Isaiah 60:1-3, “ARISE, shine; for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2-For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall rise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you.
3-And the Gentiles (nations) shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”

Romans 16:20, “And the God of peace shall bruise (crush) Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, amen” (Gen.3:15).

Ephesians 1:22-23--2:6, “And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church,
23-Which is His body, the fullness of Him, that fills all in all.
2:6, And has RAISED us up together, and made us to sit in heavenly places in (the Anointed) Jesus.”

======================
THE LION OF JUDAH:
======================
Earlier today while in prayer, I’d heard the Lord speak about the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Jesus, Who is the Lion of Judah is releasing a holy roar from the very portals of glory. I heard the Lord say it was a ‘mating call’ sent forth to the Church---the Bride of Christ.

This kind of call requires a response because it’s a call to intimacy. A coming into that holy place, that place of the most intimate kind of communion and worship of the Lord. It’s that place where the Bride is instructed and prepared in righteousness, purity and holiness to receive the Bridegroom, Who is soon to come. The Bride is the body of the Anointed One---the body of the Anointing.

===================
THE GIANT RISES:
===================
I also saw in a vision this giant of a body, as it were, lying down upon the earth. I could tell that this giant wasn’t totally asleep but rather like it was dozing. It’s that place where you’re not totally awake and you’re not totally asleep.

As I looked at this giant, the roar of the Lion of Judah could be heard. The giant seemed to rouse itself up on its elbows but still, it wasn’t fully awake. Again came the roar of the Lion of Judah. This time, the giant began waking up and as it did, I saw it labor somewhat to totally get up on it’s feet.

While the giant had been lying down, I saw all kinds of demons (a swarm of them-different sizes and shapes) keeping an eye on it, as if they were guarding it. I had the impression that as long as it was down and in a somewhat comatose condition, it (the Church) posed little threat to the kingdom of darkness. I saw some demons walking around the giant, while I saw other demons that kind of ran along side it, acting in a state of nervousness.

=======================================
WEDDING DRESS AND COMBAT BOOTS:
=======================================
As I continued to watch, I saw the giant finally get up and stand to its feet. This is what was so amazing. When the giant began rising to its feet, it went through a change. While laying down in a half-doze, its garments had been rather dull and drab looking--no distinction. But now, it began to shine brightly. It began lighting up from the top and it went all the way to the bottom. The light was so bright on the giant that it made it appear as if it was wearing a long white dress. As the Lord pointed out, “His beautiful Bride. She had been His sleeping beauty and she was alight with His glory, for He had clothed her in His righteousness and holiness.”

I looked down at the feet of the giant and saw that it was wearing what was recognizable as military combat boots. I said, “Lord, she’s a ‘war bride.’ This wasn’t a surprise for I had known this but seeing it like this was quite different, that's for sure. The Lord said, “She’s to rule and reign with Me in my Kingdom.”

==========================
TERROR FOR THE ENEMY:
==========================
Once this giant (the Church) woke up and stood to its feet, the demons that were all around, those who had been responsible for keeping it half-asleep--I now saw them running in terror. They were scrambling everywhere, trying to get out of the way of the feet of the body of Christ. I saw this giant body take steps forward which shook the whole earth, and as it took those steps, the enemy was crushed under her feet. Praise the Lord!!

===============
COMMENTS:
===============
This is exactly what the Bible tells us will happen one day soon when Jesus comes back to wrap things up in the earth and throw Satan and his crowd in the pit. But do we wait until then before we crush Satan and his evil spirits under our feet? No! Jesus said in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power, to tread (walk on, trample) on serpents and on scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall any means hurt you.” He gave us, His body, His authority to exercise dominion and crush the enemy under our feet, now!

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is roaring now and the sound can be heard through the realm of the spirit. It’s a sound whereby demons are trembling with fear. It’s a reverberating sound from the King of glory, Himself. And it’s echoing like thunder through the corridors of hell, reminding Satan that his time of evil on the earth is just about up, and the Lord of righteousness is coming to take over totally.

In the meantime, the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ, is calling out for the Church to begin fully arising out of sleep and slumber. Its time to usher in the Kingdom of God in the earth---“thy Kingdom come.” Its time for the Church to “rise up, for your light has come” and begin operating, not only from a Kingdom mentality but in the kingly anointing, doing Kingdom business for the King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s.

Jesus is the Christ---the Anointed One, Who has an anointing from God (He still is anointed). As born again believers in Christ---as heir’s of God and joint heirs with Jesus, we also share in His anointing. We are the body of Christ. We are the body of the Anointing. Jesus Christ is Lord and He’s King and because we abide in Him, and He abides in each believer, we become little anointed kings.

Revelation 1:5-6, “And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
6-And has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever, amen.”

Therefore, let us, the body of Christ, rise up and begin declaring and decreeing into the heavenlies and into the earth, “thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it’s being done in heaven.” Let us, as the Bride of Christ, answer the call of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and send out the cry, “Even so, come Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:17, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let Him that hears say, Come.”
