Friday Morning Scripture (Wk48/2021) – Psalm 19

Prayer for Victory over Enemies.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

20 [1]May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble!

May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]!

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary (His dwelling place) and support and strengthen you from Zion!

3 May He remember all your meal offerings and accept your burnt offering. Selah.

4 May He grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans.

5 We will sing joyously over your victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God.

8 They have bowed down and fallen, but we have risen and stood upright.

9 O Lord, save [the [2]king]; may the [3]King answer us in the day we call.

Psalm 20:1-14 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 10.12.21 – A Life On The altar

For a long time, you have come and given me your offering to place on the altar. You have come and poured out your costly perfume at my feet many times. I have loved these acts of adoration at my feet.

In this season, I am calling you higher. Come higher; no longer do I want you just to bring me an offering or pour out your oil at my feet, I want YOU to be the sacrifice; I want YOU to be the oil.

Am I worth everything you have? Are you willing to give your life as a sacrifice of praise or as the oil of love and intimacy poured out? I no longer want small sacrifices that are fleeting, but I want a life of praise, sacrifice, and adoration to me.

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Colossians 3:1 (NIV)

Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

John 12:3 (NIV)

Thursday Morning Scripture (WK48/2021) – Psalm 19

The Works and the Word of God.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;

And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands.

2 Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars]; their voice is not heard.

4 Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them and in the heavens He has made a tent for the sun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; it rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

6 The sun’s rising is from one end of the heavens, and its circuit to the other end of them; and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect (flawless), restoring and refreshing the soul; the statutes of the Lord are reliable and trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether.

10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned [reminded, illuminated, and instructed]; in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors or omissions? Acquit me of hidden (unconscious, unintended) faults.

13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous (deliberate, willful) sins; let them not rule and have control over me. Then I will be blameless (complete), and I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:1-14 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 09.12.21 – My Fire

My Fire is unyielding.
My Fire is all-consuming.
My zeal is unrelenting.
My compassion, always burning.

The fire of My love burns with intensity for you.
Allow the fire of My love to consume you.
Allow the gaze of My eyes to burn away that which confines you.
Allow the joy of My Spirit to burst forth and overwhelm you.

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it …

Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (NKJV)

The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)

Prayer and Activation

“Lord Jesus, I receive the fire of Your love for me. Come and encounter me and burn away any ungodly restriction in my life. Lord, I yield to You, have Your way in me. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and empower me to live on fire for You.”

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance- 07.12.21 – Light In The Darkness

I am taking my bride through a refining season, burning up the impurities of her heart with the fiery gaze of my jealous love. I want only MY image to remain! I am toppling the idols of compromise and comfort that have made her stagnant.

Look, as I clothe her in the purest of whites, her dress glistens like the freshly fallen snow when the light shines upon it. I long to pull back the curtain to unveil my Beloved bride so that all may see My glory reflected through her countenance. Her purity will make her attractive to a desperate and hurting world, and I will set her like a lighthouse shining in the darkness so that the lost and broken can run to her to find shelter.

See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Isaiah 48:10 (NIV)

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV)
