The Lion of Judah is Ready to Roar

The Lion of Judah is on the loose !
I was awakend early Monday morning (9/26) hearing the Lord command the Lion of Judah to roar.  He voice sounded like Thunder.  I told my wife about the experience and she told me that the Elijah List just posted an article by John Belt that the Lion of Judah is ready to roar !  ..... Dave

John Belt:
The Lion is Ready to Roar!

Hello everyone! I had a profound encounter recently before going to bed. I think it is just like God to get you right before you fall asleep. I had to get out of bed to make a record of this! I felt it important to share with you. We see Jesus in many different expressions in the Scriptures. He is the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of God, the Lord of Hosts, the Angel of the Lord and many other looks. But one night recently He came to me as the Lion who is ready to roar. As you read, ask the Lord to reveal this aspect of His nature in your life.

Riding the Lion
I had a vision where I found myself on the back of this giant Lion with a huge mane. Then I realized it was the Lord. As the Lion turned His head, I could see His mouth open as if He was getting ready to roar. It is time to ride on the Lion of Judah. It is as if He has been waiting for this season. There is something fresh and new in the air. The breath of His mouth will destroy the enemy.

In this vision I was also running my fingers through the mane of the Lion. This represents the intimacy with God that is the foundation for our authority. Our intimacy is for a purpose – it is to establish the Kingdom of God for the King. The Lion is symbolic in that it is the "King of the Jungle". The world is that jungle. Jesus is coming as the Lion to rule in the jungle bringing His power to set people free

The Lord carries us into that jungle with His authority. When we are riding on the Lion we can be assured that we will succeed in all He calls us to do. He is massive, larger than life. He is ready to conquer and demonstrate His power.

A Time for SurpriseIn my encounter, I was suddenly on this Lion and He was of full age and postured for action. This will be a time where God will do things suddenly. It will take us by surprise. The sons of the Kingdom will advance the Kingdom for His purposes and with His power. I'm now reminded about what happened on the first day of our conference in March of 2010. We have a friend in ministry in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. In the place where they minister, a lion was spotted, and seen on the loose by several people. There were so many reports that the news media reported it as a headline event.

The Lion ReportHere is the post from March 25th, 2010 from the Examiner:

Residents in one Cincinnati neighborhood are worried after hearing reports that some kind of a large cat, possibly a lion, was spotted wandering the streets there Thursday morning.

911 dispatchers say they received several calls about the animal around 7 a.m. on March 25, 2010. It was seen in the 500 block of Glenwood Avenue in the Avondale neighborhood, near Phoenix School.

The Cincinnati Zoo, which is only blocks away from where the cat was seen, did a head count and says all of its large cats are accounted for.

Police with rifles searched the area, carefully searching through a dumpster outside the school and using an aerial ladder fire truck to get a better vantage point on the neighborhood from the air.

Officers say the reports are credible. The callers say the cat was buff-colored and had a mane. It triggered motion lights along the school. The witnesses say they saw the cat sit upright, then lithely hop a six foot fence near the dumpster and disappear.

There were no tracks left behind by the animal and it was never found. But police say they continue to be on the lookout for the animal.

God is definitely up to something. The Lion is on the move... Whenever the Lord comes as a Lion that means serious business. He is coming to put an end to all counterfeit spiritual government to establish His government.

He is ready to roar and it is time to ride!

His overflow be yours!

Open Air Battles

Over the years I have had a "re-desire" to take anointed prophetic music into public places.  From my days with Torn Veil Praise Band and through my years in restoring the tabernacle of David (music inside a tent), it seems appropriate that anointed music should be outdoors even as much as indoors.   One picture that my mind keeps recalling is a visit Debra and I made to Cathedral Square in downtown Milwaukee.  The event is called "Jazz in the Park."  People fill the picnic tables every Thursday night.to be entertained by some great music by some great performers.  Take this picture and add to it the anointing of the Holy Spirit. 

The history of the Holy Spirit working with human beings on the earth is nothing less than phenomenal.  The Holy Spirit is "detail oriented."  I can give a million scriptural depictions threaded throughout the Old and New Testament on how the Holy Spirit takes us from point A to point B through point Z of his workings with mankind.   Putting things in order, opening blind eyes, juggling peoples geographical positions to be in the right place at the right time, convicting, strongly impressing, stopping events, doing unusual things to bring forth wisdom ... just to name a few. 

Add to this picture now, non-ceremonial prophetic ministry.  Let me expand that thought in your head.  Lance Wallnau tells of some advice he gave members of a board of a corporation when they invited him into the meeting to give some consulting. In the meeting the members discussed the issues at hand to expose the struggle the company was experiencing so that Lance could get the picture.  He then told us in the aftermath that he felt the familiar impression of the Holy Spirit to say some direct things to the board.  He even spoke directly to individuals with saying, "thus saith the Lord OR this is what I hear the Lord saying OR saith God!"  He spoke in everyday terms with experiencing the anointing knowing that the words of the Holy Spirit always have impact no matter how we package them.  He was right in his assumption as the people in the board meeting were noticeably impacted and the company followed his advice and broke out of their issue.

Add to this picture once again the element of prophetic musical instrumentation and vocal melodies.   When I do a 2 hour music set, I expect these Holy Spirit manifestations to take place based on a personal history as well as scriptural.  In Davids Tabernacle the musicians prophesied on their instruments.   The Holy Spirit must have seen the importance of non-linguistic prophesy or the Holy Spirit would have anointed it to happen.   Vocal melodies without words are just as anointed as the instruments and have the same impact.  Imagine sinners and saints alike unprepared to erect walls against the purposes of God being exposed to prophetic music in public places. 

Thus open air battles are effectively discreet making arguments against the strongholds of sin in a persons life. We can  disarm the area principalities and powers that hold these arguments in contention against the kingdom of darkness.  People sitting trapped in the argument that God does not love me because of the sins I have committed, trapped in the argument that there is NO God when the things in life happen that happen.  Satan has a complicated game plan, the Holy Spirit out smarts every angle the enemy has for human beings.  We just need to release the Holy Spirit in public places.  Just thinking out loud !   Dave
