Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Now Is The Time

The Spirit of the Lord says:

“This is the year, now is the time! Many in the Body of Christ have contended for prophetic words and promises which have yet to come to pass.  I celebrate your faithfulness in warring over these words and remaining hope filled.  In this season I am releasing favour, opening doors and bringing alignment in Kingdom relationships. Now is the time when many of these words will bear fruit and fulfilment is coming.

I need My people to be ready to move and, in some cases, quickly. Bring before me those promises and words which still have life, also your dreams and visions and allow me to breathe afresh upon them to ignite hope, re-fire you and release a momentum for the days ahead. Deal with any disappointment or discouragement in order that you have stability of heart to steward well all that I plan to release. Let a fresh infilling of my Spirit propel you into my plan and purpose for this year as I desire to advance and promote.

The intense time of preparation is over. You are not defined by lack or fear. You will need courage this year but know that I have equipped you and you are ready to receive the increase.”

Activation:

Spend time in the Lord’s presence and bring before Him your prophetic words, promises and dreams. As you sit with Him, notice which words fill your heart with faith and expectation. Write out an overview of what you are believing for this year and ask the Lord for the next steps or blueprints.  Come back to it regularly over the days and weeks ahead.

1 As God’s partners,[a] we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it.

2 For God says,

“At just the right time, I heard you.
    On the day of salvation, I helped you.”[b]

Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 (NLT)

Footnotes
[a] 6:1 Or As we work together.
[b] 6:2 Isa 49:8 (Greek version).

18 “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME (the Messiah),
BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO ANNOUNCE RELEASE (pardon, forgiveness) TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy),

19 TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD [the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly].”

20 Then He rolled up the scroll [having stopped in the middle of the verse], gave it back to the attendant and sat down [to teach]; and the eyes of all those in the synagogue were [attentively] fixed on Him.

21 He began speaking to them: “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence.”

Luke 4:18-21 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance  – Time Changers


“My people, you are faced with the timing of this world, with this world’s clock that turns according to this world’s agenda.

And I see some of you who have come under it, submitted to it, as if ruled by it, because you have thought you had to accept this.

Not so, My people.

And I see some of you who have stepped outside of it, disengaging with it and no longer participating and being fully active in this time.

Not so either, My people.

For this is My time, in which I have sent you.

This is the war of the clocks. My clock against this world’s clock.

It’s timings and My timings.

And I know it has been such an exhausting fight.

But again I am calling you. Stand up! And come back today, now!

For I am calling you to walk on this world’s time and to set My time instead.

I call you to place your feet over it, as if you were walking on its clock.

Walk on it!

Step over it!

Leave your mark on it!

Push the clock hands and resist them by your standing.

It is time for you to resist time, to push it, to stop it.

It is time for you to rule over the time and to change it.

Yes, I am calling you Time Changers,

For I want you to bring My rule, My will, My Kingdom over this world’s time and to not give up, but win the time !

Application:

Ask Holy Spirit to reveal any area where you are out of time with Him. If you have been out of time, isolated and detached, disengaged from it; if you have refused to interact and be fully present and active in this time; if you have been laying under this time, passively ruled by the rulers and events of this time.

Confess and acknowledge it before God in truth out of the fullness of your being. Repent for disengaging with His will for you, in this time, for not being alert and standing.

Confess also your reasons, what caused you to disengage. Ask God to heal your wounds, to fill you with new faith, vision and hope where you had given up. Now see His hand reaching to you, take it, allow it to lift you up.

Ask Holy Spirit how He wants you to partner with His timing differently.

And now stand up you time changer, decree God’s will, resisting the current time flow, and push God’s will and His timing on earth. Hold your ground, and continue decreeing God’s timing in the following days.

Example: I decree today it is not a day of loss. No, today is the day of salvation, the day of God’s favor. Today is the day God saves!

15 Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people],

16 [a]making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil.

17 Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.

18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him.

Ephesians 5:15-18 (AMP)

Footnotes
[a] Ephesians 5:16 The Greek word in this verse means “buy up at the market place.” Opportunity is regarded as a commodity to be used by believers.

Their Ministry Commended

Working together with Him, we strongly urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain [by turning away from sound doctrine and His merciful kindness].

2 For He says,

“AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME (the time of grace) I LISTENED TO YOU,
AND I HELPED YOU ON THE DAY OF SALVATION.”

Behold, now is “THE ACCEPTABLE TIME,” behold, now is “THE DAY OF SALVATION”—

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 (AMP)

Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].

Ephesians 6:13 (AMPC)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Position Yourself (Part 2)

Yesterday, I required of you to take a position of surrender. Today, I am calling you to recognise the spiritual standing in which I have purposefully positioned you. Having released that which was holding you back, I now ask you to understand the spiritual position that I have given you. You may look around you and see that there are some worldly things that have not yet changed – they look the same as they did yesterday. But you are viewing them with earthly eyes. I am calling you to view them as they are in the spirit – do you not have the victory through Jesus who has overcome?

My child, you must become aware of the spiritual weight and authority that is yours through Jesus – your prayers and declarations should come from a place of victory, not of request. Settle your spirit with Mine, ensure you are aligned with My purposes – and speak with authority to that which you need to overcome.

Position yourself in spiritual authority, speak out of a place of victory, and call into order the earthly chaos that surrounds you. Your words, when aligned with my Spirit – in the purpose of my Kingdom, have the power to shift, to break through and to build.

Activation:

Position yourself in a standing posture, if you are able. Position yourself in a strong and ready stance. Recall the situations from yesterday; dreams not realised, debts not paid, family not reconciled, calling not recognised. Examine your heart honestly, and let go of the things that are not on God’s heart for you – that were born out of selfish ambition. Ask Holy Spirit to show you the areas upon which you need to stand and overcome. Stand firm in your body, and in your spirit – you have been positioned by God purposefully, to overcome that which is for His Kingdom. Declare aloud that you have victory through Jesus, and that you call into order that which is causing chaos. Stand firm in the spiritual authority you have to call situations (name yours aloud) into the alignment of God’s will and purposes in your life.

3 For the [true] love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts. And His commandments and His precepts are not difficult [to obey]. 

4 For [a]everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered  and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].

5 Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God.

1 John 5:3-5 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] 1 John 5:4 Lit everything that is. John uses the Greek neuter to underscore the fact that everyone who has been born again, regardless of gender or age, is victorious over the world.

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].

Romans 8:37 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Position Yourself (Part 1)

When you look at your life, I know that there are areas that you feel unfulfilled; dreams not realised, debts not paid, family not reconciled, calling not recognised. You have found uncertainty and doubt creeping in – you want to trust Me, but it feels like things aren’t changing.

You lift your hands in worship, but a part of your heart feels stuck and full of sorrow. You speak My name through tears that you won’t let fall. You counsel others while feeling lost yourself. Dear one, know that I love you too much to allow you to continue to walk in anything other than My fullness. In order to move forward, you must first acknowledge that your spirit will always need My Spirit – the very nature of your humanity is that you are spiritually bankrupt without the inheritance that is yours through Jesus Christ.

Position yourself in surrender. Allow My Spirit to move through the parts of you that have felt stuck, sorrowful and lost – open yourself to Me in ways that you never have before. Know that in your humanity, as you recognise Jesus’ sacrifice over ALL that binds you, you are released into the victory of My Kingdom in all its fullness.

Activation:

Position yourself in a posture of surrender – on your knees if you are able. Take some deep breaths, and allow Holy Spirit to bring to mind the areas of your life that you have found difficult to release to Him so far. Recognise that Jesus’ death frees you from all sense of unfulfillment – you are released into the victory of the Kingdom, and into the fullness of life. Ask Jesus to restore to you the joy of your salvation – as you release sorrow; receive joy.

6 Behold, You desire truth in the [a]innermost being,
And in secret You will make wisdom known to me.

7 [b]Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
[c]Cleanse me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 [d]Let me hear joy and gladness,
Let the bones You have broken rejoice.

9 Hide Your face from my sins
And wipe out all my guilty deeds.

10 Create [e]in me a clean heart, God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And sustain me with a willing spirit.

Footnotes

[a] Matthew 3:7 The Pharisees identified with the common people and had control over them. They were prominent legalistic leaders in Judaism who were experts in Mosaic Law and its rituals and traditions. They believed in the resurrection of the dead, immortality of the soul and in the existence of angels and spirits.

[b] Matthew 3:7 The Sadducees were aristocratic members of a priestly group (religious party) who controlled the temple. They denied the possibility of a resurrection and the existence of any spiritual beings apart from God. Although the Sadducees were in the minority, they were leaders of the Sanhedrin, controlling the Jewish High Court.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A New Day

The Sovereign Lord says: “Long have I sustained you through the darkness of night and brought you safe to morning’s first light. As you have slept, I have not been idle, for I watched over you. I exchanged rest for your weariness and washed your wounds with tears of love. I stilled your anxious heart with whispers of peace. I thwarted your enemies’ strategies to undermine and frustrate you. I put in place the words and the deeds which will be your tomorrow. And I prepared a bountiful sunrise to herald your waking.”

“Yet even in sleep or time of rest, there is so much more. I delight with those who seek me in the small hours; whose eyes remain vigilant through the watches of the night; whose ears hear My words of wise counsel; whose subconscious minds meditate on My promises; whose imaginations are receptive to My dreams of revelation; whose hearts ache for My presence and embrace; whose spirits soar with hope as the dawn brings forth a new day, full of fresh possibilities and opportunities.”

Activation:

The Lord has so much more to give us when we sleep. Even then, He wants us to prepare our hearts, minds and spirits to be open to His ministering grace and revelation, which will then set us on the right path each new day. There are ways we can prepare: Keep short accounts with the Lord and don’t go to sleep without doing a quick soul check. Ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind anything you need to say sorry for or someone you need to forgive.

Recite a Bible verse you know well before you lie down. Pray that the Lord will bring fresh wisdom to your mind as you wake. Listen to a worship song before you go to sleep. Pray that the words of that song will be on your lips when you wake. Keep pen and paper by the side of your bed or a recording device. Early morning dreams can be rich in revelation so be ready to write them down as soon as you wake.

Consider waking for a particular watch of the night or ask the Lord to wake you when He wants to give you a ‘watch revelation download’. Write it down and pray. Then go back to sleep. In the morning, reflect on what you wrote & prayed and ask Holy Spirit what the Lord wants you to do with it.

21 But this I call to mind,
    and therefore I have hope:

22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases,[a]
    his mercies never come to an end;

23 they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

24 ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul,
    ‘therefore I will hope in him.’

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A New Wind

Dear one, I know that you sense the stirring in the atmosphere, the shifts of change in the air. Behold there is a new wind blowing from a direction that is unfamiliar to you. My Spirit is blowing in with purpose to accelerate and administrate transition. Watch for the direction of the windsock changing in the spirit, and do not be surprised or caught off guard – for you have been forewarned.

My Spirit comes to blow away what has been, and to deposit something new. Do not resist Me, do not shelter from My power – lean into the winds of change and transition. Stay open to the new and let go of the ways things have always been – let go of your comforts and traditions, for they have no place in the new season that I am calling you into.

Note the direction from which the wind of My Spirit blows – you sense that there are things I am asking of you that I have not asked before. Strategies are being deposited that are specific to the timings of the new season – do not miss or dismiss them because they seem so different to what has gone before.

Expect things to be uncovered in your life that I have previously planted; seeds that are now ready to grow into this new alignment. Though this uncovering may feel exposing at times, remember that this is for your strengthening and equipping by the wind of My Spirit.

Activation:

Ask Holy Spirit if there are any comforts or traditions that you are still holding onto, give Him permission to reveal dormant things and choose to let them go. Consciously choose to lean into the fresh wind of the Spirit – release control and let His power hold you. Ask Him to blow through your spirit with His, and deposit the new strategies and timings of the new season inside of you.

Do not rush this process – it may take a few days, so keep coming back to that place of reliance in the spirit with Him.

But from there you will search again for the LORD your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.

Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT)

And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be  [a]transformed  and  progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

Romans 12:2 (AMP)

Footnotes
[a] Romans 12:2 From the Greek word meaning “metamorphosis.” Refers to the process that leads to an outward, permanent change.
