The Father.
“Many shall be lifted out of the depths of disappointment and ride the coming waves of true revival! I say to you, the fullness of time has come for many of the prophecies spoken over you in the past to come forth!
So cross over,” says The LORD, “and walk in my great favor as you rise up to realize and solidify your destiny.
Truth shall well up in your heart, and you shall find yourself declaring My Word in Holy Boldness.
My Word shall go forth as a Flaming Fire against the opposition that tried to destroy you in this last season.
Jubilee is available to you at all times. Only believe!” says The Father.
The Word of God says: “The Word of Faith is nigh thee, even in our mouth,” (Romans 10:8).
Once again, I ask you to partner with Papa God to Decree, Establish, Proclaim, and bring the finished work of Calvary, the Sózó wholeness into the lives of His Children. (Sózó is complete wholeness.)
Let’s begin to Declare these Declarations together, and allow The Spirit of Expectancy to rise in your heart, to believe we shall see The Glory of The LORD as He establishes and performs His Word.
“Thou shalt also Decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee. And The Light shall shine upon your path,” Job 23:28.
- Declare the Trumpet of God, His Prophetic Voice will begin to sound in your city.
- Declare religious rituals that are blinding God’s People in your area, to be broken.
- Declare that no plan of the enemy will be able to ensnare you, and entrap you.
- Declare Expansion and Enlargement to come in every area of your life.
- Declare a Release of Supply Lines for every need.
- Declare a New Beginning over your life, and the ones you are praying for.
- Declare that your Light shall arise in the midst of the darkness that is surrounding you.
- Declare a Divine Wisdom and Strategy shall arise, so that no debt can hold you, and you shall prosper in every area of your life.

I agree absolutely with this message Dear vessel of God. Before now i used to ask the LORD “WHY AM ALWAYS PERSECUTED & ALL YOU DO IS ASK ME TO WAIT UPON YOU? Now am beginning to see that The Grace of God has been sufficient for me to persevere countless demonic persecutions that have led to my many double honors & promotions in both natural & spiritual realms beyond my human capacity. I have also observed that bigger packages/promises for me from my God always trigger more persecutions but God is always faithful to release more Grace to persevere, more strategies, revelations, wisdoms etc to tackle them. May God give us the Grace to truly repent, declare, persevere every persecutions & receive double promotions in Jesus Christ name.
Dear Adams, thank you for sharing. As always you minister right back to me. Thank you so much.. love hearing your story. We are all the same in one regard, but we all have a different story. The Lord engages with each of us in His own unique way because He takes us just as we are, where we are and ministers His wisdom and grace to persevere and turn everything around for good. YES MORE GRACE and MERCY that is new every morning. What an AMAZING GOD we serve…HIS LOVE IS the same every day. Many blessings, friend, Sandi

So far, it’s been a line up of women teaching, sharing, speaking prophetically this evening.
It is very peaceful, here.
Therese, Thanks for your kind words. It shall be established in you and for you just as you said for HE establishes it. He watches over His word to perform it. I couldn’t agree with you more that HIS KINGDOM PROPHECY provides a very peaceful atmosphere, a peaceful family that flows together and the peace of God that passes all understanding to all who enter in here. May you be blessed beyond measure, Sandi Holman
Sandi, this is a much needed and beneficial word to the body of Christ.
I commented strongly earlier today. Then I couldn’t send it.
My cell phone went bonkers,lol. Then when I tried to find it, the comment just disappeared
It lets me know, the enemy is trying to break our connection, but by the grace of God it won’t!
I love you sister and friend. I am going to set down tonight and reread the whole article. You and Bev today both posted such wonderful words from the Lord. It gives me much strength for my journey.
Love & prayers, Joyce
