Hi Chris Bellton here. Welcome to my podcast where I hope to inspire you to transform the world within you and transform the world around you.

I'm excited to share this message with you today. I pray the Lord ministers to you as you listen.

Good morning and Merry Christmas. Christ for the masses.

How many of you here you're visiting? Would you just raise your hand? I didn't get to see. Oh, well, welcome. So glad you're here.

You're never going to be the same. Some of you are laughing nervously.

So glad you're here. Well, let's pray holy spirit. We thank you for Christmas. We thank you for Christ for the masses.

We thank you that you brought us all together this morning, this place and this time. We know that you would divinely appoint it even the seat that we're sitting in.

Lord, I pray that there would be a divine moment this morning as we share and pray and preach. Lord, that you would that you would touch people in a way that.

Causes hope and faith to arise in them and that you would bless this day and that you would mark this day for so many that are in this room and that are online today that you would mark them that this would be a marking moment.

This would be a woman at the well or the prophet meets the king. Well, are we pray for that kind of a day today? Amen.

I think I think was in the service that I prayed last week. I'm not sure, but we were praying in staff meeting last week and I had this this kind of like an encounter as phrase go through my mind as we were praying.

Unleash the kingdom.

And then I saw a lion on a leash with a man like like had this lion as a pet and I felt in the vision.

I felt the Lord say to me that he's unleashing the lion of the tribe of Judah that's been domesticated and then I began to see that I was leashed.

I felt the Lord say to me, I'm unleashing you and I saw 10 years ago that I got leashed and nobody leashed me. I leased myself.

I'm sure Bill would like to put me on a leash once in a while.

So would my wife.

But none of that is true.

I felt the Lord show me that I had been domesticated that I have allowed myself to be domesticated. And I think some of it, you know, his as I look back over the last 10 years.

You know, when you're when you're in weerville and you're from weerville and you're still in weerville, there ain't a lot to lose.

You know, if you make a mistake like nobody knows it and actually nobody cares. And I think that as you know, as we've come here and as we begin to when you get known and you have some things that is really easy to not realize that you're sort of being fraud boiled in the fear of man and in the fear of failure.

And I didn't see that I want to be totally honest. I didn't see that in my life. You know how the Lord shows up and kind of mirrors back to you.
