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)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Levitical Priests

I am calling forth My Levitical Priests who live for Me in purity and chastity. I have seen your faithfulness towards Me and the desire to please Me in everything you do. I have seen you worshipping in the war room of your heart. I have seen your sacrifice in living for Me. I have seen how your worship has become your lifestyle.

I set you apart to carry My covenant for the ark. You have been through a refining process to bring the gold out of you, breaking your idols and reinstating simplicity. I have allowed situations and people to irritate you so you would run to Me for help. Because you love Me, you wanted to do what is right in My eyes. Through this irritant, I have formed you into a beautiful white pearl who carries My heart of purity and chastity to others.

I am releasing an anointing over you to empower true prophetic worship, an anointing that ignites you to worship Me.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. . .

1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)

When you see the Covenant-Chest of God, your God, carried by the Levitical priests, start moving. Follow it.

Joshua 3:3 (MSG)

Activation: Study Ezekiel 44:15-27 and ask Holy Spirit for fresh revelation on this passage. You can see from this passage that Yahuah (God’s) order is always living in high places for this specific calling.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – I Am Your Rock

I am your rock! Do not worry about what is about to come this year. Stay firm and closely connected to Me, My child. I am unshakable, I am stable, I am strong. No matter what happens around you, do not look to the left or the right, but fix your eyes on me and stand on My word. There will be uncertainties and there will be storms but as long as you are grounded in Me and in My word, you will be secure.
Get into My word for it will be your firm foundation.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit if there is anything He wants you to prioritise more in 2023, like reading scripture, worshipping, intercession… make it your daily routine and remind yourself to stand firm on the rock which is the Lord Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach.

For the director of music. Of David the servant of Yahuah. He sang to Yahuah the words of this song when Yahuah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

1 I love you, Yahuah, my strength.

2 Yahuah is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; Yahuah is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.

4 “I called to Yahuah, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.

5 The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

6 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.

7 “In my distress I called to Yahuah; I called out to my God. From His temple He heard my voice; my cry came to His ears.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Strategy Plans

For thus says Yahuah, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength’. But you were unwilling . . .

Isaiah 30:15 (ESV)

How many years have you run your life in accordance with your own plans? Do you realise that I can guide you minute by minute, hour by hour as to what you might do with your time and energies? Having strategy is not just for businesses and large organisations; it is for My ecclesia, from the smallest number to all people. For I have plans for you, yes, but I also have plans to bring My Kingdom to earth. I need you to be willing to sit and wait and hear strategies, both with Me daily on your own but also with other like-minded people.
Bring Me your rest.
Bring Me your time.
Bring Me your commitments, for I love you and I want the best for you. Do not fear a different way of living your life this year. Look for My ways again.

Prayer: Yahuah, show me the big picture of what You are doing presently that I do not see, and give me the disciplined heart to look and look again until I understand what You are saying and what You are showing me. Where I resist being Your disciple, I choose to grow up that I might be stronger for Your Kingdom. Amen.

He (David) gave him (Solomon) the plans of all that the Spirit had put into his mind for the courts of the temple of Yahuah and all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the temple of Yahuah, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things.

1 Chronicles 28:12 (NIV)

The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The In-Between

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? Stand. Stand, rest, and wait for Me to show you the next step. In the liminal space, or the place that is in between where you were and the place where I am sending you, there is an incredible amount of blessing and growth happening within you.

On the eve of taking dominion in Jericho, I came in full armour and regalia as the Commander of the Army of Yahuah. My answer to Joshua’s question was I am not for him and I am not for his adversaries. As I prepare you to take dominion, allow the same message to permeate through you and your current earthly circumstances: My ways are higher.

Activation: Be still and let me complete the work I have started in you. Stand, wait, and rest in knowing there is relational growth and power in the liminal place. As I bring the understanding of your next steps, remove the shoes from off your feet and reverence me.

1 The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from Yahuah.

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But Yahuah weighs the spirits.

Proverbs 16:1-2 (NKJV)

Therefore take up the whole armour of Yahuah, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV)

The Commander of the Army of the LORD

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Joshua 5:13-15 (NKJV)
