A Teaching Letter on the Ordained Month of Sivan
The Hebrew Root Meaning of Sivan, Covenant, and Revelation

Grace, peace, and understanding be multiplied unto you through the mercy of the Most High God, the Holy One of Israel.

Beloved brothers and sisters,
I write this teaching letter to bring deeper understanding concerning the ordained Biblical month of Sivan (סִיוָן), the third month on the Hebrew calendar beginning from Aviv/Nisan according to the order established in Scripture.
This is a sacred season of:

Covenant

Consecration

Revelation

Harvest

Spiritual maturity

The giving of divine instruction
Sivan is not merely another point in time upon a calendar. It is a prophetic reminder that God did not deliver His people from bo***ge simply to set them free from oppression, but to bring them into covenant relationship with Himself.

The Third Month Before God
The Scriptures declare:
“In the third month, when the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.”
Exodus 19

The third month is therefore forever connected to:
Mount Sinai

The presence of God

Fire upon the mountain

The sound of the trumpet

Covenant revelation

After Israel departed from Egypt during Passover, they journeyed through the wilderness toward an encounter with the Holy One.

This reveals an important spiritual truth:

Deliverance is the beginning of the journey, not the completion of it.

God calls His people out of bo***ge so they may become holy and obedient before Him.

Sivan and Preparation
Before the people approached the mountain, they were instructed to sanctify themselves.

“Sanctify them today and tomorrow…”
In Exodus 19

This teaches us that preparation matters before entering deeper fellowship with God.

Sivan is therefore a month calling believers toward:

Cleansing

Repentance

Reverence

Spiritual readiness

Separation from impurity

The people washed their garments and prepared themselves because the Holy One was descending upon Sinai.

Likewise, believers are called to prepare the heart before God daily.

The Revelation at Sinai
At Sinai:
The mountain trembled

Smoke filled the air

Fire descended

Trumpets sounded

The voice of God thundered

This was not ordinary.

This was covenant revelation.

The Creator was forming a people separated unto Himself.

Sivan teaches that truth is holy and must be approached with humility and fear of God.

The Feast of Weeks, Shavuot
Shavuot (Pentecost)
Sivan contains the appointed Feast of Weeks, also called Shavuot.
This feast occurs after the counting of the Omer:

49 + 1 = 50

Fifty days after First Fruits.

Shavuot is connected to:

Wheat harvest

Firstfruits

Thanksgiving

Covenant

Divine instruction

It marks both physical harvest and spiritual harvest.

The Father teaches through His appointed times that harvest follows obedience, patience, and preparation.

The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
In the Book of Acts, during Shavuot, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the believers.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come…”
Acts 2:1

The word Pentecost means “fiftieth,” directly corresponding to the counting toward Shavuot.

At Sinai:
God wrote upon stone tablets

In Acts:
God began writing upon hearts through His Spirit

This fulfills the promise spoken by the prophets concerning the law being written inwardly.

The Hebrew Root Understanding of Sivan
Sivan reminds believers of several foundational truths:

1. Redemption Leads to Covenant

God saves people for relationship and obedience.

2. Holiness Is Required

Sinai reveals the importance of reverence before God.

3. Revelation Requires Preparation

The people prepared themselves before hearing from God.

4. The Spirit Empowers Obedience

The Holy Spirit strengthens believers to walk according to truth.

5. Harvest Requires Growth

Sivan is tied to maturity and fruitfulness.

Spiritual Reflection for Sivan
This is a fitting season to examine:

Our walk with God

Our obedience

Our spiritual fruit

Our reverence for Scripture

Our willingness to hear His voice

Sivan invites believers to draw near with humility and expectation.

A Prayer for the Month of Sivan
Heavenly Father,
Teach us to walk in holiness and truth before You. Sanctify our hearts as You sanctified Your people before Sinai. Write Your instruction upon our hearts through Your Spirit. Remove rebellion, pride, distraction, and compromise from within us. Help us hear Your voice clearly and obey faithfully.

May we become fruitful servants who honor You in every season. Let us approach You with reverence, gratitude, and love.
In the name of Yeshua the Messiah, amen.

Recommended Scripture Study for Sivan

Exodus 19–20

Leviticus 23:15–22

Deuteronomy 16:9–12

Psalm 119

Jeremiah 31:31–33

Ezekiel 36:26–27

Acts 2

May this month become a season of deeper covenant, greater spiritual maturity, and renewed reverence for the Holy One of Israel.

With peace and devotion in the fear of God.

A Teaching Letter for the Month of Iyar (אִיָּר)
חֹדֶשׁ הָרְפוּאָה, הַזִּכּוּךְ, וְהַצִּיּוּת הַיּוֹמְיוֹמִי

Beloved,
אֲהוּבִים,

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of the Most High, the Creator of heaven and earth, who orders times and seasons with divine precision.
חֶסֶד וְשָׁלוֹם יִרְבּוּ לָכֶם בְּדַעַת אֱלֹהֵינוּ הָעֶלְיוֹן, בּוֹרֵא הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ, הַמְּסַדֵּר זְמַנִּים וּמוֹעֲדִים בְּחָכְמָה שְׁלֵמָה.

We now enter the sacred span of the month of Iyar, the second month in the Biblical calendar—a time often hidden, yet filled with depth, instruction, and transformation.
אָנוּ נִכְנָסִים עַתָּה לַתְּקוּפָה הַקְּדוֹשָׁה שֶׁל חֹדֶשׁ אִיָּר, הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי בַּלּוּחַ הַמִּקְרָאִי—זְמַן שֶׁלְּעִתִּים נִסְתָּר, אַךְ מָלֵא עֹמֶק וְשִׁנּוּי.

The Journey Between Redemption and Revelation
הַמַּסָּע בֵּין גְּאֻלָּה לְהִתְגַּלּוּת

Iyar stands between Passover and Shavuot, between deliverance and covenant.
אִיָּר עוֹמֵד בֵּין פֶּסַח לְשָׁבוּעוֹת—בֵּין גְּאֻלָּה לִבְרִית.

Passover reveals the power of God to redeem.
שָׁבוּעוֹת reveals the giving of His Word.
פֶּסַח מַגְלֶה אֶת כֹּחַ הַגְּאֻלָּה.
שָׁבוּעוֹת מַגְלֶה אֶת מַתַּן דְּבָרוֹ.

But Iyar… is the wilderness.
אֲבָל אִיָּר… הוּא הַמִּדְבָּר.

It is where the redeemed learn to walk in obedience.
זֶהוּ הַמָּקוֹם שֶׁבּוֹ הַנִּגְאָלִים לוֹמְדִים צִיּוּת.

“I Am the LORD That Heals You”
“אֲנִי יְהוָה רֹפְאֶךָ”

During this journey, God reveals Himself as Healer.
בְּתוֹךְ הַמַּסָּע הַזֶּה, הָאֱלֹהִים מִתְגַּלֶּה כְּרוֹפֵא.

“For I am the LORD that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:26)
“כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה רֹפְאֶךָ.” (שמות ט״ו:כ״ו)

Healing in Iyar is not instant, it is cultivated through trust and obedience.
הָרְפוּאָה בְּאִיָּר אֵינָהּ מִיָּדִית—הִיא נִבְנֵית דֶּרֶךְ אֱמוּנָה וְצִיּוּת.

The Counting of the Omer
סְפִירַת הָעוֹמֶר

Each day is counted as part of a sacred refining process.
כָּל יוֹם נִסְפָּר כְּחֵלֶק מִתַּהֲלִיךְ זִכּוּךְ קָדוֹשׁ.

Transformation is not found in one moment but in daily surrender.
הַשִּׁנּוּי אֵינוֹ בְּרֶגַע אֶחָד—אֶלָּא בְּהִתְמַדָּה יוֹמְיוֹמִית.

Daily Bread and Dependence
לֶחֶם יוֹמִי וְתְלוּת

Manna was given daily, not stored.
הַמָּן נִתַּן יוֹם בְּיוֹם, לֹא לְאַגִּירָה.

So it is with grace, strength, and provision.
כָּךְ גַּם הַחֶסֶד, הַכֹּחַ וְהַפַּרְנָסָה.

Iyar teaches us to depend on God each day.
אִיָּר מְלַמֵּד אוֹתָנוּ תְּלוּת יוֹמְיוֹמִית בֵּאלֹהִים.

A Call to Healing and Order
קְרִיאָה לְרְפוּאָה וְסֵדֶר

Let this month be marked by alignment and discipline:
יִהְיֶה הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה זְמַן שֶׁל הִתְיַשְּׁרוּת וּמִשְׁמַעַת:

- Cleanse what has been carried too long
לְנַקּוֹת מַה שֶּׁנִּשָּׂא יוֹתֵר מִדַּי
- Restore what has been neglected
לְשַׁקֵּם מַה שֶּׁנִּזְנַח
- Establish order in life and spirit
לְיַסֵּד סֵדֶר בַּחַיִּים וּבָרוּחַ
- Walk in prayer, fasting, and study
לָלֶכֶת בִּתְפִלָּה, צוֹם וְלִמּוּד

Prayer for the Month of Iyar
תְּפִלָּה לְחֹדֶשׁ אִיָּר

O Most High, Healer of all flesh,
אֱלֹהִים עֶלְיוֹן, רוֹפֵא כָּל בָּשָׂר,

Teach us Your ways in this appointed time.
לַמְּדֵנוּ דְּרָכֶיךָ בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה.

Heal what is hidden and restore what is broken.
רְפָא אֶת הַנִּסְתָּר וְשַׁקֵּם אֶת הַשָּׁבוּר.

Give us this day our daily bread and a heart that trusts You.
תֵּן לָנוּ לֶחֶם יוֹמֵנוּ וְלֵב בּוֹטֵחַ בָּךְ.

Refine us as we walk each day before You.
זַכֵּךְ אוֹתָנוּ בְּכָל יוֹם שֶׁאָנוּ הוֹלְכִים לְפָנֶיךָ.

Prepare us to receive Your truth in fullness.
הָכֵן אוֹתָנוּ לְקַבֵּל אֶת אֲמִתְּךָ בִּשְׁלֵמוּת.

Amen.
אָמֵן.

Do not despise this quiet month.
אַל תִּבְזֶה אֶת הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשָּׁקֵט הַזֶּה.

For in the quiet, true transformation is formed.
כִּי בַּשֶּׁקֶט נִבְנֵית הַהִשְׁתַּנּוּת הָאֲמִתִּית.

Walk faithfully.
לֵךְ בֶּאֱמוּנָה.

Shalom.
שָׁלוֹם.

The Month of Iyar (אִיָּר)
The Month of Healing, Refinement, and Daily Obedience

Beloved,

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of the Most High, the Creator of heaven and earth, who orders times and seasons with divine precision.

We now enter the sacred span of Iyar, the second month in the Biblical calendar, a month often overlooked, yet deeply rich in meaning, instruction, and transformation.

This is not a month of outward spectacle, but of inward formation.

The Journey Between Redemption and Revelation

Iyar stands between two pillars of divine encounter: Passover and Shavuot.

Passover marks deliverance, the mighty hand of God bringing His people out of bo***ge.
Shavuot marks revelation, the giving of His Word, His instruction, His covenant.

But Iyar…
Iyar is the wilderness.

It is the space where the redeemed learn how to walk as sons and daughters.

Here, there are no plagues, no parted seas, only daily dependence. Only manna. Only trust.

“I Am the Lord That Heals You”

During this very journey, the Most High reveals Himself in a new way:

“If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God… I will put none of these diseases upon thee… for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:26)

This declaration Yahweh Rapha emerges not in Egypt, not at Sinai, but in the in-between.

This is the heart of Iyar:
- Healing of the body
- Healing of the mind
- Healing of habits
- Healing of identity

Not instant, but progressive. Not loud, but faithful.

The Counting of the Omer: A Daily Alignment

Each day of Iyar is counted within the Counting of the Omer, a sacred numbering of days from First Fruits to Shavuot.

This counting is not for remembrance alone, it is for refinement.

Each day asks:
- Will you walk in obedience today?
- Will you trust provision today?
- Will you be disciplined in the unseen today?

Transformation is not found in a single moment, but in repeated surrender.

The Discipline of Daily Bread

In this month, heaven teaches a holy rhythm.

Manna does not fall for storage.
It falls daily.

This breaks the spirit of fear, hoarding, and self-reliance.

So too in your life:
- You are given strength for today
- Grace for today
- Provision for today

Iyar calls you away from excess and into sufficiency.

A Call to Healing and Order

Let this month be marked by intentional alignment:
- Cleanse what has been carried too long
- Restore what has been neglected
- Establish order in body, home, and spirit
- Commit to disciplined patterns, prayer, fasting, movement, and study

What was revealed in Nisan must now be lived out in Iyar.

A Prayer for Iyar

O Most High,
Healer of all flesh and Restorer of the soul,

In this appointed time, teach us Your ways.
Strip from us all that resists Your order.
Heal what is hidden, and correct what is misaligned.

Let us not seek only mighty moments,
But faithful obedience in the quiet places.

Give us this day our daily bread,
And the humility to depend on You for it.

Refine our hearts as we count each day before You.
Prepare us to receive Your truth in fullness.

We walk with You in the wilderness,
Trusting that every step is ordered,
And every provision is intentional.

In reverence and truth,
Amen.

Beloved, do not despise this month because it feels slow or hidden.

For it is here,
in the quiet discipline of daily obedience,
that true transformation takes root.

Walk it faithfully.

Shalom.

Church of God's Children
Shepherd, Apostle Ina Draper

04/16/2026

Beloved,

At the request of many who follow and walk alongside me, I am taking a moment to address a matter that has been circulating widely. I do so not out of urgency, but out of a responsibility to uphold truth with clarity, discernment, and peace.

Recently, there has been discussion surrounding an image posted by Donald J. Trump. In that image, he presented himself in the likeness of a healer, a doctor, making reference to the Red Cross as a symbol of healing and aid to nations. His expressed intent was to communicate support for healing efforts and a desire to see restoration in the world, as he continues efforts toward resolving long-standing conflicts.

There have been claims suggesting that this image was an attempt to depict himself as Christ. After careful consideration, I find this claim to be unfounded. The image does not align with any scriptural description of Christ, nor does it reflect any true biblical representation. Nowhere in Scripture is Christ described in the commonly assumed imagery often portrayed in media and tradition. The image itself portrayed a white robe with a red shawl, and depicted him among others, appearing to lay hands on and assist in the healing of a sick man in a bed, with additional figures in the background, including military presence. Which most would assume as the power of prayer.

For this reason, I did not initially consider the matter worthy of response. It was evident to be another example of baseless claims, media-inflated narratives where speculation is elevated into perceived truth without foundation. However, because many have asked for clarity, I am addressing it now.

It is also worth noting that when some began to misinterpret the image and attach claims that it represented Christ, the post was removed. This reflects an awareness and a level of respect toward the concern, not an affirmation of the accusation. Donald J. Trump has also stated openly that he was not attempting to represent himself as Christ, demonstrating a level of respect and reverence regarding the concern.

At the same time, I have observed others respond with hate, including violent imagery and speech directed toward Donald J. Trump. This is equally concerning. We must be mindful that responding to what we believe is wrong with hatred or violence does not produce righteousness.

Let us be clear: Donald J. Trump is not a perfect man. No man is. Scripture reminds us that all have fallen short. Yet God the Father loves Donald J. Trump just as He loves every imperfect person. The question is not whether any man is flawless, but whether we are judging with truth, or reacting through assumption and influence.

Donald J. Trump has not claimed to be Christ. In fact, he has rejected such notions. His statements have been centered on helping, restoring, and bringing healing where he is able. While opinions may differ on his actions or leadership, we must be careful not to assign claims or intentions that are not true.

There are also deeper matters, things that hold greater weight and require discernment, that I do not openly speak on in full. Not because they lack truth, but because of the reality of media censorship. There are limits placed on what can be said publicly without consequence.

When I shared truth regarding the events of October 7, I experienced this firsthand. Not only was the message censored, but many of my accounts were removed. Years, two decades of work were erased across multiple platforms. Every truth vanished from ever corner of the internet at someones commanded. This is not something I speak of lightly, but it is part of the reality we are navigating.

Because of this, understand that not every truth is able to be freely spoken in every space. Those who truly seek understanding often find it not in mainstream channels, but in quieter places, in conversation, in community, and in person, where voices are not as easily filtered or removed.

Even platforms that claim to allow free expression may have limits beyond what we can see. Discernment is required everywhere.

I am not asking anyone to accept everything I say without question. I am asking that we seek truth earnestly, test what we hear, and remain aware that not all narratives presented to us are complete.

I am not asking anyone to like or agree with Donald J. Trump. There have been times I myself have not agreed with him. But I am urging us to reverence truth above rumor, above speculation, and above emotionally charged narratives.

We must ask ourselves honestly: do we consider ourselves perfect? If not, then we should approach others with the same measure of grace we hope to receive.

Let our words be measured. Let our judgments be rooted in truth. Let our hearts remain free from hatred. And let us seek understanding before speaking, so that we do not unknowingly participate in falsehood.

With sincerity and care,
Church of God's Children
Shepherd, Apostle Ina Draper

Beloved,

Grace and peace be unto you from YHWH our Father.

I write to you with a teaching that is simple in words, yet deep in truth, the call to Biblical stewardship.

From the beginning, God has not required us to start with abundance, but with awareness. When He called Moses, He did not place something new into his hand. Instead, He asked a question:
“What is that in thine hand?” (Exodus 4:2)

Moses answered, “A rod.”
What seemed ordinary became powerful when surrendered to God.

In the same way, you must understand this truth: you are already holding something God intends to use.

You are not empty. You are entrusted.

Take a moment and consider:
What has God already placed in your hands?

It may be your time, your home, your body, your resources, or even the quiet strength within you to endure. It may be your ability to teach, to build, to grow, to serve, or to encourage. It may be knowledge gained through study, or wisdom formed through trial.

These are not случайные things, they are assignments.

Scripture teaches us:
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.” (Luke 16:10)

Many wait for increase, yet neglect what is already present. But the Kingdom of God does not operate on waiting, it operates on faithfulness.

You are already a steward.

You are a steward over your thoughts, what you allow to remain.
You are a steward over your words, what you speak into the earth.
You are a steward over your actions, what you choose daily.
You are a steward over others, how you love, lead, and serve.

Nothing in your life is without accountability.

The Lord sees how you handle what others may overlook. He watches how you treat what seems small, hidden, or insignificant. For it is written:
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things…” (Matthew 25:21)

Therefore, do not despise what is small. Do not ignore what is already in your care.

Instead, ask the Father:
“What have You given me that I have not yet recognized?”
“What have I been holding that I have not been stewarding?”

Bring these things before Him.

Lay them down in humility, and take them up again with purpose.

For what is surrendered becomes sanctified, and what is sanctified becomes multiplied.

Beloved, this is the hour to awaken to stewardship, not tomorrow, not when more comes, but now.

Be faithful in your hands today.

May the Spirit of YHWH give you wisdom, discipline, and revelation as you walk in this calling.

In the name of Yeshua,
Walk in truth, walk in order, and walk in faithfulness.

With humility and service,
Church of God's Children
Shepherd, Apostle Ina Draper

04/12/2026

OMER DAY 10, CLEAN YOUR MOUTH

Ephesians 4:29
“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth…”

Your words reveal your heart.

Speak only what builds up today.

“Purify my speech.”
