Many years ago I endured a time of persecution by Christians in
the church where my husband and I served in ministry at that time. I believe
these dear people truly loved me, but were turned against me by one person's
accusations and lies about me. So, believing the lies of another Christian in
the church, they persecuted me. Their hatred for me was heated and their curses
vile.
Because of all the gossip and slander that ensued, I came under depression. I
felt emotionally numb and cut off from God. I knew in my mind that Jesus loved
me, but I could not feel His love for me. Being so passionately hated by my
brothers and sisters in Christ caused me to hate myself.
ENLIGHTENING DREAM
During this time of heavy oppression, I cried out
to Jesus to show me His love for me. That night I had a dream:
I was in a beautiful garden with many different
flowers and trees. The sun was bright and beautiful; it was a glorious place to
be. But also in the garden were three demons. They talked amongst themselves
until they saw me, then suddenly they attacked me.
They were all over me. One lunged at my legs, another at my chest and the third
jumped on my back and was trying to choke me to death with his arm around my
neck. I was startled awake by the intensity of the dream, but even as I woke,
the dream continued like a movie in my mind.
The Lion Came After Me!
I saw the three demon spirits attacking me and
could feel on my physical body the effects of their attack. I screamed out a
rebuke in the name of Jesus. As I did two of the demons flew off of me, but the
demon that was choking me remained.
I was terrified, yet I saw in the distance running towards me at a tremendous
rate of speed an enormous lion. By earthly standards this lion was abnormally
large. He was the height of a horse, but was much broader and his head was
massive. As he bounded towards me his mane flew out from his face as his paws
struck the ground. He was incredibly beautiful and was indeed an awesome sight.
He ran so fast that the hair on his body appeared to make waves like a wheat
field blown by the wind as he leapt and bounded towards me.
The sight of the lion was more terrifying to me than that of the demons. He ran
towards me with such invariant ferocity that I was frightened. He was enraged,
and his fury was terrifying.
The fierceness in his eyes
sent a shiver up my spine...
His eyes were very large and beautiful, but
fierce. He heaved and grunted as he galloped towards me, much like a warrior in
the heat of battle. The fierceness in his eyes sent a shiver up my spine. I
began to brace myself against his inevitable strike, but then I caught a glimpse
of his eyes and saw that they were not focused on me. I was not the target of
his rage, but his focus was on the demon that was on my back. All of his anger
was aimed at the demon who was clutching my neck, whose grasp I could physically
feel, though not see, around my neck.
As he approached in full gallop, I felt the ground shake as he landed again and
again. In one final burst of energy he leapt high in the air, opened his mouth
wide and lunged towards me. In an instant his mouth completely engulfed the
demon creature, and then, as quickly as the lion had appeared, he was gone.
The dream was over, and I sat up in bed completely awake. I was sweaty and out
of breath. I cried out to God, "What was that?" He spoke with the same
fierceness as the Lion and said, "I love you ferociously!"
Your Enemies Shudder At The
Sight Of Jesus!
I knew that I had seen the ferociousness of God. He was indeed, terrifying, but
I had nothing to fear from Him because that terror was directed at my enemies,
and His love enveloped me. My Jesus didn't just love me, but the driving passion
He felt towards me was terrifying to my enemies.
Jesus loves you ferociously too, and your enemies shutter at the sight of Him!
In Revelation 5:5, Jesus is described as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Yes, He
is the gentle Lamb of God who surrendered Himself for slaughter for your sake,
but He is also every bit the Lion of God, and His enemies tremble at His
approach. He is driven by an all consuming passion for His bride. You are that
bride!
I believe that in the days ahead we will see much more of the ferocity of the
Lion of God, but His wrath will be directed at our enemies. It is His love for
us that forces Him to manifest His anger, and this same love moves Him to devour
our enemies.
Dear God, I ask You to pour out Your ferocious love on all who read this
testimony and set the captives free.
Love in Jesus,
Victoria

this? You have this book in your hands. Experience an impartation of God's grace
and faith to fulfill all that He has for you.
 "The
Birth Of Your Destiny not only instructs you about theological facts
pertaining to destiny, but the fact that this book is in your hands tells me
that you are well on your way to the fulfillment of your destiny. It will
provide important keys to unlocking the fullness of God's plan for your life."
- By Francis Frangipane
Here Is Another Testimony:
I just finished reading your book. When I picked it
up to read the back cover yesterday morning, a lump formed in my throat and
tears came to my eyes. I knew God was going to do some work in me through this
book. And He certainly is. I'm going through a very difficult time right now
with many decisions to make, and I simply didn't know which way to turn. But
thanks to your obedience to the Lord, I am assured that everything's going to be
more than ok, and I can put the decisions in God's Hand and trust Him. - J.R.
