There are so many voices flowing over the earth right now and there are two very distinct messages which I can only describe by two visions the Father gave me. In the first vision, I see a Lion in the midst of a field, walk up to a young lamb and nuzzle it and gently push it toward a path that leads to safety in the right direction. In a second vision, I see another Lion approach a young lamb, roar loudly at it, frightening it so that it freezes and is devoured by another animal.
For those of us who have received Jesus as Lord and acknowledge Him as the one true God, we have been given a great gift: the life force of a living God dwelling richly within us. There are many teachings over the earth right now proclaiming if you come here you can have this gifting, anointing, or wisdom, and if you go there and pay your money you can have yet another gift and by doing so you will locate the kingdom. We are ALL awakening into our true identity in Christ Jesus. When asked about the coming of the Kingdom of God, Jesus said this:
"'The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst (or within you)." Luke 17:21
The Father is expanding the comprehension of the authority of Jesus within his people so that the territory of the Kingdom of God can be expanded in our lives! A sleeping Lion already resting within the people of God is waking up! For far too long some have been limping with only a Lamb of God perception, often seeking others for affirmation or permission to walk in their authority, not realizing that they carry the Greater One within them and He has already given them the authority!
In John 17:2, Jesus speaks to the Father
"You have already given me authority over all people so that I may give the gift of eternal life to all those that you have given to me."
And then He takes His own authority and gives it to us!!!
"Now you understand that I have imparted to you all my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will be able to harm you as you walk in this authority. Luke 10:19 TPT
There is another group hobbling angrily along with only a Lion of Judah perception, often roaring, being rough and threatening. Sometimes these ones misuse or misappropriate their authority and cause great harm to non and new believers. The Father is tempering and balancing out both of these aspects of his character so that the Lion of the Tribe of Judah- who is Jesus will reside side by side within the hearts of his people next to the Lamb of God who also is Jesus.
Christ Will Subdue All Things
6 Then the wolf will be subdued and live with the gentle lamb,[a] and the leopard[b] will lie down[c] with the gentle lamb.[d] The young calf and the ferocious lion[e] will be together, and as a shepherd drives his flock, a small child will guide them along! Isaiah 11:6 TPT
The Father is taking us into, as The Passion Translation puts it, A New World Order! Where once before godly men and women have turned on each other and/or devoured others out of a lack of understanding, hurts and past failures, the Father is saying
"The failures of the past will be forgotten; they will be hidden from my eyes." Isaiah 65:16
Those who easily respond gently and understand the gentleness of Jesus and those who walk in authority and know how to do battle will begin working side by side like never before, teaching each other and imparting truths and experiential knowledge with one another, even relying on each other's differences- a manifestation of God's unity will increase as we embrace one another in our LOVE AUTHORITY!
Isaiah 65 is very key in this season to see the presence of peace in all things- He is SUBDUING ALL THINGS and He's beginning with Hearts and a Harvest!
The Father is wanting his people walking and responding in the fulness of authority, as The Lion of the Tribe of Judah while in the midst of the threats of death and sickness and disease, NOT in FEAR, but in FAITH! AND responding as The Lamb of God, loving the way Jesus loved, not fearing disease or sickness but appropriating our God authorized authority to take down the enemy. You have within you the Healer, the authority of the Lion, and the gentleness of the Lamb- all aspects of God's character are within you and nothing will stop you, only believe. Faith is the name of the storm that is building at this hour and it is the hour when the FAITHFUL will invite the FAITHLESS into a relationship with the One true King and Ruler- Jesus.
It is time to be bold- the arguments, the backbiting are all going to pale in comparison to the reality of truth- without Jesus Christ, there is no life- there is no hope, there is no eternity without our Creator. There is no longer time for tolerance, it is time to be bold as a Lion and make the introductions: Jesus is the Lamb and He is the only one who saves. Jesus is the One who conquers the threats of death.
DISEASE: I don't even want to mention the virus's name- the virus is a viper moving over the earth trying to corral God's people into a panic- much like when a viper approaches a herd of wild horses and they rear up. We are called to hold our peace, move forward as One following the Father's voice and as we do, we will cause our unseen adversary to experience DIS-EASE and retreat! The sound of the fury of God's people, united in a single voice of Love will not only conquer the illness but will change the minds and the hearts of people. The name that surpasses all names will be pronounced from the rooftops!
"There is no one else who has the power to save us, for there is only one name to whom God has given authority by which we must experience salvation: the name of Jesus.” Acts 4:11 TPT
"Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping. Look! The mighty Lion of Judah’s tribe, the root of David—he has conquered! He is the worthy one who can open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelations 5:5
“The scepter [of royalty] shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh [the Messiah, the Peaceful One] comes, And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples."Genesis 49:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
It is time to respond out of obedience to Jesus and not out of fear. He will guide you, he will lead you and direct you in every way.
I hear the Father say, "I did not design this disease. I am not in the business of destroying my creation- I have come to give life, not take it away. I am demonstrating my word," says the Father, I have sent My word to heal you. I have not given you a spirit of fear, so you will have the strength and the courage to Roar loudly and Love largely.
Territories are being expanded because Love is greater- Love is as strong as death, and My Love comes for you now! I am after everyone, My love is relentless! Have you given up on the least of these, has your love for fame decreased your compassion? Open your eyes and you shall see My outstretched hand, your own hand, reach for those who have been wrongly taught that I despise them- I cannot despise My own creation...I did once, and for 40 days as the flood overtook the earth I grieved the loss...those were my tears Beloved that flooded the earth. Enough is enough! The seals have been broken, LOVE will be the final outcome. You have the authority, you have the love, you have everything you need to go and find all of her- the missing ones who cry out, gather her together and bring My Beloved home to Me," says the Father.
