I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘STEP UP, STEP UP! DO NOT TARRY! STEP UP AND PUSH BACK THE ATTACK OF FEAR’

Recently, I heard the Lord say. ‘Step up, step up! Do not tarry! Step up and push back the attack of fear. As the Lord spoke these words there was a strong sense upon me that there are things that the Lord has been asking many to step into, but they were tangled and tethered to TARRYING!

TARRYING DEFINITION: to stay longer than intended, delay leaving a place.
Synonyms: to loiter, procrastinate, pause, linger, delay, wait, lag, dawdle (Google)

As I leaned into the Lord and listened, I could feel a sense of urgency in the atmosphere around obedience. It was a sense of the seriousness of the hour in which we are living in. It was then that I heard the Lord say:

‘I am looking for IMMEDIATE obedience.’

As I continued to lean in and listen to the Lord, I heard:
‘My people, arise! ARISE! There are many that are dancing with tarrying, and I am calling you to arise out of your tarrying and to move in what I am calling you to move into and where I am leading you. There are many that have been lured into tarrying by the cares of this world and by the weariness they have felt. There has been a violent assault of fear and anxiety against many recently, and it is causing many to feel hesitant in their obedience to step out and follow where I am leading and move on My voice. This fear and anxiety has come in such intensity that it has begun to cause many to doubt whether they even heard My voice in the first place. I say unto you, My people, that much of what you have endured recently has been the turbulence caused by the enemy at the gates and at thresholds that I have for you to move through and cross over.

‘I say unto you, that there is a grace you have not known before that is before you in this season to do what you never thought you would do in Me, and to see My Spirit move through you in ways you never imagined. I say unto you, that INTIMIDATION has been knocking at your door, but the truth is: as you lean into Me and listen to what I am speaking, I am bringing you into some of the greatest days of INSIGHT that you have ever known. As you come to Me in humility and seek Me, I am giving you an increase of spiritual SIGHT to see what has been coming against you and what has been attempting to hinder your movement.

‘I say unto you, arise and step up and out of tarrying. There is a fresh boldness and courage that I am releasing that is found in Me and walked in as you step out and into all that I am calling you to. I say unto you, do not tolerate or entertain tarrying or procrastination: worship Me with your obedience and arise and step up into the new things I am calling you to step up and into, and move forward on My Word and leading.

‘For the winds of My Spirit are increasing and blowing ferociously in this hour and as My winds blow the chaff is coming to the surface, and one of the areas I am bringing to the surface in this hour is the place of delayed obedience and procrastination. My people, what I am inviting you into with Me and in Me, in this hour, is the most glorious move of My Spirit that you have ever seen and been a part of. I am bringing you into days of glory, days of seeing My Glory and My Spirit poured out that is beyond your comprehension.

‘For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.’ Habbakuk 2:14 (ESV)

‘I am raising up a people in this hour who LINGER and TARRY in My presence like Joshua did (Ex 33:11) but I am NOT raising up a people in this hour who linger and tarry with their obedience. My people, these are the days where I am restoring the bold, unapologetic, unrestrained obedience to My Church. My people, I am on the move and I am inviting you to come with Me. I am inviting you to be part of the greatest move of My Spirit that you have ever seen in your life and in the earth. There are many of you that are finding yourself in a deep valley of tarrying and a deep valley of decision and the hour is urgent. I have drawn a line in the sand and I have been calling and calling to you My people that this is the hour to be ALL IN.

‘I am calling for deep, radical abandonment to Me and a yielding and a surrender that, yes, is deeper than you have known before—but the reward of your surrender, the reward of your obedience is ME and My presence and being where I am and being part of what I am doing in the earth. This is the hour I am moving swiftly, and I am calling you to renounce your tarrying and come with Me. Do not be left behind as I move swiftly in the earth, and do not allow fear to contain you and hinder you from moving in obedience to Me. This is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit (Zech 4:6), this is your greatest hour of deliverance from a spirit of fear, intimidation and timidity as you continue to seek Me, trust Me and watch as My Spirit awakens you more and more to who I am, who goes before you, who goes with you and My perfect love.

‘I am the great I AM, and I go with you. I will fill your mouth. I will lead you. I will guide you. I have and will provide all for you, there is great grace before you, but you must decide to have a violent no toleration of fear, and follow Me. I am dealing with the causes of delayed obedience. I am exposing them and calling you OUT.’

As I continued to lean in and listen to the Lord, I heard the words:

‘Listen, closely! Listen, closely! Listen, closely! CLARITY.’

The Lord continued to speak:
‘Draw close in the quiet place and listen. Listen closely, for I have great and unsearchable things that you do not yet know, to reveal to you (Jeremiah 33:3) and there is great clarity awaiting you in this hour. I am speaking and revealing deep mysteries right now that are going to bring forth incredible clarity into your lives: and as you come to Me in humility and reverence, there is much wisdom I am giving to you for the days ahead. Do not SHY AWAY from My wisdom, do not SHY AWAY from the strategies I release to you and the paths of obedience I call you to walk down. For there is a new level of trusting Me and MY WAY, in this hour, in obedience to Me at a level you have not yet known. But as you follow Me and MY WAY, you will not only begin to move in a greater realm of wisdom, in this hour, but you will partner with Me in the greatest moves of My Spirit you have ever been a part of.’
