I am moving you into a season where you will feel My presence deeply and hear Me in ways you never have before.  The fear you have of the future will dissipate as you spend more time with Me. I want you to partner with Me in the next season and in the now. I have many treasures to show you and secrets to reveal to you, come closer into My presence.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Don’t Intellectualize It

Don’t intellectualize the space you are in emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I want you to come and pour out your heart to Me on a daily basis. As the times and seasons will get darker and more difficult. I am your hope and your constant help. Let Me hold, heal and ignite your heart with My joy and My peace. Let Me give you strategy on the direction I am asking you to take in this season. My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts. Let Me lift you into my constant life and light. Keep Me first as I have loved you first. Keep Me near as I stay close to you. I have and will always have your best interest at heart. Come to Me, and lay down your intellect and your desires.

Activation:

Spend time in God’s presence. Ask Him to show you where your intellect has got in the way of what He has been saying and showing you regarding instruction and strategy for your life. Write them down afresh. Repent and ask God for courage to do the things He is asking you to do. Spend some time praying and processing with Holy Spirit as He shares with you. 

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

Isaiah 55:8 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Joy in the Secret

I saw a beautiful, lush clearing with flowers among the tall trees. I could hear the gentle babbling of a river nearby. As I looked closer, I could see Jesus. He was swinging someone through the air, round and round. They were dancing together to a song only they knew. I could see their joy and hear their laughter as it wafted through the air.

As I continued to watch, the Lord whispered:
My child, can you see Me in the clearing with you having fun with you? Can you hear our laughter and joy joined together as one? Can you hear My song over you and see us as we dance together? I enjoy spending time with you. You are the apple of My eye. You are My delight.

Amid the chaos and storms swirling around, lift your eyes up and look for Me. You will find Me in that secret place of intimacy and joy. Remember it is My joy that will bring you the strength you will need for the days ahead. Now is the time to come away with Me and to go deeper. As you continue to keep your eyes fixed on Me, you will realize that I am trustworthy and steadfast. You will realize I am more than enough and more than able.

I will never leave you nor forsake you. When you begin to feel the waves closing in, remember to lift your eyes up and look at Me. Step out of the fear that tries to rise and step into My peace. Listen for My song I am singing over you. Allow My joy to consume every part of you.

Activation:

As you sit with the Lord, ask Him to show you what the secret place looks like with you and Him? Ask Him to hear the song He is singing over you. As you allow Him to reveal the answers to you, His joy will begin to rise in you in a more tangible way.

“The Lord your God is in your midst,
A Warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with joy;
He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins],
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Step into My Peace

The Spirit of the Lord says:

My child, I know you have felt afraid because the nations are shaking around you and the darkness seems to encroach on every side. I know that everything has been turned upside down from what you once knew; and some days you feel utterly lost and tempted to give in to fear.

But do not fear, My child. You are not lost for I am with you. Just as I never leave nor forsake you, neither does the peace I have given you. So, open your eyes. See, I am a nightlight in the darkness. As you shift your gaze from the darkness and fix your gaze on Me, you will step into My peace. Watch how the darkness trembles and flees as you draw near to Me. Let Me comfort you as you share your heart.

Then tune into My voice, feel My chest rising and falling, and receive My peace. Sit with Me until you feel My everlasting peace filling every place on the inside of you. Then, everywhere you go, hold on to the peace I have given you by My Spirit.

Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]

John 14:27 (AMP)

Jesus Comforts His Disiples

“Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me.

John 14:1 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Remarkable Wisdom

Sons and Daughters, am I not Your Heavenly Father, Creator God and Lord of all? All power, might, wisdom and authority are mine. It was with wisdom and understanding that I created the heavens and the earth and everything in it.

Now, My Beloved, imagine the very same wisdom and understanding live on the inside of you. Holy Spirit wisdom empowers you to rule and reign in life.

Do you need wisdom for family restoration? Is there opposition in the workplace with no apparent way through? Is it wisdom you need for a creative or business solution, or even the science for a medical breakthrough? There is no personal, business or political situation in your life or nation that cannot be resolved by My wisdom and understanding, as the Body of Christ lives in oneness with Me.

You have only to ask Me, listen to what I say and believe that you have received. In moments of resistance, lean into Holy Spirit on the inside of you and watch how wisdom transcends what is coming against you. In all areas of life, seek My wisdom and understanding, not your own. I have answers, intelligence and inspiration that will amaze and astound you.

I have heard of you, that a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight, and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you.

Daniel 5:14 (AMP)

9 However, some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (freed Jewish slaves), both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and [the province of] Asia, rose up and questioned and argued with Stephen.

10 But they were not able to successfully withstand and cope with the wisdom and the intelligence [and the power and inspiration] of the Spirit by whom he was speaking.

Acts 6:9-10 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Just Watch

Taste and see that I am good, for I give good gifts to those who ask Me. I am a good Father. I want to pour out over you My goodness and My gifts. I know your needs, your desires, I know when and how you need My help. Today I come to help you. Today I am asking you to watch Me, Just stand back and watch Me.

I want you to watch My goodness over you. I want you to see that I am good to you. There is nothing more you can do to make Me love you. Where there is need, ask and I will answer. Seek, knock, you will find everything you need in Me. Then just watch, watch how good I am to you.

Activation:

Today the Spirit of the Lord is calling you to trust in His goodness. Today, spend time with Him and He will meet you in the middle of your circumstances. He wants to complete a divine exchange with you. Ask Jesus to show you where you have been striving in your life, where you have been bearing the weight of finding all the answers to every problem. Write those areas down, then as a sign that you are trusting Jesus, lay those things down before Him. When you lay them down, know that God will supply everything you need for this season.

9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will [instead] give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will [instead] give him a snake?

11 If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him.

12 “So then, in everything treat others the same way you want them to treat you, for this is [the essence of] the Law and the [writings of the] Prophets.

Matthew 7:9-12 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Feast on Me

My child, who is your provider? Where does your provision come from? Are you depending on your own strength and resources or are you fully reliant on Me?

Allow Me to examine every area of your life, especially those areas where you are fearful of lack or even see lack in your current circumstance. Surrender these to Me afresh and let Me take away your striving. For I long for you to live in the abundance of My presence, the abundance of My peace and in the fullness of My Kingdom. I want more for you than material provision. I want you to experience My heart and to deeply know Me. Allow Me to show you more of who I am.

Activation:

Spend time with the Lord and ask Him where you are not trusting Him, and what it would look like for you to trust Him in these areas. Feast on His provision and on His promises and let Him minister to and reveal Himself to you in His abundance.

Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?

Matthew 6:26 (AMP)

1 Samuel 10:1-6 (AMP)

Saul among Prophets

1 Then Samuel took the flask of oil and poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has the Lord not anointed you as ruler over His inheritance (Israel)? 

2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men beside Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; they will say to you, ‘The donkeys you went to look for have been found. And your father has stopped caring about them and is worried about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’ 

3 Then you will go on further from there, and you will come to the terebinth tree of Tabor, and three men going up to [sacrifice to] God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine. 

4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hand. 

5 After that you will come to [a]the hill of God where the garrison of the Philistines is; and when you come there to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place [of worship] with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, and they will be prophesying. 

6 Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and you will prophesy with them, and you will be changed into another man.

1 Samuel 10:1-6 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Oil of Joy

Sons and Daughters, there are challenges ahead and you will need strength for the coming days. Remember that the Kingdom consists of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

However, many of you are caught up ‘firefighting’ the personal challenges of your life or are so busy ‘about the Father’s business’ that you have neglected your first love and lost the ‘joy of the Lord’.  Do not forget that My joy is the source of your strength to overcome. Even when you are going through times of great pain, know that it will only last for a season and that joy comes.

My Beloved, I exhort you to daily spend time in worship and adoration so the oil of joy released in My presence can sustain you in the days ahead.  Do not neglect to feed on My Word, like Jeremiah, so that it brings joy and delight to your heart and fire to your bones.

I want you to overflow with uncontainable joy no matter how hard life becomes.  Joy is your portion. Joy filled praise drives out the enemy of your soul, shifts mindsets and transforms lives. A joy filled life is beautifully contagious, bringing strength and hope to all.

And the disciples were continually filled [throughout their souls] with joy and the Holy Spirit.

Acts 13:52 (AMPC)

To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following:
To give them a [a]turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],
The oil of joy instead of mourning,
The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God],
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Isaiah 61:3 (AMP)
