A PROPHETIC WORD FOR THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING:
Oh - precious son - precious daughter of the Living God - no matter what you are facing today - if it seemed this morning when you woke that all hope was gone and that because of all that you have been going through - that you can hardly find the strength to continue - I have to tell you this day that the Lord Jesus himself - He who is the fairest of ten thousand - loves you so intimately - so tenderly - and that His eye has been upon you. That even while you have been struggling in the eye of the storm, that even where His voice has been drowned out by the stresses and strains of all the circumstances that surround you - Oh precious child - He would have you know that He has heard your cry - that He has seen the tears that have run down your face unnoticed by others.
For surely He has not forsaken you - For surely God - the Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has not forgotten you - no, for surely He has seen the things that have driven you to your knees in despair and so, now, in the quietness as you sit before Him and you say "Lord, I love you - but it has been too hard. Lord, you know I love you - but I am at the end of myself" He who so tenderly loves you, would take your hands in His and would lift up your face to His and would whisper to your heart. "Child - Precious child - You who have loved me and served me in obedience and in faithfulness - you who have stood upon My Word and declared My glorious promises into the spirit realm - you whom I have led by My Spirit through many arid and desert places - it is to you that I would speak this day...
"And my child as I speak to you, know that even when it has seemed to you that My presence has been afar off that it has seemed that you have been thirsting in a foreign land - This is My Word to you this day - Lo - I the Lord - the Living God have seen your tears - I have heard your supplications as you have cried out to me in the night hours - I have seen the agony of your soul My child - And even as those that surround you have not seen and have been oblivious to your pain - so I have been with you. I have not passed you over - For surely even this day as you stand before me, beloved - again you shall feel and experience My hand and My presence upon your life.
"For surely my child - I have watched as you have passed through this desert season - And even when there seemed to be no answer, still you trusted in Me. I have watched as you have passed through this preparational season in your life. And I have watched as you have served Me in the dry places and as you have walked through the furnace and the crucible of the testings of man. O My child - surely the season when no man sees, is indeed the season wherein the motivations of your heart truly rise to the surface. For it is in that same season when no man approves you - that I and My Father approve of you. Yes - it is in that season when no man praises you - that truly you are sifted - And so - even as it seemed to you that for a while, my face was removed from you - Beloved child - I have never left your side - For surely I am always here - seeking for you - longing for you - drawing you aside into my presence - My beloved - My child - Come to Me."
