EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE!

I want to talk to you about the word EXPOSURE:

What is Exposure it is the act or condition of being exposed to something dangerous, cold, or harmful, or the harmful effect of something on your body. It also means the revealing of something private or secret, the revealing of a person's bad or immoral character, or the revealing of a person's secrets.

Things that have been hidden will continue to be revealed at a faster pace. Great deceptions will be exposed. There will be a desperate attempt to continue to cover-up corruption, lies, injustice, fraud, greed, and other evils but It will fail. Evil will overplay its hand. Light will shine into the darkest corners of corruption.  Secret documents and recordings will surface and a level of exposure will come that will shock all political factions.

National leaders will be disgraced and will be removed before their terms are finished. Anger will boil over among people and there will be protests on the streets and great civil unrest.  Trust in all institutions (banking, investing, schools, hospitals etc will be fractured).  And in the midst of this, evil leaders will arise from the sidelines who will gather people to themselves. Some will start out to appear to be noble and trustworthy; others will be demonically assigned to create chaos and advance the antichrist agenda. Discernment will be vital for our survival. The enemy will use the chaos to attempt to install more puppet leaders in government to continue their ruthless agenda to destroy the world.

Matthew 10:26 NKJV…Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 

Peace and Blessings,

CA L.R.Gooden Jr.

DO NOT BE MOVED BY THE DISRUPTIONS!

I want to talk to you about the word DISRUPTION:

We are living in a time of disruption. Crisis after crisis has been coming upon the earth as the shaking, shifting, and sifting continues (and even intensifies) for the foreseeable future.

The spiritual and geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting and colliding in every region of the earth and sphere of society. The epicenters of power are being redefined. There is a great displacement taking place. As new alliances are formed between different countries, some previously ‘emerging’ nations will rise to great prominence as others that were at the forefront of power will see their dominance  significantly decline for the last shall be first and the first shall be last.

This global realignment in 2024 will bring war, violence, material conflict, economic sanctions, uprisings, strikes, attempted murders and even political assassinations.  We will also experience an unprecedented rise in natural disasters and other unusual crises, including contamination of food/water and unusual diseases that make COVID-19 look like nothing.

We must continue to watch the Middle East because it’s very volatile, especially with what happens in Israel as the war with hamas palestinians continue to rack up insurmountable deaths that will cause world leaders to pressure Israel into a cease fire.  Long-standing allies will turn their back on Zion. But God will defend His people.  There will be much fear and anxiety as people simply won’t know where to turn. It may even appear as if the world is coming to an end…but we all know that time has not yet because the 3rd temple hasn’t even been built yet.

Matthew 24:7-8 NKJV…For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows. But know that for the Remnant GOD has opened a door of escape in 5784.

Peace and Blessings to you in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

                                                           1 JANUARY 2024!

From the desk of one of His faithful servants Chief Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr., as we embark upon the new year of 2024/5784 the Lord spoke to me that it will be a year of Open Doors for Revelation, Re-Alignment 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.

The Jewish Year 5784 began on Rosh Hashanah September 15th 2023 using the Hebrew Alphabet and Gematria system.

5 = Grace: (1000 years - Millennium)

7 = Completion, perfection: (100 years - Century)

8 = New beginnings: (10 years - Decade)

4 = Door, prophetic fulfillment: (1 year - Year)

Of all the prophetic numbers aligned with 5784, I feel led to focus primarily on the number 4. This Hebrew year, represented by 5784, holds tremendous significance for the number 4 and its corresponding letter Dalet. I believe this year will be a season of radical transformation, renewal and realignment, if we obey the Lord’s voice. We must be aware though that there will be a spiritual battle for the effectual door of promise to be opened. While the number 4 is called Dalet in Hebrew and it represents a picture of a tent door, or open door, I believe that the Lord is speaking to us even deeper about these spiritual doors.

The spiritual meaning of door is the entry point to a new space. Doors represent the transition from one place to another. They are also symbolic of change, especially when they are closed or locked. When a door opens, it opens up possibilities to new experiences.  Doors can also be considered as exit points as well as entrances. The person who opens the door decides whether it will be an entrance or exit point.

Doors are also used to keep out unwanted visitors, but they can also be used as an invitation for others to come inside and enter into your life, mind and heart.  A door often represents the opening of new possibilities and challenges in the future.

2024/5784 is going to be a year of the voice of the Doorkeeper. Doors will begin to appear for many, with heavenly encounters and signs showing the way. Borders will open between new partnering nations/regions/houses. Beware of any vulnerability in defenses that may be exploited, so it is necessary to prepare your defenses before the new year.  It’s Time to chart a new path for prophetic fulfillment. 

In the Hebrew calendar, the number 8 symbolizes new beginnings, and the open door represents a gateway to God's blessings and breakthroughs. Just as the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry land, leaving behind their bondage and entering into freedom, this year will mark a significant transition for God's people. 

Additionally, the number 80 in Hebrew is represented by the letter "pey" (פ), which signifies a time of completion and fulfillment. Again, the number 4 in Hebrew is represented by the letter "dalet" (ד), which symbolizes a doorway or a path. It signifies stability, foundation, and the four corners of the earth. Therefore, as we step through the door of this new beginning, the number 4 reminds us to establish a solid foundation in our faith and embrace the divine path that lies ahead.

The open door signifies not only physical doors of opportunity but also spiritual portals unveiling fresh encounters with GOD. As we align our hearts with God's purposes, we will witness the fulfillment of His promises and experience a greater outpouring of His Spirit. It is a time to seek His face, listen intently to His voice, and step boldly through the doors that He opens before us.

Therefore we must stay in tune with what GOD is saying to His Church, and we know that Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing by the Word of GOD through His Prophets & Preachers. 

So Now Under a strong Anointing of the Holy Spirit I RELEASE TO YOU THE THEME AND SCRIPTURE FOR KBCMI FOR 5784/2024:

5784 The Year of the Open Door for Revelation, Realignment and Renewal for Prophetic Fulfillment!

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.

It’s time for the Remnant of GOD to put their complete trust in the WORD of GOD and receive everything that GOD has in store for us in the year of 5784/2024.

May the Lord continue to Bless you & keep you in Jesus Name.

Blessings,

Chief Apostle, L.R. Gooden Jr.

The valley of dry bones speaks of a group of people, an army, who were murdered in the valley, and whose bodies degenerated until they all became dry bones. In that same valley where they were murdered, God sent Ezekiel to prophesy, and the entire dry bones came back to life. In the same place where their blood was spilled and they were reduced to bones, the miracle of mass resurrection took place.

Church, hear me as I hear the Lord: in the same places where you went down, God will empower you to rise higher. In the same place where you encountered losses, you are about to witness a restoration of all that you lost, with compensation. The same things that made you cry are about to make you laugh; the same people that mocked you are about to celebrate you; the same people that rejected you are about to accept you.

In the same places where doors were shut at you, the doors are about to be opened to you. In the same places where your abilities and skills were disregarded, you will be called into the mountain of relevance and influence. The same things that hurt you badly will soon be reasons for you to be congratulated. The same opportunities that were beyond your reach will soon be within your reach. Your valley will witness a new celebration.

Go and announce to those who have seen your tears, shame, failures, setbacks, delays, denials, etc.: a new story is about to emerge, your status is about to change, the pains of the past will soon be replaced with joy and laughter, the negative labels will soon be replaced with positive testimonies; and in the same places where you had negative outcomes, get prepared for the positive results that God is about to shower you with.

You may be in the valley, but your story will change for good in that valley. You may be in the valley, but in that same place of reduction, your increase is imminent.

Blessings,

Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr.

Get Ready To Enter Your Wealthy Place!

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?” (Joshua 5: 13)

Our Focal Scripture speaks of the moments preceding the possession of Jericho by Joshua and the Israelites. Jericho was a wealthy city in bible times; it was a fenced city. It was a city filled with gold, silver and other precious metals. God Himself was at the forefront of giving a city to His people, and He didn’t give them a normal city; He gave them a wealthy city. He brought them to a place of wealth. He gave them a wealthy place.

My brethren, hear me as I hear the Lord: the gates of your wealthy place are open in 2023. You are moving from little, to many; you are moving from lack to abundance; you are moving from obscurity to undeniable visibility; you are moving from the place of having only what you need to the place of having more than you need; you are moving from not enough to more than enough; you have arrived at your large place; you are moving to your wealthy place.

Hear me as I hear the Lord: the gates of abundance are open to you; God is about to embarrass you with more than you could ever ask or think; God is about to grant you successes that is beyond your natural capacity; God is about to make you the envy of your contemporaries; God is about to grant you high favours that will cause you to be preferred and chosen; God is about to make you the best of the best.

The days of small things are over forever in your life; the days of being empty handed are over; the days of struggle and lack, are over. Henceforth, it shall be a tale of wealth and abundance. All things are working to take you into your high places. Heaven will orchestrate new processes that will work in your favour. The promises of God concerning you are coming to pass in this season. You are rising higher; you are rebranded with glory.

Get ready: your wealthy place is waiting for your entrance; your wealthy place is loaded with weighty blessings; your wealthy place is ready for your possession.

Blessings,

Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr.

Our Focal Scripture speaks of that moment when God said to Ezekiel: “…know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it”. God was not just going to speak on a matter. He spoke, and He did. He spoke, and He backed what He spoke with action. He spoke, and He caused what He said to become a reality. He spoke, and there was a commitment on His part to fulfill what He had spoken. It was a case of a spoken word that would be performed.

My brethren, hear me as I hear the Lord: every word that God has spoken concerning your life, He will perform it. God will fulfill every word He has spoken concerning you that's right. God will fulfill every promise He made to you. God will cause your prophecies to become reality. God is moving you from the place of promises to the place of fulfillment. God is causing His words concerning you to be fulfilled. God will arise to perform His word for your life.

God did not even say that His word will be fulfilled; He declared that He would perform it by Himself. God was going to take responsibility to make His promise become a reality. Hear me as I hear the Lord: God Himself will take responsibility to make His word become flesh in your life. God will arise and cause your crooked places to be made straight. God will arise and cause your impossibilities to become possible.

Men may speak but not perform; but when Jehovah is involved, whatever He has said will come to pass. When God is on your side, even the words He spoke that you have forgotten, will be remembered and fulfilled. If God be for you, the gates of hell will not prevail. If God be for you, every word and promise that you have held on to, will soon become your reality. Even if you think you don’t deserve it, mercy will speak on your behalf.

Get set: the season of your divine performance is here. As He has said it, He will do it.

Blessings,

Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr.

The Joshua generation was that generation that knew the promise of God, and were ready to fight until it became a reality. They were not afraid to fight for what God promised them. They were not scared to enforce the provision that heaven made for them. They understood that although God had made a promise, they needed to fight the battle to possess their possession. They were ready to wage war until they took their place.

My fellow brethren, arise and fight for your ‘Jericho’. Enforce the mandate of heaven upon your ‘Jericho’. If there be a word that God has spoken to you, keep declaring it until it becomes your reality. Keep warring with your prophecies until they are fulfilled. Keep confessing the word of the Lord concerning you until that word is made flesh and appears to all men. Don’t be too tired to arise and enforce the mandate of heaven against your roadblocks/opposers.

Don’t leave your prophecy to lie fallow; feed and nurture it by proclaiming the word of the Lord concerning you. Don’t just sit back and wait for everything to fall into place; use your words, proclamations and prayers to cause everything to fall into place. Wage war against the forces opposing your new season. Tear down the altars of hell that have been erected to stop your advancement. Prayerfully dislodge the roadblocks against your rising.

Jericho was not vacant when Joshua and his generation went to possess it. There were inhabitants already in Jericho. Some people were occupying the land that God promised to give them. There just might be people who are already occupying the ‘land’ that God has promised you; some people may be contesting for the same next level that God has promised you, and you need to wage war in prayers to gain your ‘place’.

Joshua fought for the land of Jericho, and he possessed Jericho. God says, as you fight the battles for your new season through prayers and prophetic confessions of God’s word, you will possess your portion.

Blessings,

Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr.

It is instructive to observe that the soldiers whom Peter was chained to, were still in the prison when the angel of the Lord took Peter out of the prison. The men who were positioned to keep Peter at a spot were still there and Peter broke out and pass through the gate and into the city. They were positioned to stop him, and they didn’t even need to leave before Peter could escape. They were still at the duty post, and God broke Peter out of prison.

My fellow brethren, hear me as I hear the Lord: the people who were positioned to keep you at the same spot will still be there and you will break out of their confinement. The haters who insist you must not rise will still be there and you will rise higher than they ever imagined. Your adversaries will still be there and you will hit your target. Those that said you will not amount to nothing will still be watching as you become greatness personified.

The keepers of the prison and the soldiers therein would have imagined that no one could walk away from the prison without their consent, but they woke up to see that Peter was gone, without needing their help. They imagined it would be at their instance, but it happened without their help. Go and announce to those who imagine that you cannot move without them, that God will move you upwards and forward without them.

Are there demonic gatekeepers that say you will not rise until they are prepared? God is about to embarrass them with your rising. They will still be holding the chains down and you will rise out of their chains. They will still be boasting of how they kept you down and you will rise and break out of their midst. They will still be insisting that your destiny is in their hands and you will never move forward. They will still be at the gate and you will pass them.

Stop losing sleep on account of the demonic gatekeepers that say you will not rise except they are ready to let you rise. If God be for you, you will rise above them and rise above their influence. They will still be at the gate and you will pass through the gate in 2023.

Blessings,

Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr.

When the young man that was dead came back to life, he began to speak. The moment he came back to life, he made use of his mouth to speak. That young man did not keep silent when life came back to him. In fact, it seemed that the evidence of the life in him were the words he spoke immediately he came back to life. He came back to life and he spoke. He came back to life and he used his (PEY) mouth to make proclamations.

My fellow brethren, to be alive is to speak life. We belong to a speaking kingdom. Speak life to everything around you. speak life to your tomorrow. Speak life to your today. Speak life to everything around you that is dead. Speak life to that marriage that wants to collapse. Speak life to that health that has deteriorated. Speak life to that business that is not yet yielding. Speak life to that helper that has forgotten you. Keep speaking life into being.

You were made in the image of a God who used His words to form the world. Use your words to create your own world. Use your words to create the future you desire. Use your words to call forth the help you need. Use your words to open the doors and gates that are shut at you. Use your words to frame the outcomes you desire. Use your words to activate the prophecies that have gone ahead of you. Use your words positively.

If you fail to speak life, you will become a victim of those who speak death. If you fail to speak life, other men will make satanic proclamations that will rule over your destiny against your wishes. If you fail to speak life, you will come under the control of those who are intentional to control their world with their words. The mere fact that you are saying nothing does not mean that others are also saying nothing.

It is an error to be in a speaking kingdom and be silent. No matter what happens, don’t lose your voice. Use your words to change your situations.

Blessings,

Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr.

Ignore Your Haters in 2023!

It is instructive to observe that when Joseph declared his dream to his brothers, they hated him; and when he had yet another dream, they hated him even more. His dream provoked hatred from his brothers. His dream made people who should love him to start hating him. His dream was an indication of who he was going to become in the future. So some people saw a picture of his future and their response was hatred.

Brethren, as God unfolds your greatness and causes you to have a mandate that is greater than what you have previously had, don’t be surprised that men that once loved you will begin to hate you. Don’t be surprised when friends become enemies as a result of your greatness. Don’t be surprised when the greatness that has not even fully manifested begins to unsettle the people around you. Don’t be shocked at hatred provoked by your results.

Notice that the people who hated Joseph for his dream, were brothers. They were not strangers. They were not people coming from a huge distance. They were people with whom he shared some commonality. They were people who should have been his supporters. Don’t let it break you when the people you imagined should be your supporters, turn out to be haters. Don’t be surprised when brothers turn haters because of your greatness.

Notice also that Joseph did not start hating his brothers simply because they hated him. He didn’t join them to go low in hatred. He didn’t become bitter like them. Don’t let the hatred of your haters turn you into a hater. Don’t let the misbehavior of those who feel threatened by your dream, make you feel threatened by other people’s dream. Don’t allow yourself to be influenced negatively by the hatred of your haters.

If you will be great, and remain great, then get used to the fact that not everyone will like you. If the brothers of Joseph would hate him, then who are you not to be hated for being great?

Blessings,

Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr.
