Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Connected Hearts

Do you hunger for greater things?
Do you desire to see My Kingdom more in your life?
When you seek My face daily, you will find it. That is a promise I have given to you! In your times of prayer, I am there with you. I am with you during your worship and when you choose to read my word. I want to encourage you to slow down and really look for Me outside of your normal routine.

Often you think you will find Me in the act of doing “things”, but I choose to dwell and be seen in the hearts of My people.
You will see Me in the hearts of servants laying down their lives for someone else. A gentle hug, laughter, or time spent looking into the face of someone hurting. Being an ear for someone that has no one around.

Yes, it can look like “actions” but when you seek to see Me face to face it will come from a heart fixed on Me. A true relationship with Me and out of our time together we will then partner in action.
Where is your heart? What is your motive? Are you looking to gain My attention in the “act of doing”?

You already have My attention; you already have My heart. Allow me to soften your heart and meld it with Mine.

Activation: It is time for repentance, mind renewal, and obedience. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and motives. Ask Him if you have been “working” for His attention. Let’s repent:
“Holy Spirit, thank-you for showing me where I have been wrong in my thinking. I repent for my actions. I ask for my mind to be renewed (changed) and set free in the name of Yahusha. Yahuah thank you for softening my heart and aligning it with yours and I offer myself in obedience to your will. Amen.”

Yahuah spoke to Moses’ face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.

Exodus 33:11 (NLV)

12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NKJV)

23 Search me, O Yahuah, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;

24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalms 139:23-24 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Heart Rhythms

Is your heartbeat in time with Mine?

Are the patterns and rhythms of your inner life in sync with Me and My purposes? Or are they too focused on outward things?
Is there fear and anxiety in your life which is causing your heart rate to increase and your focus to shift? Do you feel like you are living on the edge, all of the time?

I have not called you to live as the world does, in a state of overstimulation and fear, to be reactive to your circumstances.
I am calling you to rest with Me, living permanently in an expression of My peace. For the peace that I offer will calm your heart, reset the patterns and rhythms of your inner life and realign you with My purposes.

Activation: Take a minute now to stop, close your eyes, take some deep breaths. Press your fingers to your pulse and become aware of your heartbeat slowing gently as you realign your heart with Mine. Ask Me now to reveal to you the patterns and rhythms in your life that need re-aligning to Mine.

“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)

I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

John 14:27 (NLT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – I Am After Your Heart

My Beloved, I am after your heart.
I want more than your mental agreement to the truths of My Word.
You mean more to me than that!

I desire a deep relationship with you in purity of faith and love. I want truth in your inmost parts. So much so that I will allow circumstances into your life which will highlight what is hidden within your heart. This is not to harm or humiliate you – my intentions for you are always good. It is so you can become aware of the ways in which you do not trust or believe Me, for these are the things which keep you distant from Me.

As challenges arise for you which cause you to question my goodness, do not squash those things down and pretend to believe. Do not harden your heart and turn away from Me.

Allow Me to highlight these areas so you can come honestly before Me and receive My healing and My truth. I want you to experience Me afresh in areas of pain so you may know Me more purely and more deeply.

Activation: Make a choice that when there are circumstances and events you do not understand, you will not harden your heart.
Ask Holy Spirit to highlight areas of unbelief (don’t go soul-searching – allow Him to show you!) As He does, take each situation to Him and hand over your hurt and disappointment. Be real. But do not stay there! Ask Him to reveal Himself afresh to you and heal your heart.

Then pray Psalm 139:23-34 (TPT) over yourself:
“Yahuah, I invite Your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to Your glorious, everlasting ways— the path that brings me back to You.”

Teach me Your way, Yahuah that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your Name.

Psalm 86:11 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Mountains Will Move

If you would only see what possibilities lie before you, you would run into your future unabandoned and unafraid.
I need you to hold onto faith and hope.

Suffering produces perseverance and perseverance produces maturity. I want you to remember all the times I have held you. You must believe, deep within yourself, that I will never leave you or forsake you.

You have been through storms but you must walk on the water. Come take my hand, and choose to keep your eyes off the wind and the waves. Look up at your King who wears the victor’s crown.

Prayer: Yahusha, I believe! When the storms roll in, help me to look up to my Saviour and King, the lifter of my head. Show me the way through the storms. Help me grow in faith and know that as I turn towards you, my faith can move mountains.

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

Hebrews 11:1 (NLT)

O Israel hope in Yahuah, for with Yahuah there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.

Psalm 130:7 (NLT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Soaking

My people! I am pouring out My Spirit upon you! I am not holding anything back. The earth is awakening to the truth of who I am.
As it stands, many of My people come to Me with receptacles to hold My Spirit – to contain it in a way that pleases and entertains them – but they are only holding a glimpse. They are missing out on so much.

I am raising up a people who are ready to soak in My Spirit. People who are not trying to hold Me or contain Me, but are giving up all that they have to dance in the freedom and abandon of My outpouring.

These are the ones who will know My heart and experience My glory. They will know truth and joy deep within their bones.
So throw down your receptacles, close your umbrellas, and prepare your hearts to soak in the freedom of the outpouring of My Spirit.

Activation: Stand up where you are, physically open your hands, and spread your arms wide. Say aloud, “Yahuah I am sorry for the times that I have tried to tame and contain you. I am ready now to soak in your Spirit! Please pour out afresh upon me today.”

17 Now Yahusha is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of Yahusha is, there is freedom.

18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] Yahusha’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from Yahusha, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NIV)
Footnotes
[a] 2 Corinthians 3:18 Or reflect

“‘In the last days, Yahuah says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Acts 2:17 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Follow My Fire

In the waiting, can you see Me? Can you see My fire guiding you?
The wait is real, but so am I. Your wait is not wasted because as you wait upon Me, so you wait with Me. For I am with you, always.
Just as the Israelites were guided by Me in the wilderness, turn your eyes to me and follow My fire through the dark. Day or night, My light can always be seen and will always reach you.

My child, follow My way, the path I have planned for you. For you are never alone. It is in the wild wait that I am most visible.
Cry out to Me, cling to My presence, and stir your hunger for Me. For I am YHWH, the alpha and the omega, the one true God, and I will always be with you.
As you wait, do so with expectant hope. Trust in Me and follow My fire.

Activation: Ask YHWH to show you how He is showing up in your life today. Pray to be increasingly sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for YHWH your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)

By day YHWH went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so they could travel by day or night.

Exodus 13:21 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Prepare to be Surprised

Why do you keep coming to Me with the same expectations?
Do you not realise that My mercies are new every day?
I am forever the same, but I am also the God of the new.  

Different seasons require different approaches.
Prepare to be surprised by My words and My actions. You will find that I am not changing – you are! As I continually shape you into My likeness, I can be trusted to lead you in the way that you need. There is no need to second guess and assume you understand what I am doing. You do not. I am Yahuah and you are not. Listen to and obey My words.  

In this new season you do not need to make sense of your own story, you need to be consumed by My story. I am not just invading your life; you are being consumed by your life source.  

I am overwhelmingly and intently concerned with you. With your thoughts, emotions and actions. Do Me the honour of similarly being overwhelmed and intently concerned with My thoughts, emotions, and actions. Be occupied by My life as I am occupied by yours.  

Activation: Pray that Yahuah will shake you out of old habits. Take time to listen to Yahuah. What is He saying to you? What is on His heart? What thoughts does he want to share with you? Ask Him what He is excited about for you today.

22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Mobilisation Mode

Have you felt the pressing of the enemy in your life recently?
Have you sensed the offensive that satan is on to try to undermine, devalue, and oppress My people?

Can you feel the shift in the spiritual atmosphere as the enemy throws all that he has to distract and disarm My people?
The enemy knows your potential, even before you do, and he is seeking to destroy that potential before you can reach the fullness of it.

Now is not the time to fear!
The enemy cannot stop the movement of My Spirit upon the Earth. He can feel the depth of the potential that I have planted in My people, which is now preparing to be birthed, and he is running scared!

For I am the God of the angel armies and I am in mobilisation mode.
I am strategically placing My angels and My people, those that are fully sold out for Me, to be ready to stand.

15 When the servant of the man of Yahuah got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.

16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

2 Kings 6:15-17 (NIV)

Take some time now, close your eyes, and put your hands over them. Ask Yahuah to show you the footholds in your own life that the enemy is trying to grab hold of. Repent of the times that you have knowingly or unknowingly agreed with the lies that the enemy has spoken to you and break agreement with the lies that have attempted to steal your potential. Then, ask Yahusha to open your spiritual eyes, just like Elisha’s servant, so that you can see the plans and strategies that He has placed within you – that He is preparing to birth in you. Make this decree: “My spiritual eyes have been opened, and I receive the full measure of Yahuah’s anointing in my life.”

Yahuah would remind you today:
My mobilisation plans are for you to stand against the plans of the enemy in warfare, and not just to stand – to advance. I am releasing a new grace for those that will share my gospel and advance My Kingdom. They will be bold truth-tellers who will lay down their own pride and plans to partner with My Spirit in new and exciting ways. They will experience the joy of salvation daily and will inspire and encourage others in my ways.

Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!

Romans 8:37 (TPT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Sacrifice

Am I still your first love?
Am I the fulfilment of all your desires? Or is there something you desire more? This month I’m pointing out the areas where you have desires that are bigger than your desire of Me. I will show you big unhealthy desires, but also where you might start to develop them. Know that those desires are always unfulfilling. They will never give you life because I am the Life. When you notice a desire, check with Me if it stands in the way of your desire for Me.

I want our relationship to grow, to not become stale or stagnant. I always desire to know you more and more. Do you have that same desire? Knowing Me is the ultimate goal. I am the infinite God, and therefore, there is always more of Me for you to get to know.

Check your heart and see if there are any unhealthy desires that replace your desire of Me. Beware, of those desires because I will, eventually, ask you to sacrifice those for Me. If you let the desires grow too big, the sacrifice will be painful.

Activation: Ask the Lord if He wants to show you something of who He is that you don’t know about Him yet. Where do you have unhealthy desires? Let the Lord show you what they are and ask Him to fill the void. Give Him permission to take that space.

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

James 1:15 (NIV)

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Yahusha the Christ, whom you have sent.

John 17:3 (NIV)

FAITH over FEAR

Hebrews 11:1-3 (AMP) The Triumphs of Faith

1 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 

2 For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval.

3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

1 Samuel 12:23-24 (AMP)

23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way. 

24 Only fear the Lord [with awe and profound reverence] and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. 

Romans 11:20 (AMP)

That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by your faith [as believers understanding the truth of Christ’s deity]. Do not be conceited, but [rather stand in great awe of God and] fear [Him];

1 Timothy 6:11 (AMP)

But as for you, O man of God, flee from these things; aim at and pursue righteousness [true goodness, moral conformity to the character of God], godliness [the fear of God], faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness.

Hebrews 10:38 (AMP)

But My righteous one [the one justified by faith] shall live by faith[respecting man’s relationship to God and trusting Him]; And if he draws back [shrinking in fear], My soul has no delight in him.
