Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Awakening Faith

You may have felt a decline in your level of faith recently.

The obstacles in your way have not moved and the strength of your faith has weakened.

You have wondered when a breakthrough will come.

Take courage.

I am about to step in and change things around.

I will cause a new strength to rise up within you and your decrees will have a solid determination. I will take your feeble heart and exchange it with fresh vigour and a resolve to not let the enemy get the upper hand.

You are the head and not the tail. I will stir up supernatural faith within you – faith that can move mountains.

Take back what the enemy has stolen by speaking and declaring in faith what I put on your heart to declare. Then you will watch the wall in front of you start to crumble brick by brick. I have confidence in you. Expect angels to stir up new levels of faith in you each day.

Faith for the impossible!

Activation:

Ask God to show you an area where your faith may have decreased. Faith for your family, work, ministry, or finances, for example. Begin to declare God’s word over that area. Use scripture to decree the truth, and ask God to increase your faith so you can contend for the breakthrough you need.

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.

¹⁵And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.
1 John 5:14-15 (ESV)

⁵The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith [our ability to confidently trust in God and in His power].”

⁶And the Lord said, “If you [a]have [confident, abiding] faith in God [even as small] as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree[which has very strong roots], ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea’; and [if the request was in agreement with the will of God] it would have obeyed you.
Luke 17:5-6 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Luke 17:6 Jesus used this moment to emphasize that a person’s confident, abiding faith combined with God’s will and power can produce absolutely amazing results. God is fully capable of doing that which man regards as impossible (Mark 14:36; James 4:3).

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Faith that Moves Mountains

Beloved, I see your struggles, hardships and unfair circumstances. They feel like mountains you can’t seem to move past, and you’re beginning to lose hope.

Am I not the Creator of the entire universe? Do I not sit at the top with all power and authority? Are you not My child whom I want to see triumph?

Please don’t believe the lie that you are stuck with no way out. You are seated with Me, giving you access to all of My power and solutions.

Let the truth of this rise up in you.

Step into the level of faith where you can look at any mountain and roar, “My God is bigger! Now, move out of my way.” Then watch the mountain tremble and cast itself into the sea.

This is the faith that moves mountains and the faith I want you to walk in. When you do, no longer will mountains be an impossible obstacle for you, but you will become an unstoppable force against them.

Prayer:

Father, thank you for helping me see the truth that YOU are bigger than my problems. I repent for thinking otherwise. I choose to shift my sight back to You, restoring my mountain-moving faith. Help me live in such a way that I become unstoppable to the enemy because of You in me.

In Jesus’s name, Amen.

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?”
Jeremiah 32:27 (AMP)

22 Jesus replied, “Have faith in God [constantly].

23 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and [a]does not doubt in his heart [in God’s unlimited power], but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him [in accordance with God’s will].
Mark 11:22-23 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Mark 11:23 Jesus used this moment to emphasize to the disciples that a person’s confident, abiding faith combined with God’s power can produce absolutely amazing results, if the request is in harmony with God’s will. God is fully capable of doing that which man regards as impossible (cf 14:36; James 4:3).

If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Listen to Hope

My dear church, the enemy has been playing mind games with you, angling to steal your joy and rob you of your hope and future.

Do you hear it in the atmosphere around you?

“Did God really say _____ ?”

“Do you think God really cares for you?”

“Did you really receive your healing/forgiveness/deliverance?”

The enemy knows that hope deferred is damaging to the soul and makes the heart sick. He knows that if he can make you doubt My promises, then it will steal your joy, rob you of your future, and kill your confidence.

You must learn to know the difference between the voice of doubt and the voice of hope. Listen to hope today and find yourself aligning with fresh expectation!

Activation: Stand up today and declare statements of hope over yourself such as:

“I will stand on the promises of God as they are Yes and Amen!”

“I am fearfully and wonderfully made!”

“The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?”

“I am raised up with Christ and seated with him in heavenly places and my Lord and saviour loves me with an everlasting love.”

O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with Him is plentiful redemption.
Psalm 130:7 (ESV)

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;^[a]His mercies never come to an end;

²³they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Choose Wisdom

You have full access to My wisdom.

Despite the storms that rage about you or the gusts of wind that shake you, I will provide all that you need to securely navigate through. Allow the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to flow within you, for it is available to you!

Wisdom is not the serious, sombre thing you think of. Operating from My wisdom bring joy and release. It releases you from carrying unnecessary burdens and relying upon your own strength. The rhythm of wisdom is spritely, directing and encouraging you in the ways you should go. Learn to recognize and operate from My spirit of wisdom. Receive today a fresh in-filling of wisdom, for it will hold you in the to-and fro of these coming days.

Activation: Ask Holy Spirit to show you a picture of yourself interacting with the Spirit of Wisdom. Pay attention to how it feels to have this interaction. What does it look like? From this interaction, go into a time of prayer, asking for a fresh impartation of wisdom.

9 So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of His will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.

10 Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.
Colossians 1:9-10 (NLT)

He will raise a flag among the nations and assemble the exiles of Israel. He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Synced

I would remind you today that I am the only one who will satisfy your every need. Will you sync your heart up with mine? And in doing so, will you receive My heart for you? Mine is a heart that can be trusted for I take great delight in you.

You are a new creation – the old ways are gone.

Stop and listen to My heart beating for you. Will you allow our hearts to beat as one?

Activation: Today, ask the Lord to show you His heart for you. Spend time thanking Him for His love and delight. If there are any areas of your heart where you are afraid to let Him in, ask for a “reset” in that area so your hearts may be synced together.

The dogs have a mighty appetite; they never have enough. But they are shepherds who have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain, one and all.
Isaiah 56:11 (ESV)

He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Kingdom Hearted

My children, I am extending your insight into what it really means to be part of My Kingdom. To date, you have had some awareness, but I’m increasing your understanding and experience.

I’m showing you what it means to be Kingdom sons and daughters. To operate on earth as Kingdom ambassadors. To speak into situations, to make declarations, to command a change in the atmosphere with Kingdom boldness, loving compassion, authority and joy.

In this season, I’m causing others to not only sense there is something different but to see a transformation, to hear a change, to recognise my presence, my love and my confidence within you. You will have a stirring in your heart and perceive that I am moving you to action. Your heart will be so aligned with My heart that you will increasingly feel what I feel, sense what I sense and have a knowing that comes from Me. You will become more attuned to My voice and hear My word with greater clarity and frequency. It will feel natural; as natural as Kingdom children speaking and listening to their Kingdom father.

Consider Peter and John in Acts 3. At a time of prayer, they were heading towards the temple. While on the way there, a lame man was also going in the same direction. He was being carried to the gate called Beautiful in front of the temple where he would beg for money. This was a common practice for him. The scriptures say he was lame from birth. Peter and John did not give him money but spoke words of healing over him. As Kingdom children, your words will set others free.

Ministry in Galilee

And He went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people [demonstrating and revealing that He was indeed the promised Messiah].
Matthew 4:23 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Opportunity

Beloved,

You have been faithful in your season of waiting, and this faithfulness pleases Me. In quiet obscurity, you have been faithful to build what I have placed in your hands to steward without despising your small beginnings.

I see how you steadfastly seek My presence in the secret place and prioritise My wisdom, understanding, and counsel above all else. Your heart has been willing and obedient to My words; I have seen how you put My instructions into action without grumbling or complaining. You have been diligently preparing, and now comes the time when your preparedness meets opportunity.

I am opening doors this season, doors for your next. Look up! Elevate your sight and fix your gaze on what I am showing you. Stay focused on My plans and My words and do not allow yourself to get distracted. Some of the doors that will open are time-sensitive, so you must move at the speed of My instruction to you. Stay watchful, remain attentive, and listen for My voice.

Activation:

Write down a declaration of commitment, such as, “I will move at the speed of God’s instruction,” and keep it in a place where you will see it regularly and decree it daily. This will serve as a reminder to stay watchful and attentive to God’s leading.

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin…
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
Isaiah 1:19 (ESV)

The Throne Room of Heaven

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
Revelation 4:1 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Reflections

My Child, what do you see when you look at yourself?

People reflect many different things, including, the situations they have faced, the emotions they feel, words that have been spoken to them, the people they spend the most time with and even the environment they are most in.

All these influences can make it harder to see yourself through My eyes. You see, you are dearly loved Children of God, made in My image to carry My glory. In the same way that your image is distorted when you look at yourself in disturbed water, so your perception of your true identity can become unclear, especially if the choices you are making are not in line with My will for you. This is why it is so important to follow Me, so that we can spend quality time together. I will lead you beside still waters, where you can see your true image clearly and I will restore your soul. Here you can hand Me all that holds you back and rest in the knowledge of My love for you.

Activation:

Take a moment with Holy Spirit and ask Him if there is anything that is affecting how you see yourself. Are there any choices/priorities that need to change, or any words that people have said that you need to stop agreeing with? Ask if there is anything that you need to do differently.
Prayer to Pray: Dear Father God, please would You help me make any changes I need to so that I can see myself as You do and walk in my God-given identity. I hand to You all that has held me back….(insert any area He has shown you) and I choose now to follow You and agree with how You see me. Today, please lead me beside still waters and restore my soul. Amen

¹⁸But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as ^[b]by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV)

¹ The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want.

²He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.

³He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Truth

Beloved, what is Truth? Society believes there are many ways and truths, all of which lead to life. Consequently, those I lovingly created put their trust in a multitude of things, from political parties, philosophies and statues, to their own intellect! This grieves My Heart.

Rather than experiencing peace, people ultimately find confusion, anxiety, and disappointment. Like a building constructed without using a plumb line to make the walls straight, what is built in their life becomes crooked and vulnerable to life’s storms. If they rely on it for shelter, It can cause hurt to themselves and others. This is why it is vitally important that you tell people how much I dearly love them. If you remain silent, they will fill the space in their life that is meant for Me with someone or something else. My heart is for no one to be lost! I long for a relationship with every person so that they can enjoy a life full of blessings and eternal life!

You see, I AM Jesus, Father God’s only Son. I AM The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. The Bible explains who I AM. I died on the cross and rose again so that all mankind could be forgiven and have abundant life. I AM The Truth and the only one who can set people free! So do not remain silent! Today, tell those I have placed around you about Me!

Activation: Ask Jesus if there is anyone He wants you to talk to about Him today. If He brings someone to mind, pray for boldness and an opportunity to speak to them. Then step out and share your faith with them.

For God So Loved the World

“For God so loved the world,[a] that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (ESV)
Footnotes
[a] John 3:16 Or For this is how God loved the world

18 Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Disguises

My dear child, I have plans for you that I’ve prepared for you to walk in, and these plans are good. I desire to see you live in the fulfilment of the promises that I have spoken to you. So, I caution you to be watchful as the devil is always roaming about, seeking whom he can devour. His schemes are sneaky and, in these days, they are increasingly subtle. Although some of his methods may be obvious, others are extremely deceptive. But I am not ignorant of his ways or schemes. Draw close to Me and seek My counsel so that you are not deceived.

In this season, when doors of great opportunity are opening, it is important to remember that you need My wisdom to discern which doors have been opened for you and who has opened them. My doors lead to promise and life; The enemy’s doors may look good, but they are distractions in disguise. These false doors are sent to delay. Therefore, remain in My counsel as you move ahead.

By My Spirit, you will know which doors I have opened for you and which pitfalls the enemy has planned for you so that you won’t be easily deceived. Always seek My counsel so that you will know which door is which.

Activation:

Take a moment to reflect and consider the doors of opportunity that are presenting themselves to you.

Are there any that you are uncertain about? Write these down in your journal. Now, spend some time with the Holy Spirit in prayer with these specific points:

– Ask God to reveal His wisdom to you regarding each opportunity.

– Ask the Lord for increased discernment to recognize distractions and deceptive paths.

– Seek God’s counsel on the decisions you need to make, committing each one to Him.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8 (NLT)

5 Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

6 [a]In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord [with reverent awe and obedience] and turn [entirely] away from evil.
Proverbs 3:5-7 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Proverbs 3:6 One of the ancient rabbis said that all the essence of the Torah (Law) depends on this verse.
