The Lion Still Roars

November 24, 2025

“The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will stir up His zeal like a man of war. He will shout, yes, He will roar. He will prevail against His enemies.” — Isaiah 42:13

When the Bible speaks of God, it doesn’t paint Him as a distant observer sitting silently on the sidelines of history. Isaiah tells us He rises like a warrior, stirs His zeal like a man of war, and roars against His enemies. This is not soft language. This is the language of a King who is engaged, active, and unrelenting in His fight for His people.

We live in a world where darkness has grown bold. It mocks what is holy. It preys on the weak. It tries to silence truth and numb men into quiet compliance. But darkness is not louder than Heaven. The Lion of Judah still roars. His voice shakes kingdoms, topples lies, and awakens sleeping hearts.

Jesus roared in His own way when He entered the temple with authority. He overturned tables and drove out corruption because the Father’s house was meant to be holy. He roared when He silenced demons with a word. He roared when He faced death itself and declared, “It is finished.” That cry from the cross was not a whisper of surrender — it was a victory shout that echoed through eternity.

Every man who belongs to Him carries the weight of that roar in his spirit. You do not fight alone. You don’t stand against the darkness with nothing but your own strength. When you pray, when you stand for truth, when you refuse to compromise, you are not whispering into the void — you are aligning yourself with the voice of the King who still roars.

The enemy’s strategy has always been intimidation. He wants to make you feel outnumbered and powerless. But intimidation only works on those who forget who stands beside them. Heaven is not passive. Christ is not quiet. When He moves, mountains tremble, and the enemy retreats.

When you stand your ground, when you speak the Word of God into a situation, the roar of the Lion is behind your voice. This is why hell fears praying men. This is why compromise is constantly pushed at you — because if the enemy can silence you, he dulls the sound of Heaven’s roar through your life.

You were never meant to fight in silence. Stand firm. Pray boldly. Speak the Word. Live with the authority of a son standing next to the roaring Lion of Judah.
