Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Delve Into My Heart

My child,

I want you to delve into My heart to discover those aspects of Me that you haven’t seen yet. You have asked Me to open your eyes to My different facets.

In this season I am going to stir your hunger for Me and your utter desire to be stripped off of what hinders you from touching that place of intimacy. In this new time the process will be fierce and thorough. There is no longer the option for half-hearted devotion. Situations will conspire to keep you close and to have your eyes fixed on Me.

Your whole heart is being renewed. 

Where you have felt hindered or unable to accomplish a steadfastness rooted in Me, this spirit of hinderance will no longer hold. You will ascertain what it means to be in Me and to be enveloped by My presence. So much so, that you will cry out: “There is no place I’d rather be than in the presence of the Lord” and “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” 

There is a purpose to all of this, My beloved. 

I am strengthening your feet on the Rock Jesus Christ and building on this foundation so that in Me nothing will be swept away by the storms and squalls that are fast approaching. 

Only in My presence, in that depth of depths, will you be able to climb those mountains, reach those peaks and walk the path I’m calling you into: for My glory and the enhancement of My Kingdom. So look into My eyes and lose yourself in Me as I show you this new way.  

Activation: Begin to ask the Lord what has been hindering you in your past. Ask Jesus how He is bringing breakthrough in these areas of your heart and how you can partner with Holy Spirit to leave behind what is stale and doesn’t bring fruit anymore. 

For You are great and do wondrous works!
You alone are God.

Psalm 84:10 (AMP)

He hushed the storm to a gentle whisper,
So that the waves of the sea were still.

Psalm 107:29 (AMP)

“The Rock! His work is perfect,
For all His ways are just;
A God of faithfulness without iniquity (injustice),
Just and upright is He.

Deuteronomy 32:4 (AMP)

Monday Morning Scripture – Psalm 84

Longing for the Temple Worship.

To the Chief Musician; set to a [a]Philistine lute. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 How lovely are Your dwelling places,
O LORD of hosts!

2 My soul (my life, my inner self) longs for and greatly desires the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

3 The bird has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
My King and my God.

4 Blessed and greatly favored are those who dwell in Your house and Your presence;
They will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah.

5 Blessed and greatly favored is the man whose strength is in You,
In [b]whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6 Passing through the Valley of Weeping ([c]Baca), they make it a place of springs;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.

7 They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power];
Each of them appears before God in Zion.

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Listen, O God of Jacob! Selah.

9 See our shield, O God,
And look at the face of Your anointed [the king as Your representative].
10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else];
I would rather stand [as a doorkeeper] at the threshold of the house of my God
Than to live [at ease] in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD bestows grace and favor and honor;
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

12 O LORD of hosts,
How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation].

Psalm 84:1-12 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Above the Chaos

Beloved, I, the Lord, have set a higher standard for My people to rest and take refuge in Me. I am calling you to rise to higher places with Me far above the chaos and distractions around you. My desire is for you to experience My vantage point as we soar together at great heights.  As we begin to feel the thermals and ascend, take my hand and don’t look down. Stay focused on Me. I will be that comforting and stabilizing force as you rise. 

As we ascend through the clouds, keep your eyes on Me only. Just like an image becomes unclear when a snow globe is shaken, avoid fixating on the clouds or anything else that can hinder your view of what I wish to reveal to you. By maintaining your focus on Me, I will guide you toward clarity. With Me, you’ll find peace as you understand your new surroundings while staying calm and allowing everything to become clear

Activation:

Picture yourself inside of a shaken snow globe with the snow swirling about you. As you visualize this, reflect on a current situation in your life where you need the Lord’s clarity. Ask the Lord to share with you what He sees and His perspective regarding this situation. Ask Him to reveal its clear details to you. Additionally, according to Philippians 4:7, ask for His peace, which transcends all understanding, to guard your heart and mind in this situation. As you feel His peace settle you, visualize the swirling snow settling, allowing the image He wishes to show you to come into full focus and with clarity.

10 “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.

Psalm 46:10-11 (AMP)

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.

Psalm 32:8 (AMP)

The Sea Is Divided

13 Then Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid! Take your stand [be firm and confident and undismayed] and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for those Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see again. 

14 The LORD will fight for you while you [only need to] keep silent and remain calm.”

Exodus 14:13-14 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Be Intentional

My beloved ones, your quest for new heights, depths, and widths in Me brings Me great joy.  You have meditated My word and prophesied accurately as led by Holy Spirit. I commend your efforts and salute you for that. Additionally, you have even assisted those in need and done what was right. But there is one thing that has gradually diminished and gone amiss. As you have concentrated on doing the work of the Kingdom, you have inadvertently forgotten the core foundation of My Kingdom: My new commandment to love one another, both within the church and in the larger world. The time is up for mere “minuets” – superficial politeness and lifeless dry-bone Christianity.  

It is time to plunge deeply into My love and freely give of Me as freely you have received. The time has come to genuinely care for what is going on in other people’s lives and to give with intention, in whatever form that may be. Just as I sent My only begotten Son to model pure love and selflessness, I am calling you to love with the same unconditional love. I am beckoning you to defy social norms and to “get your hands dirty” even with those who seem to be the most “improbable” people according to society’s standards. My children, I want you to stretch wide and get out of your comfort zone, for generosity knows no bounds in My Kingdom. So invest in others and dare to go out of your way for the sake of My love.  In so doing, you will truly be recognised as Mine.

Activation: 

Take some time to reflect on the love that you’ve extended recently to other people beyond your family, friends, and those within your close circles. Have you intentionally demonstrated the true love of Jesus rather than just religious traditions? Take a moment and examine with Holy Spirit any feelings that you might have against specific groups of people. If so, ask Him to reveal the reasons why and repent. As you pray, listen for practical ways that Holy Spirit may guide you to love others as Jesus loved you.

34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you [a]love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another. 

35 By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you have love and unselfish concern for one another.”

John 13:34-35 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] John 13:34 The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for another.

    The Excellence of Love

    1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not [a]love [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. 

    2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing. 

    3 If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body [b]to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all.

    1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (AMP)

    Footnotes

    [a] 1 Corinthians 13:1 I.e. a profound thoughtfulness and unselfish concern for other believers regardless of their circumstances or station in life.

    [b] 1 Corinthians 13:3 Early mss read so that I may boast, i.e. as a martyr.

      Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away.

      1 Corinthians 13:8 (AMP)

      Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Eyes of Fire

      My beloved, I see you. You captivate Me. I desire to increase the intensity of My gaze. Will you come into greater levels of exposure before Me? Be brave, be vulnerable. My eyes of love are also eyes of fire, ready to penetrate your innermost being with power and life. Step closer, feel the heat, remove all veils, and let down your guard. For in this proximity, My eyes will burn impurities off you; they will burn off the things that you are carrying that I have not asked; they will burn off the passions that have dampened your resolve for obedience; they will burn off the distractions that slow you down. Through repentance, I will burn off the sin that has felt like it has consumed you and see it no longer. But beloved, you must come willingly, soft-heartedly, and with a desire for Me to see every part of you.

      After the burning what will remain? The gold. What you have built for eternity for My kingdom will remain strong and refined. You will stand purified, strengthened, and holy as a beacon of My grace and mercy, as one who can release hunger for holiness into My bride. You will stand in a place of greater authority and influence; whatever I overcome in you will become a sharpened sword in your hand, an area where the enemy will recognise your victory and fear you.

      But My beloved, even greater than this, will be the unhindered intimacy that you will step into, deeper than you have ever experienced as you become aware of how fully known and fully loved you are.

      Prayer:

      Jesus, I come close. I am hungry for more of You, and I long to be vulnerable and exposed in Your presence. I relinquish the veils before me, even the ones I am not aware of. Jesus, purify me in Your gaze; burn off what should not be there. I long to stand before You completely surrendered, transformed by Your fire, and empowered by Your presence in me. You are my strength, and You equip me for battle.

      31 For who is God, but the LORD?
      Or who is a rock, except our God,

      32 The God who encircles me with strength
      And makes my way blameless?

      Psalm 18:31-32 (AMP)

      14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, [glistening white] like snow; and His [all-seeing] eyes were [flashing] like a flame of fire [piercing into my being]. 

      15 His feet were like burnished [white-hot] bronze, refined in a furnace, and His voice was [powerful] like the sound of many waters.

      Revelation 1:14-15 (AMP)

      14 If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward. 

      15 But if any person’s work is burned up [by the test], he will suffer the loss [of his reward]; yet he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has barely escaped] through fire.

      1 Corinthians 3:14-15 (AMP)
