The Lord has given me a prophetic word, revealing what this new year is going to hold for you – and great things are going to happen!

You have either already come through your time of promotion or are finishing up a transitional period. Either way, God is prepping and preparing you. He is putting you on a good foundation and setting you up for the new year, 5782, at Rosh Hashanah on September 6 at sundown.

The numbers 5,7,8, and 2 represent grace, perfection, new beginnings and double. Praise the Lord! I’ve been seeing this in my spirit, a double glory is coming! 

The word “glory” in Hebrew, is the word kabod. Kabod is the weighty presence of the Lord. It’s different than other words for glory. This glory doesn’t just involve you. It involves the nation, churches, ministries, communities, businesses and other individuals. I’ve seen this firsthand during my travels. There are various ministries that will be glory carriers in this new year. Praise God!

In 2 Kings 2, Elisha desired to inherit a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. In verse 10 Elijah tells him, “You’ve asked a difficult thing. However, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.”

Powerful! That word “see” means perceive. Elisha was able to see/perceive in the spirit the supernatural things taking place in Elijah’s life. Just like Elisha, you have the ability to see things spiritually too. Those that see are about to get a double portion.

Did you know that God is calling you to be a glory carrier? He has prepared you thus far but wants to properly position you to receive even more. You have seen some glory and gone from glory to glory, but He is setting you up for a release of His double glory!

This double portion of the glory of the Lord is going to cause you to see signs, miracles, and wonders like you have never seen before.

Habakkuk 2:14 says, “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” You’re going to see the release of the double glory and the knowledge of His glory. See, you have the knowledge of the glory when you can see the glory in action, and see God working so you can join Him.

I hope you are beginning to feel the presence of the Lord in a powerful way today, that you will want to be a glory carrier too! The earth will be filled with His glory. Let’s purpose to be a part of it!

Exciting times! You have now entered the month of Elul, the last month of the Hebrew year 5781. Soon you’ll be walking into a brand-new Hebrew year at Rosh Hashanah on Sept 6^th. Be sure to take these next few weeks to reflect on a few things:

Repentance. This is a season of repentance. You need to sit down and spend time with the Lord in worship, prayer, fasting and studying the Word of God. Now is the time for cleansing and purification. Being in His presence will properly position and align you to be a glory carrier of the Lord.

Remembrance. You might remember being crushed in July, but in August you’ve stepped into a time of promotion! God will give you strategies that are uniquely and perfectly filled with insight on how He can rebuild your personal temple.

Rebuilding. The glory of the latter house is greater than the glory of the former house! (Haggai 1&2) You’re stepping into a new place. Your temple – spirit, soul, body, mind and emotions – are being transformed. Your old man is gone, and this new you is being rebuilt! You are not lacking anything. You have prosperity of mind. You are ready for this brand-new year carrying double glory!

Proverbs 3:9-10 says, “Honor the Lord with your substance and the first fruits of all your increase, then your barns will be overflowing and your vats will be filled with new wine.”

That word “honor” in the book of Proverbs is actually the same word for glory. Let’s read that verse again, “Glorythe Lord with your substance, and the first fruits of all of your increase. And then you will have the vats being full, they will be overflowing with new wine.”

Your substance is compiled with things from your past and present. God is looking for you to give Him glory and honor now. You must keep your mindset prosperity-focused because you are seated with Christ in heavenly places and have a new identity in Christ.

Renew. As this powerful new year of 5782 approaches, renewing your commitment to give God your first fruits will bless Him. The first fruits of your increase and substance are very important to the Lord, and they open up ways for Him to bless you. So give Him the first fruits of all your increase!

If you need more education on soul transformation, I have a great course called “Soul Transformation: Your Personal Journey.” It’s six short videos that contain concise teaching. Along with it, you will get an ebook that gives you something to do every day. Click here for more information.

Where the Lord is taking you in this upcoming year is so profound. He has got so much in store for you. You don’t want to miss it! The Lord is moving, and He needs you on His team!

I have a powerful word for you today. Promotion time is here! It began on August 1st, and it will continue until August 15th. August is the eighth month on the Gregorian calendar and the number “eight” means new beginnings. On the Hebrew calendar, this period covers the last week of Av and the first week of Elul, the last month of year 5781. It is also the beginning of the rebuilding time in the Season of Teshuvah or repentance which culminates at Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, for the Jewish people, which is the Highest Holy Day of the year starting on sundown September 15-September 16. You see in the month of Av, during the Three Weeks of Sorrow from July 27-July 18 many of you were crushed and pulverized in your hearts and bodies.  This is just like the temple of the Lord had been destroyed in history by the Romans and King Nebuchadnezzar. If you felt crushed and pulverized in your body, which is the temple of the Lord,  you are now coming out into your time of promotion and God is cleansing your temple and rebuilding it in the month of Elul so you can carry double glory at Rosh Hashanah on sundown September 6 , the new Hebrew year of 5782.

After you went through testing and trials, and walked through the Three Weeks of Sorrow. This was all a time of transition. Transition can be hard, especially when your identity is rocked and you question who you are and who God is. But this reaction to transition is normal. Many heroes of the faith experienced the same at one point, even after they had seen great signs or miracles.

There was a man named Gideon, who found himself in this very situation. Judges 6:11-12 says, “And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the wine press to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him and said unto him, ‘The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor.’”

Powerful! The Lord sent an angel to Gideon even though his identity at the moment was not one of power and might. Gideon was feeling depressed. The Israelites were under oppression. Then God came! Even though Gideon was questioning the Lord after all the amazing things He had done, and here was His angel sitting under a tree! In God’s love and mercy He sent the message through an angel to call Gideon, “thou mighty man of valor.” God gave Him a new identity!

Maybe you feel oppressed today. You’re questioning the trials and testing; you’re asking the Lord, “Where are the miracles?” Be encouraged! God is going to build a new foundation in you! A new temple of God is emerging where glory will be present!

When God came to Gideon, He specifically spoke about how Gideon’s identity had to change. He had to stop identifying with loss, tragedy and oppression and begin to see himself as the mighty man of valor he was called to be! If he was going to come out in victory, he was going to have to renew his mind and thoughts to align with God’s declaration.

The same is true for you. Now is the time of change! If you’re going to transition into God’s strategies of promotion, you have to start seeing yourself as God sees you. Your identity is in Him and Him alone! You’ve got to start seeing things as God sees them. He is rebuilding you now for double glory!

Remember when the angel called Gideon a “mighty man of valor?” The word “valor” in Hebrew is the word “khalil,” and it means the glory of the Lord, the wealth and resources of God. So basically, the angel was saying to Gideon, “Hey, mighty man of valor. Hey, man with great resources who carries the Lord’s glory.” Praise the Lord!

If you’re feeling like you aren’t carrying the glory of the Lord right now, all you have to do is allow your identity to begin to shift and transition for this promotion time. You are going to carry more of the glory of the Lord when you find yourself in Him! Your new identity in Christ as a person of “valor in Him” is your new foundation for your temple for the new Hebrew year!

I’m telling you right now that on September 6th, when the calendar turns over on Rosh Hashanah, the brand-new Hebrew year of 5782, you’re going to walk in double glory! Yes! Double glory! There is going to be a double explosion coming. Prepare yourself! And share this with a friend who needs to be empowered to change their way of thinking.
