Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – My Ambassadors

I have called you to be separate. I have called you to be My people, to stand out, not to blend in. You are My representatives on earth, in word and deed. You have been faithful in handling a few things, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Receive the upgrade I am giving you.

Allow your light to shine before men. Don’t hold back. Will you step into the role of being My ambassador for life? A permanent representative in a foreign land. I am calling you to be protectors and stewards of My creation. To spread the fragrance of My love and My compassion. To distribute My blessing to all and to serve wholeheartedly no matter what you may come up against. As a result, you will receive My complete protection and an increase of territory. Your sphere of influence will widen and stretch beyond what you could imagine.

Prayer:

Father, today I renew my servant commitment to you. I ask for forgiveness for the times I have not represented you well. Thank you for setting me apart. Please help me to live a life where I stand out and become an agent for Jesus Christ here on earth. Help me to make this a lifelong commitment as I promote the Gospel with words and actions. In Jesus name. Amen.

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT)

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Boundary Lines

I know that you have felt a stretching within you in this season.

You have felt Me drawing attention to those parts deep within you that are in conflict with the best that I have for you. I am allowing you to feel this stretching, for it will lead to a separation. A separation within you from the worth and values you find from this world, to the identity and authority that you have in Me.

For now, I am drawing boundary lines within you. Just as in the beginning, I separated the light from the darkness, and separated the waters; so I will separate the light and dark within you. That which comes from above, and that which comes from below.

At that separation point, I will draw My boundary lines. This is not something meant to restrict or contain you; for the boundary line between sea and sky becomes the horizon. And from the horizon, the sun will rise. From this separation within you, you will rise and shine. No longer divided of heart – but boundaried into freedom.

Activation: Ask the Holy Spirit to draw attention to those areas in your life that He wants to separate out. Give Him full permission to complete the separation process, and to draw the boundary lines within you; a boundary between the values that you hold from this world and the identity and authority you have in Him. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the sun rising from your boundary line. What areas of freedom is it illuminating in your life now?

3 And God said, [a]“Let there be light”; and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good (pleasing, useful) and [b]He affirmed and sustained it; and God separated the light [distinguishing it] from the darkness.

5 And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was [c]evening and there was [d]morning, one day.

6 And God said, “Let there be an [e]expanse [of the sky] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [below the expanse] from the waters [above the expanse].”
Genesis 1:3-6 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Genesis 1:3 This is not in the imperative mood (the ordinary grammatical form for a command), but God willed these creative events into existence. It is the voluntative mood in Hebrew. This translates, “It is My will that this happen.” English does not have the voluntative mood, which includes the jussive and cohortative forms. When “let” is used in this way, it represents a command not in the imperative mood, but rather an expression of God’s will, the jussive form. God literally commanded (willed) the world into existence.
[b] Genesis 1:4 “He affirmed and sustained it” is understood (deduced) from the context. The italic “and” alerts the reader or student of Hebrew that the word or words that follow are amplifications not found in the Hebrew text itself, but implied by it or by contextual factors.
[c] Genesis 1:5 The Hebrew word translated “evening” indicates dusk or sunset.
[d] Genesis 1:5 The Hebrew word translated “morning” indicates the time when it is getting light (dawn).
[e] Genesis 1:6 Or a firmament.

“He has inscribed a circular limit (the horizon) on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
Job 26:10 (AMP)

“Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your healing (restoration, new life) will quickly spring forth; Your righteousness will go before you [leading you to peace and prosperity], the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:8 (AMP)

God Wants To Restore And Redeem You! It Doesn’t Matter What You Have Done Or Where You’ve Been

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Prepare

My Dear One,

There are times in your life when it has felt as if you are ‘circling the mountain,’ travelling repeatedly the same worn paths and facing the same circumstantial scenery. Your heart has been undivided and focused on Me, however, your situation has caused you to wonder if you made a mistake and mis-heard My voice.

Today, consider Joseph. I called him to be a national leader at seventeen, but this was not his first role. His brothers sold him into slavery, yet I surrounded him with favour. Although hard, Joseph learnt to trust that My ways were above his, and stayed faithful to Me despite his circumstances. One night, he was given the opportunity to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams. In one day, he went from prisoner to Pharaoh’s right hand. Through faith in Me, he emerged from captivity fully prepared to step into his purpose.

So today, Beloved, do not be afraid! Place your hand in mine and trust, for I will work all things to ensure you are fully prepared and victorious in your God-given purpose!

Activation:

Reflect with Holy Spirit on your life so far. Ask Him to reveal instances where God has sovereignly worked in your life and thank Him for them. Then pray this prayer:

Dear Lord, I choose today to trust You, even when it isn’t clear to me what You are doing. I recognize that You are All Knowing and Your ways are not my ways. I place my hand in Yours and choose to follow You fully as You lead me victoriously into my God-given purpose! Amen.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 (ESV)

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day].
Genesis 50:20 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – No Greater Love

I sent My only begotten Son, Jesus, to the earth. He was the most radiant, precious and unblemished lamb. He came with the greatest plan known to man and remained sinless to carry it out. Then, on the appointed day, He willingly laid down His life as the ultimate sacrifice. He took the curse of sin and death upon Him, paying for your sin so you wouldn’t have to. He rose again and conquered death so you could live forever. He ascended into heaven so My Spirit could come upon you. Soon, He will return to wipe away every tear and reign as your perfect King.

What a gift. There is no greater love than this. Because of all Jesus did, now you have the keys to freedom, eternal hope, and a future.

My hope as your Father is that you would honour Jesus’s sacrifice in all you do.

Stay in remembrance of His sacrifice with gratitude and worship. Step into all He died to give you. Walk with Him, and let Him transform you.

Love and lead people to Him. Live from a place of victory knowing everything that comes against you has already been defeated at the cross.

Activation: As an act of worship, read Philippians 2:1-18. Assess your heart and ask the Lord to transform you into Christ’s image. Then, honour Jesus’s sacrifice by loving like He did and sharing about Him so others may be saved and share in the rewards of sonship.

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] [a]only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] John 3:16 Jesus, God’s only Son, the One who is truly unique, the only one of His kind.

8 After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross.

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 and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:8-11 (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.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Shaken but Unshakeable

The world is shaking. There is fighting, unrest, upheaval, torment and storms. I know that you feel this deeply – My people who are so well tuned to Me, and to the spiritual atmospheres surrounding you.

But remember that whilst the world shakes, I do not.

And if you are standing firm on Me, then you are unshakeable.

So do not be as those of the world who are shaken at every storm. Build your foundation on Me. You are set apart with Me. Not one to be influenced by fear or scaremongering, or of those that look to signs of the times. Their hope is shaken when they pin it to unstable places. For I am the everlasting God, in whom your salvation and honour is found.

Do not be influenced by the shaking atmospheres surrounding you, but tune into My voice. I am the voice that calms the storm.

My word brings order to chaos.

I speak life into being.

I am the One that makes you unshakeable when the world around you shakes.

Activation:

Read Psalm 62:5-8 out loud.

Read it a few times and let the words speak truth to your spirit. Bring to mind the situations in your life that are causing you to feel shaken now, and again speak the words of v 6 – ‘I will not be shaken.’ Use these words as a declaration over yourself and your circumstances.

5 For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him, for my hope is from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged.

7 On God my salvation and my glory rest; He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him. God is a refuge for us. Selah
Psalm 62:5-8 (AMP)

And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
Matthew 7:25 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Seated with Christ

Beloved, I love when you meet Me in your secret place. It’s a hideaway for intimacy, healing and growth. Did you know there’s another place I call you to for empowerment? This place is in the highest heaven, far above all principality, power, might, dominion and every other name.

It is My throne room, where Jesus is seated at My right hand and you are seated with Him. Do you see the magnitude? It means you can live above your circumstances and fight from a place of victory.

Ask Jesus to bring you to your appointed place. Once here, you will immediately feel My power and authority like never before because of your proximity to Me. Where the earth feels hopeless, this place bursts with possibility and opportunity. This is because all revelation, wisdom, knowledge and strategy reside here. It’s at your fingertips, and you are invited to release it upon the earth. Do you understand how backed you are by Me?

I invite you to live and do all things from this place – see, dream, pray, prophesy, evangelise, counsel, teach, preach, equip, heal, deliver, work, love, etc. Then see how your faith and authority become expectant, unlocking your fullness to impart spiritual solutions, conquer evil, bring hope to the lost and expand My Kingdom.

Activation: Believe in the truth that you are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Yield to the Holy Spirit for an encounter with Jesus, and ask Him to take you to God on His throne. Feel the magnitude of the Father’s majesty, power, authority and love. Allow Jesus to help you explore. Take note of what you see. When you are ready, ask Jesus if you may sit with Him. Surrender to the spiritual experience. Then, learn to live from this place in all you do. See how it increases your faith and authority to expectancy so you may unleash victory upon the earth for God’s glory.

⁶And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,

⁷[and He did this] so that in the ages to come He might [clearly] show the immeasurable and unsurpassed riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us in Christ Jesus [by providing for our redemption].

⁸For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;

⁹not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast ortake credit in any way [for his salvation].
Ephesians 2:6-9 (AMP)

Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.
Ephesians 2:18 (NLT)

Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16 (CSB)

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.
