Message from The Lion
to The Lambs
shared by Suzin McNeill

Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, 
but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. 
The lion hath roared who will not fear?
The LORD GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
Amos 3:7-8

Come forth. Come forth from the graves of  your traditions. Awake! Awake thyself and shake off the dust of thy slumber. Rise up! Rise up, and prepare thy garments of  battle, for the days of thy slumber have ended and the time of My callings is here! I have called Me a people, 0 Israel, My Judah. It has been but a season, of My hiding. Thy rest has ended, and I call forth to My people, to enter into My rest with united hearts and oneness of purpose. Stand united in My name and I shall stand with thee. Stand in the name of men and you will quickly fall to deception and then destruction. It is time for those who follow The Lamb to shed forth their sheepcoats and take bold stance as My sons and daughters. 

No longer ... no longer, will My hidden vessels be pushed back and silenced for I, even  I, The LION of the Tribe Of  JUDAH shall assemble My people to stand in unity and only in The Name of  JESUS. There will again be the one voice of prayer and one voice of power, through the consecration of  My people back to their REDEEMER, KINSMAN. 

My sons and My daughters, will stand boldly before the eyes of the world and will speak forth My judgments for sin. Shaking ... repentance, and both the name of the LORD, and the fear of the Lord, shall come forth within My Assemblies. 

I send forth My prophets and My apostles in new anointing and in new strength.  My people, utter no falsehood against My "sent ones" for the days of judgment and instant recompense are here. Speak no lies against My anointed ones for surely as I placed signs and wonders before Pharaoh, I will take stance within My sons and daughters and I will show Myself great on their behalf. Let the days of thy complaining end or I, The LORD will banish thee from My temples. Open ears, and open hearts I will seek and find, to walk for Me in the footsteps of My Son, JESUS, and My Holy Spirit. Hear ye Me, for the time of thy slumber has ended and a new wave of  My Anointing is sent forth to those who set their hearts to obey My voice, and walk in My ways, thus saith, the LORD, GOD of  ISRAEL.Prepare thy hearts and prepare My people for immediate obedience to My will and to My word. 

I, The LORD speak to thee early prepare My people to stand in the strength of the name of JESUS. Equip My people to stand in holiness before Me. Teach My people to once again kneel before Me. Teach My people to once again pray unceasingly for the strengthening and purging of  My body. It is time to watch and pray and time to pray and watch. My house and My temple, within each heart shall first be a house of prayer. It is time to pray, and it is time to travail, for the birthing of  My power, and My glory, within My temples of heart, thus saith The LORD.

Lion. The lion was the most awesome and dangerous wild beast in Palestine. His tawny hide blended into the golden fields and sandy wastes. Lions hid in forests and sometimes pounced from the thickets near the Jordan River <Jer. 49:19>.
 The Bible contains many references to lions. Daniel miraculously survived a night in a lions' den <Daniel 6>. Samson and David killed lions singlehandedly <Judg. 14:5-6; 1 Sam. 17:34-37>. Kings hunted lions for sport. According to <Ezekiel 19:1-9>, lions were also captured with pits and nets.
 The lion's majestic appearance and fearsome roar prompted many comparisons. The prophet Joel declared, "The Lord also will roar from Zion" <Joel 3:16>. The apostle Peter wrote: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion." The prophet Hosea foretold that God would be like a protective lion for the nation of Israel <Hos. 5:14>; (panther, NEB).
 Largest and grandest of cats, the lion is filled with power. A swat of his paw can kill. His massive body forces him to rely on strength instead of speed in his hunting.
 A lion looks and sounds so imposing that he symbolizes royalty and courage. The highest compliment which biblical writers could give was to indicate that a person had the face or heart of a lion. Ari, the most common term for lion, means "the strong one." In <Isaiah 29:1> Jerusalem is called "Ariel," implying that the capital of the Jewish nation is "the strong [lion-like] city of God." In some translations of the Bible, a young lion is called a cub <Gen. 49:9>, (NIV), while other translations use the word whelp <Gen. 49:9>.
The Israelite tribes of Judah, Dan, and Gad-- and also the nation of Babylon-- adopted the lion as their symbol. Jesus is called "the lion of Judah" <Rev. 5:5>. Isaiah the prophet foretold that at the end of time, the Prince of Peace would tame even the fierce heart of the lion <Is. 9:6-7; 11:1-9>.
