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)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Voice of Hope

It is important at this time for My people to speak hope into those around them. While the atmosphere is inundated with fear and worry, My people must push this back by speaking truth and hope.

What is the hope that sustains you?

What is it that you require to feel hopeful?

Today, survey your heart honestly. Do you have hope? Do you find that you are postured in a position of hope and expectation? 

There is fresh oil for you to renew your hope and step into a deeper revelation of what it means to find your hope in Me. I am not hidden and hope must not be lost. Pick-up fresh hope today and resolve within yourself to be a voice for hope. 

Activation: Take some time to quiet yourself and ask. Once you are quiet, ask Holy Spirit to show you how hopeful you are. Ask Holy Spirit where your hope is anchored. If you find that you are struggling to feel hopeful or be in a posture of hopefulness, ask Holy Spirit for a fresh in-filling. You may need to do a process of repentance and forgiveness. Whatever the process looks like, ask Holy Spirit for strategies on being one you will be a voice of hope. 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

Romans 15:13 (AMP)

2 Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our [a]hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]. 

3 And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; 

4 and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. 

5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Romans 5:2-5 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Romans 5:2 In the NT the word “hope” expresses a cherished desire along with the confident assurance of obtaining that which is longed for.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Clear Vision

Dear Child, what obscures your vision? 

Sometimes it can be tempting to look at Me through the lens of the season you are in or the circumstances you are going through. Much like a person looking out of a rain-stained window at something outside, the image appears distorted.

Today, I would remind you that I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever. Beloved, keep your focus on Me and not that which is constantly changing. As you do, you will be amazed how quickly the light of My presence will change your perspective and any heaviness will lift! 

Activation: Invite Holy Spirit to show you any areas that are affecting your vision of God. He may show you circumstances, seasons of life that have been difficult, words spoken over you, or even people that haven’t treated you the way they should. Hand each one over to Jesus and, if He prompts you, ask for His help to forgive those who have hurt you. 

Then pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I hand to You all the things that have affected my vision of You. Will You take them, cleanse me, heal me, and lift off all heaviness. Please restore to me clear vision, naturally and spiritually, so that I am able to see You and Your perspective anew each and every day. Amen.

So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps His promises!

Hebrews 10:23 (TPT)

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; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’

Isaiah 41:10 (AMP)

Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever.

Hebrews 13:8 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Come to Meet Me

My child, when a King comes in glory, the centre of peoples’ lives are changed. When the cry goes up that the king is nearly there, almost on the doorstep, then the old order of things is scattered, and a new order emerges. The watchmen cry out, the gatekeepers fling wide the gates, and the people gather in crowds, ready to meet the king.

In the same way, My child, at this time the old centre of your spiritual life is changing. The old ways of connecting with Me are shifting and the old ways of meeting with one another are altering. Let the excitement of the season carry you on eager legs to prepare to meet with Me. As you do so, you will show those around you the way as well. Let your posture change from that of daily business, to that of coming to meet with Me.

Do not disqualify yourself, believing that you may as well stay behind. Do not let doubt undermine your hope. Instead, embrace an eager expectation of My presence. Let the excitement of the occasion fill you with joy and peace as you believe in Me! 

Activation: Tell Jesus you are readying yourself to meet with Him! Let your excitement that He is nearly here, right on the doorstep, rise up! Spend a few moments just now focusing on Him and what His coming means. Here are some questions to ask: How will you feel when He comes? How will you welcome Him? How do you want to welcome Him into this moment, right now? Once you’ve done that, can you feel His delight in you? Can you see His eyes looking at you, can you feel the kindness and excitement in His gaze?

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Revelation 3:20 (NLT)

So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

Matthew 24:33 (BSB)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Peace

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [a]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 (NKJV)

Footnotes
[a] John 16:33 NU, M omit will

Are you facing troubles, fear and or doubt? 

All you are required to do is believe and trust in Me, casting your cares to Me. I am asking you to trust that I have your life in My hands. I know it is hard to trust that My ways are always good and that where I lead you is safe, but I have made you a promise that I am trustworthy with your life. I am inviting you to come close, choosing Me as I have chosen you. Choose My peace over the fear you hold close and the chaos around you.

Choose Me to carry the heavy load of doubt that weighs you down and allow Me to shower you with My love and peace. 

Activation: Does it feel like you are stuck somehow and maybe your faith isn’t like it used to be. Are you questioning where God is and if He is even listening? If you are able, pray this prayer: Father, I accept the invitation to come close to you. I recognize my need for you. Please take the heavy cares off my shoulders and pull away the things that steal my peace. Would you help my unbelief and teach me to trust your ways. Your word tells me that when I am weak you are strong. I choose to trust you with my life.Amen.

34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?

36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”[a]) 

37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

Romans 8:34-37 (NLT)

Footnotes
[a] 8:36 Ps 44:22.
