Iyar is the second of the twelve months of the Jewish calendar. In the Bible. the month of Iyar is often called the month of Ziv, meaning "radiance." This month is commonly referred to as the month of (natural) healing. It's name is an acronym for "I Am God your Healer." (Exodus 15:26)
This month is linked with light, which signifies increased revelation. Light is the opposite of darkness. If darkness tries to overtake you this month say, "No. I am increasing in revelation." Isaiah 60 says that the glory can be seen on you and radiates off of you. This is the month you need to light up with His glory.
To understand Iyar, we can look at what happened to Israel coming out of Egypt. Nisan, the first month, was the month of leaving Egypt, and Sivan, the third month, was the month they arrived in Sinai and Torah was given. So Iyar is a month of transition, which pictures the journey from Egypt to Mount Sinai. That very important transition involved much more than a geographical change. God's people were transitioning to a new level in their relationship with Him.
