The first of each new month is an occasion for special prayers and celebration. Rosh Kodesh is announced in the synagogue on the preceding Sabbath with a special prayer for the new month... (for Jewish people)
As believers in Jesus Christ, we ‘hold fast’ to that which is good... not to be saved... but because we believe... to take the opportunity to praise the Name of the Lord and to set our entire month before Him. We lay out our calendars to the Lord and we ask Him to bless our month. We pray and we quote the scriptures and the theme He has for us at this time. We are seeing good things come to pass as we do this by faith... Some of the good ‘fruit’ we have reaped is as follows: harvest, firm faith, rest, hope, obedience, and restoration, fear of the Lord, mini-millenium, worship the Lord. As we seek His Word, He gives us specific insights into how to pray and what to claim by faith.
The ‘fruit of the month’ in Rev. 22:1-5 is becoming to us a present reality as well as a future happening. The apostle John tells of what the Lord is showing him... The river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, down the middle of the city’s street. On either side of the river stood a ‘tree of life’ which yields twelve crops of fruit, one for each month of the year... the leaves if the trees serve for the healing of the nations... curses shall disappear - they shall reign with Him forevermore.... Why not claim that NOW not only hereafter!!!!!
God is a God of decency and order... record...
identify ‘mine’ Jn. 17:11 ‘Father protect through the power of your Name those You have given me...
Pray for the month... the gift of it....
Search our your identity in the Body of Christ... Know who He is... who you are in Him... your ministry... your talents.... gifts... the fellowship God has knit into you...
Who is your legitimate authority now... who is over you in the Lord? Lk. 7:1-10
Who are you over, in the Lord, for now... who are yours to love, to care for, to be under, to instruct, to cover, for now - who do you listen to? who do you get words for? who gets scriptures, words, for you? Stop and evaluate, test, and come up with the anser now, and stop wondering and groping.
Look back at the last few weeks - months - in your spiritual journal.
Abraham cared and prayed for Lot. Gen. 19:29
David respected Saul’s office.
Samuel-David relationship... David was Nathan’s for a time. Nathan heard from God for David for a time... David listened.... when Samuel died, David lost one who ministered to God for him in Intercessory prayer... then David learned to hear from God, personally... Saul was Samuel’s, then God told Samuel to stop praying for him.... Saul’s family were David’s for a time... Jonathan, Mephibosheth.
In all parts of the Bible, you can trace this principle out... Do a dig on it, if God leads you... Timothy was Paul’s... who were Elisha’s? The widow II Kings 8, Lk. 4:24,
leper II Kings 5:14... (although there were many widows and orphans and lepers in Israel, Elisha knew who were his...)
Who confirms what God has been saying to you? As your read His Word, write down what you think God is saying....
What is the Holy Spirit teaching you - through the word and others?
