Friday Morning Prayer (Wk3/2023)

Abba! Father! I present myself to You giving all glory, honour and praise. I thank You for being my God of guidance, protection, strength and breakthroughs. I ask for forgiveness of all sin whether of thought, word or deed; seen or unseen; mental, physical or spiritual; and premeditated.

Today, I ask that I will walk in an overflow of Your glory. I exist daily and do not realise the things and people You have protected me from, but at this moment I acknowledge the ones I can remember, and give You thanks. I thank You for what You’ve done; You are doing; and what You intend to do. My Father, I thank You for being You and no matter what I do, as long as I remain within Your shelter, I will be okay. For nothing I do surprises You. You stand outside the realms of time and have seen me from my beginning to my end. My God, as I ponder on You, You amaze me over and over again. Wash over my soul, like never before. May the meditations of my heart and the words of my mouth be acceptable and provided by You. May we be one as I allow You to take control. Strip me of all that displeases You. Strengthen and make me what I ought to be. Equip me for todays tasks. My Father and my God, once again, I trust in You.

Then Moses said, “Please, show me Your glory!”

Exodus 33:18 (AMP)

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; My cup overflows.

Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found; Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him.

Psalm 32:6 (AMP)

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].

Psalm 91:1 (AMP)

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

Romans 15:13 (AMP)

20 Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament),

21 Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).

Amen (So be it)

And that oil is what you need to feed Yahuah’s enduring fire in you.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Warrior

The way of the warrior is not always easy. The path the warrior walks can be complicated and narrow. Yet, the reward for our obedience is great!
Our glorious Father would remind you today:
Shake off the dust and arise, My precious warriors!
I have fresh assignments for My people, but who is available?
This is the time to rise up, to embrace the mantle I have placed upon your shoulders, and to run with precision towards the target I have set before you.
You were made for such a time as this, so embrace the posture of a warrior and allow me to raise you up, positioning you strategically.

Activation: Declare over yourself today: I am a warrior!
Say this aloud as many times as necessary until you feel it settle in your spirit.
Next, read through Zechariah 10:5-12. Ask Holy Spirit to speak to you through these verses, revealing what he is doing in and through you right now.

5 They will be like mighty warriors in battle, trampling their enemies in the mud under their feet. Since Yah is with them as they fight, they will overthrow even the enemy’s horsemen.

6 “I will strengthen Judah and save Israel[a]; I will restore them because of My compassion. It will be as though I had never rejected them, for I am Yahuah, who will hear their cries

7 The people of Israel[b] will become like mighty warriors, and their hearts will be made happy as if by wine. Their children, too, will see it and be glad; their hearts will rejoice in Yah.

8 When I whistle to them, they will come running, for I have redeemed them. From the few who are left, they will grow as numerous as they were before.

9 Though I have scattered them like seeds among the nations, they will still remember Me in distant lands. They and their children will survive and return again to Israel.

10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will resettle them in Gilead and Lebanon until there is no more room for them all.

11 They will pass safely through the sea of distress,[c] for the waves of the sea will be held back,
and the waters of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be crushed, and the rule of Egypt will end.

12 By My power[d] I will make My people strong, and by My authority they will go wherever they wish. I, Yah, have spoken!”

Zechariah 10:5-12 (NLT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Unlocked

Have I not given you the keys to the Kingdom to unlock you and your destiny?

Many of you have been locked in fears and past traditions, stopping the advancement of My kingdom. I am unlocking you so you can go and set others free.

Have I not come to set the captives free?

One of the keys is My authority. Receive this key for I have given it to you. Know that you have authority to cast out demons in My name for I have given you this key of freedom for others. The world needs you for the days are dark and many are overcome with fear. Step into your authority and cast out the oppressor! Open the way for others to come into My kingdom and know Me.

Activation: First, ask Yahuah to show you anywhere where you have given up responsibility and partnered with any fear or oppression. Break any agreement with it and ask Yahuah to set you free. Then, visualize yourself receiving the key of authority from Yahusha. Feel its shape, its size and see its colour. Thank Yahuah for the authority He has given you and say out loud: I stand in the authority of Yahusha to set the captives free, heal the broken hearted and the sick in Yahusha’s name!

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 16:19 (ESV)

Yahusha called twelve of his followers and sent them into the ripe fields. He gave them power to kick out the evil spirits and to tenderly care for the bruised and hurt lives.

Matthew 10:1 (MSG)

18 Then Yahusha came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Restore the Foundations

The last few years have been filled with many challenges. There have been many low points and false starts. The Spirit of the Lord would remind you today:

The weight of My yoke is easy!
The heaviness of this past season has settled on many people’s shoulders.
Lies.
Disappointment.
False Responsibility.
As this weight rested on you, your foundations began to crack.
You questioned My goodness and My faithfulness. In some cases, you set aside My plans and purposes for your life, choosing to go your own way – the way of least resistance.
I do not hold this against you!
I understand where you find yourself today.
But I am here today to pull this weight off your shoulders and restore the foundations of your faith.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit if there are any weights you are carrying that you need to let go of. Ask him if there are any cracks that need to be restored.

As Holy Spirit shows you these things, ask him to lead you through a time of deliverance. Repent and break partnership with carrying weight that is not yours to carry. Ask for Holy Spirit to fill those places afresh with more of Him. Declare abundant life over yourself.

“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)

. . . in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

John 16:33 (NKJV)

20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” [21] [a]

Matthew 17:20-21 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Engraved

Close your hands into a fist loosely in front of you.
Next, take a deep breath in and then slowly let it out.

Now, look at your closed fists in front of you and imagine that your own hands are in fact mine – the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Just look at them and then slowly open up your fists so that your palms are facing you. Take a moment and imagine that your own name is engraved in bold type, right there on those palms. How does this make you feel?

Now, what if I told you I have, in fact, engraved your name into the palm of my hands. That I will not forget you. You will not be, nor have you ever been forgotten — you are engraved into the palms of My hands.

15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!

16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.

Isaiah 49:15-16 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Comfort

I Am a warrior, but I Am also your gentle Father. I know when to rule with strength and when to tenderly lead.

Do not mistake my righteous arm as a branch to beat the lambs with. Be gentle and tender with those who follow Me – including yourself. The enemy comes in like a lion, looking for who He can devour, but I Am meek and lowly. My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

Be wise, and know the compassion in My voice towards my flock. Do not mistake the harsh voice of the enemy as My voice.
I speak life.
I speak hope.
I speak conviction, not condemnation.
I speak comfort and joy to My flock, even as I stand as a mighty warrior guarding over them.

Activation: Read the words of this scripture aloud and know the Lord’s compassion for you and those around you. Ask for a discerning heart to know the difference between conviction and condemnation.

The Greatness of Yah

1“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.

2 “Speak [a]kindly to Jerusalem;
And call out to her, that her [b]warfare has ended, that her [c]guilt has been removed, that she has received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.”

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The One

How many times have you talked about how I Am the Good Shepherd who will leave the ninety-nine to go after the one? Oh, how you love Me and thanked Me for coming after you. Yet, some of you have forgotten that you were that one. You have stopped praying for people to come to know Me, and have instead started to beg Me to come back, today. Even complaining, when is soon, Lord?

I wanted to remind you that I am not delayed or late in coming. I am coming back – that is a promise – but I am patiently waiting for the one, just like I waited for you.

As it says in 2 Peter 3:15 (NLT): And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved…

The Lord our God is Holy

The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2 The Lord is great in Zion; He is exalted over all the peoples.

3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name! Holy is He!

4 The King in His might loves justice.[a] You have established equity; You have executed justice
and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God; worship at His footstool! Holy is He!

Psalm 99:1-5 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Remember

Take a moment today to pause and reflect on the life you have lived with our loving heavenly Father.

Ask Holy Spirit to remind you of days gone by where Yahuah moved and shifted things for you; where He handed you the victory; where He restored what you thought was lost.

The Lord says to you today: Remember who it is that you belong to! Am I not the God of restoration? The Father who can be trusted to lead you to green pastures? As you step into this new year, remember who I am!
I have gone before you to make your path straight.
I know the provision you need.
I know the breakthrough you need.
I am a good and faithful Father whose love for you stretches beyond human comprehension. Choose to trust Me today and let your faith arise!

Activation: Spend some time praising the Lord for all He is. As you praise Him, ask for a deeper revelation of His character so that you may transition into this new year seeing Him rightly.

3 . . . then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and He will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.

4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will take you.

5 And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers.

Deuteronomy 30:3-5 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Brilliance

Like a perfectly cut diamond, you shine with My brilliance!

Do you realise that you carry My light? That as I dwell within you, you are filled with My light. This light cascades through you like the sun, brilliant and warm.

Shine that light forth!

Shine that light into the darkness. It is the light of purity, revelation, and truth because it comes from Me, Yahusha HaMashiach. Just like the sun’s rays bring life to the plants and trees, my light brings life and clarity.
I desire you to be a light in the dark places. To share My light with those who feel that all the lights have gone out. When you shine brightly for Me, you point people back to Me. The light you carry has power! Don’t hide this light away, for you do not need to fear carrying this light.

Embrace the brilliance; embrace the light within you and shine brilliantly for me.

Activation: Look into the spirit and ask Yahusha to show you how brightly you shine. Take a moment to reflect on what it means to shine for Yahusha. Spend time talking to Yahusha about how you can use this light to point others to Him.

78 The splendour-light of heaven’s glorious sunrise is about to break upon us in holy visitation, all because the merciful heart of our YAH is so very tender.

79 The word from heaven will come to us with dazzling light to shine upon those who live in darkness, near death’s dark shadow. And He will illuminate the path that leads to the way of peace.

Luke 1:78-79 (TPT)

4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
