October 25 marked the beginning of the Biblical month of Cheshvan. Cheshvan is the 8th month of the Biblical calendar. The number 8 represents new beginnings, which has given Cheshvan the same name: “Month of New Beginnings.”

At Word Alive, we follow the Hebraic calendar, and we’ve just entered the Hebraic year of 5783. This is a significant year because it speaks of the abundance God wants to pour into our lives.

It is a new season; It’s a new day. Just as we’re shifting from summer to fall—as seasons shift in the natural realm—seasons also shift in the spirit.

We are in a season of the Hebraic calendar known as teshuva—repentance—and it is a period of 40 days when we look into our hearts and return to God so we can be restored to the high place.

It’s the month of August, and we are excited about what God is doing. We really believe he is speaking to us about being an epicenter of freedom and transformation.

The word in the atmosphere right now is transformation. We are believing in this season that there will not only be change but there will be some radical deaths—death to old lifestyles, old habits, old hangups—and there will be a resurrection of new life.

We recently had a powerful prophetic moment at Word Alive International Outreach with Chris Reed of MorningStar Ministries. Check out the video, and also learn about counting the omer.
