The Rampant Lion of Scotland

On December 31, 2021 I had a vision in answer to a prayer. Either on New Year’s Eve or on New Year's Day each year I sit with the Lord and ask Him if He wants to tell me anything about the coming year. That evening He gave me a vision. In the vision I saw a very large, square table surrounded by worker sewing a symbol, repeated, on a large banner. The symbol was the picture you see above. At the time, I knew I had seen that flag before but could not remember where. Out of the vision I looked up the “Rampant Lion of Scotland.” Now, I have Scotland in my blood . . . literally! I am a Wallace. 21 generations ago I had an uncle named William Wallace, the Scottish hero who fought for liberation from under English rule. I found out the this flag the “rampant lion” can only be flown by Scottish royalty, the kings and/or queens of Scotland. In that moment, the Lord impressed on me the “word” for New Year (2022) - “ROYALTY.” He wanted me to imagine myself as a prince in the house of my father the King (God Himself). If you are one who has submitted and given you life to Jesus Christ, you are also royalty. “But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY. 1 Peter 2:9–10.
