Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Called By Name

My child, I am He who formed you before the foundation of the world. I am He who knitted you together in your mother’s womb. I am He who knows you intricately. It is I who knows when you sleep and when you wake. I am familiar with all your ways; I know you. Yet I remind you today, My child, that your name is being called.

Hear the cry of My heart and the depth of My longing for you as I call your name. Come back to Me today! I invite you to join Me in a deeper place of intimacy. Today, hear My call as I am beckoning you to come and reset your focus. Fix your attention on Me, and I will reveal to you the things in your life that have slowly and subtly pulled you away from My presence – where you have sought to please Me in other ways, by doing things for Me, but your attention has slipped away from the essential pursuit of knowing Me first. My child, I desire your complete devotion, your full affection, and your whole heart set on Me with passionate love.

Activation: 

Take a moment to be still and fix your eyes, mind, and thoughts on Jesus. Ask the Lord to reveal to you what in your life has become unbalanced and what has subtly taken your attention from Him. As He reveals this, ask Him to help you release any burdens and realign your priorities so that you may come to Him afresh today and experience His presence.

Israel Redeemed

But now, this is what the LORD, your Creator says, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel,
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity];
I have called you by name; you are Mine!

Isaiah 43:1 (AMP)

⁴¹ But the Lord replied to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered and anxious about so many things; 

⁴² but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part [that which is to her advantage], which will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 10:41-42 (AMP)

² ‘I know ^[a]your deeds and your toil, and your patient endurance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested and critically appraised those who call themselves apostles (special messengers, personally chosen representatives, of Christ), and [in fact] are not, and have found them to be liars and impostors;

³ and [I know that] you [who believe] are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My name’s sake, and that you have not grown weary [of being faithful to the truth]. 

⁴ But I have this [charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].

Revelation 2:2-4 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Revelation 2:2 Here through 3:18, “your” and “you” are in the singular, referring to the angel of each church. Much of what is said is rebuke and admonishment, so if the angels are heavenly beings, they may serve in some way as representatives of the sinful people in their churches. Jewish tradition maintained that every nation and individual has a guardian angel, and that when God is about to punish a nation, He first punishes its angel. There is even a story of Michael, the guardian angel of Israel, being rebuked by God for the sins committed in the time of Ezekiel. So the original readers of Revelation might have assumed that the angels here are the guardian angels of the individual churches, sharing responsibility for the actions of the members.
