- Today @ 02:41p.m is the new moon
- Psalm 81.1-4. The Lord commanded that in the season of the new moon men should offer sacrifices and gather solemnly before Him in worship, repentance and welcoming the Lord into the gates of each new month. Today we are not into observances, but during such seasons, there should be heightened intercession, worship and adoration to the Lord.
- The kingdom of darkness is aware of the season and what it signifies. They want to possess that gate of time. Proclaim Psalm 145-150 over the gates of the new month as signified by the appearance of the new moon.
- Take time at the new moon to proclaim the greatness of the Lord and to welcome the King of glory into this gate of the new month. Psalm 104.19, 136.9
- Command the new moon to govern the nights of this new month according to the patterns set forth by the Lord and ignore every bidding from the kingdom of darkness. Psalm 19.1-2
- At the new moon, take time to prophesy the purposes of the Lord into the new month; shape the days ahead as you see them through the Lord’s inspiration. Speak into the coming month and declare the Lord’s purposes for your life, family, the Body of Jesus Christ and your territ Deut 28.1-14, Psalm 23, 91, 121.
Celebrating Firstfruits keeps us SEEKING!
By understanding, celebrating, and giving at Firstfruits each month, you gain momentum in the Spirit, and eventually God\’s blessings overtake you! This produces a Kingdom mentality in you. You learn to give your best each month! This is so different than tithing! This concept builds within you the call to SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST and then WATCH ALL ELSE BE ADDED!
When we quit seeking Him first, we lose momentum! This is a time to gain Kingdom strength and momentum NOW! Matthew 11:12 says, \”And from the days of John the Baptist until NOW the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.\” This was the statement that the Lord made to John the Baptist\’s disciples. John, who had chosen not to move with Jesus in his three year ministry of revolution, was now imprisoned. During this time, he had begun to question the One whom he had paved the way for, to produce the redemption of mankind. Jesus\’ ministry was gaining momentum and John\’s ministry was coming to a close.
JESUS had just finished His charge to His twelve disciples and left there to teach and to preach in their Galilean cities. Only Philip and Andrew had left John\’s wineskin and transferred to keep following the Lord and seeking the Kingdom.
