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]

²He 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.

³To 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)

Footnotes

[a] 61:1 Greek version reads and the blind will see. Compare Luke 4:18.
[b] 61:2 Or to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

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.

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

¹⁹Then 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)

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.

⁴⁰The 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);

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

⁴³I 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].’

⁴⁴Then 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?’

⁴⁵Then 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)
