Tet is the symbol for 9
The Number 9 symbolizes end, conclusion, fullness of blessings, and evangelist.
["Numbers," Dream Encounter Symbols, By Barbie Breathitt, www.BreathoftheSpiritMinistries.com].
The Fullness of Blessing for Joseph is indeed overflowing. What Jacob says of him, is history as well as prophecy. Jacob reminds him of the difficulties and fiery darts of temptations he had formerly struggled through. His faith did not fail, but through his trials he bore all his burdens with firmness, and did not do anything unbecoming. Jacob was well acquainted with this life message for he had an authority through a conclusion of walking out this reality.
All our strength for resisting temptations, and bearing afflictions, comes from God; his grace is sufficient. Joseph became the shepherd of Israel, to take care of his father and family; also the stone of Israel, their foundation and strong support. In this, as in many other things, Joseph was a remarkable type of the Good Shepherd, and tried Corner Stone of the whole church of God.
Blessings are promised to Joseph's descendants, typical of the vast and everlasting blessings that come upon the spiritual seed of Christ. Jacob blessed all his sons, but especially Joseph, "who was separated from his brethren." Not only separated in Egypt, but, possessing eminent dignity, and was more devoted to God.
This is a real picture of the year of 2009 including the tet symbol that represents a New Wine Skin or even a "fertile womb." In the days of Joseph, that was a huge blessing to be proliferated through the seed of their ancestors to increase the family of God. As women gave birth to more Israelites, this was viewed as a sign of fruitfulness. We are entering a season of the fullness of God's blessings IF we abandon the pains from poor choices in the past. Let them go, offer them on the alter of grace before God and feel the refreshing blessings begin to flow again in your life, your relationships that get restored and your intimacy with our Father deepens day by day.
Another meaning for the number 9 is conclusion.
When Joseph was reunited through famine with his brothers who had sold him into slavery, God was bringing a conclusion to the way human flesh deals with problems. This is one of the best messages of God's grace for His own people that could be cited in the entire bible.
Joseph could have had his brothers executed; yet he displayed overwhelming mercy and became the redeemer for not only his immediate family but also national Israel.
Jacob was very knowledgeable of God's ability to turn tragedy into triumph, demonstrating that if we will purpose to view God in the process, then this will allow the stones in our paths to become the very "Gates of God!"
This year allow your stones in your path to become your "Bethel of Blessings!"
"At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone for a pillow and lay down to sleep. 12) As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from earth to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down on it. 13) At the top of the stairway stood the LORD, and he said, "I am the LORD, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I will give it to you and your descendants.
16) "Then Jacob woke up and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I wasn't even aware of it."
17) He was afraid and said, "What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the house of God--the gateway to heaven!" Genesis 28:16,17
Jacob went on to pay a great price for the valuable lessons of a pathway from trickster to triumphant! Joseph was just one such reminder, yet in the end, God turned all things around to bring us the message this year offers:
2009 is the Birth of your Turnaround!
Joseph was Jacob's son favored son. Yowceph is the Hebrew spelling for Joseph and means "he increases or enlarges or becomes more full." As this time of revelation came to light, that his brothers lied to their father, it lets us know that in 2009 we must let go of any sinful patterns of our past. This will bring a necessary healing of old iniquitous ways to a required conclusion. God will now "Joseph" (Yowceph) or enlarge our blessings into their fullness. We are in a season of both chronos and kairos times. Our chronos will be a season of fullness if we will begin to allow the Spirit of Travail to cause the kairos moment of God's orders for new birth to soon occur.
We must view what God desires as our lifestyle and not succumb to human efforts of "busyness." 2009 will be a year to End the Strife of past broken relationships and once again, move forward with your obedience to God in "Birthing your Destiny." We cannot move forward without some very important conclusions to past mistakes. This will enable us to walk in the gratitude of grace from our Lord as opposed to wandering in the "wilderness of wants" forever. The Spirit of Travail is droping on everyone who positions themselves for desperation to birth their prophetic destiny now! (Coming next is my revelation from the message of Hannah. Please read this account in 1Samuel 1 and 2).
Grace is sufficient for all our needs.
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2009 is the time you and your family will be encouraged by God to forget the past, embrace your Fullness of Blessings and take that message to a very hurting world.
2009 is a Year of Evangelistic Harvest!
The year 2009 will indeed become the beginning of one of the most unprecedented times of harvest this nation and the world has ever experienced. We must be ready for such reaping. Reaping is best for those who have prepared their nets. We must now have our visions of a Move of God raised higher. The world around us is experiencing this in a way most Americans have ever experienced.
Take time to follow the Lord's drawing you into a deep hunger for intimacy with Him and the Sheep of His Pasture. He cares for everyone of His creation. He made us to glorify Him in all the earth. 2009 will be a year that is initiated in many exciting ways. Begin to thank the Lord for all His love and grace and care that He gave us more than we could ever deserve.
Now is the time to begin drawing into the heart of our Lord and to thank Him for all He has done for a people who deserve none of His goodness. This is a season in time to decree press in for you and your family to experience in 2009 and beyond the Fullness of Blessings!
Always a Voice for our Lord,
