- Vernal/Spring Equinox is March 20, 2016 @ 04:30 UTC
- Equinox is that moment in time (not a whole day) when the centre of the Sun can be observed to be directly above the Earth\’s equator. At that point in time, the earth is at zero tilt to the sun.
- On the first day of spring – the vernal equinox—day and night are each approximately 12 hours long (with the actual time of equal day and night, in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring a few days before the vernal equinox). The Sun crosses the celestial equator going northward; it rises exactly due east and sets exactly due west.
- This marks the beginning of spring signifying new life and new beginning. This is a major gate to the seasons of the year because it opens up the year.
- Proclaim Isaiah 43:18-21. Prophesy that the gates to this new season will bring forth a new God-ordained thing in your life, in the Body of Christ and your territory.
- Instruct the gate of the spring season to lift up its head and receive the King of glory who is coming in to reign over the seasons. (Ps 24:7-10)
