PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH OF JUNE 2009
The month of June is the fourth (4th) Jewish sacred calendar month called Tammuz (Ezekiel 8). It is also reckoned as the tenth (10th) month following the Jewish civil calendar.According to the Gregorian calendar, June is the sixth (6th) month.
The spring season has come to an end and the summer is beginning to peak. It is a time of harvest in the northern hemisphere but the sowing season and the rainy or winter season in the southern hemisphere toward the tropic of Capricorn.
The sun will be directly overhead the tropic of cancer resulting in the summer solstice or high summer falling in June too. That will be the longest day and the shortest night. There are a number of ungodly mythological celebrations that take place in that season.
In the month of June, 3 more African nations will be blowing the jubilee trumpet to ushering in their jubilee year. These are Madagascar on 20th Somalia on 26th and DR Congo on 30th of June.
The Ungodly Mythology surrounding the month of June includes the story of Tammuz the 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). The worship of these gods involved licentious (immoral, lustful, immodest or shameless) rites. Adonis’ death is said to set off the onset of winter while his restoration symbolizes the return of the sun. Celebration marking this were made during the summer solstice, first with lamentation then wild revelry.
In Ezekiel 8:14, the custom of women mourning for Tammuz, which was observed at the very gate of the temple of the true God, were considered one of the most abominable idolatries. Babylonian calendar dedicated the 4th month to him.
According to Roman mythology June was named after the Roman goddess Juno. Juno is believed to be sister (but also the wife) of the chief god Jupiter and the mother of Juventas, Mars and Vulcan. She is said to be “queen of the gods”. The first day in each month of the year is dedicated to Juno. She was also the protector and special counselor of the Roman state. As the patron goddess of Rome and the Roman Empire, she was called Regina (“queen”) and, together with Jupiter and another deity Minerva, they were worshipped as a triad on the Capitol (Juno Capitolina) in Rome.
Many people consider the month of June, which is named after the goddess Juno the patroness of marriage, to be the most favorable time to marry. Lucina was a nick-name for Juno as “she who brings children into light’. In Greek mythology she is called “Hera.” the goddess responsible for women, marriage and married life. |
Praying into the month
- Instruct everything in creation at every given moment of the month to praise the Lord as you proclaim into the womb of creation. Ps 148
- Declare Psalm 24 to all of creation in this month. Command every gate and every ancient doorway of the month to be lifted up, for the King of Glory to come and reign over every thing.
- Ask the Lord to channel the course of this month the way He has purposed and planned it because He created and owns the month.(Mat 7:7; Mat 21:22 )
Apart from your actual birthday, do you know which day of the week you were born? That is the day of your birth. The best thing you can do for yourself is to bless that day of your birth. Fast and pray on that day each week. If you were born in this month, bless the month from the womb of creation. If you know others who were born in this month make this your prayer for them;
- Bless that day of your birth and declare that God’s purposes for which He allowed you to manifest on that particular day will be fulfilled.
- Nullify anything that has been released into creation to withhold you from fulfilling your redemptive purpose.
- Declare that you are entering into your lifestyle of ever increasing glory and awe
- Pray that your star will rise and shine ever brighter. Anything that has hitherto tried to cover your star will be swept away by God’s broom of destruction.
- Pray that on the day of your birth, God will re-enact the covenant with creation on your behalf. He will speak to the heavens and the heavens will speak to the earth and the earth will bring forth its best for you – with bread wine and oil.
Praying about the perpetuated ungodly mythologies.
- As a prophetic act, proclaim unceasingly into the womb of creation that God created the months and named them. Therefore all cunningly devised fables concerning the months should be wiped out until creation accepts, responds and turns to the truth. (2 Pet 1:16; Tit 1:14)
- Declare that your fruitfulness in this season is from the Lord and not from any demon-god of fertility. (Deut 28:1-14, Isaiah 54:1-4)
- Juno is also worshipped as Regina Patron goddess of Rome especially in the area of wealth. Declare that it is God who teaches you to profit. Your wealth acquisition will not be influenced by any other demon spirit. Pray that if there is any influence of Mammon on your wealth or that of the nation, God will separate you from it. (Is 48:17, Deut 8:18)
Jewish –“Tammuz”, Egypt – Osiris, Greek – Adonis, the sun god, and his consort Ashtoreth, are believed to be the god & goddess of fertility – a false belief and claim. Another word for fertility is fruitfulness, a command an ability given to all creation by God alone. (Gen 1:20.22, 24, 28)
- Present every soul that believes in other gods of fruitfulness apart from the Creator of the heavens and the earth that they will come into the knowledge of the truth and be saved. (1 Tim 2:4-6)
- God declared 2009 to be a year of fruitfulness. This is a very practical prophecy. It means that you will find yourself in situations, environments, certain people who will raise your hackles in the area of fruitfulness which you need to develop. If you need to develop your love, then situations which test your hatred and irritation level will come so that the Holy Spirit in you raises that standard of love to ride over the offending emotion. If you need to develop in kindness, or goodness or gentleness, then situations that bring the opposite of these fruit will manifest. Things that bring our your harshness, or the worst in you, or the most violent emotions in you will happen. What you do when they happen will determine whether the fruit of the spirit will manifest or the works of the flesh. Pray that when each situation arises, the Holy Spirit will raise up a standard i.e. His fruit to override the negative works of the flesh (Isa 59:17)
- We can only fruit that remains, if we abide in Christ the vine, if not, whatever we bring forth will not last; or will benefit only the kingdom of darkness; It amounts to nothing before the Lord. Pray that God will give you the grace to see any areas where you are laboring to bring forth fruit that will amount to nothing. Ask Him for the grace to turn away from those labors and focus only on what will bring fruit that remains (Joh 15:2,4,5)
Fruit is practical, outworking of that which has been absorbed or planted. God has given you grace so that you can, like Apostle Paul, work harder than the rest. Meditate on areas of your life and work which have not been as fruitful as they ought to be. Write down your plan for how you shall improve so you bear fruit. For instance,
- how will you plan your days in order to increase your Word intake through reading, studying, meditating etc?
- How do you plan to improve on your special times of worship ministration to the Lord?
- What are your soul winning and evangelism goals for this month?
- What will you do practically, beyond monetary or material contribution toward the needy in this month i.e. the widow, orphan or stranger in your midst?
Make a plan. These are practical outworking – fruit from all that you have been learning, reading, preaching, etc. Its not just about prayer without being practically involved. Where you find yourself trying to make excuses, then that is your point for prayer. Think of what you will do, pray for the grace and strength to do it and then go out and be practical – bear fruit.
God the husbandman is waiting for the fruit of the Spirit to be manifest in your life
- Choose one fruit of the Spirit which you fall short of e.g. self control. Meditate on what it means to have that fruit manifest in your life. Examine areas of your life where this fruit is lacking with regard to others. Pray for grace to help you in times when you need to manifest that fruit. Pray the same for the church and nation; that certain fruit that has been lacking will begin to manifest (Ps 121:1;Gal 5:22-25; )
- If you will bear better fruit, then you must go through pruning. This can be a very painful process. Pray that you will, like Jesus, learn obedience through your sufferings; (Joh 15:26, Job 5:18)
- If you do not bear fruit, you will be cast away. Pray for yourself, family, region, province, and nation but especially for the church that God will quicken His people to this truth so they escape judgment (Ps 119:159; Mat 3:10; Lk 13:6-9)
- Incidentally during summer season many people loosen up and involve more and more in licentious activities, there is increased wild revelry and partying; there is increased sexual provocation and immorality at every level. Movies, songs, fashions, a lot of media and advertising, reading material are rife with a lot of sexual content. Ask the Lord to shield His people from being lured in this season. Ask for the quickness to flee all manner of sexual impurity. Pray verse by verse through Prov 2
- Ask that God will sanctify every marriage covenant being made in this season; that there will be no ungodly influence over marriages and weddings especially in the house of God ..
The enemy finds occasion to loot treasures of joy, peace, faith, stability, hope and confidence in God, through life threatening experiences, resulting in being wounded, bitterness, rejection, ignominy, etc for the sole purpose of destroying what God has built in the spiritual houses of His people, especially those destined for greatness.
- Pray that the Lord will judge and cast out the prince of this world who loots the treasures of individual lives of the church worldwide. (Joh 12:31)
- Pray that you, your family, business, church, province nation etc will not be the channel by which any of God’s people go through life threatening experiences, but rather through you, members will encounter and embrace life transforming and dignifying experiences. (Mat 26:24;Mar 14:21;Lk 22:22; Col 4:12-13; Acts 9:26-28,36-40)
Prayers about significance of the numbers 4, 6 and 10
The number 4 speaks of material completeness. It speaks of the 4th man, the 4 winds, the 4 quarters, the 4 living creatures etc. Africa, is the 4th runner in the relay of God’s purposes in the nations.
- Pray that God will find Africa a worthy runner that will take up the baton of His purpose, make up for any lost grounds by other races and then finish well.
- Pray that in this season of jubilee, God will release the four winds to gather up the African people from the places they have been scattered and bring them back to their rightful inheritances.
- Down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. Pray that the fruit from the tree of life pertaining to this month will be released into your life, church and nation (Rev 22:2)
- “…And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” Pray that the leaves from the tree of life will bring the spiritual, political, physical, social and economical healing of the church, your nation and the nations of the continent of Africa. (Rev 22:1b. Mal 4:2)
The number 6 is the number of man.
- When God created the first righteous man (Gen 1:26-31); He saw that everything was very good. Pray that the LORD will use you & yours, and His Church to make the difference everywhere: anything that is already good will change to very good, you will always leave people and places better than you met them (Joh 10:10, 1Joh 3:8)
- On the other hand, fallen man leaves everything and everyone he comes in contact with worse than he met them (Gen 6:5-11, Eccl 7:27-29, Ps 106:29). Everywhere he goes he attempts to do three major things: 1. Doing away with God, 2. Self-exaltation, 3. Self-glorification. If the number 6 represents each attempt, we end up with 666. This is the number of the antichrist according to Revelation 13:18. Pray that you, your family, business, the church and the nations will be delivered from the influence of this mark of the beast until the appointed time.
The number 10 signifies the perfection of divine order
- As the jubilee horn has began to blow over the nations of Africa, and among African people, pray that the continent and its people will be called to order. Pray that the chaos that has attended the continent, and black people will begin to recede as a spirit of orderliness, plan and precision rises over the nations.
- Pray that the fruit for the 10th month will be released over you, the church, nation and continent.
Jews civil issue
There is pressure on Israel to accept to relinquish the West Bank to the Palestinians for the creation of a Palestinian State. The USA is demanding a simultaneous move towards peace from Israel and the Palestinians in which Israel is requested to cease and demolish illegal settlement structures in the West Bank, and evacuate the Jews living there. Moaz Esther a small Jewish settlement of about 40 people in illegal structures on top of a hill in the West Bank has been demolished in response to this demand, more are to be removed.
- Pray that during this season when Africa is entering her jubilee season, the grace of restoration and returning to the inheritance will also overflow to Israel via the highway of the Lord (Isa 19), so that the nation will recover its rightful inheritance in this season. Pray that the church in Africa in this season will key into praying for God’s purposes to be fulfilled in Israel.
Praying For Jubilee & Key Political Issues
- Three nations of Africa will usher their jubilee season this month. These are DR Congo, Somalia and Madagascar. Praise the Lord for the milestone that these nations have achieved
One common denominator among these three nations is the state of political unrest, destructions and desolations of many generations, spiritual idolatry, sickness, poverty and death. If you have shofar, or ram’s horn, blow it as you make these prophetic prayer and proclamation over these nations. Read Isaiah 61 and Lev 25 and pray for these nations. As their jubilee season is ushered in,
- Blow the shofar and prophetically proclaim that these three nations are going to experience a calling to order. Divine order, sanity, clear direction and vision for these nations will be released upon their leadership at all levels
- As the shofar is blown over these nations, it is a call to war. Pray that God will release His hosts to wage war on every spirit that has brought untold chaos in these nations.
- In that same vein, pray that the slumbering church in these nations will be awakened and provoked to good works by the blowing of the ram’s horn of jubilee.
- The people who were covered in the darkness of ignorance, spiritual idolatry and ancestral worship in these nations will experience a great light of the gospel truth leading to unprecedented levels of soul winning
- Pray that the spirit of joy that follows the blowing of the ram’s horn over the nations will be released. These nations which have experiences blood-shed, weeping, sorrow, famine, will have cause to begin to rejoice in the Lord as He ushers them into the new season of the acceptable year of the Lord’s favour.
- Pray that the blessing of release of captives and slaves back into their inheritance will be part of the blessing these nations will experience. Land and resources that have been hived away from the land will be restored for use to establish the Kingdom of God
- When jubilee came to Israel in Egypt, the once timid, poor slaves were translated into a fearless, rich free people. They plundered Egypt and went out full. That is one purpose of the jubilee. Pray that the jubilee season attending these nations will bring with it a translation of the people to levels they have never been before.
- Pray that as the jubilee blessings begin to be released in the nation, it shall be a day of vengeance for the Lord for those who have stubbornly refused to repent and continue to cause untold destruction of these nations. Whether it be the leaders or people with vested interests from other nations, God will release the evil doers into their season of judgement
One characteristic of these nations is that they are resource rich; yet they suffer abject poverty at many levels. Pray that God will release the sons whom He has been raising in other nations to specially do a work that will fulfil His purposes in DR Congo, Madagascar and Somalia. Among these sons are medical professionals, Christians in the five fold ministry, Engineers, teachers, security personnel, merchants and traders etc.
- Pray that God will begin to place an unshakable burden in the hearts of sons from these lands to return; also for foreigners who will relocate from other nations to come and rebuild these broken nations. (Isa 60:4,9-10)
- When Jews returned to Israel in 1948, they left comfortable lives to come to a strip of desert. However God gave them faith to turn the desert into a fruitful field. Today we see the results thereof. Pray that as these sons return and also relocate, they will not be discouraged when they see the barrenness of these nations. God will give them a strong gift of faith to turn these nations around in whatever sphere of service they will be involved in. (Isa 54:3, 61:4-5)
- Pray that as God brings back responsible sons into these nations, He will begin to release the wealth of the nations so that they can use it to rebuild those desolations (Isa 60:5,13-16)
- Pray for nations facing elections. Thank God for peaceful elections so far carried out in Malawi and South Africa.
- Pray for Iran and Lithuania as they go for presidential elections in this month. Pray that God will raise up His man to rule these nations in this season. (Heb 13:1, 1 Tim 2:1-4)
- Continue to pray for the continuing general elections in South Africa. May peace prevail and God’s chosen people lead the nation in this crucial season.
PRAYING GOD’S PATTERNS INTO THE HEAVENS
“The heavens declare the glory of God…” (Ps 19:1) To declare means recount or narrate the glory or “weight” of God. If God’s word has this to say about the heavens, then it is imperative for God’s children to acquaint themselves with the heavens and their narration.
Crescents and Quarter Moons (Sickles & Bows respectively)
This is a period when the occult increase their enchantments, strength and fortification because of the many dedications that this month attracts from the kingdom of darkness.
The last quarter moon is on the 15th of June 2009 @ 22:15 UT
The first quarter moon for the seventh month is on the 29th of June 2009 @ 11:28 UT
The full moon is on the 07th of June 2009 @ 18:12 UT
The new moon that ushers in the seventh lunar season is on the 22nd of June 2009 @ 19:35 UT
- Using Gen 1:14-16 and Jer 31:35-36, enforce the ordinances of the moon over this month. Declare that no other ordinances and law being enforced using the moon at any one of its phases shall stand. This month, every phase of the moon will glorify God. Declare that The moon will be a light for the dark nights, the moon will characterize God’s purpose for the months and the years, the moon will signal every prophetic event meant for this month and the sons of God will understand these signals. The moon will be a faithful witness to God’s covenant with the earth.
- The quarter moons used by the occult as bows for shooting very destructive arrows of bitter words of curses, barrenness, calamities, failures, incest, and every imaginable evil against the righteous.
- Pray that every bitter word spoken by the occult during any phase of the moon should fall to the ground unfulfilled, and the Lord should turn all curses into blessings for His people worldwide. (1 Sam 3:19; Neh 13:2b)
- The fullness of the wrath of God will come upon every demonic activity and the wicked will receive a just reward for their wickedness at full moon over the earth and over the lives of God’s people round the world? Declare Job 20
The new moon is the gate of entry into the seventh lunar season. It is a Sabbath month of rest.
- This is a time of worship unto the Lord because it is a new moon and a Sabbath month together,. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Eze 46:3 ; Is 66:23 ; Ps 96:9)
The summer solstice is on the 21st of June 2009 @ 05:45 UT
Summer begins in the northern hemisphere because the summer solstice occurs when the sun crosses the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere. It will be the longest day of the year, it is also the first day of summer, the celebration day for the resurrection of Adonis (also called Tammuz and Osiris) with weeping and lamentation and wild revelry and immoral acts.
- Pray that the summer solstice will prophetically be the sign of the light of God that has come and the glory of the Lord which has risen upon you, your family, business, community, church, nation and continent. Pray through Is 60:1-3
- Pray that this jubilee season, the longest day will activate the season in which the church will work harder while it is day for night cometh when no man can work.
- Pray that the summer solstice shall mark a cessation of the works of darkness; as it is also the shortest night.
In this month, the sun passes through a cluster of 83 stars in the constellation called Cancer wrongly symbolized by the crab. The correct symbol is a Scarabaeus Beetle which is an emblem of RESURRECTION.
In ancient Denderah and Hindu cultures, CANCER was represented as a Scarabaeus or sacred beetle. This was considered by the Egyptians as an emblem of the resurrection of the body; since the Scarabaeus passed its earthly existence as a worm of the earth and developed into a winged denizen of heaven. A similar creature is found in America called “the June beetle or bug”. It is reported to pass its earthly existence as a worm buried in the ground for 2 years after which the adult winged beetle emerges from the ground and flies away. Jesus passed His earthly life here on earth, was crucified, died, buried, resurrected and ascended back into heaven. The heavens declare the glorious events of this very vital aspect of the gospel of the Kingdom, which God has placed in the stars – THAT JESUS IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
Some know Jesus as a great prophet who once lived, others know Him as the mighty healer of His time and others too know Him as a Saviour of sorts but few know Him as the resurrection and the Life
- Pray that the heavens will this month declare the glorious testimony that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Pray that God will release signs in the heavens and in dreams and visions over remote areas to attest this truth. As a result, may there be a greater measure of souls won into the kingdom in areas where the gospel has not quite penetrated.
- Pray that there will be an activation and resurrection of various aspects of your life, the church and nation that were hitherto thought to be dead and useless. Unfulfilled destinies, locked or dormant gifting and abilities, disappointments, every dead and grave circumstances and situations of life – they can all hear the voice of the Lord. By Joh 5:25 and Ps 29 command those situations to receive the resurrection life in Jesus. (Eze 37)
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 God is going to bring to a place he has prepared for them.
URSA MINOR 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).
- As a believer, are you one of those that fit the above description? If not, then pray for yourself and the church of Christ worldwide because only this “little flock” will make the Kingdom. (Mat 22:14;Mat 20:16b)
URSA MAJOR represents the sheepfold and the sheep or flock which is the seed that is compared to “the sand of the sea shore” – a larger flock.
- God promised to gather the innumerable seed that was scattered. Thank God for His promises to Israel fulfilled in Is 35:10; Is 51:11; Jer 31:12. Also thank God for the unprecedented levels of soul winning that are coming. Pray that the church will be well prepared to absorb the influx of new converts.
ARGO – the ship, that brings the pilgrims safely home.
- Proclaim Isaiah 60. Declare that in this jubilee season the African Aliya (return to the homeland) will begin as sons of the continent come to rebuild desolations of many generations and inhabit the once desolate places. Pray that the Jewish Aliyah will also continue as many are relocated to their rightful places of inheritance.
