I purposely waited until today, the 8th to share this word because it’s all about the number 8, reflecting the year 2024 = 8!

The past few weeks I’ve been asking the Lord, “what are you saying to your people for this coming year?”

He spoke and said, “I am breathing resurrection life into the dead places, into their pain, into their disappointment, into the things they have lost, I am breathing upon many houses again to bring resurrection LIFE and a holy order.”

The Lord continued to speak to me about the significance of this year 2024 and how the numbers when added calculate to 8.

He spoke again and said, “Dig deep into my word for the number 8, listen to what the spirit is saying for this year”

GOD’S POWER IS RAISING YOU FROM THE DEAD PLACES

The number 8 represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man’s true “born again” event when he is resurrected from death to life.

8 is also an integral part of Jesus’ sacrifice. Like the Passover lamb, Jesus was selected as the Lamb to take away man’s sins on Nisan 10 (April 1, 30 A.D. – John 12:28 – 29) and was crucified on Nisan 14. His resurrection occurred three complete days after he was buried, which was at the end of the weekly Sabbath day that fell on Nisan 17. Nisan 17 was day 8!

A NEW HEART

Boys, according to God’s law, were to be circumcised on the 8th day. The number 8 symbolizes circumcision of the heart through Christ and the receiving of the Holy Spirit.

Picture the circumcision of your heart as your old self fades away, and a fresh creation emerges from the ashes; reflecting the mystery of you— God’s perfect design.

“Through our union with him we have experienced the circumcision of the heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us.

For we’ve been buried with him into his death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised him from death’s realm.

This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭13‬

THE 8 BEATITUDES

Jesus began the Sermon on the Mount, his introduction to the New Covenant, with the beatitudes. The beatitudes are a list of 8 behaviors or attitudes that, if manifested in this life, will receive a reward or blessing from God in the resurrection!

HUMILITY
“What happiness comes to you when you feel your spiritual poverty! (humility) For yours is the realm of heaven’s kingdom.

MOURN
“What delight comes to you when you wait (mourn) upon the Lord! For you will find what you long for.

MEEKNESS
“What blessing comes to you when gentleness (meekness) lives in you! For you will inherit the earth.

GOODNES
“How enriched you are when you crave righteousness! (Goodness) For you will be satisfied.

FORGIVNESS
“How blessed you are when you demonstrate tender mercy! For tender mercy (forgiveness) will be demonstrated to you.

A HEART OF INNOCENCE
“What bliss you experience when your heart is pure! (Innocent) For then your eyes will open to see more and more of God.

PEACE MAKER
“How joyful you are when you make peace! For then you will be recognized as a true child of God

RIGHTEOUS
“How enriched you are when persecuted for doing what is right! For then you experience the realm of heaven’s kingdom.”
Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭10‬

Embrace the beatitudes as guideposts on your journey: humility, mourning, gentleness, righteousness, forgiveness, a heart of innocence, peacemaking, and endurance in the face of persecution. These virtues, like treasures, unlock God’s blessings in your life both on earth and in heaven.

8 REVEALINGS BEFORE ASCENSION

Jesus, after his resurrection, revealed himself alive 8 times just before his ascension into heaven. WOW!

“LIFE” is used about 35 times in the bible (3 + 5= 8 ) depending on the version you are reading).

The 8th Hebrew letter of the Alephbeyt in Chet which means LIFE!

The year 2024 (2+2+4 = 8 ) represents a life of transcendence—A level beyond nature and intellect. Everything in the world of time revolves around the number seven: the seven days of the week, the seventh year being a Sabbatical year, Eight, however, represents transcendence, a level that is beyond the natural order, a state of surpassing ordinary limits or existence.

In a horizontal position, the image of “8” typically resembles the infinity symbol (∞). Infinity represents an unbounded or LIMITLESS extent, often used to denote something that goes on forever or has no end… oh In Him there is NEW LIFE, a LIFE with no end!!

2024 welcomes a NEW LIFE of transcendence, surpassing the ordinary, and reaching new heights in the beloved.

This is the time of restoration, where death gives way to NEW LIFE— The old has gone, behold; the NEW has come!

“Do not remember the former things, Or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬-‭19‬
