If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – White Noise

The Sovereign Lord says: “Do not allow yourself to lose focus and become distracted by the noise around you. Stop listening to white noise, for it blocks out My voice! When you focus on the noise around you can end up following something else you have heard or seen that is not from Me. Such a focus weakens your spiritual attention and your ability to connect with Holy Spirit will grow patchy. Do not allow the white noise to cause your mission to be blurred, your effectiveness as My prophet to be compromised, or your growth towards fullness to be stunted.

Don’t even consider listening to whispers which question your calling because you have become codependent on such seductive intrusions. Trust in such constant commotion is misplaced. Since when did you set aside My still small voice of revelation?” says the Lord.

“As I spoke through the voice of the prophet Malachi, I say to you: ‘Return to Me and I will return to you’. Cast aside worthless messages which the world so loves and which the enemy is so eager to have you consume. Tune them out and tune back into the sound of My voice. I have so much to tell you – but I need you to listen.”

Activation:

As Jesus would withdraw to a solitary place to be with His Father, set aside some time in the day to be alone in a quiet environment with God. Use scripture like noise-cancelling headphones – listen to an audio translation rather than turning on background noise. Or repeat a favourite Bible verse over and over in your head or under your breath to gain the focus you need to move into a place where you can reconnect with the Lord and quiet the other voices that seek to pull you away.

Turn off all devices. Come just as you are before the Lord – without any agenda or need for blessing or help or support. In stillness, turn off the white noise. And listen…

“Yet from the days of your fathers you have turned away from My statutes and ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’

Malachi 3:7 (AMP)

20 My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn;
Open your ears to my sayings.

21 Do not let them escape from your sight;
Keep them in the center of your heart.

22 For they are life to those who find them,
And healing and health to all their flesh.

Proverbs 4:20-22 (AMP)

18 And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

19 but the worries and cares of the world [the distractions of this age with its worldly pleasures], and the deceitfulness [and the false security or glamour] of wealth [or fame], and the passionate desires for all the other things creep in and choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20 And those [in the last group] are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word [of God, the good news regarding the way of salvation] and accept it and bear fruit—thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much [as was sown].”

Mark 4:18-20 (AMP)

Lion Bites  – Global Prophetic Alliance – In God’s Favour

The Spirit of the Lord says: I will not allow anyone who honours Me with their lips but not in their heart to receive glory and accolades. They looked for approval from others and have received their desire. In doing so, they proved they did not value the blessing I would have given them.

If you seek My face, I will strengthen you and protect you from disgrace. I will uphold your integrity so that even the enemy cannot bring a charge against you.

Your dedication to My presence brings Me joy, and I will sustain you even when My calling upon your life feels heavy. Others may question or challenge what I have spoken to you, but remain steadfast – I am refining you for My purpose which will bring glory to Me.

Activation:

God is calling you to a deeper level of intimacy and devotion, where His favor rests on those who genuinely seek Him. This is an invitation to examine your heart; are you pursuing His presence or the approval of others?

Commit to spending intentional time with God, not just in words but in action. Prioritize worship, prayer, and studying His Word. When challenges arise or when others question what God has spoken to you, stand firm. His hand upon you may feel weighty at times, but trust that He is refining you, not abandoning you.

Ask God to reveal any areas where you have sought recognition from people rather than from Him. Repent where needed and embrace His presence as your greatest reward. As you remain steadfast, He will strengthen you, keep you from scandal, and make your life a testimony of His favor.

Practical Steps to Apply:

1. Deepen Your Time with God: Set aside dedicated time for worship and prayer, seeking Him above all else

2. Guard Your Integrity: Live in such a way that accusations cannot stand against you

3. Reject the Need for Human Approval: Let God’s delight in you be enough, rather than striving for validation from others

4. Stand Firm in What God Has Spoken: When doubts arise, remind yourself of His promises

5. Endure the Refining Process: Trust that any difficulties you face are shaping you into who He has called you to be

This is a season of separation and refining; embrace it, knowing that His favor and strength will sustain you.

It shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose will bud, and I will no longer hear the constant grumblings of the Israelites, who are grumbling against you.”

Numbers 17:5 (AMP)

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 5:12 (AMP)

Lion Bites  – Global Prophetic Alliance – Higher and Wider

The Spirit of the Lord says:

I am calling you higher. I am calling you to fly like an eagle above your circumstances. Do not let earthly matters entangle you and stop you from rising up high to discern what is really happening in the spirit. This is a time of pushing through; soar and open your wings higher and wider to reach that place where I can reveal to you what is happening in your region and in the nations.

Do not let daily burdens distract you from where I am taking you. Do not allow the enemy to whisper in your ear that what you are facing has no solution, or that you don’t have enough authority to win your battle. As you come up higher, the earthly noise and chaos will fall away – and you will receive clarity of vision and revelation.

As you look up to Me, as you rest in Me; you must also start preparing. Anoint your weapons and feel My power rise within you. Is not the spirit who dwells in you the same who raised Jesus from the dead? Stand firm and you will see that just your presence will scare the enemy’s minions away. For time in My presence strengthens your defences and releases your ability to stand under pressure.

Activation:

Spend time in worship magnifying God and His greatness. Then hand over to the Lord any worries or battles you may be facing. Make the conscious decision to rise above these things, to stretch out wider – to go higher, above the chaos of the world.

As you breathe in His shalom peace and breathe out any anxiety, listen to what Holy Spirit is revealing to you about your nation and land. Ask Him how you should be preparing; in what areas are you to anoint your weapons and to stand.

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him]
Will gain new strength and renew their power;
They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
They will walk and not grow tired

Isaiah 40:31 (AMP)

So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.

James 4:7 (AMP)

They set the table [for the doomed banquet], they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink;
“Rise up, captains [of Belshazzar’s court], oil your shields [for battle, for your enemy is at the gates]!”

Isaiah 21:5 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Invitation

Would you let Me break your heart for the things that break mine? Would you allow Me to shift your focus from yourself so that I can reveal to you the emotions of My heart? Let Me show you what I am interceding for right now as I look upon the earth.

I feel the physical battles of those fighting cancer and other illnesses. I sense the anguish of displaced families and the worries of parents desperately trying to provide safety, shelter and food for their children. I feel the sorrow of those grieving the loss of loved ones. I witness the devastation of those whose lives have been ripped apart by war—lost homes, stolen futures, and every possession taken from them. I see the hopelessness and despair that grips many people, disillusioned by their governments. I sense the anger and hate of those persecuted because of their ethnicity, gender or faith.

I feel the deep despair of people struggling with their mental health. I see those chasing fleeting worldly ambitions, unaware that they are in deep spiritual bondage. I see how the enemy deceives so many.

I died for every one of them and I love them all. My heart aches for them to come and to run to Me. I am everything they seek and chase after.

Will you stand in the gap for them? Will you intercede on their behalf? Will you let My burden become yours? In shifting your focus, you will discover that joy will fill your heart, My presence will surround you and you will be strengthened with renewed hope. I know your needs, My child, and I have promised to take care of them. Today, I ask you to feel what I feel, to allow your heart to be moved by My emotions for others, and to work with me to see My Kingdom come.

Activation:

In your quiet place ask Jesus what is on His heart as He looks at the world. Ask Holy Spirit to lift any hardness or numbness from you. Allow yourself to feel His emotions. Who is He calling you to stand in the gap for and intercede on behalf of? Maybe it’s a sick neighbour, refugees in your city, or a certain people group or nation. Ask Him to give you specific prayer points for that person, people group, region, or generation. Let your heart be moved and filled with His deep compassion and love. Pray from that place, with deep groans of your spirit, as you bring it all before Him.

Therefore He is able also to save forever (completely, perfectly, for eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede and intervene on their behalf [with God].

Hebrews 7:25 (AMP)

A Call to Prayer

1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, 

2 for [a]kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 

3 This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 

4 who [b]wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth. 

5 For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus,

1 Timothy 2:1-5 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Leadership Restored

The Lord says, “I alone am God, and I judge the heart motivation and actions of men in positions of leadership and responsibility, in all walks of life.  I will hold to account those with prideful agendas and narratives who defile many and exalt themselves above knowing Me as the One True God. I need My people to pray with purity of heart for all leaders, as My judgement is always to refine, redeem and restore.

Just as I gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream in which a tall and strong tree represented the apparent strength and success of his life, he was left in no doubt that I would not tolerate his pride, “Chop down the tree, lop off its branches, strip its leaves and scatter its fruit. (Daniel 4:13 MSG).

In the same dream, the roots and stump remained as a sign of My heart to restore his life so that he would live as one submitted to Me. Likewise, pray for those in positions of power, that they would choose to repent and humble themselves before Me, whilst there is still time. 

The world has lost faith in its leadership and is desperate to see heaven’s standard of governance that renews trust and creates an atmosphere of hope in these turbulent days. I am purging leadership across the nations to make space for My Bride to govern with purity, humility and an identity that’s secure

Therefore posture yourself with humility before Me. Lay yourself down as My people who are seeking to advance My Kingdom upon the earth, and declare that it is My will that is to be done upon your land.”

Activation:

Take time to pray for the leaders in your church, community and nation. Ask Holy Spirit for revelation about who to pray for specifically – which people, organisations, governments or nations. Ask that He would lead you in accurate, weighty and significant intercession, and declare that His Kingdom come over all those people and situations in the name of Jesus.

26 And in that it was commanded to leave the stump with the roots of the tree [in the earth], your kingdom shall be restored to you after you recognize (understand fully) that Heaven rules.

27 Therefore, O king, let my advice to you be [considered and found] acceptable; break away now from your sins and exhibit your repentance by doing what is right, and from your wickedness by showing mercy to the poor, so that [if you repent] there may possibly be a continuance of your prosperity and tranquility and a healing of your error.’

Daniel 4:26-27 (AMP)

10 A divine decision [given by God] is on the lips of the king [as His representative];
His mouth should not be unfaithful or unjust in judgment.

11 A just balance and [honest] scales are the LORD’s;
All the weights of the bag are His concern [established by His eternal principles].

12 It is repulsive [to God and man] for kings to behave wickedly,
For a throne is established on righteousness (right standing with God).

13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And he who speaks right is loved.

Proverbs 16:10–13 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Guard Your Heart

The Lord says “Guard your heart against the deception of idolatry. This may not come in the obvious fashion of idols formed by the hands of man, made of wood and stone, that do not see, nor eat, nor smell. I speak of the things, even seemingly good things, that take priority in your heart over Me. I have said to seek Me first and My ways above all else and then My Kingdom will be added to you.

So, I ask, why then do you seek other voices before you seek mine? Why do you search out the counsel or opinions of others before approaching Me? I have said that when you open your mouth, I will fill it, meaning that if you ask, I will respond.

So, ask Me and keep asking. Seek Me and keep seeking. Seek Me first and at all hours of the day. When you rise in the morning, throughout the course of your day and in the night hours before you close your eyes and sleep overtakes you. Come to Me for the wisdom and understanding that you require and that only I can provide, and learn what I have to say about the matters of your life, no matter how big or small.”

Activation:

Proverbs 2:6 states that all wisdom and understanding comes from God, so with that in mind, we should re-evaluate the sources of counsel in our lives and prioritise seeking God first. With the help of Holy Spirit, take time to honestly assess the following:

Whose voice do you magnify as the voice of authority in your life to determine the direction of your day?

When things are out of order in your life, who and what do you seek first to bring them into order and whose plan do you follow?

These questions are just a starting point. Pay attention to other scenarios the Holy Spirit brings to mind. When that happens, repent and commit to prioritise God’s voice as the primary source of counsel

For the Lord gives [skillful and godly] wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:6 (AMP)

7 “You called in [the time of] trouble and I rescued you;
I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

8 “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you—
O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

9 “Let there be no strange god among you,
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

10 “I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Psalm 81:7-10 (AMP)

Prayer and the Golden Rule

7 “[a]Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.

Matthew 7:7-8 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Matthew 7:7 Here the use of Greek present imperatives (asking, seeking, knocking; vv 7, 8) emphasizes persistent, constant prayer.
