The Lion of Judah is a "Neo-Pentecostal" and fully Catholic church faithful to the Pope. In addition to being a member of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Western Australia, Flame Ministries International through which this meeting was founded in 1990, is a Canonical Lay Organization Constituted as, "An association of Christ's Faithful, (Canon 301), entitled to use the name "Catholic" (Canon 300).

We are also Neo-Pentecostal. "Neo" meaning, "New" and "Pentecost"- al, relating to Pentecost of course. We use this term because it more accurately expresses the purpose and spirituality of our meetings and is aligned with the original terminology avoiding a "Gift-Centered" mentality. Our meetings therefore express a greater variety of the Charismatic "lifestyle" encompassing all aspects of Christian living and, unlike many prayer groups, our meetings are filled with vibrant praise and are also focused on the Preaching of the Word of God.

The purpose of a Catholic Pentecostal Praise Meeting is first and foremost to offer Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship to God and enter the Habitation of God.
Thanksgiving is related to what God has done and is always related to Salvation. Praise is related to what God is doing as it causes Him to dwell in our midst. Praise is also the language of faith and it is where the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit is made manifest as it did on the first Pentecost. Worship is related to who God is to you. It is deep and intimate worship in the Holy of Holies. This is where the Glory of God is present in the Shekinah which means, "Habitation of God." All other forms of prayer and ministry are important, but secondary to this. The bible tells us that "God dwells in the praise of his people" and "God's dwelling place is with man." Unless this is apparent, little else seems to happen. When our focus is turned more directly to prolonged praise, we begin to experience God's presence in greater power because the people understand the reason they are there. Often our meetings will be a continuous praise and worship from beginning to end as the Holy Spirit inspires us. During these times the Charismatic Gifts are manifest in greater power and frequency and we begin to experience a fresh and tangible anointing. One Revival Anointing in particular is called "The Baptism of Fire".

From this anointing, experienced at the Cathedral Praise Meeting in May of 1993, a Prophetic Vision and Prophetic Word were also revealed relating to a Global Revival beginning from that moment onwards. Since then, Revival has come to pass the world as the Prophecy said it would. This current Revival was first revealed to us in a vision, and prophesied in early 1990 by Eddie Russell FMI at a Flame Ministries International meeting in Perth. Since that time the Cathedral Praise Meeting has enjoyed God's presence in a fresh and tangible way. The Gifts of Healing and Miracles have increased as well as the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. "The Lion of Judah Catholic Prayer Fellowship" now continues an unbroken connection and continuance of the prophetic vision into the future.

We would be blessed to welcome you to become part of this vision and ministry. [email protected]
