HEBREW MONTH OF ELUL
AUGUST 25-SEPTEMBER 22, 2025
HEBREW MONTH OF TISHREI
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22, 2025
ELUL:
Our world right now is in a time of political hostilities, global threats, racism, terrorism, environmental poisons, personal concerns and on and on. And that’s all real.
But there’s another “real” that trumps that “real.”
Running parallel with that is another “realm.” The kingdom of heaven. No chaos exists there!
The faith advantage we have in any situation: We sit in heavenly places!!
“He has raised us up and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6
Declarations:
*I sit in heavenly places.
*I gain new perspective for every situation.
*I rule from a higher position.
The month of Elul was when Israel should have moved to take their promised land...but they didn’t. All because of huge grapes and giants. No doubt there were enemies living on Israel’s land. If they had believed and acted on the word of the Lord, the huge grapes would have fed their families and the giants would have been big targets, not to be missed.
Elul for us is divine access into our new place.
TISHREI: ROSH HASHANAH:
HEAD OF THE YEAR 5786
This month is called the gate of new beginnings. It implies that God will give a “do-over.” He redeems our time, our faith, our health, our finances, our vocation, our nation – whatever needs redemption.
Here’s the key: do not try to figure out “how” He redeems all that. Just believe it. This is the time to bring all the ‘redemption worthy stuff’ before God. All the past issues that brought no joy, no life, no sense of prospering…can be broken off. Grace activates faith to believe for the new and good in the midst of every bad, old thing that follows you like your shadow. Grace activates new things that are overflowing with abundance and goodness.

We’ll talk more about the new year in the months to come, but for now…
When you ‘stake a claim’ to something, you say (Pey) you have a right to it and it belongs to you.
5786 – STAKE YOUR CLAIM!
If the word says it’s mine, it’s mine! I stake it!
DeeAnn and I appreciate you, bless you and pray you experience new joys, strength and revelation.
Thank you for your generosity in giving, intercession and encouragement.
Staking Claim From Far Above,
Sandy Newman and DeeAnn Ward
