From Wilderness to Wonder: A Prophetic Word for the Month of IYAR

As we step into the Hebrew month of Iyar (Ziv), let us tune our hearts to what the Spirit of the Lord is revealing in this season. This is not just another turn of the calendar—it is a divine invitation to step into a time of supernatural healing, revelation, and preparation for promise.

Iyar is the second month of the biblical calendar, nestled between the great deliverance of Passover (Nisan) and the outpouring of Pentecost (Shavuot). In the natural, it is a transitional month.

But in the Spirit, it is a holy bridge—a time when God refines His people and reveals Himself as the Healer, Provider, and Teacher.

 Jehovah Rapha – The Lord Who Heals You

It was in the month of Iyar that God revealed Himself as Jehovah Rapha—“I am the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26). After crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites encountered bitter waters at Marah. God turned those bitter waters sweet and issued a decree: obedience and trust would lead to healing and protection from the plagues of Egypt.

Prophetically, Iyar is a month to lay our physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments before the Lord. Whether you are contending for healing in your body, restoration in relationships, or clarity in your soul, this is a month to believe that God is revealing Himself as your Healer.

HEALING is being released!

Where there has been chronic pain, heart issues, back pain, inflammation of the cerebral cortex, muscle inflammation, and infertility this month will be a month of healing. Emotional trauma you thought you buried is coming to the surface—not to shame you, but so that God can heal it. Marriages that were on the brink are being restored as both hearts soften in the presence of the Lord.

"I am healing not just bodies, but bloodlines, patterns, and memories,” says the Lord.

Provision in the Wilderness

In Iyar, God began to supernaturally provide manna for the Israelites (Exodus 16). Though they had left the bondage of Egypt, they had not yet arrived in the Promised Land. Even in the in-between, the Lord rained down provision.

In Exodus 15:22-27 we see that during the Israelites journey they came to a place of bitterness. The waters of Marah, and once again they began to complain and turn against Moses.

How many times have we done that during transition? We complain, cry, and question God only to see His provision manifest right before our very eyes.

Not only did God provide clean and refreshing water... God didn't leave them there in the place of lack and bitterness, He led them to an oasis.

Exodus 15: 27  says, "Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy trees. They set up their tents there beside the water."

If you find yourself in transition, trust that God has provision for every step.

He is not just the God of arrival—He is the God of the journey.

This month, God is releasing provision for the process.

Look for daily manna.

It may not come in the package you expect, but it will sustain you for what’s ahead.

PROVISION is being made in unusual places!

For some, new jobs or unexpected checks are showing up in the mail. For others, open doors are coming from places you didn’t even knock.

Manna is falling—daily, quiet provision that meets your exact need.

"You will eat and be satisfied, and know it came from My hand alone.”  says the Lord.

Revelation is being poured out like oil

Each Hebrew month is connected to a tribe. Iyar is linked to Issachar, the tribe known for “understanding the times and knowing what Israel should do” (1 Chronicles 12:32).

This month carries an Issachar anointing—a prophetic grace to discern divine timing and strategy.

Ask the Lord for wisdom in your decisions, insight in your assignments, and discernment in your relationships. God is aligning you with His timing and divine appointments. Prophetic dreams are increasing. Discernment is sharpening. God is giving downloads for creative strategies—especially to evangelists, writers, visionaries and pioneers.

This is why you have been through the crushing in this season.

It hard places, and distractions was never meant to take you out, nor does it mean that our heavenly Father didn't hear or sent an answer to you.

Today the Father wants you to know that its was never about ignoring your prayers, nor did you have to do good to earn an answer. 

What feels like crushing is really an invitation into a deeper intimacy with God and to carry fresh oil.

"This season I am re-anointing My people,” "says the Lord. “The oil will flow on those who have been crushed in secret. Those who have remained faithful in the wilderness will carry a fresh oil for wonders. Anoint what I show you, and you will see breakthrough follow.”

IYAR is not a month to retreat—it’s a month to seek, listen, and step boldly into what God is revealing.

Declare with me:“This is my month of divine alignment. I will be healed, I will hear clearly, and I will not lack. Jehovah Rapha and Jehovah Jireh are moving on my behalf!”

Let's Goooo,
