Animal sounds/behavior in religious movements Articles Manifestations practiced, promoted and popularized by certain
renewal and revival movements, primarily the Toronto Blessing Movement. Allegedly under the influence of the Holy Spirit, some people manifest by producing animal sounds (clucking like a chicken, barking like a dog, roaring like a lion, etc.). Some people also act like the animals represented. It is claimed that these are manifestations of the Holy Spirit, and that the sounds and behaviors have prophetic significance, are useful in spiritual warfare, and/or signify proclamation (i.e. roaring is often as representative of the roaring of the "Lion of Judah" - one of the Biblical titles of Jesus. Some people see the roaring as a way of proclaiming that Jesus is King.)
