Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Sharpen Your Discernment

“It’s time to sharpen your discernment. To see things as they truly are, for not everything is what it seems on the surface,” says the Spirit of the Lord.

I saw in the spirit a hillside covered in trees. Most of the trees were still bare from their winter rest. Some had the beginning signs of new growth, spring buds starting to spring forth.

And some of the trees looked luscious and green, covered in leaves. But as I looked closer, the Lord showed me that the leaves did not belong to the tree. For the tree was in fact already dead. Ivy snaked around the lifeless trunk and along the branches, giving an illusion of life.

“In this season, things are not what they seem. It’s important that you look closer and use the gift of discernment of spirits to know what is alive in Me and what is not. Do not allow illusion to mislead you,” says the Spirit of the Lord.

‘Ask for My wisdom and discernment, and so that you are not deceived. See new beginnings from Me and allow the promise of life to come to fill your heart. Stay close to Me and know My heart is for you, always.” 

16 Do not be misled, my beloved brothers and sisters.

17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow [a]cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].

James 1:16-17 (AMP)

The Cure of Anxiety 25 “Therefore I tell you, stop being worried or anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear.

Wednesday Morning Scripture – Psalm 103

Praise for the LORD’s Mercies.

A Psalm of David

1 Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is [deep] within me, bless His holy name.

2 Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits;

3 Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases;

4 Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;

5 Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.

6 The LORD executes righteousness
And justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and lovingkindness.

9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins [as we deserve],
Nor rewarded us [with punishment] according to our wickedness.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Just as a father loves his children,
So the LORD loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

14 For He knows our [mortal] frame;
He remembers that we are [merely] dust.

15 As for man, his days are like grass;
Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 For the wind passes over it and it is no more,
And its place knows it no longer.

17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

18 To those who honor and keep His covenant,
And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts].

19 The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all [the universe].

20 Bless the LORD, you His angels,
You mighty ones who do His commandments,
Obeying the voice of His word!

21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him and do His will.

22 Bless the LORD, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion;
Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul!

Psalm 103:1-

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – God of Restoration

I saw Father God sitting in a large chair in the spirit, steadily weaving silver thread into a large tapestry. Joy and peace radiated from Him. The tapestry represented the story of so many lives while the silver thread signified His redemption in those stories.

“I am bringing redemption to the lives of My Sons and Daughters,” says the Spirit of the Lord. “I am restoring joy and freedom where trials and difficult seasons have overwhelmed.

I am restoring hope and vision for the coming days.

I am restoring relationships and finances that the enemy has stolen. 

I am restoring health and strength where the enemy has worn out the saints.

I am restoring prodigal sons and daughters to their families and loved ones.

Even though there have been times of suffering, trial and loss, declare with your whole heart, ‘I know that My Redeemer lives!’  Wait with faith and expectation, watch and see what I will do.”

Activation:

Reflect on Scripture which speaks of God’s redemptive purposes.  Give thanks for His goodness and mercy.  Choose a verse which speaks to your situation and declare it over your life with faith in the days ahead.

1 Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits;

3 Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases;

4 Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;

5 Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.

Psalm 103:2-5 (AMP)
