The Lion Has Roared

For days now I have been hearing a lion roar. It has gotten louder and louder the more I hear it. I hear the Spirit of God saying, “THE LION has roared. THE LION has roared.” I asked the Lord what He wanted to say through this and this is what He said: “THE LION of the tribe of Judah has roared. THE LION has roared. I live in you and it is time for you to ROAR. It is time that you establish VICTORY in your life, family and in your church. I have already given you victory; you have all authority. Establish it NOW! “The Lion of the tribe of Judah has roared.”

HE has roared on your behalf. When a lion roars it can travel up to 5 miles and reach volumes of 114 decibels. A roar acts as a sonic fence, broadcasting ownership of land to outside lions. The sound lets rival male lions know the size and strength of the lion that roared, preventing dangerous physical combat. The roar announces the presence of the king of beasts. It leaves no doubt in the minds of all living creatures within earshot that the “King is present.” 

Not only does a lion's roar mark out the boundaries of its territory, but it can also be a rallying point for tribe strays. Can you see a correlation here? The Lion of the tribe of Judah has roared. The roar is letting any enemy know that you are God’s. The Lion of the tribe of Judah is reminding the enemy you are God’s and that there are no trespassers allowed. HE is saying right now, “I AM PRESENT!” He is saying to you and I right now, “Roar, sons and daughters roar. Not out of fear, or to war but to establish victory, to establish territory, to remind the enemy you are off limits. No longer give him power over you. ROAR. When a lion roars anything or anyone within hearing distance will change its path. So, ROAR. Stopping battling for things you already have. I have given you victory. Don’t battle for it, establish it, it is yours.” 

The lion signifies Jesus as both a fierce protector and a triumphant king. It signifies His royal power, and His authority. He said to us He HAS roared. He said to us to ROAR to establish victory, and He is reminding the enemy isn't allowed to trespass and he better turn and run. 

A roar of a lion is used to tell rival lions and outsiders to stay away from their land. SO, ROAR, ROAR, ROAR! Establish the victory that was already given to you. Establish your territory and remind anything or anyone that is trying to trespass, they better turn and go the other way. Establish your authority. Don’t lie down and take it. Don't wear yourself out warring and fighting for something you have already been given and already have. Establish the victory and rest IN HIM. I am going to leave you with this: Jesus said, “IT IS FINISHED.”

Amos 3:7-8 (NKJV) Surely the Lord does nothing unless He reveals HIs secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord has spoken! Who can but prophesy? 

Amos 1:2a (NKJV) And the Lord roars from Zion.

I Corinthians 15;57 (NKJV) But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Revelation 5:5 (NKJV) But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” 

Exodus 14:14 (NLT) The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.
