“…Oh! – a door open into heaven…”
Revelation 4:1 MSG
The Lord showed me this coming Rosh Hashanah 5784 (beginning at sundown September 15) is the year of a Door Into An Open Heaven. A very kairos and strategic season for the church. (Read last year’s Rosh Hashanah 5783 article to understand more about this Jewish Holiday and it’s significance HERE)
After John, the beloved, received and wrote down the love letters from King Jesus to the seven churches, he looked and saw an open portal, a DOOR into the heavenly realm before him. Then he heard the voice of a triumphant trumpet speak, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this.” (Revelation 4:1 TPT)
John entered into the Spirit realm for a deeper revelation and unveiling of Jesus (see Rev. 1:1). The days are upon us when nothing else will satisfy except for true intimacy with the Lord. The days are upon us when all else will be shaken except for our trust in Him. That’s why the King of Glory wants us to access places in Him we’ve never gone before.
Eternal life is this: to truly know and experience our Father God and Jesus His Son (John 17:3). Holy Spirit wants to show you things that will crush your religious images of Him and bring you real freedom and real life. The Divine Encourager will also lead you into all truth and reveal prophetically things that are to come.
This is not just for some “spiritually elite” class of believers. This is for you, son or daughter of the Most High! The blood of Jesus has cleansed and qualified you to experience all of who He is and all you are a co-heir of in the Kingdom of God.
The number “4” in 5784 is the Hebrew letter dalet. Dalet is a symbol for a door or gate. More specifically it is a doorpost and lintel. (During the first Passover, the Israelites put the blood of their lamb on the doorposts and lintels of their homes to escape death. This, of course, is a picture of the cross and salvation through the atoning blood of Jesus, our precious Lamb of God).
Jesus said in John chapter 10 that He Himself IS The Door. We know that Jesus is the only Entry-Way to the Father and that through believing in Him, confessing He set us free from sin and guilt through His finished work, and asking Him to be Lord and Savior of our lives, we are saved.
The dalet (or pictograph depicting Jesus as the door) signifies a crossing over from one space to another. You leave one place and are brought into a new one. When you were reborn, you crossed over from death to life, from darkness to LIGHT. But now Jesus wants you to step out of the natural realm and into His glory realm to taste of these heavenly realities. He wants you to live from Heaven to Earth.
“Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.” Colossians 3:1-2 TPT
The Lord wants you, by faith, to come into the deepest recesses of His heart where in His power and perfect shalom you can receive freely the healing, wholeness, rest and restoration only He can give. You will also grow in the knowledge of your true identity in Christ and the authority you have as a believer. He has so much to share with you personally through your trust and sweet communion with Him.
His life is endless and therefore there’s no end to discovering His very being, nature, presence, grace, creativity and the vastness of His love. Jesus taught his closest friends to pray, “on earth as it is in heaven.” His Word is His will. He desires for you to receive what’s true of heaven here and now. This is your blood-bought inheritance. Once you freely take, then you can freely give.
He is calling you to traverse the threshold into Goshen (“drawing near”) to behold Him at new heights, to gaze upon His goodness and to be utterly undone by His loving care for you. This will take being still and tuning out distractions. The more you get quiet, spend time with Him and seek Him in His Word, the more you will sense His presence, His Hope, His joy and even His playfulness.
“Come as fast as you can and join me here. I’ll give you a place to live in Goshen where you’ll be close to me—you, your children, your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and anything else you can think of. I’ll take care of you there completely.” Genesis 45:9-11 MSG
In the days ahead, accept the invitation into this open heaven where Jesus will be your sanctuary, shelter, refuge, protection and comfort. Believe you are truly “shut in” by the Door of Heaven just as Noah was “shut in” the ark enjoying the Lord’s safety and covering (Genesis 7:16). While the storm rages outside, you can experience new levels of His supernatural peace, provision and plans for you.
Moreover, we are approaching the Gregorian calendar year 2024.
The numbers of this Jewish new year added together equal 24…
5+7+8+4=24
Psalm 24 speaks of believers (His temple) as living gates and doorways. He calls for us to arise, lift up our heads and face Him without shame. Open up to Him and praise Him! Choose to live without doubt and with bold confidence in expectation of the filling of the King of Glory. When we receive His overflowing, undeserved favor and gift of righteousness, we will reign with Him (Romans 5:17). And the gates of hell will not prevail!
“So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, Yahweh, invincible in every way!” Psalms 24:7-8 TPT
“Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders, but you shall call your walls Salvation (Yeshua=Jesus) and your gates Praise.” Isaiah 60:18 AMPC
[PRAYER: Abba, I want to know the Truth. I want to know You more. I want to encounter Jesus. I want to receive everything Jesus died to give me. I want to know my true identity and authority in You. And I want to enter into this door of heaven, Your presence, to experience the life and freedom you long for me to have. I trust that no matter what happens in the world around me, because I am found in You, I am supernaturally protected and provided for. I put my trust wholly in You and thank you that the blood of Jesus covers me and my family…in Jesus’s matchless name, Amen!]
Resting In His Love,

Jesus has been pursuing you relentlessly all your life. If you’ve never received Jesus Christ as your forgiveness, your Lord and your Savior, you can pray this simple prayer from your heart and become born again, a brand new creation and child of Daddy God, your loving Father:
“Heavenly Father, Thank you for sending your Son for me. I believe He came to earth to be born in the flesh to die my death on the cross. I believe His blood washed my sins away and completely cleansed me. I believe He redeemed me from every curse by becoming my curse and was raised from the dead because I was declared justified and righteous. Jesus, come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I am now fully forgiven! I am a child of God, blessed, favored and incomprehensibly loved. In Jesus Name. Amen!”
