In developing this calendar (blog-prayer guide), prophets are used to bring current words from the LORD*. (See last page.) Each month the contributors change, and some months have multiple contributions from a particular author depending on what they received that month. Many Christians do not have access to publications such as the Elijah List, Judaism 101, or teachings from the many contributing authors which are included.* 1 Thessalonians 5:20 Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets (do not depreciate prophetic revelations) nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning.

It’s been eight years in June since we started publishing the Prayer Calendar-Blog based on the Hebrew Lunar Cycle, so for anyone joining us for the first time, I want to give some background. In Genesis 1:1 the very first words GOD speaks are “In the beginning,” and according to Rabbinical teaching, the very first commandment given to the children of Israel while in Egypt was to sanctify the “New Moon.” From that point on, the nation of GOD was to look at the moon for the setting of their days and evenings and as a means to reconcile the times and seasons. The Biblical day begins at sundown and ends at sundown the following day. At sundown, it is known as the dawning of a new day.
