A. Introduction

• 5773 Ayin Gimel -the promises of the year of the camel is still being fulfilled in our lives...keep claiming.....camels are coming.

• Even though the calendar year is over, the blessings continue on....

B. Ayin Dalet 5774

• Ayin – decade of 70s in Hebrew calendar.• Ayin means eye, to see, divine providence,

fountain,....

‘Seeing’

1. Gen 16:5-15 • Hagar conceived • Was asked to leave Abraham’s household• The angel of the Lord appeared to her by a spring in

the wilderness and blessed her unborn child and his descendents

• Hagar told to return to Abraham’s house. • She blessed the Lord calling Him, ‘You are the God who

Sees’ – El Roi.....

2. 2 Kings 2

• Elisha pursued Elijah to ask for a double portion of his spirit. (2 Ki 2:9).

• Elijah replied that if he could see when he was taken away, it would be given. (2:10).

• When God came to take Elijah in a chariot of fire, Elisha saw it (2:12)....and immediately picked up the mantle of Elijah. He performed double the number of miracles Elijah did......

• Syrian army surrounded Elisha in Dothan because he had leaked all the king’s secrets to the enemy Israel.

• Elisha’s servant was so frightened. • Elisha calmed his fear and prayed God to open

his eyes to see. (6: 16-17) • God opened his eyes and he saw horses and

chariots of fire surrounding them!!

3. 2 Kings 6

Declare vision to see what you cannot see before…God wants to open our eyes to see!!

C. Dalet ‘4’

• Also means door, pathway, enter....

Challenge

will you choose to come out of places of confinement or retreat into the tent of isolation?

Come outRetreat

• Perhaps you are like Abram in Gen 15 who lamented ‘You have given me no children so a servant in my household will be my heir’...

• Abram was frustrated and directionless.....• In response God took him outside of his tent to

view the stars in the sky:

Genesis 15:5 / 創 世 記 15:5

5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”5 於 是 領 他 走 到 外 邊 ， 說 ： 你 向 天 觀 看 ， 數 算 眾 星 ， 能 數 得 過 來 麼 ？ 又 對 他 說 ： 你 的 後 裔 將 要 如 此 。

Application

• God is beckoning you out of your tent to perceive possibilities...

• Come out of the tent of fruitlessness and frustration.

• Re-envision God’s promises given to you.

D. Dalet – bow low to clear the low-hanging door

BURDEN

To come out of limitation and confinement, dalet requires us to HUMBLE ourselves...selflessness, humility, lowliness, sacrifice

When bowing, one has to view our feet, hands, arms and body:

1. Feet (your journey)How has your journey been so far? Reflect the blessings, ups and downs, yr assignments from heaven.....

2. Hands (accomplishments)

Successful arenas? What gives you great fulfilment? What are you doing? Are you in the right place?

3. Arms (your strengths)

• what are your skills, spiritual giftings? Callings?• Are you using your strengths? • What about your weaknesses? How to

strengthen so that they become your strength?

4. Body – your health and wholenss

How are you :physically, spiritually, emotionally, socially?

• Denial keeps us from bowing humbly in honest assessment.

• Your destiny can only be as fully realized as you are whole and healed to move into your destiny....

• Dalet does not require you to be perfect but honest in your assessment of your life.

Come out of your tent of limitation and confinement in honest evaluation before self and the Lord!

D. Doors will open this year!! We need to shift!!

What to expect as you come out of your tent door?

Lord, what next?

1. Expect Confirmation- The Lord appeared to Abraham as 3 visitors to

deliver this word.

Genesis 18:10 / 創 世 記 18:1010 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”10 三 人 中 有 一 位 說 ： 到 明 年 這 時 候 ， 我 必 要 回 到 你 這 裡 ； 你 的 妻 子 撒 拉 必 生 一 個 兒 子 。 撒 拉 在 那 人 後 邊 的 帳 棚 門 口 也 聽 見 了 這 話 。

(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)

The once far-off promise was given a due date.

Things promised long ago will be given a confirmation in this coming year!!

2. Expect Commissioning

When Moses was about to depart, he commissioned Joshua to be his successor.

Deuteronomy 31:14-15 / 申 命 記 31:14-1514 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, the days approach when you must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of meeting, that I may inaugurate him.” So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tabernacle of meeting.14 耶 和 華 對 摩 西 說 ： 你 的 死 期 臨 近 了 ； 要 召 約 書 亞 來 ， 你 們 二 人 站 在 會 幕 裡 ， 我 好 囑 咐 他 。 於 是 摩 西 和 約 書 亞 去 站 在 會 幕 裡 。15 Now the LORD appeared at the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood above the door of the tabernacle.15 耶 和 華 在 會 幕 裡 雲 柱 中 顯 現 ， 雲 柱 停 在 會 幕 門 以 上 。

Expect successors to arise in the church, in business, in ministries....

God is the one who commissions......

Remember Jesus is our Door

John 10:9 / 約 翰 福 音 10:99 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.9 我 就 是 門 ； 凡 從 我 進 來 的 ， 必 然 得 救 ， 並 且 出 入 得 草 吃 。

He is the One who leads us into greener pastures... listen to the voice of your Shepherd and the door

of destiny will open up.....
