In 2020 the Lord gave me a vision of four words that would be progressively witnessed over the decade ahead. The words all began with the letter "R": "Remnant," "Ruach," "Roar" and, finally, "Rise."
"This Is My Remnant!"
A remnant is a surviving group of people from a former era; 2020 definitely brought His remnant into a new era. It was as if the Lord was announcing to the powers and principalities, "This is My remnant!"
Receiving the Ruach of God
Then, over the past five years, it has been a time of the remnant receiving His ruach—His breath—that has been needed to revive His true remnant who have remained faithful and pure. It has been a time that could have easily taken our breath away due to exposures of sin at high levels in the Church, and due to the level of evil that calls itself good throughout the world.
God has released His breath upon His remnant who have faced a long period of trials that have threatened to take their breath away.
We Have Entered the Time of His Roar
I believe that as we entered the year 2026, we also entered the time of HIS ROAR. I was amazed when I heard that Israel had named its operation against Iran "Roaring Lion." It was confirmation of this time. (Photo via Flickr)
Why Do Lions Roar?
I did some research into the reasons that a lion roars, and this is what I discovered: "Lions roar primarily to communicate across long distances... establishing territorial boundaries, intimidating rivals, and locating lost pride members" (Google Gemini, "Why do Lion's roar?" March 10, 2026).
Key Reasons Why Lions Roar:
• Territorial defense. Roars warn neighboring prides and solitary males to stay away from the group's hunting grounds and resources.
• Communication. They help lost pride members locate each other and coordinate movements.
• Showing power. A loud, frequent roar signals strength to competitors.
• Social bonding. Group roaring strengthens relationships within the pride.
Roaring to "'De-seat" the Deceitful
The Lord is roaring to establish His territory (Kingdom) and to bring forth justice to the many injustices being committed and inflicted on people by evil leaders. The wolves who posed as shepherds are being exposed, and the regimes that oppressed their people for their own gain are being judged. The Lion of Judah is roaring across the earth!
The Lord spoke these words to me in 2023: "Watch Me over the coming years as I 'de-seat' the deceitful!"
Those who deceived the Church are losing their seats of authority and influence. And those who have used their governmental seats of authority to partner with deceit and evil are losing their seats, and even their lives.
The roar can almost be interpreted as God saying, "ENOUGH!"
The Sun of Righteousness Is Rising over You!
I do not know how long this ROAR will last, because it may have different aspects, including calling those who have been lost to be found and brought back into His fold. What I am confident of is that we will RISE! As His remnant and even nations return to the fear of the Lord, we will see Malachi 4:2:
"But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture." (NLT)
Lift up Your Roar!
This is the time to roar. As we roar with the Lord in prayer, declarations, truth, and justice, we are establishing unity within His people and a bond that will not be broken.
While the enemy seeks to form alliances and provokes a demonic roar to establish an evil bond, the roar of the remnant of the Lion of the tribe of Judah will break their bond, unravel their cords (creating discord), and weaken their cause.
Even this past week, I have watched as different nations are creating a demonic alliance and cords that they will attempt to braid together against the Lion's roar. But as we join with God's roar, we will see these alliances break down and they will scatter in many directions.
Pray for the nations aligning with evil that God would defeat the enemy and raise up His standard in those places.
RELEASE YOUR ROAR! YOU ARE IN HIS ROAR!
