Happy New Moon – Sivan

Happy Rosh Chodesh!! Happy New Moon !! 🎉🎉🎉🤗❤🙏

Today, at sunset marks the start of the third month in Hebrew calendar called Sivan. Depending on where you are situated the new moon may be observed from the 30th to 31st of May. ❤🙏 🎊

Interesting facts about the month of Sivan

  1. In the Torah , it is mentioned simply as the the third month , see Exodus 19:1
  2. The name Sivan is mentioned once in the bible in the book of Esther , see Esther 8:9
  3. On the third day of the month the LORD instructed Moses to “set a boundary”~ (hagbalah) for the people in the preparation for the coming revelation to be given 3 days later, which was the giving of the Torah. See Exodus 19: 9-15
  4. The first five days of the month of Sivan anticipate the day that the Torah was revealed to Israel at Sinai, namely on the 6th of Sivan which was at that time exactly 7 weeks after the Exodus from Egypt. I do not believe its a fixed day as some do,  but rather that we always count from the Sabbath of first fruits until the 49th day. 
  5. Most importantly this month commemorates the giving of the Holy Spirit/Ruach Ha-kodesh to the followers in Jesus/Yeshua after His ascension to Heaven 😊🎉🙏🎉 
Numbers 10-10 : 10 "And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts, and in your new moons, ye shall sound with the trumpets at your whole-burnt-offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and there shall be a memorial for you before your God: I [am] the Lord your God.” 
Psalm 81- 3 to 4:  3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast. 4 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.”

The Purpose of the New Moon

  • 🙏 Appreciate and thank God for what He is doing in your life
  • ➡️ Repentance
  • ❤ Receive a word from the Lord
  • 🙌 Worship God
  • 🎉 Have a feast

The commandment to sanctify the new moon of Sivan reveals our responsibility to sanctify (i.e. observe) biblical time in general. This implies that when we observe the month that the Torah was revealed to Israel , we are infact acknowledging that time itself is rooted in the biblical calendar with its divinely inspired cycle of holy days and feasts (i.e. the moedim).

May you have a blessed new moon 🤗🙏!

General Spiritual Warfare Prayers and Scriptures

Hope in the Lord of Lords and King of Kings

Today , the Lord gave me a confirmation of making this post and encouraging others to continue to Hope in the Lord.

About a day or so ago , in prayer the Lord showed me in psalm 147, through His word how He takes pleasure and delights indeed in those that HOPE in His Mercy, and those that HOPE in Him. I pondered and meditated on these verse, what a wonderful Heavenly Father, we do serve. 🤗😊🙌🙌 and I certainly want the Lord to take pleasure and delight in me.

Today in prayer, I got more confirmation as the Lord Jesus Christ led me to read psalms 71 and 78.

These are more verses from psalm 71 and 78 of Hoping in the Lord.

Psalm 71 is about God’s constant presence and Help. It’s about how David put his hope and trust in the Lord to deliver him from those that seek to harm and hurt him. 🙏🙏 Psalm 78, is a reminder of how the children of Israel should hope in God, how they did in the past, and the consequences of not trusting and hoping in the Lord. It describes how they relied on their own understanding and took things into their own hands by running after false gods. Indeed , this is what happens when you give up hope and allow a spirit of discouragement and despair to take over you. It’s the opposite of hope. This is so ENCOURAGING to me, to not give into despair or discouragement but to HOPE in the Lord.

Here in South Africa, where I am based, the government is putting in place amendments to the Health Act, where people can be forced in quarantine facilities if they are deemed a health threat, then against their will given appropriate “medical treatment”. Those that are awake will already know what I am talking about, and it’s happening in other places of the world too.

But despite all this, Yah is tell me, He has everything under control, He is in control, I put my HOPE and TRUST in Him. He alone knows how to deliver and save His people. I know as we get closer to the DAY OF THE LORD, it’s also exciting for those believers that are giving their all to Lord Jesus Christ…🤗🎉🎉🎉 God has got us, we need to continue to HOPE IN HIM. He will guide us and tell us what to do, where to go, how to prepare for the END TIMES. I pray that we all do indeed increase in our Hope and faith in the Lord.
