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.
[b] 6:16 Greek the evil one.

For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,

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.”

Matthew 19:26 (AMP)

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.’

Revelation 2:7 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Spiritual Build-Up

Beloved, it is time to be built up in the Spirit. 

I want My people to move in power and precision, being sharp and activated in preparation for the times ahead.  I want you to desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit for these will continually strengthen and equip you for the days ahead. I will give you them in great measures this season. I am building My body up in Me to go forth as a strong army, mighty in Me. Therefore, desire the gifts, ask Me for them, and I will give you them enthusiastically and in great measures!

Activation: First, take a moment to read 1 Corinthians 12 and ask Holy Spirit to highlight the gifts that He would like you desire or to be sharpened in.  Write them down then also add the gift/s you would like to have, then pray this prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank you that you give good gifts to Your children. I ask You to give me the gift of …(insert gift/s)… . and help me to grow in ….(insert gift/s)…. I ask to receive them in great measures, in Jesus name, Amen.

Believe in faith that you have received them and watch how God grows these gifts in your life!

7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit [the spiritual illumination and the enabling of the Holy Spirit] for the common good. 

8 To one is given through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] the message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] the word of knowledge and understanding according to the same Spirit; 

9 to another [wonder-working] faith [is given] by the same [Holy] Spirit, and to another the [extraordinary] gifts of healings by the one Spirit; 

10 and to another the working of [a]miracles, and to another prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people], and to another discernment of spirits [the ability to distinguish sound, godly doctrine from the deceptive doctrine of man-made religions and cults], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. 

11 All these things [the gifts, the achievements, the abilities, the empowering] are brought about by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, distributing to each one individually just as He chooses.

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] 1 Corinthians 12:10 i.e. wonderful events or occurrences beyond human capability which manifest the supernatural power of God and fulfill His purpose.

9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will [instead] give him a stone? 

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will [instead] give him a snake?

11 If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him.

Matthew 7:9-11 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Slipstream

Beloved, I see the many pulls on your heart, and I hear the noise surrounding you. There are so many loud and confusing cries clamouring for your attention.  Don’t get caught up in those for they will rob you of My best. I am calling you to tune out all of that, and tune into My voice. Turn your thoughts and your heart towards Me, because I am longing to lead you into greater measures of My presence. 

My Bride, I have rivers of living water for you, the rivers of my rest. Focus on Me alone and follow My leading by the slipstream of My Spirit, into greater depths of freedom and favour. There are stretches of My water before you that are pure and clear. Step deeper into My lead, and you will experience more of My presence. I am right here waiting for you.

Activation: Imagine yourself intentionally turning away from all of the demands that are upon you, and focusing on following Jesus.  He is leading you into the slipstream of His Spirit. Thank Him that you are increasingly being filled and surrounded by Him, that His water level is rising, …as He is inviting you deeper and deeper into experiencing His presence.

Water from the Temple

Then he [my guide] brought me back to the door of the house [the temple of the Lord]; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house (temple) toward the east, for the front of the temple was facing east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. 

2 Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate by the way of the gate that faces east. And behold, water was spurting out from the south side [of the gate].

3 When the man went out toward the east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water that was ankle-deep. 

4 Again he measured a thousand [cubits] and led me through the water, water that was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand [cubits] and led me through the water, water reaching the hips. 

5 Again he measured a thousand [cubits]; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen, enoughwater to swim in, a river that could not be crossed [by wading].

Ezekiel 47:1-5 (AMP)

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom].

2 Corinthians 3:17 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Total Surrender

I am a jealous God who longs for a heart that is passionately devoted and surrendered to Me, embracing My authority and letting Me lead.

When you came to faith in Me, did you invite Me into your heart as someone who would help you live your life your way or did you surrender all to Me? 

Do you feel the emptiness and lack in your relationship with Me and long for more, or are you experiencing fullness, abundance, and life?

I am calling you out from this dry and worldly counterfeit into the fulness of relationship with Me. It’s time to yield your whole self and life to Me. I’m calling you to invite Me to be in charge of your life – fully your Master and Lord.

My grace is with you as you step into the death of your old self and move into resurrection life in Christ Jesus – life in all its fullness.

Activation:

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you all the areas of your life where God is not fully in charge and say sorry for holding on to control over your life. Surrender every part of your life, inviting Jesus to be fully in charge and to direct you in all your ways from here onwards.

By faith, step forward into a life of following His lead and put your hands out to receive His fullness.

4 You adulteresses [disloyal sinners—flirting with the world and breaking your vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend [that is, loving the things of the world] is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 

5 Or do you think that the Scripture says to no purpose [a]that the [human] spirit which He has made to dwell in us lusts with envy? 

6 But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].”

James 4:4-6 (AMP)

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 [a]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 andopenly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Philippians 2:10 All intelligent beings in the universe, whether saved or unsaved, whether in spirit or as mortal mankind, will acknowledge Him.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – True Love

Those who seek Me wholeheartedly, with everything in them never go away empty-handed.

They do find Me.

I long to share with all My children the plans that involve them, but that requires My children to recognize that they sometimes fall out of step with My best for them. Many walk through life believing they are walking in My will. I want to revolutionise how they walk with Me.

I seek justice.

I seek truth.

I seek obedience.

But oh how I seek love, for I AM love! 

And when you find yourself swimming in the fullness of My love, the anger and disappointment floats away.

Seek My face as I seek your heart and let My love wash you into fresh clarity and depth of understanding. 

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to help you identify anyone who has wronged you and where you still need to give forgiveness. As He names people, bless them and release God’s love into their lives.

The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:8 (NASB)

Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8 (NASB)

For My hand made all these things,
So all these things came into being,” declares the Lord. “But I will look to this one, at one who is humble and contrite in spirit, and who trembles at My word.

Isaiah 66:2b (NASB)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Worship the King

My child,

What do you worship in your life? What are your heart’s desires? What is your first and your last thought of the day? I long to be the One that you worship. I long to be the One you run to when you face difficult situations, when you feel hopeless and lonely or when you feel overwhelmed. Come into My presence and worship Me. 

The enemy is out to steal your time, to distract you from worshipping Me. Worshipping other gods doesn’t just mean you bow down to wooden idols. Everything and everyone you put before Me is an idol. However you set your priorities, remember you will ultimately worship somebody.

Beware of the many distractions the world offers you. 

I am a zealous God and I long for true worshippers. Worshipping Me means having your eyes locked on Mine. Worshipping Me means you trust My ways, will follow My lead, leaning on My strength, and asking Me for the answers you need.

Activation:

Examine your heart. Write a list of all the things that are important to you. Then sit with Jesus and ask Him to help you understand and order your priorities.

“You shall have no other gods before Me.

Exodus 20:3 (AMP)

But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit[from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.

John 4:23 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Authority

Beloved, today I stand before you to remind you of the precious gift of authority that I have given you. It rests in My nail pierced hands. Will you take hold of it afresh and use it for My glory? Will you refuse to listen to the enemy’s lies that you are not worthy enough to use it or that it is not yours to keep? 

For the truth is you are My special treasure! You are more precious to Me than My own life, hand-crafted in love, exquisite in design, unique and intricately planned. You are chosen especially to bring My kingdom to the earth as they are in heaven! You are sons and daughters of the Kings of Kings and warriors of the God of the Angel Armies! So today, be encouraged!

Do not fear but take heart! For I have given you authority over all the powers of the enemy! 

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit if there are any areas in your life where you are not standing in your God-given authority and why this is. Then place your hands out in front of you, ready to receive all God has for you, and pray this prayer: 

Dear Lord Jesus, I repent for the times I haven’t taken up my authority in you. I hand you now all the areas that I have struggled in (insert what Holy Spirit showed you). Please would you come and hand me afresh all the authority you designed me to carry and full revelation of what this means in my life. I choose to receive it now with all my heart. Amen. 

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

Luke 10:19 (ESV)

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Matthew 16:19 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Laid Bare

In the previous season I brought you to a place of deep surrender, calling you to your knees and asking for a complete ‘yes’ to Me. It blessed My heart to hear your heartfelt cries and full conviction that you were ‘all in’ for Me.

But now I am requiring you to be laid bare. 

The surrender of the previous season now needs to make way for the deepening abandonment of a spirit spilled out before Me. Your desire to surrender to Me at all costs has led to your pure heart. But you must still pursue purity. You are set apart. But you must still long for holiness.

The place of surrender brought you to your knees, but now I require you to keep being relentless in your vulnerability in Me.

For it is only in this place that I can continue to strip away the influences of the world that remain, creating in you an undivided heart that unashamedly beats for Me.

Activation: Ask God to bring you back to the moment when you fully surrendered your ‘yes’ to him. Remember how it felt to be on your knees before Him. Now ask Holy Spirit to widen, stretch, and deepen that ‘yes.’ Watch as that ‘yes’ is laid out fully on the ground in front of you. What does that look like? What is that deeper requirement of being laid bare that the Lord is asking of you in this season?

And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.

Hebrews 4:13 (AMP)

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.

Psalm 51:16-17 (AMP)
