Sylvie Croslard argues that modern Christianity has become too soft, and believers need to reclaim a bold lion identity rooted in Christ. She draws on biblical passages about the tribe of Judah and uses clay metaphors to explain how humans, filled with the Holy Spirit, possess healing and deliverance power. The army of Judah numbered 186,400, she says, a picture of the powerful community of believers rising today.

As I'm recording this, it's half past 6 in the morning, just gone, which is unusual for me because I usually record on a Sunday afternoon, and this is a new thing. So let's begin. Today's topic is 'An Army of Lions is Rising.' The Lord showed to me recently that Too many teachings have been sugarcoating. They, they've been veiled in, um, people pleasing. Like, you didn't want to offend anybody, so we've been speaking about identity, being sons and daughters of the Most High God, being kings, queens, princes, princesses, whatever. But we forgot one thing: that King is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Naha! So if we're his sons and daughters, we're his cubs. If he's got a growl, so do we. If he's going after what is his, So are we. So let's carry on with this thought. The scriptures the Lord gave me are 1 Corinthians 2:16 and Galatians 2:20, from the Amplified: For who has known the mind, the purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. That's 1 Corinthians 2:16. Galatians 2:20: It goes: I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up for me. So at the time when Paul is writing in Corinth, he is up against some scholars, some people who have head knowledge of the Scriptures but no heart knowledge of it. People who had no encounter, no miracles, people who don't know Jesus face to face. It's also the place where he's meeting some, some of the tentmakers, people who've got the same language as him. Okay, so as far as we're concerned, we've been processed from the minute that we accepted too fast and to nail our flesh to, to show it that only Jesus is boss over it. We traded our minds. Um, there's been a trading of minds that's happened, an exchange of personality and of DNA, a blood transfer. We can't look the same because Christ has replaced our old blood, our old DNA, our old minds with his. We're now branded to our core, to our DNA, as being of Jesus Christ's tribe, of the tribe of the Lion of Judah. Lions don't sing, they roar. They don't shop for food, they go after food, and they wrestle with it if needed. They go after all that the Father said was marked as a sign to their names. So as I said, Paul met some tent makers in Corinth, some traders, So they spoke the same language, okay? And we're in a time where business and mystery language realign, where purpose, minds, and mouths realign. So, but you tell me, oh, are we pots? Pots don't have mouths, do they? No, they're not meant to, unless they're a pitcher used to pour out. We're not ceramic pots, we're made of clay, however, and clay has specific properties. From John 9:6 'When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with his saliva, and he spread the mud on the man's eyes.' So what are the properties that clay has? I've been researching this. I'll come back to that in a minute. But there's no better mind than the mind of Christ because he's all-knowing. On our own, we haven't got the capacity to be all-knowing, but because We made of clay, which has healing properties and deliverance properties. When the Holy Spirit and the Word of God fills us up, miracles happen. We get minds that are now activated by the glory, function by the glory, and become glorious outcomes. So I went on a research to the Vital Library, and the properties of clay are, quote, clay in its various forms has been seen for thousands of years as a natural remedy for health, beauty, and detoxification. Today, types like bentonite clay, kaolin clay, and French green clay are prized for their ability to support skin health, aid in gentle detox, and soothe digestive issues. Whether applied topically in masks or baths or taken internally in food-grade forms, clay supplements have gained global attention for their unique mineral content and binding properties. Clay supports detoxification by binding the toxins of heavy metals, aiding their removal from the body. Different types of clay offer targeted benefits for skin digestion, inflammation. Topical clay masks can soothe acne, calm irritated skin, and balance oil production. So here you go, we are made of the healing and deliverance stuff. Um, the devil's a liar, you know. We come built in with the ability to deliver and heal, and I want you to grab hold of that because it's part of who you are. You cannot not deliver, you cannot not heal. You are built in with deliverance and power in you because you are made from clay. So that place in Corinth was a birthing place for Paul. Corinth is a canal, a place of crossing over from the islands into the Mediterranean Sea where boats get carried across from one end to another. It's a place of coming out of the old place, old small place into the new and broad place, um, just like when a child is born, comes out in the world, um, so, and I'm wrestling with my computer right now, um, When it comes to, to clay, what is it really? It's a soft, loose, and earthy material that forms when rocks break down due to weathering chemical processes. This process results in extremely fine particle size, less than 2 micrometers, allowing clay to bind impurities, toxins, even certain nutrients. The mineral composition of clay can include silica, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and iron, making it not only a binder but also a mild source of minerals. So it's also nourishing. Come on, folks. So, um, the historical cultural use of clay for centuries, it was featured in healing traditions. Indigenous people use clay to soothe wounds, calm digestive complaints, and as natural soap. In nature, it was applied for mummification, and skincare, while Native American and African communities consumed certain clays to ease gastrointestinal distress or supplement mineral intake during food shortages. So Jesus reintroduced people to a practice that started with Moses, which was the laying on of hands to heal or deliver, whereas Isaac used the laying on of hands to bless his sons, to speak life over them, and prophesies to impart to them. Unless clay pots get broken down and mixed afresh with water, they— sorry, unless clay pots get broken down and mixed afresh with water, they can't be processed, they can't be made into new and expanded pots that can contain more of the new. So unless we get processed and go through a rebirth from the old version to the new and expanded version, our minds won't either. Christ's body took on new abilities by going in the tomb, by being being too broken to be of any use, to being refurbished down to its very membrane into a body that had new abilities that could do more, like troubling the spirits or going through walls. Now, if I have the mind, the same mind as Christ, the Lion of Judah, then I'm also a lion, and my mind cannot stay the same because a lion doesn't think like a man. It doesn't ask questions, it doesn't doubt, it goes after what it knows is his or hers to have. A lion doesn't question whether it should provide for its family. It goes and gets what's needed. Looking at Proverbs 30:30 in the Amplified Bible: The lion, which is mighty among beasts and does not turn back before any. Genesis 49:8-10 from the Amplified Bible: Judah, you are the one whom your brothers shall praise. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's sons shall bow down to you. Judah's a lion cub with the prey, my son. You've gone high up. He stooped down, he crouched like a lion, and like a lion who dares rouse him. The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. So why would the King of Kings, the Lion above all lions, back off before any? Why would the one who lords it over everyone and everything on earth back away? He is Almighty. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His power remains the same, and his willingness to bless also. Lions are kings and hunters. They don't mess about. They are powerfully built and they are built for purpose, just like clay is used on purpose and for purpose. This is the time when an army of powerfully built people who know how to war and to go after the healing that is theirs is rising. Judah has first place, pride of place, and gets to dedicate first because they put their necks on the line first, and they are first because they are the the best and finest warriors, the most terrifying ones, not necessarily biggest ones, the ones with the terrifying mindsets and behaviors. Numbers 2:3-9 in the Amplified: Those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah by their armies. And Naashon the son of Aminadab shall lead the sons of Judah, and his army was numbered total 74,600. Next to Judah, the tribe of Issachar shall encamp in Nethanel, the son of Zuar, shall lead the sons of Issachar, and his army as numbered total 54,400. Then the tribe of Zebulun, Eliab, the son of Helon, shall lead the sons of Zebulun, and his army as numbered total 57,400. The total of the numbered men in the camp of Judah was 186,400 by their armies. They shall move out first. Numbers 7:12, in the Amplified: Now the one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah. The devil can't tell you you can't be healed because healing lives in you, and he can't tell you you can't go after what's marked as yours in heaven so it can come to you on earth because you're going to rise and roar in his face and have the last word over him and his team. Arise, shine, for your light has come, Judah. Holy, holy are you, Lord Jesus Christ. We magnify your name today, Lord. You are worthy, worthy of all the praise, Yahweh. You're worthy, worthy of all the praise, Yeshua. You're worthy, worthy of all the praise, Holy Spirit. Anoint us afresh, anoint our minds, anoint our bodies. We thank you for this revelation you brought us today. Help us take it forward. Help us take it to the next level during our time of worship. That we will understand the magnitude of what being a lion of the tribe of Judah means for us and our families and all the new things that we need to grasp all the new understanding we need to get, the new scope. Lord, we've been robbed, you know that, but the first thing you want to restore is our understanding. We thank you, Jesus, that The breaking place was the place of realignment, the place of repurposing, the place of awakening, awakening to who we are, awakening to our purpose, awakening to our true selves. It's so, so good to say that we're kings, that we're royals. But boy, kings come wrapped in fur because they're lions. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for breaking our yokes. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your anointing that breaks our yokes. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your anointing anointing that breaks our stubbornness. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your anointing that breaks our ignorance. The place of revelation is face down. You can only go up in revelation with face down, kneeling, or lying down. That's when the visions come. That's when the hearing comes. That's where the picture comes, the greater picture, the greater strategy, the greater plans. You cannot birth a book unless you've— unless it's been put in you, unless you've been in the place of ignition. Seize the ignition. Let the fire arise. Let the fire arise. Let the fire arise! Ha! Shoyerrr! Ignite our seeds, Lord! Ha! Shoyerrr! Let us produce a crop! Ha! Shokerrr! Hundredfold! Ha! Torrrr! Thank you for listening to this podcast today. May the Lord bless you, keep you, make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you. Bye for now. Thank you for listening to the Your Light Day podcast.
