Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Face Me

And I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel,

Ezekiel 39:29 (BSB)

The Lord declares to you today:

I have poured out my Spirit on you. You are selected to dwell constantly in my presence, with my Spirit filling your inner being. I have revelation for you, revelation that only comes from standing in my presence. My presence is revelation to you, so come up! Come up here! I call you today to come stand on the highest heights of revelation and proclaim My presence to the whole world, always, through every aspect of your being and every element of your life, forever. Come up high and experience what it means to stand boldly in the presence of your creator. Come into my presence – to which you are continually invited – and be enlightened so that you too become a light. Without you opening your mouth, you will proclaim my being, the truth, the light, the way, because that is who you are. Stand in my revelation – which is my presence – and you will receive a full mouth of choice words that will dwell in every fibre of your being and explode into creation around you.

Activation: How do you stand in the presence of God’s Spirit and receive His revelation? Sometimes we make it overcomplicated. First, know that God has all you need and wants to give it to you – let your faith be in Him.

Now, seek His face. Who are you Lord? How can I get to know you? Why did you do this? Just ask Him – no need to use special words. Just ask Him as if He was right beside you wanting to know what your question is. Next, make a record of this encounter – having asked Him, write down your question, and be ready to write down the answer when it comes. It will come, maybe instantly, maybe in a day or two, but you will understand more about God than you did before.

Jesus the True Vine

3 You are already clean because of the Word I have spoken to you.

4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.

5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

John 15:3-5 (BSB)

My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

John 10:27 (BSB)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Sound of Freedom

Do you know what freedom sounds like?

It’s easy to embrace freedom when it sounds like praise and celebration. But to get to that place an unravelling must first occur.

Before the sound of triumphant celebration is heard, the sound of freedom can be messy and mournful. Sometimes it is piercing and loud; other times it is fragile and fragmented. For is it not the sound of weights being pulled off, of scorch marks being healed, of broken hearts being pieced together? Was it not through the brutality of the cross that I set you free?


On that day, freedom sounded excruciating. For in the air echoed my cries of anguish, the ripping of my flesh, the cracking of whips and the hammering of nails. It was a complete unravelling. But on the other side of such violent turmoil the sound of freedom grew to be triumphantly thunderous. Where there was pain there came joy; where there was brokenness there came beauty. There is no need to fear the many sounds which freedom makes. Resist the temptation to shrink back from the noise and the mess, for the sound of freedom is triumphant in all of its forms. 

Activation: Are there areas of freedom you are contending for? Spend some time sitting with Holy Spirit reflecting on these things. Ask for Heaven’s strategy and then reflect on whether you are ready to partner with these plans. If you are, pray a prayer of surrender. If you are not there yet, pray for increased strength and courage to step into full freedom. 

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom].

2 Corinthians 3:17 (AMP)

Good News to the Oppressed

1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.[a]

2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of YHWH’s favor has come,[b] and with it, the day of YHWH’s anger against their enemies.

3 To all who mourn in Israel,[c] He will give a crown of beauty for ashes,a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that YHWH has planted for His own glory.

Isaiah 61:1-3 (NLT)

[a] 61:1 Greek version reads and the blind will see. Compare Luke 4:18. [b] Or to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. [c] Hebrew in Zion.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Dismiss Fear

Beloved, do you trust Me to be who I say that I am? Will you trust Me to be God in every situation and circumstance? I AM who I AM. I am the one who is above all things, but will you trust Me to be greater than what is opposing you? Do you not understand that what you fear gets magnified in your life? And what you magnify is exalted and given power, position, and authority in your life. When you bow to the spirit of fear, you are revering and worshipping it. But your worship, Beloved, is meant for Me alone. It is at the mention of My name that every knee must bow. That which is not of Me, must go.

By My Spirit, I have given you power, love, and a sound mind. Stand tall for My presence is with you. For I AM who I AM.

I am your shield and the lifter of your head. So, I say to you, My Beloved, lift your head in the spirit of fear’s face, stand firm, resist its position, and command it to flee, and it will do so.

Activation:

Wherever the spirit of fear is present in our lives, this gives us an indication that there’s an opportunity to trust God more in that area. So, examine what your fears are. List them out and invite Jesus to be Lord in those areas.

Next, pray the following:

Lord, I thank you for teaching me how to trust you more in this area of my life so that I may walk in a greater level of boldness in you. You did not give me a spirit of timidity, cowardice, or fear, but by Your Holy Spirit, you have given me a spirit of power, love, sound judgement, and personal discipline that results in me having a calm and well-balanced mind. So, I stand firm in the power and authority that you have given to me. I take authority over the spirit of fear, and I bind and forbid its activity in my life. I command you, spirit of fear, to flee from me now in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

3 “You must not have any other god but me.

4 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.

5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.

Exodus 20:3-5 (NLT)

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].

2 Timothy 1:7 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Dream with Me

Over the summer I am bringing attention to the night time. My revelation will come as you slumber and sleep. 

I have plans and blueprints for you that you can only receive through dreams because then I will have your full attention, no distractions of daily activities. These are comprehensive insights that need to be downloaded in your spirit in order to build the new. But you have to ask Me to give it you and then take the steps of obedience to pay attention to the dreams. 

Write the night visions down, even if you only remember a small part. Don’t despise small beginnings. Then, talk to Me about it, talk to others about it, listen to teachings of experts about it. Start cultivating a lifestyle of a dreamer so that you can dream with Me. 

Dreams are not a one off event that will carry a message for that day or that week. And I don’t give a dream every now and then. Be expectant of a dream every night. I want you to meditate and ponder on what the dreams brought you so that I can reveal even more about it. Ask for the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to get to know Me better through the dream realm. Getting to know Me better will understand My plans better. And those who ask for wisdom will receive it. 

If the enemy is stealing your sleep, know that I give sleep to my loved ones and that the night belongs to Me. Stand in your authority and command him to leave and know that what the enemy steals from the righteous, I will restore.

Activation: First, pray aloud: Lord, I want to receive your dreams and dream with You. Let me see in the night the plans You have for me. I will listen and write down your instructions. Bless me with the spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to get to know You better through dreams. In the name of Jesus, I open up the windows of heaven to receive His dreams.

Next, ask the Lord to bring to mind a dream that you need to ponder on to get more revelation from Him. Then dig deeper into the dream.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil–for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep.

Psalm 127:2 (AMP)

‘And it shall be in the last days,’ says God,
‘That I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see [divinely prompted] visions,
And your old men shall dream [divinely prompted] dreams;

Acts 2:17 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Special Forces

Kingdom warrior – are you ready for your next assignment?

Know that I have selected you for my Special Forces team for a reason. It is no small task and today I emphasise the seriousness of this matter. The preparation you have been through will now start to show remarkable results. At times, you may have felt that your prayers and your service have gone unnoticed.

I have seen. I have heard.

The impact you have on the spiritual realm is so much greater than you can imagine. The effect is tangible. Listen out for new special assignments that I will give you in the coming days. I am sending you into places and situations where you will have to deal with dark powers like a secret agent. 

I am sending you to deal with it swiftly and efficiently and then be gone before anyone knows. Sometimes, one sentence is all that’s required. Other times, your presence will be enough. See, I am sending My Kingdom Warriors to tear down strongholds, to demolish the work of the enemy and to decree the truth of Heaven.

Activation: Ask the Holy Spirit what His assignment is for you this week. It might be to decree freedom over a local area, to be present at a business event or to give someone a gift in secret. What did you notice afterwards? How did the atmosphere change? Journal how you experienced this assignment.

Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 3.8b (ESV)

A Hard Road before Them

“Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves [have no self-serving agenda].

Matthew 10:16 (AMP)

But when you pray, go into your most private room, close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:6 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – My Priorities

Beloved, I have a plan and purpose for your life and everything in it. I possess knowledge about every intricate detail of your life, right down to the number of hairs on your head. I am attentive to every detail and no aspect goes unnoticed by Me. I have already arranged everything, and I know the proper order and the necessary steps. I want you to give Me your daily schedule. Let me order your day and order your steps. Partner with Me and let Me be the one to guide and direct your day. Allow Me to lead you!

I know that you have been trying your best to accomplish tasks in your own way and to the best of your ability, but I have a greater and better way to get things done. Instead of getting overwhelmed by the chaos around you, keep your focus on Me. Ask Me about the priorities I have for you and learn from Me how to prioritise your day instead of worrying about the numerous things in your life that may be causing stress. Let Me show you My way of getting things done without the overwhelm, stress, and chaos. Move within My flow. My desire is for you to rest in My rhythms and gain refreshing for your soul even as you move about. Yield to Me and receive the refreshment that your soul longs for.

Activation: Have you aligned your priorities with YHWH’s? Let’s find out. Start by making a list of your priorities for the day in order of importance. Once you have completed this, set it aside. Then, ask YHWH about His priorities for you and write them down. Compare the two lists to see if they match in terms of what needs to be accomplished and the order of importance. Discard your list and follow YHWH’s. Practice giving your daily schedule to Him, seeking His priorities and methods of accomplishing them each day.

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You!

Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)

28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

5-12 Trust YHWH from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for YHWH’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to YHWH! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor YHWH with everything you own; give Him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don’t, dear friend, resent YHWH’s discipline; don’t sulk under His loving correction. It’s the child He loves that YHWH corrects; a father’s delight is behind all this.

Proverbs 3:5-12 (MSG)

What’s YOUR Purpose?

YouTube the internet, and media, in general, is awash with information. HOWEVER, what they cannot do is give you information on what is uniquely specific to you. Of course, there will be articles or videos, which seem as though the author is speaking directly to you and touches your very core, but at the end of the day, it can only steer you but not place you, where you ultimately need or want to be.

Recently, I’ve been coming across so many YouTube videos, where people are living with regret at not reaching their full potential. Realising their purpose. At times, we can come across those who are blessed with a mind filled with ideas and some who just don’t have a clue. The thing is to try and live a life where you have attempted some things opposed to doing nothing at all. I’ve always stated that we don’t want to reach the end of our lives and find ourselves unable to even attempt to do anything.

So whilst the sun shines, rain falls, and whilst you still have the ability to breathe and do for yourself, make an attempt to try at least one thing each day that places you closer to your main goal. You may say, ‘I don’t have a goal, much less a main goal!’. Well, then, start by working on YOU. What makes YOU happy? What brings YOU the greatest joy? Maybe that’s what you need to focus on. Spend time doing what makes YOU happy; what makes your soul sing. Once you get to that happy place within, ideas will begin to flow without you even having to try. You’ll find that once you reach a place where you can feel happiness, peace and joy within, everything else will fall into place.

At the heart of all things should be our Almighty God. Whilst you wait and search yourself, ask Him to reveal to you what He wants you to do. You will find your purpose will be something that He has planted within you. You may feel that there is something that you have a passion for, but you just don’t know how to get started. Converse with God and He will (or may have already) place something in your path to help you along.

Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete.

Romans 12:2 (VOICE)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Don’t Throw Out The New

In this season of building the new, you will find yourself scratching the back of your head wondering what it is that you’re looking at. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean that it isn’t Me. To really break with the old I want you to look for things that are out of your norm. If you see something that is different, do not panic. Take a good look at it, and ask Me what it is that you’re seeing. Talk to Me about it first; train your discernment. It might actually be Me.

I don’t fit in the box that you want Me to be in. I am bigger than everything else. Do not hold on to that which is now dead; do not try to resuscitate it. I will not raise what I have put to death. Instead, look for the new that I am birthing and see it as something exciting.

Prayer: My Father and my God, You are greatly to be praised and Your greatness goes beyond my understanding. Open the eyes of my heart so that I might better understand what You’re doing and what that looks like. Unveil my eyes where I have covered them with my own ideas and understanding of what Your Kingdom should look like. Forgive me for putting You in a box You will never fit in. I will look ahead to the new and I am excited for all the plans You have for me.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares YHWH.

Isaiah 55:8 (AMP)

Great is YHWH, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be] unsearchable [incomprehensible to man].

Psalm 145:3 (AMP)
