Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Time to Write

Pick up your pens – the Lord is releasing an anointing to write in this hour! As the new year dawns, allow your words to pour forth in spirit-filled golden glory, flowing from your innermost being. Free from fear and joyous in worship.

For the Lord has given you an idea, a story, a testimony to write for the world to see. He has placed beauty inside of you, victory for His Kingdom. Allow it to be birthed from the unseen to the seen, visible in black and white on the written page.

Don’t let fear from snarling voices of the enemy stop you. Release the words inside of you as an act of worship, putting God before any fear of not being enough. Pour out the words burning in your bones. Set the world alight with what God wants to say through you.

Do not worry if other books or blogs or articles or short stories have already been written. YOU are unique and your voice, your words carry something that only you can express. So beloved child of God, take courage from God and the example of Luke. Even if others have already written – it’s time to write!

3 it seemed fitting for [a]me as well, [and so I have decided] after having carefully searched out and investigated all the events accurately, from the very beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus;

4 so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been [b]taught [that is, the history and doctrine of the faith].

Luke 1:3-4 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Luke 1:3 Luke may have been a Gentile. If so, he is the only Gentile author whose work is included in the NT. In addition to The Gospel of Luke, he wrote The Acts of the Apostles, and is thought by some scholars to have been the author of The Letter to the Hebrews.

[b] Luke 1:4 Or orally instructed.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Call the Shepherd

I looked in the spirit and saw a lamb who wanted an adventure on its own. Being with the flock was one monotonous valley after another. Surely a little detour wouldn’t hurt? No one would notice its departure, for The Shepherd was far ahead and He had the whole flock to tend to.

The little lamb took its chance and left. Oh what a sense of freedom. To be away from the flock by itself. Surely it didn’t need to be afraid. This was just a quick time away from the Shepherd.

But it tripped and slipped and became tangled in awful prickly stuff that hurt every time it moved. Shame set it in and it felt so alone. But it remembered the Shepherd, the One who would come every time He was called. The One who showed His love for His sheep over and over again.

The lost lamb called and He appeared. The Shepherd knelt and unravelled the thorny bushes, speaking in that voice that warmed the heart, that voice the lamb knew. And the Shepherd led the little lamb back home.

Activation:

Have you been caught in any traps lately? We all have our temptations to wander away from God – self reliance, isolation, self pity. We need the Shepherd to come and unravel us from the snares that catch us. Call on Him for your troubles and He will come!

17 When the righteous cry [for help], the LORD hears
And rescues them from all their distress and troubles.

18 The LORD is near to the heartbroken
And He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin).

Psalm 34:17-18 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Your Memories of Me

The Spirit of the Lord says:

Come down memory lane with Me. When I look at you, I remember when you first became a dream in My heart. And I remember when you gave your heart to Me.

I dwell on what I love about you, how you have grown and continue to grow. I recall your laugh and the times you were brave and strong, even when you did not see yourself that way. How I love and delight in you because you are, and always will be, the apple of My eye.

Keep me [in Your affectionate care, protect me] as the [a]apple of Your eye;
Hide me in the [protective] shadow of Your wings

Footnotes

[a] Psalm 17:8 Lit the pupil, the daughter of the eye.



My beloved child, come down memory lane with Me. Let us walk together, every step will be taken in remembrance of Jesus, and all that His death and resurrection accomplished for you.

His testimony prophesies your breakthrough, your restoration, and your victory. Allow His testimony to overwrite your memory and become your truest reality.

Activation:

Take time to remember the testimony of Jesus in your life. Write down examples of the times the Lord came through for you in miraculous ways. Then thank Him for His goodness, and for being the one true God who will do it again and again because of who He is and because He loves you.

and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (represents) My body, which is [offered as a sacrifice] for you. Do this in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.”

1 Corinthians 11:24 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Burst Into Bloom

You are like a beautiful rose in My sight. I am coming to trim away the dead leaves, to cut off all that which is weighing you down. I am shaping you more and more into the beauty of who I have created you to be.

My beloved one, sit with Me. Allow Me to examine your heart and unveil the things that I desire you to let go of. Release Me to show you a greater depth of beauty and awe that you carry of Me.

For know that I am coming at this time to deepen your experience of Me, to increase the degree of My beauty which you carry inside. You are a carrier of My light in this world. And as you sit with Me and embrace My presence, I will mould you and further establish you upon My Word.

Come and yield yourself to Me. Allow Me to further refine you, equip you and give you the things I desire you to have and for you will rise forth, bursting into full bloom of the beauty of the rose that I have made you to be, revealing My beauty to all around you.

Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches

1“[a]I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].

John 15:1-2 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Let Me Unburden You

The Spirit of the Lord says:
Ask Me, My beloved, what you need to leave behind and what you need to carry forward with you. Don’t let habit and nostalgia hook you to the past.

I have a new way for you, a better plan. Therefore, be meek. Let Me unburden you. The future I have for you needs you to be flexible and light. Don’t cling onto the old wine skin. Be as soft and humble as clay on the potter’s wheel.

Embrace the stripping of what is superfluous, and keep that beautiful essence that I have been refining. The new is waiting for you.

Activation:

Take your time to relax in God’s presence. When you are ready, ask Holy Spirit what you should leave in 2025 without looking back. Then picture yourself leaving what He shows you at the foot of the Cross. You might even want to do a prophetic act of taking off a jacket and taking a step into what the Lord has for you.

Nor is new wine put into old [a]wineskins [that have lost their elasticity]; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the [fermenting] wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so both are preserved.”

Matthew 9:17 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Matthew 9:17 A skin was a bag made from the skin of an animal. New wine was always put in a new bag so that the bag would stretch as the wine continued to ferment, and then the bag would harden. An old bag would burst if new wine was put in it.

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A Life-Changing Discovery

    When I was just a young child, the Magi brought Me their most precious gifts. Because in the season of the longest nights, they didn’t stop searching until they found Me. And in an unexpected and uncelebrated place, the Magi made their most life-changing discovery: Me. The One whose rule and peace has still not come to an end.

    This is your portion this season – to find delight daily in Me. You will find fullness in Me, in ways and places you’ve totally not expected!

    You have been like the Magi in the story of young Jesus. You have looked for Me, seen what I am doing and where I am. Because of this your faith has become stronger. Your trust in Me has increased, to help you move forward in life decisions.

    Now, My brave one, know that My heart is still for you. As you move from one season to another, don’t stop having precious time with Me or chatting with Me throughout your day.

    Activation:

    Look for the Lord like the Magi did. Consider your story in the light of Isaiah 9:6-7 and let that build trust: what is He leading you towards in this coming season and how can you partner with Him to journey into the fullness of that?

    6 For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given;
    And the government shall be upon His shoulder,
    And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

    7 There shall be no end to the increase of His government and of peace,
    [He shall rule] on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
    To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
    From that time forward and forevermore.
    The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

    Isaiah 9:6-7 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Pursue Peace

    Many will come to lay their gifts at My altar, yet do so while holding grudges and offenses. This is not pleasing to Me, nor is a gift I will accept.

    If you want your gift to be acceptable to Me, consider with whom in the family of God you have a grievance, then go and pursue peace with them. Aim for reconciliation. Seek My way of doing things, and ask Me how I would like you to approach this.

    Start by reconciling your heart and thoughts to be in harmony with My own regarding the situation, and pursue reconciliation from that place. Move with My heart and the language that flows from My Spirit. Do not enter that moment with accusations or words born out of anger, bitterness, or hurt. Do not approach the reconciliation table expecting the worst. Place your expectation in Me alone, trusting that I will be the One to bring about reconciliation in the way I desire.

    Once you have done what I require regarding reconciliation, then return to My altar with your gift.

    So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and while there you remember that your brother has something [such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you,

    24 leave your offering there at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come and present your offering.

    Matthew 5:23-24 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Exercise Spiritual Authority

    Come up higher, stand in the gap and pray. I am calling the Body of Christ to new levels of faith-filled intercession in preparation for what is to come.  Nothing of significance in the Kingdom takes place without prayer. Ask Me to invite you into the throne room of Heaven to receive perspective and strategy for the days ahead. 

    I am exhorting My Bride to pray in ways that build and birth kingdom solutions, expose and dismantle demonic structures, and position Godly leadership on the earth. I am forming new prayer gatherings in strategic locations for those who know how to release My Word as they prophesy and pray.

    Just as in the days of Ezekiel the prophet, I am searching for those who will stand faithfully before Me and exercise authority in the spirit, so that the schemes and plans of the enemy are rightfully thwarted. So that My righteousness is advanced on the earth, transforming lives.

    Sons and Daughters – as I search, let Me find you! Do not be ones who ‘mind the gap’ but, stand in it with faith and pray!

    “I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one.

    Ezekiel 22:30 (NLT)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Get Cozy

    I see the rushing. I see the hustle. I see the to-do lists, and hear the concerns this season brings. I hear all the ‘enoughs’—will this be good enough, nice enough, will I have enough? Yet in the midst of this, I come to interrupt the busyness and frazzle of the season. I want to offer you My gift: the gift of My grace that is sufficient at all times.

    My beloved, I am drawing you into an intentional pause. Embrace moments to draw near to Me. As you do, I will draw near to you. In this season of holiday gatherings and gift-giving with those you love, include Me.

    Take intentional time to pull away from the noise. Draw near to Me so I may refresh and enliven you. My desire is to envelop you in My lovingkindness, and remind you that I am the source of life and goodness.

    No matter the situation or circumstance, I am here. So get cozy with Me. Just as you would curl up with a good book and a hot cup of tea, curl up with Me and enjoy My conversation and embrace.

    Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people].

    James 4:8 (AMP)

    Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Who Dares to Knock

    As I looked in the spirit, I smelt the comforting smell of hot, crispy potato skins and felt the warmth of a fire. The sound of knocking echoed from a door I could see. Who would dare knock? Who could possibly wish to interrupt me?

    I opened the door slowly to see my Father in heaven, His hand extended out to mine. He passed me an empty plate, and walked in. He sat at the table opposite me and looked deep into my eyes.  Although no words were exchanged, I knew in that moment that I was loved, forgiven and cherished. His smile towards me extinguished any doubt I’d ever had. It was His company that I longed for.

    The Spirit of the Lord says:

    You think you have found comfort in the warmth of your fires, in the food you eat and in the rituals you take part in. But I, the Lord, am coming to interrupt what you think you need. For none of these things will sustain you. I am inviting you to sit in My forgiveness. Taste what it is to be loved and cherished. See that I delight in you. Come, let us eat together and make plans for the days to come.

    Activation:

    Ask the Lord to show you anything in your life that is distracting you and pulling your attention away from feasting with Him. Respond to the Lord knocking at your heart and sit with Him today.

    Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me.

    Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
