Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Cross Over

The Israelites would have never experienced the wonders of the promised land unless they had consecrated themselves and made ready to cross over the Jordan to take possession of the land.

Is not My church stuck in a similar place? On the wrong side of the River Jordan, failing to enter and receive their inheritance?

Too many generations have died in the wilderness when they have stood on the cusp of entering into their promised inheritance without grasping it.

But now is the time to make yourselves ready; to hear the command to consecrate yourselves; to deal with the baggage that has gotten you stuck and unfulfilled. Now is the time to look up and see your inheritance; see that the path across the Jordan has opened up. By faith, step into your promised land and possess it for you and the following generations.

Activation: Ask the Lord where you have allowed yourself to become bogged down in the wilderness and to show you where your inheritance is ready to be claimed.

Future Glory for Jerusalem

1 “Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem, you who have never been in labor. For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,” says the Lord.

2 “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!

3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.

Isaiah 54:1-3 (NLT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Take Responsibility

Yesterday, you were challenged to “clear out” your thinking. Today, I challenge you to clear out the atmosphere around you.

While you cannot control everything in this world, you can shift the atmosphere around you. Take responsibility for the atmosphere around you. There is always a battle happening in the atmosphere as the darkness would try to blot out the light.

You get to shift your atmosphere with your words, your worship, and your attitude. Your choices influence your surroundings so I encourage you today to choose wisely. Don’t settle for the darkness for you carry the light!

Activation: Read Psalm 91 aloud paying attention to how the atmosphere around you shifts. Take some time to journal about what you experience doing this and how you can apply this principle to your daily life.

10 As the rain and the snow came down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Clean Out The Clutter

Over this month, My focus is on the clutter in your daily thinking. Are you aware of the little things that are not aligned with My Word? Do you realise that you’re not taking every thought captive? You are aware of bigger issues where you have a wrong mindset, but you are forgetting the little seeds the enemy is planting. You shrug them off thinking that it’s not as bad as the bigger issues like anxiety, pride or rebellion. You think you can get away with it. But I know your heart and I see that you’re not dealing with the clutter in your thinking.

Having negative thoughts about someone is still partnering with the enemy. Doubting your identity is still letting the enemy come in to steal. Worrying about money is still the seed for partnering with the spirit of poverty.
You must clean out the clutter!
I want you to do a thorough clean out of your thinking. Ask Me where the enemy already has a foothold in your thinking. Sit down with Me and ask Me to show you your blind spots.
I am good and I will take care of you in the process. I will show you what to do and how to deal with it.
Don’t focus on what the enemy is doing; invite Me in and let Me show you where you need to change your thinking so that the enemy can’t create a stronghold.
After you’ve cleared out the clutter, you will feel lighter and you will have more room to breathe. I will come to fill the places you have cleaned with My love, truth and goodness. I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full.

Activation: Ask Yahuah where you need to clean up clutter and what the clutter is.
Write down what you need to repent of and repent for wrong thinking and/or wrong mindsets. Take time to let Holy Spirit fill up the spaces you have cleaned out.

7 Therefore Yahusha said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

8 All who have come before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.

9 I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:7-10 (NIV)

Footnotes
[a] John 10:9 Or kept safe

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of Yahuah, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Blooming

Can you sense the blooming coming? The first signs of spring are already breaking through! My child, in this past season I have been pruning your life – cutting away the things that obstruct your walk with Me – in relationships, work, and the deepest places of your heart. Now I say: look up and forwards because change is in the air and it is time for new growth!

But to go forwards at pace, you need to stop looking back at the painful pruning.

Many of the things, which cut and seemed to hold you back, you blamed on the enemy. They were, however, the work of My love in your life so you could bear more fruit.

I love the garden of your heart, but as a skilful gardener, I needed to prepare it thoroughly for the planting to come.

The fullness of My glory can only grow in soil that is pure and fertilised with My heart!

Now is the time to lay down your misplaced resentment and offer me your hand declaring, “Take me into new growth where I will bloom!”

ACTIVATION: Take time with Yahuah to ask forgiveness for any resentment of the pruning process and thank Him for it. As a prophetic act, give Him your hand telling Him you choose to look forwards to new growth. Allow the Spirit to show you where new growth may already be happening and where you may expect to see more. Are there things you could begin to do to co-labour with Yahuah?

Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches

1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He [a]prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

John 15:1-2 (NASB)

Zion’s Happy Future

1 The wilderness and the desert will rejoice, and the [a]desert will shout for joy and blossom; like the crocus

2 It will blossom profusely and rejoice with joy and jubilation. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of Yahuah.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Power in Listening

It is not uncommon to make presumptions, thinking that we know what Yahuah wants to do or say, yet we have not actually asked Him. This normally comes from a willingness to bless and encourage, but the reality is we can do this without listening to He who loves us best. This means that when correction is needed, it is overlooked.

We have feared men more than we have feared Yahuah, and instead of taking time to consider what Yahuah is saying, we assume that we know what He would say or do in any given circumstance.

But now is the time in which the Lord God Almighty is calling His people to listen and not presume; to fear Him and not men, speaking the words that He is saying and being silent when He does not speak. It is a time to do what He is leading us to do and not to assume that we know His perfect will without asking first.

Prayer: Yahuah, forgive me for my presumption in assuming that I know what You are going to say or intend to do without taking time to actually listen to You. Forgive me for putting words in Your mouth and misrepresenting what you want to say and do things that You are not doing. Please take my heart, correct my attitude, and remove any presumption on my part. Help me to always seek You and Your will before I act or speak. Amen.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of Yahuah.

Romans 12:2 (NIV)

14 This is the confidence we have in approaching Yahuah: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.

1 John 5:14-15 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Movement

I want to move, I want to move, move, move, move!

This is what I’m hearing all over the world right now.
Some of you feel stuck in your current situations, and you look around and are scared by what your eyes see.

I want you to move, but if you are not moving then why aren’t you asking for My help? There is a lie that is whispering in your ear, “It’s just too hard, so why try?”
I’m looking at you right now and I tell you the truth. With God it’s not too hard. Though you may laugh it is possible with Me.

Yahusha looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with Yahuah everything is possible.”

Matthew 13:26 (NLT)

Is anything too hard for Yahuah? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.

Genesis 18:14 (NLT)

I say to you right now that if you are not moving from where you are, there is a reason. Some have given up, feeling defeated, while others have assignments where they are right now and so something must shift before they can move. It is not too late to pick yourself up and get a move on.

Have you asked Me what needs to shift in or around you before you can take a step? Let’s take a look together right now.

What’s in your home? Sadness, despair, heaviness, strife? Tell it to go in My name and I’ll back you. Command the space to be filled with My kingdom’s opposing value.
What’s in your heart? Grudges, bitterness, envy, false hope? Break agreement in My name and I’ll see you through and see you made whole. Ask Me to fill you with My character and healing will come.

Good News for the Opressed

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 free.[a]

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

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Push Forward

I want to give you a push forward in using your spiritual gifts.
You have been feeling stuck at the same level in your gifts for a while and you have a desire to move forward. The enemy is trying to hold you back and wanting you to believe that you are not made to do greater things than I did. I see your desire and your heart to be used by Me in greater measure. I want to push you out of this place so that you can fly faster and higher in the spirit.

Know that when I give you a push you will feel sudden speed, a speed that you are not used to, and it will feel scary and uncomfortable. You will feel a bit out of control and unstable. This is good, stay in that place. Don’t retreat saying that you are not up for it, or that you can’t do it. The enemy wants you to give up, and he wants you to lose your boldness and courage. I want you to keep going. Let me teach you in the uncomfortable, unstable place. There, you will listen better and lean into Me more.

I can only give you a push if you decide to step out and use your gifts in ways that you know are a challenge for you. If you are comfortable with prophesying over friends and family, then start prophesying over strangers. If you are comfortable with praying against a fever, then start praying for someone who has a broken arm. Do not be afraid for I am with you, always.

Go and use your gifts!

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit what a challenge is for you when using your gifts. Spend time with the Lord and ask Him why this is a challenge for you. Ask Him if there are lies holding you back from stepping out. Agree with Yahuah in what window of time you will be stepping out.

Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

John 14:12 (NIV)

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of Yahuah, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

2 Timothy 1:6 (NIV)

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for Yahuah will be with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Communion

I long for you to come and commune with Me. Come sit with Me for a while, pulling away from the world’s demands, from the wants and needs of the flesh. Come sit with Me for a while, and be reminded that you are one with Me. I am in you and you are in Me. Spirit to spirit.

Come take the new wine and eat the fresh bread; be refreshed and healed as you receive from Me. Linger a while longer so I can refresh your soul, for I am calling you to come to the table I have prepared for you. This table has everything you need for the season ahead.

Will you come and commune with Me, for I have pulled up a chair just for you. Will you come?

I want to open and awaken your spirit to a new revelation of Me. So I ask again, will you come and commune with Me?

17 Then he raised a cup and gave thanks to God and said to them, “Take this and pass it on to one another and drink. 

18 I promise you that the next time we drink this wine, we will be together in the feast of God’s kingdom realm.”

19 Then he lifted up a loaf, and after praying a prayer of thanksgiving to God, he gave each of his apostles a piece of bread, saying, “This loaf is my body, which is now being offered to you. Always eat it to remember me.”

Luke 22:17-19 (TPT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Blood is Victory

We walk in victory. In the miasma of despair in this world, it’s easy to forget this. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with the minutiae of everyday battles, bleeding from a thousand paper cuts from a thousand different trials.

But in the upside down Kingdom, blood is victory. Yahusha bled on our behalf so that we may be victorious in reconciliation, returning to the Father.

Don’t let the standards of this world rob you of your understanding of victory. For NOTHING, not death nor life, not angel nor demon, can separate you from the love of Yahuah.

Let the truth of this word wash you – Yahusha has made a way for you to spend eternity with Yahuah. And it is in Him that we find our hope, our home, our love. And in that, we stand in victory.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

Ephesians 1:7 (NIV)

And by the blood of His cross, everything in heaven and earth is brought back to Himself – back to its original intent, restored to innocence again!

Galatians 1:20 (TPT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Laugh Aloud

My darling children! Do you realise that I am a Father who loves to laugh and have fun? That it brings my heart incredible joy to see My beloved ones being merry with laughter and enjoyment.

I too love to laugh! Even better, I love to laugh with you. I am not a distant God, but a close Father who loves to spend time with His children. Being joyful is a part of who I am, and it is your portion also. When was the last time you had a good laugh? When you laughed so hard, you cried and your sides ached.

Don’t be afraid to laugh, to find joy in the mundane, or to tell a joke and sing a silly song. Remember, dear ones: I created you to live life in abundance and laughter and joy are your portion.

Activation: Take a moment to consider the last time you laughed aloud. The last time you felt merry and carefree. Ask Yahusha to show you where He was with you in those moments. Spend some time talking to Yahusha about what it means to be merry and joyful.

The one enthroned in heaven laughs . . .

Psalm 2:4 (NIV)

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

Isaiah 55:12 (NIV)
