Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Eyes off the Tailspin

Take your eyes off the tailspin portrayed to you daily in the media and by the one who feeds you a steady diet of lies. Take your eyes off the chaos which feeds a sense of life being out of control. Where is your hope? Where are you looking for stability?

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

Psalm 121:1-2 (ESV)

I AM, your source of stability in the unravelling of this world. I AM, the rock on which you stand. I AM, The One who brings you help. I AM, your safe place.

“God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.

We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake,

Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains.

Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.”

Psalm 46:1-3 (MSG)

I am strengthening you, My bride, to stand firm with your head held high, unassailable by the enemy as you put all of your trust in Me. I am removing your fear of the future as you choose to receive the fullness of My love for you. I have made you to be the head and not the tail, the one who forges a way through the days ahead with confidence and with hope. I have made you to be one who declares My hope to those spinning out of control, those caught in the cross winds and whirling in the storm. I have made you to be one in whom I hold out My hand of rescue to those in need of My deliverance.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to show you where you have been drawn into the ‘tailspin,’ and allowed fear, panic or anxiety to plant a seed within you. Uproot anything that He shows you and ask Him to give you a fresh revelation of His love for you.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23-24 (NIV)

Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in Him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with His super-abundance until you radiate with hope!

Romans 15:13 (TPT)

Tuesday Morning Scripture (Wk10/2022) – Acts 11:19-26

Barnabas and Saul at Antioch

19 Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.

20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

22 Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.

24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.

25 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.

26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

Acts 11:19-26 (NKJV)

Gospel Song of the Day – Encourage Yourself

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

1 John 4:4 (NKJV)

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Romans 8:37 (NKJV)

The Truth Shall Make You Free

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.

36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

John 8:31-36 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – More of God’s Glory

I know the struggle of faith that you have been walking through and I want to help you today. Let’s be like Thomas and look at my son’s wounds; see the scars, see the holes in his hands. You are used to bringing your prayers to the foot of the cross and I am preparing you to carry more of my glory, but first we need to deal with doubts and fears.

It is time to put those doubts and fears into the wounds of Jesus. After all, He was wounded for your transgressions, punished for your sins, and you do not need to carry them. Just like Thomas, it is time to receive the blessing of peace. Jesus spoke to Thomas as He saw him wrestling with his doubts, and He wanted to encourage him. I want to encourage you.

Activation: Ask the Lord to help you become aware of His scars. Explore them like Thomas. Ask Him to show you any doubts or fears you are holding onto. Repent, then receive forgiveness as you place those doubts and fears into His wounded hands. Receive His peace and know that He is preparing you for more of His glory.

Seeing and Believing

24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”

So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”

27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not beunbelieving, but believing.”

John 20:24-27 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Come Up Higher

Come and walk with me for a while. Come up higher my children, for too long you have been looking down, bogged down in the details of life. Though there are times and seasons that you need to deal with the minutiae of life, I want you to come up higher and receive a higher perspective. Come and see through my eyes of love.

Many of you have gotten lost in the details and feel overwhelmed, like someone lost in the woods. Come up to me and let me show you another perspective: the bigger picture. It is time to see things differently. For many of you, those things that seemed beautiful, important, and necessary now make you feel overwhelmed and anxious. I want you to come up higher, where the air is clear and you can see.

From my perspective things are so much clearer, for my ways are not your ways, and my thoughts are not your thoughts. Come up to me and embrace my perspective, letting all fear disappear, and walk with me in peace.

Activation: Take the hand of Jesus and ask him to lift you above your circumstances. Ask him to show you everything that you are concerned about from his perspective. Ask him to show you things through his eyes and for him to help you see the bigger picture of what he is doing.

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Kingdom Time

It is time, my bride, for my kingdom to manifest on the earth. It’s time for my kingdom, my power, and my glory to be revealed and seen. Wake up, get yourself ready, and wash your face from the last season. It is time to rise now in faith as a mighty army and bring my healing and wholeness to the earth.

Stand up my warriors! Polish your shields, pick up your swords, and make some noise. It’s time for you to intimidate the enemy across the airwaves.

Watch and see as I confuse the enemy as you declare and decree miracles. Speak out your testimony as your battle cry. I will move through the media and creative miracles will be seen. Watch, even as I change weather patterns, and you will see unusual phenomena happening as you decree my glory. Tune in higher and hear and see what I’m doing.

Step into my time for it is time to take back territory that has been stolen or lost in the past season. Stand tall and have courage my glory carriers. Take the land and the air for the earth and everything in it belongs to me, says the Lord . “I will be seen,” says the Lord, “in all my glory. For mine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever amen.”

Activation: As you come to God ask him how to make yourself ready. See yourself standing before God and ask him to equip you with the full armour of God. Ask him to show you what your shield and sword looks like. Ask him for specifics, such as what is written on your shield. Ask him how you can be a glory carrier. Where and how can you release your voice across the airwaves or in your home and begin to decree and declare God’s Glory.

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be your name,

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

As we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory

Forever and ever Amen

Luke 11:2 :24 (NIV)

Friday Morning Scripture – Psalm 8

The Lord’s Glory and Man’s Dignity

To the Chief Musician; set to [1]a Philistine lute [or perhaps to a particular Hittite tune]. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babes You have established strength because of Your adversaries, that You might silence the enemy and make the revengeful cease.

3 When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established,

4 What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

5 Yet You have made him a little lower than [2]God, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

7 All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,

8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:1-9 (AMP)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 8:1 Or perhaps to a particular key; meaning uncertain.
  2. Psalm 8:5 LXX reads angels; Heb Elohim is usually translated “God” or “god.” But it can also mean “gods” (with a lowercase “g”) when it is used with reference to the pagan gods of other nations. See, for instance, Ex 20:3: “You shall have no other gods (Elohim) before Me.” Since there are no capital letters in Hebrew as there are in English, the meaning of Ps 8:5 is ambiguous. It may be saying that humans were created a little lower than God Himself, or it may say that humans were created a little lower than the heavenly beings.
