I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘DO NOT COWER, YOU ARE COMING FORTH’

Over the last week I have been feeling an increase in spiritual warfare against many. They have been feeling an increase in resistance and opposition coming against them and I could feel the pressure of intimidation, fear, intense discouragement and despair attempting to entangle many right now.

As I leaned into the Lord and listened to His heart, I heard the Lord say:

‘Do not cower, you are coming forth.’

COWER DEFINITION: crouch down in fear.
SYNONYMS: recoil, pull back, shrink, back away, draw back.
(Google)

I could see this intense pressure coming against many from many directions and I could hear many crying out how they were feeling ‘under’ this heaviness and attack. The pressure to crouch down, pull back, shrink, back away, lay down tools and compromise the blueprint the Lord has given to them was strong.

As I leaned into the Lord and listened, I heard Psalm 121 loudly in the spirit.

‘I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

‘The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.’

‘My people, lift up your eyes, lift up your eyes, exalt Me and worship Me, for I am your help, your refuge, your strength. Shut out the noise, look away from the battle and lift your eyes to Me. Worship Me, look to Me, for here is great supernatural strengthening and resilience that I am bringing forth within you in this hour by the power of My hand.

‘I say unto you that where the enemy is attempting to bring chaos and the chaos is like a cloud hovering over you heavily; I say unto you, look to Me, lift up Your voice to Me, for where does your help come from? For I have already given you the victory and I am bringing you above the storm in your perspective and in your focus. For you are seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6) and there is a great overcoming taking place in this hour – as you press through, as you look to Me, as you do not cower – there is a great overcoming of the familiar attacks and the familiar spirits that have attempted to keep you contained, hidden and bound.

‘I say unto you that I am leading you deeper in this hour in the Refiner’s fire to repent and shake off where your attention and alignment of heart in faith has been given to things that are not in line with Me, what I am speaking and My Word.

‘I say unto you that you may sense, see and feel chaos all around, but as you block out the noise, as you come deeper into the secret place and look to Me and listen to that which I am speaking – praising from the place of victory – you are going to see the cloud of chaos break and I am bringing you into new realms of CLARITY for the new chapter. Where you have felt like chaos has been all around, I say unto you, that I am bringing you into deeper realms of knowing My peace, My shalom and My strength in the overcoming. I say unto you that where the enemy is attempting to cause you to cower in this hour, I say unto you, that this is the hour of a greater COMING FORTH into who you are in Me, and the destiny that I have written over your lives.

‘I say unto you, there is always turbulence at the threshold. Do not be discouraged by the turbulence, but look to Me and see that you are coming up higher. Look to Me and see what I am doing in you in training you to stand and stand in faith; to hear and perceive what I am speaking and what I am doing and to move into depths of discernment that you have not walked in before. Where confusion has attempted to contain you, I say unto you, that as you lift up a shout of praise and as you look to Me, you shall see with greater clarity than you have seen.

‘I say unto you, in this hour it is imperative that you are listening to what I am speaking and what I am revealing, and do not look at the natural realm and take it at face value. For I say unto you, I am revealing much in this hour that has been hidden in plain sight which has attempted to contain you and confine you. This is an hour of mighty deliverance for you to run in greater ways in all that I have called you to in this season.

‘For I say unto you, that I am bringing forth DISCERNMENT FOR DIRECTION right now. Fast and pray and seek Me for I am bringing forth DISCERNMENT FOR DIRECTION for this new chapter that I am leading you into. I say unto you, that the enemy is attempting to bring a DERAILMENT OF DIRECTION in your lives, but I am exposing and revealing the tactics and ploys of the enemy as you come to Me, and I am bringing you into greater realms of discernment for the direction that I am giving you in this hour. I say unto you, trust Me and trust where I am leading you and the direction that I am giving you. For I am leading you into unknown places. I am leading you into unexplored territories that you have not walked in before. I am bringing you into lands of inheritance that I have assigned to you.

‘I say unto you, I am moving you, My people – as you listen and lean into My voice and do not cower in this hour – into lands of inheritance that I have assigned to you and are part of your destiny in Me. I say unto you, that the warfare has increased significantly because I am bringing you into the new chapter of APPREHENDING these lands of inheritance that I have assigned to you. There are giants at the gates of these new lands, but I say unto you; I have ALREADY given you the victory in Me. As you walk from this place of revelation – that you are a glorious, victorious child of Mine – the giants will be your bread (Num 14:9).

‘I say unto you, I am sharpening your perspective. I am purifying your perspective. I am purifying how you see, for this is a great moment of overcoming and coming forth. This is an hour where I am raising up the glorious, victorious Bride, but she must stop cowering. You must partner with Me in this hour and the work of My Spirit within you to bring you forth with greater levels of boldness and courage than you have known. I am baptising you afresh in boldness and courage to move into the new assignments and new lands of inheritance that I have for you.

‘The rain of My Spirit is falling in this hour upon seeds of obedience to My ways that is going to bring forth a fruitfulness and harvest that you have not seen before. My rain is refreshing, strengthening and bringing increase to the places where My people have laid down their own agendas, their own ways, expectations and assumptions of how I will move and what it will look like. I am watering the seeds of obedience to My leading that is going to see a move of My Spirit and fruitfulness from My hand, that will draw the multitudes unto Me to come and taste and see that I AM GOOD! (Psalm 34:8)’
