Dear Rise Up Family...
Imagine being a full-grown lion — muscles rippling, mane glorious, jaw capable of taking down anything with a pulse — but you’ve lived most of your life in a cage.
In License to Roar, I shared a vision the Lord gave me:
A lion finally released into the wild… yet trembling like a housecat trapped in IKEA.
Instead of roaring, hunting, or exploring, he hides. Why?
Because he doesn’t know he’s a lion.
He fears imaginary predators — not realizing every creature within miles is terrified of him.
He’s powerful, but unaware.
Liberated, but still thinking like a captive.
Free, but living like he’s not.
Sound familiar?
Most believers carry lions’ DNA but housecat mindsets.
We feel small because fear lied long enough that we assumed it was truth.
We assume danger in places where God has already given us dominion.
We beg God for power while forgetting He already placed resurrection inside us.
Here’s the beautiful twist:
The moment the lion remembers who he is — everything changes.
His roar returns.
His stride strengthens.
The jungle responds.
And the same awakening is happening in you.
God isn’t trying to make you powerful — He’s reminding you you already are.
You are not fragile.
You are not insignificant.
You are not who your past said you were.
You are who God crafted you to be — a lion with authority, strength, and a voice that shakes the spiritual world when you use it.
