Reliable

No matter what we face, God will always prove Himself to be trustworthy and true.

I recently had an encounter with the Lord in a time of prayer. In this one encounter, the Lord began to show me and speak to me about so much. One of the things the Lord showed me was what many would call an open vision. In the vision, I could see the Lord standing at a distance away on a small hill in a large open field. I could also see past the Lord every type of storm imaginable all coming towards Him. I could see huge dark clouds, tornados, hurricanes, hail, lightning, and thunder all on the horizon. The storms eventually circled all around him and then the vision shifted. I was brought into the eye of the storm and was standing next to the Lord. Even though the storms had completely surrounded Him he had a look of complete confidence and peace. Then He spoke this to me, “I am reliable.”

When the Lord spoke this to me, I could feel the strength and power in His words. My faith increased and I felt reassured that no matter what trial, test, situation, circumstance, or storm I may face that the Lord will bring me through anything. I believe the Lord showed this to me, not just for me but that this is a strong word for so many in the body of Christ in this hour. This is a season where many may be tempted to give in to fear but we are to draw from the unshakable peace of God and truly rely on Him.

This encounter reminded me of Psalm 32:8. In the Passion Translation, it says this, “I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide.” The One guiding you is reliable! I believe in this season; the Lord has come to speak peace over those who are facing storms. There is a fourth man standing in the fire and He will see you through it! You will come out on the other side not even smelling like smoke!

God is reliable because He is God. He does not change. No matter what we face, God will always prove Himself to be trustworthy and true. I don’t know what storm you may be facing but the Lord will see you through it. God is also reliable because of His great love for you. God’s love for you does not change and it is stronger than anything the enemy may try to throw your way. Never forget that it is God’s perfect love that casts out all fear.

God has given each of us a breathtaking purpose and prophetic destiny. As you walk with the Lord and go after all that He has for you, you will face difficulty and many storms. However, we must remember in every storm we know the One who walks on water and can speak peace to the raging winds that may try to overtake us. I love the story in Matthew 14. Jesus is walking on the stormy sea and Peter is looking for Jesus in the midst of the storm. Peter has so much faith in Jesus in this moment that he tells Him, “If it is you, Lord, call me out onto the water with you.” God is looking for those with this kind of faith and confidence in this season. Those who will lean draw from Him strength and peace in this season will walk on the water with Him. God is reliable, my friends. There is not a single battle He has not won. There is no situation too hard for Him. Whatever you may be facing in this season, He will bring you through the storm!
