In this brief sermon, the speaker argues that any hesitation after hearing God’s direction is a form of sin. He explains that when God (through the Holy Spirit) commands us to act—whether to go, give, change, say yes, or say no—delaying is essentially mistrusting God and relying on our own comfort. The speaker urges listeners to respond immediately and emphatically to the Holy Spirit’s prompting, emphasizing that sensitivity to God’s voice should replace procrastination, and that obedience should be swift and wholehearted.

Chapters

Delay is disobedience. So if God says to do something and you delay, you're in sin. God says, go, we say, not now. God says, move, we say, in my own time. God says, take advantage of this opportunity, and we say, well, Lord, let me pray about it, when what we really mean is, God, I don't quite trust what you're saying yet, so let me get to the point I'm comfortable and I trust in my ability to sustain what you promised. Go when the Holy Spirit tells you to go. Give when the Holy Spirit tells you to give. Change what the Holy Spirit tells you to change when the Holy Spirit tells you to change it. If he tells you to say yes to something, say yes emphatically. If he tells you to say no to something, say no immediately. Be sensitive to his voice, no longer delaying, but trusting him and moving as he instructs.
