Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A Spiritual Cleanse

Your body is a home for My Holy Spirit and I’m urging you to let me help you scrub it clean.

You have a spiritual house along with the physical bricks and mortar building you live in, and for some of you I am speaking about a deep cleanse for both!

Over the years you have collected lots of possessions but haven’t realised how much some of those things weigh you down. As you start cleaning, clearing out and getting rid of stuff, you will be amazed at the lightness and sense of well-being it brings. This works both in the practical and the spiritual, and I love using symbols to help you see things more clearly.

I understand decluttering your physical home can feel overwhelming. Simply asking My Spirit, ‘Where do I begin’ will save you time and effort. Allow Holy Spirit to highlight anything which needs to go; maybe a memento from someone you no longer see, because it inspires grief hidden in your heart. And yet, when you bring the pain to me, I get to draw close and bring you healing.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to direct you to something He wants you to clear out in your home. As you embark on this chore, continue to ask more questions… Why this particular drawer, cupboard, shed, etc., and what it represents in your life? Keep your spiritual ears open as you work through this process and pause when you sense Holy Spirit asking you to linger or highlighting something to you. You will feel so much lighter by the end of it.

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your bodies.

1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)

Monday Morning Scripture (Wk37/2022) – 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

The Body Is The Lord’s

12 Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].

13 Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will do away with both of them. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body [to save, sanctify, and raise it again because of the sacrifice of the cross].

14 And God has not only raised the Lord [to life], but will also raise us up by His power.

15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Am I therefore to take the members of Christ and make them part of a [1]prostitute? Certainly not!

16 Do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “THE TWO SHALL BE ONE FLESH.”

17 But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

18 Run away from sexual immorality [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written]. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body.

19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?

20 You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20 (AMP)

  1. 1 Corinthians 6:15 Corinth was famous for its prostitutes, and many if not all probably practiced their trade in connection with the worship of Aphrodite. Having relations with temple or cult prostitutes was considered acceptable behavior, and Paul’s admonitions here indicate that some of the Corinthian converts were continuing the practice.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – My Ways Are Higher

Please do not judge me by the world’s standards; by the disappointments you have experienced and the pain you have suffered. When you do, you limit what I can do; you limit my reach and my desires for your life.

My thoughts are higher than yours and my ways and means are unlimited. I can do exceedingly, abundantly above all you ask, think or imagine. In this world you will have trouble but I have overcome the things that stand in opposition to your advancement, and in me you can do all things. I want to reveal myself in and through your daily life challenges.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV)

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us . . .

Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV)

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

John 16:33 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Change In Worship

What does the Lord require of us in worship?
He is saying ‘Give me your heart, that is your mind, soul and spirit, for bringing your heart allows for change. When you worship, humbly bringing your gifts to my feet, let us speak with each other and hear each other. Do not withhold your worship of Me.

Come into my presence no matter what is happening in your environment. Angels are commanded to adore me for they see me face to face. Your place is as part of that crowd of witnesses. Tell me of my great deeds, yes, for that is praise and what you declare with your mouth in my presence is important.

I require your attention, but not just for a few hours. Switching off from listening to me ‘for a rest’ is not the worship that I desire. You have not yet been consumed by me; you have only submitted to me. Your humble worship and your outright praise of me are bringing forwards a breakthrough in how you speak with one another. So, no more withholding your worship because it is not like others or their outward
appearance.

As your heart grows before me, allow me to speak, convict and comfort. Choose my heart priorities, then change will happen. I say you will complement one another without jealousy, ask for help without comparison, seeking the best for others in areas when you still lack. This breaking of you will allow Holy Spirit activity to flourish
through you to serve the world. Such is worship.’

Worship the Lord in the splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him all the earth.

Psalm 96:9 (NIVUK)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)

Thursday Morning Scripture (Wk36/2022) – Isaiah 6

Isaiah’s Vision

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw [in a vision] the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, with the train of His royal robe filling the [most holy part of the] temple.

2 Above Him seraphim (heavenly beings) stood; each one had six wings: with two wings he covered his face, with two wings he covered his feet, and with two wings he flew.

3 And one called out to another, saying,

“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is filled with His glory.”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke.

5 Then I said,

“Woe is me! For I am ruined,
Because I am a man of [ceremonially] unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.

7 He touched my mouth with it and said, “Listen carefully, this has touched your lips; your wickedness [your sin, your injustice, your wrongdoing] is taken away and your sin atoned for and forgiven.”

Isaiah’s Commission

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people:

‘Keep on listening, but do not understand;
Keep on looking, but do not comprehend.’
10
“Make the heart of this people insensitive,
Their ears dull,
And their eyes dim,
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered,

“Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
And houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,
12
The Lord has removed [His] people far away,
And there are many deserted places in the midst of the land.
13
“And though a tenth [of the people] remain in the land,
It will again be subject to destruction [consumed and burned],
Like a massive terebinth tree or like an oak
Whose stump remains when it is chopped down.
The holy seed [the elect remnant] is its stump [the substance of Israel].”

Isaiah 6:1-13 (AMP)
