Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Steadfast

The Lord Most High would remind you today:
Though the waters may look like they continue to rise and the winds seem to constantly batter and blow, I call upon you, My people, to rise up above all chaos. Let me steady you as you keep your eyes fixed upon Me. Do not let the storms keep you locked away inside, hidden away from all things. Remember Who it is that you are speaking to. Remember Who it is that goes before you, keeping your path straight and narrow. I am your keeper, defender, master, and maker. I see through it all and from Heaven’s gates, My eyes remain fixed on you.

Activation: Take a moment to ask yourself if there is any fear that you are carrying. Take a hold of anything that arises; close your eyes and look to Yahusha. Hold out the things you are fearful of to Yahusha and be ready to receive from Him anything that He’d like to give you instead. Declare over yourself today: “Through the power of Christ within me, I am strong and courageous! I rise over all fear and chaos.”

Christ is Supreme

15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,[a]

16 for through Him Yahuah created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through Him and for Him.

17 He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.

18 Christ is also the head of the church, which is His body.
He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead.[b] So He is first in everything.

19 For God in all His fullness was pleased to live in Christ,

20 and through him God reconciled everything to Himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.

21 This includes you who were once far away from Yahuah. You were His enemies, separated from Him by your evil thoughts and actions.

22 Yet now He has reconciled you to Himself through the death of Christ in His physical body. As a result, He has brought you into His own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before Him without a single fault.

23 But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as Yahuah’s servant to proclaim it.

Paul Works for the Church

²⁴I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church.

²⁵God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his entire message to you.

²⁶This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past, but now it has been revealed to God’s people.

²⁷For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.

²⁸So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect^[c] in their relationship to Christ.

Living the New Life

1 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at Yahuah’s right hand.

2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.

3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 And when Christ, who is your[a] life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Send Away Doubt

Now is the time to regain your sense of awe and wonder. Take a hold of it, casting all doubts aside! Ask yourself today: Am I feeling doubtful and downcast?

How is your heart?
How are your thoughts?
Are you dwelling in anticipation or are you downcast and afraid to get excited?

The Lord says to you today: In this world you will have troubles but the challenge today is to break all partnership with doubt and let your faith arise. Let your faith fill your mind, your heart, every fibre of your being! Will you, like David, be confident that you will see my goodness in the land of the living? (Psalm 27:13).

Activation: Spend some time today having an honest chat with Holy Spirit about where you are carrying doubt. Invite Holy Spirit to highlight this to you and reflect on Psalm 27 (whatever translation you like best). Then, if necessary, spend some time in repentance for where you have knowingly and unknowingly partnered with doubt. Once that hold is broken, ask Holy Spirit to fill you afresh with more awe and wonder. Don’t leave this place until your faith has risen and you feel a sense of expectancy resting within you.

¹³ Yet I believe with all my heart that I will see again your goodness, Yahweh, in the land of life eternal!

¹⁴ Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope.

¹⁵ He will lift me high upon a rock, out of reach from all my enemies who surround me. Triumphant now, I’ll bring him my offerings of praise, singing and shouting with ecstatic joy!
Psalm 27:13-15 (TPT)

I will perform miracles for them^[a] as in the days of your exodus
from the land of Egypt.

⁷‘What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. And he will bring out the capstone accompanied by shouts of: Grace, grace to it!’”
Zechariah 4:6-7 (CSB)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Study and Reflect

Yahuah is releasing to the Ecclesia a strong desire and persistence to weigh biblical truths. His light will reveal things that have been hidden. This is a counterbalance to where many have been fed spiritual meat but have not chewed on that meat, instead, allowing challenges to drop once the teacher has finished speaking. Where you are reluctant to study or reflect, seek Him wholeheartedly for an increase in these areas. Spend time with Him today, considering the benefits of deeper study. Then, receive His blessing of desire and persistence.

It is the glory of Yahuah to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search it out.
Proverbs 25:2 (ESV)

Sluggards do not plough in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.
Proverbs 20:4 (NIVUK)

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
Romans 15:4 (ESV)

But in your hearts, revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have, but do this with gentleness and respect.
1 Peter 3:15 (NIVUK)

Do your best to present yourself to Yahuah as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Submit Your Ways

I am the God who holds time in My hands. I have seen from before until beyond. With Me there is no beginning and no end; I hold it all. My desire is to take you to the places that I have destined you to be in from before the foundations of the earth. Can you not see that I have provided even transportation to get you to the places I have called you to? You don’t need to sort it all out by yourself. Do you not understand that I am moving you in and out of even the things that would be barriers to you? Barriers you cannot even see. I can see ahead of where you are, but you must trust Me to see and know all things even when you can’t comprehend the journey.

Can you submit your ways to Me? Can you step into alignment with Me, moving at the speed and timing that I am asking of you?

Align yourself with Me and seek My timing for your life. Be willing to let go of the weights that have slowed you down and be ready to open your hands when I need to fill them. Trust Me to care for you, to move you, to reposition you, to expand you, and to help you. I have already provided everything that you need in this life if you will just trust that I have already done it.

Prayer: Yahusha help me to trust You and know that you have prepared a way for me, long before I was ever born. Open my eyes to see You; open my heart to hear You where I have tried to understand things on my own instead. Fill me with Your wisdom and give me insight and understanding so that my confidence is in You and not in the things of this world.

Activation: Close your eyes and see the sure and confident hand of Yahusha reaching towards you. Ask Him to reveal to you what He has for you in this next season of your life and accept from Him the good gifts He has prepared for you. See what He has in His hand to give to you.

4 just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love

5 He predestined and lovingly planned for us to be adopted to Himself as [His own] children through Yahusha the Christ, in accordance with the kind intention and good pleasure of His will—

6 to the praise of His glorious grace and favor, which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved [His Son, Jesus Christ].
Ephesians 1:4-6 (AMP)

For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says Yahuah, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP)

5 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

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Abound in Me

My beloved children: I am Yahuah, the God of plenty! When it feels like your time, finances, and abilities are being squeezed, do not turn to fear! Turn to me in the squeezing and the stress.

In these moments, remember who your Father is and call down the storehouses of heaven. Knock, knock, and knock some more, for the doors will open.

When the world feels tough and the fear of lack comes creeping in, take those thoughts captive and dwell on the truth of who your Father is.

Activation: Is there an area of your life where you are feeling squeezed? Maybe it’s your time or your finances. Whatever it may be, take a moment to dedicate this area of your life to Yahuah, asking Holy Spirit for His divine perspective and strategies. Declare the kingship of Jesus/Yahusha over this area of your life and ask Holy Spirit how you can steward this area in a kingdom way.

A Psalm of David

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters,

3 He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.
Psalm 23:1-3 (NIV)

Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from Yahuah our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us His true word. And we, out of all creation, became His prized possession.
James 1:17 (NLT)

I cried out to the Lord, “Yahuah, come and save me!” He was so kind, so gracious to me. Because of His passion toward me, He made everything right and He restored me. So I’ve learned from my experience that Yahuah protects the vulnerable. For I was broken and brought low, but He answered me and came to my rescue! Now I can say to myself and to all, “Relax and rest, be confident and serene, for Yahuah rewards fully those who simply trust in Him.”
Psalm 116:4-7 (TPT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Rejected Stone

When you see the shaking around you, don’t be alarmed.
I shake the foundations that are all built, to stumble and fall just like the Jericho walls. Then, all will know there is a God who recalibrates the broken part of our hearts and rebuilds the foundation.

I continue to shake the hardened hearts to crack open so that I could put a heart of flesh and put My Spirit in union with you. I will be your God and you will be My people. What you rejected once, has become your cornerstone. And now, through your repented heart and altered course, you have become My living stone.

Activation: Once, you may have rejected Jesus and now you have become His cornerstone who carries His heart. Today, take some time to read 1 Peter, Chapter 2 slowly in a translation that you haven’t read before. Repeat if needed and read it little by little while asking The Holy Spirit for His heart. Journal the conversations with The Holy Spirit. There is a lot of truth and treasure you could find.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter and give thanks to the Lord.

20 This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous shall enter through it.

21 I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation.

22 The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

23 This is from the Lord,
and it is marvelous in our eyes

24 This is the day that Yahuah has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:19-24 (BSB)

42 Jesus/Yahusha *said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,

‘A STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED,
THIS HAS BECOME THE [a]CHIEF CORNERSTONE;
THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD,
AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES’?

43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of Yahuah will be taken away from you and given to a [b]people producing its fruit.

44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and on whomever it falls, it will crush him.”

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Lost Sheep

Remember from where you were hewn.
Remember the mighty works of My Hands and the wonders that I did in your life.

I set you free from your captivity and strongholds.
I am the God of Judgment. My judgement brought you to repentance; I judged you with justice, mercy, and goodness.

Now, I am calling you to bring in those who are lost and living in darkness. As you once lived in ignorance and these ones too are lost in deception. I will bring My people onto your path. Look for My whistle and go after them. Make Me known to them. Do what I command. Do not despise small beginnings. When you sow the seed, it reaps the harvest for My kingdom.

Activation: Pay attention to those around you, whether you are with your fellow brothers and sisters, co-workers, shoppers or even when you walk down the street. Does anyone stand out for you? This is an invitation from the Holy Spirit to press in for His heart. It may be as small as lending your hands or standing in the gap for a prayer, but do not despise the day of small beginnings.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.
Proverbs 21:2 (ESV)

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
John 15:7 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Expectancy

Press in and hear the sound of heaven crackling with excitement!
Shake up your status quo.
Stand under the heavens and see what I am about to say and do.

I am coming like a rushing mighty wind; a cloud of glory! I do not want you to miss it by being caught up in your day-to-day activities and busyness.

Remove the things that distract you. Watch and listen. Meet with Me under the heavens.

I want to be together with My people and I want to rain down My revelation upon you.

I invite you to host My holy presence.
Allow My presence to expose your sin, allow My Spirit to bring you to the laver; to a place of repentance and to the blood of the Lamb that purifies you.

Activation: The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom. Sit with Me and allow My Holy Spirit to bring you from a starting place of reverential fear into knowledge, power, counsel, understanding, and ultimately, to a place of wisdom. Like wave after wave of the washing of the water of the Word, allow Me to bring you from glory to glory.

Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, Yahuah, have created it.
Isaiah 45:8 (NKJV)

The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.
Psalm 111:10 (NKJV)

The Spirit of Yahuah shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahuah.
Psalm 11:2 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – This Very Purpose

I am slow to anger and rich in mercy.

I am waiting patiently for My people to return to My fold. There is an end to My patience too. You have seen it in My Word. Will you stand in the gap for the lost who walk in deception and rebellion? Will you intercede as My servant Abraham did for Sodom? Will you initiate the conversation with Me for righteous and unrighteous? Even if you are frustrated, will you still ask for My mercy as My servant Moses did for the Israelites who walked in disobedience over and over again?

My heart breaks to see the people perish in darkness.
My heart is for everyone to know Me so as to be saved from My wrath.

As I chose Esther to protect My people, will you accept My call and ask My mercy for the lost?

Prayer: Father, You set me free from my ignorance and deception. You proved to me that You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and reorchestrated my steps. You reordained the trajectory of my life. So now, I bring to You all who are lost in deception starting from my family to the Nations. I consecrate their hearts to You and ask You to establish the Fear of Yahuah, in their hearts in Your goodness, I ask in the Mighty Name of Yahusha. Amen.

I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from Me there is no Saviour.
Isaiah 43:11 (NIVUK)

Instructions on Worship

1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—

2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God and one mediator between Yahuah and mankind, the man Christ Yahusha,

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Priority

My children, will you go deeper to hear the depths of My heart?
As a friend, I long to share the things that are most dear to Me, but I ask who there is who will come to listen?
And when you hear, will you steward what I share well?

For this heart-to-heart sharing, you need to shut out the cacophony of voices around you. You say you are busy, but you are not too busy to feast on entertainment and social media! Be honest and make me a priority, for I will share the deep things of My heart with those who pursue My depths. What friend shouts deeply personal things to another friend? No, they don’t and neither do I.

If you want to truly know Me, you need to be still and withdraw from other voices. Then, you will hear the deepest confidences of My heart. Those who do will carry anointing, authority, and power to be effective in the world.

So come to me to hear.

I am done with a powerless people who rely on their good ideas to represent Me in the world. I want to co-labour with you to show the world who I am: the God with every solution and strategy the world needs. So come.

Activation: Allow these words to stir your heart. What do you spend time on that could be better spent with Yahuah? How could you shut out the noise of the world to meet with Yahuah – turning off your phone, going to a different space, what else? Tell Yahuah you want to know Him heart to heart. What do you hear Him say?

Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
Acts 33.3 (NIV)

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; Yahuah is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to Yahuah!”
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT)
