Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – In The Cleft

Abiding in me is your only place of safety in the days ahead, both in the shaking to come but also as I pour out my glory in greater measure on the earth. I am the rock on which your feet must be planted in order to stand secure. Just as I hid Moses in the cleft of the rock while my goodness and glory passed by, so too you need to be hidden in me in the days of my glory to come.

As the world around you shakes, know that I am able to hold you securely. Everything that is not of me is destined to crumble and fall.

Allow me to shake what is not of eternal value.
Allow me to remove what will not last.
Allow me to set your feet on solid ground.
Allow me to establish you firmly.
First the shaking, then the fire of my glory.

I will test you in the shaking. I will test you with my fire. I will test you with my goodness and glory. Remain in me and live!

Activation: Many of us have been through a process of allowing God to strip away that which is not for this season, but as the shaking continues, he is testing and refining us so that He and He alone is our place of security. You may like to invite Holy Spirit to search your heart still deeper for that which He wants to remove from or realign in your life so as to build a secure foundation in you for the days ahead.

21 Then the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place beside Me, and you shall stand there on the rock;

22 and while My glory is passing by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and protectively cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

Exodus 33:21-22 (AMP)

26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,

29 for our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 12:26-29 (ESV)

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Psalm 62:2 (ESV)

Friday Morning Scripture (Wk34/2022) – Hebrews 12:18-29

Contrast of Sinai and Zion

18 For you have not come [as did the Israelites in the wilderness] to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to gloom and darkness and a raging windstorm,

19 and to the blast of a trumpet and a sound of words [such that] those who heard it begged that nothing more be said to them.

20 For they could not bear the command, “If even a wild animal touches the mountain, it will be stoned [to death].”

21 In fact, so terrifying was the sight, that Moses said, “I am filled with fear and trembling.”

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels [in festive gathering],

23 and to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to God, who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect [bringing them to their final glory],

24 and to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant [uniting God and man], and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance].

The Unshaken Kingdom

25 See to it that you do not refuse [to listen to] Him who is speaking [to you now]. For if those [sons of Israel] did not escape when they refused [to listen to] him who warned them on earth [revealing God’s will], how much less will we escape if we turn our backs on Him who warns from heaven?

26 His voice shook the earth [at Mount Sinai] then, but now He has given a promise, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the [starry] heaven.”

27 Now this [expression], “Yet once more,” indicates the removal and final transformation of all those things which can be shaken—that is, of that which has been created—so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe;

29 for our God is [indeed] a consuming fire.

Hebrews 12:18-29 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Walk on the Waters

It’s time to walk out on the waters between the unknown and knowing trust.
Letting go of the familiar, it is time to count the cost.
Where trepidation and uncertainty seem to loom overhead; unheard, the cries of desperation seem to echo from within.

But as you move at My command, the seemingly impossible unfolds and forms a path. Upon the waters of impossibility, by faith, you make a track. Answers are coming swiftly, upgrades and downloads from heaven, to accelerate and propel you forward. These will bring illumination and revelation.

Although your way may seem uncertain, know that I have it all in hand; as you follow My lead and guidance, I will cause you to inherit the land.

Activation: Spend some time with Jesus and ask Him if there’s anything He wants you to
release to Him. Ask Him what He wants to reveal to you about moving forward in
faith with Him.

Suggested prayer: “Lord, I choose to place my trust in You, despite how I feel and
any uncertainties that I’m experiencing. Please strengthen me as I follow your lead
and move forward by faith.”

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Matthew 14:27-29 (NIV)

Thursday Morning Scripture (Wk34) – Matthew 14:22-36

Jesus Walks on the Water

22 Immediately He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side [of the Sea of Galilee], while He sent the crowds away.

23 After He had dismissed the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was there alone.

24 But the boat [by this time] was already a [1]long distance from land, tossed and battered by the waves; for the wind was against them.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night (3:00-6:00 a.m.) Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.

27 But immediately He spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I! Do not be afraid!”

28 Peter replied to Him, “Lord, if it is [really] You, command me to come to You on the water.”

29 He said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

30 But when he saw [the effects of] the wind, he was frightened, and he began to sink, and he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you [2]doubt?”

32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33 Then those in the boat worshiped Him [with awe-inspired reverence], saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34 When they had crossed over [the sea], they went ashore at Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word throughout all the surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;

36 and they begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe of His robe; and all who touched it were perfectly restored.

Matthew 14:22-36 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Do You Love Me?

During these days, I AM revealing Myself as the Just Judge to My people. My people have forgotten who I AM. They have forgotten My voice, My ways, and have gone astray. My love will find them and bring them back to My fold.

As deep calls unto deep so, do I; Out of My love and My goodness, I AM bringing My sheep back. I AM pulling each one of them out of the dungeon and placing them on the solid rock the firm foundation of My feet. With My winnowing hand, I AM separating wheat and chaff in them. My burning fire will burn their heart, mind, and body as I want a pure sacrifice.

Prayer: Say this prayer out aloud. Insert the names of your loved ones wherever it says “you”:
With this in mind, we pray for you constantly, that our God may consider you worthy of the calling and fulfill with power every good desire and work of faith, so the name of our Lord Yeshua may be glorified in you, and you in Him, in keeping with the grace of our God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, TLV).

Think about how far you have fallen! Repent and do the works of love you did at first. I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place of influence if you do not repent.

Revelation 2:5 (TPT)
