Year 2020- Open Hands

 I was thinking about the year 2020 and hear in my spirit check the Hebrew. The number twenty symbolizes redemption.  

 The Hebrew Letter kaph represents the number 20. Kaph is a palm, an open hand in Hebrew. Kaph signifies giving freely with the palm up or covering sin with the palm down. 

  The year 2020 represents two open hands, both giving freely. It is a double portion (Isaiah 61:7-8) year. The Lord is saying, “I have both My palms up and I am giving freely to you from both hands.” In other words, this is the year of the “double portion”. This double portion is being given in every area of our lives. In the spiritual, it is a closer relationship with Him and a doubling of the fruits and the gifts of the Spirit.

 I was thinking about the year 2020 and hear in my spirit check the Hebrew. The number twenty symbolizes redemption.  

 The Hebrew Letter kaph represents the number 20. Kaph is a palm, an open hand in Hebrew. Kaph signifies giving freely with the palm up or covering sin with the palm down. 

  The year 2020 represents two open hands, both giving freely. It is a double portion (Isaiah 61:7-8) year. The Lord is saying, “I have both My palms up and I am giving freely to you from both hands.” In other words, this is the year of the “double portion”. This double portion is being given in every area of our lives. In the spiritual, it is a closer relationship with Him and a doubling of the fruits and the gifts of the Spirit. This also means a doubling of the Fire of God and the Power of God in your life. In the physical, it is a doubling of health, wholeness,, and strength as well as healings. In the financial, it a releasing of double what you need. These are just three areas of your life, that God is going to freely give to you in every area of your life. 

    As we receiving from the Lord, I hear in the Spirit we are to freely give (Matthew 10:7-8).  It is in the giving that you will maximize the double portion. We are to do Isaiah 61, we are to proclaim the good news, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom to the captives and release those who are prisoners of darkness. We are to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and warn of the day of God’s vengeance. 

We are to rebuild the ancient ruins and renew our ruined cities. 

  How can we do all this? Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me... Jesus declared this at the beginning of His ministry.  Jesus is the head and we are His body and anointing of the Spirit flows down to us His body.  We can do everything by Anointing of the Holy Spirit.  

   So, as God has opened His hand and is giving freely to us, let us go into 2020 with our hands open with our palms up to freely give. Also, be willing to have our palms down to cover sin and to lift those up who need our help.

Third Level Blessing

By Richard L. Spangler
(At the urging of the Holy Spirit, I am reposting this article. I hope it Blesses you.)

 While attending a Ministering Spiritual Gifts Conference I heard a teaching by

Apostle John Burkholder of Buffalo, NY. Apostle Burkholder taught on Luke 6:38,
“Give and it will be given to you a good measure, pressed down, shaken together
and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it
will be measured to you.”

             He stated, that he prays this over his offerings regularly. One day as he was                  
praying  this verse, God spoke to him that he was praying it wrong. Apostle John
asked how that he was praying it wrong. The Lord stated it was not enough to pray
for his offering to blessed, but he needed to pray for those who the Lord spoke to:
 to give to him to be blessed, so that they could give.

Then the Lord took it to another level, not only was to pray for blessings for those who were to give to him but also pray for those who were to bless the givers so that they could bless the givers. This is a third level blessing.

This takes blessing others to a whole different level; it takes it beyond simple
addition into multiplication of blessings. God is a God of multiplication. We see at
creation in Genesis how God commanded everything living thing to be fruitful and
multiply (not add).

 This is true in blessings as well as praying for others to be blessed. If we pray in the
matter stated above, our blessings will be multiplied as well.  So as you give your
tithes and offerings, pray for those who are to give to you, to be blessed, and also for
hose who are to bless them to receive a blessing.

Here is a personal example. I prayed over my offering that afternoon and on Sunday
at church. Now my wife has had some physical issues that prevented her from
working for more than two years. (God has been faithful in His provision for us).
  We and her doctors agreed that she should apply for disability. So, she set down and
filled out all the paperwork and submitted it. Her claim was promptly rejected. She
appealed. We were to go to an appeals hearing on the next Tuesday. I was told that I
could say nothing during the hearing, so I just sat there and prayed quietly in the
Spirit. The judge stated that it appeared my wife qualified and that we would be
notified in 7 to 10 days of his decision. We were excited and praised God. It gets
better, our attorney called on Friday, stating that the judge’s decision had already
been given and he ruled in our favor! She stated it would at least two months before
we received any back payments (two years’ worth) and then monthly checks. We
again rejoiced. Then on the following Tuesday, the lawyer called, stating she did not
understand it but the checked was already processed and mailed. We were stunned. On Friday we received a check for two years’ worth of back payments. Praise the
Lord.  We tithed on what we received and I again prayed over it and now waiting to
see what God does now.

            Again I want to encourage you, when you give your tithes and offerings praying for God’s blessing. Then go beyond that praying for others to be blessed so they can bless you. Finally, take it to third level of blessing, praying for those to be blessed that are to bless those who are to bless you. Then, watch and see what God will do.
