We have entered Elul, the final month of the Hebrew year 5785. This is not just another page on the calendar—it is a spiritual threshold, a prophetic gate, and a time of divine closure. All that God has spoken and done throughout this year now converges into a holy moment of reflection, alignment, and preparation for what lies ahead.
5785 has been a year unlike any other. It has been a year of both holy fire and strange fire—a year of refining, exposing, awakening, and equipping. For many, it has felt like a season of stretching, sifting, and shaking, yet also a season of boldness, authority, and awakening. The Lord has allowed the fires of testing not to destroy His people, but to purify and prepare them for greater glory.
Elul—the closing month of the Hebrew calendar—is traditionally known as a time of repentance, reflection, and intimacy. It is the month when the shofar is sounded daily, calling God’s people to awaken and return to Him. It is also known as the time when the King is in the field—a picture of God’s nearness, accessibility, and invitation to intimacy before the new year begins. This is a month of preparation, where we lay down the old, close unfinished battles, and step into alignment with heaven for the year ahead.
The Spirit of the Lord is declaring over this month:
✨ “The Season of Restoration Begins.” ✨
September will be a month of divine closure and new beginnings. It is the time where the refining fire of 5785 gives way to visible restoration—where what was broken will begin to be rebuilt, where what was stolen will begin to be returned, and where what was delayed will be delivered in God’s perfect timing. This restoration is not only personal but also corporate, cultural, and generational. It is restoration across families, marriages, churches, nations, and even the seven mountains of influence that shape society.
As we step into September, the Lord is calling His people to awaken, align, and prepare for the crossing into 5786. This is not a time to drift. This is a time to finish well, stand watch, and step boldly into restoration. September is a month of closure, culmination, and visible restoration. The Lord says:
“What was broken will be rebuilt. What was stolen will be restored. What was delayed will be delivered. You will not leave this year empty-handed, but carrying evidence of My redeeming power.”
This restoration is not just spiritual—it will manifest in tangible areas:
Families — Prodigals turning back, forgiveness released, generational blessings realigned.
Marriages — Unity rekindled, intimacy renewed, covenant love strengthened.
Finances — Debts cancelled, new provision streams opened, Kingdom entrepreneurs resourced.
Churches & Ministries — Strange fire exposed, true fire purified, unity restored.
Callings — Stalled assignments moving forward, hidden gifts activated, destiny realigned.
🏔️ Restoration Across the Seven Mountains of Influence
September is also a month of seeds being sown into the seven mountains of culture and influence:
Family — Healing of breaches, restoration of honor, generational resets.
Faith (Church) — The Bride purified, strange fire extinguished, worship restored in Spirit and truth.
Government — Corruption exposed, righteous leaders rising like Daniels and Esthers.
Education — Reformers bringing truth into classrooms; young people equipped with wisdom, not just knowledge.
Economy — Crocodile spirit defeated; new wealth transfers and innovations for Kingdom advancement.
Arts & Entertainment — Prophetic creativity rising to shift culture from darkness to light.
Media — Integrity restored; new platforms raised up to carry voices of truth.
🔔 The Sound of the Shofar: Awaken and Prepare
Elul is the month of the shofar—a trumpet blast each day to awaken hearts to repentance and preparation. Prophetically, September is God’s trumpet call:
“Awaken from slumber. Align with My purposes. Prepare for 5786, for it will be a year of multiplication.”
This is not a month to drift. It is a month to return, repent, and realign. The King is in the field—He is near, accessible, and inviting His people into intimacy before the year turns.
⏳ Time Redeemed
September will be marked by time redemption. The Lord is collapsing delays. What should have taken decades will happen in months. Restored time, restored opportunities, and accelerated fruit will mark this month.
🛡️ A Watchman’s Month
As the gate of the year, September is a watchman’s month. Intercessors, prophets, and leaders must guard the transition into 5786. Strange fires may try to rise once more, but the Church must remain sober, united, and discerning. This month is not just about receiving—it is about standing guard over what God has entrusted.
🌍 Nations Will Tremble and Align
This month carries a word for the nations. Expect political upheavals, exposures, and shifting alliances. What looks like instability is actually God clearing the ground for righteousness. Watch Israel closely—her timeline is a prophetic signpost. September will begin a season of global realignment that will ripple into 5786.
🌈 Covenant Promises Renewed
The Lord is also renewing covenant promises in September. He is breathing life into marriages, re-establishing inheritance, and reminding His people of promises long delayed. What He began, He will finish. What looked lost will be redeemed.
🌾 Harvest Dimension
This is not just restoration of what was lost—it is also harvest of what was faithfully sown in tears throughout 5785. September is the month of gathering. Expect to see the first fruits of prayers, seeds, and sacrifices bearing visible results.
