"It's Time to Restore the Roar and Embrace the Awe of God!" - Bobby Conner, Bullard, TX

"It's Time to Restore the Roar and Embrace the Awe of God!"

The Elijah List

The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy? Amos 3:7-8

On the Day of Atonement the Spirit of Truth stated in a powerful proclamation:

"IT IS TIME TO RESTORE THE ROAR!"

This declaration sent great waves of excitement throughout my entire body!The time of timidity and fearfulness is coming to a sudden end! With astonishing boldness the saints of God will arise, declaring Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and He is truly Lord of Lords. This sudden resurgence of boldness will be the result of a great returning to First Love, rekindling the fires of first love (see Revelation 2:4-5).

Embrace the Awe of God! An Urgent Word
Suddenly, He Roars!

Recently, I was overwhelmed by a heavenly visitation. Without notice, I received one of the most significant and captivating encounters of my life.

I was enjoying an ordinary day with my family in Texas. I had much to do to prepare for an upcoming ministry trip to Europe, so I excused myself to retreat to my study. As I arranged some papers on my desk, I heard a slight sound behind me. Thinking it was my wife or perhaps one of my grandchildren, I casually turned around to see who was in the room.

Without warning, I found myself in a spiritual realm. There suddenly appeared – just inches in front of my face – a living, incandescent wall of translucent light, suspended within brilliant, blue-green waters. The waters were glowing and luminous – and also alive. A soft, swishing sound came from the moving mass of living, liquid light, much like the sound of wind through trees. (Photo by Lillis Boyer "And an Angel Stirred the Waters" via elijahshopper.com)

This glorious wall was a divine veil reflecting the most stunning, alluring rays of brilliant light I had ever seen. They were refreshing beyond words. Astonished, I wanted to absorb everything I could from within that veil. Its purpose seemed to be to enlighten and refresh.

All of my senses were extremely alert as I admired this breathtaking veil and wondered what was about to transpire. I reflected on how peaceful, tranquil, and good I felt, when suddenly, without warning, a magnificent LION exploded from the wall of living light. 

This was an enormous, fearsome creature, a gigantic Lion of golden-amber color whose mane radiated a halo of golden light. 

He was tall enough to look me straight in the eye. In fact, He locked His eyes on mine, gazing into my eyes with such intensity that I knew He was looking into my very soul. As I returned His steadfast gaze, I felt I was peering into eternity.

I wanted to flee from sheer terror, but also wanted to embrace this wonderful being from another realm. This Lion had an extraordinary fierceness, but from within this indescribable strength and power, an overwhelming gentleness also radiated. I was amazed at the warmth and love pulsing within Him, and the peace and sense of protection that exuded from His presence.

Our eyes were locked in a gaze for what seemed to be a very long time, when suddenly the Lion opened wide His mouth and began to roar. The roar was unlike any sound I had ever experienced – ear-piercing, overwhelming, indescribable. Mere words simply cannot convey the force and beauty of that blast of breath from another world. 

This massive roar lasted for quite some time and released a vibration and reverberation that shook the heavens and earth – and felt as though it could be heard and felt throughout the entire universe. (Photo by Jennifer Page "Blessed is HE" via elijahshopper.com)

Standing within that divine current of the Lion's roar, I felt a divine invincibility. Before I had time to ask, I understood the nature of the roar; within my spirit, I heard the words, "The breath of God." 

Embrace the Awe of Almighty God!

As suddenly as the Lion's roar began, it stopped – so swiftly that its absence created a vacuum that sucked the air and sound from the room. Out of that deep, sublime silence, a booming voice from Heaven rang out with a holy declaration that shook my entire being. The voice surged with supernatural power and authority:

"Prepare My people to embrace the awe of Almighty God!"

And then the beautiful liquid light disappeared as swiftly as it came. I stood trembling in my office, my heart pounding hard and fast, my spirit ablaze with the fire from Heaven's altar.

At this point, in a quiet, comforting, and convincing tone of voice, the Holy Spirit said, "Yes, prepare the people of God to embrace the awe of God!" (Photo by Lillis Boyer "He Who Keeps Israel Never Slumbers nor Sleeps"via elijahshopper.com)

The Spirit then explained that much revelation would be released concerning the Lion of the Tribe of Judah – a revelation that would produce the holy, wholesome fear of the LORD.

The Fear of God, the Awe of God

Indeed, the Lord spoke a very stern warning to me, saying, "Warn the people that I am not as easy to get along with as some preachers have made Me out to be!"

What does this mean, dear brothers and sisters in Christ? We must never forget the truth that "it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God"(see Hebrews 10:31). The writer of Hebrews further admonishes us, entreating us to fear the Lord: "Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear" (Hebrews 12:28).

Prophecy: When the Gadites Rise the Goliaths Will Fall - Jennifer LeClaire

Prophecy: When the Gadites Rise the Goliaths Will Fall

7/21/2015 JENNIFER LECLAIRE  charisma magazine

"When the Gadites rise the Goliaths will fall." I heard the Holy Spirit speak those words Tuesday night after I hung up from our Appeal to Heaven prayer call.

We're praying out the prophecies over the nation and we were praying out a prophetic word Tim Sheets released, part of which read: "As Esther, they will rewrite them by My statutes. Governors of the culture will now come forth. Remnant warriors will now emerge who have the heart of David, the wisdom of Solomon and the tenacity of Paul."

While I was praying through that part of the prophecy, the Holy Spirit started showing me the Gadites. I began to pray for the mighty warring Gadites to rise and take out the Goliaths. Again, when I hung up I heard the Holy Spirit say, "When the Gadites rise the Goliaths will fall."

Who Are the Gadites?

The Gadites came from the tribe of Dan. Gad was the seventh son of Jacob. His name means "troop." The Bible describes the Gadites as "men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with a bow, and who were skillful in battle, who went to war" (1 Chr. 5:18). When Jacob blessed his 12 sons before he died, he prophesied, "Gad—a raiding troop shall raid him, but he shall raid at their heels and assault them [victoriously] (Gen. 49:19, AMP). In other words, it looked like Gad had lost the fight but he made a comeback. Isn't that what it looks like in America even now?

We find another mention of the Gadites in 1 Chronicles 12:7-9: "From the Gadites mighty men of valor, men of the war battalion, who could handle shield and sword, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and who were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains, separated themselves for David in the stronghold in the wilderness" (MEV). Remember, it was the Gadites who stood on the side of righteousness with David amid Absalom's great rebellion. It's the Gadites that will stand strong amid the Great Falling Away we're seeing in the church even now.

Matthew Henry's Commentary describes the Gadites this way: "They were able-bodied men, men of incredible swiftness, not to fly from, but to fly upon, the enemy, and to pursue the scattered forces. In this they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains, so that no man could escape from them; and yet they had faces like the faces of lions, so that no man could out-fight them. They were disciplined men, trained up to military exercises; they could handle shield and buckler, use both offensive and defensive weapons ... They were daring men, that could break through the greatest difficulties. What enemies those were that they met with in the valleys, when they had passed Jordan, does not appear; but they put them to flight with their lion-like faces, and pursued them with matchless fury ..."

Goliath Must Fall

The Gadites had faces like lions. I like that. It means the fierceness and boldness showed on their faces, intimidating their enemies. Proverbs 28:1 says, "The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion."

How bold is a lion? They aren't called the king of the jungle for nothing. The Bible calls the lion "strongest among beasts" (see Prov. 30:29-30). Amos asked, "The lion has roared; who will not fear?" (Amos 3:8) You can hear a lion roar from miles and miles away. And Peter warns us to, "Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Of course, Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (see Rev. 5:5).

Goliath, on the other hand, was just an uncircumcised Philistine. Unlike the Gadites, Goliath was not in covenant with God. Goliath could not claim the promises of God. Goliath may look big—and he is—but he is no match for the Gadites. In your life and in this nation, Goliaths have risen up to war against us. But take heart. When the Gadites rise, the Goliaths will fall. Rise up now, bold as a lion, and decree and declare your victory over Goliath. Stand for truth amid the rebellion! It's time to roar! Decree and declare that the Goliaths attacking this nation will fall, in Jesus' name!
