TRUST THE FAITHFUL PROTECTOR
Prophecy given through Barbara A. Williams, April 29, 2001

The Lord wants you to know that, “Divine protection is yours.  Divine protection belongs to the Bride.  Just as I am a Faithful Groom, I am a faithful Spouse,” says the Lord Jesus Christ, “I am faithful.  And just like woman depends on a strong man to protect her,” says the Spirit of God, “then I am the Protector of the Bride, My spouse,” says the Lord Jesus Christ.  “So trust Me and call upon Me.  I can work through men, I can work by My Spirit, I work through angels, I work through many different ways to provide protection for My Beloved, My Bride,” says the Spirit of God.  “And understand that I have all of you included in that – there is no male nor female in Christ – no male nor female in My Bride.  For even the strongest of men need a strong husband; a husband kinsman redeemer that they can depend upon and they can trust,” says the Spirit of God.  They need the understanding that there is a Father who loves them and cares about them,” says the Lord.  “And I am that One,” says the Lord.  “I am that One, so learn to lean on Me, learn to trust Me, learn to depend upon Me – I am dependable,” says the Spirit of God.  I am the only One strong enough to meet every foe that would ever come in your life.  I am the only One able to (by My wisdom) cause you to avoid every rough place that would try and overcome you. 

“So trust Me in all things,” says the Spirit of God.  “Trust Me totally,” says the Lord.  “Let everything go.  Have I not told you that I have only good prepared for you and only good laid up for you,” says the Spirit of God.  “So trust Me that I have that which is good, and that I am good.  And that I have good prepared for you and I will only do you good all the days of your life,” says the Spirit of God.  “Trust Me that I am good.  Trust Me that I love you.  Trust Me that I am a faithful Groom and a Faithful Spouse,” says the Spirit of God.

“For I am Grooming you even now, I am adorning you even now with more good things to wear.  More good things to wear.  More of the fruit of My Spirit.  More of My grace and My dignity, My honor,” says the Spirit of God.  “For I am the Groom and I am adorning you even now with good things for you.  The fruit of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, wisdom, dignity, honor, and glory I am giving only to My Bride,” says the Spirit of Grace, “for I will not share My glory with another – just The Ones who are called out, who are sold out to Me, who have given their hearts totally to Me,” says the Lord.  “Who have set their affection and set their love on Me,” says the Spirit of Grace.  “For I know your heart, I know your inward parts, and I can see what man cannot see,” says the Spirit of God.  “I can see what you cannot see,” says the Lord.  “And It’s not always bad,” says the Lord, “but it’s good.  For I have put good things inside of you and I am adorning you even now with more good things,” says the Spirit of the Lord. 

“So you trust Me because I am trust worthy,” says the Spirit.  “Judge Me faithful because I am faithful,” says the Lord.  “Judge Me powerful for I am all-powerful, and there is nothing that I cannot do and will not do for you,” says the Spirit of God.  “But I must have your trust, I must have your confidence, and I must have your faith in Me before I can do great things through you and for you,” says the Spirit of the Lord.

“But call upon Me – I’ll answer you.  I will show you great things,” says the Lord.  “Call upon Me, and I’ll answer you, for I delight in showing you great things,” says the Spirit.  “I have many great things for you.  I have many great things to share with you.  I have many great things to take you to and take you through,” says the Spirit of God.  “For I am the God of Great Things, and if you abide with Me, and remain stable and fixed under My shadow, you go where I go, and you do what I do,” says the Lord.

“And so many of you who are afraid and who shrink back will never experience the great things that I have,” says the Spirit, because you yet have not learned to trust Me.  But when you trust Me – when you make Me your habitation, when you make your dwelling place, when you make Me your abode,” says the Spirit of God, “then I can come for you, and I can take you to all of the places that I want you to go,” says the Spirit of God.

“For I have many things to show you!  Many things to do with you!  Many things that I want you to do!  You are not ending—you are just beginning,” says the Lord.  “You are just in the beginning of things,” says the Spirit of God.

“So trust that I have these things for you.  Trust that there is no time factor in what I am doing, except that you quit wasting time and give Me everything that you have,” says the Spirit of God.  “Give it to Me and give it to Me NOW!  Declare that ‘the Lord IS My refuge.’  Declare that ‘the Lord IS My fortress!  I trust ONLY in Him!’  And I will respond, and I will come to you, as the Great One – The Great Protector – The Great Shepherd, and make you abide with Me under the shadow of the Almighty.  For I have much to do, and it is dependent upon you accepting Me as I am; as the Great I AM – The One who can do great and mighty things – the One who parts the Red Sea – the One who speaks with fire from the mountain,” says the Spirit of God.  “I am still the Great and Almighty God, and I want to do Almighty things through My Bride,” says the Spirit of the Living God.
