You Have Been Found Faithful!
By Becky Porter
As soon as I began to wait on the Lord, He brought the
following song to mind:
Ah Lord God
Ah Lord God, Thou hast made the heavens
And the earth by Thy great power;
Ah Lord God, Thou hast made the heavens
And the earth by Thine outstretched arm.
Nothing is too difficult for Thee,
Nothing is too difficult for Thee;
Oh, great and mighty God,
Great in power and mighty in deed,
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing,
Nothing is too difficult for thee!
Let your faith arise, My beloved – let your faith
arise! I AM doing a new thing; can you not perceive it? I AM making
a way through the desert even now! New streams of living water will
suddenly appear and pour forth in your midst, overtaking the barren wastelands
of your life! You have fought a fierce battle and you have won!
Victory is yours, My beloved, victory is yours! You will see the answers
you are looking for - you will see the changes you desire! Trust Me to
see you through the last of your desert vestiges - trust Me to see you all the
way through to the other side where victory awaits you! I know the battle
has been long and hard, and at times you were battle weary and war torn, but
know that I never left your side even for one moment. I was there with
you in your darkest hour when the battle was the most fierce, and you wondered
if you would survive. I was there with you, fighting on your behalf,
holding the enemy at bay so he could not touch you, and crushing him under My
feet! You were never without My covering and My protection.
You have been tested and you have been found
faithful! Those things that you have cried out for, those things that you
have waited for, hoped for, believed for, and fought for, it has not been in
vain - you shall see those things come to pass in your life, and in the lives
of your loved ones! I have seen your tears and I have heard your every
cry! I saw every sacrifice you made and I saw every act of
obedience. I saw you surrender to My will, even though there were times
you didn’t want to and your struggle was great, but still you trusted Me, and
still you obeyed! You have fought the good fight of faith and you have
won! You persevered in the midst of great trial and tribulation – you fought
the battle on your knees through fasting and prayer, through surrendering and
obeying, through tithing and giving, through worship and praise, through
serving and ministering to others, through forgiving the unforgivable, and
through a deep desire to please Me and to be the pure vessel of honor that I
have called you to be! Not everyone is willing to do those things - not
everyone is willing to make those sacrifices, but because you have been
faithful and obedient, I AM going to reward you and bless you in ways that will
surprise and amaze you! You deserve My blessings, My beloved, and I
gladly give them to you with great joy and with great anticipation! You
will LOVE the gifts I AM going to bestow upon you – you will LOVE them!
New life awaits you – an abundant life – a life of great peace, joy, and
victory! Sorrow will no longer be your garment, for I AM giving you
beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, and the garment of praise instead of
heaviness - My joy will know no bounds in your life! Your heart’s desires
are going to be fulfilled and will become a reality in your life!
Where your
spine has been bowed under the weight and pressure that came through people
putting burdens on you that were never yours to carry, I AM removing those
burdens now! I AM giving you a straight back that is strong and stable
and able to carry My load, because My yoke is easy and My burden is
light! Arise, shine, for your light has come! The anointing that
you will carry will far surpass and outweigh the one you formerly possessed!
I AM going to give to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over – it
shall be poured into your bosom and into your life! My plans are good
plans – VERY good plans – so continue to trust Me, and continue on the path I
have set before you. I AM going to give you MANY opportunities to
minister on My behalf!
Isaiah 43:19 NIV
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do
you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the
wasteland.
Isaiah 41:18 NIV
I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs
within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and
the parched ground into springs.
Isaiah 35:6 NLT
The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy! Springs will gush forth forth in the wilderness, and streams will water the wasteland.
Isaiah 40:4-5 NIV
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill
made low, the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see
it. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
2
Timothy 4:7 NLT
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race,
and I have remained faithful.
Luke 19:17 NIV
“‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because
you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’”
