Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Least of These

I want you to care for one another.
The lost.
The broken.
The weary.
How you treat the least of those among you matters to Me.
I would see you care for the “less than” among you, not out of guilt or striving but from the overflow of My love for you. That, from the well of compassion springing up within you, you would bring the lost in from the cold. Will you champion those whom the world has cast aside, seeking kingdom strategies for transformation and alignment?
Share the light that I have placed within you; be the salt I have created you to be.

Would you rise up in this season and be a vessel of love for the broken hearted? A vessel of hope for the lost and forgotten?

Activation: Read Matthew 25:40-45. Read it a second time, asking Holy Spirit to lead you through it. Ask Holy Spirit to highlight how these verses apply to you in your life right now and how you are meant to live out these verses.

40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.’

41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Leave Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (demons); 

42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 

43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me [with help and ministering care].’ 

44 Then they also [in their turn] will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or as a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 

45 Then He will reply to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did not do it for one of the least of these [my followers], you did not do it for Me.’

Matthew 25:40-45 (AMP)

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV)

We love because He first loved us.

1 John 4:19 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – First Love

What is your first love? What is the thing that you spend most of your time, thoughts and resources on? Is it truly Yahuah?

The Father is calling you to take the idols of this world off your walls and destroy them. The things that take your eyes away from Him, the worldly things that consume your heart and mind. Throw them off so that you can once more take your place in His great army.

This is a year to rise; a year to realise your potential. Don’t let the things that distract, prevent you from stepping into the fullness of your call. Like mice that nibble at the harvest, so do the everyday distractions steal from the Kingdom of Yahuah. Cut off that which would destroy and place Yahuah back as your first love.

Action: Ask Yahuah to shine a light on the things that are keeping you from placing Him as your first love.

Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: “This is what Yahuah says: ‘I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness, through a land not sown.’”

Jeremiah 2:2 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A Holy Place

You exist where heaven meets earth. You are the home of the Holy Spirit. You are a Holy Place!

Yahuah is calling your self perspective into right alignment with how He sees you. For out of all the places that Yahuah could live, He chose you. Marvel at this! Yahuah’s breath is in your lungs, Yahuah’s Spirit is in your heart, Yahuah’s seal is upon you. Every part of your body bears the fingerprints of the Lord Almighty. How beautiful is the work of His hands.

It is time to stop slandering the temple where the Holy Spirit of Yahuah dwells. It’s time to stop speaking negativity over yourself. Take time today to thank Yahuah for your body, where He so richly lives. Marvel at how Yahuah thinks you are so wonderful; He has made you his home. Delight in being a carrier of Yahuah himself. Bless your body as a holy place for the Spirit of God and call yourself beautiful. For child of Yahuah, you are indeed a beautiful holy place.

Activation: Speak life over yourself today! Ask Holy Spirit to lead you through declarations of life and love, speaking them aloud over yourself.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)

Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvellous love that He has lavished upon us! He has called us and made us His very own beloved children.

1 John 3:11 (TPT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Rockin’ and Rollin’

Do not be surprised when things get rocky. When the boat rocks and the waves are rolling, I am calling to the deep.

To the deep in you, I say, what rocks you is what holds you, and what holds you is what controls you.

Have I promised you victory? Yes!
Have I promised you blessing? Yes!
Have I promised you justice? Also, Yes!
But have I not also said you would have trials, pain, and betrayal? Another Yes!

You don’t believe me? Let me quote myself:

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

John 16:33 (AMP)

I came to testify of how good the Father is. Even when My disciples all left Me that night in the garden, the Father did not.
As the Father did not leave Me, we will not leave you. We are committed to fulfilling our purpose in you, so when we lead into spaces you do not know don’t fight us. The Father and Spirit are present here with Me, the Son, accounted for and filling every area of uncertainty with omnipresent determination for the Word to be fulfilled in you. Where your understanding stops and falls short is not a representation of My sight. You see in part, but I see in full, so trust Me.

So what holds you? I know now is when you would usually do an activation. They are good springboards, but I want ongoing participation, an ongoing activation of testing the things that hold you.

Sometimes it’s Me that’s rocking things and other times it’s not. Stay under My eye, speak peace to the things that would control you, and come under My guidance.

And now, O Yahuah, You are God, and Your words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant.

2 Samuel 7:28 (AMP)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.

Psalm 32:8 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Brighter Days

Many of you have been marked through these past days by my process of refinement, and I assure you that brighter days are ahead. While My hand has been upon you in this process, I am not ignorant to where the enemy has attempted to come in like a flood, stealing your fruit and your joy through the process. He has not bested you!

While there will be turmoil and darkness in the days ahead, rest easy, for you have been moulded for such a time as this. For those who surrendered to my purposes, casting their agendas aside and preferring the one I placed before them, you will find that you are ready to be commissioned.

In this place of being prepared, you will find that you can look at the days ahead of you not with fear and trembling but with joy and delight. For when you come prepared, you arrive with an expectation of victory. There are brighter days ahead because you have been through the fire and you are now postured in expectation.

Prayer:
Father, the journey You have me on is not always clear, but I know that in the waiting I find more of You. Thank You for loving me so well that You would ensure my preparedness for this new season. I repent for where I have knowingly and unknowingly fought your process. Today, I freshly surrender my agenda to You, choosing to instead prefer Your agenda. Thank You that there are brighter days ahead of me!

5 If you will seek Yahuah and plead with the Almighty for mercy,

6 if you are pure and upright, surely then He will rouse Himself for you and restore your rightful habitation.

7 And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.

Job 8:5-7 (ESV)

13-18 If with heart and soul you’re doing good, do you think you can be stopped? Even if you suffer for it, you’re still better off. Don’t give the opposition a second thought. Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. Keep a clear conscience before Yahuah so that when people throw mud at you, none of it will stick. They’ll end up realizing that they’re the ones who need a bath. It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that’s what Yahuah wants, than to be punished for doing bad. That’s what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others’ sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all—was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to Yahuah.

1 Peter 3:13-18 (MSG)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Speak Up

Speak My truth gently and kindly to whom I send you.
The enemy has muzzled you to keep you quiet when I asked you to stand up and speak. I handpicked you and set you free from the fear of men so that you could speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

I am sending you to those who are bound by the fear of being hurt. They have accepted this fear as their portion. You are My conduit to carry My words. Do not listen to any other voices that cause you to shrink, withdraw, and remind you of your past agony.

Listen only to your King’s voice.

My Voice is powerful; My voice is majestic and My voice thunders. When I send you, go; when I command you, speak.

I chose Moses and sent him back to Pharoah to speak for those who were bound by fear. This is the God you serve. Ask for My direction, My time, My wisdom and when you open up, I will put My words in your mouth. My words, in your mouth, will set others free from ungodly captivity.

There is a time to keep quiet; there is a time to speak. This is the time to speak and release My words.

Activation: Spend time talking to the Lord about how he would have you speak to those around you. Does He have a word He’d like you to share with someone? Repent for where you have been reluctant to speak and ask for a fresh anointing on your mouth and words. Then, seek His strategies for how to speak out in this season.

9 And Yahuah said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 

10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are My people.” 

11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of Yahuah among them.

Acts 18:9-11 (ESV)

Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.

Proverbs 31:3 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Rest Close to Me

How do you use your rest and relaxation time? Is it by filling your mind with other things? I am in you by My Spirit. Right next to you. But you have allowed your life to be led from your intellect, your thoughts, and your emotions. I will teach you rest and from rest will come My work; from rest will come pleasing worship.

From rest will come peace and all the other fruit of the Spirit. In you, through Me. You say there are so many things to do in this world, so many responsibilities, so many pressures. I see them. Yet I still want you to learn to function from my rest. Ask Me about it.

Ask Me how My rest works where you are and in the spiritual realm. A wonderful truth exists, and that is that you are seated with Me in heavenly realms, and I live in you. What beautiful, joyous possibilities My rest leads to. As you read this, do not try to intellectualise a response. Ask Me to show you My rest.

Reflection: Draw close to Yahuah (God), allowing your intellect, thoughts, and emotions to be subservient to Him, recognising that He lives in you. Ask Him what He wants to say to you.

“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)

The eternal Yahuah/God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

Deuteronomy 33:27(a) (ESV)

Call to Me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Jeremiah 33:3 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Commissioned

You live in my Kingdom but I have given you dominion. I have prepared a place of favour, authority, and government for you. I am the same God who encouraged Joshua after Moses died and I encourage and remind you that every place your foot treads, those are the territories I have given you.

Be strong and courageous; willing and obedient. Observe and do all I have commanded you and you will eat the good of the land I have given you.

No man can stand against you all the days of your life because I go with you. As we go, there will be no fear or timidity in you. We will be in step with one another as we rule and walk together.

Activation: Surrender and allow me to solidify your identity in me. Put off the old man and put on the new man. Watch how, even in the face of your accuser, I will remove your filthy garments and give you a fresh robe and turban.

23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to YAHUAH, in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4:23-24 (NKJV)

YAHUAH/God’s Commission to Joshua

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that YAHUAH spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying:

2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel.

3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall [a]divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may [b]prosper wherever you go.

Joshua 1:1-7 (NKJV)
Footnotes
{a} Joshua 1:6 give as a possession
{b} Joshua 1:7 have success or act wisely

3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.

4 Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.”

5 And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.”

So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the Lord stood by.

Zechariah 3:3-5 (NKJV)
