Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Remove Painful Weeds

I saw in the spirit a beautiful plant pot bursting with flowers and luscious greenery. It looked like a blessing. However the plants spread to the ground and became destructive weeds. What was a blessing in one season became a problem in another.

“When you delay dealing with weeds,’ says the Spirit of the Lord, ‘they grow more persistent and more destructive. Now is the time to eradicate them! Sit with Me and consider where you have allowed things in your life to grow in ways that have later caused you pain?

What was a blessing in your last season, that is not serving you in this one? What has been hurt or ignored, that needs to be cared for or rebuilt? I need you to be alert and wise. Partner with Me now to remove the weeds and tend to your boundaries. If allowed to grow up in the wrong place, any plant can be perceived as a weed. I am calling you into higher levels of discernment, to ensure the right plants are allowed to thrive.

I am the gardener and you do not have to do this alone, but you do have to do it. If you deal with the weeds, other people will notice and ask you what is different. Point them to Me. This will embolden them to ask Me to help them to eradicate their own weeds.’

And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be [a]transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

Romans 12:2 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Midnight Praise

“Worship Me in the middle of a storm. Am I not the one who said ‘Peace, be still!’ to the waves and they obeyed? How much more can I command the storms in your life?” says the Spirit of the Lord.

‘Look to Paul and Silas for models on how to give a sacrifice of praise. As they sat in chains, they gave Me praise in the midnight hour. Despite being imprisoned, Paul and Silas sang songs onto Me, and prayed. And in their midst of their midnight praise, the earth quaked so violently that all the prison doors flew open and the chains binding everyone were unfastened.

Your praise in the darkest hour will release a power that will break the chains off you and everyone around you! It will shake off the kingdom of darkness. If you find yourself stuck, worship Me and watch what I will do,’ says the Spirit of the Lord.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

Through Him, therefore, let us at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.

Hebrews 13:15 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – God of Community

“I am the God of fellowship, I am the God of community. I invite you today to come and see Me afresh. Come and see My love for you. Come and experience Me, and know Me again.

We are one spirit, you and I. We know each other deeply, but I want to show you more. I want to reveal to you My love, My Word, My fellowship today. Take hold of this time to go deeper with Me, for I have so much more to show you.

I am not a process. I am not work. I am your Father in Heaven, who has written your name on the palm of My hand. I am the One who will never leave you nor forsake you. Come and experience the refreshment of My presence once more.

Activation:

Read John 1. As you do, ask God to meet you afresh today. If you are able, lie on your back and close your eyes. Ask Jesus to show you where He is in the room. Then ask Him to show you something new about His character. 

Allow Jesus to lead you in this. Allow for a deeper connection to emerge as you spend time with Him. Don’t rush out of this. Allow Jesus to guide you to who He is afresh today.

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

1 Corinthians 6:17 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Springtime Revival

“Look at a tree. Do you think it went to sleep for winter, and gave up? I am the God of provision. I see the needs of every created thing, and I supply its needs. I formed that tree, which looks dead in winter, with the pattern to shed its leaves before the cold comes so it won’t waste its precious energy.

Have you ever noticed the tiny buds that pop out on a tree’s branches as spring begins to approach? They are protective, packed containers of embryonic plant tissue, ready to burst forth in a stunning display as warmer weather arrives.

If I have the life of a tree planned out, trust Me that I have a plan and a hope for your life too. Just like the tree, I’ve got you! Those springtime buds are in process, ready to burst forth with life.

A springtime revival is underway, bright with blossoming flowers. You are being prepared. As you keep your roots in Me, remain firm and avoid getting wobbly. I am with you always, and will bring the richest of spiritual harvests in and through your life.”

11 ‘For behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.

12 ‘The flowers appear on the earth once again;
The time for singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

13 ‘The fig tree has budded and ripens her figs,
And the vines are in blossom and give forth their fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
And come away [to climb the rocky steps of the hillside].’”

Song of Solomon 2:11-13 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Get Into Right Timing

A steady drum beat echoed across the earth in the spirit. I saw in the spirit many beginning to dance in time with the beat, while others marched, and musicians joined in. Creation itself began to move to the rhythm. Waves crashed, trees swayed, animals sprinted – all in time with the heavenly drum.

And the Spirit of the Lord says “Get into right timing. I am a God of order and unity, and I am calling you into My rhythm. I know where you have felt overly hurried and out of control. I know where you have felt anxious and out of time.

As you listen for My heartbeat, I am restoring you to a pace of peace. I see where you feel stuck and delayed. As you seek Me, I am releasing breakthrough and taking you into a right momentum. Listen for the rhythm.

Activation:

Lift up to God any area of your life where the timing feels wrong. Ask Holy Spirit to release a drum beat into your mind. Listen in the spirit to the beat, and as you hear it, clap in time. Ask Holy Spirit how long He wants you to continue to allow His timing to be released over you. 

Isaiah 46:9-10 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Strangers and Pilgrims

“Behold the promises I have set before you,” says the LORD. “Even as you walk as strangers and pilgrims through a land that is not your home, I will fill you with the gladness of hope.

Even as your fathers have endured, I am giving you the strength to endure this hour. I am sending you to strengthen and encourage, to give hope to My bride who has grown weary. Keep your eyes fixed on the hope of a homeland which does not fade away.”

Activation:

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Ask your Father in heaven to show you the hope He has for you. Ask His Holy Spirit to fill you with heavenly peace and hope. Thank the Lord that He is the God of hope, who gives joy, peace and power.

All these died in faith [guided and sustained by it], without receiving the [tangible fulfillment of God’s] promises, only having seen (anticipated) them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

Hebrews 11:13 (AMP)
