šIntroducing Emerald album released 2017, Nicky Moranās 7th Gospel album - Featured on our Healing Wells Linktree. Please take some time to read through the powerful testimony of how this album was birthed into the earth in the words of our own beautiful Nicky herself. Our Healing Wells team is extremely blessed to have this power house ministering with us.
šHi Iām Nicky Moran a NZ singer/songwriter/speaker/gospel musician. Iām a Healing Wells and worship team member at my home church MLC. My God given mission in life is to sing in the dark places such as prisons, pubs, rehabs, mental health units, hospitals and cruise ships to bring encouragement, healing, hope and an encounter with the Lord. Also I partner with churches and parachurch groups with outreach Gospel concerts to strengthen the body. My heart is to encourage believers to rise up in faith to minister building bridges within their own local communities. I love to pray with people to impart hope, vision, and see minds, memories and bodies healed, saved and delivered.
One day after praying and drawing near I asked the Lord to sing to me with my heart full of great expectation. I wondered, are Angels going to come into my room. Is Jesus going to sit on my piano keyboard? What incredible thing will I be a part of?
Then my hands started moving in an unfamiliar pattern and sung words came out of my mouth to me in the 1stperson from the Lord. I had already pressed ārecordā in my studio and the 1st full prophetic song from heaven came āI sing over you.ā Singing into my soul I was affirmed as a daughter, as a child of God, as a person and in great depth and greatly uplifted in my core. After noting all the lyrics, I decided to remake the song with piano and vocals as I was crying at times, so touched by the presence of the Lord. The recording jammed 3 times at bar 139 on different days and I asked Him, why? He referred me to Psalm 139 that this song was an extrapolation of his heartfelt intent toward me and every individual. We added drums and orchestral backing to the piano and the track first ended up on The Way outreach album.
Later I asked the Lord to sing to me again and waited, ready knowing something wonderful was about to happen and with all my heart I tried to retain this recording without ālosing itā emotionally. It was the Lordās deep affection toward me and his affinity with my struggles and his encouragement to stay close to him and stay the course of the wonderful plans he has for my life. So peaceful, restful, fulfilling, calming, life giving. We were able to keep the vocal and piano original track and just enhance it with some lovely heavenly orchestral and choir sounds. We remade āI sing over youā without drums to be in keeping with the new flavour of the Emerald song and album.
Then I asked the Lord to sing to āusā meaning the people of God. I waited for His amazing full songs to unfold. āCome to meā and āOpen your eyesā followed, I received 1 on guitar, most on piano. Then I asked for the Lord to sing to āthemā meaning the people that don't know Him yet. Over the fullness of time He sang through me from His heart to draw in those who havenāt yet chosen Him in the form of āI am Heā and āI will be your fillā and through all these songs the Lord reveals His Trinity personalities separately singing from the Father, from Jesus and from the Holy Spirit.
Lastly I was feeling very grateful and relaxed late one night and started to pray with the recording studio on and āIām coming back Lordā was born out of a heart of rededication, realising my need for Him and wanting to draw near to Him. It came in a prophetic style, almost 19 minutes long with no obvious chorus or verses, but it doesn't get old, it just goes deep into desiring Godās heart and personal purpose. It was a deep and powerful inspired lifechanging prayer from me to Him. I felt āIām coming backā best fit was first on the album like opening up dialogue with the Lord and his replies are the next 6 songs. Developing this gift, He has given to me the blessing to sing at times from Him live over peopleās lives in personal ministry since, praying āLord would you sing to this precious oneā¦ā and He does.
The Lord showed me in a repeating dream the outline of the Emerald album cover. It was a picture of my own face reflecting serenity with my hair all wild and billowing around framing my face inside an emerald jewel, representing the song where I am a precious jewel in a ring worn on the Lords right hand. After further prayer I shared my dream with a Waikato photographer Nicola Mitchell who managed to pull off this effect as we found an authentic emerald photo to contain the face and portray the message of the song in an exotic and compelling image.
If you want to feel His heart toward you, if you want to access peace and calm, if you want to hear the Word of God personalised and sung into your heart this Emerald album is for you. I encourage you to listen in a space where the music and Godās love and comfort can wash over you. Each song is like a meal. Together they are like a smorgasbord feast. I encourage you to lie down or sit in a contemplative place and receive what He would say to you. It's like the Bible coming to life and drawing you into the heart of God. You might need tissuesā¦.Even now when I am past myself and struggling to reconnect due to allowing the busyness of life to cloud my judgement and crowd my time I put this album on and feel the Lord speaking to me afresh when Iām saying āWhere are you Lordā or āSpeak to me Lordā, āI need to hear youā¦feel youā¦sense you close to me. It's like He suggestsā¦.āHereās one I prepared earlier.ā May Emerald bless your heart and bring you close to Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit for the first time or in a fresh way to revel in His grace, goodness and undying love for you.
