The Lion Within: Strength and Awakening There is a lion in each of us—placed there by God’s Spirit from the beginning, conceived first in the mind of God. This lion is not passive or tame. It is born with purpose, courage, and a relentless pull toward destiny. It will never cease to pursue the path it was created to walk. Each day, we are invited to rise and go after that calling with kingly passion. Scripture affirms this inner awakening: “The wicked flee when no one pursues,but the righteous are bold as a lion.”— Proverbs 28:1 Boldness is not arrogance; it is righteousness awakened. When we walk in alignment with God, fear loses its grip, and the lion within us stands upright—unmoved, unafraid, and resolute. This imagery is rooted deeply in God’s covenantal story: “Judah is a lion’s cub…The scepter shall not depart from Judah.”— Genesis 49:9–10 Judah’s lion points to authority, kingship, and destiny—ultimately fulfilled in Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Through Him, that same royal courage is awakened in us. We are not called to live crouched or silent, but to rise in spiritual authority, strength, and obedience. The lion within us roars when we step into truth, awakens when we embrace our calling, and moves when we trust God enough to act. This is not self-made strength, but Spirit-breathed boldness—awakening us daily to walk the path God has prepared

Seeing Ourselves as God Sees Us A kingdom vision helps us see ourselves the way God sees us—not through our past, failures, or limitations, but through His redemptive love and purpose. The Bible reminds us that our identity changes when we are in Christ: 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” In God’s eyes, we are not defined by who we were, but by who we are becoming in Christ. The old life no longer has authority over us; we are made new. This truth is rooted in God’s great love for us: 1 John 3:1 “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” When we embrace a kingdom vision, we begin to live from our identity as children of God, confident, renewed, and secure in His love.

Romans 8:16–17 “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…”
