Prophetic Vision: The Lion of Judah & His Turnaround Decree

Two weeks before the 2020 elections, I was in Oklahoma City for the annual HAPN prayer conference when the Lord gave me a vision conveying how He is redeeming scrolls of destiny, even for our nation.

A form materialized before my eyes. I knew immediately this was the Lion of Judah. At first His appearance was translucent. As I continued to watch, His appearance increased in vibrancy and glory. Then this Lion began to roar over the nation. The manifest presence of God accompanied the visitation.

In the midst of the vision, times and seasons began to become clear. I saw how the season we were entering was similar to the midnight hour when Jacob wrestled with the Angel of the Lord. Eventually at dawn he prevailed. Until that time darkness obscured both the form of the Lord and the surroundings of his environment. They were barely able to be perceived.

And a word from the Lord then came.

It has seemed to you that a veil of darkness has been restricting your full capacity to perceive and understand. As you now engage with the Lord, the dawn begins to awaken. Your wrestling leads to breakthrough. This veil of darkness that has obscured both your perception of Jesus and your understanding of the times IS BEING REMOVED.

Remember, names convey identity. Just as Jacob became Israel, many of you are even going to be given a new name from the Lord prophetically. The Hebrew meaning of Jacob is “Deceiver.” The name given to him by the angel was “Israel,” meaning “Prince of God” or “one who wrestles with God.” Only after this blessing was bestowed was he allowed to cross over, entering the land of Israel as Israel.

It is the same with you. It is the same with our nation. Deception must and will be left on the other side of the river. As you enter into your new commissioning as a king and priest, you become legitimized, authorized, and anointed to possess your portion of God’s inheritance in your nation. It will take a war!

In the midst of this appearance of the Lion of Judah, the Lord began to show me great turmoil coming in the 2020 elections and beyond. I saw and prophesied on record that the elections would be contested. I also saw how travailing prayer and fasting needed to continue at least through November 11, the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower Compact. It was as though, in the end, only covenant with God would have the power to settle the coming conflict over our land.

The Lion Releases the Scrolls

As you already know, in the entire Bible there is only one direct reference to Jesus as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and that is found in Revelation 5. The Lion releases the scrolls. In this passage He is revealed both as the slain Lamb and the Lion of Judah. Victorious in His resurrection after paying the price for our sin, He has been granted the authority to steward the scroll of God’s redemption.

By the Spirit of revelation I saw how, in conjunction with Jesus’ redemption and our combined intercession, the scroll of the Father’s intended destiny for our nation had been redeemed. And the Lord is roaring His enforcement over our land!

Beloved, it’s turnaround time.

Remember, this vision of the Lion of Judah was given just two weeks before the 2020 elections. Given the timing I initially figured the elections were going to ensure a second term for President Trump. But when I prayed, in my spirit I sensed anything but this assurance.

Beware again of presumption. Friends, I’ve learned this the hard way. In all things we need to rely on Holy Spirit instead of our own understanding. The vision I initially interpreted as an indication of an election victory was actually given as a stabilizing anchor through a very difficult season spurred by very different results. And through it I discovered that God’s agenda to advance His Kingdom is often radically different from our own.

Scrolls from Heaven are being unfurled and released, bringing extraordinary shaking and exposure. His turnaround decrees are now being roared across the spectrum for you, for your children, for the Body of Christ, for Israel and America, and for many nations of the earth. A window to a new era is opening. This book is written to educate and equip you to maximize your opportunity. And in a way not unlike Esther or our nation’s founders, you are now invited to partner with Jesus Himself to define this new way forward.

Turnaround Decree: Lion of Judah

Father God, in Jesus’ Name I thank You now for Throne Room revelation to see Jesus as both the slain Lamb and the resurrected Lion. The scrolls of my redemption are in Your hands! Thank You for giving me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to understand Your will and Your ways. Roar Your covenant destiny over me and over my world!

Thank You, Lord, that by Your body and blood You have redeemed both my life and my destiny. You have made me to be a king and a priest. Lord, I receive Your coronation. I am royalty! I receive Your commissioning. I am a priest before Your Throne! Help me to grow in this newfound identity You have bestowed upon me. Help me to understand how to reign in the earth for Your glory!

Lord, I decree You are now granting me Throne Room vision. Synergize me with Your Throne and the activity of Your Throne. Lord, I decree my times are in Your hands! Rebuke the devourer of time and align me with Your Throne Room timing. Make me a Throne Room watchman!

Father, Your Word declares that “in Your book were written all the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them” (Ps. 139:16). Make the scrolls of Your redemption over my life very real to me. Help me to perceive them. Align me with Your turnaround decrees!

Lord, I invite the dominion of the Lion of Judah in my life and spheres. I decree that You now align my life with Your turnaround decrees. Align my family, my church, my work, my nation.

Your Word declares that “He who began a good work among you will complete it by the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:6). Please complete the turnaround that You have begun in my life. Healing. Wholeness. Provision. Strength! Shalom and love in my marriage and family. Turnarounds for my children. Deliverance from the hand of the enemy!

Lord, as you worked with Jacob, I decree that You are now bringing me through Your refining process to gain the fullness of promises You desire to release—to me and through me to Your people. Lord, I decree Your breakthrough, and I receive Your breakthroughs in the spiritual realm and over my circumstances. Anywhere I’m stuck, get me unstuck. Pull me across the threshold into Your new season!

As with Jacob and as with Israel, before Your Throne I now lay claim to Your covenant destiny and Your inheritance for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Now complete the turnaround! Release the fullness of Your redemptive purpose and destiny, in Jesus’ Name.
