Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Well Done

You have said, “I will step into Your Refiners Fire God, I will choose to be purified from the inside out.”   I am always watching and I am such a proud Father. As a child does something his/her parent doesn’t have to negotiate to have their child do, you have set yourself willingly in the fire of purification. I have watched, I have heard, and I have seen you.  I have seen the pain of your past, your present, and your future being purified by fire. As you have been tested, you have laid all at My feet and said, “You can have it all.”  

Thank you. 

I celebrate this because now I will entrust you with more. The wisdom that comes by the testing with fire, no one can take from you. You have said “yes” to these extraordinary conditions and have honoured Me. You have been purified and you have blessed My heart. 

As you have let go of the things that have weighed you down and kept your ears from hearing and your eyes from seeing, I will pour into you the new and fresh revelation. You have not only been purified, but you have leaned on Me. 

I am your Beloved. 

As you lean on Me, I will tell you more of My secrets. The purifying causes you to lean on Me and that allows close proximity to share My secrets. 

Activation:

Write down the new things God is saying and ask a few questions: 

What else God, tell me more?

Who can I trust to pray with me?

Sometimes we need someone to stand with us as we are in the fire because it’s uncomfortable and painful. We need each other. 

I will bring that group through the fire
    and make them pure.
I will refine them like silver
    and purify them like gold.
They will call on My name,
    and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘These are My people,’
    and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”

Leaning upon her beloved?”

Friday Morning Scripture – Zechariah 13

False Prophets Ashamed

1 “In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the people of Jerusalem for [cleansing from] sin and impurity.

2 “In that day,” declares the LORD of hosts, “I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the [false] prophets and the unclean spirit from the land. 

3 And if anyone still [appears as a prophet and falsely] prophesies, then his father and his mother who gave birth to him will say to him, ‘You shall not live, for you have spoken lies in the name of the LORD’; and his father and his mother who gave birth to him shall pierce him through when he prophesies. 

4 And in that day the [false] prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not wear a hairy robe [of true prophets] in order to deceive, 

5 but he will [deny his identity and] say, ‘I am no prophet. I work the ground, because a man sold me as a slave in my youth.’ 

6 And one will say to him, ‘What are these [a]wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those wounds I received in the house of my friends.’

7 “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd,
And against the Man, My Associate,”
Declares the LORD of hosts.
“Strike the Shepherd so that the sheep [of the flock] may be scattered;
And I will turn My hand and stretch it out against the little ones [of the flock].

8 “It will come about in all the land,”
Declares the LORD,
“Two parts in it will be cut off and perish,
But the third will be left alive.

9 “And I will bring the third part through the fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will listen and answer them;
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Reassess, Realign, Rejuvenate

    The Lord says, 

    “I am watching you run the race that I have set for you. You’re keeping a good pace, and I am pleased with your perseverance and your pursuit of the reward. I want you to finish well and finish strong. So, I am asking you to pause for a moment and take a rest. This is not a stopping point to get distracted; this is a focused pause to adjust and ensure that you’re focused on Me and what I’m doing. 

    It’s time to reassess, realign, and rejuvenate.

    I want you to pause to reassess the landscape. 

    Eyes up!

    The landscape is changing, and navigating it will require a different plan, strategy, and strength. During this pause, you must also reassess the weight that you are carrying. You are carrying more than I need you to carry, and some things do not belong to you; they belong to Me. Relinquish those things and let Me bear the weight of what only I am equipped to carry. 

    Remember, this journey is not one to do in your own strength, but it’s a journey with Me to learn absolute reliance on Me and to learn to lean your entire personality on Me.

    Pause to review your instructions to see if they have changed at all, and then realign yourself to them. 

    Finally, pause to breathe. Instead of pausing to catch your breath, I want you to pause to receive mine. Be rejuvenated as I breathe My spirit into you, releasing life and strength. Receive My breath that energises you for the journey ahead.”

    Activation: Sometimes we get so caught up in the race that we forget to look up to see what’s around us and if things have changed. Now is the time to ask the Lord what He requires of you in the next leg of the race. It’s time to pause to reassess, realign, and rejuvenate. 

    Reassess – What extra weight does the Lord need you to unload? Are you properly prepared and equipped, has the landscape changed, and are you ready for it?

    Realign – Review your instructions, are there any changes? Now is the time to go back to the Lord to ensure that you are indeed on track and following His most current instructions and plan.

    Rejuvenate – Be still for a moment, intentionally resting to receive the revitalising breath of God.

    And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

    Romans 8:11 (AMP)

    For it is [not your strength, but it is] [a]God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.

    Thursday Morning Scripture – Romans 8

    Escape from Bondage

    1 Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 

    2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 

    3 For what the Law could not do [that is, overcome sin and remove its penalty, its power] being weakened by the flesh [man’s nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son], 

    4 so that the [righteous and just] requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not live our lives in the ways of the flesh [guided by worldliness and our sinful nature], but [live our lives] in the ways of the Spirit [guided by His power]. 

    5 For those who are living according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh [which gratify the body], but those who are living according to the Spirit, [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit [His will and purpose]. 

    6 Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever—because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God—both now and forever]; 

    7 the mind of the flesh [with its sinful pursuits] is actively hostile to God. It does not submit itself to God’s law, since it cannot, 

    8 and those who are in the flesh [living a life that caters to sinful appetites and impulses] cannot please God.

    9 However, you are not [living] in the flesh [controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God]. 

    10 If Christ lives in you, though your [natural] body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness [which He provides]. 

    11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

    12 So then, [a]brothers and sisters, we have an obligation, but not to our flesh [our human nature, our worldliness, our sinful capacity], to live according to the [impulses of the] flesh [our nature without the Holy Spirit]— 

    13 for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever. 

    14 For all who are allowing themselves tobe led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 

    15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “[b]Abba! Father!” 

    16 The Spirit Himself testifies andconfirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God. 

    17 And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.

    18 For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us! 

    19 For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed. 

    20 For the creation was subjected to frustration and futility, not willingly [because of some intentional fault on its part], but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope 

    21 that the creation itself will also be freed from its bondage to decay [and gain entrance] into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 

    22 For we know that the whole creation has been moaning together as in the pains of childbirth until now.

    23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons—the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection]. 

    24 For in this hope we were saved [by faith]. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he already sees? 

    25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure.

    Our Victory in Christ

    26 In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. 

    27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of [c]God’s people in accordance with God’s will.

    28 And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. 

    29 For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. 

    30 And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity].

    31 What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? 

    32 He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? 

    33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself]. 

    34 Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us. 

    35 Who shall ever separate us from the love of [d]Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 

    36 Just as it is written and forever remains written,

    “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
    WE ARE REGARDED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.”

    37 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]. 

    38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 

    39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Thursday Morning Scripture – Philippians 2:1-18

    Be Like Christ

    1 Therefore if there is any encouragement and comfort in Christ [as there certainly is in abundance], if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship [that we share] in the Spirit, if [there is] any [great depth of] affection and compassion, 

    2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same [a]love [toward one another], knit together in spirit, intent on one purpose [and living a life that reflects your faith and spreads the gospel—the good news regarding salvation through faith in Christ]. 

    3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves. 

    4 Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 

    5 Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility], 

    6 who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes—the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it]; 

    7 but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man]. 

    8 After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross. 

    9 For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 

    10 so that at the name of Jesus [b]every knee shall bow [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 

    11 and that every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

    12 So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. 

    13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] [c]God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.

    14 Do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God], 

    15 so that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness], 

    16 holding out and offering to everyone the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to rejoice greatly because I did not run [my race] in vain nor labor without result. 

    17 But even if I am being poured out as a [d]drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith [for preaching the message of salvation], still I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 

    18 You too, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

      Thursday Morning Scripture – Hebrews 12

      God’s Discipline Proves His Love

      1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 

      2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.[a]Because of the joy[b] awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 

      3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people;[c]then you won’t become weary and give up. 

      4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.

      5 And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children?[d] He said, 

      “My child,[e] don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline,
          and don’t give up when he corrects you.

      6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves,
          and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.”      [f]

      7 As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? 

      8 If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. 

      9 Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever?[g]

      10 For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. 

      11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.

      12 So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. 13 Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.

      A Call to Listen to God

      14 Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. 

      15 Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. 

      16 Make sure that no one is immoral or godless like Esau, who traded his birthright as the firstborn son for a single meal.

      17 You know that afterward, when he wanted his father’s blessing, he was rejected. It was too late for repentance, even though he begged with bitter tears.

      18 You have not come to a physical mountain,[h] to a place of flaming fire, darkness, gloom, and whirlwind, as the Israelites did at Mount Sinai.

      19 For they heard an awesome trumpet blast and a voice so terrible that they begged God to stop speaking. 

      20 They staggered back under God’s command: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[i] 

      21 Moses himself was so frightened at the sight that he said, “I am terrified and trembling.”[j]

      22 No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering.

      23 You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect. 

      24 You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel.

      25 Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!

      26 When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.”[k] 

      27 This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.

      28 Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. 

      29 For our God is a devouring fire.

      I am calling you out of the dry and difficult season where you were tried and tested. 

      Abandon yourself in Worship as you come out of the wilderness; dance with Me!   

      I have more for you as you emerge stronger than before with more trust and faith in Me.  Step into the destiny I have prepared for you.  

      Those things you clung to as a safety net or turned to for comfort aren’t needed. Leave the old behind and boldly turn your focus to Me.

      Trust My provision for you. 

      Am I not more than enough for you? 

      Have I not proved in the wilderness that I am the God that provides?

      Now is the Time!  

      Worship Me as you step into the new!  

      Sense My presence; press into My joy and feel My great love for you.  

      I am so eager to share what I have in store for you now that you have been refined by this past season.  

      Can you sense the joy of the New right around the corner?  

      Activation: Take time to abandon yourself in worship. What does it mean that Jesus wants to dance with you? Jesus delights in being the source of your joy so invite Him in and release any heaviness now and turn it to dancing. 

      But as for me, I will sing of Your mighty strength and power;
      Yes, I will sing joyfully of Your lovingkindness in the morning;
      For You have been my stronghold
      And a refuge in the day of my distress.

      Psalm 59:16 (AMP)

      I am here for you, and I am offering you a quiet place to rest from your weariness. I am here to revive you. Lift up your head now as if catching a refreshing breeze. See, I am blowing gently on you, and as I do, allow Me to refresh you with My Spirit as you let My ruach caress your face.

      With My breath, I breathed life into Adam’s nostrils, and he became a living soul. And with My breath, I breathe into yours and release into you the Spirit of Life. It’s here for you to rejuvenate, to restore, and to give you life. Just rest and breathe Me in, breathe in My spirit. Be refreshed as I release life into you.

      As you receive My breath, allow your shoulders to relax as you let go of all that is burdening you. Is My arm too short to lift off your burdens and carry them? Absolutely not! I am the LORD, and I am strength. So, cast all of your cares onto Me, and release them to Me completely, and let your soul find rest as you breathe in My spirit and rest in My love for you.

      Activation:

      Renewal Breathing Exercises: Practise intentional breathing exercises focused on inviting the Holy presence and peace of God into your moments of weariness or stress. Find a quiet place where you can sit or lie down comfortably. 

      Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and with each inhale, visualize yourself breathing in the refreshing Spirit of Yahweh. As you exhale, release any burdens or worries, surrendering them to His care. Engage in this practice regularly, allowing His breath to rejuvenate your spirit and bring rest to your soul.

      “The Spirit of God has made me,
      And the breath of       [a]the Almighty gives me life [which inspires me].

      Job 33:4 (AMP)

        Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Refreshing Love

        “I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves Me. You must continually let My love nourish your hearts. If you keep My commands, you will live in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by His love.”

        John 15:9-10 (TPT)

        9 I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you]. 

        10 If you keep My commandments  and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

        John 15:9-10 (AMP)

        Beloved one,

        Let My love wash you afresh today. Take a moment to still yourself and just be with Me. As you sit with Me, allow your heart to realign with Mine, coming into My rhythm. Hear Me as I gently whisper over you:

        I love you.

        I love you.

        I love you.

        Allow yourself to receive those words afresh.

        My love brings refreshing; it brings strength. Allow My love today to warm the areas of your heart that have grown cold. As you receive My love today pay attention to how you feel.

        Do you feel re-energized? Rejuvenated? 

        My love is here to bring refreshment to your entire being. 

        Activation: Over this coming week, take a moment each day to declare over yourself, “I am loved by the Most High King!” Declare this truth over your mind, body, and soul. Speak it out as many times as it takes until you feel the truth – that you are deeply loved by Him – rise within you. 

        4 “He has brought me to his banqueting place,
        And his banner over me is love         [waving overhead to protect and comfort me].

        5 “Sustain me with raisin cakes,
        Refresh me with apples,
        Because I am sick with love.

        6 “Let his left hand be under my head
        And his right hand embrace me.”

        Song of Solomon 2:4-6 (AMP)

        Suddenly, he transported me into his house of wine—

        He looked upon me with his unrelenting love divine. 

        Revive me with your raisin cakes. 

        Refresh me again with your apples. 

        Help me and hold me, for I am lovesick! 

        I am longing for more—

        yet how could I take more?

        His left hand  cradles my head

        while his right hand  holds me close.

        I am at rest in this love. 

        Song of Solomon 2:4-6 (TPT)
