Born In The Image Of The Glorified Christ – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 4th

(You Have Authority and Dominion in Christ)

TO THE BIBLE: Revelation 5:5
“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.’”

LET’S TALK
When some people think of Jesus, they still think of a baby in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Others see Him as the gentle Lamb of God that was crucified for us, while to some He is that great prophet of Galilee.

Yes, Jesus is the Lamb of God that was crucified on the cross to redeem man from sin; yes, He is that great Prophet of Galilee, and was once a baby in a manger, but He is now the “Lion of the tribe of Judah!”

He was slain for the sins of the world as God’s lamb, but He resurrected victoriously, not as a lamb but as the “Lion of the tribe of Judah.”

There’s a big distinction between Jesus that was crucified and the resurrected Jesus. The Lord Jesus that we serve is a King-priest! He isn’t some little man struggling with Satan.

As a man, with His Adamic perfection, He defeated Satan and all his demons on their own turf, much more now that He’s been glorified.

You’ve been born in the image of the glorified Christ, who is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. In other words, you’re the “lion” in your sphere of contact. That means in your classroom, on your team, in your home, you don’t shrink back in fear.

Something about the lion is that when it roars, all other animals scamper in terror. In the same way, the devil and the cohorts of hell flee in terror when you show up.

As you roar God’s Word in prayer, and declare faith-filled words, the devil, poverty, failure and sickness flee from you. Glory to God!

Hebrews 2:10-11

Pray:
Dear Father, thank You for this beautiful revelation from Your Word. I recognise that I’m born after the Lion of the tribe of Judah, having His life and nature in my spirit. I declare that as I meditate on Your Word and roar it as rhema, the devil, sickness, disease, poverty and every negative thing flee from me in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
