Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Wake Up Caleb (Part 4)

Know no limitations. Stir up the zeal that I have placed within you. Do not make agreements with any voices of hopelessness or defeat. You are strong because My strength is in you to accomplish what I have called you to do, and I will see it finished.

Age, circumstances or defilement does not diminish you. My Spirit is in you! The atmosphere of fear and intimidation has no effect on you. Because you have not wandered away and you have kept your focus on Me, your overcoming spirit is stronger than it has ever been.

Let My spirit in you arise to lead your body, mind and emotions into a holy wholeness, and magnified sense of wellness. This is not a time to fear the giants of the land but to be the terror that sends them fleeing.

Activation:

1. Examine your habits.  Be vigilant about your body.  Find a balance or rest, exercise and good nutrition.  Your body needs proper nourishment and physical strength that is your responsibility to enforce and maintain.  Value times of rest as much as activity.  Set goals and follow a plan.

2. Strategize. Plan times to pray, reflect and ask the Lord for His strategy for the situations He has determined for you to war over.  Know your specific territory and keep your intercession boundaried by His wisdom and guidance.  He is the Man of war that you must look to for your assignment.  Take care so that you will know what to walk into and what to walk away from.

3. Declare Daily. Speak scriptures out loud to strengthen your spirit and mind (I have the mind of Christ… The enemy is under my feet…. I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind…I am established, anointed and seated by God…. I am God’s temple…God has prepared my hands for war and my fingers for battle)

10 And now, look, the LORD has let me live, just as He said, these forty-five years since the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, [a]look at me, I am eighty-five years old today.

11 I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so is my strength now, for war and for going out and coming in.

12 So now, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke that day, for you heard on that day that the [giant-like] Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the LORD said.”

Joshua 14:10-12 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Wake Up Caleb (Part 2)

The Spirit of the Lord says, “Examine where you have walked with Me in the past and be vigilant in examining your spiritual inheritances. For all of My promises are true and are passed by My faithfulness from generation to generation. What you inherit by My spirit may contrast with what you may have inherited in the natural. I am a God of the generations and when you allow Me to be your inheritance, then I can overcome all that hinders your advancement.

I require a pure and spotless bride. Follow Me completely with your whole life in My hands. For when you inherit My promise of oneness, you are enabled to walk boldly overland and spiritual territory that I have meant for you to acquire with new confidence.Step out, for I am giving you a new anointing to reclaim anything that was lost to be found again and to bring dead things back to life.

Everything in you must be given back to Me, your Creator, for the perfection I need. Be one who is unblemished and without worldly corruption in thoughts, words or actions. No more procrastination or shrinking back. Walk in your authority that I have given you.

You know the priceless cost My son paid on the cross for you and I know the cost you will pay to be wholly Mine. Do not deviate, so that the legacy of love and obedience you leave behind can be strong and established for those that follow after you. Walk with Me in wholeness and enter into your spiritual inheritance. It is worth it!

Activation:

Sit quietly and ask the Lord to reveal the journey of your life to you. Ask Him to show you any paths you have taken that were not ordained by Him. When He makes these revelations, repent for those missteps. Pray for His guidance and help to become fully alive to His Spirit, with renewed  mind and cleansed heart. Make a commitment in your heart to be obedient to the path He wants you to follow. Walk with Him in bold authority, trusting that the new direction He is opening for you will lead to a progression from glory to glory, as He has not given you a spirit of timidity. Stand firm in knowing that you have been chosen and appointed to bear much fruit.

So Moses swore [an oath to me] on that day, saying, ‘Be assured that the land on which your foot has walked will be an inheritance to you and to your children always, because you have followed the LORD my God completely.’

Joshua 14:9 (AMPC)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Wake Up Caleb (Part 1)

The Spirit of the Lord says, “I call you to remember who I AM and what I have already shown you and done for you. Go boldly just as Caleb did when he went to Joshua and reminded him of something long forgotten during the years of wandering caused by the unbelief in My great promise.

Remember who I am, for I have made tremendous promises over your life that you have yet to realize. I am ready to take you to the places of great fulfillment for My Kingdom. Do not shrink back or think of yourself as unworthy. Be bold and courageous because you have already seen how I will overcome the giants and give you abundant provision.

Just as Caleb did, you held fast to the promise and did not doubt when others did not have the heart to believe. Resisting impatience, you have remained steadfast in obedience, aiming to adhere to My words and instructions.

There are those that you have previously walked with who did not have the vision that I placed before them, but you continued to seek Me and trust Me to fulfill everything that I have called you to accomplish.

Stay alert in the spirit and purify your perceptions knowing what is possible with Me while asking with humility and reverence.”

Activation:

Take some time to sit with God and ask Him to remind you of your promised land, even if it has been forgotten for a long time. Renew your belief that He can do far more than we ask or imagine and repent for any time you’ve wandered away from Him and His Kingdom’s agenda. Ask Him to renew your vision and to increase your faith and patience, so you can persevere while believing in the greatness of His promises. Lastly, thank Him for placing the victory of your promised land in your heart.

6 Then the [tribe of the] sons of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadesh-barnea.

7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to scout the land [of Canaan], and I brought a report back to him as it was in my heart.

8 My brothers (fellow spies) who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the Lord my God completely.

Joshua 14:6-8 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Eyes Up

My child, look up! Lift your eyes and seek Me. It is time to stop focusing on your problems and start looking at Me. Am I not greater than your circumstances? Am I not the God of the impossible? When situations seem overwhelming and out of control, look up and see Me.

I ask you, what keeps you from staying focused on Me? What pulls you away? Don’t you know that I am the God who knows all things? Nothing takes Me by surprise. So, lift your eyes to Me and recognize that I have the answers. I can do abundantly more than you can even imagine. My Kingdom is limitless, and I can and will supply all your needs; however, you must keep your focus on Me.

Stay focused on Me and do not let the enemy or your emotions keep your head down. Refocus and keep your gaze on Me. Speak boldly about what I say regarding you and who I created you to be. It’s time to dream again, but this time I want you to dream with Me. Are you ready?

I want you to know that you are My desire and My delight. I rejoice over you with singing, and My banner over you is love. I keep you in My secret place because I long to be known by you. I want to assure you of My presence in your life and that I will never leave you nor forsake you. When things look difficult or you feel pressed from every side, refocus and fix your eyes on Me again. It’s time for you to come and behold all that I am.

Activation:

Take some time to meditate on 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 and 18. Ask the Lord where you need to refocus your attention. Whenever you find your focus shifting to negativity, circumstances, or problems, say out loud to yourself, “Eyes up, eyes up!” and remind yourself of these scriptures.

8 We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair;

9 hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (AMP)

So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.

2 Corinthians 4:18 (AMP)

[looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, [a]disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].

Hebrews 12:2 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Hebrews 12:2 Sometimes the public shame of the cross is overlooked when one thinks of the pain and agony inflicted by it, but in the Roman Empire crucifixion was a shameful and disgraceful way to die, a form of capital punishment from which Roman citizens were exempt; and in Roman comedy it was used in a curse: “Go to a bad cross!”

    Tribute to Caesar

    15 Then the Pharisees went and conspired together plotting how to trap Him by [distorting] what He said.

    16 They sent their disciples to Him, along with the [a]Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are sincere and that You teach the way of God truthfully, without concerning Yourself about [what] anyone [thinks or says of Your teachings]; for You are impartial and do not seek anyone’s favor [and You treat all people alike, regardless of status].

    17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it permissible [according to Jewish law and tradition] to pay a [b]poll-tax to Caesar, or not?”

    18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

    19 Show me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius [a day’s wage].

    20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”

    21 They said, “[[c]The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”

    22 When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away.

    Matthew 22:15-22 (AMP)

    Footnotes

    [a] Matthew 22:16 A Jewish political party loyal to Herod. The Pharisees, who strongly opposed Herod and Roman rule, and the Herodians, who were strong allies of Herod and Rome, set aside their political differences in order to conspire together against Jesus.
    [b] Matthew 22:17 Every Jew was required to pay the poll-tax. It was considered a sign of subservience to Rome.
    [c] Matthew 22:21 Tiberius Caesar came to the throne after the death of his stepfather, Augustus, in a.d. 14 and ruled the Roman Empire until his death in a.d. 37. He was a brilliant military general, but an incompetent, irresponsible ruler. Most biblical references to “Caesar” refer to Tiberius.

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Flagging You Down

    The Lord says, “STOP! Can you see the red flags I am waving to get your attention? It is time to stop. Don’t just keep doing what you’re doing.  You may have noticed that what may have been easy for you up to this point has now become a struggle, and so I’m now requiring you to check in with Me to check the status of what you’ve put your hands to. This could relate to your professional life, church life, finances, family, or education.

    The season is changing, and I am doing something new. I am taking you off the well-worn path and leading you onto an untrodden track. You are a groundbreaker in this season, and you will prepare a new path for others. This path is the answer to the deep cries of your heart. You have recognized a need, and now I am releasing you to take action. But this will require a shift in your perspective and a change of focus – a more deliberate focus on Me.

    Come and walk with Me with your eyes fixed on Me as we walk together on this new path that I have prepared for us. When we reach a crossroads, wait on Me to see which direction I will take, and be ready to follow Me. This waiting may feel like a waste of time at first, but I never waste time. In the waiting, I am preparing, resourcing, equipping, and teaching you so that like the wise virgins, you will be ready, equipped, and prepared. Keep looking and watching so that when I appear, you will be ready to follow Me.

    Activation:

    Each morning for the next seven days, present the upcoming day to God and ask Him about His agenda for you. Inquire about the next steps He wants you to take and what His expectations are for you. Do you need to surrender something or take a step forward?

    Invite Jesus to direct your steps, conversations, and thoughts, and to rearrange your diary according to His plans. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you recognize His opportunities each day and to give you the boldness and courage to step out with Him, hand in hand.

    8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.

    9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
    Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
    Otherwise they will not come near to you.

    Psalm 32:8-9 (AMP)

    But while they were going away to buy oil, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut and locked.

    Matthew 25:10 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Hidden to Release (Part Two)

    He has made My mouth like a sharp sword,
    In the shadow of His hand He has kept Me hidden;
    And He has made Me a sharpened arrow,
    In His quiver He has hidden Me.

    Isaiah 49:2 (AMP)

    Mighty warrior it is time to leave the hiddenness. Come and line up with Me for what I want to do next. I am asking you to let go of some of the things you have become comfortable in. This is a season of exposure. It is time to step forward into the light and embrace that position in faith.

    Allow Me to show you where control has disguised itself as security. As an arrow yield’s to the hands of the archer so I long for you to be in My hands. Control will prevent you from being fired, it will take you off course, it will slow you down. But in yieldedness you will have power, strength, focus, and freedom.

    Let Me show you who you are in the Spirit. Take a moment and look!  Let Me show you the arrow I have polished. See as I remove you from the quiver ready to be fired.

    Activation:

    Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you any areas where you are holding onto control. Agree with Him that this will not protect you. Repent of partnering with the spirit of control and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into yieldedness. Spend some time lingering in His presence allowing Him to remove the desire for control and replace this with greater trust in Him.

    May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

    Romans 15:13 (AMP)

    19 Therefore, thus says the LORD [to Jeremiah],
    “If you repent [and give up this mistaken attitude of despair and self-pity], then I will restore you [to a state of inner peace]
    So that you may stand before Me [as My obedient representative];
    And if you separate the precious from the worthless [examining yourself and cleansing your heart from unwarranted doubt concerning My faithfulness],
    You will become My spokesman.
    Let the people turn to you [and learn to value My values]—
    But you, you must not turn to them [with regard for their idolatry and wickedness].

    20 “And I will make you to this people
    A fortified wall of bronze;
    They will fight against you,
    But they will not prevail over you,
    For I am with you [always] to save you
    And [a]protect you,” says the LORD.

    Jeremiah 15:19-20 (AMP)

    Footnotes

    [a] Jeremiah 15:20 Lit deliver.

      13 So prepare your minds for action, be completely sober [in spirit—steadfast, self-disciplined, spiritually and morally alert], fix your hope completely on the grace [of God] that is coming to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

      14 [Live] as obedient children [of God]; do not be conformed to the evil desires which governed you in your ignorance [before you knew the requirements and transforming power of the good news regarding salvation].

      15 But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage];

      16 because it is written, “You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy.”

      1 Peter 1:13-16 (AMP)
