In this episode, Nici Mathis teaches from Jeremiah 33:20–21 (NLT), revealing how God’s covenants are legally binding and eternally recorded in the Courts of Heaven. Just as property covenants are filed and upheld by law, God’s Word stands firm—unbreakable and unchangeable. Drawing from Robert Henderson’s book The Courts of Heaven, available at https://a.co/d/2riefll, Nici explains that prayer is not begging for mercy but presenting a legal petition before the Judge of Heaven based on the covenant sealed in the blood of Jesus.

When believers pray Scripture, they align their petitions with Heaven’s record, and the Holy Spirit—Heaven’s own stenographer—records every decree of faith. God’s promises cannot fail, and His Word stands as the final ruling over every case in our lives.

In this episode of The Clarion Call, Nici Mathis teaches how to pray with power and precision by aligning every request with the Word of God. Drawing from Lionheart Church’s 3-Day Fast and Daily Prayer guides, she walks listeners through the process of “praying perfectly in your known tongue” — using scripture as the foundation for every petition. Nici explains how Heaven recognizes God’s Word as legal proof, how angels hearken when His Word is spoken, and how every Word-based prayer becomes a recorded entry in the Book of Remembrance. Through personal testimony, biblical examples, and step-by-step instruction, listeners learn to write their own prayer points and legislate Heaven’s will on Earth.

In this powerful episode, Nici Mathis teaches from Jeremiah 23:18, exposing the difference between false counsel and true prophetic insight. She unpacks how to discern the voice of God in an age where many speak for Him without ever standing in His presence. Drawing from the interlinear Hebrew breakdown, Nici reveals how the word “hear” (שָׁמַע — shama‘) means more than sound—it means to perceive, to see, and to be seen.

Listeners will discover that hearing God is not passive—it’s prophetic perception that opens spiritual sight. Through comparing the NKJV and NLT translations, she highlights that godly counsel requires both position and compassion—to stand before Him and to care enough to listen. This episode challenges believers to move from assumption to alignment, from noise to intimacy, and to posture themselves daily in the Lord’s presence to receive His secret counsel.

In this continuation of “Ungodly Counsel,” Nici Mathis unpacks how to silence, discern, and dismantle the wrong voices influencing your decisions. Drawing from Psalm 1:1–3, John 10:27, and Romans 12:2, she explains that every believer must learn to test what they hear — whether it’s divine, human, or demonic in origin. Through scriptural insight and practical deliverance principles, Nici exposes how ungodly counsel enters through the ear gate, forms word covenants, and subtly leads to confusion, fear, and stagnation.

Listeners are challenged to recognize the fruit of every voice, repent for ungodly agreements, and replace wrong reasoning with the truth of God’s Word. Nici closes with a prayer of renunciation and renewal, teaching that divine wisdom can only flourish when believers stop feeding on demonic reasoning.

In this eye-opening devotional, Nici Mathis dives deep into Psalm 1:1–3 and John 10:1–5, teaching how the voices we entertain—friends, family, culture, or even our own emotions—can either anchor us in truth or lead us away from God’s plan. Using the Hebrew interlinear concordance from the Blue Letter Bible, Nici breaks down key words like counsel (ʿētsāh), ungodly (rāshāʿ), and meditate (hāgāh) to reveal the spiritual progression from walking to standing to sitting under ungodly influence.

Through biblical examples like Eve and the serpent, Rehoboam and his peers, Job’s wife, Peter’s misplaced compassion, and the spies in the wilderness, she shows how wrong voices produce wrong fruit. In contrast, the right counsel—God’s Word—roots us like trees planted by living water.

Nici challenges listeners to discern every conversation, renounce unholy agreements, and train their ears to recognize the Shepherd’s true tone amidst the noise of life.

In this episode, Nici Mathis teaches how obedience is God’s test of trust. Through the stories of Gideon, Peter, and the widow at Zarephath, we see that every divine instruction reveals what’s in our hearts and positions us for breakthrough. When you obey even when it’s uncomfortable, God turns reduction into victory, repetition into revelation, and scarcity into supply.

In this heartfelt 5AM devotional, Nici Mathis unpacks how subtle pride can show up through dismissiveness—those small shrugs, sighs, and “whatever” moments that send away what Heaven sent to sanctify us. Building from her own story of brushing off her husband’s gentle reminder, she shows how easily we can dismiss the Holy Spirit the same way.

Through wisdom from Dr. Emerson Eggerichs’ Cracking the Communication Code, Nici reveals how the “dismiss and withdraw” cycle destroys intimacy, not only in marriage but in our relationship with God. Using fresh biblical examples like Hagar, Martha, the Rich Young Ruler, Balaam, and Peter, she shows how pride often hides behind politeness and experience.

Listeners are challenged to stop editing divine instruction for comfort and to honor God’s voice even when it comes through familiar vessels.
