For weeks I have been hearing the wordTwelvein my spirit and soul.Twelve is
also a number, a numerical expression of two (2) and ten (10) combined. The
number of twelve is also symbolic of the divine power of ELOHIM, apostolic fullness
and the government of Jesus Christ. The following is what the Holy Spirit has given
to me regarding the word and number of Twelve.What do the Scriptures reveal
about Twelve? NASB: the word twelve is found 169 times in 145verses. Although
some words are listed more than once I have only listed one reference.

In 2008, I anticipate each month to hold a variety of divine revelations, unusual
learning experiences, different gifts, life transforming impartations, true mantles,
strengthening and equipping, open and shut doors, open and closed gates, open
and locked windows, open and closed opportunities, open and sealed scrolls,
supernatural suddenlies and surprises, radical governmental changes,
unprecedented reconciliation and restoration of families, a divine release of
holiness to the body of Christ…that might be expressed in any measure of the 43
Scripture references or the 12 gates listed above.
ELOHIM is beyond our finite comprehension in HIS overt
true and pure faithfulness in giving HIS strength and hope to those in
captivity, in releasing HIS double portion to those overcoming death,
in bringing HIS restoration and truth to the lost, in pouring out HIS Holy Spirit to
the church, in calling forth repentance through the impartation of HIS
Scriptures. ADONAI is the LORD and HE is sovereign. Daily, we are each given the
opportunity to intentionally choose YESHUA.
