Where Are You in Your Journey?
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!

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

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.
