Like a Lion

There's this new chorus we have been working on.
My God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

then the bridge goes
Let heaven roar
and fire Fall
Come shake the ground
With the sounds of revival

I believe God is looking for a lion generation. A army that is ready to roar in this culture and provoke change. There's alot of revival like meetings springing up all over, and it's great thing to see thousands and thousands of desperate people in need of a touch from God, but I'm not sure this is a revival. The incredible thing about God is that He shows up when desperate hearts summon Him. He is is that faithful, that if we come together and expect signs and wonders, and have undeniable faith that He will produce creative miracles and bring His healing. It has nothing to do with a man or a place or a stage, it has everything to do with us being tenacious after the presence of God. Here's what I believe is a mark of revival.
first reckless hearts after His presence thats where we fall into the beauty of His holiness
then where there is God's Holiness there comes repentance. (I know I need this is my life.)
after that there comes an a expectancy for the miraculous. This is not a pentecostal or charismatic experience that you must shake and scream in some strange language. Although you may, but I think when God shows himself in revival type way, it will be such a movement that it will touch the most normal person and the most eccentric. It will be such a movement that every disbelief will bow down to worship the Lion and there will be a Roar so loud that in our worship miracles will just happen in an instance, that hearts that are searching for truth will find the only answer through the love we display in our lives and that Peace will come when in our worship the darkness will flee from this planet as we sing one song together of the Holiness of God. I love the visual of Aslan. A warrior but still so relate able and authentic and loving but dangerous. A new favorite book of mine that I just finished is called the SHACK. It was so refreshing to read and visualize the different faces of who God is. I think we will all be surprised one day to find out what we thought was God was completely not. So here's my thought's, may we experience a personal revival in our lives that provokes repentance and produces a resurrection power for all the world to see. Like a lion.
