Building His house


We're in the year 5772, known as "ayin bet" in hebrew. Every hebrew number is linked with an alphabet in the hebrew language. Every word paints a picture.

As we enter this new year with Yah, the word "ayin bet" suggests that "His eye is on the House". The letter "ayin" (on the right in the picture above because in hebrew you read from right to left) means "the eye". The eye is to see, observe, to watch like how Jesus said "Watch & pray". It is also a time where our seers anointing is awaken to see with God. There is an illegal or legal entry. The legal entry is through the Holy Spirit, the illegal entry is through divination or occultic methods such as meditation of "emptying your mind".

The letter "bet" means house like in Bet-hlehem meaning 'house of bread'. In this prophetic season, Jesus will return as the Master of the House (Luke 12, Mark 13). He will be coming to inspect on our spiritual "building". Making sure our foundations are laid properly (see Eph. 2:19-22). We are also to set our house in order like Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:1. Most importantly, we are to be 'planted in the House of the Lord' in order to "flourish, bear fruit, to grow". The days of "church hopping" are over - find yourself in a church where you grow in the Lord and flourish your giftings. Seek God for the Holy Spirit's leading like in Romans 8:14.

We are also to take care of God's house, not only spiritual but the physical as well. The physical building and ministries all need care and funds. In Haggai 1:4, the Lord rebuked Israel for neglecting the building of the Temple. Because of this neglect, Israel would sow but would only reap less than what they sowed. They were not making a profit in whatever they did. Yet in Haggai 2:8-9, He says to them that all "gold & silver" belongs to Him and should be found in His House! Our God, our Father is a very RICH FATHER! and we His children have access to His house. In Haggai 2:19, He expressly says that from the moment we choose to build God's house, He will BLESS US! God is so good! Because of Jesus' blood we are now His children and part of His family.

Praise the Lord!

"...from the day the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid... from this day I WILL BLESS YOU" Haggai 2:18,19 (emphasis added)

Feast of Trumpets

The Opening of the Gates!

Every year we celebrate the Feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23), we receive a Word from Him. We celebrate with knowledge and revelation. And this year at the turning of a new Hebrew Year 5772, we entered His gates with shouts of joy & thanksgiving (Psalm 100)!

Rosh Hashana, meaning "new year", also means "the opening of the gates". As God unfolds a new year and opens the books of heaven, He reveals that there are open gates for His children to possess and enter!

In Psalm 118: 20, we'll walk through the gates of righteousness! In Genesis 24:60, we'll POSSESS the gates of our enemies! In Isaiah 28:6, we'll turn back the battle at the gates (meaning to send them back to where they came from)!

Jesus declared in Matthew 16:18, He's building a church which the gates of hell cannot prevail against. And don't forget the 'ancient gates' in Psalm 24 will open for the King of Glory!

In this new year, we not only enter through the gates but also possess the areas of our lives back for Jesus! Shana T'ova and have a blessed year ahead!
