Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Be the Solution

My child, I have called you to speak out and change atmospheres. I have called you to know your identity in Me, follow My Spirit and decree over the nations with the authority I have given you.
This is not a time to slumber. Wars are raging and there are people around you that are either under resignation and denial, or enwrapped in fear.
But I have My remnant who have gone through fire in preparation for this. I have refined you, you have felt the fire of My furnace and emerged through the other side. So arise and be the solution, be My solution to the world.
Start with a friend, a neighbour or a colleague – speak Kingdom truth and solutions into their lives with confidence. Do not let any lying spirit deceive you into thinking that you can’t do it, that you’re not ready or that you’re not good enough.
Follow Me, follow the sound of My voice, and I will show you who to talk to, when and how. Speak the truth and set them free. Don’t put limits on yourself, and don’t put limits on Me.

Activation:

Ask Holy Spirit to allow you to see with God’s eyes what is going on around you. Then ask Him to “zoom in” to better understand the details. After that, ask the Lord who is the person, people group or nation you should speak words of truth and deliverance to. After you have practised and become familiar with it, then make it a lifestyle to bring Kingdom solutions to those around you.

The Truth Will Make You Free

31 So Jesus was saying to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then] you are truly My disciples. 

32 And you will know the truth [regarding salvation], and the truth will set you free [from the penalty of sin].”

John 8:31-32 (AMP)

“I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers,
For You have given me wisdom and power;
Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You,
For You have made known to us [the solution to] the king’s matter.”

Daniel 2:23 (AMP)

“I say to you, whoever declares openly and confesses Me before men [speaking freely of Me as his Lord], the Son of Man also will declare openly and confess him [as one of His own] before the angels of God.

Luke 12:8 (AMP)

Monday Morning Prayer (W43/2024)

21 But this I call to mind,
Therefore I have hope.

22 It is because of the LORD’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed,
Because His [tender] compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning;
Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:21-23 (NIV)

El Emunah. My God and Father. The Great and Mighty God of all. The One who is the Creator of all that is seen and unseen; things before, right now and ahead. I ask You for forgiveness of sins, whether they be of thoughts, words or deeds. I thank You that my sins are as far from me as the east is from the west, so You can use me once again.

Today I come before You to give thanks, because Your mercies are new every morning. Life is a long road that has many things that step into our paths to sidetrack us, blind us, slow us down or speed us up. However, I can thank You for always being a God of a second chance; I can pull on Your mercy as it endures forever. You are a Faithful God and no matter how many times I fail, You are there to lift me up, forgive me and place me back up on the Rock from where I fell. Remind me, when I fall away it is not from physical things but it is from You. Help me to find myself within You. Once my roots are embedded in You, they will not be uprooted and pushed away. I remain rooted and focused. Joy, peace, love, confidence and courage are all available to me in abundance, if I request them from You, and do not expect to find them in this world. As I seek Your face, I ask for a new heart to be placed within me, which holds new desires. As the songwriter requests, ‘Prepare me to be a sanctuary; pure and holy, tried and true’. I look to You and ask that Your will be done in my life.

Blessed (content, sheltered by God’s promises) are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

Matthew 5:7 (AMP)

Be merciful (responsive, compassionate, tender) just as your (heavenly) Father is merciful.

Luke 6:36 (AMP)

Blessed (gratefully praised and adored) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (AMP)

But God, being (so very) rich in mercy, because of His great and wonderful love with which He loved us, even when we were (spiritually) dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us (spiritually) alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment).

Ephesians 24:5 (AMP)

‘...having been deeply rooted (in Him) and now being continually built up in Him and (becoming increasingly more) established in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude

Colossians 2:7 (AMP)

Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. The Lord does not delay (as though He were unable to act) and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is (extraordinarily) patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance

2 Peter 3:8-9 (AMP)

If we (freely) admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises), and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness (our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose).

1 John 1:9 (AMP)

To You who is able to keep me from falling and to present me before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – to You who is the only God, my Saviour, be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Yeshua The Anointed One, my Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. Jude 1:24-25

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Blessed are the Merciful

“Blessed [content, sheltered by God’s promises] are the merciful, for they will receive mercy

Matthew 5:7 (AMP)

The Lord says: “I am taking you on a journey to expand your heart.”

“It is not enough that you love family and friends and forgive them when they offend you by word or deed. Your love for them covers a multitude of offences and you know My commands to you about forgiveness. But don’t those who do not know Me do the same as you? Is the bar of forgiveness and mercy set so low?

I require a level of mercy from you that will test you in the days ahead. I will ask you to forgive those who ignore and shun you, those who set themselves up against you, those who plot against you and seek your downfall, those who show enmity towards you and those who are false to you.

I know the pain and hurt this will cause you. Just as a mother lovingly cares for and protects her newborn baby, so I lovingly care and protect you who are weak and vulnerable. I will be with you at these times of trial, I will be your strength.

My Spirit will enlarge your heart so that you can forgive – by acknowledging the hurt, letting you see beyond the offence and denying bitterness and resentment from constricting your heart. As you share in My sufferings, so you will share in My comfort.”

Activation:

The Hebrew word for mercy is ‘rachamim’, meaning to love tenderly, to pity, to sympathise with and to have compassion for. It is closely related to the word for ‘womb’ – representing the unconditional love a mother has for her baby.

Ask Holy Spirit to help you visualise yourself being held like a child in the hands of a truly loving God. What are the sensations that you feel? Can you feel His love completely surrounding you? This is the same God who sent His Son to die on a cross – deserted by His friends, vilified by the crowds and who, as they cast lots for His clothes, said: “Father, forgive them” (Luke 23:34).

[a]And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing His clothes among themselves.

Luke 23:34 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Luke 23:34 Some early mss do not contain the words “And Jesus was saying…doing.”

Make mercy an action word. Allow Holy Spirit to show you any unresolved areas of forgiveness and agree to keep short accounts. Pause and pray before responding, remembering that picture of God’s love for you. Surrender any thoughts of justice to the Lord.

8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

9 The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works [the entirety of things created].

Psalm 145:8-9 (AMP)

12 So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper]; 

13 bearing graciously with one another, and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so should you forgive.

Colossians 3:12-13 (NLT)

Monday Morning Scripture – Colossians 3:1-17

Put On the New Self

1 Therefore if you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, sharing in His resurrection from the dead], keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. 

3 For you died [to this world], and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. 

4 When Christ, who is our life, [a]appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

5 So put to death and deprive of power the evil longings of your earthly body [with its sensual, self-centered instincts] immorality, impurity, sinful passion, evil desire, and greed, which is [a kind of] idolatry [because it replaces your devotion to God]. 

6 Because of these [sinful] things the [divine] wrath of God is coming [b]on the sons of disobedience [those who fail to listen and who routinely and obstinately disregard God’s precepts], 

7 and in these [sinful things] you also once walked, when you were habitually living in them [without the knowledge of Christ]. 

8 But now rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene (abusive, filthy, vulgar) language from your mouth. 

9 Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its evil practices, 

10 and have put on the new [spiritual] self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self— 

11 a renewal in which there is no [distinction between] Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [nor between nations whether] [c]barbarian or [d]Scythian, [nor in status whether] slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all [so believers are equal in Christ, without distinction].

12 So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper]; 

13 bearing graciously with one another, and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so should you forgive. 

14 Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in [unselfish] love, which is the perfect bond of unity [for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others]. 

15 Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. 

16 Let the [spoken] word of Christ have its home within you [dwelling in your heart and mind—permeating every aspect of your being] as you teach [spiritual things] and admonish and train one another with all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 

17 Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Colossians 3:1-17 (AMP)

Bible Verse of the Day – Being the Light of Christ

14 “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 

15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 

16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:14-16 (AMP)

Friday Morning Scripture – Psalm 51

A Contrite Sinner’s Prayer for Pardon.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bathsheba.

1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;
According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness and guilt
And cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I am conscious of my transgressions and I acknowledge them;
My sin is always before me.

4 Against You, You only, have I sinned
And done that which is evil in Your sight,
So that You are justified when You speak [Your sentence]
And faultless in Your judgment.

5 I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness;
In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful].

6 Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.

7 Purify me with [a]hyssop, and I will be clean;
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Make me hear joy and gladness and be satisfied;
Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.

9 Hide Your face from my sins
And blot out all my iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right and 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.

13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted and return to You.

14 Rescue me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;
Then my tongue will sing joyfully of Your righteousness and Your justice.

15 O Lord, open my lips,
That my mouth may declare Your praise.

16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offering.

17 My [only] sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart [broken with sorrow for sin, thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.

18 By Your favor do good to Zion;
May You rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then will You delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.

Psalm 51:1-19 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – They’re Coming Home

So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

Luke 15:20 (AMP)

There is a fresh move of My Spirit to restore identity and heal the orphan heart. Pray and declare with faith and expectation for the prodigals as I call them into the fullness of My plans and purposes.

Many beloved prodigals have been wounded by the religious spirit and have partnered with bitterness and offence.  I am releasing dreams and encounters with My goodness and mercy to heal and deliver. Don’t limit My power to cleanse and restore, for no ‘pig swill’ years are beyond My redemption.  

In time, I will raise up many to return to those dark places in search of the lost to bring them, in turn, into the light.  They will do so with compassion, insight and understanding which comes only from shared experience.  Nothing is ever wasted! I know and love those who knew and loved Me, and they will carry great levels of My glory, power and authority. 

I am restoring your loved ones to Me, to you, and to the church.  There is fresh grace upon their lives to reach many for the sake of My Son and the kingdom.  Now is the time to call them home!

Activation:

Spend time in the Lord’s presence and release any disappointment and hope deferred.  Allow Holy Spirit to heal your heart and fill you with fresh faith to believe for the return of your prodigals.  Look at a photograph of your loved one(s) and ask God to show you how He sees them and the specifics of His plans for their lives.  Ask Holy Spirit to confirm scriptures to decree and declare daily and rise up in authority as you do!

Thus says the Lord,

“Restrain your voice from weeping
And your eyes from tears,
For your work will be rewarded,” says the Lord;
“And your children will return from the enemy’s land.

And cleanse me from my sin.

And sinners shall be converted and return to You.

Friday Morning Scripture – Matthew 5:14-16

Disciples and the World

13 “You are the [a]salt of the earth; but if the salt has [b]lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery].

14 “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 

16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.

17 “Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the [c]Law [of Moses] or the [writings of the] Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

18 For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things [which it foreshadows] are accomplished. 

19 So whoever breaks one of the least [important] of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least[important] in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 “For I say to you that unless your righteousness (uprightness, moral essence) is more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:14-20 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Come and See

    My Beloved,

    Today I am extending an invitation to you: “Come and see.”

    I see that you are anxious and worried, exhausted and stressed. You have been doing and managing, running and planning for a long time. It is time to stop and pause and accept My invitation, My Beloved.

    Come to Me and get to know Me on a deeper level. 

    I am waiting for you. 

    I am welcoming you into My embrace.

    Come and see! 

    I am waiting for you to unburden your heart and to let Me take care of all the heavy weights you are carrying.

    Let Me transform your hopelessness into hope. Let Me exchange your worries and anxieties for peace. Let Me wipe your tears and give you laughter and joy instead.

    Hope has a name. 

    Freedom has a name. 

    Joy and laughter has a name. 

    Transformation has a name. 

    And this name is My name, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

    My Beloved, Come and see. Let me demonstrate to you the transformative power of a deep relationship with Me. Come to Me and experience the power of My name. Make spending time with Me your utmost priority in this time.

    Activation:

    Jesus wants to breathe new life into you and into your circumstances. Write down a list of all your to-do’s, your worries, your anxious thoughts, your questions, your hurts. Then take some time and accept Jesus’ invitation to come to Him and see. Give Him your list and leave it with Him. Spend time in prayer, meditate on the verses below and let Jesus’ words transform your life.

    5 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.

    John 15:5-8 (AMP)

    Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.[Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]

    John 14:27 (AMP)

    The Cure for Anxiety

    25 “Therefore I tell you, stop being worried or anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? 

    26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? 

    27 And who of you by worrying can add one [a]hour to [the length of] his life?
