Do You Believe?

Prophetic Word & Vision- I received from the Lord-

(If you believe this Word is for you, and God gives you your own confirmation from Himself by His Spirit, then I encourage you to receive it in faith. . And BELIEVE.)

Brothers and sisters in Christ, as many of us, including myself, have been in a season of waiting, refining, warfare, grief, heavy attack, hardships, struggles, and what feels like a dry and weary land that doesn’t seem like it will end… my heart is to testify and share what the Lord has shown me. This season has been excruciating for many of us, and we have held on to the Lord, waiting upon Him and His Word for help, breakthrough, His promises to be fulfilled that He has spoken to us. We know we heard Him, but it has been, for some, the most difficult season of testing.

I’ve been there, and I know that God is faithful and true, and His Word will not return void, but will be accomplished at His appointed time. But in the waiting, in the agony, we can grow very weary, and lose heart. To us all, I will say, Don’t lose heart, encourage yourself in the Lord.

Recently, on one of my most painful, and agonizing nights, I went to bed with a whispered prayer from my heart. “Lord, I love You, it’s all in Your hands, but I need to hear from You.”

I slept and upon waking in the morning, the song ” Be Still, My Soul” was playing in my head. Normally, I wouldn’t, and can’t even now, remember or recall all the verses and lyrics. But as it played in my head, every single word was being played out without pause, clearly. I fought it a little at first, holding back my tears. Afterwards, I half-numbly read through scriptures, but all I really wanted to do was sleep. I layed down, and sent up another small prayer from my heart, ”I love You, Lord, this hurts so much,…please give me rest, just let me sleep.”

But as I lay there, I began to see a vision… The Lord was approaching me, He was walking towards me. And when he reached me, with tears in His beautiful eyes, He asked, ”Do you believe Me?”

When He asked this, I was drawn in the Spirit immediately to the scene in John, chapter eleven, of the Lord Jesus coming to Martha & Mary after Lazarus had died. They believed in Him, they loved Him… but they were like, well Lord, where were you, if you had been here, he wouldn’t have died. Lazarus had been dead for 4 days, and it was for all to see … done. Over. Finished. He was dead & gone. .. It appeared outwardly, that the Lord had not shown up to help the one He loved. .. BUT… He was about to do a huge miracle that no one saw coming… We know what happened. He raised Lazarus back to life.

And now, the vision of the Lord returned to me. I saw the Lord standing before me, and He says again, ”Do you believe Me?” And I said, “Yes, Lord.” And I sobbed.

He said, ”Pick up your phone.”

And I resisted, because I don’t want to look at anything else besides, just Him! But in humbling myself, I obeyed.

He led me immediately to a Prophetic Word, through a brother in Christ that said, “The Lord wants you to hear this!” I listened as he spoke, ”Beloved, Look at Me. . . Look at Me… Lazarus was dead 4 days, and I delayed my coming for my purposes and glory. I have not forgotten you. I have not abandoned you. You do not have to defend yourself for I am your Defender. My resurrection power is upon you…”

And upon hearing this, my heart was both pierced with conviction as well as comforted greatly.

Then I heard the Lord say to me,

“I am preparing a table before you, in the presence of your enemies. Be still, and know that I am God. I AM the Sovereign Lord of all of Heaven and earth. I am with you and for you.”

And as I pressed into what He was saying, and sat with the Lord…

I heard Him say,

“My children, I know you are tired and weary. I know you have been in sorrow and anguish with many afflictions. But My eyes are still upon you. My love for you is never-ending. My hand is still upon you.

Be still, and stay steadfast in your faith in Me. Do not give up. Do not give in to the lies and taunts of the enemy. Do not allow him any ground or access. Resist the devil, and he WILL flee.

My children, you do not always see and behold all of My movements. There is much done in the unseen realm. Because you can not see it, does not mean it isn’t happening. The righteous shall live by faith… Live by faith in Me. Hold fast to My Word. Press into My heart snd Spirit, and FOLLOW ME. I am here. I AM the resurrection and the life. All who believe in Me, shall never die. And I will never leave nor forsake you… Do you believe this?

Believe in Me. Believe that I AM…. and that I am a rewarder to all those who diligently seek Me. My resurrection power is upon you. Restoration is upon you. Healing is upon you. My hand is upon you. Put on My armor, and stand. There yet remaineth a rest for My people, and I am lifting you up, even now. Wait upon Me, for I AM with you and for you.”

-Thank You God, in the Holy name of Jesus Christ Amen.
