The Roar Of The King Has Sounded

I stand looking at the scene before me and am hardly able to take in the suffering and the bravery at the same time. Many of the highest have fallen this day, and many of the bravest. The battle waged for many a day and many a night. Many a foe and many a friend has fought side by side. All for the King, in the Day of the Great Battle. All for the LIGHT and for the TRUTH.

I wonder at the scene, and at the great cost of the battle. For no victor is seen bearing the Standard. No Trumpet is sounding signaling the victory. No one comes forth to claim the throne.

I began to wonder why I am here. What is my reason for walking among the battle ground of the dead and wounded. Why did I not fight in the battle? Where is the honor in surviving, and not standing? I began to be overwhelmed with grief at my own failure to stand with them.

Then, the Lord spoke to me, and said, "Your battle was not theirs. Yours is yet to come."

He then said, "You have yet to lead your battalion. It was not time for them to come yet. The battle you see before you is not really the battle. It was only the preparation for the battle. These who you see here, went ahead without My Word, nor My Hand upon them. They were not yet to fight, but went under their own wisdom and were led by their own passions. They fell by their own strength and humanity."

"This is only the proving ground. This is where the hearts of men are tested and tried in the fires. This is where the true warriors are birthed. This is where mine are forged out of My Own Spirit. This is not the true war, but only the skirmish sent ahead to draw away many of My Warriors. So many have been led astray and been defiled, and have fallen by their own strength and wisdom, and have been disqualified. They don’t even know they have lost the true battle."

I turned back to the Lord, and He was not there. I began to look all around and was fearful that I had also missed my own place somehow. I began to cry out, "Lord, Lord….."

Then, I heard a sound…………it came from somewhere and yet, everywhere. It thundered all through the valley. It roared through all of the slain and the wounded. It was so loud and fearful that I could not stand. I fell on my face, and shook at the sound of the roar that came. I could not breathe.

The roar got louder and more fearful as it grew. I cried out in terror at the sound, for I knew the KING had come. I knew that the KING had roared in the camp. I knew that I was unclean before HIM. No man can stand before the KING. I was also as one of the slain in the valley…….

I don’t know, but next, I was seated upon a ledge, and was watching as the LION of the Tribe of Judah walked through the camp. He roared and thundered as He went. His eyes burned with a fierce fire and they saw everything, and tried everyone. He had returned.

I began to tremble as He caught my eye. He burned right through my heart as He looked at me. I could see my soul laid bare before Him, and I cried out for mercy at His gaze. I could no longer bear my sin, before Him. I was undone. I was lost. I was as dust before His gaze.

He roared, and a wind hit me. It blew right over me and all around me. It was burning me and yet it was also pouring into me. I felt like I was being consumed, and yet, being reborn. I was being purified and tried at the same time. "Lord, forgive me, I cried. Let not your Holy Spirit leave me, nor be lifted from me. For you are all I have. There is nothing nor anyone else that I desire. Help me to be worthy of you."

He then stopped, and came up to me. The KING stood before me as a very fierce and mighty lion. He was both majestic and yet fearsome to be near. I shook so badly that I could not stand. He said to me, "You are right. You are nothing without me. You also are not worthy, apart from My shed Blood. No man is. I chose you, daughter. I choose each of those who serve me. I know who are mine and who are not. I know who will run ahead of Me and fight needlessly, and those who will wait for My signal."

"I have called you here today. I show you this so that you will know that the time is short till the real battle will be released. This skirmish is only the proving grounds. It is only the trial of the heart. It is the forging of the metal of their hearts. It is necessary, for the Day has dawned for the true warriors to rise. I have called them today. I have sounded the call from one end of earth to the other. It is time to stand."

"You saw the fallen and the many weapons strewn around and the various crests and ensigns that they wore and carried. The weapons that they used were not meant for this battle. They refused to sit at my feet and to be equipped for this Day, and they went forth, without My preparations and equipment, and they fell in their pride and foolishness. "

"The many crests and ensigns were the many truths and doctrines that they held dear, that were not My Truth. They boldly marched into battle without My Word to go before them, and were not fit for the battle, for they were deceived into thinking that they were right. Many banded together to fight together, but they failed to inquire of Me, or even to submit to My leadership. They did not need Me in their lives or their affairs. So, they fell by their own decrees and their deeds."

"The knights and the Warriors that were slain and defeated, were those who once walked close to Me. They once held My Counsel as more precious than their positions. They once held service as greater than honor. Now they fall in the skirmishes, and not in the battle. They did not have My Heart, as they lost it in their search for position. They lost their Vision in the quest, and also their hearts. Now they are counted among the wasted."

"There is no-one to raise the Standard among them as they did not fight IN ME. They refused Me and walked alone. There is no Savior for them. I alone and the Savior and The Trumpet that will be seen and heard among Mine Own. I AM the Lord of Hosts. I alone will be the Banner over My People."

I looked, as He spoke, and I wondered, at who could stand in this day………..

He then roared again, and it was so loud that it shook everything around us. A great earthquake then shook the whole land. I cried out in terror, and the KING then looked at me. He said, "Now you will see. Now you will know. Now you will be released. For it is time to call forth the true warriors who have yet to stand. It is time to assemble the battalions. It is time for the ranks to assemble. It is time for the Knights to come forth."

"It is time for the purged to be fitted with their armor, and their weapons for the battle draws closer. The sound of war has come. The DREAD WARRIORS will now stand and assemble their battalions and their ranks. They will lead My People to Me. The Release has begun and the Infilling has begun. Each will now be filled to their portion, and will walk in Me, as I lead them into their station. No more will the unclean be among MY Ranks, but the Bravehearts will now be seen amongst My House."

"For the Sound of the Roar of the King has sounded. I have called forth, and it has begun. Each knows their assignment, and will now be released to fulfill it. Not one will be left out, nor lost. For the gathering has begun…….."
