The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready to run off even when no one’s after them; Honest people are relaxed and confident, bold as lions.
Dear Ones: Bold as Lions! Boldness is woven into your spiritual DNA because you are in Christ. When you choose to be led by the Spirit of God, you are recognized in Heaven as a son. Romans 8:17 declares that we are considered joint heirs with Christ in the eyes of our Father God. This is awesome news.
But you may say, “I don’t feel bold as a lion.” The enemy attacks your mind trying to destroy your understanding and confidence of who you are in Christ. He is afraid of you activating your spiritual DNA and becoming bold as lions. The enemy walks in the manner of a lion, but he is not. He is the great deceiver and pretender. This is how he makes people think he is more powerful than God. But the truth is that his power only comes from you agreeing with him.
When you feed your soul on the Word of God that tells you who you are in Him, then His Lion Nature rises up in you. And the enemy hears your prayers and declarations like the roar of the Lion of Judah. The very atmosphere changes and the forces of darkness flee. James 4:7 reveals the truth, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
May you rise up bold as lions and roar in the face of all that confronts you today. The Word of God that you have sown in your heart is eager to roar. Roar as a lion whose spiritual DNA has been activated. You are an overcomer in Him. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
