Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A Kingdom Marathon

I saw in the spirit a man running a marathon. Every so often, he would reach out and grab water offered by the marathon volunteers. His movements were intentional, and it was important for him to spend time grabbing the water in order to finish his race.

The Spirit of the Lord says, “2025 was a face paced year. It demanded quick, decisive decisions and movement. You have felt the urgency behind every yes, and step you have taken. 

Now I want to teach you more. I want to teach you the wisdom and understanding of how to balance your life, your call and your assignments so you can run with Me and finish well.

What I have called you to do does not require you to sacrifice your self-care, your family, or your relationships. What it does require is balance. This is wisdom not selfishness. You need to learn the wisdom of balance to sustain you.

Activation:

Be intentional with your time. Grabbing that water may look like journaling, going for coffee with a friend, date night, or family movie night. Give yourself permission to refresh yourself and your relationships. This is a Kingdom marathon not a sprint.

He who gains wisdom and good sense loves (preserves) his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good and prosper.

Proverbs 19:8 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Don’t Bow to Old Shame

What are the words written on your heart? When pain strikes and situations crush, what comes out of you? I looked in the spirit and saw old altars with people clinging to them in desperation. 

The Spirit of the Lord says, “Release the old altars! For Jesus came to remove the old, and make a new way back to Me. No longer do you sacrifice in the old ways. Jesus Christ’s death on the cross paid the price for all sin, for all people, for all time.

Stop sacrificing to old ways of thinking. Stop bowing to old shame. Instead embrace your heart as the home of Holy Spirit. Do you have Me as the Lord of your heart? Is the altar in your heart full of life and love and Godly zeal? Am I your first love? Lay down your worries and schemes. Give yourself to Me in whole body worship. And let My love fill your heart.”

21 Now it is God who establishes  and confirms us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has anointed us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 

22 it is He who has also put His seal on us [that is, He has appropriated us and certified us as His] and has given us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a security deposit to guarantee the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life].

23 But I call on God as my soul’s witness, that it was to spare you [pain and discouragement] that I did not come again to Corinth—

24 not that we rule [like dictators] over your faith, but rather we work with you for [the increase of] your joy; for in your faith you stand firm [in your strong conviction that Jesus of Nazareth—the Messiah—is the Son of God, through whom we obtain eternal salvation].

1 Corinthians 1:21-24 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Remain Undaunted

I saw in the spirit waves gently lapping the shore. But the waves changed. They grew bigger, louder, more powerful. They began to crash onto previously quiet places. 

The people on the beach looked uncertainly at the towering waves. As the ocean crashed and the wind howled, many people fled in panic. But some were prepared, standing firm and ready to adjust to what was happening.  

The Spirit of the Lord says, “Be undaunted and look to Me. Am I not greater? Have I not overcome the world?  Have I not promised you that I will prepare a place for you in eternity? 

Now is the time to stand firm in Me, and be fully available for My tasks! Stand ready as a source of hope and joy for the people around you. Share your confidence in Me and My return, so that others may know the hope found in the Lord.”

Activation:

Ask the Holy Spirit in which area you can prepare yourself even better, and what His thoughts are on how you should do this. Write down your impressions and plan how to implement them.

A Hard Road Before Them

“Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves [have no self-serving agenda].

Matthew 10:16 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Heartbeat of Heaven

I saw in the spirit many deep orange, velvet tapestries hanging from the ceiling to the floor. The light glistened as I gently ran my fingers against the soft texture. The beat of a drum started to boom in the spirit.

The sound grew louder until I could feel the drum beat deep in my bones. I stopped, and saw Jesus, His hands beckoning me to come closer. I took a step and Jesus placed His hands on my shoulders. I could see joy in His eyes. His hands were coated in authority and anointing. My shoulders immediately loosened under the power of His presence.

As I looked at Jesus, I could hear His magnificent heart beating. Jesus began to realign every bone in my body in time with the beat of His heart. Every alignment He made within me, created a new freedom that surged through my veins.

The Spirit of the Lord says, “You have found yourself in unfamiliar situations, but I am leading you into a greater freedom. I am calling you into My heart to experience the full measure of My love for you. Will you allow Me to deliver you of everything that hinders? Allow Me to align your spirit with Mine, so that our hearts can beat to the same tune. For I delight in you.”

“The LORD your God is in your midst,
A Warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with joy;
He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins],
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Write Your Heart Song

What does your heart sing to the Lord? “I am releasing an anointing in the earth to write the worship of your heart to Me,” says the Spirit of the Lord. “Write down the lyrics and music of devotion. Sing of your journey with Me, so the world may hear your testimony. Create ballads of My beauty, lullabies about My love, anthems on My righteousness and sung declarations of My justice.

Make music for My glory. I say again, make music for My glory! Put psalms to songs, make melodies for each other. Sing spiritual songs over your communities. Declare over others hymns. Spend time in My presence, singing songs of your heart to Me.”

Activation:

Ask God what aspect of His character does He want you to sing about. Then from your heart, worship the Lord with the song of your heart.

18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him.

19 [a]Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, [offering praise by] singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

Ephesians 5:18-19 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Ephesians 5:19 The Greeks had a tradition of holding drinking parties (called, in the singular, a symposium) where the object was to sing the praises of the pagan gods while becoming drunk. Perhaps with this tradition in mind, Paul instructs believers to “be filled” instead with the Holy Spirit and to sing meaningful praises to God.

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Fresh Manna Next

    “It’s time to clear out the stale bread,” says the Lord. “I see you sparingly partaking of the bread leftover from the past season. Open your eyes to see the bread I gave you yesterday has gone stale and even has a rotten stench.

    I have prepared fresh manna for you, and for everyone who will partake! New bread for the new season! Taste and see! For I am increasing your discernment,” says the Lord. “As you abide in Me, you will recognize what is for you today. And you will recognize what was for yesterday, and leave that behind.”

    Activation:

    First ask God what is the old that you need to let go of. Now ask God what is the current thing He has prepared for you. Allow the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of your heart to what God wants you to focus on today.

    Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will cause bread to rain from heaven for you; the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, so that I may test them [to determine] whether or not they will walk [obediently] in My instruction (law).

    Exodus 16:4 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Think BIG Next

    Happy Tuesday. Here is your Lion Bites for today.

    I saw in the spirit the feet of a child, tiptoeing in a clearing. He was trying to find his way between the trees in front of him, as sunshine streamed through the leaves. He was both thrilled and slightly fearful, for he had never been this way before.

    The Spirit of the Lord says: “Oh, my lovely child! It is such a pleasure to see you leaving behind what was and stepping into the new! I feel your excitement and your heart thumping. Yet, I am not just asking you to take small, doubtful steps. I am asking you to take strides!

    Look for My hand. I am right beside you. Let’s run together into all I have for you. Think big, be bold, have fun! Nothing is impossible with Me. There will be hills and lakes, flowers and frosts, ups and downs. Take it all in. Breathe it. Live it. Enter fully into My plan for the next season. Live the life I have prepared for you.”

    ACTIVATION:

    Take time in God’s presence and allow Jesus to take you by the hand. Ask Jesus what are the next big strides in the new. Ask the Lord what He wants you to think big plans about. Receive the mind of Christ as in 1 Corinthians 2:16.

    FOR WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND AND PURPOSES OF THE LORD, SO AS TO INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].

    1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMP)

    Be guided by the thoughts of God.

    The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

    John 10:10 (AMP)
