JUDGE GOD FAITHFUL IN ADVERSITY
Prophecy given through Barbara Williams, September 8, 2001

Now the Faithfulness of God is like this: God sees, and God keeps record, God records, and God watches... He is the Husbandman. He watches His plantings... and He prunes, and He waters, and then He may bring conditions that are adverse to us, because all of these things are necessary for the correct growing of all kinds of things...

"Even harsh weather conditions are necessary," says the Spirit of God. "Necessary to weed those things out that won't survive. Necessary that the ones that are hearty would make it... the ones that are strong would make it... the ones that know how to pull in and know how to run for shelter, and abide under His Shadow... those are the ones that make it during adverse conditions," says the Spirit of God. "Those that are tested under pressure. Those that are tested under fire, those things that are seeds in the earth that are planted... I am the Husbandman. I watch over it. I prune. I cut those things off that I can't use. Things that don't bear fruit for Me, things that I don't want to use at this hour," says the Spirit of God, "I prune and I cut back... always shaping and reshaping and forming that vessel into a vessel of honor," says the Spirit of God.

"And so you are My workmanship. I am the Husbandman. And I am shaping you and I am forming you into something that is greater than what you can imagine," says the Spirit of God. "And if you would just stay faithful to allow these things to be, allow these things to be," says the Spirit of God, "and if you will judge Me Faithful," says the Lord, "then at the correct time, the fruit will come forth. At the correct time, the blossom will come forth. At the correct time, the bud will come forth, and then the full fruit," says the Spirit of God. "The full fruit will come," says the Lord, "because of My Faithfulness."

"So if you judge Me Faithful, and you stay faithful in the place that I've called you to, and you allow Me to prune, and you hold fast to Me during bad conditions, during times when there's pressure, during times when there's not good conditions in your life... during those times... If you will stay faithful to Me during those times, then I will have respect unto the sacrifice that you're making. I'll have respect unto your obedience, and I will have respect for you, and I will bless you, and I will increase you, I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing to many," says the Spirit of God.

"And this being a blessing to many is of great value to Me," says the Lord, "for that is the place where I can store up blessing for you that you have no idea that are there for you," says the Spirit. "I can store up blessings for you that will bless your seed for many a generation," says the Spirit of God. "I will store up blessings for you that cannot be counted for number," says the Spirit of the Living God. 

"So your faithfulness matches My faithfulness. Your ability to stay put and to endure matches mine," says the Spirit of God. "And I will be faithful over that which I have planted," says the Lord. "Can a nursing mother forget her small child?" says the Spirit of God. "Then certainly I will not forget you. Certainly I will not forget you. For I am attentive to your every cry, and I am here to meet your every need.

"So abide with Me and trust Me. Count Me faithful. Be Faithful to Me, and I will surely bring forth that which you desire. I will surely prosper. I will surely bless. And I will surely release appropriate blessings at the appropriate time. I will not fail you. I will not fail you. I will not fail you because I am a Faithful God," says the Spirit of the Lord.

"Great blessings go unclaimed because of restless flesh and not trusting Me. Great blessings go unclaimed because of restless flesh and not trusting Me. Great blessings go unclaimed because of restless flesh and not trusting Me."
