| 10th Month Tevet
December- January
|
Tevet is the tenth of the twelve months of the Jewish calendar. Ten is the number of Godly Authority. Pray for our Commander in Chief so godly authority is established. The enemy has great strategies in this month to pull leaders away. If you are not aware of this, you will not pray correctly for the leaders God has given you. The enemy knows when you have a good leader that is giving you the right revelation to move forward. One of the ways the enemy will try to get to you is through your leaders, which is why the Lord says to pray for them.
Tevet is also the number of testimony. The 10 commandments were in Ark of the Testimony. The month of Tevet begins the winter season, whose three months—Tevet, Shevat, Adar—correspond to the three tribes of the camp of Dan—Dan, Asher, Naphtali—who were situated on the north side of Moses’ Tabernacle. |

However, Tevet falls during a time of secular holidays, so this is a good time to fast because usually we have eaten too much holiday goodies. Fasting for three days at certain times is built into us and it cleanses the blood. This month brings reflection as we consider the beginning of the new Roman calendar year and winding down the last quarter of the Hebrew calendar year. |

| Hebrew Alphabet: AYIN | Tevet is associated with the Hebrew letter AYIN, which pictures an eye. This is a month to let your good eye see. Getting focused is very important as you war against the evil eye and break the power of evil watchers. If you do not break the power of the evil eye this month, this power will try to guide you in the future. We must understand the evil eye structure, which is imbedded in our culture and causes dark angels and evil structures to manipulate us.
The AYIN also pictures a spring or well. This month is a time for new life to flow. |
|||
| Tribe: Dan | The tribe associated with Tevet is the tribe of Dan. This is a month to judge, grow up and mature. Dan was the 5th son of Jacob and the 1st son of Rachel by her maid, Bilhah. His name means “to rule, to judge or to execute judgment.”
Pray for new artistic and creative expressions in worship this month, and ask God how to form a rear guard over the past season. Pay attention to the prophetic words over your life so you do not miss your destiny. Be willing to war when God calls you and stand for your inheritance and don’t back down. Step on the serpent’s head this month. |

| Characteristics | The month of the ending of Chanukah: in the midst of destruction, there is mercy. A month of holy anger or righteous indignation; be angry but sin not. This month is a time to pray for your Commander in Chief. Review education for initiation into the next phase of life. This month is a good time to fast to purify the blood so your brain and heart function properly. . | |||

Capricorn (the goat)-Beware of making wrong alignments
Tevet is associated with the constellation of Capricorn, which pictures a goat. This is a dangerous time because you are going to see nations that are not allies of covenant, the goat nations, take a wrong turn. Tevet is a month of holy anger and righteous indignation. Things that are out of order begin to manifest. We can be angry but we must not sin. Emotions have a fine line. If you cross that line, your soul will get damaged; and your promise will not manifest. In Ephesians 4:26-27 anger, “giving place to the devil” is equated with demonization. That was written to Christians. If you are not spending time at some point during the year to make sure your emotions are under the control of the Spirit of God, they will erupt like a volcano. When that happens, the damage is already done. You need to exercise spiritual discipline throughout the year. If you do not, then when you are tested, you will erupt. This is very practical. God will set a time for you to do this. |
