Melissa, it’s nice to see another Melissa. It was great to come across your information. How did you begin your study? What tools did you use? I so desire a mighty move of God where I live, which is central Louisiana. So many don’t believe and are thirsty. It will only be with God’s people what circumstances will change. I hope to respond to your bloggers. I want to understand God’s numerology but I don’t know where to begin. I hope you can help. God bless you.

Melissa… thank you for stopping by Defining Words. There is so much to be discovered biblical numerology. Congratulations on not being deterred by the naysayers. God is purposeful about everything, including the use of numbers to convey messages.
Here is a great online resource to get you started. Light some flames in Louisiana, my friend. God is with you.

The Holy Spirit is alive and real for us today and He comes to us through an open heart. TRINITY Jesus said I go so the Helper can come and He will lead us to all truth just believe like a small child Gods Word says they will find Me when they search for me with their whole heart.Well He’s not lost and i realized that there was a lot more to Christianity than i was ever taught.

Dane,
You are exactly right. Our God is too small if He can fit inside the box of our minds. Time to break Him out of the prison of our thinking. It’s exciting to discover him in the fellowship of other believers like you.
God bless.

The number thirty, being 3 x 10, denotes in a higher degree the perfection of Divine order, as marking the right moment. CHRIST was Thirty years of age at the commencement of His ministry, Luke 3:23.
JOSEPH, His type, was the same age, Genesis 41:46.
DAVID also, when he began to reign, 2 Samuel 5:4.
Looks like it’s time to rule. Blessings and thanks for dropping by, Thomas

Melissa,
I will be 48 next year and God is asking me to start a new business/career next year. What is the meaning of 48 ?
Thanks

Thomas,
Immediately I think of 4 x 12. 4 is the number of creation or creativity. 12 is the number of government. Sounds as though the works of your hands and your ability to govern, rule and reign are coming into full maturity. The two graces will bring multiplication in your life.
Hope that helps.

Hello Melissa,
I just wanted to say God Bless You and thank you for allowing God to use you in writing the Defining Words blog. I especially enjoyed your information on the year 5771 and 5770. It helped greatly to confirm what my Pastors have been teaching on. Thank you so much.
I also have had a few peacock paraphernalia sitings this year as well, and so when I read your blog on the significance of the peacock, it was crazy confirmation on many levels to the point where at the same time I came across your blog and stumbled upon the entrys dealing with the Peacock and the Seeing years, I was re-reading James Goll’s, The Seer! LOL!! God is so good!!
Speaking of biblical numerology, I actually just turned 29 on September 14 and I saw that some earlier posts had similar questions on what their ages meant. I know somewhat the significance of the number 9 but what I was looking for greater clarity on the number 2. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
You are a great Blessing!

Dearest Trisanne,
First of all, thank you for not only reading, but taking the extra step to connect with Defining Words. As per your question, the number 29 deals with the expectancy of judgment. While this sounds, perhaps, negative… I assure you it is a wonderful thing. Hope this helps!
God bless.

Dear Melissa,
Happened upon your blog as I prepare some ‘encouraging words’ for people attending my New Years Eve Party. I am so filled with anticipation for what God has in store for us, I am about to explode! God has been ‘talking’ to me with 11:11 popping up everywhere, at significant times, and there has been a connection made with the year we are entering, 5771 Jewish, and 2011, gentile. Your insights are incredibly confirming and enlightening. Blessed me much!!

Melissa,
Many times I observed rain start to fall at 3.40pm since 2004. What is 3.40pm means.
Thanks

Whenever the meaning is unclear, I often resort to the Word of God. Perhaps 3:40 is a scriptural address. Lamentations 3:40 says, “Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.” Perhaps this is of significance to your life, ministry or call? Not sure, Thomas. The Lord loves to talk to us in riddles and hidden sayings. 3:40 happens to be one for you to discover !

I found your site not too long ago, and I am glad God pointed me here! Two things in particular- I had been reviewing a word spoken over me previously about government and had no idea what it meant and you posted about Government! Then, While praying the other day, I felt a mantle wrapped around my shoulders. Not 48 hours later you posted about Mantles of Glory. I love when God confirms His Word!

Dee Ann,
Glory! I am always amazed at the divine connections that are made, and at the precise moment in time they needed to happen. Blessings as you explore the mantle you’ve been given. Much love, Melissa

Hi Melissa, came across your site today. My wife and I have a church and ministry in Burton on Trent, England. We are connected with Apostle Chuck Pierce, Glory of Zion International based in Texas. We are into Times and Seasons and teach an “Issachar School” which is part of GOZI. Your revelation of Hebrew Year 5772 is a blessing. Thank you. Stephen and Jenny Watson, Kingdom Advance Network.

Hi Melissa, I have found great encouragement, confirmation and wisom in your articles! I was watching the post on tornado dreams. I have had Ira Milligans book for years and you are right it is full of great stuff. However, I have a question, how far do you think we should take using a book to interpret dreams when the Holy Spirit is the giver and interpreter. Should the book just be a general reference or a for sure interpretation. I only ask because while it was a great reference in my learning to understand my dreams, I found that I began to rely on the book instead of the Holy Spirit so I quit using the book and I have many friends call me and ask for interpretation to which now I reply, I have no idea (unluess of course the Holy Spirit downloads to me at that time) and they will say well doesnt the dream book tell what it is? so I am asking I guess for a little clarity on how far we are to take the dream book. Thanks.
