Lion Roars from Zion

Can you believe it? One hundred episodes. I just want to start this one by saying thank you. From the bottom of my heart—thank you to every single person who has listened, who has shared an episode, who has sent a message of support. I see you. I value you. Each one of you has made this journey what it is. And what a journey it's been. But before we celebrate, I need to do something else. Something harder than thanking you. I need to correct something I got wrong. In a previous episode, I taught that the Restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2 was the Holy Spirit. After deeper study, prayer, and looking at the text more carefully—I was wrong. And if I'm wrong, I want to be the first to say it. And I want to correct it. On air. Publicly. Because truth matters more than being right. So in this 100th episode, I'm walking you through five pieces of evidence that changed my mind. The grammar of the Greek text. The role of the Church as salt and light. The theological problem of the Holy Spirit being "taken out of the way." And the fact that Paul told the Thessalonians this face to face—so they knew exactly who the Restrainer was. Spoiler: It's the Church. It's you. It's us. And that changes everything about how you see your role in these days. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN • The correction I needed to make – Why I taught the Restrainer as the Holy Spirit, and why that was incorrect • Five pieces of evidence from 2 Thessalonians 2 – The grammatical shift from neuter to masculine, the role of salt and light, why the Holy Spirit cannot be "taken out of the way," and what Paul had already taught them • Why identity matters more than ever – The number one thing coming through our Healing Rooms ministry is identity. Who you are in Christ. How Christ sees you. And why knowing that allows you to stand. • What you're actually here for – The stats don't lie. You want deep dives. Scripture cracked open. Prophetic words unfolding. What's happening in the world today—and how to be prepared for it. That's what we're leaning into. • What the Restrainer means for you right now – You are not just waiting for the Spirit to do something. You are the Restrainer. Your presence, your prayers, your witness—they are holding back lawlessness. And one day, when the Church is taken out of the way, the end comes. ABOUT THIS EPISODE This is Episode 100 of Lion Roars from Zion. One hundred episodes of sitting down, reading the Bible, waiting for that rhema word to land, studying it more, and bringing prophetic insights to you. I love this journey.

A vision of black cloud and lightning. No interpretation. Just a lead balloon in the middle of a feast. It felt out of place—until the next morning, when an open Bible revealed the council of the Lord. This is a warning about false prophets (including the one in your own mind) and an invitation to stand, not run. Includes activation. Jeremiah 23:18 – "Who has stood in the council of the Lord?"

Elizabeth and her husband used to wake up, reach for their phones, and swallow the world before they had taken one bite of God's Word. Then they encountered a teaching from Rick Renner that stopped them cold: Do not eat until you have read the Word. This is what they had been doing for the last year, and it was confirmation of their conviction. In this episode of Lion Roars from Zion, Elizabeth gets raw and real. She shares the morning routine — the non-negotiable first hour where she and her husband meet Jesus together before they meet the day. What You'll Hear ✔️Why Rick Renner says the Greek word zao ("alive") is missing from much of the modern church — and how to get it back ✔️The shocking story from Nehemiah 8 where the people refused to eat until they heard the Word read ✔️Why verse-by-verse, word-by-word preaching has evaporated — and why this generation is starving for it ✔️The chef's tragedy: how preachers can feed others while starving themselves ✔️A young man's testimony after visiting their house church: "You are all in.” Listen and be encouraged.

You've heard about it. The one sin God won't forgive. The unpardonable sin. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Maybe you've even lost sleep over it. Wondering if a bad thought, a careless word, or a season of doubt put you beyond God's reach. Let me put your mind at ease. In this episode, we dive deep into Mark 3:24-29 — the passage where Jesus talks about a divided kingdom, a strong man being tied up, and an eternal sin. But here's what most people miss: Jesus wasn't threatening insecure believers. He was dismantling a specific lie from religious leaders who called good evil. We'll break down: • Why a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand — and what that reveals about Satan • Who the "Strong Man" really is, and how Jesus tied him up to plunder his house • The difference between blasphemy against Jesus and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit • Why the unforgivable sin isn't what you think — and why worrying about it is actually a good sign • A teaching from Rick Renner on the Holy Spirit as a jealous, Divine Lover Whether you've been terrified by this passage for years or you're just curious what Jesus actually meant, this episode will give you clarity, relief, and a fresh picture of your authority in Christ. The Strong Man is tied up. You are the plunder. And forgiveness is still on the table.

What if the most passionate love song ever written isn’t really about human romance at all? In this episode, we’re stepping into the mysterious, poetic beauty of the Song of Solomon—not as an ancient curiosity, but as a divine mirror. A prophecy. A love letter from the King of Kings to you. We’ll walk through chapter 2, verses 8–17, and discover a Bridegroom who doesn’t wait at a distance, but leaps over mountains to reach His beloved. We’ll hear His tender invitation: “Arise, come with me. The winter is past.” And we’ll sit in the stunning truth that your voice is sweet to God, and your face—yes, yours—is lovely to Him. This isn’t abstract theology. It’s the heart of the gospel: a pursuing, boundary-shattering, death-defeating love. So close your eyes. Let the spring morning wash over you. And listen closely—because the Lion of Judah is roaring, not just in power, but in passionate love for His bride. Key passages: Song of Solomon 2:8–17, Hebrews 12:1–2, 2 Corinthians 5:17 Theme: Intimacy with God / Biblical poetry / Gospel as love story 🎧 Tune in, and hear Him say to you: “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one—come with me.”

What do you do when you've seen God move—maybe even experienced it yourself—and somehow, it's still not enough? You find yourself waiting for the next thing, the next sign, the next proof that God is really there. You're not alone. A crowd gathered around Jesus in Luke 11 had seen miracle after miracle. And their response was basically: "Okay, but what else you got?" Jesus' answer is one of the most challenging passages in the Gospels. He calls them a "wicked generation" and says the only sign they'll get is the sign of Jonah. But what does that mean? And what does it have to do with an ancient prophet, a pagan queen, and a city that repented without a single miracle? In this episode, we unpack: · Why asking for signs can actually reveal a heart problem · The two layers of the sign of Jonah—death/resurrection and prophetic proclamation · How the Queen of Sheba and the Ninevites will actually stand to condemn us · What it means that "something greater than Solomon" and "something greater than Jonah" is here · How to move from being a demanding consumer to a responsive disciple If you've ever felt bored with your faith, or found yourself waiting for God to prove Himself one more time, this episode is for you. Because something greater is already here.

We all know the story of the prodigal son—the younger brother who runs off, wastes everything, and comes home to a father who forgives him. It's a beautiful picture of grace. But what about the older brother? He stayed home. He did everything right. And yet, he was just as lost—living like a servant instead of a son. In this episode, we explore the journey from slavery to sonship. Drawing from Romans 6 and the parable in Luke 15, we look at what it really means to be free. Not free to do whatever we want, but free to live as children of God—with full access to everything the Father has. We'll talk about: · Why the younger son wanted ownership but ended up with nothing · Why the older son had access to everything but lived like he had nothing · What Paul means when he says we're "slaves to righteousness" (Romans 6) · How we move from fear and guilt to freedom and joy · Why we're not meant to live in torment—and how we can be the ones turning the tables on the enemy · How all of this connects to being part of one body, one family (Romans 12) Whether you relate more to the runaway or the rule-follower, this episode invites you to stop living like a hired hand and start living like a son. Like a daughter. Everything the Father has is yours. Thank you for listening! May the Heavenly Father bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you shalom.

What does your "empty tomb" look like? The place where a promise seems to have died, a dream feels stolen, or a situation appears hopeless? In this powerful episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we go beyond a superficial glance at the resurrection story and discover a life-changing blueprint for how we confront our own dead ends. Most of us are like Mary Magdalene at the tomb—we see one piece of circumstantial evidence and jump to the worst conclusion: "It's gone. God has failed me." But what if the emptiness itself is the very proof of a miracle? We're diving deep into John 20:1-10 to unpack the three distinct postures at the tomb: · Mary's Superficial Conclusion: Seeing a little and assuming the worst. · The Beloved Disciple's Hesitant Glance: Peering in from a distance but failing to fully engage. · Peter's Forensic Faith: The bold decision to run into the confusion and scrutinize the evidence. This isn't just a Bible story; it's a masterclass in shifting from a victim mentality to a victorious one. You will learn how to identify the "folded grave cloths" in your own life—the subtle but powerful evidence that God has been at work all along, and that your breakthrough isn't stolen; it's resurrected. Join us for a profound 15-minute journey that includes a guided "Forensic Faith" activation prayer, empowering you to run into your own empty places, confront the lies of the enemy with the evidence of God's word, and move from confusion to unwavering belief. Key Takeaways: · Why we must challenge our initial, flawed premises about God in hard times. · The crucial difference between glancing at a problem and examining it with faith. · How to identify the "evidence" of God's resurrection power in your dead situation. · A powerful prayer activation to shift your perspective from loss to victory. Tune in and learn how to have a faith that doesn't just glance at the stone, but runs into the tomb and finds proof of the resurrection.

Everyone’s talking about the end times. But what does Good Friday have to do with it? In this episode, we explore how the Cross isn’t just a historical event—it’s the anchor that holds us steady when the future feels uncertain. We’ll look at how Jesus declared the judgment of the world on the cross, how His victory disarms our fear of persecution, economic collapse, and judgment, and how the Cross is the key to understanding prophecy. Plus, a simple activation exercise to ground your heart this Good Friday. **Key Scriptures Mentioned:** - John 12:31-32 - Colossians 2:15 - 2 Timothy 1:7 - 1 John 4:18 - Romans 8:35-39 - Ephesians 1:13-14 - Luke 24:27 - Revelation 5:6-12 **Activation:** Write down your fears. Under each one, write: *“But the Cross says…”* and complete the sentence. Place it where you’ll see it this week as a reminder that the Cross anchors our future. Thank you for listening! May the Heavenly Father bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you shalom.

We've talked about being real with God (Episode 88). We've talked about how He makes a way through hard things (Episode 89). But there's a piece we might have missed. The Israelites didn't walk through the Red Sea alone. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn't face the furnace by themselves. Paul didn't do his ministry in isolation. Even Jesus chose twelve people to do life with. So why do so many of us try to go it alone? In this episode, we look at the people in the background of those famous Bible stories—the friends, the families, the coworkers, the fellow travelers who made the journey possible. We'll talk about why community isn't just a nice addition to the Christian life, but actually part of how God makes a way through our hardest moments. If you've been isolating, if you're carrying something you've never told anyone, or if you just need permission to let people in—this one's for you. Because the way through might be closer than you think. It might be sitting in the room next to you.

Stop praying for your problems to just disappear. Start expecting God to make a way. On this episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we're shattering the myth that God's goodness is measured by the obstacles He removes. Instead, we dive deep into Scripture to reveal His faithful pattern as the ultimate Way-Maker—proving He doesn't just part the waters, but walks with you through the fire, through the flood, and through the valley. Get ready to shift your perspective and activate your faith for a breakthrough you never saw coming.

Feeling spiritually stuck? The barrier might not be your lack of prayer, but your reliance on your own understanding. When the world gets darker, our natural tendency is to buckle down and think harder. But God is calling us to a different response. In this episode, we lean into a profound truth: God isn't asking for your solutions; He's asking for your heart. "Don't Intellectualize It" is a journey into the freedom of pouring out your fear, pain, and confusion at His feet—daily. Learn how this raw vulnerability unlocks His healing, His peace, and the specific strategy you need for this season. Join us and learn the transformative practice of laying down your intellect to receive His life and light.

History was made this weekend. While the world watches the news of the US/Israeli strike on Iran and the rapid retaliation, a much deeper war is being fought in the heavens. What happened on February 28th isn't random—it is the exact convergence of two major prophetic themes we have been warning about. We are witnessing the activation of the Cyrus Anointing to set captives free, clashing violently with the ancient principality of the Prince of Persia. Drawing from urgent prophetic words from Jane Hamon that predate this moment, we break down why this attack happened during Purim, what it means for the fastest-growing revival in Iran, and how you should be praying right now.

In this urgent episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we break down the historic events of the last 24 hours—the coordinated Israeli-American strike on Iran and the confirmed death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Host examines what this means for the world, for Israel, and for believers, with references to Jeremiah 49, Ezekiel 38, and Zechariah 14. Featuring insights from Amir Tsarfati and Amit Segal, we issue a call to fact-check, to watch, and to pray. This is not doom and gloom—it is a wake-up call. The Lion of Judah is roaring.

In this revelatory episode, we dive deep into a transformative teaching from Bill Johnson on *How to Increase in Anointing for Miracles and Breakthroughs*, brought fresh from the Healing and Impartation Conference in Redding. Learn how to shift from merely *hoping* for breakthrough to *expecting* it—by living in the conscious atmosphere of God’s presence. We’ll unpack the four foundational values that create a spiritual “greenhouse effect,” where the supernatural becomes normal and your very presence carries tangible Kingdom weight. You’ll discover: - Why your “shadow” can heal people (and how to cultivate it) - How to turn your affection toward God in a way that fuels supernatural risk - The difference between *perfectionism* (religion) and *excellence* (Kingdom) - Why trusting God in mystery unlocks greater revelation - A simple but powerful activation question to ask the Holy Spirit today Whether you’re praying for the sick, stepping into new calling, or just hungry for more of God, this episode offers a practical, biblical roadmap for carrying more anointing—and seeing heaven invade earth through your life. Tune in, turn up the volume, and get ready to host His presence like never before.

In a world shouting "peace and security," how do we live without being consumed by anxiety or complacency? The answer is found in the powerful, prophetic, and intensely practical words of 1 Thessalonians 5. In this episode, we unpack the urgent call to be "children of the light" in the midst of cultural and spiritual darkness. We'll dive deep into: · The profound meaning behind the "thief in the night" metaphor and why it's a message of hope, not fear, for believers. · How to put on the essential armor of God: faith, love, and the hope of salvation. · The life-changing triad that is God's will for you: Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances. · The crucial balance between not quenching the Spirit and testing everything. This is more than a Bible study; it's a rallying cry. We're moving from learning to action with a clear "Lion Roar Activation" that will help you live alert, armored, and assured, with your eyes fixed on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.

What if one of the most powerful apostles in the early church was a woman—and we’ve spent centuries trying to erase her? In this provocative and groundbreaking episode, we excavate the truth about Junia, a name buried in the closing greetings of Romans 16. For generations, translators and theologians have debated, obscured, and even changed her identity. But the biblical and historical record is stunningly clear: Junia was not only a woman but was celebrated by the Apostle Paul as being “of note among the apostles.” Join us as we dive into the Greek text, expose the centuries-long cover-up fueled by religious tradition, and restore Junia to her rightful place as a pioneering, apostolic leader. Discover how her story—marked by suffering, authority, and early discipleship—directly confronts spirits of control and misogyny that still seek to limit God’s calling on women today. This is more than a history lesson; it’s a prophetic key to unlocking the full governmental authority of the Body of Christ. If you’ve ever wondered about women’s roles in church leadership, this episode provides the scriptural evidence you can’t unsee.

Where does spiritual warfare actually happen? In this powerful episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we expose the real battlefield that most believers miss - the space between your ears. Join us as we explore how the enemy's oldest playbook involves twisting Scripture to make death look desirable, disobedience appear obedient, and stupidity sound wise. We'll break down how: Spiritual warfare is conceived in the mind but executed through the senses The enemy makes sin "pleasing to the eye" and "desirable" just as he did with Eve Your biggest battle gate isn't demonic manifestations but sensory persuasions Modern examples of how Scripture gets twisted to confirm our lifestyles The vital connection between 2 Corinthians 10 and taking every thought captive Learn practical strategies to identify when truth is being twisted and how to fight back with divine weapons that demolish strongholds. This episode includes a powerful activation that will equip you to capture thoughts at the sensory gate and walk in complete obedience. If you've ever wondered why certain sins feel so justified or why disobedience can appear so logical, this episode will give you the biblical framework and practical tools to win the war for your mind.

For forty days, an entire army has been paralyzed—not by spears, but by a single voice. The voice of a giant named Goliath. And maybe you know that voice, too. It whispers through your debt, your anxiety, your addiction, your failure: “You’re small. You’re weak. You’re already defeated.” But what if that giant isn’t just a problem to survive—it’s a sign to awaken to? In this powerful episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we dive deep into 1 Samuel 17 to uncover a truth that changes everything: Your Goliath wouldn’t be in front of you if there wasn’t a David inside of you. The giant hasn’t come to crush you—it’s been sent to call out the king in you.

What do you do when your faith runs into real pain? In this crucial discipleship episode, we face the hard question every believer must answer: Where is God when I’m suffering? Moving beyond shallow platitudes, we delve into the biblical reality of the Holy Spirit as our Paraclete—the One called to stand with us in the courtroom of our crisis.

You can have a quiet time, but can you grow alone? In this essential episode for new believers, we make the vital shift from “me” to “we,” exploring why your personal faith was never designed to mature in isolation. We dive into the biblical truth that the Holy Spirit doesn't just dwell in you—He flows through the connected body of believers to equip, sharpen, and build you up. Using the powerful metaphor of the body from 1 Corinthians 12, we’ll break down the practical purpose of the local church. We’ll answer questions like: Why is deep community non-negotiable?

I’m so glad you’re joining me for another important conversation in our discipleship journey. We’ve been learning about the Holy Spirit—His power, guidance, and gifts. But many believers ask: How does the Holy Spirit connect to God the Father and Jesus? What does it even mean that God is three-in-one? If you’ve ever felt confused about the Trinity, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most mysterious—and beautiful—truths of our faith. But God doesn’t just want us to understand the Trinity with our minds—He wants us to experience the love and relationship that flows between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In John 14:16–17, Jesus gives us a glimpse of this divine relationship: “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate… the Spirit of truth.” Did you catch that? Jesus asks the Father, who sends the Spirit. All Three are present, united in purpose and love. In this episode, we’ll break down the Trinity in a way that makes sense—not as a confusing doctrine, but as the foundation of your daily walk with God. You’ll learn: The biblical basis for one God in three Persons Why relationship is at the very heart of who God is How to relate personally to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—without confusion A simple, practical way to invite the Trinity into your prayers this week If you’ve wanted to move from feeling confused about God’s nature to feeling invited into His divine family, this conversation is for you.

Is your spiritual life a little too clean and tidy? What if the very mess you're trying to avoid—the struggles, the questions, the hard work of growth—is actually the surest sign that God is doing something powerful within you? In this soul-stirring episode, we explore one of the most counterintuitive verses in Scripture: Proverbs 14:4—"Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; but much increase comes by the strength of an ox." While we often strive for a neat, comfortable faith, this ancient farming wisdom reveals that true spiritual growth requires welcoming some holy disruption into our lives. We'll break down what it means to embrace the "oxen" God sends to plow the soil of our hearts—those difficult obediences, challenging relationships, and deep convictions that feel messy but produce incredible fruit. Learn how to distinguish between pointless chaos and productive spiritual mess, and discover why a "clean trough" might be the greatest danger to your spiritual vitality. If you're ready to trade comfortable religion for a vibrant, fruitful relationship with God, this episode will give you the courage to welcome the work of the ox and anticipate the harvest to come.

This isn't just a historical footnote. On this episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we unearth the profound, life-altering truth within Exodus 38:8. Discover the powerful story of the women at the entrance, the shocking cost of their offering, and the divine transformation that turned tools of self-reflection into an instrument of holy purification.

In this powerful episode, we weave together four diverse Bible passages—Exodus 39, John 18, Proverbs 15, and Philippians 2—to reveal a stunning spiritual blueprint.

This isn't just biblical theology; it's a practical guide to transforming your everyday relationships and challenges. Learn how to move from striving for control to walking in the freedom of surrendered obedience, and find out why the path to being lifted up always starts by bending the knee.

What does a man pray when he knows he has less than 24 hours to live? And what if that man was Jesus? Get ready to listen in on the most intimate conversation in history. In John 17, we are given a sacred front-row seat to Jesus' final prayer before the cross. This isn't a prayer of panic, but of purpose. In this powerful episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we dive deep into the first five verses to uncover the core of Christ's mission and the shocking true meaning of "eternal life." Discover how Jesus defined His own glory through the cross, declared His work "finished" before it even happened, and prayed for the restoration of a glory He shared with the Father before time began. This is more than a Bible study; it's an encounter with the heart of God that will redefine your relationship with Him and leave you in awe of the finished work of Christ.
