5785 THE YEAR OF DOUBLE GRACE & OPEN WINDOWS FOR DIVINE EXPANSION AND PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT!
Greeting, As we have stepped into a new Hebrew Year of 5785 as well as 2025 on the Georgian calendar, we are stepping into a window of time and opportunity. What does an opportunity mean? An opportunity is an appointed or favorable time to advance forward. In 5784, the Lord showed me that we were in a Revelation 3:8 NKJV season for the Year of the Open Door for Revelation, Realignment and Renewal for Prophetic Fulfillment! According to Revelation 3:8 NKJV… “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
In some ways we are still in that season as we continue to progress from the door to the window. The Lord has been issuing this clarion call to His Church to come up higher. In this place of ascension, there is a new vantage point and, new levels of revelation. As we’ve come through the door and now look through the windows (opportunities). GOD desires to enlarge our vision and break every limitation so we can see clearer. The Lord longs to show us the things to come so we can be prepared and ready to receive them. The verse the Lord gave me for 5785 is Psalms 18:19 KJV… He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. The Theme He gave me for KBCMI is…5785 THE YEAR OF OPEN WINDOWS WITH DOUBLE GRACE FOR DIVINE EXPANSION AND PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT!
In this new Hebrew year 5785, the double fives in this year carry a special emphasis on multiplied grace or the empowerment of GOD. When you put the fives next to each other you get twenty-five, you get the Hebrew word Hen which means to behold. When you think of a window, it’s a prophetic representation of vision. I believe the Lord is increasing our vision, especially in His seers and prophets. As we behold the Lord, He will show us the things to come to declare bold. We must not forget that we are in the decade of the mouth. There is a greater grace and empowerment on the words we speak and declare. This is why since 2020, there often has been a “war of words” concerning many different situations on a personal, national, and international level. It’s important to be mindful and intentional of the words we speak. Not only will we see things to declare but, there will also be situations to behold that will shock us and grip us. There are things coming that we never thought possible. The word unprecedented will become normal to hear it so anchor yourself in the Lord for 5785.
Another insight concerning the five or the Hebrew letter Hei (hey), is that there is an appointed time and season for us to put our hands to the things of GOD, what He has spoken over is. This is not a time to sit back in fear, we must move boldly and confidently. The righteous are as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1). It’s time to partner with the word of the Lord, activate it and, see it manifest. This season is one of Double Grace - It Begins with grace and ends with grace.
Right now we’re in a season where the Lord is watching what we do with what we have been given. In Matthew 25, Jesus talks about the parable of the talents. In this parable, a man was leaving away on a trip for some time. He decided to gather his three servants and distribute his money to them while he was gone to tend to it. To one he gave five talents, another man he gave two, and the last servant he gave one talent. The servants with five and two talents went out and invested their talents and were able to multiply and double what they had. The servant who had one talent went and buried it in the ground out of fear.
When the man came back from his trip he accessed what the servants had done with the talents. He was happy to see the servants with five and two multiplied what they had been given. He blessed them and promoted them saying, His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord. Matthew 25:21 NKJV
When the servant with one talent told the man that he had buried for fear of losing it, the man was so furious that he gave his talent to another and banished him away. We’re in a time of promotion and demotion. The Lord is weighing his leaders and his people, to see what they have done with what they’ve been given. He’s measuring and judging our faithfulness and stewardship. We should always be increasing and multiplying because, it’s the nature of GOD. You can’t stay small when you’re connected to GOD Isaiah 60:22 NKJV…A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.
Lastly, I want to share some insight for Genesis 8. In Matthew 24:37-39 NKJV Jesus makes an interesting reference back to Noah’s time… 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
This is the way it will be when the Son of Man returns.” Jesus is saying here, what took place back in Noah’s day will take place as the day approaches of his coming. More and more we’re going to see a clear line and distinction between the righteous and unrighteousness. It will not be hard to tell the difference between the godly and ungodly.
One of the things that enabled Noah to be successful and caused him to get through the flood was, he was a righteous man and he was obedient to the voice of GOD. Can you imagine being the only one who was living right for GOD, when everyone around you was living like heathens. Noah continued to live right in the face of such unrighteousness and wickedness. Even though he looked crazy building a big boat and prophesied a rain was coming like never before, he never gave up on the assignment GOD had given him. He had unshakeable faith in GOD. We must be the same way in this time. May the voice of GOD be the loudest voice we hear and believe in this time.
In Genesis 8:1 NKJV it says, Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And GOD made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. “When you live righteously and stay obedient to GOD, He will never forget you. I want to encourage you today that GOD has not forgotten you or the promise spoken of for you but, that he has remembered you like he did Noah. As he remembered Noah GOD sent a wind to begin to shift and dry up the waters after a great time of testing. In Genesis 8:6 NKJV it says, So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. On day 41 it was the dawning of a new day.
In 5785, not only it is a window of opportunity but it’s also a new time and season for you. As Noah sent out the dove (Holy Spirit) a few times waiting for the go ahead, it eventually brought back a fresh olive leaf. As you enter into 5785, there’s new vision and fresh oil, for the new place GOD has brought you into. Just as he did for Noah, GOD is establishing new covenant and reminding you of His promises that has been established in the heavens. As Noah followed the instructions of the Lord, he stayed in obedience, and trusted where GOD would lead him and his family. This is what caused him to overcome and endure.
As the elections have passed in the United States the people have spoken and GOD has honored it. The election was simple and it came down to either voting for light or darkness. Light has prevailed… Glory to GOD so let us now be about our Father’s Kingdom business and take back everything the devil has previously stolen from us.
Blessings,
From the desk of Chief Apostle\Prophet L.R.Gooden Jr.

There is no doubt that we’re already living in our last days on the earth. The reason for saying this is because the Bible doesn’t only talk about these days but it also leaves us with some specific signs that we need to look out for.
One of these signs is what Paul spoke about in his letter to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:1 “You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be VERY DIFFICULT TIMES”.
The specific sign that is spoken about here that will dominate the last days is “VERY DIFFICULT TIMES”.
These “very difficult times” which characterize the last days are synonymous with “hardships”, and Paul went further to tell Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:3, the kind of attitude he was expected to put up in dealing with these hardships: “Therefore ENDURE hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”.
I want you to know that GOD doesn’t intend to frighten us by revealing such truths about the last days, but to equip us to be able to deal with the outcome of such days. Like Timothy, one of the attitudes He expects us to put up is ENDURE difficulties and not to run away from them, given that enormous difficulties will characterize these last days.
Difficulties come in different ways such as financial and material lack, insufficiencies, inadequacies, poverty, inability to have a good business, unable to send children to school, lack of shelter, and much more, which compel humans to live from the hand-to-mouth, crawl and end up as beggars. The closer we get to the end of the age the more rampant these vices will prevail over human lives, especially those who don’t know their GOD, or those who know Him but aren’t acting on that knowledge.
David was once in enormous hardships, yet he chose to speak the right words that attracted GOD in his situations. The Spirit-inspired words of David would go a long way to teach us how to endure difficulties or hardships. Like David, despite the difficulties everywhere, we must learn to stick with the infallible Word of GOD. Take a look at what David said in Psalm 37:25: “I have been young, and am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread”.
Speaking further about the righteous, David said, “Everyday he is generous, lending freely, and his descendants are blessed” (Psalms 37:26).
This is how you deal with difficulties or hardships – by declaring GOD’s Word again and again and again until what you are saying becomes a physical reality in your life and household. Hallelujah!
I don’t know what you’re going through or how you got into it, but you have the chance today to change things by speaking out the right words substantiated by the Holy Spirit.
Now, say this out loud:
“Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not lack any good thing. He leads me to pleasant places where the lines have fallen in my favour. Because the righteous have never been forsaken, as GOD’s righteousness in Christ Jesus, I refuse to be forsaken. I refuse to be stranded. I live and walk in over-abundance because GOD supplies all my needs daily according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Therefore, my offspring, will never beg for bread”.
But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven” Deuteronomy 11:11
Lately I have been asking GOD this one question for the Remanant who are boldly standing on the frontlines for JESUS “What’s next?”
I believe I heard in the spirit POSITIONING;
“My Remanant is being POSITIONED!”
Positioning means;
To put in place or position.
The right or appropriate place.
A strategic area occupied by members of a force.
The arrangement of body parts; posture: a standing position.
An advantageous place or location.
Interestingly, the origin of the word means three things; To leave, To build, and To settle.
GOD is moving his Remanant into their locked positions in the months to come as a warrior-army poised for victory and strategic, innovative exploits.
I sense a great reshuffling of roles and spiritual appointments and positions in the months to come where those who have been faithful to steward their previous post are being moved into a new capacity an enlargement.
I also sensed GOD is handing new keys to those who will be the breakers and key forces of impact in their cities and communities in this season.
I feel strongly that this positioning is because of the Remanant's POSTURE in the past months and years. So many have stayed in the secret place and stood even when they were at their breaking point.
Many have been sensing these new assignments coming for months as the grace on our old assignments has been lifted and passion and focus has been released upon GOD's Remanant in order to step into something new.
For many though, this assignment shift has not just been spiritual but physical as GOD has been preparing His Remanant to move from one temporary location to a place where they can finally settle.
This process has been quite traumatic for many who have been longing to plant their roots but now feel like they will always be wanderers moving from place to place but where GOD is leading His Remanant next will SETTLE us and establish us.
So many of the Remanant have felt disillusioned and lost in this season of Chaos asking “Wasn’t the last move the final move? Wasn’t the last faith step the final one?” No you were simply en route through the transitionary place to the place of establishment.
Zechariah 4:7 NKJV...7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”
For those facing new giants daily, new obstacles, new opposition, new resistance, new impossibilities, and immovable mountains I prophesy that you will also see the greatest miracles, turnarounds, and suddenlies more than any other season of your life.
GOD took you this far so why would he leave you now? Why would He watch you fall and fail now?
I prophesy that the GOD of breakthrough is going to smash through your giant of lack and cause you to thrive even in Chaos and regardless of what left you or turned against you. GOD is going to break through closed doors and padlocked gates, cut through red tape and override political bureaucratic processes to bring you what you need to move forward into the Promises of GOD. GOD is going to take that negative report and show you He is still the GOD of unusual, supernatural miracles, and the GOD that can shift the current flowing against you in a moment.
There are NO STOPS, NO ROADBLOCKS that can defy GOD or prevent Him from increasing you, launching you, and leading you into victory. In fact, GOD is going to unleash such favor in the very place of those mountains that people will say “that could only have been GOD!”.
Many are going to sign the papers to major dreams in the middle of this Chaos and see divine opportunities that were not even available before it. So today I dare you to shift what you see and begin to prophesy MIRACLES to your Mountains.

IT'S TIME TO COME OUT OF CHAOS AND COME INTO THE PROMISES OF GOD!
Ephesians 5:15-21 NKJV...15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.
IT'S TIME TO COME OUT OF CHAOS AND COME INTO THE PROMISES OF GOD!
I. BY REDEEMING THE TIME – Verse 16
“Redeeming” is a market term meaning “to buy out” or “purchase completely.” Time is a Greek word which means “opportunity.”
We need to move on out opportunities.
To study the Word – II Timothy 2:5.
To witness in Power - Acts 1:8.
To Prayer in the Spirit.
II. BY UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD – Verse 17
The primary consideration for a Christian should never be what is most profitable financially, what is most pleasurable, or what will bring the greatest personal advantage or honor.
Our first concern should be to discern what GOD wills us to be.
Will of Salvation.
Acts 9:6
Will of Surrender
Romans 12:1-2
Will of Separation
I Thessalonians 4:3
III. BY BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT – Verses 18-21
Verse 18 contains both a negative and a positive command.
The positive command, “Be filled with the Spirit.”
The Spirit is the element in which we are to be filled.
The results of the fullness: - Joyfulness -verse 19.
Do you really want to know what time it is? It is time that you are going to find a pearl in the field. It is time for the doors that have been closed to you to be opened so you can walk through! GOD is saying I am bringing you into a new time, a new place. The old is passed and it is time for a change! There are brighter days ahead for God's will to be done. GOD is saying I have a remnant of people who hear my voice clearly. They are beginning to move, they are going to release, and they will move mountains!”
“So do you want to know what time it is? It is time to move mountains! It is time to shift things out of our way! We are entering into a season of fire and Glory.
GOD said you have felt so out of place, but this is your time now. The Lord is putting together things you know not of. Things are advancing in your favor! GOD's Kingdom is coming to you in ways you have not even yet dreamed of! Listen clearly to GOD's voice as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Remember it is only a shadow seeking who it can devour, but it shall not touch you for you are walking through The Valley of the shadow of death.
Beloved “It is time! My job is to move the mountain. Your job is to speak to it, believe it, and walk through it knowing it is already done!”
“Do you know what time it is? It is the time of My Kingdom that cannot and will not be shaken!”
“Bless the Lord, O my soul … who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.” (Psalm 103:2,5)
The Bible speaks much about renewal. Abraham lived a full life and was rich in all things when he died at the ripe old age of 175. His wife Sarah was gorgeous in her older years and gave birth to her first child in her nineties. Caleb at age 85 was eager to fulfill prophetic destiny. Moses began to lead Israel through the wilderness in his eighties and in his older years his eyes did not grow dim. When we receive Christ we are filled with eternal life. This is God’s glorious life. You can have expectation to be renewed daily through the Word of God.
God wants your strength, vitality, and beauty to be rejuvenated regularly.
We do not need to buy into the lie that declares we will diminish in vitality and appearance as we age. We can always be fresh. As our days are, so shall our strength be! (Deuteronomy 33:25). We can always radiate the glory of the Lord. In fact, the Word reveals that, “The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former” (Haggai 2:9). You are blessed with rejuvenation in Christ. Eternal life – “God-life” – dwells within you. Rejoice and plan with expectation for a glorious future!
You can activate this truth in your life by Confessings Powerful Prayer Directives over your life daily. Look in the mirror and proclaim with confidence the beauty, energy, renewed favor, and brightness of mind and vision you carry in the Lord. Decree youthfulness with confidence and faith over the awesome person you see in the mirror (you!).
Prophetic Prayer Directives:
I am refreshed and rejuvenated in the Lord. I am invigorated and renewed.
Every living cell in my body is rejuvenated.
I am empowered by the Lord in my inner man and as a result I am full of vigor and vitality.
I receive age reversal – my youth is being renewed as the eagle.
I decree Christ in me is the hope of glory (bounty, splendor, majesty) for my body, soul, and spirit. I am filled with His glory.
I celebrate my salvation in Christ daily and as a result I am rejuvenated, refreshed and replenished.
As my days are so shall my strength be.
I am ever strengthened and rejuvenated from “glory to glory.”
I am blessed with eternal life activating daily in me.
I am renewed this day because the Holy Spirit is filling me with life and light.
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 2:16
Have you ever thought of how wonderful it would be to think just like God? I have good news for you – you can! When the Spirit of God dwells within you, you have the mind of Christ. It is given to you in your salvation package when you receive Christ. Very few, however, activate and utilize it, but every believer can.
How many times have you leaned on your own understanding for solutions to problems before going to the Lord for His divine answers? I believe we all fall short in this but we can change our ways and seek Him for insight, solutions, knowledge, wisdom, counsel and understanding whenever we are in need of these things. All these blessings are all available to us in the mind of Christ, all the time. We simply need to access His mind by faith.
Here are some keys to help you cultivate the activation of the mind of Christ that dwells within you.
Believe that you possess the mind of Christ within your new nature.
Nurture the mind of Christ within you by the renewing of your mind through the Word. Meditate on His Word and you will discern the will and ways of God.
When needing insights, solutions, knowledge, wisdom, counsel and understanding for situations in life, inquire of the Lord by humbling yourself before Him and requesting His response through prayer.
Spend time with the Lord listening for Him to share His heart with you and waiting on Him with expectation for His divine insights.
When you receive His insights, believe them and apply them.
Bible characters like Daniel and Joseph had “divine intelligence” operating in their lives. They knew God’s solutions for problems and as a result they affected their nation. Can you imagine what the world would be like if every Christian accessed the mind of Christ? I think the world would be a better place, don’t you?
Prayer Directives
Here are some powerful decrees to activate the Mind of Christ within you:
I decree that:
I have the mind of Christ residing in my inner man.
The mind of Christ lives big in me and is full of all the knowledge, wisdom, insights, understanding and solutions that I need.
I possess “divine intelligence.”
I do not lean unto my own understanding, but in all my ways I acknowledge God.
God’s ways are higher than my ways, therefore I humble myself before Him and receive His understanding.
Through the mind of Christ I can access the knowledge of witty inventions.
The mind of Christ reveals thing I need to now about the future.
The mind of Christ teaches me to make godly decisions daily.
The mind of Christ grants me good memory and recall.
Eight Decrees to Bring Healing and Alignment to Your Nation In 2022!
I declare that:
1. Every plot, ploy, attack, assignment, minion and manifestation of the enemy sent against my nation will be revealed and rendered null and void! (1 John 3:8, John 19:30, Isaiah 60:3, Luke 8:17)
2. My nation was made by God, belongs to God, will know God, and will serve God! (Psalm 24:1-2, John 1:3, Deuteronomy 20:23-24)
3. God is for my nation and with my nation. He is well able to heal the land and bring us fully back to Him! (2 Chronicles 7:14, Romans 5:8, Psalm 86:15, Zephaniah 3:17)
4. The church will arise in Truth and Love, awakening to our power as His dominion stewards in the land. We will take up our place of impact; ignited by God’s presence, power and personality! (Isaiah 60:1-3, Isaiah 61:1-4, Job 29:17)
5. May we receive an infusion of grace and faith to believe, receive, and see made manifest the full greatness of I AM in our lives … now! (Ephesians 1:17-19, 1 Thessalonians 5:24, Hebrews 13:20-21).
6. Jesus is King of my nation, enthroned on the praise, prayer and worship of His people to rule and reign in this land! (Psalm 47:6-8, Psalm 22:3)
7. The Lord will protect, provide for, empower and equip His men and women in government, media, schools, families, arts and entertainment, business, and the church! And He will stir and empower His people to pray for our leaders! (2 Peter 1:3, Philippians 2:13, Ephesians 1:3, James 13:20-21, 1 Timothy 2:1-3)
8. Light Be! Light Be! Light Be! In every sphere of influence in my nation let the Light, Love and Life of God break forth in great and mighty ways shattering the darkness, lies, chaos and confusion of the enemy! (Genesis 1:3-4, John 1:5)
God’s wind brings life. God’s wind often comes as breath to bring new life. The Living GOD has breathed His life into us (Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4) and calls us to release His lifegiving Spirit to others – even to cities and nations. Let the Lord breathe fresh life into every area that feels dead and lifeless. Call to His wind, like Ezekiel, to breathe into your “dry bones” that they might live (Ezekiel 37:1-14). Ask the Holy Spirit to breathe into stagnant desires, moving them into faith-filled promises. Let GOD breathe life into all that He wishes to resurrect and restore. He wants to breathe fresh life into your health, finances, relationships, and all your mountains of influence.
God’s wind brings momentum. Like a sailboat, you have capacity to harness the wind of the Spirit to move you into your accelerated destiny. When you are moving with and not against the wind, there is no striving. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you where He is leading in each situation of your life, so you can position yourself in Him and in the wind. As you rest in that place, you will be filled with fresh grace for supernatural ease and increase (Job 29:6, Matthew 11:28-30).
God’s wind brings hope. When Ezekiel saw the valley of dry bones, He was instructed to call forth the four winds to breathe life, because the house of Israel had lost hope (Ezekiel 37:11). The Lord explained that when His breath comes truth will be revealed, people will come out of their graves, and hope will arise, as they will be brought back into their promised land (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Ask for the Lord to do the impossible in your life and in your spheres of influence (Matthew 19:26). Let hope arise, as He shows Himself true. Receive your Hope of Glory (Colossians 1:27).
God’s wind bring refreshing. One of the beautiful things about the wind is the refreshing it brings when it blows. Let His refreshing wind blow over you and into each area of your life. Let the wind bring the rain to wash you free from your weariness (Psalm 68:9). He wants to refresh you with new waves of His love (Song of Solomon 2:5). Now Receive and be filled!
God’s wind brings redirection. When the wind blows, especially a strong wind, it brings natural change in the direction of that which is blown upon. It lifts up, sifts, reorders, and even turns around what is in its path. Ask the Holy Spirit to blow upon you to remove the dross. Let Him sweep away that which is in and around you that is not of GOD, (Isaiah 30:28, Hebrews 12:27). We can also ask His wind to blow upon nations and cities to remove the dross in the midst (Ezekiel 22:18-22).
God’s wind brings empowerment. The Spirit of Might is available to give you strength and power (Isaiah 11:2). As you wait upon Him, expect new strength and endurance. It is in this place that you will truly mount up with wings like eagles, soaring to new heights, where you will run and not grow weary and walk and not grow faint. Be strengthened with power (Ephesians 3:16), as you rise on the wind soaring into greater levels of His victory.
God’s wind brings His presence. As the winds blow, His cloud comes into view! God is in the cloud (Job 37:15-16, Job 22:14, Job 37:11, Numbers 16:42, Exodus 16:10). As you seek His glory and presence to come into your life and circumstances, know that His righteousness and justice will align everything into His ways (Psalm 97:2, Nahum 1:3, Isaiah 55:8). Ask for His glory to flood your life to bring Kingdom order. Behold His majesty and mystery, as new levels of awe and wonder fill your heart and mind. It is here, where God’s authority is established, that heaven will come to earth.
God’s wind brings faith. In situations of accelerated wind, whirlwinds and storms ensue. When the winds push against “the boat” it will force us into greater levels of faith to produce miracles. Like Peter, many will be called out into the impossible (Matthew 14:22-23). Pray for your situations of challenge to be turned into courageous times of activated faith, where you move out of the ordinary and into the supernatural ways of God. Ask for courage when the winds blow against you to trust in Him. God will work all things for good (Romans 8:28).
