Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Burn The Night

Allow the fullness of your identity in Yahuah to flood you and set fire to the darkness. Feel the fiery wind of Ruach reach you, like the breath of a furnace roaring deep in your heart. Set fire to the night and watch the light of Yahuah overwhelm all. For the light has come into the world and nothing shall overcome it.

So, child of Yahuah, put on your full armour of Yahuah. Feel its weight on you. Look at your shield of faith – how big is it? How sturdy is it? Now look at your sword – the sword of the Spirit. What colour is it? Marvel how mighty it is, how sharp it is.

Now look up. You are in a battle, but the war has already been won. Look around you – in the natural, the odds may seem overwhelming, but in the spiritual, there are more with you than against you.

It’s time to understand you are in a war, but you are not alone. For the King of all Kings and the Lord of all Lords is by your side, roaring your name. The Spirit of Yahuah is inside you and is the weapon you wield. Stand firm in the authority of the name of Yahusha and use it to cast out the enemy and heal the sick.

These are the days of demonstration, the days of holding nothing back and pouring it all out for Yahuah. Child of Yahuah, step boldly forward and share the good news of Yahusha, making disciples of all nations. You are commissioned today to be a disciple maker, a Holy Spirit gift demonstrator, and a signpost to Yahusha. Now go forth with Yahusha!

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in Yahuah and in His mighty power.

11 Put on the full armor of Yahuah, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of Yahuah, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Yahuah.

Ephesians 6:10-17 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – New Strength Is Here

My strength is here to fill you, so don’t give up now! Keep moving forward, keep on running. You can do it! I know you may feel weary, but I am right here with you. I will not ask you to do something that I won’t provide the strength you need to accomplish. You need My strength to soar. You need My strength to run. You can trust Me to soar higher and run further than you ever have before.

Just as David grew in strength to fight bears and lions, so you grow in strength as you fight against the enemy. My strength bubbles up from within you as you bring your battles to me, trusting me to provide winning strategies.

Know that I am your strength and shield, and you were created to be victorious – in every situation – with me. I can fill you with the power and might that you need for each and every challenge you may face.

You are never alone, for I am your everlasting help.

Prayer: Lord, today I choose to trust in You to give me the strength that I need to keep going and to keep believing. I need You as I am feeling weary yet my heart yearns to keep moving forward. You are my strength and my shield, and today I turn to You. Fill me with your power and might today so I can soar on wings like the eagles, run and not grow weary and walk and not faint. I trust You. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31 (NLT)

The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Be a Lighthouse

The world needs more lighthouses. You are called to be a lighthouse, rooted in the rock of Yahuah, shining your light to find people in the dark and guide them into the wide open arms of Yahusha.

For the days of prophetic evangelism are here! It’s time to eagerly embrace all the gifts given to you by the Holy Spirit of Yahuah and unleash them on a world hungry for Truth and Life. Put away embarrassment and bar disbelief from your door. Step out boldly in faith and shine your light for Yahusha.

For you are doing this for the hungry, the lost, the broken hearted who believe themselves to be the very least of humanity.

For every person is precious to YAHUAH. YAHUAH invites everyone to be in His loving family and you, child of YAHUAH, are Yahusha’s living, breathing invitation into His family.

Break the bonds of fear holding you back. Cast off the constraints society has placed you in and step out as YAHUAH’s ambassador in the world. The Ancient of Days, the eternal King himself, has commissioned you to go forth and make disciples of all nations.

It’s time to move in power and wonder, to be a sign post pointing always to Yahusha.

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though YAHUAH were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to YAHUAH.

2 Corinthians 5:20 (NIV)

As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Matthew 10:7 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Power Over Distraction

My beloved, the enemy is targeting the land with distraction. He is in overdrive charming people’s eyes. Before they know it, their flesh is hooked into unsuspecting sin.

Some of these sins are recognizable. But for most of you, he is tempting with innocent acts that morph into idolatry. Overindulging creates an imbalance of priorities, disrupting all sorts of things like your time, energy, resources, relationships, rest, health, destiny, and most importantly, intimacy with Me.

The enemy affects these areas by seeding your garden with weeds. He gains access when you sin. When your eyes are on Me, you notice the seedlings and can pluck them out easily through repentance. But when your eyes are distracted, the weeds take over, choking out all of your beautiful growth and fruit. It’s at this point you feel hopelessly entangled.

But alas! I have exposed the enemy, and there is hope. I am your liberator and restorer! In Me, your victory is found, for I have already overcome! Through Christ, you have authority over satan and ALL his power. You do not have to feel stuck any longer. Through My Spirit, I give you power to overcome distraction and tear down every idol! I release over you a supernatural strength, focus and self-control. Receive this gift. Rise up and break free today!

Activation: Ask God to highlight any distractions that have caused weeds to overtake your garden. Take authority and become free by saying this prayer:

Father, thank you for exposing Satan’s schemes so I can receive freedom today. I humbly acknowledge becoming distracted and falling into sin. Please forgive me. Specifically, I repent for [name each sin or idol here]. I command these chains to be broken off of me right now in Yahusha’s name! Fill me with Your power, self-control and a renewed Kingdom focus. Reignite my call with Your righteous fire. Thank you for liberating me and putting me back on track. I declare to keep my eyes fixed on you and make good use of my time. In Yahusha’s mighty name, Amen.

25 Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.

26 Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.

27 Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

Proverbs 4:25-27 (NLT)

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And Yahuah is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT)

15 So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise,

16 making the best use of your time[a] because the times are evil.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Dismiss the Distractions

I know the things that call for your attention. Things that on the outside appear interesting, that seemingly build your confidence and give the impression of being the right thing to do. You go after them only to realise that they come to nothing. They vanish into thin air so many times and turn out to be a dead end.

I want to remove these distractions from your life. I call out over your life today, “Distractions, you are dismissed!” Do not listen to the voice that says you are letting people down or that you are missing out.

I am breaking off the shadow mission that pulls you away from your true mission. Even the demands of ministry will begin to diminish as I draw your attention back to Me. When your steps are steering slightly to the right or the left, allow Me to gently push you back on track. What looks exciting is not always from Me. These distractions will only sap your time and energy. Allow Me to guide you on the right path, free from diversions. I am pulling your focus back to what truly matters.

Activation: Take time to ask the Holy Spirit what activities you need to let go of. These can be both spiritual and physical activities. What things are taking your focus away from your true purpose because they sound exciting or intriguing? Ask Yahuah what the two or three main areas are in your life that you should focus on in this season. Write them down if it helps you.

I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve Yahuah best, with as few distractions as possible.

1 Corinthians 7:35 (NLT)

Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions.

Proverbs 4:25 (MSG)

In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic – Deceptive Comfort

Oh, My child, how long will you seek other things, people, and devices for your comfort? Do you not see that I AM the one who cherishes and adores you so? Can you not see that My presence remains on earth in the form of the great Comforter?
It is time to recognize where you take your rest.

To whom and to what do you run to when weary and weak? Is it Me? Am I your rod and your staff? As you answer these questions, it will be clear to you where you seek consolation. Is this a trustworthy source of comfort? Now is the time to make a choice. Continue to seek peace and rest in deceptive comforts which are short lived and false or will you seek being comforted by My Spirit.

Activation: Identify those things you turn to when seeking to be consoled, comforted, or strengthened. Ask Yahusha to forgive you for trying to do things in your own strength. Repent for choosing deceptive comforts over choosing Yahusha. Ask Holy Spirit to be your “go-to” for comfort, rest, and strength. Spend time worshipping Yahuah through praise music that exalts Yahuah.

Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; your rod and staff reassure me.

Psalm 23:4 (CJB)

So the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, as it was being built up; and as it continued in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it kept increasing.

Acts 9:31 (NASB)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Unbridled Worship

As I looked into the spirit, I saw the image of a stallion standing on a hill, and in the background behind the horse was a large snow-capped mountain. The time of day was dawn, and as the sun rose, shades of pink filled the sky. As I looked closely at the stallion, it was wearing a bridle and although the full figure of a person was not visible, I saw a hand controlling the horse and containing its movements. As I watched the stallion, it tried to move, but the hand controlling the bridle would not allow it and forced it to stand still. The stallion tried to move again, but the hand stilled it once more. But as the sun rose higher in the sky, it burned the hand allowing the bridle to fall away and the stallion to run free.

The Lord declares today:
My beloved, today I want your unbridled worship. This is what I require as I am calling you to come higher. I am awakening in you this unbridled passion for Me. Your worship of Me has been restricted as you have been made to conform to what is socially acceptable. Many in the church have been contained by “appearance” and by those who feel that unbridled worship is undignified. “You look silly!” they say. “You sound ridiculous!” they say, “This is not how we do things here,” they say. But while the hand of society has said that you can only worship a certain way… I SAY that unbridled is what I require.

I require a worship that is born out of the purity of heart and the reverential awe of Me, worship that is driven by a desire to meet with Me and encounter Me, one that delights My heart.
Beloved, you have been contained for far too long.

My desire for you is to break loose and to run free. Today, as a new day dawns on you, I remove the bridle from your mouth, and I say to you, to run freely with the wind of my spirit!

Activation: As a prophetic act, stand where you are and remove the bridle from your mouth. As you do so say, “In the name of Yahusha, I remove the bridle of constraints that have been placed on me. I decree that I am free to worship God and celebrate His goodness. I will leap and dance with unbridled adoration before the One who chose me. And now, I choose to run with the wind of His spirit.” As you decree the last sentence, start running in place.

20 And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants’ female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21 And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince[a] over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will celebrate before the Lord.

2 Samuel 6:20-21 (ESV)
Footnotes
[a] 2 Samuel 6:21 Or leader

2 For if I brought you pain, you would be unable to bring me joy.

3 And this was the very point I made in my letter, for I didn’t want to come and find sadness filling the very ones who should give me cheer. But I’m confident that you will do what’s right so that my joyous delight will be yours.

2 Corinthians 2:2-3 (TPT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Open Seas

It is time for you to leave the harbour, My child. I am calling you out to the deep, open sea. You have remained in a safe place for long enough and it is time to pull up the anchor. Don’t assume that the sea ahead will be marked by storms, high winds and pirate attacks.

Expect My spirit to wash over you in powerful waves. I am coming to strengthen you and grow you so you can go to higher levels. So you can carry My glory for what’s to come. I will give you increased capacity, not only to cope, but to soar in the spirit. I want you to go further, further, further, until you can’t see land anymore.

Don’t be afraid. In this new space, the world will suddenly not seem so big and scary. I am doing this to grow your perspective and allow you to experience the vastness of My glory. Put on your explorer’s hat. I am taking you on an adventure of a lifetime! It fills Me with such excitement, thinking about what is to come for you. I am cheering you on as you take the next leap of faith.

Declarations: Choose your favourite spot – in your house or somewhere out in the open. Declare the following out loud:

  • I am leaving the safe space and choose to follow Yahuah’s lead out to the open sea, whatever that looks like.
  • I am not afraid, and I take this step of faith today.
  • Yahuah is increasing my capacity and is allowing me to see the vastness of His glory.
  • I say yes to the adventure Yahuah has for me.
  • Add further declarations that Yahuah brings to your mind.

You make known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

Psalm 16:11 (NIV)

Discipline in a Long-Distance Race

1-3 Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Yahusha, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how He did it. Because he never lost sight of where He was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with Yahuah —He could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now He’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside Yahuah. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility He plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

Hebrews 12:1 (MSG)

When Martha heard that Yahusha was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.

John 11:40 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Rooted and Grounded

You have now seen the springing up of new shoots – the time of birthing. These new shoots must withstand the storms if they are to reach maturity. You will be like an oak tree – when the storms blow, the soil, which has become compacted, is loosened and the roots become free and so can drive deeper into the loose soil.

What are the new shoots? They are righteousness (sedekar, which is right relationships) and praise.

Don’t fear the storms that you find yourself in. Trust that I am working in them, and will move quickly. You will experience great change and uncertainty, but you will be anchored if you are rooted and grounded in Me. You will find that you will spring up to full maturity.

Ground yourself in My Word, both My Logos (written Word as presented in the Bible) and My Rhema Word (revealed by Holy Spirit).

Let truth take root and uproot all that is not of Me.
You must become a radical worshipper, abandoning yourself in My presence, and laying down your life; You must become worship to Me.

Activation: Stand up and begin to worship the Lord with your voice. As you do, push your feet downwards into the floor and feel Yahuah anchoring you. Now from that place ask Yahuah if there is a specific truth He wants to ground you in. Ask Him why this truth is important – is there some thought pattern or misunderstanding of who He is that He wants this truth to wash clean?

Let the [spoken] word of Christ have its home within you [dwelling in your heart and mind—permeating every aspect of your being] as you teach [spiritual things] and admonish and train one another with all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to Yahuah.

Colossians 3:16 (AMP)

25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her

26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of Yahuah’s Word.[a]

27 He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.

Ephesians 5:25-27 (NLT)
Footnotes
[a] 5:26 Greek washed by water with the Word.

21-23 “Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem. You worship guessing in the dark; we Jews worship in the clear light of day. Yahuah’s way of salvation is made available through the Jews. But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter.

23-24 “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.”

John 4:23-24 (MSG)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – You Are Powerful

My child, My child, how powerful you are!
You are capable of bringing abundant life into your day simply by using your words as mighty weapons.

Look around your life – where are the areas that you wish to see more blessing, healing, reconciliation, and provision? You can change what you see!

Be careful of the words that you are speaking about yourself, your situations, and other people. I can only lay My power on words of blessing and life.

When you speak words of blessing I can back you all the way.
Your words change atmospheres and situations.
Your words breathe My life and they can ignite a spark of hope, joy, and anticipation for what is to come. My words through you are words of truth and wisdom that bring healing to your body and strength to your bones.

I have so much in store for you – goodness, abundance, growth and reward.

Watch what happens as you cause your words to come into alignment with My plans and My heart for you and your family.
Focus on speaking blessing! Share life and taste and see for yourself just how good I am!

Activation: Take time to ask Holy Spirit what are the words that you need to speak to bring the change you want to see in your life. Are there words that you may need to stop speaking over yourself and your situations? Ask Yahuah to forgive you for any words of criticism, judgement, or slander that you may have been speaking and ask Holy Spirit to help you speak words of life and blessing instead.

From the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.

James 3:10 (NASB)

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.

Proverbs 18:21 (AMP)

7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear Yahuah turn away from evil.

8 Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.

Proverbs 3:7-8 (NLT)
