PA S T O R ’ S D E S K "T

he wicked flee when no one pursues them, but the righteous are as BOLD AS LIONS.” (Proverbs 28:1) God’s people are arising and awakening in all the earth! We are AWAKENING to the promise of who we are in Christ Jesus. We are AWAKENING to the realization of the authority we’ve been given in Jesus to build the Kingdom of God in the earth. We are ARISING as sons and daughters of God filled with the gifts and virtues of the wonderful Holy Spirit. The understanding of our true IDENTITY as the children of God AWAKENS a Holy BOLDNESS—the BOLDNESS of the Lions of God. You are a LION, my dear friend! The ROAR of your praise and prayer has the power to release God’s Kingdom and change the world.

The Church is heaven’s training

center for the LIONS OF GOD in the earth. “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” (I John 4:4) The Holy Spirit lives inside you as a child of God and He’s ready to ROAR THROUGH YOU! It’s time for a CHANGE in your life. It’s time for a TURNAROUND and BREAKTHROUGH. It’s time for your ROAR to be RESTORED and RELEASED. It’s time for discouragement to leave your heart and be replaced by expectation and boldness! “Stir up the gift of God that is within you.” (II Timothy 1:7). It’s time to stir up your gifts and boldness and begin to ROAR for Jesus and His glorious Kingdom. It’s time for the LIONS OF GOD to ARISE! You are loved,
