Hi everyone,
This morning as I was waiting on the Lord, He gave me the following word for those in the body of Christ who have been going through very difficult circumstances and they wonder if an end is in sight. I pray that this word will minister to you. God bless you all!

The Roar Of The Lion
By Becky Porter
At times you did not know what I was doing in your life – you did not understand My purposes and plans and you did not understand why I let you go through some of the things you have experienced. And because you suffered, you questioned My love for you, for you reasoned that, surely, if I loved you then I would not let you suffer. I know there are times when you felt it was too difficult to go on – the pain was just too great and you didn’t think you could make it through another day. I want you to know that even when you felt I had abandoned you and forgotten about you, nothing could be further from the truth. You see, just as a loving mother does with her precious child, I have watched over you tenderly and lovingly, and I have never left your side, not even for one moment. Though at times it felt like the darkness would overtake you, it did not and it could not, for I kept you hidden in the hollow of My hand.
It is time to pull up the shades and let My Light in! Put away hopelessness and despair – it is a brand new day and a brand new season - I am doing a new thing, can you not perceive it? New life will spring forth where it has been dry and barren – I will bring streams of Living Waters into the dry and barren places of your life. You can experience spring in your life, even in the heat of summer – I will cool and refresh you, and strengthen and revitalize you – I will wipe the sweat from your brow and I will soothe you. I will tenderly watch over you and sing love songs to you, and I will encourage you and affirm My love for you.
I am going to bring you into a place of union with Me that you have never previously experienced. The well will no longer be dry – I will fill it up to overflowing with an abundance of My Living Waters! There will be such an abundance of My Living Waters flowing into you and through you, that not only will there be plenty for you, but they will spill out onto everyone you come in contact with.
You are an overcomer and you shall overcome through Me, and you shall help many others to do the same. I have made you to be an encourager, and encourage you shall, for I will place My Words of Life in your mouth! You will know not from whence the Words come, for they will instantly be there when you need them, but know that they are from Me - they are MY Words of Life, and I know exactly what each person needs to hear so they will be strengthened for their journey that lies ahead. My Words of Life will be like manna from heaven to them, and they will eat them with great delight, and they will savor every morsel!
I have called you to be a warrior and I have placed My Spirit within you in great measure. You do not yet know what you are capable of accomplishing through Me, but in time you will know, and understand, and you will appreciate, and value highly all that I have placed within you, and all that I have created you to do. I am stirring the waters even now – step into My Living Waters and receive from Me all that I so long to give you.
The past is the past – leave it there. Close the door on that chapter of your life and live in the present moment, for only when you can embrace, and live in the present moment can you truly enjoy all that I have prepared for you.
The call on your life is great – in fact, it is much greater than you realize. I have given you unique abilities that will open doors for you that will not open for others – you will be able to minister to people in an extremely effective manner, and you will be able to reach people that others cannot reach. It is a gift – a special and unique ability I have given you – use your gifts wisely and let Me guide you in everything you do. You have cried out and asked Me to use you, and use you I shall! Get ready, for you are about to embark upon the most exciting journey of your life! The captives will be set free - they will be set free!
I AM releasing the Roar of the Lion. This sound will stop the enemy in his tracks and will thwart his carefully laid plans! Good things come to those who wait. You have patiently waited and you have patiently endured, and I AM well pleased with you! Arise, shine, for your light has come! Step out in faith and I will meet you there.
Arise, overcomer, and take My hand,
And together, the two of us will enter My Promised Land.
Don’t be frightened by the giants in the land,
For I have already overcome and conquered them,
And no longer can they dwell on My land.
So, decree and declare My Promises over your life, and take a stand -
Don’t back up, but take command.
You shall overcome the works of darkness in your life,
And the wounds from this world that have cut like a knife.
So, stand up, My beloved, for deliverance is yours, and it is at hand.
The lies of the enemy, choose to ignore,
For I have so much more in store
For you, and I would not have you limp or stumble along,
But instead I want you to stand victorious and strong.
Trust Me, and you will see the victory
And experience My blessings and prosperity!
Remember, you are My beloved in whom I AM well pleased. You do not stand alone, for I stand with you. You are an overcomer – never forget that – you are an overcomer through ME! Together, we can overcome every obstacle that stands in your way. Don’t back down or step aside, but push through to victory... victory awaits you on the other side.
Isaiah 43:19 NLT
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
Isaiah 49:14-16 NLT
Yet Jerusalem says, “The Lord has deserted us; the Lord has forgotten us.” “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins.”
Zephaniah 3:17-20 NLT
For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” “I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals; you will be disgraced no more. And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you. I will save the weak and helpless ones; I will bring together those who were chased away. I will give glory and fame to my former exiles, wherever they have been mocked and shamed. On that day I will gather you together and bring you home again. I will give you a good name, a name of distinction, among all the nations of the earth, as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
John 4:14 NKJV
“But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
Isaiah 60:1 NKJV
Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.

Topic: The Roar Of The Lion
. I was making Spaghetti the other day and suddenly I got so excited. And yesterday I was reading and I just wanted to praise Him. Sometimes we wonder why we go through what we do but David said, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes". Ps. 119:71. And in spite of all I've been through I can say wholeheartedly that I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth.....bless the Lord O my soul, and all that's within me bless His holy name.
