Hey guys I have had a word brewing inside me for a while now I'm super excited to release it and actually since the last time I put a word the Lord has been speaking to me about this and has just been speaking over and over again about child likeness and how the church needs to return back to being like a child again and I was talking about the Lord like why is that so important why does this keep coming up and then recently in worship it just kind of hit me and he encountered me and it's like all these things that started happening with the coronavirus it is so important it's like a cure and this time for us to remain childlike before the Lord and there's a scripture that he led me to Psalm 8 2 and it says through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies to silence the foe and the Avenger another translation says your childlike praise silences enemy and in this time that is key that we stay in childlike worship and praise and that trust that position of heart before the Lord so that he can silence the enemy through that and I saw a vision and worship where I was like had my arms crossed and I was thinking I was kind of closed and I feel like that report was a representation of the church right now that a lot of us have so much going on people are losing their jobs all these different things and we're trying to figure things out and we have fear and things that are causing us to be closed and I saw the Lord come up and he put his arms through where my arms were closed and then he grabbed me and he hugged me really close and I really believe that's what he's wanting more than anything in this time a call back to closeness and intimacy that he would be able to hold us again like his children and there's a couple of scriptures that I wanted to share that go along with that and how he cradles us and there's one that Psalm 22 10 it says yet you brought me out of the womb you made me trust and you even at my mother's breasts from birth I was cast on you from my mother's womb you have been my god and there's someone sixteen six the Lord protects those of childlike faith I was facing death and he saved me that scripture is key right now he protects those with childlike faith and even when we're facing death he saves us there's something else that I heard that was really encouraging at church recently they said that for all for the virus to keep spreading and to impact a body there has to be someone hosting it you have to have it the virus has to have a host how can we host any virus when we are hosting the Holy Spirit I thought that was so encouraging I am already a host of the Holy Ghost so how could anything else be hosted within my dimple I love that there is recently while I was praying about it as well the Lord encountered me and he started off by having me take communion and I was just taking authority and making declarations and just declaring that the blood of Jesus was over my door and everyone in my family in my temple and my family members temples and that the virus can touch us and I feel like that is something that he's doing to teaching us to step in to that authority that comes from childlike belief and so as all this is happening he leads me through Romans and he is highlighting all these verses to me that are for the church right now and there is one that's Romans 4:8 and it says blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them and it was just blowing my mind as I read through this how much authority and how much healing we've been given in the blood of Jesus that the blood that that ours that we could be sinless and blameless in righteous before the Lord without fault against us that's what scripture says and I'm meditating on this and I'm like God I don't understand you said that our sins have been covered by the blood you said that we are perfect and righteous before you and the blood of Jesus why then do things like this virus keep going why does the world look like what it looks like today because if we're truly blameless and righteous we could have no disease and no sickness because sickness is a repercussion it is a fruit of sin entering the world in the Garden of Eden there was no sickness and that was a perfect will of God manifests it on earth in men and so any sickness that we encounter is a direct result of sin so if you're saying in the Bible which he does that we are sinless and blameless in the Lord then why is it does it look like what it does right now Lord and so I'm talking the Lord about this and he replied to me and he said Nicole because there are very few that just believe and that hit me I was like wow God let me be one that just believes I want then this is a prayer that I pray frequently I want to live the full reward of what Jesus paid for us to live in on the cross and I'm thinking through all this and I and I once heard a sermon that just blew my mind and it talked about how it says that Jesus received 39 lashes well 39 if you can trace back like every sickness in the world to 39 roots and so he literally took every sickness upon him with 39 lashes so that we could be whole and so that we didn't have to suffer any disease on this earth and I heard that there is a woman in this sermon there's a woman that will when there someone that's sick or when someone is near death or all these things happen she'll say there's a ribbon for that and the reason she says there's a ribbon for that is because when they used to lash the thing that they used to lash Jesus the Roman soldiers back in the day it was like it would ribbon the flesh and the flesh would come off that's how it can say that Jesus was beaten beyond recognition and so as she'll say there there's a ribbon for that like there's a ribbon from from the body of Jesus that paid for that for you to be healed and for you to be whole and I think that is so applicable to what we're going through right now I can give us a bold confidence that we have nothing to fear because that's been paid for on our behalf there's another scripture he led me to that's Romans 4 9 and it says is this blessing then only for the circumcised or also for the uncircumcised for we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness and so that right there the Lord spoke to me clearly he said it's available to all who believe so all this fullness that's within Scripture of us being able to be disease-free of us being able to be fully righteous before the throne of God it's available to all who believe and then there's Romans 5:17 it says for if because one man's trespass death reigned through that one man much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ so that to me points to some amazing promises that we can have so much unshakable confidence and in this time one it says death doesn't hold us in its grip any more whatsoever death has no authority over us any more it says because death reigned through that one man Adam how much more will we reign in life it also says in this that we're being held it says for those who receive the abundance of grace like we're being held in the Lord like my life is hidden in God in Jesus Christ that's what scripture says and it also says I will reign in life if we are reigning think about a person that is reigning in the world a king he is full of confidence knowing the authority and the power that he has in the land that is what we are called to that is authority we have been given we're in times of chaos in times of trouble we can be filled with confidence and not only confidence but we can step into ruling and reigning and making the crease and seeing the will of God come forth into the land there's something else I was really on my heart to share that the Lord just kind of spoke to me really clearly about one day I have just super blessed in this time to be really prospering inside and out in all the ways which I believe is something that God has promised us in his kids that we would prosper in times like this and I was just talking the Lord about what was going on and and I saw like some co-workers and some of my friends just kind of going into a little bit of chaos and fear and I'm just like God what's going on and I felt like he spoke to me about what it means to have something be your master and he said whatever you fear you serve essentially whatever you fear is your master and of course I just want to be really clear there is wisdom just because I'm saying let's be totally radical bold and confident and so fearless yes absolutely we can partner that with wisdom if for instance social distancing I totally for that I am NOT going out into public places unless I have to for groceries I think those that's wisdom and that's practicality that we can partner with along with that boldness because that's how the infection spreads so let's use common sense along that social distancing great but whatever you fear is what you serve and so it just hit me I'm like that's how I can have such confidence in this time because death is not something I fear death is not my master Jesus is this virus is not something I fear it's not my master Jesus is and that is the confidence that we can have and we can put that the fear in that place also fear is not my master I most definitely will not serve fear I serve Jesus and so that is what our position needs to be to rise up as an empowered body and this time this is our time to shine in the place where chaos comes we have the light of the world we have the answer to the chaos and that's Jesus what he paid for us to live in that's being a child of God this is a time when we can be lighthouses to everyone with all that's going on because we have an answer against death against fear we have an answer that triumphs over all of that against disease what a privilege what a privilege it is to be a Christian in this time and to be able to rise up full of confidence in faith with God and before God and we get to bring people into that how awesome is that and so I just feel like there is a lot of people that the enemy is trying to strike even like subconsciously and slowly just kind of infiltrate with fear and I just feel like God is saying put your fear back in the right place so all that it is is there's fear that's being misplaced it's being put again in this virus it's fear of finances fear of all these different things you just need to take that fear and put it right back into the right place of fear all reverence of God and just on on that note I don't we don't have to fear death whatsoever like if we literally think about this what is the worst that could happen okay coronavirus could kill me that is the absolute worst that could happen but for us that means being face to face before God who is the epitome of perfection who is everything we could ever want in need who is all he is all in his and all and us being in his presence is not a bad thing so that is a we can doubtful confidence we don't fear death either there's one other scripture that I felt like he wanted me to share and it I'm just wrecked by the reality that this is not our home sorry side note that's free this is not our home this mortal body will pass but being before him in glory forever that is not something to fear friends that's something to be excited about so the scripture that I wanted me to share his Romans 5 20 through 21 and it says the law was brought in so that the trespass might increase but where sin increased grace increased all the more so that just as sin reigned in death so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord so again we have this theme of reigning in life right like grace increased where sin increased grace increased even more and so we can have confidence in that that we can reign in righteousness even in this time so how does God's grace triumph and how does sin conquering grace reign through us through us in this time so don't give in to the orphan mentality don't carry the fear internally that you're not going to have enough or that this virus might hurt you you don't have to carry that because your dad is good and he's a good father and you are his child and he has you taken care of so be his kid step into that prosperity and provision of being his child he's not going to abandon you and walk away in this time he's close he's so close in this time there was a scripture that says the kingdom of God is at hand and I studied that and at hand in their original language means to join one thing to another it's literally saying the kingdom of God has been joined to you you're one with it the kingdom of God is at hand so one of the other ways I really feel like we can rule and reign and this time just practically is by guarding our thoughts and guarding the words that we say so Romans 8:6 it says the mind governed by the flesh is death but the mind governed by the spirit is life in peace so even though the enemy's trying to come in subtly with all these lives and all these fears and and threats we can be clear in knowing that Wow it's so obvious when we see that are we thinking thoughts that result in death or darkness or disease or are we thinking thoughts that lead us to life and peace do you feel filled with life and peace right now because that is a sure way to tell what your thoughts who you're actually listening - are you listening to the demonic are you listening to Jesus because if you're listening to Jesus you'll be filled with life in peace so just taking authority not even around us but in our own minds also and I just also really felt like we are called to be ones that have a moveable deeply rooted joy in this time and joy and happiness are different so happiness is not like well happiness is fleeting happiness is a feeling but joy is deep joy is not based on circumstances or what things look like it's it's deeply rooted and it says that Jesus was anointed with joy above all of his fellowmen so if Jesus was anointed above everyone with joy we carry him within us we are joined as one in union with Jesus so how much more should we be filled with that deeply-rooted joy that's beyond circumstantial in a time like this it's something else that I heard that was so encouraging that I wanted to share was that the story of Jezebel and how Jezebel only had threats and Elijah ran from that but all that she had was a threat and in this time I feel like the enemy and the news and all these things are throwing out all these threats to intimidate and to cause us to shrink back and run from our place and authority in the spirit but what we need to do with those threats that come out us it's like it's like news and so we need to send news back and make declarations of the exact opposite we have the power to co-create with God he has given us Authority it like it says in the scripture that we have been made just a little under angels like we have the authority we've been given the land to rule and reign as kings and queens as as daughters and sons in earth and so we need to be decree the opposite of these threats that are coming towards the world and towards the body of Christ there is power there's so much power in our tongues to create and I just want to really declare to you guys also we as the body of Christ as the church are called to live in provision and prosperity during famine and that is a promise that we can cling to that I'm seeing manifested in my life and that's psalm 37 19 it says in times of disaster they will not wither in days of famine they will enjoy plenty another word is abundance so we can have abundance in a time where the world is that famine because of who our data is which is amazing and we should live in that and receive a wholeness of in times like this I also want to encourage you guys I really sense that there's so many idols bowing in this time because they have to and it's amazing so idols of significance idols of success idols of ministry idols of work idols of production I all of these idols or we can put our identity in these things where you can put all of our eggs in this basket idols of Mammon idols of money all of these different idols are bowing even even like being like social or different relationships like all these things are bowing before the Lord and this is a time where he wants the entirety of your heart he wants to bring you back into true intimacy with him where everything else has been taken away and it's just you in him and there's a scripture that he spoke to me while I was receiving all this and it says for the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him so there's a returning back to the Lord right now he's looking for those of us in a time when we've lost our jobs when everything's in chaos when we don't know if therapy enough he's looking for hearts that are fully committed to him because he wants to encounter us and bring us back in such a real tangible way that second chronicles 16:9 so I felt like he said that this is not supposed to just be a time of stripping but of strengthening because it says that he's looking for those fully committed to him to strengthen them so that's his will in this time and a time when things are being stripped he wants to encounter us receive the fullness of our hearts and give us strength in that place so guys I just want to encourage you in this time rise up filled with childlike faith full of belief and reign with authority that you've been given I love you guys thank you so much for listening sorry this was longer matches felt like the Lord really wanted me to share it just gets me amped up the time we're in and all that he's given us in times like this so I think that it is so important that your soul would be prospering in this time like that scripture says you will prosper as your soul prospers I believe that the Lord has used so many tools and encountered me so much with his heart that he's gotten my soul to a place where it's prospering and so I want to help you guys if you're struggling to bring get your soul back to that place of prospering so that you'll prosper everywhere else so if that's you just go to my page Nicole some audio calm and the contact page you can email me and ask about our mentorship program that is my heart for you that you would prosper with all that Jesus has paid for us to have so you can contact me there about that love you guys bless you be strengthened be encouraged and shine like you're created to in this time
