Introduction

You are living in the days of the birthing and establishing of the purified bride of Jesus Christ, the days of a remnant rising. With this comes a greater clash of kingdoms, as the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of darkness and of this world face each other. As they do, the differences between these opposing realms will be clearly seen and defined. You will watch the church become aware of how she has partnered with the world in wrong ways. Her contamination will be evident and will be cleaned out because for too long the church has been in partnership with the world, looking toward it to come to its aid. Over many years the people of God have taken on worldly mindsets which have shut down their supernatural cutting edge.

But we, the church, are hungry for purifying fire and transformation. In these days the faithful people of God are boldly reemerging as a countercultural movement, fully submitted to King Jesus and rejecting the ways of the kingdoms of the world. We are responding to His invitation, and we will become a wild, contagious, subversive, courageous ecclesia who cry with every breath, Jesus is Lord! We are yielded to His leading and have a radical loyalty to His Kingdomnot for domination or our own triumphal self-promotion but to steward with a love and passion all that makes His name famous.

Jesuss power is the power of loving liberation, and it comes to us and works through us in miracles, prophecy, healing, deliverance, encounters, Kingdom strategies, dreams, and visionsall of which will become our new normal. As you wake up to this reality, you will be fully set free and will in turn set many captives free. The cry from our hearts will be that we begin to truly live as citizens of another Kingdomone that is eternal and not of this world. It is time to be as those who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age (Heb. 6:5).

Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, wants you to be like a weapon of Holy Spiritfilled, dangerous, dynamite that blows up all the strongholds of darkness, highly tuned in to hear His commands, totally in step with His Kingdom only, and with senses that are trained, alert, and supersensitized to His every move.

LION BITES

For over a decade a team of prophets from our ministry have written and sent out daily prophetic words called Lion Bites to keep believers in step with the Spirit of Jesus Christ and the trajectory that Hes moving on throughout the earth. For the book that you now have in your hands, six of us (Sarah-Jane Biggart; my father, John Hansford; Micah Hayden; Sam Robertson; my husband, David; and me) sat down together to listen to God and bring you 365 new, fresh encounters with Him.

The result, Lion Bites, is a personal, daily devotional that will build you into someone who is vitally alive and successfully active in a supernatural lifestyle. As you turn the pages, let us take you by the hand into a personal Holy Spirit adventure for the next year. We will submerse you in a culture of seeing in the Spirit, hearing from God, finding freedom, reawakening dreams, and reestablishing the warrior spirit within you!

Each days reading is not merely a thought for the day. Every page includes a prophetic word, a passage or verse from Scripture, and an action, prayer, or decree. Occasionally youll also get a bite-size nugget of pure Bible wisdom when our teachers bring their sharp scriptural insights and wisdom to the table.

A WINDOW INTO OUR WORLD

Here in our house of prophets in Glasgow, Scotland, we are very used to sharpening one another. Our culture is to bring prophetic words and activations to team time, we then outwork them as a group in our conversations, our worship, and our ministry. We live in a community of encountering God together, and really this book is an extension of that. Its a remarkable process when a company of prophets work under a collective anointing! As you read, pray, and activate each days readings, you will receive a sense of what its like to sit with us as we lead one another into the heavenly delights that await anyone who yields to the Spirit of God.
