I sense June will be a month of strong wooing by the Holy Spirit to draw us closer to our First Love like never before. Famous for its weddings (bridegrooms and brides) the month of June will usher us ( His Bride) into a new dimension of intimacy with our Bridegroom - the Lord Jesus Christ. Many of us will be led to renew our vows to Him through deep repentance fixing our gaze upon Him - giving Him our undivided attention.

June will be a month of revelation of His perfect love for us casting out fear and demolishing strongholds in our lives.

SPIRITUAL JUNE BUGS

"Is this the one, or shall we look for another?"

--------------------

Because of the power of His love to be released this month, I also see spiritual "June Bugs" being released by the enemy to" bug" us and irritate many from rightly responding to our Bridegroom's call to come into His secret chamber. One thing the enemy will "bug" many with will be this thought. - "Is this the one or should we look for another?" Doubts about the Lord really loving us will surface because of certain situations the enemy taunts us with - "If God really cared you wouldn't be in this situation." Right before a wedding it's sometimes common to doubt our love for the one we are about to make our life long commitment to. And it's common to wonder - "Does he or she really love me enough to make this commitment to me?" The enemy will use this in the Spirit to "bug" many this month from making a full commitment to the Bridegroom. "Don't be a "Runaway Bride!" You can trust Him!

-------------------------------

UNWORTHINESS, THE ENEMY'S PLAN

-------------------------------

The enemy will "bug" many with an overwhelming feeling of unworthiness. But the One who IS Worthy is calling us to come and be cleansed from every spot, wrinkle and blemish. A revelation of "Grace that is greater than all our sin" will abound this month for those who feel they have sinned to the degree that the Lord has given up on them. But as many confess their sins and turn to the Lord they will experience "to whom much is forgiven, the same liveth much." Many under heavy weights of sin right now will bounce back strong as they fall in love with the Lord all over again finding His grace is sufficient!

The enemy will "bug" many in the area of relationships with family, friends and loved ones. As you pray for these people that "bug" you, the Lord says, "I will take the "bugs" out of those relationships and bring them closer through My amazing love.

-------------

AN EARLY 4TH

-------------

As we determine to draw nigh to God in spite of the "June Bugs" many will experience an early fourth of July as God's love explodes like fire-works liberating and setting many free indeed from sin, bondage and addictions.

Oh the power of His Love!

A "love bug" for Jesus,
