Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Come Unto Me

My child,
The wind of My Spirit is pushing you gently but steadily into the new. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Take My hand and I will lead you to untrodden ground, a land that I have prepared for you even before knitting you into your mother’s womb.
Don’t you fret. It’s one step at a time until your feet will walk firmly on the Rock. And as you walk without turning back, you will see a new landscape unfold. It’s the land of the living, the land of hope, the land of provision, the place that you have dreamt about and asked for. So just come with Me, trusting that I AM the way and I won’t let you down.
Activation: Put on some soft worship music. As you stay in God’s presence, picture yourself hand in hand with Jesus. Look around, and with your sanctified imagination, see where you are. What type of scenery is it? Where are you? Feel the solid ground under your feet, smell the air. Do you hear the sound of waves or the chirping of birds in the woods? Ask Jesus where he is taking you and ask him to help you not to look back.
For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13 (AMP)
But Lot’s wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:26 (NLT)
‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;
Isaiah 41:10 (AMP)
I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Gear Shift

Has it felt like you’ve been stuck in a rut recently?
As if you are unable to go any further, stuck in the same old patterns?
Don’t despair, My child.
Be prepared to steer away from the dirt track as I am taking you back out on the highway. I am pulling you out of old traditions. I am breaking you out of the debilitating routine, and releasing the wheels from spinning in the mud.
There is a turn coming.
It may feel like a backward step initially, but it will pivot you towards the new direction I am calling you to go.
You are getting the thrill back, and the exuberance of being on the road again. The pace will pick up and it may feel scary at first, but you are ready for it. Be aware of My presence right next to you and listen out for My clear directions. I will show you how to keep in step with Me. You will finally be able to shift gears as you pursue the journey.
Activation: Take a moment to write down patterns or old methods you feel stuck in. Then write down what change you’d like to see. Ask God to help you to trust that He will bring these changes to pass. If there is fear of leaving the old, confess it to the Lord and ask Him for increased boldness to step out.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)
Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble in dread before them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or abandon you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Forward Trajectory

Beloved one,
You showed dedication to your growth, so I called you out from the nest. Oh the faith it took for you to leap! You pushed past fear and now look at you soar! This is what you dreamed of night after night. Now, I get to marvel at you flying high in the open sky.
You have longed to be in this place, and the freedom feels amazing! However, the temptation will be to fly back to the nest when times get tough.
Precious one, fight the temptation to regress. Fight it at all costs.
I did not bring you out for you to regress back to a place you have outgrown. I have you on a forward trajectory. You must hold on tight to your progress and keep pressing forward into the new. I want to keep taking you higher and higher. But, I can only do that if you stay strong.
You can do it. You overcome with Jesus.
Break patterns of regression by rising up in your authority. Don’t go back to what was comfortable.
Fly against the wind to make you stronger for the more. If you do, I will see to it that you reach heights beyond what you’ve ever hoped or imagined.
Activation:
Take an account of your life. Do you notice a pattern of regression in any area, such as your freedom, relationships, work, ministry, family or finances? If so, ask the Lord to expose what causes the regression and reveal how to overcome it. You overcome by pressing forward with Jesus instead of retreating with the enemy in the difficult moments. Then, watch as the Lord breaks you past barriers and takes you higher than you’ve ever been before for an amazing and freedom-filled adventure
18 “Do not remember the former things, or ponder the things of the past.
19 “Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it?
Isaiah 43:18-19 (AMP)
I will even put a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.
but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Live Unburdened

My child,
What wonder there is for you to enjoy! While there is much concern and heaviness in the world’s atmosphere, remember that you can live above it! You are seated with Christ at My right hand. Remember the authority you carry and position yourself accordingly. You can know My timing and recognize the seasons without becoming burdened and undone.
Indeed! While there is much challenge and heartache, I would have you focused on the wonder of My Kingdom, pulling people up high with you!
Take the stance of a victor, a conqueror! Posture yourself in wondrous awe and joyful gratitude as you remember that you have the victory.
While the world’s circumstances may weigh upon you, remember who it is that dwells within you. Let your spirit lead you through your days as you find your security in Me. For as you dwell upon that truth and step into the fullness of the authority I have bestowed upon you, you will find yourself shaking the darkness and shining a light of hope upon those who need it most.
Activation: Turn to Ephesians 1:15-22. First, read these verses over yourself as a declaration and move into a time of prayer as Holy Spirit leads. Next, ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind someone who you can pray for. Again, using Ephesians 1:15-22 as a guide, spend time praying and decreeing over their life.
15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers;
17 [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son].
18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the [a]hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the [b]saints (God’s people),
19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength
20 which He [c]produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come.
22 And He [d]put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and [e]appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church,
Ephesians 1:15-22 (AMP)

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.

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)
