The Season of Basilisk

A few months ago, a woman of God shared with me a concept that I had never heard of before. She shared with me what is described as "The Season of Basilisk." What this season entails is a season where God actually allows demonic and satanic activity at a heightened level in the earth. 

The reason I describe it this way is because nothing happens in the earth realm without the Divine permission of God (Psalm 24). The Season of Basilisk is a 3-week period corresponding with the Hebrew calendar. The dates of The Season of Basilisk, according to the Hebrew calendar, are the 17th of Tammuz through the 9th of Av. 

The reason I am sharing this today is because the dates of The Season of Basilisk on the Gregorian calendar for 2015 are July 4th through July 25th. Which of course is tomorrow. Why is this significant? Because saints, during this season, Satanic activity is heightened in the earth and in our individual lives. There are tragedies and disasters, particularly within the Jewish Community, that transpire particularly during this season. This is not a time to be spiritually asleep. This is not a time to be just "going through the motions." This is a time to be spiritually alert! For the Devil is seeking whom he may devour (John 10). So let us be extremely watchful during this 3-week period.

So what should we do in light of this understanding? 

1. First off, watch and pray (Matthew 26). I personally believe that we're going to see the Hand of God move during this season in judgment. If that is the case, the saints of God need to be very prayerful; as we know Divine Judgment is set to hit America. 

2. The next thing we need to do is be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5). As I stated earlier, this is not the time to be laid back. If you need to go on a fast, fast. If you need to be more committed to your Devotion time, do it. This is a season where Satanic temptation will be heightened and you truly need to be on guard. Be deliberate, be intentional, make sure your steps are "ordered by the Lord" (Psalm 37). 

I took the time to go back and look at my life over the last few years in reference to the corresponding dates of this season (which is always in the Summer). What I found is that during the Season of Basilisk, there was always some kind of heightened temptation or trap that the Devil was setting to get me off track in terms of where God was taking me. Needless to say, God's Grace is sufficient, so He kept me; but I could see how even certain seeds were planted that adversely affected the course God had me on.

I would encourage you to go back and review some of the things that God has allowed to transpire in your life during this Season. I believe you will be surprised as well as enlightened in regards to how Satan has tried to move in on your Divine territory. 

But be not dismayed. God is still In Control! And I still believe that He allows this season to execute His Divine Judgment. So, don't be scared and don't be afraid. Be watchful and prayerful so that you can make it through successfully in this Season of Basilisk.
