Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – It Belongs to Me

Yes, there are great battles going on in the world, but remember, I have the victory. I know the beginning from the end, and nothing is a surprise to Me. Show faith by walking without fear as this time is for My glory to be revealed in all the earth.

I am uprooting, replanting, and repurposing many of My people for such a time as this.

Now is not the time to remain silent but to stand.

In these days it is vitally important that you wear My full armour. Declare that you wear My armour! Every piece of My armour has a purpose and it is essential that My people – who are called by My name – stand in the fullness of My armour.

Activation: Declare Ephesians 6:11-19 over yourself, family, friends, community and keep declaring this over the coming days.

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say[a] to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Psalm 91:1-2 (ESV)
Footnotes
[a] Psalm 91:2 Septuagint He will say

Put On the New Self

1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Colossians 3:1-2 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Count the Cost

I have heard your cries for more of My Spirit. I have heard your cries to save the lost. My heart is to answer those prayers and yet you are not ready! My Spirit is Holy and wants to fill purified and willing vessels who will be obedient to My voice. Who will step out and speak out for Me? Have you searched your own hearts and minds as to why you want My Spirit?

Are your motives Holy and pure?

You are the vessels I want to use, to proclaim My Gospel, to share My love, but have you counted the cost of speaking out? Have you counted the cost of sharing My love? Have you counted the cost of the changes I will bring?

Remember what it cost My Son and remember those who have gone before you – what it cost them. Are you able to stand up against the flack? Are you able to hold your ground when people curse and revile you?

I will fill you with My Spirit to make you bold and strong but you will need to learn to hold your ground and to trust in the leading of My Spirit.

Activation: Sit with Father God and examine your motives for the prayers for revival you are praying. Do you really want to see lots of people saved, healed, and delivered? This will be a move that will cause much change in your church and fellowship. Or is it just the warm fuzzy feelings you are after? Ask Him to reveal any wrong motives and selfish thoughts. Repent of these ask for the Holy Spirit to create in you a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within you. Ask Him to fill you with love for the lost and strengthen you to stand your ground.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.

16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;

17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

Ephesians 6:13-18 (ESV)

Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps himself pure, just as Christ is pure.

1 John 3:3 (GNT)

15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”

Romans 10:14-15 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Spirit Led

Continue on the path set before you.

Look ahead but not with your physical eyes.

Look with your spirit.

Peer into the realm of My creation for there is so much to see and know.

Do you not believe that I AM speaks of such things?

When was the last time you read My Word,

For it speaks of such things.

My words, My essence, My thoughts have been passed down for generations, bound into books for others to read and study.

I AM spoke then and I AM speaks now.

But are you listening?

Ask Me!

I give wisdom and I give it generously.

But first let us sit and commune together.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit what He’d like to share with you today. Listen and then write/type what you hear being spoken or shown to you in a vision. Date the communication.

I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying, for He speaks peace to His faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish ways.

Psalm 85:8 (NLT)

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Romans 8:14 (ESV)

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

Romans 8:16 (NLT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Right Place

My honourable, honest, pure people:

I see you running with me, for my Kingdom’s sake. I know your life is laid down for Me, yet you are not in the right place. You ask, ‘How can this be? I have listened to you, I have obeyed you Lord.’

You have, and you continue to do so, but I see all things. Sit with Me and confess when you have found your life difficult, especially when others are flourishing in gifts or areas where you believe you are called. You insist that your focus, your life is devoted to serving Me, but your heart and emotions are not always in the right place.

Things do not come to you on a plate served up to you and circumstances can be testing. Avoid dropping into the depths of your emotions by instead trusting Me. I do not fail, and My love casts out fear.

Allow Me to stretch you with My love in these hard areas. Not effort or striving, but My love. I know your heart, including your reactions to the word love. Ask Me what I am doing and how I will grow you in these situations.

Do not just grit your teeth and put up with it. There is more to Me growing you into Christ than you just putting up with hardship.

I am next to you, and within you. I am ahead of you and behind you. Stay in My love; serve out of My love. Ask Me again to be filled. 

Remain in My love, for like My peace, it passes all understanding.

Prayer:

Lord, I gladly move back under your loving arms. I want to stay there and feel loved under your care. I trust you.

He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions,
And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.

Psalm 91:4 (AMP)

I will be glad and rejoice in Your unfailing love, for You have seen my troubles, and You care about the anguish of my soul.

Psalm 31:7 (NLT)

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)

Monday Morning Scripture – Matthew 22:24-29

The Two Foundations

24 “So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock.

25 And the rain fell, and the floods andtorrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand.

27 And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great and complete was its fall.”

28 When Jesus had finished [speaking] these words [on the mountain], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed at His teaching; 29 for He was teaching them as one who had authority [to teach entirely of His own volition], and not as their scribes [who relied on others to confirm their authority]

Matthew 22:24-29 (AMP)

Monday Morning Scripture – Colossians 2

You Are Built Up in Christ

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those [believers] at [a]Laodicea, and for all who [like yourselves] have never seen me face to face.

2 [For my hope is] that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in [unselfish] [b]love, so that they may have all the riches that come from the full assurance of understanding [the joy of salvation], resulting in a true [and more intimate] knowledge of the [c]mystery of God, that is, Christ,

3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge [regarding the word and purposes of God].

4 I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive [but thoroughly deceptive] arguments.

5 For even though I am absent [from you] in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, [d]delighted to see your good discipline [as you stand shoulder to shoulder and form a solid front] and to see the stability of your faith in Christ [your steadfast reliance on Him and your unwavering confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness].

6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in [union with] Him [reflecting His character in the things you do and say—living lives that lead others away from sin], 7 having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established [e]in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men, following the [f]elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Christ.

9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity (the Godhead) dwells in bodily form [completely expressing the divine essence of God].

10 And in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power].

11 In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but by the [spiritual] circumcision of Christ in the stripping off of the body of the flesh [the sinful carnal nature],

12 having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him [to a new life] through [your] faith in the working of God, [as displayed] when He raised Christ from the dead.

13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (worldliness, manner of life), God made you alive together with Christ, having [freely] forgiven us all our sins,

14 having canceled out the [g]certificate of debt consisting of [h]legal demands [which were in force] against us and which were hostile to us. And this certificate He has set aside andcompletely removed by nailing it to the cross.

15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through [i]the cross.

16 Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food and drink or in regard to [the observance of] a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day. 17 Such things are only a shadow of what is to come and they have only symbolic value; but the substance [the reality of what is foreshadowed] belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one defraud you of your prize [your freedom in Christ and your salvation] by insisting on mock humility and the worship of angels, going into detail about visions [he claims] he has seen [to justify his authority], puffed up [in conceit] by his unspiritual mind,

19 and not holding fast to the head [of the body, Jesus Christ], from whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows with the growth [that can come only] from God.

20 If you have died with Christ to the [j]elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were still living in the world, do you submit to rules and regulations, such as,

21 “Do not handle [this], do not taste [that], do not [even] touch!”?

22 (these things all perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men.

23 These practices indeed have the appearance [that popularly passes as that] of wisdom in self-made religion and mock humility and severe treatment of the body (asceticism), but are of no value against sinful indulgence [because they do not honor God].

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Moveable Foundations

The foundations that you have in Me are deep, strong, and steadfast. We have been through seasons of work together to prepare, strengthen, and uphold them. Now you are rooted, grounded, and firm in who you are and who I have created you to be.

But my purpose in shaping your foundations was never for them to only stay in one place, to only serve the land in which they stand. My purpose was to create foundations that are not only strong but will withstand the flex of movement.

I am calling you now to bring forth your firm foundations and move. Move into the places that I call you. There are territories with unstable ground that are desperate for people that bring the strength and maturity of tested foundations. 

I have forged you for such a time as this.

Hold firm in what you carry for I am calling you to places that will call for you to dig deep and place your foundations in ground that will be rocky. But when you remain in me you will not be defeated by the shaking.

Check your foundations regularly for cracks and signs of wear and tear – bring them to me and we will strengthen and heal them together. For it is only by partnership with my Spirit that you will have the understanding and discernment to do this effectively. 

I honour your faithfulness and your unwavering determination to stand strong in me. Now honour me by moving your foundations to the places that I have called you; to the places that need the strength and tested wisdom that you carry.

Activation: Ask Jesus to show you the foundations that you have built together. Ask him to show you the places that he has strengthened within you already, thanking Him for how far you have come. Ask him to show you any places that have cracks or wear and tear. Ask Him to show you where He is leading you to move – is it geographic, work, church, friendship groups?

6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in [union with] Him [reflecting His character in the things you do and say—living lives that lead others away from sin],

7 having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established [a]in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Framework

This is a season of being strengthened to steward My glory. To be able to bear the weight of My glory, your entire being – your entire physical framework – must be refined and prepared for impartation. The impact of My glory will crush you if you skip the process of preparation I have for you. This process will look different for each person but the purpose remains the same – to ensure that you are ready to carry this mantle.

Do you love Me?

The process I have for each of you is dependant on a foundation of unshakeable love being firmly established in your very core. It is that joy of love shared – you for Me and I for you – that will crack open the dry places within you, freeing up space for Me to move and prepare you for more.

Children, rest in Me throughout this process and resist the temptation to grow weary. There is grace in this time to go again, fully leaving behind what is no longer relevant.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to show you the dry places within you that God is working on to prepare you for more of His glory. With this understanding in mind, praise Him and thank Him for the good work He is doing within you. Next, dwell on the things you love about Father God. Tell Him these things. Share with Him what you are grateful for and what character traits you love. Allow yourself to be overcome with the feelings of love you hold for Him.

10 For our earthly fathers disciplined us for only a short time as seemed best to them; but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

11 For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness [right standing with God and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to God’s will and purpose].

Hebrews 12:10-11 (AMP)

I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Divine Purpose

Beloved, do not be discouraged when it is not obvious what I am doing in your circumstances, for I have promised to never leave you or forsake you.

Esther became Queen over the entire Persian Empire and was celebrated for her beauty, power, and influence. However, had she looked at her position from a purely human perspective, she would have missed its divine purpose.

When Queen Esther was called upon to speak to the king and expose the plot to kill the Jews, her position was put at risk. If the king failed to acknowledge her, she would be put to death!

Discouragement could have so easily defeated her, but instead, she chose to seek My face, trust, pray, arrange prayer support, and walk straight into her God-given Purpose! Esther’s actions ultimately saved the entire Jewish people, allowed Me to take out their enemy, and preserved the lineage of My son, Jesus, who liberated all creation through His death and resurrection! Now that is Testimony! So today, My Beloved, do not look at your circumstances but instead, fix your gaze on Me. Do not be discouraged! Hold your God-given course, partner with My purposes and watch what I will do!

A prayer to pray:

Dear Lord Jesus, today I hand to you all my positions and circumstances. I know you have a plan and purpose in my life and I want to partner with You in it. Please show me the changes I need to make to come into complete alignment with your will. Guard my heart from frustration and discouragement when I am positioned correctly but can’t see what your plans are yet. Please lead me, in your timing, right into my God given Purpose!

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?”

Esther 4:14 (AMP)

And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.

Romans 8:28 (AMP)
