The word
God just needs you to BELIEVE!!!
Of course, God is always calling you to surrender and obey whatever He is telling you to do…
But trying to make it happen yourself, compromising or settling actually hinders and DELAYS the promise He wants to give you!
If you’ve been doing that, REPENT and believe that HE WILL DO IT IN HIS TIME!
Entrust your times and seasons to Him! Fully believe that HE IS GOOD and HE WILL BE FAITHFUL to do what He promised!
God is calling you to fully BELIEVE again and to start NEW with childlike faith! Let GO of the past and leave the disappointments behind!
BELIEVE that God is GOOD and He WILL do what He said He will do!
And remember: DELAY IS NOT DENIAL!
What we perceive as delay is often just preparation and the process He has us in on the way to the promise!
You are on the way with Him my friend!!!

Many of you are in a place of waiting and contending for your promise or promises of the Lord for a really long time. And because of what God has shown me about this, he's leading me to do a little mini-series on belief. What that actually is, what it looks like, how to implement it in your life, and also how important it is in this season. He is calling us back to belief.
And I personally have been waiting for a promise from the Lord that he's spoken to me and confirmed over and over again for 13 years. And along the way I have had so many disappointments and I really wrestled with the Lord about this promise throughout the years and recently I was deeply convicted and the Holy Spirit spoke to me something that I believe he is speaking to you right now and to the body of Christ. And um I realized that I had stopped believing. Um I had definitely stopped believing wholeheartedly and I would settle again and again and again and I would try to convince myself I wasn't settling, but I was settling for things and for people that were not what God had for me and not what God had promised me and in a lot of ways it was less than what he had for me and brought on so much heart sickness and heartbrokenness and disappointment along the way that didn't need to be there because of this.
And God told me, "Nicole, I don't need your help. I don't need your help for the promise to come to pass. I'm going to do it. I just need you to believe." And of course God is always calling us to surrender.
He's always calling us to obey whatever he's telling us to do, but he doesn't need us to try to make anything happen in and of ourselves or in our own strength. And I realized that I in my settling and trying to help God in certain ways, I was actually hindering the process. I was actually making it take even longer than it needed to take and I was hindering the process of him bringing the promise to me. And I believe he is speaking to us in this time that he will be the one to do it in his time.
And we have to submit our times and seasons into his hands and he is truly calling us to wholeheartedly believe again. And to start anew with childlike faith. Children don't keep a record of wrongs. They don't keep, you know, a history log and all these disappointments.
They start brand new every single day and that is the childlike faith that the Lord is calling us into in this season. Just belief that he is good and he will do what he said that he will do. And he wants us to remember that delay is not denial. And often times what looks like delay to us is actually his process.
It's actually his preparation in the process to get to where he promised us we're going. And in the next video, I will break down what belief really is and what faith actually is according to scripture, which is extremely important. I love to help to empower the body with the practicals cuz that's important. So, if you need help with the practicals, if you need help with overcoming disappointment or overcoming certain cycles that keep happening in your life over and over again or overcoming doubt and walking out this kind of belief in your everyday life.
