Saturday Morning Scripture (Wk46/2021) – Psalm 5

Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.

To the Chief Musician; on wind instruments. A Psalm of David.

1 Listen to my words, O Lord, consider my groaning and sighing.

2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

3 In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; in the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].

4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; no evil [person] dwells with You.

5 The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight; You hate all who do evil.

6 You destroy those who tell lies; The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy; at Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You.

8 O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.

9 For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say; their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies]. Their throat is an open grave; they [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.

10 Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own designs and councils! Cast them out because of the abundance of their transgressions, for they are mutinous and have rebelled against You.

11 But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; because You cover and shelter them, let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.

12 For You, O Lord, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You]; You surround him with favor as with a shield.

Psalm 5:1-12 (AMP)

Do you hear it? Do you perceive it? It is the sound of My call and the sound of My heart. Come closer, lean in. Wait on Me a while. I am calling you to come and carry My heart, longings, desire, and yearnings in intercession. I will renew you with the breath of My Spirit. Be awake, be alert, be watching. Allow the fire of My passion to burn within you. Wake up! I am calling you to be stewards of My Kairos timings, and you must be awake and alert to catch the breath of My Spirit, to release My Kingdom in the earth.

These are days of accelerated change. Who will step out of the busyness of routine and away from the noise of the world to listen and partner with the still small voice of power and might? Step into the sound of the Kingdom!

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

Matthew 26:40 (NIV)

This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Matthew 6:9-10 (NIV)

Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire and after the fire a still small voice.

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 25.11.21 – That I May Know Christ Crucified

You have become comfortable with the things of life, comfortable in your preferences and comfortable in the pleasers of this world. Comfortable with the familiar that in the process you have made me a familiar process in your day. I am awakening my bride to the weight of my glory, to the purity in my Holiness. I am captivating the bride of Christ and bringing her to be set apart for my glory.

Activation: God, our prayer is that we would know Christ crucified, for we understand that if we want to know Christ in his glory, we must also know him in his suffering. God prepare us for the journey into your glory. Find us on our knees with hearts that long for you more than anything else.

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified

1 Corinthians 2:2 (NIV)

But whatever were gains to me, I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ. and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

Philippians 3:7-11 (NIV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 24.11.21 – Holy, Holy, Holy!

I am a jealous God! I am jealous for your thoughts. I am jealous for your time. I am jealous to be the object of your desire. I am asking for sacrifices to be made. What are you willing to do? How much are you willing to give up? When you gave me your “yes”, did it include everything? What are you holding on to? Is it more important than spending time with Me?

Partner with Me, and I will help you. Some of you, I have been asking to let go of unholy television programs. Some of you, I have asked you to let go of unholy music that is filling your ears. Some of you, I have prompted you to eat well. Others, I have asked you to give me everything, take up your cross and follow me. What will you do?

Ask Holy Spirit to show you the ways that I have been drawing you near. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal the things that hold you back from giving Me your all.

Jesus said to all of his followers, “If you truly desire to be my disciple, you must disown your life completely, embrace my ‘cross’ as your own, and surrender to my ways.

Luke 9:23 (TPT)

for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God

Exodus 34:14 (ESV)
