Welcome to the 163rd day of the year! Day 163 is the second day of the 24th week. It is the second day of the third week in the fourth 49 days. It is also the sixteenth day in the fourth 49 days. It is June 12 in a Clear Year; and June 11 in a Leap Year. The sixteenth day is a second-season day. The Bible patterns for understanding the 163rd day are the second day of creation narrative, the 16th book and chapters of the Bible, and the second 8 chapters of Jeremiah, the 24th book of the Bible.
Day 163 is a second day of creation season in the 24th week. On the second day of creation, God made the firmament to tear up and divide the block of waters that filled up what became space. It’s a day of breaking through barriers and making a way where there is no way – through prayer, wisdom, faith, and prophetic decrees. It is a day to break down barriers to space and establish helpful connections. Day 163 a day of help from above.
Day 163 is a 16th book and chapters of the Bible day in the fourth 49 days. It is a Book of Nehemiah day. God gives help in the sixteenth season. In the sixteenth book of the Bible, God gave connection help to Nehemiah as he desired to rebuild the ruined wall of Jerusalem. God gave manna to Israel in Exodus 16, gave open doors to David in First Samuel 16, and helped Paul and Silas in Acts 16. The sixteenth book and chapters of the Bible also reveal that the 16th season is a season of divine reaction against rebellion.
Day 163 is a Jeremiah 9-16 season in the 24th week. The second 8 chapters of the 24th book of the Bible are applicable to the second day of the 24th week. In this section of the book, Jeremiah is disturbed by the backsliding of God’s people. He wished he could cry out his eyes for Judah; or even run away and separate from the people. Often, circumstances in the second season drive people to tears.
Day 163 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 24th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the kings of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronize Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdoms went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season by the power and wisdom of God no matter what happens.
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy against evil controlling powers and overthrow them by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him.! Happy 163rd day!
