There was a vision I had many years ago, of a lion roaring. I don’t
know how to explain what I saw in the vision, but the reverberations
of the sound of the roar were shattering spiritual strongholds and
chains over people. I got a sense that it was happening on a global
scale for many people, who had either been spiritually deceived, mis-
lead, or who were in some kind of spiritual bondage.
Over the years, I have often thought of it being a sovereign act of God,
something otherworldly. Although it absolutely will be Sovereign
when it happens worldwide, it will be brought about by faith in
action. Because as James says, faith without works is dead.
When I received the vision, the words “reverberation” and “shattering”,
came to me as clearly as the vision. The other day I looked up the
definition of the word reverberation, persistence of sound after it is
produced, created when a sound or signal is reflected. This causes
numerous reflections to build up and then decay as the sound is
absorbed by the surfaces of objects in the space, which could include
furniture, people, air, etc.
So how could a reverberation break a spiritual stronghold, a chain?
Namely, when the roar of the Lion, the Word, begins to reverb, the voice
and the lies of the enemy become more and more faint until they are
inaudible. The more the faithful speak the word of God, the louder the
roar. Awkward times, awkward places, speak the Word.
It may seem that an echo would be a better idea, but an echo returns
the sound back to the source. However, a reverb is absorbed.
Absorbtion into the bloodstream, the Word, the Light, this can and will
tear down walls, break chains, bring abundant life. This is what the
Lion of Judah came to do, bring life to the full. Only the Word can
restore what has been stolen, make alive that which was dead, rebuild
that which has been destroyed. Know the Word, yes! But also, don’t
just speak the word back to God in prayer, it is of absolute necessity to
speak out the Word, to cause it to reverberate until it has been
completely absorbed into the world around you!
Similar to us being like the moon to reflect the light of the sun. The
moon does not simply reflect its light back to the sun, rather it sends
the light of the Sun to Earth to light the night.
On another note, I am further adding the revelation below from the
week of May 4th, which I was thinking was a totally separate topic,
but I think it goes hand in hand with this one.
That week I had been suffering with some severe pain in my
mouth/jaw. Something not new to me, as I was healed of Trigeminal
Neuralgia a few years ago, but somehow it seems that I have had
numerous occasions where I have had debilitating pain in my teeth
and/or jaw where no “cause” could be found. So here I was again, I
knew it was not TN, because I could take regular pain meds and they
WOULD help. (If it were TN, there is no kind of regular pain meds that
work at all.) But over the course of a few days I had increased taking
the pain meds to the point they were having very little effect on the
pain. I had gone several days with very little sleep. Finally, it was
very early on a Sunday morning (5/04) just after midnight when I
got out of bed from trying to sleep and went to kneel at the chair where
I spend most mornings with the Lord. I knelt down and just began to
tell Jesus how much I loved Him. I did not ask for anything, I was
just in a place of complete brokenness and all I could do was tell Him
of my love. It was only after a couple of minutes that I realized that
my pain was completely gone. Immediately after that, I fell asleep
kneeling at my chair and didn’t wake up until the next morning.
When I awoke, I still had no pain at all, but that whole side of my face
and jaw was completely swollen up, maybe like a large marble? The
inside of my mouth was numb, but that did not bother me a bit,
because I was not in pain. So, I testified to everyone that I talked to,
and at church about the goodness of the Lord. Over the next few days
the swelling was going down slowly, but the numbness remained, so
I was still not in pain other than soreness (if I actually pressed on
my face in that area it was tender). The Holy Spirit showed me that
Jesus had performed surgery on me and that I was just recovering
from it. I only told a few people about this revelation because to some
it may have seemed a bit ridiculous. After I had told one person in
particular, the Holy Spirit asked me something and I was taken
aback. He said, “are you telling ‘stories’ about what I reveal to you, or
do you really believe the revelations that I give you?” I say this
because there was the smallest bit of doubt in the back of my heart
that said “what if the pain comes back?”, “did Jesus really do surgery
on me?”, “am I telling people things that are not true?”. I never want
to proclaim things that are not true, whether they are personal
revelations for myself, or a personal revelation that I give to someone
else, so that question really bothered me and made me think.
All at the same time I had been having a running theme in my times
with the Lord, which was what I would call, “the sweetest song”. I
first stumbled on it when I was reading in Ezekiel 33 v 3 0 “As for you,
son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside
the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one
another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what
the word is that comes from the LORD.’ 3 1 So they come to you as people
do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but
they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but
their hearts pursue their own gain. 3 2 Indeed you are to them as a very
lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an
instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. 3 3 And
when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know
that a prophet has been among them.”
There have been several occasions that I have spoken the truth of the
Word and more times than not it is received as sweet words, words of
promise, but it doesn’t take long for those who hear the words to turn
back to the western mindset. There is no judgement in that, for the
people, because I know this western mindset is a strong chain. But
just because people are not able to grasp or hold on to the words of
truth does not make them untrue.
When I began to get revelation on this Word, it was right about the
same time I had gotten some special bath stuff from my dear sister,
and it happened to be called “sweetest song”. Meditating on the
Sweetest song during the day and soaking in the sweetest song at
night. lol. There are coincidences for some people maybe, but I do not
believe in coincidences for myself. The Holy Spirit told me that I do
have the sweetest song in my mouth, when I declare the truth of the
Word, and furthermore when I have revelations for people based on
the Word, which they may or may not have the ability to receive.
To further drive home the point of reverberating the sweet song of the
truth of the Word, I got some more in depth revelation yesterday. He
took me to this phrase, as I chose my random verse for the day, while
holding my grandson on one knee I turned to the passage in 1
Chronicles 6, where it talks about the people that David put in charge
of the “service of song” to minister before the Lord in the tabernacle
until the time of Solomon when the Temple would be built for a
dwelling place of the Lord. We are the dwelling place of the Lord, we
must minister the song of the Word, thus the Ark of the Covenant is
with us, the very presence of the Lord God of Hosts.
We must do differently, more, than what we have done in the past,
rather than simply reciting the Word back to the heavens we must
speak the Word forward, speak it out, sing it out! Reverberate kings,
reverberate! Cause confusion in the camp of the enemy! You have
friends, family, there are people you have never met who need someone
to roar over them, to speak truth, to speak the Word, to tell a story, to
sing a song, and to never stop speaking, never stop singing. Then and
only then the very presence of the Ark, the covenant of the Almighty
God for His people, will begin to reverberate on a massive scale and
