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)

Footnotes

[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)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Take Authority

    My child, I know the unease you are feeling about areas of life that feel out of control and unpredictable. You sense the call to step out, but also feel the ground moving beneath your feet as you transition, causing you to feel destabilised and off balance.

    Consider the Sea of Galilee; a large and powerful body of water. To the disciples it represented so much more than that: livelihood, resource, food, travel and transport. But it’s also subject to sudden and violent storms; whilst relying on it, the disciples’ lives would also be at the mercy of it.

    During one such storm, Jesus Christ walked out upon the water to meet the disciples in the centre of the storm, but their fear paralysed them and they did not recognise Him. Do not let fear take such a hold of you, that you do not recognise My hand upon your life. When Jesus walked on the water, He demonstrated His authority over the storm, but also over the lake. This powerful force that the disciples’ lives were at the mercy of, was now under the authority of Jesus Christ.

    The disciples would never again be defenceless against the lake for these things – for they found their security in the one who has authority over them all. How much more authority then do you have, through Jesus Christ? In Me, you have the authority to overcome the enemy and his attempts to destabilise you – you have the authority to stand and to declare peace and stability in transition. Rise up, stand firm and take authority.

    Activation:-

    Sit with Holy Spirit and ask Him to bring to mind the areas of your life that feel destabilised and off balance. Repent of any times that you have partnered with fear, and ask Holy Spirit to show you the ways in which He has been working that you have missed. Picture yourself physically positioned over the unstable areas of your life, just as Jesus positioned himself over the waters. Declare that in Jesus’ name, they come into alignment with God’s will in your life, and under the authority that you have been given through Him.

    49 But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost, and cried out [in horror];

    50 for they all saw Him and were shaken and terrified. But He immediately spoke with them and said, “Take courage! It is I (I AM)! Stop being afraid.”

    Mark 6:49-50 (AMP)

    Listen carefully: I have given you authority [that you now possess] to tread on [a]serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you.

    Luke 10:19 (AMP)

    [a] Luke 10:19 Perhaps a reference to demonic powers (spirits).

      Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Take Up Your Weapon

      Take up your weapon, Church. As My Word says, ‘For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart’. Let the Word sift you and teach you of what pleases Me. My Word is the source of encouragement, truth and the plumbline by which you should measure and order your life. Search out the scriptures and let your hearts be strengthened as you rest in the assurity of My Word and My powerful promises. Take up the Sword of the Spirit!

      I am looking for those who like Joshua keep the Word of Truth on their lips and in their hearts, for he was told ‘…meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.’

      For My words are spirit and life, and some of you have laid down your weapons feeling weak. You do not know how to fight like you once did in a previous season. Return to the Word. It is time to anchor yourselves on the Word of Truth.

      If you have put down your sword, find it, dust it off and begin to read. Read and read again, allowing faith to stir in your spirit and the Word to cleanse you. ‘Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God’.

      Activation:

      Seek the Lord to identify a scripture that relates to an area of your life where you need to be reminded of the Truth and where you are being prompted to take up the Sword of the Spirit once again. Spend time writing out the scripture, practice memorising it, and then speak out this scripture as you pray and contend for breakthrough.

      So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;
      It will not return to Me void (useless, without result),
      Without accomplishing what I desire,
      And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

      Isaiah 55:11 (AMP)

      This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be [a]successful.

      Joshua 1:8 (AMP)

        Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Weapons of Wisdom

        Beloved, I see you poised ready like a runner waiting to get in the starting blocks. And yet I know how acutely aware of the final period of waiting you are. Do not give space to lies of confusion over the timing, you have not misread the signs. This is not an unholy delay but I am using this pause for vital work that will strengthen you for the advance.

        I have been increasing wisdom within you but now I am preparing your arms to wield that weapon well. You have been, and continue, to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. My thoughts in your mind are a powerful weapon.

        As you speak and release my thoughts, you will be taking authority over the atmosphere; you will be pushing back what the enemy is releasing over your family, your church, your city and your nation. I am training you to grow into a wider sphere of influence as you step further into the authority I give you.

        I am purging your mind of the impurities. As you speak freedom, you release others from their restraints, their powerlessness and disbelief, into active faith, into knowing identity and into their place of warfare.

        As you speak love you break fear, rejection and independence over others. As you speak healing you break infirmities, depression and release health and wholeness. And as you learn to wield this weapon of wisdom, your reach of impact will grow from individuals to nations.

        Application:

        Read James 3:17-18. Sit in these words with Holy Spirit asking him to show you how these qualities were demonstrated by Jesus Christ. Allow Holy Spirit to transform your thinking as you gaze on Jesus.

        17 But the wisdom from above is first pure [morally and spiritually undefiled], then peace-loving [courteous, considerate], gentle, reasonable [and willing to listen], full of compassion and good fruits. It is unwavering, without [self-righteous] hypocrisy [and self-serving guile].

        18 And the seed whose fruit is righteousness (spiritual maturity) is sown in peace by those who make peace [by actively encouraging goodwill between individuals].

        James 3:17-18 (AMP)

        And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.

        2 Corinthians 3:18 (AMP)

        Exaltation of the Afflicted

        The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
        Because the LORD has anointed and commissioned me
        To bring good news to the humble and afflicted;
        He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted,
        To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives
        And freedom to prisoners,

        Isaiah 61:1 (AMP)
