5785 THE YEAR OF DOUBLE GRACE & OPEN WINDOWS FOR DIVINE EXPANSION AND PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT!
Greeting, As we have stepped into a new Hebrew Year of 5785 as well as 2025 on the Georgian calendar, we are stepping into a window of time and opportunity. What does an opportunity mean? An opportunity is an appointed or favorable time to advance forward. In 5784, the Lord showed me that we were in a Revelation 3:8 NKJV season for the Year of the Open Door for Revelation, Realignment 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.
In some ways we are still in that season as we continue to progress from the door to the window. The Lord has been issuing this clarion call to His Church to come up higher. In this place of ascension, there is a new vantage point and, new levels of revelation. As we’ve come through the door and now look through the windows (opportunities). GOD desires to enlarge our vision and break every limitation so we can see clearer. The Lord longs to show us the things to come so we can be prepared and ready to receive them. The verse the Lord gave me for 5785 is Psalms 18:19 KJV… He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. The Theme He gave me for KBCMI is…5785 THE YEAR OF OPEN WINDOWS WITH DOUBLE GRACE FOR DIVINE EXPANSION AND PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT!
In this new Hebrew year 5785, the double fives in this year carry a special emphasis on multiplied grace or the empowerment of GOD. When you put the fives next to each other you get twenty-five, you get the Hebrew word Hen which means to behold. When you think of a window, it’s a prophetic representation of vision. I believe the Lord is increasing our vision, especially in His seers and prophets. As we behold the Lord, He will show us the things to come to declare bold. We must not forget that we are in the decade of the mouth. There is a greater grace and empowerment on the words we speak and declare. This is why since 2020, there often has been a “war of words” concerning many different situations on a personal, national, and international level. It’s important to be mindful and intentional of the words we speak. Not only will we see things to declare but, there will also be situations to behold that will shock us and grip us. There are things coming that we never thought possible. The word unprecedented will become normal to hear it so anchor yourself in the Lord for 5785.
Another insight concerning the five or the Hebrew letter Hei (hey), is that there is an appointed time and season for us to put our hands to the things of GOD, what He has spoken over is. This is not a time to sit back in fear, we must move boldly and confidently. The righteous are as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1). It’s time to partner with the word of the Lord, activate it and, see it manifest. This season is one of Double Grace - It Begins with grace and ends with grace.
Right now we’re in a season where the Lord is watching what we do with what we have been given. In Matthew 25, Jesus talks about the parable of the talents. In this parable, a man was leaving away on a trip for some time. He decided to gather his three servants and distribute his money to them while he was gone to tend to it. To one he gave five talents, another man he gave two, and the last servant he gave one talent. The servants with five and two talents went out and invested their talents and were able to multiply and double what they had. The servant who had one talent went and buried it in the ground out of fear.
When the man came back from his trip he accessed what the servants had done with the talents. He was happy to see the servants with five and two multiplied what they had been given. He blessed them and promoted them saying, His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord. Matthew 25:21 NKJV
When the servant with one talent told the man that he had buried for fear of losing it, the man was so furious that he gave his talent to another and banished him away. We’re in a time of promotion and demotion. The Lord is weighing his leaders and his people, to see what they have done with what they’ve been given. He’s measuring and judging our faithfulness and stewardship. We should always be increasing and multiplying because, it’s the nature of GOD. You can’t stay small when you’re connected to GOD Isaiah 60:22 NKJV…A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.
Lastly, I want to share some insight for Genesis 8. In Matthew 24:37-39 NKJV Jesus makes an interesting reference back to Noah’s time… 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
This is the way it will be when the Son of Man returns.” Jesus is saying here, what took place back in Noah’s day will take place as the day approaches of his coming. More and more we’re going to see a clear line and distinction between the righteous and unrighteousness. It will not be hard to tell the difference between the godly and ungodly.
One of the things that enabled Noah to be successful and caused him to get through the flood was, he was a righteous man and he was obedient to the voice of GOD. Can you imagine being the only one who was living right for GOD, when everyone around you was living like heathens. Noah continued to live right in the face of such unrighteousness and wickedness. Even though he looked crazy building a big boat and prophesied a rain was coming like never before, he never gave up on the assignment GOD had given him. He had unshakeable faith in GOD. We must be the same way in this time. May the voice of GOD be the loudest voice we hear and believe in this time.
In Genesis 8:1 NKJV it says, Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And GOD made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. “When you live righteously and stay obedient to GOD, He will never forget you. I want to encourage you today that GOD has not forgotten you or the promise spoken of for you but, that he has remembered you like he did Noah. As he remembered Noah GOD sent a wind to begin to shift and dry up the waters after a great time of testing. In Genesis 8:6 NKJV it says, So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. On day 41 it was the dawning of a new day.
In 5785, not only it is a window of opportunity but it’s also a new time and season for you. As Noah sent out the dove (Holy Spirit) a few times waiting for the go ahead, it eventually brought back a fresh olive leaf. As you enter into 5785, there’s new vision and fresh oil, for the new place GOD has brought you into. Just as he did for Noah, GOD is establishing new covenant and reminding you of His promises that has been established in the heavens. As Noah followed the instructions of the Lord, he stayed in obedience, and trusted where GOD would lead him and his family. This is what caused him to overcome and endure.
As the elections have passed in the United States the people have spoken and GOD has honored it. The election was simple and it came down to either voting for light or darkness. Light has prevailed… Glory to GOD so let us now be about our Father’s Kingdom business and take back everything the devil has previously stolen from us.
Blessings,
From the desk of Chief Apostle\Prophet L.R.Gooden Jr.

Ephesians 4:11-13…And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
“And He gave some” (v. 11, emphasis added). The Lord is the only one who has the power to call someone into the fivefold ministry office. He is the only one with the authority to hire leaders to build His Church, He does the background checks and the interviewing, hiring, and firing. GOD is even the one who conducts the performance evaluation to determine whether or not the person hired will receive a promotion based upon his or her work ethic and job performance.
GOD calls, not man. GOD makes the decision regarding your promotion, not man. GOD looks at your heart to determine your next assignment, not man. It is the Lord who pours the knowledge and wisdom into your spirit regarding your purpose, not man. Everything begins and ends with GOD. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” (Revelation 22:13).
“And He gave some.” (v. 11, emphasis added). GOD does not call everyone into the fivefold ministry office. This doesn’t mean that others are of less importance or have no responsibility within the body of Christ. All parts of the body are essential components that are needed to function as a healthy and whole body.
But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary. (1 Corinthians 12:20–22).
Let no one depise or think less of you because of your youth, but be an example (pattern) for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity!" 1 Timothy 4:12
A thermometer is an instrument for determining temperature. It simply reflects the environment. Individuals that are thermometers will say what everyone else says and do what everyone else does. However, GOD has called all of His children to be thermostats. A thermostat is an automatic device for regulating temperature.....it sets the atmosphere! As a blood bought believer, it is important that you don't just live in this world, but that you set the atmosphere by being an example. As 1Timothy 4:12 it says you must be an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. Jesus has called His children to set the "speech temperature", "conduct temperature", "love temperature", "faith temperature", and "purity temperature." Don’t be like the thermometer who only reflects what is going on in its surroundings, instead do as 1 Corinthians 11:1 says and be imitators of Christ, so that others can follow you as you follow Him! Remember, GOD called you the salt of the earth and the light of the world! Salt adds flavor and seasons…it is not bland! And light shines in dark places! You are salt, you are light, you are a city that sits on the hill! Set the atmosphere, be an example, and shine! Don’t worry about being seen by others, because you cannot and will not be hidden according to Matthew 5:14! Many will see the life you live for Christ and the example you set and will want to know and glorify the GOD that you serve. That's why it’s important that you always go with GOD! To go with the flow of this world is to live with limitations, but to go with the flow of GOD, is to open yourself to unlimited possibilities that you have never before imagined! When you follow and go with the world you will limit yourself because any and everything you do will be based on what the world has done or is doing. Forget about being extraordinary….or standing out…you will just reflect the temperature that the world sets. But when you follow and go with GOD…you will see the impossible become possible! You will allow GOD to lead you and with Him, you will set the temperature and be the example! Today, no matter what you face....decide to go with GOD! Follow Him instead of this world! Be an example and set the atmosphere! Don’t reflect the world because the world is constantly changing! The world can be up today and down tomorrow. Instead reflect on GOD....He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! And He does not and will not change!
What is in your mouth? Are you eating things that are just for temporary comfort/relief? Are you speaking things that have no spiritual value? Then Now is the time for you to open your mouth and speak words of faith, not unbelief or doubt! You have a purpose! And In order to walk into your destiny you must watch your tongue! Death and life are in the power of the tongue!! So Watch your mouth!!!
In Colossians 3:2 it says, "I set my affections on things above!" I opened my mouth and spoke over my gift and it manifested and grew right before my eyes. Check this out! Paul said No one else had to speak over my gift, no one else had to approve my gift…all it took was for me to open my mouth in agreement with the WORD and cry aloud, spare not and declare what thus saith the Lord!
Yes, you do have a purpose and yes your destiny will be manifested, but you must open your mouth by faith and speak word(s) over your life! “.......Call those things which be not as though they were!” (Romans 4:17) So go to the mirror.........look.........who do you see? IT IS YOU! Now speak, say….I decree that I will be a success! I am the head and not the tail, I'am above and not beneath!!! SPEAK UP!!! Your mouth is too powerful! Remember that Jesus always spoke in the present what He expected to see in the future. Now Today.....speak the Word only over your life! Speak what you expect and not what you fear! Speak!! It's not supposed to make sense.....it's supposed to make FAITH! What's in your MOUTH?
Psalm 24:7…Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in”.
YOU are the gate holding the key that will unlock your future and launch you into the next wave of God’s glory. You are the door that must be opened.
Lifting up your head is your responsibility. No one else can do it for you. Others can motivate, encourage, and inspire, but ultimately you must decide to position yourself for the lift.
Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me”.
GOD stands at the door of your heart knocking. GOD stands at the door of loneliness, unforgiveness, disappointment, frustration, anger, and heartache—knocking. GOD is waiting for you to open up and let Him in. Can you hear Him knocking? His knock may come in the form of an opportunity. His knock may come in the form of a promotion. His knock may come in the form of enlarged territory. His knock may come in the form of increased faith. Just listen for His knock.
You are the gate that must be unlocked and the door that must be opened. GOD is waiting for you to let Him in.
Isaiah 40:31...But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint”.
If we will be truly honest, waiting can be a difficult thing. When GOD has promised us increase, greater, miracles, healing, a spouse, etc., and that promise has not yet happened, we are tempted to question Him and His Word. However, during the wait we must realize that GOD is doing an inner work in us. We may have to stay in the wilderness a little longer than expected in order to flush some things out of us that could be a hindrance to stepping into the promises that GOD has prepared for us. GOD knows exactly how long the wait should be so that when the promises appear, we are ready for them mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Isaiah 40:31 identifies several experiences during the “waiting” period.
1) Our strength is renewed. GOD renews our strength supernaturally by stabilizing our thoughts. Can we be real. The human side of us will always focus on negative things and that those things are the reason for our promises being stalled. The word of GOD tells us that a double-minded man is unstable in all of His ways, and let not that man think that he will receive anything from the LORD (James 1:8). It takes a person strong in the faith to bring his or her thoughts into alignment with God’s. Each test we face in life brings with it renewed strength for our spiritual journey. This strength carries us one step closer to His promises.
2) We will mount up with wings as eagles. Not only is our strength renewed, but we will learn how to soar during adverse and turbulent winds. GOD mounts us up by His Spirit, causing us to soar in extreme conditions. It is not by our might or power, but by His Spirit that will give us the lift to rise above our storms. As we mount up and fly, we will soar higher and higher into the presence of GOD where nothing else matters but Him. As we are caught up in the air, He will then drop unexpected blessings for us to enjoy at the moment we least expect it. GOD desires that our attention is more on Him than His promises. He commands us not to have any other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3). We must never reach a point where His promises become our god. The wait is preparing us to rise up and soar.
3) We will run and not be weary. GOD will give us endurance. As we focus on fulfilling His purpose during the wait, He will give us endurance to persevere. His assignment must come first. As we serve in His assignment for our life, then He will serve us with His promises. Our mission in life should be to serve Him, faithfully.
4) We will walk and not faint. During the wait you are actually walking into the promises of GOD.
We are all familiar with doors. In our natural lives we use doors every day. They simply represent a way to transition from one area into another area. Merriam-Webster defines a door as “a usually swinging or sliding barrier by which an entry is closed and opened.” I prefer to define a door simply as “something that opens and closes” and something that separates this from that. GOLDEN NUGGET A Door Is Something That Opens and Closes and Separates This from That We commonly use the term door in a broader sense such as a door of opportunity opening up, or perhaps a door to a new job.
Just as there are physical doors and doors of opportunity, there are also spiritual doors. Some doors can only be opened at the appropriate time. Some doors can only be opened up by the right people. Some doors can only be opened by the Spirit of God. Some doors will only open specifically to access destructive forces. There are many, many kinds of doors. To help expand on this concept, here are a few door types for you to consider:
• Natural and Physical Doors
• Geographical Doors
• Spiritual Doors
Doors in Time
Doors of Relationships
Doors of Opportunity
Doors of Blessing
Doors of Destruction
Revelation 3:7-8 says, “These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.
I want to talk to you about the word RE-ALIGNMENT.
The definition of Re-alignment is the act or instance of restoring or changing something to a previous or different position.
There has been a clear changing of the guard for the last few years as several major leaders have been moved, demoted, stripped down, exposed, or passed away.
After a great testing, a new generation of Christian leaders are emerging from the sidelines. Largely unknown, they have been prepared in obscurity for such a time as this just like with Esther. They will be of all ages and from all backgrounds to include men and women. And what will matter the most is that they will have a pure heart fully devoted to God.
It has never been more vital for God’s people to realign themselves with the right people in the right places. Our destiny will depend upon our correct alignment in this new season upon us. Warning this may mean exiting from significant relationships, changing jobs, career fields which may include resigning from your sororities and secret societies and even possibly moving and relocating to a different region.
It may be painful, uncomfortable, and lonely for a season. But don’t allow false loyalty to keep you in an old wineskin. God has much more for you – but you may need to reposition or disconnect from some things to fully enter into it.
Luke 5:37 NKJV…And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined.
What is Exposure it is the act or condition of being exposed to something dangerous, cold, or harmful, or the harmful effect of something on your body. It also means the revealing of something private or secret, the revealing of a person's bad or immoral character, or the revealing of a person's secrets.
Things that have been hidden will continue to be revealed at a faster pace. Great deceptions will be exposed. There will be a desperate attempt to continue to cover-up corruption, lies, injustice, fraud, greed, and other evils but It will fail. Evil will overplay its hand. Light will shine into the darkest corners of corruption. Secret documents and recordings will surface and a level of exposure will come that will shock all political factions.
National leaders will be disgraced and will be removed before their terms are finished. Anger will boil over among people and there will be protests on the streets and great civil unrest. Trust in all institutions (banking, investing, schools, hospitals etc will be fractured). And in the midst of this, evil leaders will arise from the sidelines who will gather people to themselves. Some will start out to appear to be noble and trustworthy; others will be demonically assigned to create chaos and advance the antichrist agenda. Discernment will be vital for our survival. The enemy will use the chaos to attempt to install more puppet leaders in government to continue their ruthless agenda to destroy the world.
Matthew 10:26 NKJV…Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
We are living in a time of disruption. Crisis after crisis has been coming upon the earth as the shaking, shifting, and sifting continues (and even intensifies) for the foreseeable future.
The spiritual and geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting and colliding in every region of the earth and sphere of society. The epicenters of power are being redefined. There is a great displacement taking place. As new alliances are formed between different countries, some previously ‘emerging’ nations will rise to great prominence as others that were at the forefront of power will see their dominance significantly decline for the last shall be first and the first shall be last.
This global realignment in 2024 will bring war, violence, material conflict, economic sanctions, uprisings, strikes, attempted murders and even political assassinations. We will also experience an unprecedented rise in natural disasters and other unusual crises, including contamination of food/water and unusual diseases that make COVID-19 look like nothing.
We must continue to watch the Middle East because it’s very volatile, especially with what happens in Israel as the war with hamas palestinians continue to rack up insurmountable deaths that will cause world leaders to pressure Israel into a cease fire. Long-standing allies will turn their back on Zion. But God will defend His people. There will be much fear and anxiety as people simply won’t know where to turn. It may even appear as if the world is coming to an end…but we all know that time has not yet because the 3rd temple hasn’t even been built yet.
Matthew 24:7-8 NKJV…For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. But know that for the Remnant GOD has opened a door of escape in 5784.
Peace and Blessings to you in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
From the desk of one of His faithful servants, 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, 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. Know that there will be a spiritual battle for the effectual door of promise to be opened. While the number 4 represents an open door, I believe also that the Lord is speaking to us deeper about 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" (פ), which signifies a time of completion and fulfillment. Moreover, the number 4 in Hebrew is represented by the letter "dalet" (ד), 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 the Divine. 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 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 Preachers.
So Now Under the 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.
