PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH OF APRIL 2013
April is the second (2nd) sacred month (the month Iyyar/Zif) for the Jews. 1st Iyyar 5773 corresponds with sundown 11th April 2013. ‘Zif’ – a term from an unused Hebrew root word meaning: Prominent, Brightness, Splendour, Comeliness and Cheerfulness marking the season when the sun shines and countenances are lightened up. It is a time when believers should take up positions in their God-given endeavors in life, and serve in such a way as to bring glory to God.
The derivation of the Latin name “Aprilis” for April is uncertain. Conventionally, the etymology is from the Latin word “Aperire” meaning “to open” in relation to it being the season when trees and flowers begin to “open” which is also supported by comparison with the modern use of the Greek word “ἁνοιξις” (meaning opening) for spring.
Vegetation continues to bud (open out) and blossom. New life continues to spring forth while all that had frozen off and died away during the winter season begin to decay and turn to manure. While newness has come, the beginning of spring is also marked by the stench of rotting foliage reeking and disintegrating to form fertilizer for the new growth.
It is the time for restoration of life after the cold and harsh, just-ended winter months. It is also the time of release of the latter rain that culminates in establishment, preservation and progress signifying fruitfulness and hope as new life begins; bringing about a change for the better.
It is the eighth (8th) month for the Jews’ civil purposes. The eighth month symbolised continuation of new beginnings, so this month should be a time when new foundations are laid for every endeavour of our lives – prayer lives, Bible study and word intake, that culminates in intimacy with God, business, marriage, etc.
It is the fourth (4th) month following the present Gregorian calendar. In this year of judgement, it marks the end of the first trimester of the judgement season. The Chag Ha Matzoh – Feast of Unleavened Bread which commenced from 15 Nisan ends on 21 Nisan 5773 in the Jewish calendar. This corresponds with 25 March on the Gregorian calendar ending on the 1st of April 2013.
PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH
April speaks of “opening”. Praise the LORD for the month that is opening up to Him. Pray that the gates of righteousness will be opened up to kingdom citizens and only that which is righteous, just, of good report, destiny building, healing, peace-building, renewing, that brings deliverance and praise will enter in. (Psalm 118:19-21, Isa 60:18-20)
Similarly, pray that nothing will enter the gates of this month, which causes strife, violence, injustice, unrighteousness, ill-health, and bondage. Close the gates to these influences as you enter the second quarter of this year.
Proclaim and pray through the Paschal hymns called the Great Hallel – Ps 113-118 and Ps 136 praising the LORD for His awesome wisdom hidden in the significance of the festivals of Passover, First fruits and Unleavened bread.
Prophesy Prominence of good things, Brightness, Splendour, Comeliness and Cheerfulness will be your portion and that of your family, kingdom citizens in the territory at large in this season.
Command the month of April to swallow up everything that is contrary to prominence of good. Command the month to swallow up dullness, depression, strife. Proclaim that nothing that is to be used for distractive purposes will affect you, your family, kingdom citizens and the territory at large.
Pray that in this month the LORD will bring to prominence every seed of His purpose which has come to its time of springing forth. The seed shall not fail to come to prominence.
Pray that in the midst of all the hard dealings which are falling upon the nations, the LORD will give kingdom citizens seasons and reasons for joy and celebration of the fulfilment of His purposes. Let there be a light of hope shining at the end of every tunnel of trial, tribulation and testing. (Isa 35, 51:11)2
Pray that this month will mark the release to prominence of people who will lead the territories they are in into their destiny (the apostles, prophets, evangelists teachers and pastors in the eight educational institutions who stand in God’s counsel). (Isaiah 5l:l8, Jeremiah 23:18, 22).
The sacred New Year commences with a time when God passed judgment against all the gods of Egypt. During the Passover season God passes judgment on some institutions, activities etc. The angel of death passed over the land destroying slavery and any successors that would perpetuate foundations and sustenance for spiritual idolatry and slavery. Pray that you will see a manifestation of this spiritual reality as the angel of the LORD has passed over the territory and dealt with every structure of slavery in your life, family, kingdom citizens and the territory at large.
Pray that like God did for the Israelites, God will ride on a swift cloud to judge the gods in your family, the body of Christ and nation. Isaiah 19:1-2
Pray that this coming month as the Passover, First Fruits and Unleavened Bread festivals come to a close, you will seek to daily die to everything of self that has manifested in the past season including self preservation, self defence, self confidence, self aggrandizement, self-identity, self love.
Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you again how to find your identity in the LORD, your defence and preservation, confidence and acceptance in the LORD through Jesus Christ (Gal 2:20)
Unleavened bread was unblemished bread. It signifies the pure word intake in your life. As the Feast of unleavened bread comes to a close, pray that the coming month will be a time of increased word intake.
The Lamb of God received the title deed of the universe. As kingdom citizens you are co-heirs with Him. Pray for the release of these 7 seals that have to do with your life, your family, community, and God’s inheritance in the nation. Pray that all the power you need this month, every iota of wealth, every iota of wisdom, every honor, glory, blessing will manifest in your life, your family, the Body of Christ, and in the LORD’s inheritance in the nation.
Pray that the LORD will in this season cause you to recover everything that was stolen from you in the season of your slavery. Pray this for kingdom citizens and your territory.
Pray that every inheritance you are supposed to enter into as a family, as the Body of Christ and nation will begin to be manifest in this season.
As people were released from slavery, they became aware of their redemptive purpose as a nation. Pray that in this season the LORD will remind you of your redemptive purpose as a person, and also that of your family, the Body of Christ and your nation.
Pray that in any area you have been derailed from your destiny, God will bring you back so that you can accomplish His purpose.
The last days of the Passover season have to do with the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea. Pray that in this season, God will bring you to cross over any obstacle that is hindering you from pursuing your destiny in God. Pray this for the Body of Christ and the territory at large.
Pray that God will perform miracles that will renew your faith in Him where you have been discouraged or where you are feeling low in faith.
Pray that in the coming season, where there are obstacles that seem insurmountable, God will part the Red Sea of your life, He will make a way and cause you to cross over.
Disconnect the army of Satan; the astrologers, prognosticators, occultists and mediums from the heavens by proclaiming JESUS AS THE ONLY WAY (John 14:6) to the heavens. All contrary ways are blocked.
Command the heavens to respond only to the voice of the LORD and to the instructions of kingdom citizens who operate in line with His purposes alone.
This is the 2nd month of the sacred Calendar. The number 2 represents the number of witness, divine agreement, repetitions, “second chance” division or difference, which may be for good or bad.
Africa was the first continent where the LORD revealed Himself as the Owner of the earth and its fullness (Ps 24). However, it is on this continent that Pharaoh first asked, “Who is this King of glory?” When God revealed Himself as the LORD strong and mighty in battle, Pharaoh, Egypt and by extension the continent of Africa rejected Him.
This is the second chance season. There are many nations in Africa where the LORD has given a chance in this jubilee season to turn their fortunes around and align themselves to His purposes; but the spirit of Pharaoh continues to defy Him as they desire to continue to have their own way.
Pray that in this new season, the pharaohs of Africa will humble themselves and declare that the LORD is indeed GOD. Pray that as many as will humble themselves, will enjoy a second opportunity to be a blessing to their territories; and as many as continue to defy His LORDship will be struck down just as it was done to the ancient Pharaoh.
Pray that in this season of new beginnings, the LORD will deal with every defiant horse and rider, their chariots and all the might of Egypt. He has set them up for such a time as this and He will gain the final victory.
Read Psalm 19:8 and pray that the judgments of the LORD which are right will continue to speak to the foundations of every throne in the continent and bring sanitization, and ultimately joy, to the hearts of those who have diligently sought Him.
Pray that the commandments of the LORD which are radiant will bring enlightenment, and revelation knowledge overruling every darkness that men have operated under.
Pray that every counterfeit shall be exposed, confounded and destroyed.
The LORD prophesied that 2013 is a season of shocking exposures. The LORD will cause there to be exposures that never before have occurred on the continent. The LORD reveals in order to redeem. Pray that such exposures will turn many to the LORD.
This is the 4th month of the Gregorian calendar. The number 4 in this context will focus on the 4th man. Africa, is the 4th runner in the relay of God’s purposes in the nations (Read 7 Fundamental Questions chapter 2 Where Am I?).
Pray that the four winds of God will bring life into every dead situation and every hopeless situation (Ez 37). Those which will spring to life, will bring joy, while whatever has died away will still be used to enhance life just as the rotting foliage turns into fertilizer for the living plants.
This time because the 4 winds will bring God’s grace our way we shall not miss our time of harvest. Pray that everything done and patterned according to divine programming will come to pass. (Jer 8:20).
Pray that the LORD will bring the four winds to scatter the wisdom tables of any strategic meeting by the agents of darkness in light of the season we are in (Jer 49:36)
The Four living creatures ensure the establishment of God’s decrees, purposes, counsel and programs proceeding from His throne as they surround the throne. Pray that the influence of the four living creatures will bring establishment of God’s purposes, His decrees, counsel and programs in your life, family, and in God’s inheritance in the territory at large (Rev 4:6-11).
On the fourth day of the creation week, God created the two great lights – the greater and lesser lights and the stars also (Ps 136:7-9; Gen 1:14-18) and positioned them in the firmament. They rule the day and the night respectively and they mark the times and seasons in both the physical and spiritual realms.
Pray that the sun, moon and stars will give praise to the LORD this season (Psa 19:1-6).
Pray that the sun and moon will not smite you by day or night, but will bring forth their best for you, your family, the body of Christ, nation and continent this season (Ps 121:6, Hos 2:18-21, Deut 33:14).
The number 8 represents new beginnings. Eight souls were saved in the ark to commence a new world (1Pe 3:20, 2Pe 2:5.). Pray that you will be the beneficiary of a new beginning; a time of renewed health, strength, renewed vision, purpose and passion for life, a new beginning for every divine, destiny-building relationship.
Pray for new beginnings for the family, the body of Christ and the territory at large; a new beginning to walk into the destiny of the LORD for them.
Is this the month of your birth?
Thank God for the day of your conception. (Psa 139:13)
Thank God that when He thought of you, He already thought of your entire life. Thank Him that He did not leave anything to chance. (Isa 49:1)
Thank Him that he knew exactly what your redemptive purpose was going to be. (Psa 139:16)
Pray that He will reveal the original you more and more as you enter another year of your life. (Psa 139:13-15) 4
Pray that He will restore the heavenly label, and the heavenly name He gave you before you were conceived. (Jer 1:5).
Thank the LORD for the day of your birth. Praise the LORD that your birthday marks the entry into another season of Jubilee. Thank God that you cried out and prophetically rejoiced in yourself. Ask Him to give you joy no matter your circumstance, to rejoice on this day of your birth. (Neh 8:10)
Pray that God will mould your life such that people will see you, and be drawn to Him because of your nationality, your race and tribe (Acts 17:27)
Thank God for your gender. God did not make a mistake. He created you the way you are for a purpose. Ask Him to fulfil His purpose for you in that gender. He did not create you as a man when you were to be a woman or vice-versa. He did not create you to have two genders.
Prophesy the blessing of Joseph. Speak to the earth and declare that the earth will bring forth its best for you in this New Year. Prophesy to the heavens to declare the glory of God over your life every day of this new year. (Deut 33:13-17, Lev 26:4-5, Hos 2:21-22, Psa 19:1-2, Isa 55:12)
Thank the LORD that the lighting of candles on your birthday signifies that your spirit is a candle before Him. Pray that indeed your candle will never wane before Him. (Pro 20:27)
Thank the LORD that He lights your candle. It ever shines before Him as a memorial especially on your birthday. (Psa 18:28)
Thank God that He has favor upon you. This birthday marking a jubilee day, is a day of the LORD’s favor. Thank Him that the lighting of your candle signifies His great favor upon you in this day and the season ahead. (Isa 61:2)
Ask that the LORD will forgive you and others around you, for prophetically snuffing out your own life and purpose when you blew your candles. Ask the LORD to recover all that has been lost in ignorance by your actions. Pray that in this season of Jubilee He will restore all that has been wasted away.
PRAYING FOR NATIONS
Israel
Thank the LORD for the season of feasts which Israel and the Jewish people all over the world have just observed. Pray that the LORD will continually reveal to them that He is the Messiah who they continue to wait for. Pray that this season will manifest the fulfillment of the LORD’s promise.
Pray for the continued protection of Israel as a state. Pray for wisdom for the new government that is barely one month old now. Pray that the LORD will continue to preserve His promises through the leadership of the nation.
Pray for the borders of Israel. Pray that even with the continued instability in the Arab nations surrounding her, Israel will remain an island of peace and stability and many from those nations will turn to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel for succor.
Unrest In Nations
The anti-government forces fighting in Central Africa Republic (CAR) have taken over the capital city and the sitting president H.E Bozize has fled the nation. The military has claimed that they will restore peace and order and call for elections within three years. CAR is a nation that has suffered much unrest and deep poverty since its inception. Mali continues to suffer unrest and uncertainty as the spirit of lawlessness spreads across the region.
Bring repentance for Body of Christ which has largely ignored intercession for other nations around them but are focused on a gospel of comfort and convenience.
Pray for the lost and forgotten in the nations of Mali and CAR. Pray for these nations which entered their jubilee in 2010 yet have continued to suffer unrest, violence and destruction within their borders.
Pray for discernment and revelation knowledge concerning the situation in these two nations to be released to willing kingdom citizens across the world. Pray that the LORD will bring revelation to the Body of Christ on how to arise and push the nations back on track and into their destiny.
This is a season of second chances, and new beginnings. Pray that the suffering masses of Central Africa and Mali will experience a fresh new beginning even though the territories grapple with the realities of failed governments and a culture of coups.5
Pray that the LORD will show the Body of Christ in other nations of Africa how to reach out practically to these two nations bringing healing, restoration and the gospel of the kingdom.
Pray for Egypt and Syria where unrest and deep resentment continues to pour out among the masses. Pray that kingdom citizens in these two nations will not get tired nor give up until righteousness shines forth from these nations.
Pray for the protection of the LORD upon endangered kingdom citizens who are working and living in these regions.
Pray for wisdom, an increased spirit of discernment and miracle working of the LORD in the lives of kingdom citizens.
Pray that those who have hitherto not known the LORD as Jehovah. Pray that they will begin to be drawn to Him through the lifestyles of kingdom citizens in these territories.
Pray for the nation of Kenya. The scepter of the land is in the hand of the LORD. While we thank the LORD for the largely peaceful elections, the enemy is still bent on derailing the nation as she walks her jubilee year. Pray that the shalom of the LORD will rest heavily upon the nation and kingdom citizens will not stop interceding until the nation is firmly on course toward her destiny. Pray that His scepter of righteousness will be evident on a corresponding righteous and just leadership.

Thank the LORD for the above nations as they celebrate special national milestones in this month.
Pray for a visitation of the LORD in South Africa where at least 28% of South African schoolgirls are HIV positive compared with 4% of boys because “sugar daddies” are exploiting them. Pray that the LORD will expose the real root of sexual immorality that is rampant in that nation giving it some of the highest levels of HIV and AIDS in the world today.
In the past year alone about 260,000 people died of HIV and AIDS in South Africa alone. This is demonic and should not be taken lightly. Pray that the Body of Christ will in this season arise and intercede, spiritual map and go to the root of this attack on the nation.
Repent of the rampant sacrifice to Moloch in South Africa which is defiling the land. Statistics reveal that about 77,000 girls had abortions at public facilities in the past year. South Africa is a major gateway to the continent and when one sees these patterns a spiritual red flag must be raised. Such influences spread into the continent if they are not stayed at the gates. Pray that as the nation enters her 20th year of independence from apartheid rule, there will be a greater willingness to deal with evil foundations and man this key gateway among kingdom citizens.
Pray for the nation of Zimbabwe as it enters the 34th year of independence and imminent general elections. Pray that the LORD will arise and scuttle the works of the enemy in the land.
Pray for the Vatican and the new Pope Francis who was chosen last month, after the retirement of the former Pope Benedict XVI.

Pray that the Body of Christ in each of the above territories will gain better understanding of the dynamics of nations and the LORD’s purpose for each season of leadership.
PRAYING THROUGH THE HEAVENS
Read Psalm 19:1-6:
Proclaim that in this new season the heavens will declare only that which glorifies the LORD. Every other voice instructing the heavens will be silenced and confused and rendered impotent
On each day, as the firmament above speaks through the movement of the sun, the phases of the moon and alignments of the star constellations and planets. Pray that people will gain a new revelation of the God who created these beings for His pleasure and purposes.
Pray that every day of this new season will speak only the LORD’s promises and purposes for you, your family, kingdom citizens and God’s inheritance in their territory.
Pray that each night will reveal the knowledge of His glory in a way that has never been revealed before. Pray that the reality that in these last days the LORD Jesus said there will be signs in the heavens foretelling events, will become an active revelation within the Body of Christ which has hitherto chosen to be actively ignorant of the heavens and the LORD’s purpose for them with regard to times and seasons.
Lunar Movements
Crescents and Quarter Moons (Sickles & Bows)
The C shaped moon (crescent moon) or its mirror image is sickle shaped; a D shaped moon or its mirror image is a bow. The occult use the crescent moon as sickles (e.g. Hecate’s sickle), for harvesting the gains of the ignorant and for demonic strength and fortification with intense enchantments. Every child of God must enforce Num 23:23.
Pray that each phase of the moon will be a faithful witness in the sky to the covenantal nature of every word that has proceeded from the mouth of the LORD concerning His destiny for your life, your family, the Body of Christ and the entire universe. (Psa 89:34-37)7
As you pray and enforce Num 23:23 also pray that the Lord will be an enemy to the “Midianites” who harvest with their sickles the gains of the ignorant. (Exo 23:22)
Pray that the one who sits on the cloud with the sharp sickle in His hand will thrust in the sickle and reap off the earth all those who involve themselves in such wicked acts of reaping the gains of the ignorant to enrich themselves. (Joe 3:13, Rev 14:15}
The D shaped bow (quarters) moon is used by the occult as a bow to shoot arrows of destruction at the righteous. These arrows could be words, actual spiritual arrows, that are meant to destroy, bring confusion, kill and wound.
Pray that the LORD will turn every incantation, every curse, every word that is contrary to His will into madness. He will make the diviners mad and confuse every programming that has been made by astrologers and prognosticators over your life, family, Body of Christ and territory at large. (Is 44:24-25)
Pray that every bow that they have hidden to shoot secretly and scuttle the purpose of The LORD shall be exposed and the bows broken in Jesus name. Proclaim Psalm 64 over every individual or group that is bent on this evil.
The last quarter moon is on the 3rd of April 2013 @ 04:37 UT and The first quarter moon is on
the 18th of April 2013 @ 12:31 UT
Command the quarter moons to praise the LORD in this month. {Psalm 148:3}
Ask the Creator who made the moon to mark the seasons, to cause it to mark seasons of recovery of all lost grounds for you and for the Body of Christ in the territory (Psa 104:19).
Release the shield of faith to quench every fiery dart shot at the Body of Christ to affect her godly impact on the nation’s socio-political and economical status (Eph 6:17)
The new moon that heralds the 4th lunar season is on the 10th April 2013 @ 09:35 UT
Rejoice in the LORD for the new month that He has made. Pray that the gates of this new month shall be praise and the walls shall be salvation.
Witches do the highest enchantments at the time of the new moon. Proclaim Ps 27 and declare that there is no enchantment against you, your family, Kingdom citizens everywhere. (Num. 23:23)
If the Lord directs you to renew your covenant of love please be obedient to Him. You may seal it bypartaking of the Holy Communion as the LORD leads you and you may make a memorial offering to Him where He will direct you to give at the new moon.
The full moon is on the 25th of April 2013 @ 19:57 UT and it will be in a penumbral eclipse
Pray that the fullness of Christ that fills all in all will fill you, your family the Body of Christ and the territory at this period of the full moon. (Eph 1:23)
Pray that the body of Christ will be like the moon which has no light of its own but only reflects what the sun shines on it. Pray that the Body of Christ starting with yourself, will begin to reflect the light of the Son of God rather than trying to create its own light as has been the pattern in this generation (Isaiah 50:11)
Pray that every gathering, which has gathered around the full moon to plan evil and wickedness, shall be scattered in this new season. Pray that their incantations will turn into confusion (Isaiah 44:24-25)
Pray that during the penumbral eclipse of this full moon, the LORD will blind every satanic watchman, supervising spirit and guardian demon released to monitor and attack kingdom citizens and the ignorant in your territory.
Solar Movements
On April 18, 2013 the Sun will be moving into a cluster of 66 stars called Aries, the constellation symbolized by a ram or lamb. The sign of Aries is replete with strength and hope for the people of the Abrahamic Covenant. It is set in the15th century BCE, in the month when the Passover occurred in Egypt and again in the 1st century CE in the month of Passover when Jesus Christ was the final Lamb of God totally satisfying the LORD’s requirements for redemption of all creation.
The first Passover secured the redemption of the firstborn of Israel from slavery in Egypt. The offering of Jesus as the sinless Lamb of God secured the redemption of the lost sheep of the House of 8Israel and all of creation and brought forth the Bride of Christ which consists of all who will call upon His name. Aries also reveals the complete defeat to come of the dragon and his surrogate spirits. Aries lies above the head of Cetus the sea monster, with a foreleg across the Band holding Pisces. Named: The lamb; the pierced; the sheep; gentle, merciful. And the stars speak of the sacrifice of righteousness; wounded; slain; the bruised; the bound.
In the year of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the sun was positioned in Aries on 14th Nisan, the set day for the slaying of the Passover Lamb. There is no doubt that this constellation marks the identity of the sacrificial lamb for the nation of Israel and by extension the entire universe.
Praise the LORD who through the heavens has accurately declared and told the story of the LAMB OF GOD who came to save the world.
Proclaim Revelations 5 and worship the Lamb of God who was found worthy to receive the title deed of the universe, open the scroll and break the seven seals.
In this season may the heavens declare that indeed salvation belongs to the LORD and may it be known in all the parts of the earth, where shakings continue to rock nations and territories, that only Jesus Christ the Lamb of God can truly redeem nations and bring healing to every part of creation (Psa
19:1-2).
Pray that you will receive a revelation of the Cross and its significance as the most powerful altar that was and will ever be raised through all eternity. (Philippians 3:7-12)
The other smaller group of stars called decans that form part of Aries describe the details of the process of redemption and enthronement.
Cepheus/the Crowned King – Son of David/Bridegroom: A Redeemer will come to rule as a glorious king, enthroned in the highest heaven, with a crown of seven points and a scepter in His hand named: This one comes to rule; the branch; the king, Coming quickly; the redeemer; who bruises or breaks.
This is the one of whom Jacob spoke when he blessed Judah: “The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet until Shiloh comes; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples”. (Genesis 49:10). Thank the LORD for the declaration of Kingdom rulership and authority over all creation. Pray that your territory will respond to the declaration of the heavens and every throne will respond to and allow only leadership that is after the pattern of the Son of David.
Thank the LORD that though He bruised the head of the serpent and broke the gates of brass to set captives free establishing justice and righteousness, He does not bruise the broken. He brings healing to them (Isa 42:1-4)
This is the one whom Balaam ‘saw’ would arise: “I see him but not now; I behold him but not near; a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel …” This king will crush Israel’s enemies and utterly destroy Esau. (Numbers 24:17-19) This king is the Branch with the seven spirits of the LORD depicted in the seven stars of his crown. (Isaiah 11:2). Declare that the LORD will sit as King at the gates of this new season and the scepter in His hand will be released only to leaders after His own heart. Every counterfeit will be broken and destroyed never to rise again.
Cassiopeia (The enthroned woman) represents the captive delivered, and preparing for her husband, the Redeemer. An enthroned woman prepares herself. Her throne is beside the throne of Cepheus the King. Named: The freed; set up as Queen; the daughter of splendor; the beautiful. Read out and prophesy Isaiah 54:5-8; 61:10,11; 62:3-5; Jeremiah 31:3-12; Psalm 45:9-17 over your life and kingdom citizens everywhere.
The other stars in this decans declare: The freed; the branch. This is the Bride of Messiah who has been freed from her bondage by the sacrificial offering of the Lamb of God. (John 8:36) She is seen in the constellation of Aries because the Lamb gave his life for hers and freed her from bondage to Satan. “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” (Revelation 21:9
The LORD has clothed the body of Christ with the garments of salvation and covered it with the robe of righteousness just like the bride and bridegroom is adorned. Pray for kingdom citizens this month to fully understand the depth of deliverance and the height of redemption we have received in Christ. (Eph 3:14-20, Is 61:10-11)
Meditate on the role of a bride to a Prince. What does it mean for a woman of no consequence to marry the Crown Prince? How does it change her life? What does it mean for her roles and privileges? How ought she to carry herself and be of service to the kingdom? You are the bride of the Prince of Peace, the Heir to the throne. Have you conducted yourself as such? What does it mean? What does it say about your authority and influence? Has this been the character of the Body of Christ in your region? Pray that the LORD will help you begin to live a life that displays you as a true bride to Him. Pray this for the Body of Christ as well.
In this year the LORD has prophesied concerning raising Deborahs, Esthers and Lydias into their full expression in education, leadership and business, and the economy respectively. Pray for women you know that indeed they shall enter a season of enthronement as they are set free from bondages that have long held the female expression from fully manifesting her God given abilities in these three areas. Pray this especially for the women within the Body of Christ and those whom you know in such roles wherever they may be that they will be true Royal Priests before the LORD on behalf of people in their constituencies of influence. Psalm 45:8-17
Cetus (The Sea Monster) represents the great enemy bound. A huge monster, a Leviathan, with the tail of a fish, great claws and a large horn between its eyes is fastened to the Band. The feet of the monster are in Eridanus, either attempting to arrest the flow of the river of judgment or beginning the journey down it. The sea monster is the largest of the constellations named:Subdued, the bound, chained enemy; overthrown, thrust down; the rebel.
“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook? Or press down his tongue with a cord? Can you put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook? Shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. He is king over all the sons of pride.” (Job 41) Thank the LORD Jesus Christ that because of the sacrifice He made as the Lamb of God, today kingdom citizens can answer the above question posed to Job in the affirmative. Yes we can subdue and overthrow Leviathan in the name and the blood of the Lamb of God.
“Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.” (Psalm 74:14) Pray that in this season, you will receive the anointing and discernment to recognize any water spirit bondage in your life and then go ahead to break its power and hold over your life in Jesus name. Pray this for the Body of Christ to deal with water spirits in entire territories.
For behold YHVH cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. In that day YHVH with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. (Isaiah 26:21-27:1). Pray that in this season, even as the heavens declare, every water spirit motivated bloodshed and blood sacrifice that has been done in your territory by any individual or group shall receive severe and swift judgment of the LORD
Pray that any place in your territory where people have opened themselves to leviathan’s influence through bloodletting, even any group that gathers to perpetuate violence of any sort, pray that the LORD will break out among them and punish them. Their blood will be on their own heads and any bloodshed will be within their own boundaries and will not destroy those who are not partakers nor the ignorant.
Proclaim this prophetically over Israel even as the heavens declare: “Rejoice greatly O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! ……As for you also, because of the blood of my Covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to your stronghold O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double. For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have made Ephraim
its arrow. I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and wield you like a warrior’s sword”. (Zechariah 9:13)
During the season of Pesach, pray that the LORD will bring to the mind of Kingdom citizens worldwide, His great victory over the old serpent the devil and led captivity captive in order to bring eternal redemption to all creation.
Pray that there will be a spirit of rejoicing over the LORD Jesus Christ as the mighty Conqueror who overcame death and is FOREVER the Saviour of the world. Rejoice that He paid completely for all time, for every sin, every shortcoming and has bound the great enemy of our souls. (Is 26:21 – 27:1)
Perseus (The breaker) Delivering His redeemed
In this season when so many are in bondage in various ways, pray especially for kingdom citizens that there will be a breaking away from debilitating slavery to sin as the Deliverer arises in this season. May the heavens declare that even the legal captive will be set free as we yield to our Kinsman Redeemer and Deliverer Jesus Christ (Isaiah 49:24-26)
Are there significant bondages you are trying to break free from? Are there ungodly altars that continue to speak bondage over your territory? This is the season the heavens declare that the bound were set free during the Passover season. Prophesy your deliverance and seek for its manifestation in the physical.

PROCLAIM OVER ALL CREATION:
After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness). His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand. He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God. And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses. From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent). And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.(Rev 19:11-16)
