Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Walking in My Wise Ways

This is the time for wisdom beyond human understanding. This is the hour to walk boldly in the way of the wisdom of God, throwing yourself onto the Lord. I am calling you into a deeper trust in Me. I am asking you to walk in a way which allows no compromise in obedience to My Word. I have placed My wisdom in you and My revelation in you. Don’t you know that the strategies you are asking for are in your hands.

I am giving you increased wisdom in your decision making. Lean not on your own understanding, If you operate from a space of My wisdom you will see Kingdom structure built before your eyes. Lean into My wisdom and My understanding, look for Kingdom solutions and strategies. Do not look to the world for answers but lift your eyes up and look to Me. I have the answers you need and I will share them with you if you pause and ask.

Activation:

Make time to sit with God, dwelling deeply in the spirit of wisdom and revelation (Ephesians 1:17). Lean on God’s understanding, knowing it goes beyond your own. To lean on the Lord’s wisdom is to trust Him with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6). Look at the scriptures. Ask yourself – how does my life display the wisdom of God? Is it an honorable life, filled with good works flowing from humility, done in wisdom? (James 3:13). Live your life as a testimony of God’s guidance in your life.

Pray Ephesians 1:17 over yourself and ask God to fill you with His wisdom. Assess your life and ask God to highlight where you are living an honorable life filled with good works, and where there are opportunities for this.

[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son].

Ephesians 1:17 (AMP)

Wisdom from Above

Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him by his good conduct show his [good] deeds with the gentleness and humility of true wisdom.

James 3:13 (AMP)

3 Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

6 [a]In all your ways know and acknowledge and  recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

6 [a]In all your ways know and acknowledge and  recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].

Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Proverbs 3:6 One of the ancient rabbis said that all the essence of the Torah (Law) depends on this verse.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Run the Race

My child, I have seen your tiredness and frustration even as you live to follow and obey Me wholeheartedly. I know this is a time in which you are walking on a narrow cobblestone path with high grounds and deep valleys which are out of your comfort zone, but I am allowing this because I have a purpose that awaits you. The honing and refining are part of My plan for you. The hurdles are there to teach you how to lean on Me completely in every circumstance, so that you won’t be scared or taken aback as I start to shake what needs shaking in your life, in the Church and in the nations.

I am training, preparing and strengthening you so that you can help and show the Way to those I will send you. Even your life has to set the example of what it means to trust Me no matter what. It is for this reason that I am stretching you to the limit, for only then will you be certain that I will catch you when you jump off the cliff with no net underneath.

Therefore, continue to run the race that I marked out for you. Remember that I am with you all along and ask Me to fortify you when your limbs feel weak. Fix your eyes on Me and receive My joy that makes you invincible.

For the race is not over, but your breakthrough is near.

Activation:

Take time in God’s presence to speak to Him about this period of your life and its challenges. Invite Holy Spirit to comfort you, wash away any exhaustion and fill you afresh with His living waters. Then ask Him to reveal what has pulled you down and what is the heavenly plan of attack to reach that breakthrough that’s on your heart.

Jesus, the Example

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of [a]witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us,

2 [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, [b]disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].

Hebrews 12:1-2 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Hebrews 12:1 i.e. the people commended for their faith in ch 11. See 11:2, 39.

[b] Hebrews 12:2 Sometimes the public shame of the cross is overlooked when one thinks of the pain and agony inflicted by it, but in the Roman Empire crucifixion was a shameful and disgraceful way to die, a form of capital punishment from which Roman citizens were exempt; and in Roman comedy it was used in a curse: “Go to a bad cross!”

    Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

    Proverbs 13:12 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Think Differently

    I am releasing new ways of creative thinking, blueprints for innovation and brilliant strategies for leadership. Your human spirit is entwined with My Holy Spirit and I long to share with you My secrets and mysteries, not yet revealed.

    However, many in the Body of Christ have, for too long, been capped by the world’s education system which sets a standard based on the wisdom of man and rational thinking. You have allowed lack of ‘academic ability and/or achievement’ and even difficult workplace experience, where intimidation and discouragement have come against you, to limit your faith and expectation when it comes to how I display My wisdom, power and authority through you and therefore demonstrate the Kingdom.

    Do not judge yourself as the world does. Have I not said, ‘you have the Mind of Christ’? Have I not chosen the ‘foolish’ of this world to confound the wise? Sons and daughters, you are made in MY image. I exhort you to break agreement with the lies you have believed and to refrain from partnering with this low-grade thinking. You are seated in Heavenly places, therefore, keep your thoughts and hearts set on the things above and embrace Kingdom possibilities.

    I am your Heavenly Father, but I am also Almighty God with whom nothing is impossible. I alone am your source. In the coming days, your confidence, strength and ability must only come from identity in Me and life union with Holy Spirit on the inside of you.

    Activation:

    Sit with the Lord and ask Him to reveal any hidden hurt or pain because of negative experiences either at school, in higher education or in the workplace. Was your confidence shattered? Were negative words spoken which have limited you ever since? Allow Holy Spirit to reveal where the enemy may have used these experiences to intimidate and shut you down. Repent of believing the lies, break agreement with them, forgive where necessary and allow the Lord to heal your heart. Ask the Lord to give you scriptures which replace the lies. Declare the truth and meditate on these verses in the coming weeks. Allow faith to arise for how God wants to use you in the days ahead.

    For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

    1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMPC)

    Therefore, listen carefully, I will again do marvelous and amazing things with this people, wonderful and astonishing things;
    And the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
    And the understanding of their discerning men will be hidden.”

    Isaiah 29:14 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – My Blood

    My Blood is more than just a physical substance it is sacred, spiritual and powerful. My Blood is more than a symbol, It is a spiritual transaction, affirming God’s promise’s. My Blood doesn’t just cover sin but it is powerful to remove every sin. My Blood doesn’t just speak, it speaks a better word. My Blood is a place of victory. My Blood purchased you redemption and it purifies and makes a way for you to move into the most Holy places.

    Guilt can no longer hold you back, shame and condemnation have been covered. I am covering you with the purifying power of My Blood. Approach Me with confidence, with full assurance that you have been made pure by the covering of My Blood. You have full access to My presence. My Blood is ever present in your day to day reality, I want you to live from the place of being covered in and by My Blood.

    Activation:

    Take some time today to take communion. When you move to the wine decree this over yourself.

    The Blood of Jesus sets me free.

    The Blood of Jesus Christ redeems me and washes me clean.

    The Blood of Jesus makes me whole.

    Spend some time to ask Jesus what living from this place covered in and by His blood looks like. Ask Him how to position yourself in day to day life to reflect this truth.

    but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].

    1 John 1:7 (AMP)

    13 For if the sprinkling of [ceremonially] defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a [burnt] heifer is sufficient for the cleansing of the body,

    14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal [Holy] Spirit willingly offered Himself unblemished [that is, without moral or spiritual imperfection as a sacrifice] to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the ever living God?

    15 For this reason He is the Mediator and Negotiator of a new covenant [that is, an entirely new agreement uniting God and man], so that those who have been called [by God] may receive [the fulfillment of] the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has taken place [as the payment] which redeems them from the sins committed under the obsolete first covenant.

    Hebrews 9:13-15 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – My Body

    Today I want to remind you that My body was broken for you. My body was broken for you so that your health, heart, identity and relationships could be restored. I died so that you could have life in the fullest proportions. Many of you are not living in the fullness I died for. I am asking you to renew your understanding of the cost I paid for you, and the impact of that. By My stripes you are healed; in Me you are restored.

    My broken body paved a way for you to walk in fullness and in redemption. I am calling you to live this way as a sign of the price I paid. If the Israelites could walk in divine health under the old covenant (Psalm 105:37) how much more is available under the new covenant, sealed by the body and blood of Jesus Christ?

    He brought the sons of Israel out [of Egypt] with silver and gold,
    And among their tribes there was not one who stumbled.

    Psalm 105:37 (AMP)

    We are the body of Christ joined together by the sacrifice of My physical body. My brokenness made a way for unity not only with Me but with one another.

    Jesus replied to them, “[a]I am the Bread of Life. The one who comes to Me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in Me [as Savior] will never be thirsty [for that one will be sustained spiritually].

    John 6:35 (AMP)

    Footnotes

    [a] John 6:35 Jesus uses the words “I am” over twenty times in this Gospel. Especially memorable are those places where “I am” is followed by a metaphor that declares His deity and His relationship to mankind as Savior (this is the first of seven such references); see 8:12 (Light); 10:9 (Door); 10:11 (Good Shepherd); 11:25 (Resurrection); 14:6 (Way, Truth, Life); 15:5 (Vine).

      Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life! When you partake in the bread we receive His life giving power, we get access to His strength and His life we can experience for ourselves.

      He heals the brokenhearted
      And binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].

      Psalm 147:3 (AMP)

      Jesus’ broken body also heals our broken hearts and binds our internal wounds. Allow the restoration power of Jesus Christ to land on your heart today and bring wholeness where there has been pain and suffering.

      Activation:

      Take communion today and when you hold the bread decree over yourself ‘by His wounds I am healed.’

      For those who need physical healing ‘The broken body of Jesus is enough for my healing.’

      For those who need relationship wholeness and restoration ‘The broken body restores my relationship and unites the body of Christ.’

      For those who need to come out from the grips of death and into the fullness of the life Jesus offers us ‘Jesus the bread of life, I receive your life today.’

      For those who need healing in there inner most being ‘the broken body of Jesus binds up my wounds and make me whole.’

      Sit and allow the power and love of His body, broken for you, to wash over you today.

      But He was wounded for our transgressions,
      He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];
      The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him,
      And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.

      Isaiah 53:5 (AMP)

      Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Feast

      I am bringing a new weight and revelation to the body of Christ to reignite the power and the victory of communion. I am reawakening hearts and minds into a new awareness of what it means to Commune with Me, to connect with Me in this way. Communion is the meal of absolute victory. The meal which confirms your covenant with Me and the meal we are to take until My return. I am reawakening your viewpoint of communion and helping refresh love and adoration for Me. To help you live in an active remembrance of the one who died because of His love for you.

      At My table, bread and wine become more than just symbols. They speak of the cost of love. Love that gives up everything. Love that holds nothing back. This is a promise of victory over the grave which can not be broken. A body broken and blood poured out not just for remembrance but for renewal. Communion with Me is a place of restored intimacy. A place of victory. A place of healing. A place of restored identity and rest in Me.

      I say to you, come and sit with Me in the power of this feast and allow Me to flood you with fresh revelation. Let Me awaken you to the power of this feast. A feast which does not fail, does not disappoint but awakens your heart to who I Am and how I move. See communion with Me in a fresh light with fresh revelation.

      Activation:

      As you read the scripture below, let the words and revelation from the scripture mark you afresh. Reflect on what it means to practically apply “Do this in remembrance of Me”. Take communion as many times as you can and reflect the price Jesus paid for us all and the power of the cross. Remember the cost, remember the sacrifice and commune with Him today, from that position.

      The Lord’s Prayer

      23 [a]For I received from the Lord Himself that [instruction] which I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

      24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (represents) My body, which is [offered as a sacrifice] for you. Do this in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.”

      25 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.”

      26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death until He comes [again].

      1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (AMP)

      Footnotes

      [a] 1 Corinthians 11:23 Many scholars believe this may be the first written description of the Lord’s Supper since this letter from Paul is dated earlier than any of the Gospels.

        Tuesday Morning Scripture – Psalm 23 (AMP)

        The Lord, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.

        A Psalm of David.

        1 The LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],
        I shall not want.

        2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;
        He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.

        3 He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
        He leads me in the paths of righteousness
        for His name’s sake.

        4 Even though I walk through the [sunless] [a]valley of the shadow of death,
        I fear no evil, for You are with me;
        Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.

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

        6 Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,
        And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the LORD.

        Psalm 23:1-6 (AMP)

        Footnotes

        [a] Psalm 23:4 Or valley of deep darkness.

        [b]Psalm 23:5 In ancient times it was customary in hot climates for a host to provide his guest with olive oil to put on his head. The Lord blesses and anoints His believers with the Holy Spirit, whom oil symbolizes, to prepare them for His service.

        Tuesday Morning Scripture – Psalm 23 (CJB)

        (0) A psalm of David:

        (1) Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing.

        2 He has me lie down in grassy pastures,
        He leads me by quiet water,

        3 He restores my inner person. He guides me in right paths for the sake of His own name.

        4 Even if I pass through death-dark ravines,
        I will fear no disaster; for You are with me;
        Your rod and staff reassure me.

        5 You prepare a table for me, even as my enemies watch; You anoint my head with oil
        from an overflowing cup.

        6 Goodness and grace will pursue me
        every day of my life; and I will live in the house of Adonai for years and years to come.

        Psalm 23:1-6 (CJB)

        Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Table

        I say to you come and sit at the table that I have prepared for you in the presence of your enemies. This table is not an ordinary table but it is one of encounter. It is a table of intimacy. It is the table of break through. It is a meeting place with ME. This is the table of absolute victory and I have prepared a place for you at this table. The table is set and there is a chair with your name on it. There is a place for you at My table.

        To those of you who feel surrounded. To those of you who feel the pressures of life. To you who feel the weight of sickness or anxiety. I say to you, come today to the table of absolute victory. Come and feast on what I have prepared for you. Let’s sit together and let’s laugh in the face of the enemy, for at the table is absolute victory.

        My table is one I have prepared for you through the finished work of My Son Jesus Christ on the cross. This is not a place you need to earn or a place you deserve but a place I freely invite you into. The invitation has gone out, Come and feast on My presence and My faithfulness.

        This table holds a place of peace in the storm, clarity in the midst of confusion, healing in the place of pain. It is the meal of My covenant, The Blood and The Bread for your healing and wholeness. This table is for those who are seeking Me in the midst of your enemies. The table has been prepared for you and the seat is open. Come and take your rightful position with Me.

        Activation:

        Take some time to sit at the table with the Lord and partake in this communion meal and celebrate the victory He purchased for you. Reflect on the things in your life that feel like your enemies which try and surround you. Remind yourself of how small they are in compassion to Jesus Christ the Host and the meal at the table. This meal is the place of our victory. Take your rightful place with The Lord today and allow yourself to live out your day, your week positioned this way!

        Psalm 23:5 (AMP)

        Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Time to Reset

        My Bride, I know the past season has been hard for some and I have invited you into a time of rest to refresh and restore your soul.  A place of deep refreshing where My living waters have washed away the weariness and sullying of your soul.  However, it is My desire that you always live out of the overflow of intimate relationship with Me, so that the same living water which restores your soul and gives life to you, brings healing, cleansing and life to those around you.

        So now I invite you into a time of reset where you receive increased capacity for the new and allow fresh faith and hope to arise as you prepare your hearts and minds for what is coming. I have so much for you in the days ahead, but you need to be rightly positioned to move forward, not held back by distractions or assignments, responsibilities and relationships that no longer have life.

        As we sit together, let us evaluate your priorities, reorganising your life in such a way that you can move forward in obedience to Me with renewed purpose and vision to bring transformation to the world around you. Above all, I want you to draw near and discover a new grace filled way of living, fully awakened to My presence.  This way of living will hold you firm and release joy and strength for the days ahead even amid difficult circumstances.  This is true life in the Spirit, fully aware of your union with Me.

        Activation:

        It will take time to respond to this word, Sit with the Lord and ask Him to show you where your ‘energy drains and energy gains’ are.  You might want to bring your diary before Him, if you have one. Are there relationships, assignments or responsibilities that you have yet to walk away from?  The Lord is looking for those who are obedient in making the changes He has asked of them.  Allow Holy Spirit to show you where He is breathing new life and where the river is flowing.  Begin to make a plan to move forward into what the Lord reveals.

        28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].

        29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.

        30 For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”

        Matthew 11:28-30 (AMP)

        7 “Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord
        And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord.

        8 “For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters,
        That spreads out its roots by the river;
        And will not fear the heat when it comes;
        But its leaves will be green and moist.
        And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought
        Nor stop bearing fruit.

        Jeremiah 17:7-8 (AMP)
