PASTOR TROY BREWER HAS A FEW NOTES ON WHAT THE 83 IN HEBREW MEANS FOR YOU AND I:
83 IS GIMMEL. IT MEANS CAMEL. GIMMEL MEANS TO LIFT UP—AS A CAMEL LIFTS UP A PERSON WHO IS RIDING IT. ANOTHER DEFINITION IS TO BEAR BURDENS IN DESERT PLACES.
THE ROOT WORD OF GIMMEL HAS A DUAL MEANING. IT IS THE CHOICE BETWEEN BLESSINGS OR CURSES. JUSTICE OR JUDGMENT.
GOD’S JUSTICE MAKES THINGS RIGHT. FOR EXAMPLE, GOD’S JUSTICE WOULD CAUSE A WIDOW TO HAVE A HOME.
BUT JUSTICE OR JUDGMENT IS OUR CHOICE. THIS IS A “VALLEY OF DECISION YEAR.” DO YOU WANT JUSTICE OR JUDGMENT? EACH OF US MUST DECIDE.
IF YOU HAVE A STANDING JUDGMENT AGAINST OTHERS, MATTHEW 7:2 WILL BE APPLIED TO YOU. “FOR WITH WHAT JUDGMENT YOU JUDGE, YOU WILL BE JUDGED; AND WITH THE MEASURE YOU USE, IT WILL BE MEASURED BACK TO YOU.”
ASK GOD TO REVEAL TO YOU ANY JUDGMENTS YOU HAVE AGAINST OTHERS, SO THAT YOU CAN RELEASE THOSE JUDGMENTS AND REPENT. ASK GOD TO RELEASE YOU FROM ALL JUDGMENTS COMING AGAINST YOU AND TO GIVE YOU HIS JUSTICE.
THE 83RD NUMBER IN STRONG’S HEBREW IS EBER, MEANING PINIONS OR WINGS. THIS IS USED IN ISAIAH 40:31—BUT THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY, THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT.
DECREE THAT YOU WILL HAVE JUSTICE AND BLESSINGS THIS YEAR. DECREE THAT YOUR STRENGTH IS BEING RENEWED THIS YEAR, THAT YOU WILL RUN YOUR RACE WITHOUT ANY WEARINESS THIS YEAR!
