Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Priesthood
Priesthood is a position given through Christ. It’s a call to every believer through Christ. I have called you Priest and you are Mine. As you are given this position through Me, you cannot compromise, but stand as a righteous and faithful Priest.
Things come up in life that challenge conviction and bring compromise.
What has made you compromise your position as a priest?
Have pressure and fear led you to compromise? There is no condemnation, but let’s talk!
Today l am inviting you to come and reason with Me. Let’s talk about all the layers of fear, doubt, unbelief… l know you have been robbed of your position, l am ready to remove all these things that have affected you in operating in the fullness of Priesthood.
Activation: Take time and invite Holy Spirit to search your heart. Ask Holy Spirit to bring to light any beliefs that have been holding you back from operating in the fullness God has for you. Start to repent for each one, declaring: “Lord forgive me for not taking my position seriously but accepting to hold on to the voice of ———–. Please remove the hold of this voice and wash me with your blood so that l am made whole in you.”
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)
you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:5 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Transformation
My beloved,
I recognize that there are areas in your life where you feel that you are being continually worn down. Pay attention to those areas for it is in these places of repeated grinding and chipping away that I am refining you.
Stay with Me! Reshaping can take time but the end result is lasting and impactful change. Such refinement will not only impact you but it will change the effect you have on others, as you shine with My glory, displaying My love to those around you. I am establishing My precepts within you so that you can reveal Me wherever I lead you.
I have attended to every detail in your life so that you will not be lacking. In your refining you have been trained and made ready to pick up the position I have reserved for you. As you submit to My instructions you will stand out because you allowed Me to transform you and reflect My brilliance because you didn’t resist Me. It’s here where you will bring honour to Me and make My name known amongst those around you.
Activation: Think of an area in your life where you may feel that you are struggling in. Ask the Lord for revelation on this area so that you can understand the refining work He is doing. Then, spend some time conversing with the Lord about what He is doing. Have you been resisting Him in any way? Ask for wisdom and counsel on how to best partner with what He is doing in your life.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17 (ESV)
9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast [a]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
10 Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in [b]insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Keepers of Light
In these days of darkness, I am looking for light keepers from My Church.
I am calling you to shine My light in the darkness; to warn My people of the perils that lurk in the shadows; to expose the jagged rocks of the enemy lying in wait to ground the helpless; to illuminate safe passage for those seeking the shelter of the harbour.
Direct the light to where I tell you, for I see everything that tries to hide in the darkness. Nothing is beyond My gaze. Allow Me to train your eyes to discern the dangers so none are lost and reveal the counterfeit so that none are deceived.
As My light keeper, do not fear the storm when it sweeps in or be overwhelmed by the buffeting of the waves. When you are fastened strong like a limpet to Me, the Eternal Rock, the tempest will not overcome you and My light will shine ever brighter.
Remember, you are My witness to the light and the darkness will not prevail.
Activation: Pray to Him for strength and encouragement because being a keeper of His Light means being exposed. As you stand firm in His Spirit, do not be swayed by what is going on around you but let His Light boldly shine out so that people are saved from disaster and your Heavenly Father is glorified.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV)
Pe.
129 Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them.
130 The unfolding of Your [glorious] words give light; their unfolding gives understanding to the simple (childlike).
Psalm 119:129-130 (AMP)
4 In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men.
5 The Light shines on in the [a]darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].
John 1:4-5 (AMP)

[a] John 1:5 i.e. the world immersed in sin: all that stands in opposition to God and biblical truth.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Familiarity
My beloved,
I encourage you today to begin preparing your heart to step out into the new wave of My Spirit. Wipe off the familiarity with the old, as it has held you back and not allowed you to fully step forward. The enemy would like to have a hold on you by keeping you grounded in the familiar but I say, “I am doing a new thing!”
I know you have been hesitant to step forward but trust that full deliverance is coming so you can embrace the new. Old thoughts and patterns will be swept away by My love for you. As you sit in My presence and behold Me, I will begin to bring a new wave of My revelation that will penetrate your own being and place My truths within you. Brace yourself, as a new way of doing things is coming.
You will begin to see differently, act differently, and change in ways which will surprise but empower you.
Activation: Ask the Lord to reveal any areas in your life where He wants you to step out of familiarity and ask Him what new thing He has for you. This could be familiar thoughts, familiar people, familiar places around you, etc. Ask Him for strategy on how to do this and declare that you are stepping out of the old and into the new!
“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19 (AMP)
Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP)

Lion Bite – Global Prophetic Alliance – Hand in Hand
Today, my child, come and walk with Me on the beach.
Take a look at the sea.
Do you see the waves, agitated and tossed by every wind of change and every rumour of disaster?
But here, with Me, is calmness.
Where is your heart?
Is it calm, here, with Me? Or is it agitated, there, amongst the waves in the sea?
Where do you feel unstable?
What is it that succeeds in agitating you?
Come now, My child, tell Me, for there is doubt at the root of this agitation.
Confess where you haven’t trusted Me and make peace today with trusting Me in that area.
Take My hand and let Me draw you out to the water.
Then, do the same for your brothers, who are doubting in the sea.
Catch their hands and remind them they are on firm ground in Me.
Then walk, hand in hand with Me.
Feel the sand under your feet.
Feel the firm and soft, welcoming ground under your feet.
As My faithfulness, My true words, and the Kindness I have promised in oath to you, reassure you, welcome you, hold you, sustain you.
Feel the solidity of what will not dawn.
Yes, this world is turbulent but this is not the end for I am the great redeemer.
And oh, how beautiful is My creation. It is almost ready to arise in a new day.
Remember, I am your everlasting home, where We dwell together, forever.
Come, My child, walk hand in hand, with Me.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
James 1:5-8 (ESV)
The New Heaven and Earth
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away (vanished), and there is no longer any [a]sea.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, arrayed like a bride adorned for her husband;
3 and then I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “See! The tabernacle of God is among men, and He will live among them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them [b][as their God,]
Revelation 21:1-3 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Dispel the Mist
My beautiful warrior bride, stand with Me on the mountain top for there is mist in the valleys.
What has caused the mist?
My bride, you have grown too comfortable in the valleys and lost your warrior edge. Worldly ways, wisdom and strategies have become so accepted that you have lost sight of the greater truths of My unlimited Kingdom. When your income dictates your generosity you lose sight of My unlimited resources, when your ‘to-do list’ dictates your time you lose sight of My life-giving, spirit- empowering presence, when opinions of others dictates your actions you lose sight of the true freedom and power of following My Spirit’s leading, when you pull back from others you lose sight of the power of the united body of Christ.
I have not made you for the valleys.
See Me leading you upwards and out of the mist, into a clear and broad space. From this place of clear vision command the mist to leave, watch it disperse, replaced by glorious sunlight. Be the warrior I have made you to be.
Activation: Stand with Jesus on the mountainside and see the mist in the valleys. Ask where you have partnered with worldly thinking over Kingdom thinking. Write down what He shows you. Then tearing the paper, declare out loud “I break agreement with this pattern of thinking.” Spend time with the Holy Spirit asking Him to renew your thinking with the thoughts and strategies of Heaven.
6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.
8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:6-8 (ESV)
3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’
Jeremiah 33:3 (AMP)
The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; &He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet and makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my [a]high places [of challenge and responsibility].

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Inside Out
My beloved,
In these days of shaking, it is vital that you live from a place of rest in the finished work of the cross. The enemy is a defeated foe!
You have everything you need through your life union with My Son Jesus to advance the Kingdom by living in victory.
Take your stand! How the world needs this!
To put on the armour of God is not merely a daily devotional exercise or box that must be ticked in testing times. It is a posture of the heart that is consciously aware by faith of the life of Christ on the inside. It is a mind that is renewed by the Word, an inner being strengthened by truth. It is peace that overcomes as My love is shared with family and friends. This love is the very root and source of your life.
You are seated in Heavenly Places with Christ and I need you to live as one who has all power and authority to rule and reign with Him. Live from the inside out, not from the outside in.
Let my peace, power and presence flow from your inner being, transforming the world around you by changing lives.
Activation: Sit with the Lord and read Ephesians 6 on the Armour of God. Ask Holy Spirit to show you where there are chinks in your armour. Are you living with unbelief? Do you need more time in the Word? Are there lies that need to be exposed and replaced with truth? Repent where you need to and ask the Lord to fill you afresh with faith and a renewed vision of what you look like in the Spirit wearing the armour of God!
13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.[a]
16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.[b] 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:13-17 (NLT)
Footnotes
[a] 6:15 Or For shoes, put on the readiness to preach the Good News of peace with God.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – No Limits
I have seen you work hard to expand your faith and I am happy and proud of the outcome. But now is the time to take off your containment glasses.
It is the time to dream with Me, stretching beyond what you have ever imagined for your life and that of the people around you.
Is there any limit to what I can do? So have fun with Me and allow Me to take you on a roller-coaster ride of signs, wonders and miracles.
Look to Me, be flexible as you follow My Spirit; don’t try to work things out or find your own “super human” solutions.
I am the God of the impossible. Open your heart and be ready to be amazed and surprised like a child.
Activation: Ask the Lord to show you where and when you have contained or doubted what He can do in your life and repent. Then close your eyes and as you decree that nothing is impossible for God, see yourself breaking any barrier with the sword of the Spirit.
“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?”
Jeremiah 32:27 (AMP)
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people[as far as it depends on them] it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Tree of Life
My beloved child, start today by resting quietly with Me. Look into the spirit and see a stream of crystal clear living water flowing down the middle of the great street of My golden city, coming from My throne.
Can you see it?
Can you hear the water flowing by?
Watch and see the tree of life standing on both sides of the river, bearing much fruit. Look at the leaves of the tree. They can be used for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse.
This, My child, is My promise for you, your family, your city, your nation and all the peoples of the world. It is already a reality of My kingdom. Through the sacrificial death of My Son you can proclaim this heavenly reality of life in abundance, healing and restoration from sin and shame.
As you gaze upon the tree of life, hear My voice speaking life over you and into every situation you are carrying today.
Activation: Slowly read aloud Revelation 22:1-5. Ask the Holy Spirit to point out important things for you to observe right now. Continue looking into the spirit at this imagery, asking Holy Spirit to highlight how it feels, sounds, even tastes.
The Perfect Life
1 Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb (Christ),
2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 There will no longer exist anything that is cursed [because sin and illness and death are gone]; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve and worship Him [with great awe and joy and loving devotion];
4 they will [be privileged to] see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
5 And there will no longer be night; they have no need for lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign [as kings] forever and ever.
Revelation 22:1-5 (AMP)
7 He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who [a]overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will grant [the privilege] to eat [the fruit] from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.’
