Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Hope

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

Proverbs 13:12 (NIV)

I am coming to bring an end to the spirit of delay, which has caused a deferring of hope in the hearts of my people. Today, I am coming to break off the delay which has caused you to lose hope, and I am restoring back to you a heart filled with hope.
I have not been the one delaying your hopes, and I have seen how the waiting has caused you to question my nature and your future. I am coming to heal your heart and remove disappointment.
I am shouting “let Hope arise” over you once again. This is the time for longing to be fulfilled and for life to be given back to you.
Dare to dream again, to hope again. I am on the move, and I am bringing fulfilment to you today.

The Assurance of God’s Saving Work

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob [1]defend you;

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;

3 May He remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah

4 May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your [2]purpose.

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, 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 [3]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 the name of the Lord our God.

8 They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright.

9 Save, Lord! May the King answer us when we call.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 15.12.21 – Streamline

I want you streamlined, and I want you ready. Cast off all that hinders you, do not be held back and buffeted by turbulence anymore. I don’t want you to experience drag when you accelerate.

You will rise above the shaking. Rise above the thunder, rise above the darkness, and you will be made ready.

It’s Go Time!.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

Hebrews 12:1 (NLT)

Wednesday Morning Scripture (Wk48/2021) – John 16:25-33

Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World

25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29 His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!

30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?

32 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his [1]own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [2]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

John 16:25-33 (NKJV)

Tuesday Morning Scripture (Wk48/2021) – John 16:16-24

Sorrow Will Turn to Joy

16 “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”

17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I go to the Father’?”

18 They said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not [1]know what He is saying.”

19 Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’?

20 Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

21 A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

22 Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

John 16:16-24 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 14.12.21 – Joy In Season

The Spirit of the Lord says there is joy in season for you! Hear the sound of joyous praises being released on the Earth. For many, this is a time where joy is lacking and not present because of the weight and burden you carry, but the Spirit of the Lord says that He is joy in times of trouble and sorrow, calm and peace in the night, and comfort in the grief and hardships.

Joy is for you; HE is for you! Do not settle for what it felt like in the past but step into the eternal joy I offer and place before you today. Do you not know that I am the founder and creator of joy itself? Find it only with Me. There is an abundance of joy in the season that is being released. Take and grab hold of it! It is for you

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13 (NIV)

My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to You; my soul also, which You have redeemed.

Psalm 71:23 (ESV)
