THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, THE POWER OF PRAISE
Revelation 5:5,6,10
v. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
v. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
v. 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Jesus, the Lamb Who was slain as the sacrifice on the cross of Calvary for you and me has become our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Now He is the Mighty One Who has come to dwell in us by the power of His Spirit. He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
Remember that the word Judah represents praise. As you and I praise the Lord and exalt Him and honor Him, He stands in our midst as the Mighty Conquering One Who has won, overcome, conquered satan, who is portrayed as a roaring lion. God’s power is released when I praise and worship Him. He is the LION! He is the MIGHTY ONE! THE MIGHTY ONE, THE LION is in me and is there for me and is released when I praise. My praise is like a roar to hell and satan and all his demons. Therein lies the power of God! When I praise God, I am saying that I have total confidence in Him, faith in Him. Praise is the highest form of faith in God that there is! Praise God! Glory to God! Hallelujah!
I have been told that an older lion roars the loudest because his teeth are not as good as they used to be. Whether that is true or not, I do not know. All I know is that Jesus has rendered satan powerless and given you and me the authority to tread on all of the demons of hell. We are the ones with the power delegated to us now. We are the ones who are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loved us and gave Himself for us. We are the ones who are called kings by The King. We are the ones who are called lords by The Lord. So, no matter how satan walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8), not only are his teeth not as good; they are removed. Jesus came to this earth with the sole purpose of removing satan’s power and authority over all mankind. Satan is defeated! We are victorious!
Hallelujah! Rejoice in Jesus and who you are in Him.
