2015 – Rediscovering The Kingdom

Matthew 13:44-45
44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

If something is lost it must be searched for to be found.
You are going to rediscover the Kingdom of God in 2015.

5775 – Ayin Hei (Hey)

The year to see again.   God will restore spiritual blind eyes this year.  What you could not see last year, you will this year.

Let me give you some of the meaning of Ayin Hey.

It means double portion.
It means GRACE.

It means, “to behold through a window.”
Hey is connected with the word BREATH.

Its picture, in Hebrew, is a man with his arms raised and praising God.

Hallelujah is a HEY word.

2 Samuel 22:4
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.

Praised is the word Halal.
So praising the Lord through the breath of our mouths and through the position of our hands will be KEY weapons in overcoming the enemy this year.

Hey also means “BREATH” or “WIND”, Whirlwind.

Acts 2:2
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

John 3:8
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

2014 was the year of the open door.
The open door of the Kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is something that doesn’t just happen; it must be entered INTO by being converted.

Matthew 18:3-5
3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

Vs. 3 – BECOME IS GINOMAI.

As it was last year, Ayin means to “see” or perceive.  You can be optimistic or pessimistic.
Many in the church feel ineffective, insignificant, disappointed.  Once full of hope; now despair.

Like Abram of old, we have come to the end of ourselves.

Abram had a promise but it tarried beyond his human potential to make it happen.

But remember Hey” means 5 and it was on Abram’s fifth encounter with God that everything changed.

Genesis 17:4-7
4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.

7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

It was here his name was changed to Abraham. 
Abram alone was powerless to produce a son.

So God, when He renamed Abram, added Himself to Abraham to transform him.

So this year God’s GRACE will fall on you to empower you to rise above your human LIMITATIONS.



Yours for revival,
