THE MONTH OF AV(JULY/AUGUST)5774 July 27, 2014 at 11:13pm In the Hebrew calendar, we are in the month of Av. It is the 5th month and is connected to the tribe of Simeon. The name Simeon means to hear. Simeon is the 2nd son of Jacob and Leah. 2 can also be linked with covenant, witness, agreement, and union, as in one new man (Jew/Gentile) It is also the number of the Son (Jesus), the 2nd person of the Godhead. Leah made a decree at the birth of Simeon, Because God hath heard that I was unloved, he hath given me this son also. We must be able to discern by divine insight that there is a redemptive grace (being the 5th month, and 5 being the number of grace), connected to this month. Av literally means Father, or to will, or to desire. It is both the will and desire of the Father for the sons to receive and enter into the fullness of the covenant promises of inheritance. We must position ourselves during this month to be able to hear the voice of the Father and to operate from a conscious mindset of total obedience in order to receive the full benefit of the covenant promises of God. This is the month that God had positioned and purposed for Israel to enter the Promised Land, and enter into covenant rest (blessings). This was also the month that God had ordained for the sons Of God (Israel) to walk into their inheritance. Because Simeon was a part of the camp of Reuben(which included Reuben, Simeon, and Gad), there is a continued unfolding of the revelation of the inheritance of Sonship. It was actually on the 9th of Av that the nation of Israel got in agreement with the evil report of the 10 spies, (Numbers 13:31-14:10), and set up a pattern of death and destruction in their lives that caused that particular generation to lose their place of inheritance in God. This pattern of destruction has been documented throughout their history, and will continue until they fully embrace the Lordship of Jesus The Christ (Galatians 3:13-14). This generation died out after a 40 year period of wilderness wandering, never seeing or entering the promise of God. Even in the midst of this cycle of destruction, we see the redemptive grace that is attached to this month. After the wilderness wandering, and the first generation died out, God ushered the 2nd generation, the generation of promise,(the Sonship generation) into their place of promise. We must also see ourselves as the seed of promise (Psalms 22:30). We are the covenant seed(sons) through Christ (Isaiah 8:18), and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29). As we discern the voice of the good shepherd (John 10:4-5) during this month of the Father, we receive revelation and guidance down the pathway to inheritance (Sonship) (Romans 8:14). This month is also connected to the constellation of Leo(Lion), which is representative of the Kingly rule(Judah) and divine will of the Father (Amos 3:8). It is so vitally important that we allow God to attune and synchronize our hearing to his voice in this season so that we dont miss our time of entering in. Look at the prophetic picture of your ear. It is shaped like a womb, and your faith is developed (birthed) by hearing the word(voice) of God (Romans 10:17). It is critically important that we allow God to birth within us the desire to become the will of God in demonstration and become the actual testimony of the son (Matthew 7:21, 11:27, John 5:17, 19-27). This will help us to begin to understand who we are called to be, and give us some insight into our inheritance as sons of glory (1 Peter 2:9-10). This is the month that God had actually ordained as a celebration of his goodness and also the celebration of receiving our covenant promises. So this is the month that we have to make some critical choices in our lives. Do we hear and obey the voice of the Father, and walk into our place of inheritance as Sons, or do we embrace the voice of faithlessnes, which gives birth to anevil report, and wander aimlessly through an unordained wilderness experience and die? (Deuteronomy 30:15-20) This month is also connected to the Hebrew alphabet tet, which paints a picture of a womb, and reveals the secrets of the pregnancy of the earth, and gives insight into the manifestation (birthing) of the sons of God (Romans 8:15-19, Galatians 4:4-7).This is not a season of laboring, it is a season of birthing! Tet is also representative of the number 9 which is representative of harvest, fruit of the womb(sons of God), fruitfulness, divine completeness. This is the time and season that God is repositioning and purposing the sons of the Kingdom with a spirit of expectation and a mentality and determination to receive a full measure of harvest and inheritance. The inheritance of Sonship includes a continual cycle of harvest where we are in perfect alignment and synchronization with the Father.There has been a release of the Fathers Heart and a spirit of Fathering to those who have truly embraced the heart of the Father(Malachi 4:6). This is also the month that God has determined that we have a greater discernment of the voices of those that he has placed in our lives in a leadership or fathering capacity, and that we get ourselves in proper covenant alignment with those Fathers. Blessings! Shalom!
