This year 5774 being a leap year with an intercalary month of Adar II included, the month of July will occur during the fourth (4th) Biblical sacred calendar month called TAMMUZ. It will be the eleventh (11th) month in the Biblical Civil calendar. July is the seventh (7th) month of the Gregorian Calendar.
In the ancient Roman calendar, July was the fifth month so it was called “Quintilis mensis” in Latin, meaning “fifth month”. March was the beginning month of the year before it was changed to January. The name “Quintilis” was changed to “Julius” in honour of Julius Caesar who was born in the that fifth month, and was the one who assigned 31 days to the month in the year 46 BC, hence the name JULY.
July is the warmest month in most of the northern hemisphere where it is the 2nd month of summer and the coldest, in much of the southern hemisphere where it is the 2nd month of winter.
The greatest religious observance of the Islamic calendar, the fasting season of Ramadan 2014 will commence on the New moon of 29 June until 28 July 2014.
The Hebrew holiday of Tzom Tammuz, begins at dawn on Tue, 15 July 2014 (17th Tammuz). The fast of the 17th of Tammuz, known as Shivah Asar B’Tammuz, is the start of a three-week mourning period for the destruction of Jerusalem and the two Holy Temples. During those weeks the Jewish adherents mourn the loss of the vision of Israel as a holy nation set apart for the LORD.
UnGODly mythology around this month has to do with the festival of Tammuz. The summer solstice on June 21st commenced the festival of Tammuz derived from the mythology of a sun-god who is in charge of fertility. In Egypt he was known as Osiris, to the Greeks he was called Adonis (a name derived from the Phoenician and Hebrew word for “lord”). His consort or spouse was the goddess Ishtar (Astarte or Ashtoreth, Venus).
Adonis’ death is believed to set off the onset of winter while his restoration symbolizes the return of the sun. Celebrations marking this started off with lamentation and was followed with wild revelry. The 4th month Tammuz which commences on 29th June was dedicated to him.
The second half of the year commences in July.
PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH
The number 7 is a type of perfection, and completion. It is the number that stands for the Sabbath when the LORD finalized all of creation and rested from His work because it was complete. He would never need to create another atom of oxygen or another species of animal. He was done with the universe as it is to date.
Read Heb 3.7-4.11. In the Old Testament, the LORD continually displayed His faithfulness to provide for Israel in the wilderness but they refused to believe, trust and reign with Him. They refused to enter the Promised Land to reign over it, they refused to believe Him despite all His provisions, miracles signs and wonders and perpetual presence.
In the New Testament, this has to do with renewing our minds that He has already anticipated every need and counted every cost when He lay down His life to restore us to an Edenic status, to the Promised Land again. When we operate outside of that status of rest, salvation, health, prosperity, ruling and reigning with Him in life, then we become like the Israelites in the wilderness.

PRAYING FOR NATIONS
Israel
During this month, Israel and people of Jewish extraction begin the season of three weeks of mourning. It commences on 17 of Tammuz with a fast. The fast actually commemorates five tragic events that occurred on this date: 1. Moses broke the tablets when he saw the Jewish people worshipping the Golden Calf. 2. During the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem, the Jews were forced to cease offering the daily sacrifices due to the lack of sheep. 3. Apostomos burned the holy Torah 4. An idol was placed in the Holy Temple. 5. The walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans, in 69 CE, after a lengthy siege. (Three weeks later, after the Jews put up a valiant struggle, the Romans destroyed the second Holy Temple on the 9th of Av). They generally mourn the loss of the vision of Israel as a Holy nation to the LORD.
Nations of the 10/40 Window
During this season we continue to pray for over 100 cities of the 10/40 window. Jehovah’s strategy is to stretch the Rod (Word) of God over the territory. It means we make Scriptural proclamations to contend with chants and proclamations going out from that region to the various demon deities worshipped in the 10/40 window territories.

PRAYING THRU THE HEAVENS
The LORD has ways through which He communicates with and endeavors to reveal His purposes and plans for all of creation despite their belief systems – this is through the heavens. There is nothing that is not exposed to the heavens. The heavens continually declare and make proclamations (Psa 19.1-2).
He created the heavens and gave them their role in creation – to determine the times and seasons on earth and to give Him pleasure (Gen 1:14-18, Rev 4.11). It is important for every kingdom citizen to gain sound Biblical understanding of the heavens and know our role as stewards of Jehovah Adonai’s estate toward them – not the ungodly astrology, horoscope and other occult practices.
Once we acquire His ordained knowledge for the heavens, we will be able to set up their dominion here on earth (Job 38:31-33). Remember that in Mathew 28:18-20 Jesus commissioned the fledgling Ekklessia with all the authority given to Him to go out into all nations and disciple them. This authority included that which is in heaven and on earth. It is our duty to answer in the affirmative, the question that Job was asked concerning the visible firmament in Job 38:31-33. (For further teaching on Understanding the Heavens make a request of the teaching by email).

Solar Movements
From 21 June to 20 July 2014 the sun will be on course in its ecliptic path passes through a cluster of 85 stars in the constellation called Gemini symbolized by the twins which speaks of Jesus’s two fold nature, two fold work and two fold coming. Continue using the prayer directions in the prayer guide for June 2014 from our website or make a request by email.
From 20 July to 10 August the sun will experience one of its shortest sojourns within a constellation. The sun will enter a cluster of 83 stars in the gates of the constellation called Cancer – Scarab. Sited centrally over the ecliptic and facing the time of the end, is what looks like a giant crab but the ancient picture of this sign is a Scarab, which begins its life as a worm then changes into a winged beetle. The correct symbol is a Scarabeus Beetle which is an emblem of RESURRECTION.
The Cross was a mystery to you Satan (1 Cor 2.7-8); Jesus became obedient to death Phil 2.8; Satan you conquered Jesus on the Cross and took His spirit to the dark region of hell. The prince of this world had thought he had something to keep Jesus in the grave but you found NOTHING in Jesus. Jesus who was made to be sin, was justified in the spirit and raised to new life by God. Jesus was born into the new covenant in the pit of death and then conquered Satan col 2.15. He led captivity captive and broke out of death and hell with the key of death; He overcame death and even raised some who had been dead come to life; and they were seen in Jerusalem; the first fruits of the resurrection to come.
In the upper room Satan you witnessed the results; you saw men and women recreated; you saw them receive eternal life; you saw their sins removed and blotted out as if they had never existed. You saw the power that cast you out of heaven enter mere men – the Holy Spirit of Jehovah was residing in men. You became aware that the new creation people were your masters for they have been given the authority to use the Name of Jesus with authority in heaven and on earth! You saw these new people begin to perform the same miracles that Jesus had. You saw the tears you had caused turn to joy. You saw your slaves shaking off their chains and being made free! You saw your prisoners set free.
You saw Jehovah’s nature enter the hearts of men and the faith of God begin to operate so that others were snatched from under your authority. You saw the fear and doubt you had enthroned in men’s heart being replaced by faith and love and freedom. You heard a new language of praise and communication and YOU COULD NOT UNDERSTAND NOR COMPREHEND IT… THE LANGUAGE OF THE SPIRIT THE TONGUES OF FIRE AND POWER! You saw men become kings you had slain Jesus to annihilate Him, instead His death gave birth to a new race of a multitude of Jesus’s who torment your very existence when they recognize who they are in Jehovah.
You saw them multiply so rapidly that you realized you must try to destroy them before they destroy you. They are the greatest movement that will NEVER cease nor lose its power and authority, the Ekklessia – those who call on the name of Jesus in every territory on earth. You saw righteousness become a reality – a gathering of just men made perfect (Heb 12.12-24) men actually being born again with a new Father God and a new LORD, bridegroom and Master Jesus. The world holds millions of these people today; the Word is being revealed to them and Satan’s exile from creation is very near… and I am one of those instruments that God is using to decimate Satan’s tenancy here on earth Hallelujah! Amen
The sign of Cancer should never have been represented as a crab but as a sheepfold. Named: Cattle-folds; who holds or binds; traveller’s rest; Hermes. An ancient name for the month: the seizer; possessor of seed. Stars: A multitude, offspring; holding; the sheltering, hiding place; assembled thousands; the kids, lambs; northern ass; southern ass.
In CANCER is the completion of His work seen in reference to His redeemed – The Messiah’s redeemed possessions held fast. The three smaller group of stars called decans that make up Cancer develop this truth. They tell of the heaven-bound company (believers) that YHVH is going to bring to a place He has prepared for them.
Ursa Minor (the little bear) Ursa Minor/Little Bear/Lesser Sheepfold – The Remnant: A small bear lay in the central heavens, under the feet of Cepheus and nearly surrounded by the coils of Draco. Stars: Waiting, Him who comes; the calves, the young, the redeemed assembly; the kid; the assembled; a traveling company, the stronghold of the saved. Polar Star: The turned or ridden on; high in rising.
This represents the lesser sheepfold or flock, who are “partakers of the heavenly calling,” a “little flock,” but the kingdom shall be theirs, for which they now look and wait. They have not yet “received the promises; but, having seen them afar off” by faith, they “were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth” (Heb 11:13).
Ursa Major – Great Flock – Great Assembly:
Straddled between the signs of Cancer and Leo lies a huge constellation, again misinterpreted by the Greeks as a bear. This cannot be correct since bears do not have tails and the star names within it do not relate to a bear. (This constellation has often been wrongly named Ash or Arcturus, which is in nearby Bootes.) Named: The assembled together.
Stars: A herd of cattle; a fold, rest, security; the flock, purchased; visited, guarded, numbered; she- goat; separate, small; the Lamb; the daughters of the assembly; the assembled; Talit Ha/the redeemed under the Covenant; the sheepfold; multitude, many assembled; the assembled; separated; protected, covered, redeemed, ransomed; the latter herd or flock; company of travelers; coming and going; the sheepfold set, appointed.
Argo (the ship) A huge ship lies beneath the ecliptic, its mast piercing the neck of Hydra. (represents the ship that brings the pilgrims safely home. Isaiah 35:10; 51:9-11; Jeremiah 31:11,12) Named: Company of travelers. Stars: The possession of Him who comes; the multitude, abundance; the possession; the released who travel; the desired; the Branch. (Jeremiah 30:10,11; Isaiah 60:4-9)

PROCLAIM OVER CREATION:
MANY, O LORD MY GOD, ARE THE WONDERS WHICH YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR THOUGHTS TOWARD US; THERE IS NONE TO COMPARE WITH YOU. IF I WOULD DECLARE AND SPEAK OF THEM, THEY WOULD BE TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT. “SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME; IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE. “THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.'”… PSA 40.5, HEB 10.5B-7
