Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Change the Narrative

My beloved one, I know there are moments in your life that have been marked by trauma and grief, fear and loneliness, pain and loss. My question today is will you partner with Me in changing the narrative you keep of these moments?

You have the choice to choose how you reflect upon these moments. I do not dismiss or belittle the courage it takes to flip these memories around and look at them differently. It is your choice how you remember these times and the impact they had upon you. I want to show you today where I was in the midst of your hardest moments.

When you can recognise where I was in these moments – seeing how I upheld and fought for you – then you can begin to change the narrative. From that shift, you can begin to speak of the victories you have found in Me, of the freedom you walk in, of My everlasting faithfulness. 

When you can see with clarity where I was in the midst of it all, then the pieces of your testimony can fall into place, becoming a narrative of wisdom and power, glory and love.

Activation:

Close your eyes and think of a time in your life that you struggle to understand and make peace with. Ask Jesus to show you a picture or a memory of that time. Next, ask Jesus to show you where He was in relation to you within that memory. From there, begin to ask questions around how Jesus fought for you in the midst of this. What does He have to say about it? What clarity does He want to share with you? Spend some time journaling what He shares with you.

But I know the loving God will redeem my soul, raising me up from the dark power of death, taking me as His bridal partner. Pause in His presence

Psalm 49:15 (TPT)

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)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Healing Hearts

I, your Father in heavenly places, want to see hearts healed in ways you have never before seen. I want to bring deep healing to your heart today. There have been places of pain that you have walked through that have caused your heart to be bruised, wounded and even infected due to the depth of the hurt caused to you. I have asked you to come before Me with your heart wide open as I pour out My healing oils upon those places of pain. There are, however, hurts that you have held onto.

There are spots of bitterness, resentment, and deep feelings connected to the wounds you have now embodied as your own. 

Wounds heal and scars fade, but holding on for too long can keep you frozen in time. 

I want to release deeper healing to you so that you are no longer held captive to the wounds of the past. Release these things to Me with the conviction to not pick them up again. I have different things for you to carry in this season that you won’t be able to carry if you don’t allow this process to take place.

Activation:

The Holy Spirit has already been bringing to mind the wounds and heart hurts you have been carrying. Continue to sit in His presence and allow Him to bring to mind EVERY place of pain you have harboured or held onto. Sit with Holy Spirit and allow Him into each and every area of your heart.

Repent for the places you have been held captive by the hurts of the past and then put your hands out in front of Father God and release to Him all that you have been holding onto. Give Him each and every one – no holding back. Allow Holy Spirit to minister to you in this moment as He releases you from any places of captivity.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts![a]
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting![b]

Psalm 139:23-24 (ESV)
Footnotes
Psalm 139:23 Or cares
Psalm 139:24 Or in the ancient way (compare Jeremiah 6:16)

a bruised reed He will not break,
and a faintly burning wick He will not quench; He will faithfully bring forth justice.

Isaiah 42:3 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – I See You

In a world where you feel hidden, I see you.

In a world where you feel lost, I see you.

In a world where you feel hurt, I see you.

In a world where you feel tired, I see you.

In a world where you feel like giving up, I see you.

My child, I see you. Do you not see Me?

I am here, shining a light on you.

I am here, guiding you.

I am here, pouring healing oils over you.

I am here, inviting you to rest in Me.

I am here, cheering you on because I am a proud Father who sees all your potential.

In a world that seeks to pull you down, look up! Then you’ll see Me. You’ll see My arms have been extended the entire time, eager to lift you out of that hole and into My loving arms where you belong.

Precious child, take My hand. My heart longs to place you in My lap and hear you say, “Abba Father, I see you too, and I never want to let you go.”

Activation:

Ask yourself if you have lost hope in any situation in your life. Acknowledge you feel this way not because God has forsaken you, but because you lost sight of Him. Choose to look up and surrender it to Him. Take His Hand and allow Him to lift you into His loving arms. Feel the heaviness melt away as you get lost in His embrace. Hear Him whisper how He is working in the situation so your hope can be restored. Gaze into His eyes and tell Him you see Him now, and thank Him for His abounding love.

It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Deuteronomy 31:8 (AMP)

I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Psalm 16:8 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Kingdom Call

I am awakening hearts, minds and lives to My kingdom call and My kingdom sound. The harvest is ripe for the picking, and I am asking you to boldly go after hearts and souls at this time. Do not leave any stone unturned or any heart behind. These are My people and I AM THEIR GOD, they will bow down to Me and I want you to play your part in them knowing Me as their Lord and Saviour.

Boldly preach the gospel, reach into the lives of others, pray for the one in front of you, love fiercely, live set apart as an example that shouts above the culture of the coming days, dare to be different and do not shy away from those I have set in front of you.

I want you to play your part and to stir up braveness and boldness in the coming days. You can trust Me in the moments of being stirred; to share, to teach, to preach that I will not set you up to fail. You can trust Me to soften hearts and prepare the way.

Activation:

God is asking for your willingness to go where He asks, share with who He puts in front of you and to do the things He is setting up for you. Will you give Him your willingness today? Share your heart about this with the Lord, laying down any reservations, worries, fears, past failures (or what felt that way) and allow Him to exchange those things for boldness, courage, strength, the words to say and anything else He may wish to give you. From a place of obedience, many incredible testimonies will come that will give God glory and ignite your faith.

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9 (ESV)

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Matthew 5:14 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Speak Out

My children, I am calling you to use your voice. At times it appears safe to be silent and it may even seem stoic, wise, and reserved. However, in this season, I am calling you to speak out.

Remaining silent at this moment is to position yourself on a noncommittal fence. I have placed in you the ability to become the solution in many situations. I have given you My wisdom. You are able to show accurate delineations, beneficial steps of progression, highlight injustices and even call for recants, turnarounds and reaffirmations when necessary.

At this time your voice is paramount because I am requiring those who partner with My heart to speak out. As you align yourself with My thoughts, will, and desires, speak out so we can be a force for change together.

Consider David, anointed to become king as the youngest of Jesse’s sons. He worked as a simple shepherd boy tending sheep. 1 Samuel 16-17 shows he was not afraid to use his experiences as a springboard to catapult himself to new victories. I protected him and empowered him to overcome the lion and the bear. I enabled him to dispel the spirit tormenting King Saul with the plucking of strings from his lyre. I partnered with him as he boldly spoke My truths when faced with the battle against the Philistines. He ignored the taunting words of his older brother who called him ‘conceited.’

David spoke out, quoting his past victories. He used his voice to quell the fears of those around him and also highlighted the injustice of the situation. He emphasised the authority King Saul’s military men had as, ‘armies of the living God’ and lack of authority Goliath had as a Philistine warring against them. Finally, he confidently made decrees regarding the outcome of the battle.

I established those decrees. I will establish yours. My children, I will cause you to become victorious as you boldly speak My truth. Speak out My children.

Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a [a]javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.

1 Samuel 17:45 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] 1 Samuel 17:45 This weapon may have been similar to a scimitar (short curved sword).

The mouth of the righteous proclaims wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice and truth.

Psalm 37:30 (AMP)

“I am the Lord your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Psalm 81:10 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Battle of Declarations

Read 1 Samuel 17:1-58 (AMP)

Goliath had been coming out to taunt the Israelites for forty days, every morning he came forward and took a stand against them. He was declaring fear directly into the Israelite camp, and it was working.

Until David came along.

David had been living in a place of isolation in the fields, which had led him into intimacy with God. This intimacy grew David’s confidence, and as God delivered him from the claws of the bear and the lion, David’s assurance in the Lord grew.

So when he came to face Goliath, he had confidence that the battle belonged to the Lord.

David declared: ‘You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied…’(v. 45)

David understood that this battle was not going to be won on physical strength, but it was a spiritual battle upon which he was confident in victory through the Lord.

He spoke the name of the Lord and brought a higher authority into the situation. Authority is not about size, it is about who is behind you and within you. 

We invoke an authority that is above them all when we declare in the name of the Lord Jesus. The enemy uses the same tactics of fear and intimidation today that he used against the Israelites then. He will try to rob you of your confidence in God and keep you in a place of fear, insecurity and doubt.

Activation: Take David’s example today. Come to a place of intimacy with God. Ask him to remind you of the victories that He has already brought you through. Allow your confidence in the Lord to grow as you remember what He has done for you. Now bring to mind a battle that you are currently facing, make declarations over that situation in the name of Jesus Christ – that the victory is His. ‘I declare that I have victory over this situation (insert your own words) in the name of Jesus Christ. The battle belongs to the Lord, and in His name I will overcome.’

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Battle is Mine

Don’t over complicate the journey. 

Look behind you and see all the hurdles I have brought you through and see the defeated army of satan lying on the battlefield, defeated at your feet. 

Why are you trying to find a shortcut when I have carried you and been with you each step of the way?

It is in the journey that I have moulded you and forged you with strength in the fire ready to withstand the next attack. You are an overcomer; I have assured your victory. You need only stand.

Therefore, do not try and go too far ahead or turn back and give up. Look up, where does your help come from?  Look up and see heaven’s armies marching beside you and for you, for the battle belongs to me.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I know You are with me in this battle. Please give me the words to say to be gracious. Give me the strength for endurance and give me Your peace and patience as I wait on You.

Activation: 

Ask Lord Jesus what spiritual weapon(s) do you want me to have in this battle? How have I to use them?

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:5 (ESV)

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

Isaiah 60:1 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Bring Your Victory

It’s time to warfare through walls. For your victory from God is not just for you, it’s to break others into their victory as well! When we share our testimonies of God-breakthrough in our lives, we activate faith in others. And in an atmosphere of faith, we move not only from faith to faith but glory to glory!

Saints – Bring Your Victory. Release your testimonies into the atmosphere. Pray into place victories for others, from the secure knowledge of what God broke through for you. For your freedom brings others into freedom as well.

Arm yourself and push back enemy strongholds from others with prayer, fasting, and spiritual warfare in the name of Jesus Christ and the power of declaration. Ask God what are the areas of victory you walk in, then declare them over others as a weapon for God!

And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.

Revelation 12:11 (NLT)

#lionbites

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Look Ahead

My People, it’s time to look ahead!

You must see what I am doing – what I am going to do – so that you are prepared.

When you catch the Vision (Revelation) of what I am doing in the midst of the shaking, you will not lose your peace.

I am building My Church, My people, to be a light on a hill. You will be the place of safety in the storm; people will seek you My Bride saying, “Come let us go up to the House of the Lord; let us seek the Spirit of Wisdom.”

So prepare, prepare, prepare – put Me front and centre in all you do at this time. Let My Holy Spirit lead you and teach you afresh as you walk into this new place, this place of governing and decreeing My plans and purposes on the earth.

My Bride, trim your lamps, for I am coming in My glory to dwell and remain in the midst of you. Purify yourselves. Shake off the sin that so easily besets you so that you may run the race without those weights holding you back; it’s time to run into greater freedom.

Activation: Sit with the Holy Spirit and allow him to do an inventory of anything that is holding you back; sin can be those things where we are simply falling short of what the Lord has for us because we are walking/thinking in the ways of the world, not His ways, or baggage of previous seasons. You should not feel condemnation but conviction because your Father loves you and wants the best for you.

And many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house (temple) of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go out from Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Isaiah 2:3 (AMP)

Escape from Bondage

Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

Romans 8:1-2 (AMP)
