2008 Word of the Lord - December 31, 2007 - Candi MacAlpine
(Click here for printable version)

This will be a year of suddenlies, a year of gates, gates will open and gates will close, gates will lock, and gates will be unlocked, gates once opened will close, and gates once closed will open, ancient gates will be revealed, gates to cities and nations, gates I have waited to reveal for centuries.

Have ears to hear in the spirit the sound of the gates opening and closing. Be discerning of the times for as the gates open and close the enemy will be stalking to try and deceive and go through gates I do not intend for him to go through. The gate of revelation will be opened in 2008 into realms of the spirit for my body, revelation of my design for my church in the earth. There will even be those that I will release with the revelation that are unknown to the circuit and streams that have the light shining on them at this time. For I will receive all the glory and you will know that this has come from my throne.

I shall also be opening the gates of heaven to many from across the earth who have been faithful and served mankind and my purposes. Their reward is full and they have run the race to the end and have truly won their race and received their reward. Do not cry and do not be afraid it is but the time and hour of eternity calling for my church to truly arise and prepare to be enraptured by my love and know my heartbeat.

There will still be more releases in the automotive realm that will amaze many.

My prophetic words will reach new heights and exposure in 2008 in places not open to the prophetic before.

The rocks are truly ready to cry out for I am passionate to see the bride of Christ arise to realms of worship that will transform cities, regions, and possibly even nations.

The fire of my presence will burn hotter and hotter in 2008, revealing everything that must be exposed and burned so that the purity of the glory can be released in my church. Do not be afraid of the fire you are secure in me but it is time for many to be purged and delivered from ancient and iniquitous patterns that have held captive the saints. Cry out for the blood, it is sufficient to cleanse and purify you from all patterns of destruction.

The wealth of the wicked is still being stockpiled for wars yet to come. Intercede for the exposure and depletion of these resources to be transferred into the Kingdom of Light.

There is a beginning and end to all things. Does not the first sentence in my word say "in the beginning God created"? I am and have always been and will always be the only creator. Do not allow the spirit of deception deceive you into believing anything different. Does not the end of my word say "Yes, I am coming soon"? Believe that in the fullness of time my Son will arise from His seat next to me and return to bring you into your eternal security and destiny. My word is true and is not a lie. Man will endeavor to try and discount my word this year in new ways. Hold strong to the truth that is between the lst sentence and the last sentence of my word.

Blessings and release upon us as we step through the gate of 2008.

As we prepare for many words that will come forth through many prophetic voices I want to quote from reliable and wise sources some of the explanations of types and symbols that the Lord clothes prophetic words in to help us understand and prepare for His word to come to pass. I highly recommend these 2 resources as musts in any believers library.

Kevin Conners "Interpreting the symbols and types" GATES "is a symbol of entrance, power, authority, Gen. 19:1; 22:17; 24:60; Ex. 32:26-27; Heb.13:12; Ps. 24:7; 100:4; 107:16; 122:2; Mt. 16:18"
The Number 8 "symbol of new beginning, resurrection day. Jn 20:26, Lk 9:28-35, Ac 9:33; 1 Pet 3:20; Gen. 7:12; 2 Pet 2:5.

Dr. Paula Price's "The Prophet's Dictionary" GATES: "In Bible symbology, gates were important. They were installed at the city entrance and were also used to guard castles. Typically, gates were built as defenses with towers. The purpose of the gate was to provide a movable barrier through which people could be screened and enter the city upon permission. Ancient gates were opened in the morning and locked at night and were the only way to lawfully enter the city. The most common gates were constructed with thick walls, double doors, and reinforcement bars. They usually had huge keys that the gatekeeper was to safeguard with his life. The guards patrolling the gates were combined peacekeepers and soldiers. In times of war, attacking kings strove to enter the city by the gate. To do so meant his army had conquered their enemies inside and he was no longer barred from taking over. The previous inhabitants controlling the city and its contents were subdued. It is this symbolism that comes forth in Jesus' admonishment to strive to enter in the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13). Gate strategy was paramount in a ancient war campaigns. Metaphorically, it was understood in antiquity that once a king entered the city by the gate he had access and control of all it's wealth, commerce, and resources, having seized full authority over the land. To break through the enemy's gate was a major triumph and all warring kings looked forward to it. See the Almighty's prophecy to King Cyrus regarding the gates and double doors in Isaiah 45:1."

"Fortified cities had gates that served many purposes. They were often designed to house guards, store siege supplies, and hold off enemy invaders. Gates were also where business was transacted, courts convened, and where diplomatic figures resorted to carry out political affairs."

"To prophetically dream gates or to see them in prayer indicates the Lord's introduction to a higher more authoritative course of life. Generally an elevation in business, politics, or even spiritual warfare is foreshadowed. Gate symbology goes all the way back to eternity as Job 38:17 speaks of them in the underworld and Genesis 28:17 speaks of them in heaven in Creator God's domain. There is also the reference to the twelve gates to God's New Jerusalem in Revelation 21:12,21. A synonym for gate is portal. It has the same connotation but with more spherical implications in mind."

"The number 8: "The number of new beginning, such as the new week in Genesis 2:2-7 (see seventh verse especially). The passage explains it as the number following the last day of the Lord's week and the first day after His Sabbath rest from His labors. Resuming His work, the Lord created Adam on the eighth day. That is the day the clay vessel was filled with the spirit of life and soul breath from the Father. While Jesus was the offshoot of David, it is interesting to note that David was Jess's eighth son who marked, coincidentally, the new monarchical reign of Israel after Saul's death. Its application to the New Testament church is seen in Micah 5:4-5 where it mentions the seven shepherds. With Jesus as the Chief Shepherd, that brings the number to eight, with the seven shepherds foreshadowing the seven angels spiritually governing and pastoring the New Testament church. Eight souls were saved from the antediluvian flood. The same eight were rescued from eternal death when Christ preached the gospel to them in Hell. See 1 Peter 3:18-20. Eight was also the number of days to expire before a newborn male child could be circumcised and dedicated to the Lord under the Law of Moses."
