Power of Ten

According to the bible, the number ten represents completeness of order. It implies that nothing is wanting; that the number and order are perfect; that the whole cycle is complete; that maturation has taken place. The most obvious biblical use of the number ten is the Ten Commandments however the Lord’s Prayer is also completed in ten clauses. Then there is the Tithe, the Ten Plagues, and the ten trials of Abraham’s faith, ten Virgins, the Ten Parables of the Kingdom in the Gospel of Matthew (Seven in chapter 13, and three in chapters 23 and 25). Then there are the ten “I AM’s of Jesus in John.

1. “I am the Bread of Life” (6:35).

2. “I am the Bread of Life which came down from heaven” (6:41).

3. “I am the Living Bread” (6:51).

4. “I am the Light of the world” (8:12).

5. “I am One that bear witness of Myself” (8:18).

6. “I am the Door of the sheep” (10:7,9).

7. “I am the Good Shepherd” (10:14).

8. “I am the Resurrection and the Life” (14:6).

9. “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (14:6).

10. “I am the True Vine” (15:1,5).

Power of 20

The number twenty is obviously double ten, which by definition signifies its concentrated meaning. However a greater importance is powerfully illustrated in the Old and New Testament in the form of twenty significant dreams.

20 Dreams

Why twenty? Well let’s take a closer look at the number 20. The number twenty has elements of the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 10.

The number two denotes difference as in the scripture if any two agree in testimony (bearing witness of Christ) it becomes conclusive; it also addresses a type of the First Man Adam who was marred especially when compared to the Second Man Christ Jesus who was without blemish.

The number four is the number of the Earth (East, West, North and South) and denotes creative works (more on this later).

The number five is the number of divine Grace. It is 4+1. It is God (1) adding His gifts and blessing to the works of His hands +(4).

The number 10 is five-doubled and as aforementioned is the completion of order. What does all this mean? It means that in the Year 20/10, the Spirit of the Lord is pouring out a double portion +(10) of Grace x(5) in order that whomever comes into agreement with His Word +(2)) will be divinely blessed through the fulfillment of their dreams +(20).

Creative Works throughout the Earth +(4)

This is the year of Creative Works +(4). Whatever God has placed in your heart and hands to do creatively will be successful provided it is launched in this year of double Grace x(5) for the fulfillment of dreams +(20).

  • If God has given you a vision of a business just think +(4), it is reason our President is putting banks in position to make SB Loans available.
  • If God has given you a dream for a non-profit just believe +(4).
  • If your dream is to go back to school and further your education +(4), again he has stirred up the nation’s capitol on your behalf.
  • If your first song or CD is going to get released this year you will need to see +(4). If your prayer is to lose 20, 40, 50, 60, 70, even a 100 pounds this year then declare +(10), then get busy walking, running, skating or skiing.
  • If your desire is to reverse diabetes or high blood pressure, even outpace cancer this year then <think> +(5) but Act +(10).

You should always think two… If any two agree on anything and ask in His name it shall be conclusive +(2). Act two but give the world +(20).
