The of an “evil day” is by Ap. Paul in Ephesians 6:13, which is why he calls us to “put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (v.11).
Why is August an evil day? From ancient times mid-August used to be the time of celebration of Mother Earth, the Great Mother, the Womb of the Earth, or, whichever version glorified harvest, birth, the womb and motherhood in different cultures. When Rome Christianized Europe, the ancient pagan celebrations became Christianized, and the Great Mother, or Mother Earth, became “Mary the mother of Jesus”.
This is the new manifestation and form of “Asherah” who was worshipped even by Israel in the sacred forests/groves, “under every good tree”, and through “Asherah poles”.
The demonic force and cunning methods of the principality known as “Asherah” in the Bible cannot be taken lightly. It is good to remember that Gideon, even though God sent him to defeat the Midianites, would not be able to overcome their force if he did not clear first his father’s house from the altar of Baal and the “Asherah” pole (Judges 6:25-26).
Elijah also had to defeat both Baal and Asherah on Mount Carmel before the rain could come to Israel.
1 Kings 18:18 And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house [have,] in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and have followed the Baals. 19 “Now therefore, send [and] gather all Israel to me on Mount Carmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
Some translations have rendered the “prophets of Asherah” as “prophets of the sacred groves”.
August is a time of celebration of “Asherah” (same as December). This is a time that Satanists and the occult people worship in forests, under big, beautiful trees, with rituals that involve orgies and gang-rape to glorify their Master. The demonic forces that are empowered and sent, explain why there is an increase in sexual temptations in August, often manifesting as an overwhelming lust of the flesh, including forms of perversion.
These forces of Darkness are authorized by the worship they receive by the priests of Darkness. Interestingly, they receive worship not only by Satanists and the occult, but also by the institutional “Church” that worships the idol of Mary, as supposedly the mother of Jesus.
Obviously, this “Mary” is not the true, historical person of Mary, the wife of Joseph, who conceived Jesus by the Holy Spirit. She was a blessed woman who served God the way He used her to give birth to Jesus and eventually died; she is not a co-Redemptrix, she is not the Queen of Heaven, she is not a Mediator between man and God; Jesus is the only Mediator.
What makes the celebration of August 15 the most detestable is the man-made doctrine that Mary’s body, the historical person who was the mother of Jesus, ascended to heaven when she died. There is no scriptural foundation for such a demonic doctrine, which is a direct assault on the ascension of Jesus on the 40th day after His resurrection from the dead. This doctrine is meant to elevate “Mary” as a substitute for Jesus.
The Christian worship of Mary by the “Church” is as evil as the worship that Israel offered to Baal and Asherah, as we read in the Bible. Jeremiah confronted Israel for worshipping the Queen of Heaven (in 7:18 and 44:17-25); I believe the Queen of Heaven and Asherah is (more or less) the same principality. The term “Queen of Heaven” is also attributed to “Mary”, in an effort to elevate it to the same position as the King Jesus.
Our priestly intercessions aim at removing the legal right of the enemy; our aggressive, warlike prayers aim at destroying the works of Darkness and advancing the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Ap. Paul who spoke of the evil day, eventually gave a call for a specific prayer target which causes the Gospel to advance.
Ephesians 6:18 pray at all times (the evil day is such a time to pray) with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints– 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.
On August 22 is the full moon, which is the peak of the occult and Satanist celebrations. That should be the peak of our intercessions and prayers, of our worship and praise, to spread Light in the Darkness of this world.
