Hey guys recently I was in worship and the Lord led me to Hosea 2 and I felt like there's a remnant of people in the church I've just been really weary and are coming out of a hard wilderness season where the Lord thoroughly thoroughly sifted their hearts and in Hosea - the Lord is talking about how Israel has been an adulteress and her heart straight from the Lord and God says that he will block her path and she won't catch or find her lovers anymore and it says that Israel looked to her husband that wasn't the Lord as as he fulfilled all of her needs when in reality it was the Lord who was fulfilling all of her needs the whole time and where I feel that's where I feel like we were and where God has taken us was Hosea 2:14 and he says therefore I am now going to lure her I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her there and so I feel like for this remnant of people there were idols in our hearts some were unaware some are aware but these idols in our hearts looked like ministry or it looked like dreams that we've had or it looked like a significant other or it looked like a job or you know all these different things that had taken his place in our hearts that we had looked to to meet our needs and because of that the Lord lured us into a wilderness like he did Jesus and really sifted our hearts in that place to remove other names from it and at just a Holy Spirit when Jesus had the time where he got baptized and this in the sky split open and God said this is my son whom I am well-pleased Holy Spirit led him straight into a wilderness and in the same way I feel like a lot of us were in a place where maybe we're stepping into calling maybe we were stepping into different things and boom all of a sudden the Lord leads us into a wilderness and starts dealing with our hearts and in this place it was really I feel like the Lord wanted me to share that it's out of his kind and his goodness for us that he leads us into the wilderness he actually showed me a vision a few months ago that the Lord told me to share now in this video and in the vision I was just really wrestling with the Lord and I was I was telling God why why have I been in this place for so long I felt so isolated I felt so alone I felt so hidden and not in the place I know that I'm called to and why and I was just wrestling with him and crying and he showed me this vision of me being out at sea and I was on this little raft and I was so thirsty and just suffering like God why and I'm like throwing up all over this little raft trying to survive and I actually saw the Lord there his hand was covering me in that place and he said I led you out here to cover your honor to cover your your name and I saw that while that was happening my heart opened up and things fell out of my heart into the sea and there are things where I needed healing and things of pain and different things and as they fell out into the sea the Lord told me it's a sea of forgetfulness and there are other things he showed me as well but he he was showing me that those things that need to be dealt in my heart dealt with in my heart can only be done if he were to do what he had done the way that he did so it was it's really out of his kindness and goodness that he leads us to that place to be able to deal with the depths of our heart and prepare us for what's coming and in that place I saw this little duh planned on on the raft and it had a little olive branch and the Lord began to speak to me about promise of the promises that he's given me will come to pass and that there is land and I feel like that is where we are currently coming into right now where we are at currently is hosea 215 and he says I will give her back her vineyard and we'll make the valley of a core or treble a door of hope I feel like that's what he's doing right now he's restoring hope to us there she will respond as in the days of her youth as in the day she came up out of Egypt in that day declares the Lord you will call me my husband and will no longer call me my master and so there's a connotation of tender affection as opposed to Stern Authority and we're coming into knowing him intimately as a husband and how everything comes from him truly and in really returning to her first love and then he says I will remove the name of balls from her lips no longer will their names be invoked and I feel like that's currently what he's doing just totally has removed those idols from our hearts and even their very names from our lips and then in 218 he says that he will abolish the battle in the land and when I read that I was like oh my goodness just months prior he had really highlighted to me some 46:9 and then 46:9 he says the same thing he says I he makes Wars to cease to the ends of the earth he breaks the bow and shatters the spear and the Lord and that time spoke to me super clearly he said Nicole I am ceasing the battle I am ceasing the war that has happened in your life and it's been happening and I feel like that is a part of this word to this remnant that's weary and coming out of the desert he's saying I have ceased the battle I am the God who causes Wars to cease and what I feel like we are coming into now is Hosea 2:19 through 20 he says I will be trove you to me forever I will be truth you in righteousness and justice in love and compassion I will be truth you in faithfulness and you will acknowledge the Lord and so I write where he's bringing us into right now I believe is a revelation of what it is to be married to him the God who is loving who is just who is compassionate and who is faithful faithful to his word faithful to our hearts faithful to his promises and we're coming into knowing that revelation not just in our heads in our hearts from experience from experiencial knowledge in our hearts from things happening on this earth where the Lord is going to manifest himself in those ways to us and and I just really felt the Lord telling me to talk about the importance of declaring that in this season the importance of our words in this season the Bible says that we will eat the fruit of our words and our words literally frame up our life and and the Bible also says that he is enthroned on our praises so if that's a place where he where he is enthroned where he takes his lordship and his Dominion then then our words need to be filled with praise and and filled with life and declaration of what what we're coming into and I and I really believe that that is seeing him for who he is manifested on this earth seeing the promises that he's bringing in to manifest it on this earth and we need to be declaring that in this time when you are speaking something it's literally impossible to speak something and think the opposite and so I feel like the Lord is really saying that our words are weapon to us in this season where I see a lot of people that are coming out of this wilderness season and our weary are there's like this haze of confusion like where am I going what's happening God where are you do you hear me and in that place I feel like the Lord is saying yield your sword yield the word yield your words right now in your own life and declare what I have promised you because the enemy cannot engage you in a place where your own words are declaring the word of the Lord so I just encourage you guys to do that in this season and this is an amazing season that we're coming into so I love you guys and thanks so much for listening
