News about a revival at the Toronto Airport Vineyard Church reached us in the summer of 1994, and for our family's holiday, I arranged for us to stay at the nearby Monte Carlo Inn and we spent a week attending the Toronto Blessing meetings.

God's presence was strong in those meetings, and in the anointed ministry afterwards. One evening, during the ministry time, the presence of God poured heavily upon me, and I fell to the floor under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

While laying on the carpet, a sensation of deep peace enveloped me, and I received a prophetic vision that continues to bless me as much now as it did then.

I saw myself standing in a beautiful meadow of green grass sprinkled with flowers of every color. Suddenly, a huge male lion with a full golden mane walked up from behind and stood quietly at my side.

He looked intently at me with kindness in his eyes, and I felt no fear or concern. I instantly knew that he was Jesus the Lion of Judah. Ten years later, when I had seen Aslan in The Chronicles of Narnia movie, he looked very much like the Lion in my vision.1

The Lion nodded his head, and I understood that he wanted me to walk after him, so I placed my left hand on his shoulder, and we started walking across the grassy meadow.

Soon, we came across a man who was lying on the ground unwell and in great pain. The Lion looked at the man and nodded his head, and I knew that I was to kneel and lay my hand on the man's shoulder. The instant my hand made contact, the Lion tossed his head back giving a mighty Roar, and the man was instantaneously healed.

The Lion started walking again, and I followed his lead. Moments later, we came to a tormented woman who was being bound with chains by a horrible-looking demon, and she couldn't move. Again, the Lion nodded and I knew that I was to rebuke the demon.

I commanded the demon to release the woman and as before, the Lion tossed his head back giving a mighty Roar. Instantly the chains broke in pieces as the now-terrified demon scurried off in fear, leaving the woman free from bondage.

We continued walking and after witnessing more miracles, I realized that the majestic Lion would always be there to lead me, and when I obeyed his promptings, he would back me up with a powerful Roar accompanied with signs and wonders.

He has never failed me!

Your Invitation

Jesus the Lion of Judah, invites YOU to follow Him. The Kingdom we'll explore is accessed through a personal relationship with Him. If you're not yet following Jesus, NOW is the perfect time to start!

Jesus says, "'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?'" (John 11:25, 26, emphasis added).

By asking the question, "Do you believe this?" He's inviting you to repent and embrace His love, forgiveness, and transformative power. Repentance means turning away from your own ways (sins) to follow Him.

If you're not yet following Jesus, answer "Yes" to Him by repenting in your own words or pray this heartfelt prayer:

"Jesus, I acknowledge You as the Lion of Judah, the King of kings. I confess my sins and need Your grace and forgiveness. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I turn from my old ways to follow You. Fill me with Your Spirit of courage and strength. Thank You for my new life in Your Kingdom."

If you've prayed this prayer, welcome to God's family! Your Kingdom journey with the Lion of Judah has begun. Scripture says, "'They shall walk after the LORD. He will roar like a lion…'" (Hosea:11:10).

What It Means to Be Born Again

Born Again

To experience a spiritual rebirth; to come alive spiritually in Jesus Christ.

As a believer in Christ, you are now born again, a new creation. Old things have passed away; all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). The Holy Spirit lives within you, guiding you in life's choices and restoring your relationship with God, your Heavenly Father.

Paul declares, "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were SEALED with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the GUARANTEE of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory" (Ephesians 1:13-14, emphasis added).

The Greek word ἀῤῥαβών (arrhabōn) translated "sealed" means a guarantee, a pledge given in advance as security for all God's blessings for you.

Paul says, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…" (Romans 8:16, 17). Imagine. You're a joint heir to God's Kingdom!

  • "Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken! Who can but prophesy?" (Amos 3:7, 8).
  • "For thus the LORD has spoken to me: 'As a lion roars, and a young lion over his prey (when a multitude of shepherds is summoned against him, He will not be afraid of their voice nor be disturbed by their noise), so the LORD of hosts will come down to fight for Mount Zion and for its hill'" (Isaiah 31:4).
  • "'I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. … I will return again to My place till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.' Come, and let us return to the LORD; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight" (Hosea 5:14,15; 6:1, 2).
  • "So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, 'Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals'" (Revelations 5:4, 5).

I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion" … "Safe?" said Mr Beaver … "Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King I tell you." ―C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
