Sons of Thunder
And the herald claimed aloud, “You are commanded, oh peoples, nations, and languages that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar has set up.” Daniel 3:4
“I don’t care who writes your laws. If I can write your music I can shape your destiny.”
-Unknown
I believe that music is the most powerful force to shape the destiny of generations. When you consider the mass hysteria and sudden worldwide hypnosis created by The Beatles, you realize how at the right time and the right place a sound could frame the future of the globe. In the early 60’s the world was under the spell of a great expectation for a new world order and a new song of freedom. It was the dawning of the age of Aquarius. The Beatles seized that moment and their sound helped frame the counterculture of the 60s. Like in the days of Daniel, the Beatles music captured a sound that called the masses to fall down and worship their Idols. Now In this pregnant moment of history, where are the prophet musicians who will fast and pray and pay the price to pull down from heaven the sound of the Great Singer Of Songs that will call masses to fall down and worship this time the only One worthy of worship.
Years ago a prophet named James Ryle had a series of three dreams. It was all concerning a new music and a new breed of evangelistic musicians to come. They were The Sons of Thunder. The first dream portrayed a traveling evangelistic truck whose side would roll down creating a stage for a band to play. Behind the curtain in that truck were a couple of young men playing their blue guitars. They were playing not for a stage but to an audience of One. Their music was a prophetic (blue) sound borne out of deep intimacy with God. They didn’t know that their guitars were plugged into the ancient Beatles vox amplifiers. When the curtain was pulled back their sound waves created a tsunami of supernatural power that swept masses of souls into the kingdom. Their influence would be greater than the Beatles!
For years this dream has been hanging in the intercessory consciousness of God’s praying people. “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.” Habakkuk 2:3. Many times God’s dreams and visions tarry long but when they come to pass they do not delay. They come with sudden outrageous drama. Media blows up, heads spin, it becomes the current conversation of the masses. Isn’t that what happened with The Beatles? One moment on the Ed Sullivan Show, and The Beatles sound bomb goes off! I hear the coming of a another sudden sound bomb, an atomic explosion fueled by fasting and prayer. Millions will be saved and healed. Stadiums will be filled! Here come the Sons of Thunder in response to this great EKBALLO surge!
Prayer
Lord of the harvest, I and thousands of others hear the sound of the rumbling thunderstorm of another great Jesus Movement rolling in. Riding on the storm are this new breed, The Sons of Thunder. Why should The Beatles lead the parade of history. We are begging you Lord of the harvest to hurl forth these sons of thunder now into this hinge of history moment to reap the greatest harvest ever seen. Lord find your men and women playing behind the curtain. Send fire on their devotion. Pull back the curtain and release their day of a public appearance in the earth. Yes God do it!
