"Step"-Tember

September 2020

While in my quiet time with the Lord, He said,

“Hello Step-Tember.”

I was like, “Huh?” Then I looked at the date on my phone and it was September 1st 2020.

He told me this month was to be called “Step”-Tember and it is now time to take the next step. He gave me marching orders and I had the understanding that many would soon be receiving their marching orders this month as well. I felt this week is especially highlighted.

“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit” 

(Galatians 5:25 NIV)

In my spirit, I heard loud drum-like beats. I heard the Holy Spirit ask me, 

“Can you hear the beat of the drums–– Heaven marching?”

He went on to explain, 

“Heaven is marching, drums beating, time is speeding. Make yourself ready for the Groom is coming. The Groom is on His way to capture His Bride. I say, make yourself ready for time is speeding and beating. My blood is flowing. Pumping–my will is thumping. Beating– in My heart you're thriving. Only those who feel the pressure and hear the drums of My heart will know Me and come closer to My sound- the sound of My heart. It is My will marching to earth. My will shall burst forth and pour over My chosen ones. Get in step. Get in alignment. Feel My heart, flow in Me, and ride the rhythm with My beat. For the time is now and the Groom is coming. Get ready! Get ready, I say. There is no time to waste. Receive your marching orders, wait for when I call, and then move.”

“You have captured my heart, my treasure, my bride…”

(Song of Solomon 4:9 NLT)

“He watches every step we take.”

(Job 34:21 NLT)

While He was speaking, I saw what looked like a large army or marching band coming from Heaven to earth. As they stepped in time, their feet would land with a loud crash on the earth. Each step that landed in the natural left a mark–– a footprint. Like a footprint in the sand, I could see all the small details each step left behind. Every dip and ridge was defined and clear for me to easily see. I was then shown what the prints contained. As I was taken inside the footprint, I saw the blueprint or marching orders for my next assignment. It was Heaven’s plans being given to me to “step” into. As I stepped into the print from Heaven, then and only then, could I see the fine details clearly. The plans were very well laid out with specific instructions. I just had to step in.

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

(Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

“Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses.”

(Joshua 1:3 ESV)

I feel many are hearing the beating of His heart and will begin to step into the print of Heaven. Over the next few weeks they will begin to receive clear blueprints and marching orders that will carry them into their next season. Heaven is going before them, marching, to make the way clear for a future filled with hope.

“The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way;” 

(Psalm 37:23 ESV)

“I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.”

(Jeremiah 10:23 ESV)

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” 

(Proverbs 16:9 ESV)

As I let our team review this word, one of the ladies said she heard the word, “timber”, as if a tree was falling over. Workers shout “timber” as they cut a tree down so no one gets hurt. I feel “step” tember could also be seen as “step” TIMBER. As we step forward with hope into the prints of Heaven, we will shout “timber” as things that are in the way of God's will and purpose gets cut down and falls to the ground.

I call you forth to take the next step. Move forward into the footprint from Heaven that will carry you into the next season with hope. Everything you need to move forward is found in Jesus Christ.

“Does not he see my ways and number all my steps?” 

(Job 31:4 ESV)

“He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.”

(Psalm 40:2 ESV)
