The Power of the Roar

Great Day Readers!

I am so excited about the revelation of today's blog.  Sunday, we had a guest pastor come in and minister to us.  He came from the topic: Is There a Cause? I love how he used the story of David to demonstrate the cause to ignore the doubters and be reminded of the promises and covenant of GOD. But, what got me was the knowledge he gave about the roar of a lion. He stated that the roar of a lion could be heard five miles from the place where the lion roared. He stated that the lion's roar is so powerful and loud that it paralyzes his prey, making it easy for him to kill. OOOOOOOOO!!!

Can we take that concept and apply it to the supernatural world? More importantly to the enemy's effect on our life... Look, 1Peter 5:8 says, "Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." ASV

Can we examine that scripture a little more and apply it to the fact I stated at the begin about the lion's roar?  It says the devil is as a roaring lion. (Pause) I don't think you saw what I did. It says he is LIKE A ROARING LION... Ok here is the revelation I need you to grasp. If he is like a roaring lion, that means his roar really doesn't carry the power, weight, and authority of a real lion. See it may sound like it's paralyzing and that there is no way of escape, but the reality is... It's just the roar of a lion come from the mouth of a kitten. (Had to give you a visual) That's why fear can feel seem so real. The enemy is a great imitator but not an originator. He has smokes and mirrors that create the perfect atmosphere to paralyze you in fear, insecurity, doubt, depression, disappointment, frustration, and negative thinking. See, here is the thing about the enemy, he's good at his job and perfects it daily. Where we go wrong is being caught up in his perfection. We forget that our Daddy is the creator of all things and that we have the authority over the enemy. His roar can't paralyze something that was meant to hunt him. He is the prey we are the predators. He can't paralyze us!!! But, we forget our position, our place, purpose, and title, and this is how we become paralyzed and become his prey. 

I know you are wondering... How do I get over the enemy's roar? How do I stop being the prey and become the predator? Simple, focus on the right roar. Oh yes, there is another lion whose roar is greater than the enemy. He's called the lion of Judah. Revelation 5:5 says, "But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

The Moral of this blog is simple: Stop listening to the roar of the enemy and focus on the roar of Judah. It is the roar of Judah that causes you to be victorious in all things, including the attacks and roars of the enemy.

Prayer: Daddy right now we thank you that we are no longer paralyzed by the roar of the enemy. We are so focused on the roar of you through the lion of Judah. We thank you that we are paralyzed in your blessings, overflow, love, peace, joy, and grace and mercy. We seek to be the lions that roar to the enemy your word, promises, and will causing him to paralyzed. In Jesus Name! AMEN!!!
