This Christmas Jesus will be reborn in you,
not as a defenceless baby or sacrificial lamb
but as the Lion of Judah.

You shall roar and my enemies will tremble and run from you.
You shall be a devourer of demons.
My light shall flash from your eyes, and darkness shall flee from you.
Your golden mane shall glow with my truth.

Your feet will carry my Holy Word with them
and you shall bound across the land, yes even across oceans and nations.
Your claws will be awesome weapons to my foes,
but my banner over you will always be justice and mercy.

Your breath will be a sweet healing balm to my wounded sheep
but when you roar holy fire will be released to purify and destroy the works of sin.

You have been caged in by doubt and lies you have believed,
by fear of man and even by fear lest you displease me!
Now I am opening the cage and releasing you from all the deceits of the enemy.
But you must choose to leave the cage which has been your home for so long.
I have watched your suffering there, and I know that place is very familiar to you.
But it is not the place I have for you, so you must come forth,
and choose the abundant life I have for you, choose your destiny!

But do not creep out with your tail down, but leap out in your new power and roar!
This roaring of my new lions will shake the spiritual realms
and release the manifestation of my power on earth.

There must be no bitterness or unforgiveness in you.
Shake your mane and rid yourself of this infestation of darkness.
There must be no pride or vainglory, no personal agenda.
But all must be for My Kingdom and out of your love for me,
Not from selfish ambition.

Arise, my Lions, and prepare my way,
for the Lion King is coming soon in power and glory
to claim his Kingship over all of heaven and earth.

Amen
