June: A month of establishing

June is the sixth month of the year. Six, in Biblical numerology is the number of man. As I was praying for this year I felt the Lord say that June was going to be a month where we would see a visible shift and manifestation of what He is doing within individuals. This is going to be a time of establishing that what has been sown and prepared for the past six months.

For those who are in proper alignment things are going to start falling into place. All of the uncertanties of the past couple of months are going to fall away and there is going to be a new clarity of assignment.

This is also a time of declaration. Start declaring the things that God has shown and promised you. Many of us have wondered why we are not already in possesion of those things that we thought we would be by now. May was a time of grace to prepare us for posssesion. Now it is time to simply walk into what the Lord has prepared for you. It is a time of receiving.

It is a time for the shroud that has been over you to fall away and for you to be revealed to the world. June is a time of coming out. It is your debutante! Just as Jesus came out of the river Jordan so must we be brought into our destiny.

Along with this is a favor before man. The Bible says that Jesus grew in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with both God and man. Favor is our inheritance. We are going to see a radical transformation in how others receive us. Don't be afraid to ask big things. We are going to see provision come from unlikely sources and see access to arenas that we didn't think were possible. This is a time to become aligned with those around you. God is bringing people into covenant and partnership alignment with each other. Ask the Lord to show you who you are supposed to partner with in this season and who you are to form relationships with.

I believe that relationship and covenant is key to this apostolic move. The Lord has had me become increasingly intentional with who I am in relationship with during this time. It is through relationship and covenantal unity that God releases His blessing and power. From Pentecost to the Moravian Outpouring to Azusa Street, we see the power of unity. The Lord is establishing Jonathan and David type relationships. We are going to see a mighty power released when we come together in love and unity. Read 1 Corinthians 13 and mediate on it to see what a Biblical viewpoint of love looks like.

Be careful to not get ahead of where God's wind is carrying you. A key principle that He is teaching us is the importance of covering and carrying each other's vision. Those who are in authority over you will ensure that you are protected and covered during this season. Do not begin any new ministry or major endeavor without their blessing. Ensure that you are in submission to those who God has put over you and don't be afraid to labor under their vision. Elisha carried Elijah's vision for years before the mantle was transferred. David served as Saul's psalmist even though he had already been anointed as king. God rewards us when we are faithful to those who He has placed over us.

Don't be afraid of what God is doing with you. For many it is going to be an acceleration beyond belief during this month. Don't be caught unaware. Remain rooted and know what God's plans are for your life. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that too much change is bad. Rest will come later- now is the time for an acceleration into your destiny and a planting of you into key areas. Many of you will look back at June with wonder for all that God has done in your life. I see many of you being shot out of cannons and into your destiny- you will soar above all the attacks of the enemy.
