THE ROAR OF THE LION

I came across something I had written in 2/6/2012.
(I have capitalized the words that I felt the LORD was giving emphasis to.)

As I read it today, I felt the LORD say “SPEAK IT AGAIN!”
So, here it is…

“I woke up this morning feeling the ROAR of the Lion of Judah erupting from me!!

It was so strong that I let it erupt from my lips. The sound that came out was a SHOUT!!

Each time that it happened…I felt that the very atmosphere shifted!

I believe that the Lion from the tribe of Judah is calling forth His army! I believe that the time for sitting back and praying FOR something to happen is over. I believe that we are in a time of action!!

THERE IS A SOUND THAT IS POURING FORTH OUT OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, HIS CHURCH, THAT WILL CAUSE WALLS TO FALL, STRONGHOLDS TO BREAK, AND DARKNESS TO FLEE!!

I see the Church of the Living God moving forward in Authority and Boldness! We will take our stand in Christ and ENFORCE HIS VICTORY!

His voice thundering through us is the means He will use to have His Will be manifested on this earth!

We will be His Voice calling out in the wilderness!

Where there is barrenness…there will be life!

Where there is lack…there will be abundance!

Where there is weakness…there will be strength!

Where there is defeat…there will be victory!

PSALM 29:

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord is over many waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful,
The voice of the Lord is majestic.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the Lord hews out flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everything says, “Glory!”

The Lord sat as King at the flood;
Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.

The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.

THE LION OF JUDAH IS ROARING! THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS SHAKE AT THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE!

RELEASE THE ROAR THAT IS WITHIN YOU!!

Where is Your Focus?

It’s important what we focus on each day! Do we focus on everything that we think is “wrong” in our life? Or do we focus on what is good? One choice brings anxiety, fear and helplessness. And one brings joy, peace, and strength. Everyday is a new day! What do you choose to focus on today?

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

RISE UP!

Years ago, I had done/said something that I regretted. The circumstances around it have faded in my memory. But, I still remember the regret and condemnation I was feeling at the time.

I went to the Lord in prayer and asked for His forgiveness. A few days after that I again felt myself in the throes of regret and condemnation. I again went to the Lord in repentance begging for His forgiveness. This went on a few more times…and then I heard the Lord lovingly say to me:

“Tina, I forgave you the first time you came to me…now you need to forgive yourself!”

Dearest Brothers & Sisters, I believe there is someone who is reading this post that is living in the same place that I was…living under the spirit of condemnation. If you haven’t repented of your action to the Lord and asked His forgiveness…I encourage you to do that today! Also, if it is involving a person, I would encourage you to go to the person and ask their forgiveness.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

God has given us a sound mind…the mind of Christ! (1 Corinthians 2:16). We need to get our thoughts aligned with His thoughts…with His truth. We need to “…take every thought captive to obey Christ…”. (2 Corinthians 10:5)

Beloved of God, DO NOT let the enemy weave a stronghold of condemnation, fear, shame, and doubt within you! Stand strong…stand on the promises of God…stand on the truth of God! Take up the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the Word of God, and wield that sword against anything the enemy throws at you!

Tear down the strongholds of the enemy and let the LORD be your stronghold! He [Jesus] is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. (Psalms 62:2)

RISE UP, MIGHTY ARMY OF THE MOST HIGH GOD! PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD! PICK UP THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT AND BE STRONG IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT!! THE TIME IS NOW!! HALLELUJAH!!

LEAP OF FAITH!

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

As I have been pressing into the Lord concerning this new year, I was led to this photo. Then I was led to the scripture in 1 John concerning FAITH.

I feel the call of the Lord to be ready to take a LEAP OF FAITH in the coming year. There have been plenty of circumstances that have tried to stop you in your walk forward.

Looking at our circumstances and listening to voices of criticism and negativity in our lives have caused a “break” in our walk with the Lord. He is calling us to look at HIM…trust in HIM… and soar like an eagle over all those things that have caused you fear and doubt.

Get ready to take that LEAP OF FAITH and see all that God has waiting for you on the other side!

HALLELUJAH!!

SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

“…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

I had a vision on June 8 as I attended a day with Daughters on the Frontline. In the vision I saw a woman clothed in the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18). But, I saw the sword of the Spirit laying at her feet.  I received understanding that the sword was not being held because it was thought, “I will pick it up when I need it.”  

I heard the Lord say in my spirit, “IT’S TIME TO PICK UP THE SWORD!!  MY WORD TRUMPS THE WORD OF THE WORLD!”

Even though I saw a woman in my vision, I believe that the woman represents the “bride of Christ.”  This vision and word is for all – men and women alike. 

Brothers & Sisters, the main weapon of our warfare is in our mouths!  God’s Word spoken, declared, and decreed in and over our circumstances and in and over world circumstances is one of the most powerful weapons we have.  We need to realize the importance and necessity of having our “sword” constantly ready. 

Read God’s Word…Pray God’s Word…Speak God’s Word 

May God’s Word continually be in our hearts and in our mouths!  RISE UP BROTHERS & SISTERS!  PICK UP THE SWORD AND BE READY TO DO BATTLE!

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Don’t let what is happening in your life put you in a position of defeat. Rise up from that position and remember you are “seated with Christ in heavenly places.”  (Ephesians 2:6).  That is your position!

RISE UP!       ARMOR UP!       SPEAK UP!  

You are not defeated!  You are not a failure!  You are not powerless!  SPEAK God’s truth over yourself and over your circumstances and keep speaking it until you see the victory!

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”   (1 John 5:4)

Praying for you, mighty, victorious men and women of God!!
