Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A Renewed Mindset

You have settled in your comfort zone! You are in a familiar place where you think your mind has been renewed. As a result of good habits, these have become unintentionally stale and linked to repetition, tradition and religiosity, no matter how Spirit-filled your background is.

You ask, “how can I have fallen into such a trap, Lord?” but watch out for that subtle vein of complacency with what is “right”. This is because what is right is different from the Truth. Human righteousness can be good, but it doesn’t have the breath of My Spirit. Therefore, as such, it doesn’t have Life and will lead to a mouldy, Pharisaic mentality. This, in turn, may push you unknowingly towards judgement and rigidity rather than one filled with My Spirit.

It is My love and mercy that should make people who don’t know Me feel that they matter and that I see them. Not rules, however right they may be.

Remember, My child, that any of your achievements will fall short if there is a lack of the fear of the Lord. So come to Me and let’s talk. I will show you where your heart has hardened and I will soften it again as I marinate it with My tender love.

Activation:

Read Ephesians 4:17-31 with Holy Spirit. As verses stand out to you, repent for having partnered with anything that is against the Word of God and has stiffened your heart. Then ask Him to renew you to start afresh.

The Christian’s Walk

17 So this I say, and solemnly affirm together with the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the [unbelieving] Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds [and in the foolishness and emptiness of their souls], 

18 for their [moral] understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded; [they are] alienated and self-banished from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the [willful] ignorance and spiritual blindness that is [deep-seated] within them, because of the hardness and insensitivity of their heart.

Ephesians 4:17-18 (AMP)

22 that, regarding your previous way of life, you put off your old self [completely discard your former nature], which is being corrupted through deceitful desires,

23 and be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude],

24 and put on the new self [the regenerated and renewed nature], created in God’s image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the truth [living in a way that expresses to God your gratitude for your salvation].

Ephesians 4:22-24 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Placed and Planted

Sons and daughters, I am asking you to be positioned with authority in these days. My child, know that you are sanctified in My blood and stand in positional authority with Me. I am by your side always and in Me you are never alone. I am asking you to join forces in this season as you stand in Me and with Me.

Togetherness with Me and those in the kingdom is of deep value in these coming days, I do not want you to face battles isolated and alone. Even now I am asking you to know where you are to be situated in the spirit and in the natural and to know where your feet are to be firmly planted.

Do not give in and do not give up in this season but press on and persevere with Me and those I have connected you with. I am asking for your endurance in this season and  to complete to the finish all I have assigned  for you to do. Fresh fruit is there for the taking and the harvest is ripe. I am asking you to be the ones who are placed and planted and ready for the Harvest. The time is now!

Activation:

Spend some time sitting with God becoming aware of His presence and where He is in the room with you. Once you become more aware of His presence and person with you, ask Him for insight and wisdom led by the questions below.

Am I situated where you want me to be?

Is there anything you have given me to do that I have given up on too soon or put to one side?

Is there anything I am doing in Your Name that you have not asked Me to do or are no longer asking Me to do?

27 The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.

28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand.

John 10:27-28 (AMP)

4 Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.

5 [a]I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.

8 My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.

9 I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you].

John 15:4-9 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Walking on Waters

    I am ferrying you from what was, into the new, says the Spirit of the Lord. I am asking you to connect into the places of grief, that belongs to the former season, before you cross your Sea of Galilee. I have allowed the grief to come to the surface unexpectedly so that your heart wounds may be totally healed, and not become unknowingly gangrenous. This is a time of cleansing, a period of lament as I reveal to you the things I am asking you to take care of and process in these days.

    Even now I am shifting your discernment and understanding around the enemy’s attacks on your life, health, finances and relationships. It is undeniable that you are in a phase of maturity, but in order to step into it and to be able to start walking on waters with Me you have to leave what is unnecessary, toxic and corrupt. Therefore, surrender to Me and allow Me to purify you.

    Come deeper with Me and fix your eyes on Me whatever the circumstances, whatever the pain. When you do this I will move you into a steadfast place, where you are able to stand firm, despite the storms that surround you.

    From that place of steadfastness you will be able to cross into all I have prepared for you in the next season. I have prepared an upgrade that you cannot even dream or imagine. Trust Me, My child, I’ve got you and I will be with you all the way.

    Activation:

    Take time to stay in God’s presence and ask Holy Spirit to highlight what are the wounds you thought were healed, but in fact still need a divine healing balm. Once you’ve done that, ask Jesus to show you the burdens that you are unknowingly carrying from the previous season. As He allows you to see what these objects, situations or even people are, hand them over to Him. Then notice how you feel light because a weight has come off your shoulders. Thank the Lord and sense the new freedom as you see yourself walking with Him towards the next phase of your life.

    Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

    2 Timothy 2:21 (AMP)

    28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].

    29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.

    30 For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”

    Matthew 11:28-30 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Lion and The Lamb

    I am the Lion of Judah, I am the roaring Lion! I am the one who conquered death and destruction and I am stronger than anything that opposes you! There is nothing that is impossible for Me. I am in control of everything. I am absolutely trustworthy but My question to you is do you trust Me?

    I am the Lamb of God. I am the sacrificial Lamb. Surrender is on My heart. I was slaughtered and sacrificed. I became the weakest and meekest of all. I have given Myself fully and totally. I did not hold back anything, I became human and lived amongst you, poured out to death as a living sacrifice to save you and your beloved ones. Can you take that in? Do you understand the depth of My sacrificial love for you.

    No bigger contrasts are reunited in Me than being the Lion and the Lamb at the same time. I challenge you in your life to demonstrate Me in both! You can be a roaring Lion where My kingdom needs to be proclaimed.

    You can be the Lamb where your sacrifice is needed to advance My Kingdom. Do you follow Me? Are you ready to follow the footsteps of the Lion and be brave and unwavering to step out for My Kingdom cause? Are you ready to follow the footsteps of the Lamb and abandon yourself fully into My plans for the good of others?

    Activation:

    Take time to think about Jesus as the Lion of Judah and also Jesus the sacrificial Lamb. Meditate on the character of Jesus as the Lion and Jesus as the Lamb.

    Allow God to speak to you about the Lamb and Lion qualities He displays through you and the places He wants you to stand in His true authority or His submission and surrender more. Ask the Lord where He wants you to display the characteristics of the Lion and the Lamb and to help you display Him afresh in these areas.

    5 Then one of the [twenty-four] elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and [break] its seven seals.”

    6 And there [a]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and among the elders I saw a Lamb (Christ) standing, [bearing scars and wounds] as though it had been slain, with seven horns (complete power) and with seven eyes (complete knowledge), which are [b]the seven Spirits of God who have been sent [on duty] into all the earth.

    Revelation 5:5-6 (AMP)

    [a] Revelation 5:6 The Lamb is Jesus Christ, who stands “between,” in other words both as one with God upon the throne and as one with humanity around the throne.

    [b] Revelation 5:6 See note 1:4.

    7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
    Yet He did not open His mouth [to complain or defend Himself];
    Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    And like a sheep that is silent before her shearers,
    So He did not open His mouth.

    8 [a]After oppression and judgment He was taken away;
    And [b]as for His generation [His contemporaries], who [among them] concerned himself with the fact
    That He was cut off from the land of the living [by His death]
    For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke [of death] was due?

      Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Warning Light Is On

      The Spirit of the Lord says I am taking you into a space of healing and alignment to shift and change some things in your life. Like a car in need of maintenance, the warning lights are on and a breakdown will come if you don’t heed to My voice. I am calling you into the timings and seasons that I have for your life. I am asking you to submit your plans and your timings to Me for a fresh view. I am speaking a warning and I have turned on the warning lights as My kindness to you which leads you to repentance.

      There are some patterns, behaviours, and rhythms in your life that are not My plan for you.  The old structures can no longer stand and the old ways of functioning are no longer pleasing to Me. As I bring to mind what needs to shift and change, I am also releasing to you fresh timings, fresh identities and a refreshing in the spirit.

      Submit to Me the things that you have held in your hands for too long, the things that have become heavy and burdensome. If you choose to partner with Me in all I am asking I will release to you fresh revelation, strategies and solutions for the coming days.

      Activation:

      The Holy Spirit has brought to mind areas of your life that He wants to bring into order in this season. Spend some time submitting these areas to Him, He may ask you to repent, forgive or process with Him. Make time and take time to allow Him to access all areas with you and bring a refreshing to some of what He no longer wants you to function in or pour into in this season.

      Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

      Jeremiah 29:13 (AMP)

      Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?

      Romans 2:4 (AMP)

      Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Sons of God Arise

      The Spirit of the Lord says, “I am frustrated with the lack of authority demonstrated in My body. I have given you the keys to My Kingdom and I have given you the authority to rule and reign in this earth. However, you stand back and wait for Me to do the very things that I have empowered you by My Spirit to accomplish.

      The works that I have done, you must now do and greater works. Should you ask Me for the strategy on how to move? Yes. Should you ask Me for the timing to act? Certainly, but the ability to carry it out and demonstrate the Kingdom of God by signs and wonders is yours.

      Stretch out your hand in faith and by My Spirit I will accomplish the acts through you. Do not live as those who have a form of godliness but deny My power and ability to work through you. Do not live as those who reject the fullness of My Spirit and the fullness of My Kingdom. Do not live as those who are comfortable living only as children of God yet refuse to mature into Sons of God – My mature offspring.

      It’s time to grow up! When you entered My Kingdom, you were children, you spoke as children, you thought, understood and acted as children, however, now is time for you to put away childish things and arise as Sons. Do you hear, do you hear the earth groaning? Do you hear, do you hear the land crying out ‘Where are the Sons of God?’ Creation is groaning in anticipation waiting for you to appear on the scene, waiting for you to arise.”

      Activation:

      This is a strong call to spiritual maturity and the demonstration of Kingdom authority by the Father. It’s now time to take what the Lord has said and make it into a personal declaration while engaging with creation: Take a walk outside, intentionally listening to nature and sensing the groaning of creation. As you walk, pray aloud and declare, “I arise as a mature son/daughter of God. Creation, here I am! I step into my calling to bring Kingdom impact. I walk in the fullness of my identity as a mature son/daughter of God. The works that Jesus Christ did, I now do and greater.” Let this activation stir an urgency to partner with God in manifesting His Kingdom on earth

      When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

      1 Corinthians 13:11 (AMP)

      I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.

      John 14:12 (AMP)

      Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Abound in Grace

      My child, I know, it’s been a period of growth and battle. While I have been refining you on the inside so that you could shine even more on the outside, distractions from the kingdom of darkness have felt heavier than they actually were, since you were attempting to focus on your calling as well. A lying spirit in the meantime whispered that you were not moving enough and not achieving enough for my Kingdom, telling you that you were going backwards. Well done for not falling into that deceptive trap.

      Now, however, you feel like wanting a rest and laying down arms. For this reason, I say to you: not yet. Which doesn’t mean you cannot slow down, but this is a time to pick up new weapons. They will be the gentle, yet fiery ones of worship (behind closed doors as you come to Me and “recharge your batteries”) and loving grace.

      Yes, My beloved. As chaos and disputes, rage and violence unfold in the world, I want you to follow My steps and go with the opposite spirit. As I am compassionate and gracious, I need you to be the same and change atmospheres wherever I send you. Be profusely generous and spread My grace to those who don’t know Me and have fallen short of My glory. By grace forgive the unforgivable, extend My love to the unlovable and have mercy on the resentful. Set the pace of the Kingdom as you are led by My Spirit and I will restore and strengthen you like never before.

      Activation:

      Take time in God’s presence to worship Him, whatever that means for you. It could be dancing, singing, painting, writing or declaiming His Word back to Him. Just focus on Him and Him alone. As you do, lay any burden or concern at His feet and sense the shift in the spirit as the Lord lifts any weight off of you.

      Then ask for His blueprint for the day. Where and to whom is He directing you to lavish people with His grace? You can repeat this as needed during the week and beyond.

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

      Psalm 103:8 (AMP)

      23 since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God,

      24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [a]grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,

      Romans 3:23-24 (AMP)

      But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious, undeserved] grace [which makes us free of the guilt of sin and grants us eternal life].

      Acts 20:24 (AMP)

      Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Transition, Fruitfulness and Harvest

      Look around you and observe the timings of the seasons. If it feels like the rhythms of these seasons have accelerated, you are not mistaken. Things are indeed moving faster as I work to shift and realign them according to My new timings. And as I establish and restore My original plans, you will see that what once existed may no longer be present. One moment it’s visible and the next it’s gone. You will also see that where there was once nothing, seemingly overnight, a new form has not only emerged but is exceedingly productive.

      There is violent launching and an intense growth that is unfolding before your eyes in accelerated time. What began as a small bud has quickly developed and matured. You are experiencing a time similar to when Aaron’s rod budded, blossomed, and produced fruit overnight. The seasons are overlapping, occurring swiftly and seemingly at the same time – marked by transition, fruitfulness, and harvest.

      The earth is also responding to My movements, as gardens and trees are producing fruit earlier than usual and with increased frequency. This change is occurring not only within structures and institutions but also at the individual level, as I reposition people, roles, and mantles for My purposes.

      This rapid acceleration of the seasons requires you to be in a constant state of readiness as you quickly navigate through transition, fruitfulness and harvest seasons. The challenges you faced in the past seasons were meant to prepare you for the present so that you are equipped to move with Me. Now is not the time to back away or retreat. Keep your focus as you maintain a lifestyle of “oneness” with Me, which will keep you sharp, ready to move and able to keep up.

      Activation:

      In this prophetic word, the Lord calls for a constant state of readiness. For one week, begin each day by asking, “Lord, how would You have me move today?” Be attentive to unexpected assignments—whether speaking a word of encouragement, responding swiftly to an opportunity, or embracing a new task. Be willing to pivot with the Lord.

      Document how God uses this exercise to sharpen your ability to navigate acceleration.

      Then, decree: “Lord, I am aligned with Your movements in the earth. My life bears fruit in accelerated time according to Your will.”

      6 So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a rod, one for each leader according to their fathers’ households, twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

      7 So Moses deposited the rods before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony (tabernacle).

      8 Now on the next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony, and [a]the rod of Aaron of the tribe of Levi had sprouted and put out buds and produced blossoms and yielded [ripe] almonds.

      Numbers 17:6-8 (AMP)

      Footnotes
      [a] Numbers 17:8 Once again God confirmed before the people His choice of Aaron as high priest and the significance of the tribe of Levi.

      “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,
      “When the plowman shall overtake the one who gathers the harvest,
      And the one who treads the grapes [shall overtake] him who sows the seed [for the harvest continues until planting time];
      When the mountains will drip sweet wine
      And all the hills shall melt [that is, everything that was once barren will overflow with streams of blessing].

      Amos 9:13 (AMP)
