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)
Footnotes
[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)
Footnotes

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.
[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.”

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.’

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.
