• 5 – Grace
• 77 – The Church or House of God
• 9 – Fruit bearing or Judgment

2019 ON THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR

THREE MAIN THEMES FOR 2019/5779

• GOLD: Supernatural Presence & Financial Breakthrough
• FAITH: A new grace for hearing and believing God for things much, much bigger than you
• FRUIT BEARING: The year your miraculous baby is born

GOLD – 79 – atomic number of gold

• GOLD IN THE NATURAL MEANS “WEALTH” or “FINANCES” (grandeur and prosperity)
• GOLD IN THE KINGDOM MEANS “THE MANIFEST PRESENCE OF GOD, HIS MAJESTY AND HIS KINGDOM COME”
• Which is it? The year of natural or supernatural gold? Good news – it’s on both calendars:
• 19 is the gematria of the word GOLD
  • 5779 (Hebrew calendar) 2019 (Gregorian calendar)
  • This means it’s both natural and supernatural

“A GOLDEN YEAR”

1) THIS IS THE YEAR OF GOD GRANTING THE POWER TO GAIN WEALTH AND OVERCOMING POVERTY

• Deuteronomy 8:18 – “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”
• Golden age of Hollywood  means the glamorous age of holly wood (witches wand) because of the enormous amounts of money they spent on making it tinsel town. (Tin = dross, waste, worthless)

2) THIS IS A YEAR OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY

• Golden years is a term that speaks of maturity – 65-85
  • 1 Corinthians 14:20 – Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
  • 1 Corinthians 13:11 – When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
  • Ephesians 4:14-15 – So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
  • Hebrews 5:12-13 – For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.
  • 2 Peter 3:18 – But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
  • Hebrews 6:1-3 – Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits.

Gold is 50 – Jubilee

3) THIS IS THE YEAR OF GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES AND KEYS OF ACESS

• Isaiah 22:22 – “The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut. And he shall shut, and no one shall open.”
• God said He is going to give His people keys that will unlock unusual, unexpected, unprecedented and unhinged opportunities.

• A year of knocking (using your favor)
• A year of hearing Jesus knock (faith)

4) THIS IS THE YEAR OF DOING THINGS THAT MATTER – ENDURING WORKS

• 1 Corinthians 3:12-14 – “Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare is, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.”

* Be purposed in your heart to be on the right team.

• Put away childish things
• Be connected and activated in the things that God has assigned you to

5) THIS IS THE YEAR OF TREATING PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED 

• Luke 10:25-28 – And one day an authority on the law stood up to put Jesus to the test. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?” 26 What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you understand it?” 27 He answered, ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength and with all your mind.’(Deuteronomy 6:5) And, ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ” 28” You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do that, and you will live.”

6) THIS IS THE YEAR OF BEING CROWNED

AND REWARDED

• THE LORD WILL BLESS YOUR PURSUIT AND PUT A CROWN ON YOUR HEAD.
• Psalms 21:1-3 – The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! You have given him his heart’s desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. You have proffered him blessings of good things, you have set upon his head a crown of fine gold – Psalms 21:1-3

* Be determined to overcome

* Be determined to finish things and complete them with excellence

7) THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE MAJESTY OF THE KING IN YOUR LIFE – HIS KINGDOM COME 

* Gold is majesty

* Gold is manifest presence

* Gold is His divine nature

* Gold is his Kingdom come and His heart fulfilled in our lives!

* Gold is jubilee!

79 IN SCRIPTURE

• The word “power” is used 79 times in New Testament
• The word “curse” is used 79 times in Old Testament
• THIS IS THE GOLDEN YEAR THAT GOD GIVES YOU POWER OVER THE CURSE!

79 IN HEBREW LANGUAGE

Hebrew symbols contain within them pictures and symbols to help us understand what God is saying.

• 70 – AYIN – EYE OR SEEING WHAT GOD IS SAYING
• 5779 is the last year – a culmination or fullness – of a decade “seeing” what God is saying.
• 5780 will be marked with a “Pey” or mouth. It will be a decade of speaking and declaring the Kingdom into the earth.
• 9 – TALET – SYMBOL OF SNAKE

• This is the year of overcoming the snake – crushing him under your heel.
• Remember, the curse was brought on by the snake. DO NOT TALK TO SNAKES!!
• THIS IS THE YEAR TO IDENTIFY (SEE) THE SNAKE AND REMOVE COMPETING VOICES  OF INTERFERENCE

79th VERSE IN THE BIBLE:

• God puts Adam to work outside the garden BECAUSE OF THE CURSE
• Genesis 3:23 – Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
• THIS IS A HUGE YEAR OF DEALING WITH SNAKES – LIES, OPEN WOUNDS, TOXIC SITUATIONS, DEMONIC INFLUENCE AND COMPETING VOICES THAT TALK US OUT OF OUR FAITH AND IDENTITY.

8) THE VOICE OF GOD IS GOLDEN TO YOU THIS YEAR.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION AND IDENTITY ARE LIKE GOLD.

• Proverbs 25:11-12 – A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver. Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.

*FAITH COMETH BY HEARING

• Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
• Genesis 3:8 – They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
• Genesis 3:10 – He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” 
  • GOD SAID, “WHO TOLD YOU YOU WERE NAKED?”

5779 verse in Bible

• Deuteronomy 32:20 – And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very forward generation, children in whom there is no faith.
• DON’T MISS YOUR GOLDEN YEAR.
• DEAL WITH THE SANKES IN YOUR GARDEN THIS YEAR.
• HEAR THE VOICE OF THE LORD AND HAVE A TREMENDOUS VALUE FOR HIS VOICE AND HIS COUNSEL.
• INCREASE AND MATURE IN YOUR FAITH IN THIS SHORT SEASON!
• THE CONVERGENCE BETWEEN THE HEBREW AND THE GREGORIAN CALENDARS IS EXTRAORDINARY BECAUSE IT IS THE 19TH YEAR OF THE 21ST CENTURY AND 19 REPRESENTS UNUSUAL FAITH.

2019 ON THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR

20 – EXPECTANCY

19 – FAITH

• THE YEAR OF EXTRAORDINARY AND UNUSUAL FAITH
• THERE ARE 19 PEOPLE LISTED IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 11 HALL OF FAME OF FAITH
• The number nineteen and prophecy:
  • The Israelite tribe of Naphtali received 19 cities, with their villages, as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Joshua 19:38). Their gift of land, from God, was in the northern most part of what would become Israel. It encompassed the entire western section of the Sea of Galilee. 
  • Isaiah prophesied that the land of Naphtali and Zebulon would someday see a shining beacon in their lands (Isaiah 9:1 – 2). This prophecy, which only the book of Matthew records as being fulfilled, came true during the life of Jesus. Matthew states, “The people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light; and to those who were sitting in the realm and shadow of death, light has sprung up.” (Matthew 4:16, HBFV)
• EXTRAORDINARY FAITH AND THE MINISTRY OF JESUS:
• NOBODY HAD EVER SEEN FAITH LIKE JESUS HAD. THIS IS THE YEAR GOD WANTS TO SEE THAT IN YOU!
• THIS NEW KIND OF FAITH CAN ONLY COME FROM A NEW WAY OF HEARING GOD SPEAK.  THIS IS WHY WE KILL THE SNAKES IN OUR LIVES THIS YEAR AND RETURN OUR HEARTS TO THE VOICE OF GOD.

2019th verse in Bible

• Exodus 18:19 – Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward that thou mayest bring the causes unto God…
• THE 9TH YEAR IN HEBREW IS ABOUT OVERCOMING CURSES AND DEALING WITH SNAKES.
• THE 9TH YEAR ON THE GREGORIAN IS ABOUT SUPERNATURAL DELIVERANCE, GIVING BIRTH AND FRUIT BEARING.
• 9 IS FRUIT BEARING – This is the year your deliverance happens!

DELIVERANCE

The Bible lists nine kinds of deliverance

1. From danger – 1Samuel 17:37 (See also Lk 8:23-24; 2Co 1:9-10; 2Ti 4:17)
2. From illness – Psalms 103:3; Isa 38:16
3. From trouble – Psalms 34:17,19; Ps 54:7
4. From enemies – Jeremiah 38:10-13 (Da 6:19-22; Lk 1:74; 2Th 3:2)
5. From Satan – Luke 13:16 (Lk 22:31-32)
6. From the fear of death – Hebrews 2:14-15
7. From all fears – Psalms 34:4 (Rev 1:17)
8. From sin – Galatians 1:4 (See also Ps 32:7; 2Th 2:13; Rev 1:5)
9. From the coming wrath – Luke 3:7 (1Th 1:10; 1Th 5:9)

Deliverance is also a word for giving birth to something.

• It takes 9 months to have a baby.
• What has been barren will actually give birth in the year 2019.
• Where there has been no fruit, there will now be great fruit in 2019.

Audience Notes, Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019

Pastor Troy Brewer

New Beginnings Conference Night 3 – Faith

FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD – Romans 10:17

The more you increase in the word, the more your potential to  increase in hearing. The more you increase in hearing, the more potential you have for greater faith.

GOD IS SPEAKING TO YOU, RIGHT NOW, A WORD THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

It is a word in direct contrast to what the world is saying and we must develop a huge value for the voice of God.

A HIGHER VALUE HIS VOICE

Premise: Logic, a proposition supporting or helping to support a conclusion.

PREMISE 1 – GOD IS SPEAKING CLEARLY TO ALL OF US RIGHT NOW.

Every Christian can and must hear God speak prophetically.

PREMISE 2  – WITHIN EVERY WORD GOD GIVES TO HIS CHURCH CORPORATELY, THERE IS A  WORD FOR YOU INDIVIDUALLY.

The word of God is singular and plural at the same exact time.

Within every word that everybody has access to, coded within the DNA of that word, is AN INDIVIDUAL WORD SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU.

• Or another example of plural/singular combination that doesn’t even use a pronoun is Matthew 5.8: Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
• “the pure in heart” is both a singular and a plural noun and doesn’t even have a pronoun before it.
• That’s not just how scripture works. That’s how the Word of God works.
• With every corporate word there is something individually tailored for you, and when you receive it that word comes with a brand new power for break through. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church founded upon this rock.
• For every personally tailored word that comes to you, when you give your testimony and preach your word to the masses, it will affect people differently at different levels. 

What did God speak to the seven churches in revelation?

What is God speaking to the church of America?

What did God speak to the world through the events of 9:11 or the Titanic?

What did God speak through the violent death of Princess Diana or the Steve Harvey debacle and the consequent Academy Awards?

God loves it when people become fanatics about hearing him and going after his heart.

Psalms 84:5 – Blessed is the man whose … heart is set on pilgrimage.

Luke 6:38 – “For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Matthew 5:6 – Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

PREMISE 3 – GOD IS NOT LIMITED TO THE VOICES THAT CARRY HIS WORD OR THE MEANS OF DELIVERY FOR HIS WORD.

God is not limited in any way whatsoever to any one form of delivery.

Thirteen ways God might be speaking to you now: 

1. Through circumstances & timing     
2. Through thoughts
3. Counsel
4. Cultural events
5. Peace                              
6. Supernatural manifestations
7. People    
8. The Bible
9. Dreams & visions                
10. A whisper
11. Numbers
12. The weights and measure of things
13. Physics and science

GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS:

• The first Sunday of January there were 1919 people here.
• The second Sunday there were 1919 people here.
• The first night of the conference, the digits in the massive offering we took up were $43,249 add that and it is 19.
• There were 818 people. That’s Deuteronomy 8:18 – God gives wealth and He is the keeper of covenants through our generations.

AND IN ORDER TO GET INTO DREAM INTERPRETATION WERE GOING TO HAVE TO GET INTO DISCERNING THE WORD OF GOD THROUGH MULTIPLE WATERS OF VOICES THAT CARRY THE WORD 

IF THAT WERE A DREAM, WHAT WOULD IT MEAN?

IN ORDER TO GET INTO THAT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT THE HEAVENLY LANGUAGE OF SYMBOLS AND PARABLES.

AND IN ORDER TO LOOK IN THE SYMBOLS AND PARABLES, WE FIRST HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW GOD SPEAKS, AND WHY WE NEED TO DEDICATE OUR LIVES TO PURSUING HIS WORD AND GOING AFTER HIS HEART.

PREMISE 1  – GOD IS SPEAKING CLEARLY TO ALL OF US RIGHT NOW.

Every Christian can and must hear God personally speak to them. 

EVERYTHING ABOUT PROPHECY IS OFFENSIVE. 

Matthew 16:17-18 – Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

IT’S BEDROCK CHRISTIANITY.

One of the things that I can’t waste time about is the issue of if God is speaking or not.

God is speaking and its not the ceiling. It’s the floor. It is not the advanced part of walking with God. It is, in fact, a very FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE 

Hebrews 6:1 – [The Peril of Not Progressing] Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God…

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3

Amos 3:7 –Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Numbers 11:29 – …would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets…

1 Corinthians 14:1, 31 & 39 – Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy… 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 39  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy…

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

Mark 4:24 – And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.”

But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke 11:28

John 10:27 – My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Matthew 16:17

Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

The power to possess breakthrough comes from hearing the word of God.

The church whose foundation is built upon personal revelation of Jesus Christ by the mouth of God Himself is the church with breakthrough power.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the father.

YOUR ABILITY TO GET PAST THE ENEMY’S BARRIERS (the gates of hell)  IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO YOUR ABILITY TO HEAR GOD SPEAK. 

…and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

THAT DOESN’T JUST MEAN THE CHURCH IS INVADING HELL. It means Heaven is invading earth.

Hearing God speak and obeying what God is telling you gives you authority to bust through things.

Heaven really invades earth when we hear God speak and obey His voice.

I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE MISUNDERSTOOD AREAS THAT MUST BE CONFRONTED AND FIVE AREAS WE NEED TO HAVE WISDOM IN – THE FIVE OFFENSES OF HEARING GOD SPEAK:

1. JUST BECAUSE GOD IS SPEAKING DOES NOT MEAN YOU KNOW IT.

Job 33:14  – For God speaks once, yet twice, yet man perceives it not.

IF YOU HEARD GOD SPEAK DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD KNOW IT?

Psalms 18:13  – The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah experienced an incredible wind, a violent earth quake and a horrific fire but he didn’t get scared until he heard the still, small voice.

God does speak in a whisper, but the conditions to hearing the still small voice is that you have to get still and you have to get small.

WE ARE JUST TOO BUSY AND TOO LOUD TO HEAR WHAT GOD IS  LITERALLY  BROADCASTING TO THE WHOLE WORLD.

Spiritual truths may be conveyed in everyday terms with which all are familiar.

In John chapter 12 …..SOME SAID IT THUNDERED

2. JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU UNDERSTAND IT.

Proverbs 25:2– It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

Psalms 78:2 – I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

TERRIBLE PARABLES

THERE IS A BLESSING IN GETTING IT AND IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO SEEK JESUS, HE IS NOT Willing TO LET YOU IN ON THE BLESSING.

THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND PARABLES

Romans 1:20 – For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse…

REBELLION IS THE REASON GOD SPEAKS IN TYPES AND SHADOWS AND TYPOLOGY AND SYMBOLS

Take a good look at Matthew 13:13 and see why the Lord had to speak in parables then and why He still does today.

Matthew 13:13 – Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Matthew 13:13 (International Children’s Bible) – This is why I use stories to teach the people: They see, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really understand.

The word goes out to everybody, but the word is not for everybody.

DID YOU CATCH IT THAT ITS 13:13? THAT’S THE NUMBER FOR REBELLION.

• The word rebel is found in 13 verses throughout the Bible.
• Judas Iscariot has 13 letters
  There are 13 lepers in the Bible There are 13 drunks in the Bible The word carnal appears 13 times The word treason appears 13 times The word dragon appears 13 times
• If you really want to see rebellion illustrated Biblically through the number 13, you need look no further than the 13 words in the 13th verse of the 13th Chapter of the very first book in the Bible.

Genesis 13:13 – But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

REBELLION IS WHEN YOU DEMAND THE BENEFITS OF THE KINGDOM WITHOUT THE KING

YOU LOVE THE THINGS THAT GOD OFFERS BUT YOU REFUSE TO LOVE GOD

REBELLION IS WHEN YOU SELF IDENTIFY INSTEAD OF CONFORM YOUR LIFE TO GODS TRUE IDENTITY OF WHO YOU ARE.

IT’S BECAUSE OF THAT GOD USES PARABLES, SYMBOLS, TYPES, SHADOWS, PICTURES, ALLEGORIES AND PROPHETIC PIECES THAT MUST BE CHARTED OUT ONE PIECE AT A TIME….

Allow God to speak in what ever arena He chooses.

We need to be able to recognize THE VOICE OF JESUS IN EVERYDAY LIFE   

Psalms 29:3 – The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters.

• JOHN 12:28 GOD SPEAKS IN A THUNDER
• God is not limited as to how he can speak, sometimes God whispers sometimes his whisper is at the volume of a thunder
• We need to be willing and ready to hear speak through anything and ANYONE. This is a skillset.

Everything of faith is developmental.

Everything of faith is about maturing, stewarding and skill sets.

Shocking as this may be to some – just because we receive the Lord does NOT mean that: 
  • We automatically become a mature Christian
  • We are automatically skilled in the Word of Righteousness

Hebrews 5:13-14 – “For every one that uses milk is UNSKILLFUL in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe “… but strong meat belongs to them that are of a full age (mature), those who by PRACTICE (reason of use) have trained (exercised) their senses to be able to judge (discern) what is God (good) and what is not (evil).

Someone who is skillful  in discerning God’s word can tell the difference between the good word of God and the evil hurricane that the word of God is hidden in

Mark 4:24 –  And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.”

Pay attention to what you hear. If you are willing to hear in five languages, God will speak to you in five languages.

3. JUST BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND

IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

4. JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE.

5. JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE DOESN’T MEAN IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY HAPPEN. 

You are either partnering with the Holy Spirit or grieving the Holy Spirit
