Our month of May this year, falls in between Nissan and Iyyar. We have three feasts and commemorative events take place during March/April to May. YHVH commanded the children of Israel to observe 7 specific festivals. These are the Passover, Unleavened bread, First Fruits; Pentecost; Trumpets; Atonement and Tabernacles. They are not festivals for the Jewish believers or for religious people. These are feasts that were commissioned by YHVH and have very specific spiritual significance to the kingdom citizens. They mark key milestones in the kingdom of YHVH.
May is the fifth (5th) month of the Gregorian calendar. The month is named after the Roman goddess, MAIA. The Romans believed that MERCURY was the god of merchandise and merchants, and is commonly identified with the Greek HERMES who is believed to be the fleet-footed messenger of the gods.
The worship of Mercury (to whom the planet is dedicated) was associated with the worship of the Roman goddess Maia who is identified as his mother by her association with the Greek Maia – mother of Hermes. Both Mercury and Maia were honoured in pagan festivals on May l5th the dedication day of the Temple of Mercury on the Aventine (built around 500 BC)
In classical mythology, Maia is considered the mother of Pleiades (a cluster of 7 stars). The helical (near dawn) rising of Pleiades in spring in the Northern Hemisphere, marked the opening of sea faring and farming seasons. In medieval and modern Europe, 1st May was a day of traditional springtime celebration which starts off with agricultural rituals. Such rites were intended to ensure fertility to the crops, cattle and human beings. May 1 or May Day is also the International Labour Day.
Our goal is to establish the rule of God in all facets of national and individual life; whilst reconciling things back to God. This information helps you to know how to watch, pray and overcome an already impregnated season of time by pagans especially and specifically for finances and agriculture. This time period is often bedevilled by strikes, lockouts and riots.
WERE YOU BORN IN MAY?
- Pray that every negative word operating in your life; that was uttered about you before or when you were conceived, when you were in your mother’s womb, when your sex was discovered, during labor, at the point of your coming into the world, when you were being dedicated, when you were too little to understand or revoke those words; or words that have been spoken unbeknownst to you. He was always there and has a record of everything.
- Ask God to utter His voice and silence every negative voice speaking contrary to His purposes for your life and to blot out every judgmental voice Col 2.14, Heb 12.24.
- Declare to all creation to echo only that which Jehovah is saying concerning you. Gen 33:13-17; Psalm 19:2, 23; 121, 139, Deut 28:2-14, Jer 29.11
