5785 Prophetic Word: A Year of Grace, Breakthrough, and Stepping into Your Spacious Place
“He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.”
2 Samuel 22:20 (NIV)
As we enter the new Hebrew year on God's prophetic calendar, the Lord has placed a few powerful words on my heart to speak over your life—words that will guide you into a season of promise and expansion. The phrase the Lord is highlighting for this new year is "spacious place."
Between October 2nd and 4th, many will begin to sense a powerful shift in the spirit, signaling the start of a new chapter in life.
The Holy Spirit is breathing new life into you! This is a time to step confidently into the fullness of God’s plans for your life. Most importantly, it’s time to speak the name of JESUS with boldness and authority!
The year 5785 will be about stepping into a spacious land, a place where you can breathe deeply, where burdens are lifted, and where there is freedom to move in the fullness of our Father’s plans for your life. The Bible has a ton to say about the spacious place.
Job 36:15-16: “But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction. He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place, free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.”
Exodus 3:7-8: The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt…So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Psalm 31:8: “You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.”
David knew all about the spacious place.
After years of being relentlessly pursued by King Saul and forced to take refuge in caves and strongholds, David finally stepped into the moment God had long prepared for him. Though he had been anointed as king, the path to his destiny was anything but smooth—it was marked by trials, uncertainty, and seasons of waiting. Yet, in God's perfect timing, there came a moment when the Lord led David into a spacious place of peace and security where the fullness of God's promises began to unfold. Why? Because the Lord delights in His children! Isn’t that amazing?!
In 2 Samuel 22:20, David sings, "He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me."
The "spacious land" represents more than just physical territory—it symbolizes a spiritual breakthrough, where the weight of past struggles lifts, and God's abundant blessings are poured out. The Hebrew word refers to a broad, open, or wide space. It symbolizes a place of freedom, relief from distress, and liberation from tight, constraining circumstances. It conveys the idea of being set free from oppression or restriction into a space where one can move freely and thrive.
A person evolves from a place of suffering to wholeness.
Psalm 118:5: “When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place.”
A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY 🪟
The year 5785 is symbolized by the Hebrew letter "hey" (ה), the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The shape of the letter resembles an open window or an open space, inviting us to look through and see things from God's perspective.
We are being called to return to a spacious and grace-filled relationship with our Heavenly Father, where His love, provision, and purpose flow freely into every area of our lives, bringing both restoration and expansion. I encourage you to literally start looking out the window, seeking the voice of our Father even in creation. He is speaking, and He wants to reveal wisdom and truth through what you see with your eyes.
In 5785, many will begin to see God’s plans with greater clarity, experiencing revelation that opens new possibilities for their lives, relationships, and callings.
God is shining His light into the areas of your life where there has been confusion, darkness, or misunderstanding, bringing divine revelation to guide and direct you into a future filled with hope. He sees the ways you've been mistreated, and He desires to set you free from every form of bondage, fear, and stronghold. In this season, God is going to reveal hidden truths, expose lies, and give you the understanding you need to walk in perfect alignment with His will for your life.
It’s important to remember that we are called to love our enemies, but that doesn’t mean we’re required to accommodate or appease them. When God instructs us to separate from someone or something, it’s vital that we follow His direction. Jesus Himself set clear boundaries, never running after those who walked away but remaining focused on His mission.
Likewise, when God leads us into a spacious place, it demands our obedience and trust, even when it's challenging.
As you open your heart to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, you can expect breakthroughs in areas where you once felt stuck. God is going to clear the path before you. The fogginess from a past season will be replaced with clarity as King Jesus brings peace and purpose to your life. You are God’s child and He cares about your heart. He is going to show you the way!
1 John 3:1 (NIV)
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!"
Prepare: You Are Entering A Spacious Land!
“I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey...”
In both the stories of Moses and David, we see a profound journey toward spaciousness—a journey from narrow, confined spaces into wide-open territories, both physically and spiritually. For Moses, the people of Israel were bound in Egypt, enslaved under heavy burdens with little room to move or thrive. But God delivered them into a spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, one that promised abundance and rest.
In Exodus 3:7-8, the Lord says to Moses, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey...”
This scripture shows God’s heart for His people and His desire to lead us out of a place of suffering and into a place of blessing and freedom.
David also experienced moments where he was trapped in tight, constricted situations, running for his life and hiding in caves. Yet in Psalm 18:19, David declares, “He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.” God didn’t leave David in those narrow places of despair; instead, He delivered him into wide-open spaces where he could thrive and fulfill his calling.
Beloved, God is calling you forth from the cave at this time. The training and hiding had a purpose, but now it’s time to stand and teach others how to evolve from merely surviving to truly thriving.
As we look to 5785, I believe God is inviting you into your own spacious place. This is a place where old limitations fall away, and new opportunities emerge. The Holy Spirit is saying that this year will be marked by divine expansions—spiritually, relationally, and even in your physical circumstances. Just as God enlarged the territories for His chosen people, He is expanding the spaces in your life where He wants to dwell, work, and bring you deeper into His purpose.
If you’ve felt like you’ve been in a tight space—emotionally, financially, or spiritually—this is the year to believe in a breakthrough. It’s important to trust in the Lord’s leadership. He is your Commander-In-Chief and your steps are ordered by Him. The spacious place He has for you is one of peace, joy, and abundance. It’s a place where you’ll be able to flourish and experience the fullness of His presence without the weights and restrictions of the past.
The spacious land will also allow you to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we build His Kingdom together. We are called to love others and preach the gospel to all the earth. Through Jesus, we are given the strength, wisdom, and courage to accomplish more than we could ever imagine, impacting lives for eternity.
5785: Prophetic Insight
As we step into 5785, it’s significant that the year begins and ends with the number 5.
In the Bible, the number 5 holds deep meaning, symbolizing grace, God’s unmerited favor, and divine empowerment. As we enter this new season, we are reminded of God’s abundant grace that surrounds us both in the beginning and the end of this journey.
Beyond grace, the number 5 also represents the five-fold ministry outlined in Ephesians 4:11—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.
These roles are essential in building up the body of Christ, equipping the saints, and helping the church grow in maturity. In this year of 5785, I believe the Lord is calling His people to step more fully into their specific roles within this ministry. Whether you're called to lead, teach, speak, write, sing, or serve in any capacity, God’s grace will empower you to operate effectively in your assignment.
What’s also fascinating about 5785 is the presence of the numbers 7 and 8 at the center.
Seven, the number of completion and perfection, and eight, the number of new beginnings, are pivotal markers this year. The Lord is speaking that this year will be one where the completion of past trials, seasons, and lessons will give birth to new beginnings and the fulfillment of His promises. It’s a transition from a time of refinement into a time of renewal and breakthrough.
In this year, the Holy Spirit is also saying that many will be released from the bondage of past seasons.
Just as God heard the cries of the Israelites, He has heard your cries. This is the year He’s not only bringing you out, but He’s also bringing you into a new, wide-open space where you can breathe, grow, and thrive. Expect to see the hand of God moving in areas where you’ve felt stuck or pressed down. His grace is bringing expansion, and He is faithful to complete what He has started.
Jesus loves you more than you can imagine. He is always near, watching over you with the tender care of a loving Father. His love for you knows no limits, and nothing in this world can separate you from it. God wants you to walk into every room with the assurance that you are cherished by the King of kings—fully known, fully loved, and completely accepted. You are His precious child, and He takes great delight in you. It’s time to step confidently into your future, knowing you are guided by His hand.
As you move forward, open the window and breathe in the fragrance of this new season. God's love and grace are like a fresh wind surrounding you, carrying you into spacious places filled with new opportunities and blessings.
Remember, as God’s child, you are also an heir to the throne, called to fulfill His purposes. Romans 8:17 says, “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ...” And Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that “we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
You are not only loved but chosen, equipped to carry out the good works God has destined for you in this season of grace and expansion. Go forth in the mighty name of Jesus! 🩷
