Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Wonder With Me

Come be childlike with Me.

As you look over your life, what do you see? What do you hope for? What do you wonder about? Not the “what ifs,” but your deep dreams and desires? Do you wonder about a peaceful home, a marriage, or children running and playing? Do you wonder about a deeper walk with Me and more revelation of My word? I long to lavish you with all your wonderous dreams and desires. I long to open the heavens and pour out blessings, to open your mind to My kingdom and revelation more than you could ever desire. I long to bring you into a unity of faith and trust with Me that when your heart wonders in admiration of Me your desires are filled. Why would I ever withhold any good gift from you?

Call out to Me in prayer and worship Me with your whole heart. I am asking you to dream again. Don’t let the past hurt or failure hold you back from your future. Let your faith be full of Wonder. Together we will move forward.

Activation: Take some time to be still in the presence of God. Allow Him to lead you into this place of wonder with Him. Don’t be in a hurry, enjoy everything you see. Allow Him to show you dreams you have pushed way down in your heart. Allow Him to bring them to the surface and start to see it as if it has already happened. After you sit there for a while ask the Lord to show you what your part is. Do you do something, or just simply trust Him to carry it out? Obey quickly and trust the Lord and praise Him in the process. Never Stop dreaming and seeing the great Wonder of all He is.

10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted on the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Psalm 46:10-11 (KJ21)

12 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.

13 The Lord looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man;

14 From His dwelling place He looks closely
Upon all the inhabitants of the earth—

15 He who fashions the hearts of them all,
Who considers and understands all that they do.

Psalm 33:12-15 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Focus Ahead

You move in the direction of your focus.

When you focus on the past, you move away from the goal. But when you focus on what’s ahead, you see the prize, and it draws you forward.

Beloved, it’s time to take ground. Are you willing to let go of the past and turn around? If so, you’ll see the heavenly prize I have set before you.

Are you ready to take My hand and run towards it? Together, we are unstoppable.

Stay laser-focused on what’s ahead. Fight the temptation to look back no matter how hard it gets. Press on resolutely. Before long, you will reach your victory lap and see the sweet face of Jesus waiting.

Declaration:

I declare that I will not be one to focus on the past. Instead, I will focus on the prize and move forward with You, God. I will not let distraction, obstacles or stumbles stop me no matter how hard it gets. I will fix my eyes on Jesus and allow Him to motivate me all the way to the finish line. In Jesus’s name, amen!

13 [a]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Philippians 3:13 Lit Brethren.

25 Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage] and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity].

26 Consider well and watch carefully the path of your feet, and all your ways will be steadfast and sure.

Proverbs 4:25-26 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – For His Kingdom

The Spirit of the Lord says, “Gone are the days when only those with a title are asked to serve full time for My kingdom, in My kingdom. You don’t ever stop being My flock meaning that all of you are in ministry to Me and with Me wherever you are. Whatever job, study or hobbies you partake in, I call you into the wonderful realisation that from the second you submitted to Me, your creator, and received salvation you became My servant, friend, bride and lover.

You are entirely valued, young to old. Grow into Me, not copying the famous Christians of books, screen or social media, but learning the truth of Christ in you, in the hope of glory as a living reality. Only look for recognition from Me and bring your every breath under My Lordship.”

Reflection: How you view and receive these truths can negate comparison, jealousy, striving and reduce temptation to copy others instead of growing into Christ. Consider joining in this prayer: 

I agree Lord God that I am Yours, full time, every day, and I am needed and wanted and accepted as one of Your servants. Accept my offering. Thank You that I am full time for You, though in a different role to others throughout My life. I choose to banish the game of comparison and jealousy and striving in my relationships with others. Help me Lord.

23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Colossians 3:23-24 (ESV)

To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Colossians 1:27 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Enemy’s Camp

Who will go into the enemy’s camp? Who will go and listen to the evil plans they whisper? Who watches to see what is ahead, what the enemy is planning? Who will be courageous and ask of Me to show you the wiles of the enemy? 

There lies a challenge for you to not fear the enemy but to actively go out and push him back. Don’t you know I have given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions? Over all the powers of the enemy, and that nothing shall, by any means, hurt you? It is time to step into that mantle! Do not waste your time fearing an enemy that’s already defeated. Do not wonder and wait if it is the right moment to charge an attack. You are already appointed by Me to destroy his works!

My eyes are looking for those who will say ‘yes’ to going into the enemy’s camp to see and listen to what his plans are. Those who are not afraid to speak up about what they saw and set up a plan to destroy those plans by the authority given to you.

Where are My watchmen? You are all called to watch! I want to use you all, I want to speak to you all, I want to work through you all. Step up! Be the watchman, stand on the wall, and do not be afraid! For I am with you.

40 And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And He said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with Me one hour?

41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:40-41 (ESV)

Listen carefully: I have given you authority [that you now possess] to tread on [a]serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you.

Luke 10:19 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Luke 10:19 Perhaps a reference to demonic powers (spirits).

Activation: Ask and pray:

Lord, if there is any fear in me to step into my watchman position, expose it. (repent and break agreement)

Jesus, I will say yes to this call to watch with You and strategize a plan to destroy the enemy’s work.

Holy Spirit, when do You want me to watch and see? What are the moments You want me to see the enemy’s camp?

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Eager Expectation

When Paul sat in prison, writing to the Philippians, he did not despair at his circumstances. He wrote to his fellow believers:

“. . . and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:18-21, NIV) 

My people – I know that many of you feel apprehensive about the year ahead. I know that you look at the road set before you with trepidation and for some, a sense of loss. While you desire to hope, fear stops you in your tracks. I acknowledge today the wrestle you find yourself in.

It is a time, however, to rejoice despite, and indeed, in the midst, of your circumstances. Open yourself up to hope and expectancy as you place your trust in Me. It is not frivolous or irresponsible to laugh and play in times that are heavy and stretching. Find your comfort in Me, allowing Me to come close, closer than you’ve allowed Me to come before.

Remember – I am for you and I encourage you today to look at the days set before you with hope and expectancy. Let hope, peace, joy, and strength arise for I have fresh portions of each ready for you each morning. There is joy to be had in the journey if you will allow Me to shine My light upon it.

Activation: Today, ask yourself if your heart is resting in a posture of hope and expectancy or fear and trepidation. If the latter, do not be hard on yourself, but pray for an increased capacity to rest in hope and expectancy. To further partner with this Word, make the words of Nehemiah 8:10 (Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength) a declaration over your life and speak these words over yourself until you can feel the truth of them sink-in.

5 Oh, that my ways may be established
To observe and keep Your statutes [obediently accepting and honoring them]!

6 Then I will not be ashamed
When I look [with respect] to all Your commandments [as my guide].

Psalm 119:5-6 (AMP)

14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches.

15 I will meditate on Your precepts and [thoughtfully] regard Your ways [the path of life established by Your precepts].

16 I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

Psalm 119:14-16 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Blessings

My child, not one word of Mine falls to the ground without accomplishing the purpose for which I sent it. As rain falls and refreshes the earth, so My words of blessing shower down upon you. These are not just ‘raindrops’ but My ‘reign-drops’.

They speak of who I am and who you are to Me.

They speak of your identity as sons and daughters of the Living God and co-heirs to My kingdom with My precious Son, Jesus!

Today, look out for My blessings. Catch My ‘reign-drops’ as they are released into your day. Allow them to shift your perspective from your situation to My solution, challenges to worship, the mundane to the supernatural and from looking down to looking up.

Today I want to bless you and refresh you with My goodness, for I am your Heavenly Father and every good and perfect gift comes from Me.

Activation:

For a moment, turn your thoughts to yesterday. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the blessings He placed in your life on that day and thank Him for them. Allow your perspective to change from any difficulties that you went through to what God was doing in it.

A Prayer for Today:

Dear Father God, would you open my eyes to see the blessings that You are placing in the day that lies ahead of me. As I worship You and thank You for all You do, would You change my perspective & focus from how I see things to how You see them? Would You refresh me with Your goodness and release supernatural solutions into my circumstances? Today I choose to receive and align myself with all You have for me. Amen.

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.

10 “For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, making it bear and sprout, and providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

11 So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:9-11 (AMP)

And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMP)

For if by the trespass of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one (Adam), much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:17 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Bold Communication

Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me,

“Behold (hear Me), I have put My words in your mouth.

Jeremiah 1:9 (AMP)

My Child,

I have placed words within you which need to be spoken. Spoken in love, wisdom, kindness, compassion; spoken in ways which reflect the true and full nature of who I am.

Do not be afraid to talk about the “hard things” in life. Even conversations of correction and discipline can be done in a way which brings freedom and deeper levels of connection. To talk about “hard things” brings light to darkness and freedom from heaviness.

I do acknowledge that this is not always easy or comfortable. Bold communication requires bravery, but I encourage you today to speak the words I have given you to be spoken. For it is My heart to see My people shaped into bold communicators. People who can speak the truth in a way which beautifully reflects Me, bringing life and abundance wherever the truth is spoken. Do not allow yourself to keep the words I give you unsaid, laying dormant within. Trust Me to carry you through – to fill your mouth with choice words which shift people into alignment with Me, speaking life into every situation.

Activation: Ask yourself today, “Am I afraid to speak?” Whatever your answer, spend some time processing this with Holy Spirit. If needed, break off all fear in this area by repenting, breaking all partnership with fear, and asking for a fresh infilling of courage. Next, ask Holy Spirit if there are any important conversations that need to be had. Ask for courage and wisdom to have these conversations.

The Excellence of Love

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not [a]love [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction].

1 Corinthians 13:1 (AMP)

For the Lord gives [skillful and godly] wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:6 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – No Doubt

My people, 

You are here and alive now because I ordained that. Your time is now, not one hundred years ago. You are ‘this generation,’ whatever your age, and I called you with a holy calling from pre-birth to now and onwards into eternity. Do not doubt your worth or your value. You are not on your own; you are joined with Me, knitted together with believers around the globe.

Take action, My people, to strengthen yourselves and others, bringing My words into your lives, situations and atmospheres. Choose to declare the greatness of My character and power, to yourself and to others, finding new words to praise and adore Me. Speak gracious truth over yourself in loving kindness, claiming My ‘logos’ written word and My Rhema Spirit-revealed word as I respond to you when seeking Me.

Activation: Join in now and vocalise what God says in the bible, by the Spirit, and through others as a victory strategy in your life. Speak to your soul to live in the truth of what God says. For example: ‘I was born for these times’ and ‘He began a good work in me will bring it to completion’. (Philippians 1:6)

26 And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,

27 that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward Him and find Him. Yet He is actually not far from each one of us,

Acts 17:26-27 (ESV)

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweet and delightful to the soul and healing to the body.

Proverbs 16:24 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Lily of the Valley

My Dear One, you are My lily of the valley, My lily among the thorns. As you have journeyed through valleys of difficulty and navigated tough terrain for My name’s sake, you have brought so much light in the darkness, for you carry My Spirit wherever you go!

At times, it has been hard for you to see yourself as I do. The residue of tough times has left you feeling worn out, exhausted, misunderstood, and unloved. I want to remind you that My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are My ways your ways.

Do you know that you are altogether beautiful to Me? In the same way a lily of the valley graces a bridal bouquet as a symbol of hope, so are you part of My bride, My ecclesia, My church.

Today, will you draw near to Me and let Me show you a fresh view of yourself? Will you allow Me to wash away the residue of tough roads travelled, bathe your wounds, and heal your heart? For I am Jehovah Rapha, the One who delights to heal you.

Activation:

1. Take a moment and ask Holy Spirit to show you any areas where you have wounds that need healing. Then invite Him to heal them and spend some time resting in His presence allowing Him to minister to you. You may find it helpful having worship music on.

2. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring to mind any areas where you are not seeing yourself as He does. Jot them down in a list. Ask Him to show you what the truth is about how He sees you. For each area on your list, jot down what He reveals to you. He may give you a verse or show you a picture in your mind of how He sees you. If He does, you can either draw a picture or write what you see. Then, take the paper with you all day and read it often to remind yourself of His perspective.

God Implored to Confound His Enemies.

A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

5 For they have conspired together with one mind; against You they make a covenant—

6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

8 Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm [of strength] to them. Selah.

Psalm 83:5-8 (AMP)

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

Isaiah 55:8 (AMP)

The Bride’s Admiration

1 “I am the rose [of the plain] of Sharon, the lily of the valleys [that grows in deep places].”

(The Bridegroom)

2 “Like the lily among the thorns,
So are you, my darling, among the maidens.”

(The Shulammite Bride)

3 “Like an apple tree [rare and welcome] among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men! In his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet and delicious to my palate.

4 “He has brought me to his banqueting place, and his banner over me is love [waving overhead to protect and comfort me].

Song of Solomon 2:1-4 (AMP)
