From the desk of one of His faithful servants Chief Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr., as we embark upon the new year of 2024/5784 the Lord spoke to me that it will be a year of Open Doors for Revelation, Re-Alignment and Renewal for Prophetic Fulfillment according to:
Revelation 3:8 NKJV…“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
The Jewish Year 5784 began on Rosh Hashanah September 15th 2023 using the Hebrew Alphabet and Gematria system.
5 = Grace: (1000 years - Millennium)
7 = Completion, perfection: (100 years - Century)
8 = New beginnings: (10 years - Decade)
4 = Door, prophetic fulfillment: (1 year - Year)
Of all the prophetic numbers aligned with 5784, I feel led to focus primarily on the number 4. This Hebrew year, represented by 5784, holds tremendous significance for the number 4 and its corresponding letter Dalet. I believe this year will be a season of radical transformation, renewal and realignment, if we obey the Lord’s voice. We must be aware though that there will be a spiritual battle for the effectual door of promise to be opened. While the number 4 is called Dalet in Hebrew and it represents a picture of a tent door, or open door, I believe that the Lord is speaking to us even deeper about these spiritual doors.
The spiritual meaning of door is the entry point to a new space. Doors represent the transition from one place to another. They are also symbolic of change, especially when they are closed or locked. When a door opens, it opens up possibilities to new experiences. Doors can also be considered as exit points as well as entrances. The person who opens the door decides whether it will be an entrance or exit point.
Doors are also used to keep out unwanted visitors, but they can also be used as an invitation for others to come inside and enter into your life, mind and heart. A door often represents the opening of new possibilities and challenges in the future.
2024/5784 is going to be a year of the voice of the Doorkeeper. Doors will begin to appear for many, with heavenly encounters and signs showing the way. Borders will open between new partnering nations/regions/houses. Beware of any vulnerability in defenses that may be exploited, so it is necessary to prepare your defenses before the new year. It’s Time to chart a new path for prophetic fulfillment.
In the Hebrew calendar, the number 8 symbolizes new beginnings, and the open door represents a gateway to God's blessings and breakthroughs. Just as the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry land, leaving behind their bondage and entering into freedom, this year will mark a significant transition for God's people.
Additionally, the number 80 in Hebrew is represented by the letter "pey" (), which signifies a time of completion and fulfillment. Again, the number 4 in Hebrew is represented by the letter "dalet" (), which symbolizes a doorway or a path. It signifies stability, foundation, and the four corners of the earth. Therefore, as we step through the door of this new beginning, the number 4 reminds us to establish a solid foundation in our faith and embrace the divine path that lies ahead.
The open door signifies not only physical doors of opportunity but also spiritual portals unveiling fresh encounters with GOD. As we align our hearts with God's purposes, we will witness the fulfillment of His promises and experience a greater outpouring of His Spirit. It is a time to seek His face, listen intently to His voice, and step boldly through the doors that He opens before us.
Therefore we must stay in tune with what GOD is saying to His Church, and we know that Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing by the Word of GOD through His Prophets & Preachers.
So Now Under a strong Anointing of the Holy Spirit I RELEASE TO YOU THE THEME AND SCRIPTURE FOR KBCMI FOR 5784/2024:
5784 The Year of the Open Door for Revelation, Realignment and Renewal for Prophetic Fulfillment!
Revelation 3:8 NKJV…“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
It’s time for the Remnant of GOD to put their complete trust in the WORD of GOD and receive everything that GOD has in store for us in the year of 5784/2024.
May the Lord continue to Bless you & keep you in Jesus Name.
Blessings,
Chief Apostle, L.R. Gooden Jr.

Today, many Jews still celebrate the feast of Purim. The name Purim is derived from “the lot” which a Gentile, Haman, cast concerning the fate of the Jews when they were in Persia under King Ahasuerus.
Haman, the villain in this story in the book of Esther, hated the Jews and sought to exterminate them. He got King Ahasuerus to allow him to issue a decree to annihilate all the Jews in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar. But God used Queen Esther and her uncle Mordecai, both Jews, to turn the tables on Haman and save the Jews.
Haman was hanged on the very gallows that he had constructed for Mordecai! Then, the king allowed Queen Esther and Mordecai to issue a counter-decree to allow all the Jews to defend themselves and destroy their enemies in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar!
So instead of the Jews being exterminated on that fateful day, their enemies were destroyed! God turned an evil day for the Jews into good days. He turned their mourning into rejoicing and gave them victory over their enemies.
Listen, God can do the same for you today. He only wants you to remain in your position of rest in Christ. You see, because of Jesus’ finished the work at the cross, you and I are seated in heavenly places in Christ, far above every principality, and evil assault the devil can throw at us. (Ephesians 2:6) Just as Mordecai sat within the king’s gate, and refused to stand up and bow to Haman, let’s not “bow” to the devil by being persuaded to move from our position of rest in Christ. Don’t allow him to get you worried, frantic remember he's homeless, he has no place, GIVE NO PLACE to the devil.
Queen Esther was also in a position of rest before Haman was executed. (Esther 7) She was seated on the Kings couch as Haman pleaded with her for his life. While doing so, he accidentally fell over the couch where the queen was. The king, thinking that Haman was assaulting his queen, sent him to the gallows!
So remain at rest in Christ’s finished work, and He will turn your evil day into days of rejoicing and feasting!
In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Isaiah 27:1
In the book of Job, the whole context is an ongoing debate between Job and his friends. Finally, God announces that He has had enough and demands an answer.
Where was thou when I laid the foundations of this earth? Declare if thou hast understanding. Job 38:4
God goes on to give Job an entire discourse about leviathan. "And now, Job, who are you, who dares not arouse the unmastered leviathan, yet who dare resist Me, the beast's Creator; to My face? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore who can have a claim against Me?"; Leviathan is the climatic revelation of the book of Job. The fact that the Bible denotes an entire chapter, Job 41, describing leviathan to him indicates his importance.
God uses the sea-monster, Leviathan, to reveal to Job that Job's problem is pride. There is a strong evil spirit named Leviathan. Leviathan is an evil demonic spirit of pride.
God reveals the monster. Some call him a crocodile or something else, but the Word calls him a dragon, sea-monster, or sea-serpent.
In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Isaiah 27:1
Strong's Concordance gives this definition:
Leviathan- livyathan, (3882), a wreathed animal or serpent, a large sea-monster. The constellation of the dragon, Draco; also as a symbol of Babylon: mourning.
Dragon / Dragons- tanniyn (8577), a marine or land monster, sea-serpent or jackel; sea-monster, serpent, whale.
The context suggest some form of aquatic monster which dwells in the sea. In the scripture, the sea represents nations of people. There is a dragon in the sea (people or nations), and God is going to slay that dragon.
The nations of this world are consumed by this dragon or sea-monster. This sea-monster is pride. This evil, demonic spirit of pride manipulates and controls the masses of this world.
He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride. (Of all the beasts, he is the proudest, he reigns supreme over all the pride of the earth.) Job 41:34
Another way of stating this is, 'he looks down on all who are haughty; he is a king or ruler over all those who are proud'. Pride and leviathan are practically synonymous. It is hard to separate them.
The spirit of Leviathan's most crucial work is in the area of keeping people from receiving the things of God and of the Holy Spirit and from moving into the very presence of Almighty God. Leviathan's primary purpose and goal is to stop all true moves of the Holy Spirit, and all spiritual growth in the lives of the Believers. He wants to stop the flow of the Anointing.
The modern church today is largely asleep because of the spirit Leviathan's work. He loves to eclipse things. Mythology associates him with the eclipse of the sun. He wants to eclipse the S-O-N, Christ Jesus, in your life. Leviathan wants to eclipse the True and Holy things of Almighty God in your life.
Leviathan resides in the Holy Place, and is a counterfeiter.
We are three part beings; we are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body. Our soul is a type of the Holy Place where Leviathan works. He is at work in our soul; in our mind, emotions, and will.
The spirit of Leviathan attempts to keep us from entering the Holy of Holies, into the very presence of God. No man could go there except Moses and the High Priest; and then only once a year. This is the third veil, and Leviathan does not want us there. This third veil was rent when Jesus died on the cross. This was the veil between the Spirit-filled realm and the very presence of God. Here Leviathan stands to block entrance.
The spirit of Leviathan attempts to snuff out the lamps (knowledge and understanding); cut off the bread (the manna); and he tries to keep us from offering up daily incense (prayer in the Spirit). He does not want us to move in the Holy Spirit; to have words of knowledge, speak in tongues, or any other spiritual gift. He will choke us off with spiritual deafness and blindness, causing us to be tongue-tied. Leviathan will imitate the Holy Spirit and cause false gifts, healings, and even miracles to manifest in the believers.
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron (His nostrils belch forth smoke, thick as the fumes of a seething pot.). Job 41:20
The smoke from Leviathan nostrils is false prayer and false worship at the altar of incense, and he is commissioned to counterfeit the genuine pentecostal experience. Because the person is so bound up with pride, he cannot really praise God. He is too important, too bound up in himself, to give any real praise and worship to God.
His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal (His arrogance and haughtiness stems from the tight sealed scales covering his body.). Job 42:15
Leviathan's scales are so close one to another that no air can come between them. The scales are joined one to another and cannot be pulled apart. In scripture; air, breath, and wind are synonymous with the Holy Spirit.
The reason many people get so shut in is because of the effects of Leviathan's tight coils around them, inhibiting the moving of the Holy Spirit. They cannot hear or discern the Holy Spirit, and they say they never get a word from the Lord or move in the gifts. The reason is that no air of the Holy Spirit is able to get in because this demon has such a strangle hold.
The spirit Leviathan wants us to have the counterfeit; and if we get that and are satisfied with it, he has us. Leviathan in the pastor, teacher, evangelist, etc. charms or hypnotizes the people, and they are deceived and seduced into believing they are operating through the Holy Spirit. Today, many are experiencing counterfeit gifts. Many are requiring deliverance from false, error filled ministries. Increasingly, deliverance ministries are having to cast out spirits of false tongues.
One of Leviathan's chief jobs is to mock, come against, and block deliverance and/or deliverance ministries. Most people who fight the deliverance ministry have powerful leviathan demons; and are, therefore, raely delivered. Many of the ministers who refuse to open up to the ministry of deliverance are being controlled by a leviathan spirit.
The reason pastors, teachers, evangelist, etc. accept leviathan's lies is because they refuse to believe that they may have demons and are in need of deliverance. It's not a 'shame' to have demons, the shame is not acknowledging, repenting, and getting rid of it through deliverance. Instead, they teach the people 'Christians cannot have demons'.
The 'true' deliverance of God is casting out demons according to Mark 16:17- 18: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:17-18
The Bible says that if we do not love the truth, God will cause us to believe a lie. The only way to get rid of the demonic influence of Leviathan is to 'cast him out in the Name of Jesus'.
I pray that this teaching will enlighten us to not be ignorant of satans devices but to grasp the truth and function in the truth. Amen.
Just like the root determines the fruit, your heart determines your spiritual advancement, and your blessings in life. That is the root of all spiritual encounters because God sees our heart before He hears our voice. He responds to the state of our heart much more than He responds to our utterances and our acts.
In Acts 8:21, the apostles encountered a man who offered them money to buy the power of the Holy Ghost and Peter said to him, “Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ” Which means, if your heart is right your part is guaranteed! The state of your heart determines the measure of your part. It is not the volume of your prayer that determines the volume of your blessing but the state of your heart. Men may commend your utterances but God answers your heart.
Nothing happens on this earth without a root in our heart. Every happening around us is a function of what is happening within us. We can never encounter a change on this earth until there is a move from our heart. It is the move of our heart that determines the changes on our earth. There is nothing a man cannot accomplish when his heart is in the right place with GOD.
In Jeremiah 29:11 God said, “…I know the thoughts that I think toward you…thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” But in verse 13 He said, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart…” What moves God to perform His great thoughts towards us is measured by the state of our heart. So, ensure that your heart is connected, ensure that your heart is fervent, pure and right before God. When God finds a man or woman with a right heart, He has found the right man or woman to be anointed, empowered and blessed!
The word “FAVOUR” simply means: “friendly or kind regard; goodness; approval; loving-kindness.”
The FAVOUR of God simply means that, God will:
Regard you as his FRIEND – “No longer do I call you servant but my friend.” (Jn 15: 15)
Be KIND to you – “For he is Kind even to the unthankful.” (Lk 6:35)
Shine his GOODNESS on you – “Do you know that the Goodness of God leads you to repentance.” (Rom 2 : 4)
APPROVE you – “Salute Appelus approved in Christ.” (Rom 16:10)
Show LOVING-KINDNESS towards you – “I will show my loving kindness toward you says God.” (Jer 9:24)
OPEN FAVOR of God will give us:
UNEQUAL ADVANTAGE – This UNEQUAL ADVANTAGE will enable us to DEFEAT Satan, who is already a defeated foe, SUBJECT his demons under us, who have already been made subject to us through Christ and for us to KNOW the PLANS and PURPOSES of God, for which Satan will never know. (Rom 3: 1 )
POWER OF ATTORNEY – God will give us to REPRESENT HIM, so that we can ACT on his behalf, SPEAK HIS WORD for him and OPERATE in the same POWER and ANOINTING as He did. Satan cannot override us, because we now become the REPRESENTATIVES of Jesus Christ here on earth. (Acts 9:15)
TO GO AHEAD OF HIM – Jesus will SEND us forth ahead of him to PREPARE the way as John the Baptist did. We will go to every place that God wants his PRESENCE to be made manifest. Jesus will send us to places to ESTABLISH APOSTOLIC BASES, in our homes and churches, that will allow his PRESENCE to be seen and felt. (Lk 10:1)
Exodus 16: 4-6 - God provided manna to the Israelites through supernatural means
1 kings 17:1-7- God fed Elijah during the famine through the Raven
2 kings 4: 1-7- God helped the widow to clear her debts through supernatural means
Luke 5: 1-9 – Jesus helped Peter to catch fish through supernatural means
Matthew 17:24-27-Jesus provided money for paying tax through supernatural means
KEYS TO SUPERNATURAL PROVISION
God has established keys which can connect a believer to supernatural provision.
We must create Room for the word of God. God spoke to Abraham and he obeyed God’s word. We cannot just build our lives on personal opinion and preferences.
We must Pass the God sent Tests. God tested Abraham and he never failed the test. Some of the things we go through are nothing but God sent tests.
We must operate with Extra Ordinary obedience and faith. What God asked Abraham to do demanded extra ordinary faith and obedience.
We should become people of Prophetic confession. Notice what Abraham confessed: V5 -We will come back to you; V8 -God will provide the lamb for sacrifice. Notice that Abraham got what he confessed. What you confess becomes your portion.
We should have room for Sacrificial giving. It's sacrificial giving which opens the door of supernatural provision.
WHAT IS SACRIFICIAL GIVING?
It is giving which leaves us with pain
It is giving which leaves you with nothing
It is giving your very best.
In conclusion I want to emphasize the point that every child of God should have two doors in their lives through which blessings enter their environment.
What fails to enter through the natural door must enter through the supernatural door.
Breakthrough! It speaks of overcoming an obstacle that is in our way—or of prevailing over a need, a restriction or an opposing enemy. Breakthrough can also mean an achievement or discovery that leads to significant progress.
When we need a breakthrough in our lives or ministry, we turn to prayer. But what kind of prayer will it take?
6 Biblical Keys to Breakthrough Prayer
1. Seek God’s Agenda First
‘This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.’ (1 John 5:14-15)
Daniel was a godly man who read the scriptures—including the prophecies of Jeremiah. He recognised that Jeremiah prophesied about the times that Daniel was now living in and began to seek God for the answers. He knew it was time to birth that prophecy in prayer.
We need to know that we are praying God’s purpose for our lives. This means firstly praying according to God’s revealed will in the Scripture. Upon that foundation, we can also seek an intimate relationship with Father God in which we can hear His purpose for our lives and situation—and pray out of that. [2]
2. Don’t Settle for Second Best
Hannah was childless, and it grieved her. Wanting to reassure her, Hannah’s husband offered his love and personal gifts, thinking these could please her. But Hannah would only be satisfied with one thing—a baby. As a result of Hannah’s prayer, a future prophet and priest was born. Samuel would bring the nation back to God. (1 Sam 1)
When God has placed something on our hearts, then like Hannah we will be tempted to settle for the ‘status quo’ or second best. But that is the very time to passionately press in to God for the answer.
3. Pray from the Heart
Hannah cried a wordless prayer of deep groaning—and God answered it. (1 Sam 1:12-16, Rom 8:26-27)) Nehemiah shot up a prayer whilst he was going about his daily occupation. (Neh 2:1-5) These seemingly simple prayers, carried from the heart, changed nations.
There are no right and wrong ways to pray. Just real prayers.
It’s time to put aside formulas, and not to be intimidated by someone else’s style and eloquence. The prayers that God answers are real prayers from the heart, regardless of time, place or technique.
4. Pray with Praise and Thanksgiving
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Phil 4:6)
Paul and Silas were in a difficult situation. God called them to evangelise a city, but they were stuck in a dungeon, held in stocks. As they prayed in the night and offered up hymns of praise, God sent an earthquake to open the prison doors. (Acts 16:22-29)
When used in addition to prayer, praise is a powerful cutting-edge weapon for breakthrough. (Ps 149:6-9)
5. Don’t Give Up
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. (Luke 18:1)
Daniel prayed and fasted for 21 days before an answer came. An angel appeared who had been battling in the heavenlies for the entire time Daniel had been in prayer. Daniel’s persistent prayers provided fuel for what God was doing on his behalf. (Dan 10)
Prayer is not a single event, but a process. Whilst continuing in prayer, we are partnering with God as Heaven’s resources, including angels, are being released that are working towards God’s answer.
Don’t give up too soon!
6. Find Others who will Agree with You
Jesus said, “…if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matt 18:19-20)
Esther is known as a woman whose courage saved a nation. However, prior to approaching the King, Esther called on Mordecai, all the Jews of the city, and her own attendants, to fast before God for 3 days. Esther knew that the real power lay in God answering the prayer of those who had joined her in the fast. (Esther 4:16)
When in need of a breakthrough, find others who will join you in prayer, because there is multiplied power in agreement.
Jezebel has not changed, except she is meaner than ever when she starts to loose control. People who must be in control are unknowingly being controlled themselves, by a powerful evil spirit, named after one of the most wicked women that ever walked planet earth, Jezebel, 1 Kings 18:4.
For years, Queen Jezebel has defied and mocked our Father’s kingdom, using everything in her power to control or destroy His people. He finally had to kill her and humiliate her by having the dogs eat her flesh and lick up her blood. Gross, you say, not when you understand how GOD feels about anyone who assumes His position of authority to bring people into bondage, while He is trying to set them free, 2 Kings 9:30-37.
Insecure men and women are her easiest prey, because control gives them a sense of worth and importance. Taken to the full extent, they become tyrants who think nothing of murdering millions to cleanse the earth of anyone that threatens them. This control demon enters many insecure believers seeking popularity and significance by becoming church leaders.
Bible schools and seminaries often help prepare the road for demons to control them by teaching how to control a congregation like a corporation. Newly trained leaders being anxious to be a success in ministry, are ignorant of the fact the sheep belong to JESUS. JESUS said I seek to save them and then woo them and call them to let Me take charge of their daily steps. I desire a moment by moment working relationship with every believer, never to control them as puppets.
Our Father has once again given the orders for His angelic hosts to throw down all Jezebel’s and set His people free. You are about to witness churches and 501c3 organizations everywhere, fall apart and crash to the ground. Within hours, He will send in the media, and government dogs will eat up what’s left.
He has cried, LET MY PEOPLE GO, for the last time! Control freaks beware, wether you are behind a pulpit, on Facebook, a military leader or behind a desk, your time is up, GOD is setting his people free, as he shakes everything loose from our control! God's people will no longer fear jezebel's intimidation, and jezebel will no longer manipulate God's people to satisfy her ego! “Woe be to the pastors and leaders that feed themselves! should not you have fed the flocks?”Ezekiel 34:2.
In the last days many churches will hear the Father say: “I have a few things against you, because you tolerated that woman Jezebel, which called herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce, and control my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols….. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am He which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to they’re works.”Revelation 2:20,23.
Psalms 107:18-20....Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
WHY ARE YOU PAYING THE HOSPITAL WHEN JESUS ALREADY PAID THE BILL
AS I GO VISIT WEST FLORIDA, BAPTIST, SACRED HEART I CANT EVEN FIND A PARKING SPOT, EVERY BED IS FULL, AND MANY ARE WAITING IN THE LOBBY TO GET A OPEN BED.
I ASKED THE LORD WHY ALL OF THIS SICKNESS, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE THE BIBLE SAYS IN (1Cor. 6:19- 20). THAT our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit.
How can we glorify GOD with a sick body, with a broken body, we can't we need to ask ourselves why are we paying a bill that JESUS has already paid for us. SOMEBODY SAY THATS ROBBERY, THATS DOUBLE PAYING.
God wants our body as well as our soul and spirit to be redeemed. Why would He want the body to be sinful, sick, diseased, and not strong if He is to dwell in it?
That would defeat the purpose of Christ in bearing our sins, sicknesses, and infirmities, and shows why atonement includes the cleaning up of the body, soul, and spirit from all sin, disease, and corruption. God provided healing for Israel, and made covenants to heal them until there was not one feeble person in all their tribes.
LISTEN Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8), this alone should be proof of such provision and that He will heal today as He did in the days of His life on earth.
HERE'S 7 BILLS JESUS PAID FOR US
BILL#1-He was stricken ( Isa. 53: 4, 8).
BILL#2-He was smitten ( Isa. 53: 4).
BILL#3-He was afflicted
BILL#4-He carried the iniquity of us all ( Isa. 53: 6, 11).
BILL#5-He was bruised ( Isa. 53: 10).
BILL#6-He was put to grief and made sick. Isa.53:4
BILL#7-He was made an offering for sin and sickness ( Isa.53: 4- 5, 10).

Heavenly Father, I rejoice at your promise of divine health. You said it and I believe it! Today, I declare that I will see your promise of healing manifest in all who have prayed this prayer ..Amen
YOU GOT TO GO THROUGH YOUR MARAH TO GET TO YOUR ELIM
Exodus 15:22-25
"Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore it was named Marah. So the people grumbled at Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?" Then he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested (proved) them.
Numbers 33:8-9
"They journeyed from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness; and they went three days' journey in the wilderness together and camped at Marah. They journeyed from Marah and came to Elim; and in Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there."
Marah
Marah (H4781) means "bitter." Chemicals made the water unfit for drinking. Arabs seldom even permit their camels to drink from it. The experience at Marah was just another in the training of God's people.
ELIM
Elim the name of the second station where the Israelites encamped after crossing the Red Sea. It had "twelve wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees."
SEE WHEN THE FIRST TIME DONT WORK TRY IT AGAIN, THE DEVIL HAS A PATTERN OF SENDING YOU THE FAKE ONE BEFORE GOD SENDS THE REAL ONE.
THE ISRAELITES DIDNT SETTLE FOR MARAH, BECAUSE THEY REMEMBERED THE PROMISE GOD GAVE TO MOSES TO GIVE TO THEM, MARAH WAS A TEST, ELIM WAS THE REWARD FOR GOING THROUGH THE TEST.
TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR ITS ONLY A TEST. ELIM IS JUST UP THE STREET.
ELIM HAD 12 SPRINGS OF CLEAR WATER AND 70 PALM TREES, DONT SETTLE FOR YOUR LITTLE WHEN GOD HAS A WHOLE LOT.
WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH OUR MARAH WITHOUT MUMBLING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ROUTE WE ARE HAVING TO GO DOWN, YOU CANT START ON THE AUTOBAHN, TOO FAST, YOU HAVE TO WORK YOUR WAY UP, FROM THE BACK ROADS, THE POT HOLES, AND EVEN THE NO ROADS BEFORE YOU GET ON THE AUTOBAHN. COME ON SOMEBODY.
IN THE BOOK OF ACTS WE SEE FIVE OUTPOURINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
Acts 2:4 - 120 with the disciples in the Upper Room
Acts 8:17 - Converts to Phillip in Samaria
Acts 9:18 - Saul's conversion
Acts 10:44 - Peter preached to the Gentiles in Cornelius house
Acts 19:6 - Paul with the believers at Ephesus
It is an experience that is available to all Christians in all lands and in every generation. Acts 2:39, "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
This experience offers the believer spiritual power for victorious Christian living and effective service (ministry) in the Kingdom of God.
Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit has come upon you......"
The Baptism With the Spirit is Called in the Book of Acts:
The verb #1: "Bapto" - Being baptized in the Holy Spirit.
[Jesus said] "For John truly baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now" (Acts1:5).
"Bapto" in ancient times was used in an interesting number of ways. It essentially described something that was immersed.
The verb #2: "Eperchomai" - the Holy Spirit coming upon
[Jesus said] "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem..." (Acts 1:8).
The chief idea in "eperchomai" relates a coming upon a whole new set of circumstances - as in "these things that have come upon me." In other words, the Holy Spirit wants to reshape our perspective (on the world) our passion (for the lost) our pointedness (in focus on human need).
The verb #3: "Ekcheo" - the Holy Spirit poured out
In Acts 2:17, Peter quotes from Joel's prophecy about the coming of the Holy Spirit: "And it shall come to pass in the last days says God I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh."
The verb #4: "Pieroo" - they were filled "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit...."
(Acts 2:4). In the Greek language this verb was not used unless there was actually an overflow. In other words, "pieroo" means there was more than enough.
The verb #5: "Epipipto" falling upon -
See Acts 10-44-46. The Holy Spirit wants to "fall upon" us to catch us up in the fullness of God's love.
The verb #6: "Lambana" - to receive
"Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit" (Acts 8:17)."Lambano" conveys both the ideas of giving and/or receiving.
