Be Expectant Prophetic Word

Hey guys I was actually not planning on doing a message today but the Lord had other plans he really put in my heart to share what he's been showing me for the church so recently I personally have been going through some pretty hard knocks there's been a lot of things that have happened that kind of just knock the wind out of me and I kind of as I've been praying I felt like there's a lot of others in the church that have had these situations happening where it's just kind of left them breathless and like god I thought you said this I don't understand what's going on things that look the opposite of the promise and I just want to decree and declare to you today that the last message I put out is still true that this is a time of fulfillment it's a time for the promises it is a time of positioning for the forerunners and God has made that clear to me and he wanted me to just declare that that in the places where it looks like maybe loss or demotion or people or positions are being cut out it's actually him creating the space for you to spearhead what you're called to do and so I even questioned the Lord when these things begin to happen of like God why you said that this wasn't a season of destruction anymore that was like his main word to me that there would be no more loss that this is a season if I'm just adding to me and I felt like that was a word to the church it's a season of adding and multiplication and increase not a season of taking away and when I was wrestling with him I actually spent this past week I just closed myself in and just spent it with the Lord to receive his vision and I think that's so important right now that we have his eyes to see because when I pressed in he told me Nicole I'm not taking away I'm making space and so he's creating space sometimes we have to step out of what we're currently doing sometimes there has to be a change in order for us to step into the things that were called too and so if that's been happening with you recently I just I want to encourage you that this is a season of adding and it's not a season of destruction and loss and where the enemy has tried to fill your mind with all these lies of like oh I'm back where I was or I've regressed or this is how things always will be goddess saying no that's not true that it's not what it appears that he's actually creating the space to put you in your calling and to go towards your dusting and things that he's decreed over this season and so we are in a new season and we are in a new place and it doesn't represent the old whatsoever no matter what your circumstances look like he's actually making a way for you in this time and while I was like with him throughout this time I feel like another call that he has on the church right now as a call to radical radical radical worship in a place that doesn't make sense and a call to taking a stand in our authority like never before I had a vision right before I had breakthrough recently and I was just things did not make sense and we're so painful and seeing the opposite of what the Lord said and in that place I just worshipped with all of my heart just like a crazy person worshipped him like he deserves and I'm worshiping him and as I'm worshiping him I see a vision of me in a ditch and it's like an old war movie and I'm in this ditch and a war is happening all around me and I'm just worshiping with all my heart and in that place he showed me that he came to me and he promoted me and he made me a general and he told me Nicole generals are made and promoted by worshiping in the ditches and so I just feel like there's a call for us right now and what looks like a ditch even though it's not what looks like a ditch if we worship with all of our hearts that season a promotion that's here will be made manifest and I also felt like the Lord said do not lie down in the battlefield there is a battle that's raging right now but if we partner with him we will see the breakthrough and I truly believe with all my heart that he's bringing us into a place of maturing in our authority and growing in our authority and teaching us how to rule and rain in this season and how to rule in rain from the courtrooms of heaven and how to decree and take our place as sons and daughters and Co rain and colabor with Christ and just decree things force forth in the courtroom I really believe that he's teaching us how to do that and he's just having a step into that like never before and if if we do this now I believe that will be a breakthrough into the next season that is here that he has for us and so it's time it's time to take our authority it's time to worship with all of our hearts it's time to just cast off doubt and everything all these lies a enemy's trying to fill our heads with and so another thing that I felt like the Lord put on my heart that was for the church right now is a call back to intimacy and so I actually in one of these past days I was with the Lord and and the Lord told me are you in love with me and that caught me so off guard cuz it's just a question I felt my heart now it's like God of course I am like everything I do literally everything I do every word I say it's for you and when I when I responded to him like that he he asked again but are you in love with me and I realized that in the in the busyness of this past season and all the things that were going on I had I had lost like that that first love that romance that love that is just so head-over-heels he's all I can he's all I can focus on him he's all I even want to see and so it's been like in my own heart he's been returning me back to that intimacy and I feel like he's calling the church to return back to that face-to-face place where all that matters is him in time with him in his face and gazing upon him and receiving from him and so I in that place I I was wrestling with all the things that I was seeing and this anger came up in me like God like you promised me all these things why is this happening why and and I my response was anger because I didn't understand what was going on and I felt like God started to speak to me on how I'm is bright and how I'm his wife essentially in in the church is his bride and I felt like he said something that he wants me to share about he just talked to me about how Nicole how much more is a husband like eager to listen to his wife when she doesn't respond in anger when she doesn't understand but instead she comes to him with a broken heart held out for understanding and compassion and so I did that and something shifted in my heart and I just came to him like this hurts God like speak to me here's my heart I need your understanding I need you to move and and he just gave me some scripture that really made things clear for me and it's psalm 51:17 it says a broken and contrite heart he will not despise and James 4:6 God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble and so there's a humbling that's happening in our hearts but it's it's good it's it's just it's for reliance on him and we really need that right now and we really need that in this coming season he is our only anchor of hope in this time and he is the only goodness that we have so to be able to come to him with an open broken contrite heart he won't despise that and it's it's just a time that we really need the intimate with him we need him to heal our hearts and in that place we need to catch his vision and then we need to decree and declare forth using the full authority that he's given us to see this breakthrough because this season is here of fulfillment the season is here of change the season is here of increase in the season is here of favor so just be encouraged guys and in this place I've even found myself like hungry a lot for like prophetic words and affirmation from men of the things that I've heard from God and and I feel like that's God like kind of corrected me he's like it's good to seek confirmation it's good to seek like affirming words but are we seeking the word himself because that's what it's about it's a posture of heart to seek the word himself Jesus first before anything and anyone else and so I just really believe that the Lord is teaching us to choose intimacy over our circumstances to choose to look at him over what things circumstantially look like because we are going to need that in the next season so I just encourage you guys be expectant he's been speaking me recently about how how to not have expectation but be so expectant because what he's going to do is truly going to blow every box we have and be more than we asked thought or imagined so increase your inspect expectancy and open your heart wide for what the Lord is wanting to do in this time so

case it anybody wanted to book me for speaking and I also put a link for a link to so into my ministry because something people have been asking for so God's been stirring in my heart to do it and there that is so thanks so much for listening guys be encouraged and start putting in the comments your testimonies to encourage others because I do believe the Lord is going to break through like
