The More Than Prophetic Word

Hey guys so recently I had a vision that I felt like was for the church and in the vision I was surrendering my clock to the Lord and I knew that it represented my timing for my life and my will and how I wanted things to go in my life and my dreams and desires everything so I threw this clock at his feet in surrender and worship and it broke into tiny bits and this second that I thought that happened he gave me a clock and I received it and I was like whoa because it was going off it was ringing ringing ringing like one of those old-time clocks were you set an alarm and so I was like he had set an alarm and the time was now and so I received the clock and I felt like the Lord was saying that in this time like it's time for what he has for us and as soon as we surrender he's going to give it to us and the and I just felt like he was saying it's going to be unexpected like it's not going to be what we thought or even maybe what we imagined or desired but it's going to be way far above that and beyond that just like his will always is and I just felt like this time was going to be filled with such a time as this moment's for the church like Esther like she didn't imagine that she would save all the Jews one day that God would use her to do that but that was what he had for her and so I feel like a lot of people are probably going to be surprised by what the Lord would have them doing this time and what he's going to be handing them but they're going to know that it's him so the Lord is doing a lot of new things in this time and and I just feel like he's really saying surrender is key it's everything and it always is but especially in this time and how he's moving and wanting to move and he reminded me of this vision that I had when I first got saved and I was like wrestling and didn't understand what was going on and he showed me noodles like I love the way he speaks there's noodles that weren't cooked and so of course they're brittle and hard like heart of heart and as soon as you try to move them they break and I and then he showed me another vision these noodles that had been cooked you know under the pressure and fire and they were just so malleable and you barely tried to move them and they're just flopping around everywhere and so I felt like the Lord was saying be like those noodles like be so surrendered to me be so cooked in my presence and my fire that you'll just go anywhere that I can barely move you and you come with me and that reminds me of that scripture where it says do not be like a stubborn mule when I try to lead you somewhere I've never taken you and I wanted to share some scriptures that I felt like go along with this and the surrender and what he's wanting in this time so the first one is Psalm 31 15 and it says but I trust in You Lord I say you are my God my times my future the course of my life my destiny my Lots is what my times means are in your hands deliver me from the hands of my enemies from those who pursue me another one I want to share is Daniel 221 it says he changes the times and seasons he removes kings and establishes them he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning and then another one I felt like you wanted me shares in Ecclesiastes 3 where it's talking about there's a time for everything a season for everything under the heavens and then the part that he really had stood out to me is it says he makes everything beautiful and it's time and I just felt like the Lord was saying the things that you know like that clock of our own will in our own timing he's going to make that beautiful in its time and in the meantime he's going to give you something beautiful as well and so another one I wanted to share that really helped me and encouraged me through this time of surrendering was Romans 8 27 it says God the searcher of the heart knows fully our longings yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for whose holy ones in perfect harmony with God's plan in our destiny and then I wanted to read the passion translation footnotes for that because it really spoke to me God the heart searcher so God searches our hearts not just to uncover what is wrong but to fulfill the true desire of our hearts to be fully His grace triumphs over justice this really spoke to me because it told me like God knows the desires of my heart but the deepest desire of my heart my greatest heart's desire is to be fully his and so he sees past everything on the surface to the greatest desire my heart which is also his greatest desire of his heart that I would know him and he works all of that together into the destiny and plan for my life and is working that out even now and so I can take comfort in that and know that I'm not missing it that he's working at all like my desires my longings and my greatest is are in longings his desires and longings for my destiny all together in my life so then I saw another vision that I wanted to share and in this vision it's like I had buried the desires and dreams that I had as a seed in the ground and I was like it was like I was trying to uproot them and the Lord told me let it be buried to grow and if like if a sea doesn't bear you can't germinate and then produce fruit and produce the plant and so I feel like this is just a testing time in our hearts like the Lord's question to us is are you ready to say yes and it's a real testing of our hearts of is it really about his will and not our own like will we really surrender that to him and I feel like this past season was a real like a lot of junk got cleared up out of our hearts and there's a real invitation in this season for it to just be about you and Jesus again for it to just be the simple gospel again for it to just be about knowing him and I was and I'm in a Bible study and in the Bible study we all went around and answered the questions who is Jesus to you who is Holy Spirit whose father God to you and when we got to Jesus we all shared and when it got to me I I I couldn't speak I just wept because I was so moved I feel it now I like it so moved by who he is and all that he's done his kindness and His mercy and just everything and I felt like for me um the Lord is returning me to that heart cry and I really do feel like it's an invitation for the whole body um that we would return to it just being about knowing it and nothing else so I wanted to read the scripture that I feel like he's wanting to return us to that's always burned in my heart and it's um Philippians 3:7 through part of 9 and I'm going to read it in the amp first so but whatever former things were gains to me as I thought then these things once regarded as advancements in merit I have come to consider as a loss absolutely worthless for the sake of Christ and the purpose which he has given my life but more than that I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and I'm growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with him a joy unequaled for his sake I have lost everything and I consider it all garbage so that I may gain Christ and then the passion translation I always I also wanted to share the version of that it says to truly know him meant letting go of everything from my past and throwing all of my boasting on the garbage heap it's all like a pile of manure to me now so that I may be enriched in the reality of knowing Jesus Christ and embracing him as Lord in all of his greatness so this has just been something that he's burning in my heart and a real imitation that he's inviting us to fully partake and just that we would find our wholeness in him alone in him alone again because truly that is the only reality of wholeness that is available that's accessible that's real only wholeness can be found in him him alone wholeness in her heart's wholeness in our lives wholeness of our desires it's in him alone and he's really wanting to return us to that reality and something that I felt like he wanted me to share that goes along with that is I feel like a lot of times especially in our culture in our generation we're so focused on success and we're so focused on making that making it and whatever kind of capacity where we feel we're called to our destiny we're so focused on making it and being successful in this generation and there's so much pressure for that and just personally recently I I just had a couple really rough days at work and just trying to achieve what I've been wanting to achieve and I I just tanked like I felt like I completely failed and I was processing it with the Lord and like God why is this affecting me so deeply and I felt like he's wanting to redefine success not only for me but for the church his body and he really challenged me in that place he said Nicole I'm so proud of you and I was like how are you proud of me my dad would tell me that all the time growing up even when I felt like I failed miserably he would say Nicole I'm so proud of you and I would always respond him the same way how could he be proud of me I failed and I'm talking to God the same way and God said Nicole you were successful because you did it with me what's your version of success and I was so deeply challenged and shaken in the best way because I was like well obviously it wasn't yours and I'm gonna realign myself to that success to him is simply doing something with him it's not about achieving or what success looks like to the world it's doing it with him and I was struggling so much because I was like questioning I was like God but that those whole two days I was doing everything with you I was having great quiet time I was aware of your presence why didn't you come through why didn't you make me successful and I just had the wrong version of success the wrong definition and I'm so grateful for his correction he truly does correct the ones that he loves and then he was just doing some farther healing in me and I was like you know god I feel like a failure and he said Jesus just looked me in the eyes and he said Nicole did I fail was I have failure and it challenged my heart again and I was like well of course not like you had the greatest victory of all time Jesus and he spoke to me some more and he said you get to be a part of that you get to take part and take on forever my victory my identity all that I've done for eternity you get to run into and hide in me and we will forever be victorious this is how I can work all things for your good there is no failure in me and that has rocked my world and I feel like he wants to give that he wants to give us that definite of success in our hearts that success is doing it with him and there is no failure in him in the finished work of a cross so yeah I just I just release what he's been doing in my heart just that it would be all about him and our returning to what true success is knowing him and doing it with him and I release that to you guys and I just say be encouraged because what he's doing inside of us is so much more valuable than gold and it's so much greater than anything that we've thought are imagined I love you guys thanks for listening I also did want to announce that I'm going to I had an amazing opportunity I'm so honored there is a famous evangelist named Anwar Faisal I hope I'm I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly but he has led millions to Jesus and God is using him super powerfully to bring the gospel to the darkest places in the Middle East he's also a CEO of atella a television channel it's called Isaac and so many so many more things he's he's really making a huge impact in the kingdom and on bringing bringing it to earth and so I get to interview him for the channel and hopefully prophesy with him and I just want to let you guys know so you can tune in and also just if you feel led for to book me to come speak at your church or ministry I love sharing the heart of God and the word of the Lord for people and if you would like so into the ministry that's also on the website so I love you guys bless you let him go deep and go deep with him and
