Prophetic Word: There IS a Reward for You

Beloved, have you been in the agony of the Refiner’s fire, and you begin to feel forgotten or abandoned? If so, this short word from the Lord is for you today.

I heard the Father say:

“I am with you always, even to the end of the world. I know it does not always look like I am with you. I know you do not always see My help in the way you would like to see it. But I am with you, near you, and in your heart, just the same.

The enemy has been trying to undermine your faith in Me by showing you your circumstances. However, beloved, I want you to fight back by showing the enemy and the world your faith in My Word. For My Word abides forever, and My Word cannot fail.

My Word is in you, in your mouth and in your heart.

You have worked long and hard to hide it there, and I have helped you. I have given you My Word as a tool that will help you receive all that I have for you. But, you must believe, no matter what circumstances look like–and no matter what appearances tell you.

This is a time of a major test for you. But, I am going to help you through this test, just like I always help you.

I know you do not know what to do or where to go. I am aware of the things that have come upon you, which feel overwhelming to you. But I am fighting for you as you hold your peace and rest in Me–which you can feel, if you pay attention to the fact that I have given you peace.

You are My beloved child, and you are going to come out of this season shining like gold. This has been a time of refining and testing for you; a time which feels hotter than hot, for you are right in the middle of My refining pot, sitting on My refining fire.

I know it feels like it has been a long time that you have been in the fire, and it has. But the treasure I have placed in you is far above what I have done in some, because you have been more moldable and pliable before Me than others have.

You have willingly yielded your heart to Me, to be My cherished prize. And so I am turning you into a work of artistry that all will see and admire, in accordance with your surrender.

I am not finished with you yet, but this stage of refining is almost over.

Indeed, the end of this particular test will be on you soon enough, and again you will say, “Why did I struggle to believe? God is faithful, just like always!” For even when you do not see the way ahead, I always do; and I will lead you there, into the great and mighty things that I have for you.

I need you to keep the faith.

I need you to protect your faith like the precious jewel it is. I need you to guard it and build it and stir your faith up. For I the Lord your God have not left you and never will leave you. I am building you up, brick by brick, into a giant edifice in My Kingdom–a great building of high value.

I know it takes time, but the time is worth it. The abiding in Me and clinging to Me are worth it, for I am your greatest Treasure, as you are Mine. And the relationship we build even during these times of hardship is worth it all, even if there were no reward for you at the end of it.

However, there IS a reward for you at the end of this season.

The reward is coming; it will surely come. Have I not promised that I will reward you for being faithful to Me, and for seeking Me? Have I not promised to reward your endurance and your labor?

For you have labored for Me and toward Me with all your heart, and I have not forgotten you. Pray for the rewards, even the rewards of private prayer; for I love to reward you all day long, and I will not forget you!” says the Lord.

Amen and thank You, Lord.

Beloved, does this word encourage your heart today? If so, strengthen your faith in accordance with the Word of the Lord! Stir up the gifts that are in you; pray in the Spirit; and speak God’s Word out loud! God is not a man, that He should lie. He WILL be faithful to you!
