2008 - The WORD of the Lord is "GATES."

A word for 2008 The Lord would say....

"2008 will be the beginning of opening and closing gates. Gates that have
been locked for centuries will now be opened. Gates that have been opened for
centuries, will now be shut. Gates (that represent entrances into peoples
hearts) that have been closed for generations to the kingdom of God which may be entire families will suddenly be opened.

Gates of wealth to enlarge My kingdom that have been withheld for years
will now be opened. Gates of ministry will be opened that in the past kept you
out. So many gates for so many things. Gates in the heavenlies are being opened
because it is absolutely the right time for them to open. Gates, gates, gates,
opening says the Lord. You just watch and see.

Even as I will be opening gates(entrances) in 2008, I will also be closing
gates(entrances) that need to be closed. For some, these gates need to be closed
in order for you to proceed and progress to the new gate I have in store for you
to go through."

This is just some of what will be happening beginning in 2008. God is speaking to many others as well. Let's hear what God is saying to His people for this year in scripture:

Genesis 22:17-"blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply
your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the
seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.

Genesis 28:17- And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This
is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"

Psalms 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will go through
them, and I will praise the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, through which
the righteous shall enter.

Isaiah 62:10 Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the
people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner
for the peoples!

Jererimiah 7:2 Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there
this word, and say, 'Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who enter in at
these gates to worship the Lord!"

Isaiah 26:2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation(peoples) which keeps
the truth may enter in.

Matthew 16:18- "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock
I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against
it."

God's word is full of scriptures referring to gates. Take time and read these scriptures as the Lord reveals them to you in His word. God bless each of you and may you go through the new gates this year that the Lord is opening to you and may you properly exit the ones that He is closing for you.
