Going from Promise to Fulfillment
Promise => Process => Fulfillment
Have you been waiting for a promise of God to come to pass? Has Hope differed made you sick? When you have been looking for something and it doesn’t show up you become disappointed. The longer we wait for the promises of God to be manifest and allow disappointment to set in, we begin to lower our expectations to something more “believable” and we become blind to God when He does show up. That’s why it's time to LOOK AGAIN!

The number nine is a number of FINALITY, FULLNESS, FRUITFULNESS.
Nine is the number of GESTATION, REPRODUCTION AND MATURED DEVELOPMENT
A baseball team has nine players
To the highest degree – dressed to the nines
99 sheep
It’s the number of the Holy Spirit - 9 gifts of the spirit– 1 Cor 12:1-11
The number of the fruits of the Spirit - Gal 5:22,23
Fruit of the Womb – Gen 17:1
3 x 3 = DIVINE COMPLETENESS
9 is the hour of prayer – Acts 10:30
There was darkness UNTIL THE NINTH HOUR! - Jesus on the cross Mt 27:45-46
The Ninth hour is when the veil was torn!!!!
"Jesus blazed a trail before us and is our anchor on the other side of the veil" Hebrews 16:19-20

Back in 2009, I put a teaching together about the number 9 and how Isaiah 54 lines up with the meaning of the number nine and the nine fruits of the spirit. Attached below is the handout to the teaching. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the full teaching, so I typed up whatever I could remember. Just a very interesting synchronicity that 15 years later from first writing this --- as you can see in my “7 Steps to Healing” post (https://www.skool.com/highvibetribe/the-seven-steps-to-healing?p=a6355de1) we are moving into the week of REBIRTH and Isaiah 54! Back in 2009 I did not write this for the month of Elul or the week of rebirth I never even thought of using this teaching for this week, yet here we are on 9/9/24! These are a few titles of Isaiah 54 from different translations.
Sing, barren woman
The Eternal Covenant of Peace
Spread Out! Think Big!
The Fertility of Zion
The Future Glory of Zion
[ IF YOU DON'T LIKE LONG READS, JUST LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENT]
Is. 54 1a Sing, O barren one, you who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child!
The number nine represents pregnancy and reproduction but here he is talking about bareness so how does that correlate? It's the number for fruit of the womb.
1b. For the [spiritual] children of the desolate one will be more than the children of the married wife, says the Lord.
I) He Commands those who are barren to SING and SHOUT FOR JOY and then gives them a promise – they will have MORE children or MORE FRUIT than those who have not persevered through times of trouble.
How you react, respond, or carry yourself through your bareness and time of suffering will determine what your fruit will be or what you will reproduce. The Lord (Father and Son) had to go through his greatest suffering in order to re-establish His reign upon the earth. I believe we are in a crucial time right now where we must be aware of our EGO’s schemes and not let it take our good fruit from us by falling into the old patterns and back into old timelines.
Nine also represents goodness and here as we are commanded to shout for joy and sing we find God’s goodness in the midst of suffering.
The #9 means Reproduction & FRUIT
Bareness + Reaction (sing) = Reproduction & Fruit
Fruits of the Spirit =Patience, Self-Control, Joy

Is. 54: 2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes,
3 For you will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
II) Make room for the BLESSING and EXPANSION even in the midst of bareness when you can not see it.
When you are pregnant with a Promise TRUST God.
Let God take you through the promise process – Let Him STRETCH YOU
The first mention in scripture of the number nine is in Gen. 5:5 Adam lived until he was nine hundred and thirty years old and then in Gen 17:1 Abraham was 99 when he had Isaac.
#9 means: When you are Pregnant with a Promise
Make Room for the unseen – STRETCH Is 54:2,3
Fruit of the Spirit =Faith
______________________________________
Is. 54:4 Fear not, for you shall not be ashamed; neither be confounded and depressed, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and you shall not [seriously] remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.
5 For your Maker is your Husband—the Lord of hosts is His name—and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth He is called.
6 For the Lord has called you like a woman forsaken, grieved in spirit, and heartsore—even a wife [wooed and won] in youth, when she is [later] refused and scorned, says your God.
7 For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion and mercy, I will gather you [to Me] again.
8 In a little burst of wrath I hid My face from you for a moment, but with age-enduring love and kindness I will have compassion and mercy on you, says the Lord, your Redeemer.
III)Even if you don’t always react or respond in the right way during your time of bareness the Lord is a merciful God and will always give GRACE. Remember to give yourself grace as well.
#9 means Goodness
Undeserved Grace Is 54:4-8
Fruit of the Spirit = Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness

9 For this is like the days of Noah to Me; as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
10 For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you.
11 O you afflicted [city], storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in fair colors [in antimony to enhance their brilliance] and lay your foundations with sapphires. 12 And I will make your windows and pinnacles of [sparkling] agates or rubies, and your gates of [shining] carbuncles, and all your walls [of your enclosures] of precious stones.
17a But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong.
IV) Don’t be afraid let him take you through the process – He will administer justice
#9 means Justice
Trust in the Lord He is faithful Is 54:9-11,17a
Fruits of the Spirit =Love & Peace
_____________________________________________
13 And all your [spiritual] children shall be disciples [taught by the Lord and obedient to His will], and great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children.
14 You shall establish yourself in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God’s will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it is not from Me. Whoever stirs up strife against you shall fall and surrender to you.
16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals and who produces a weapon for its purpose; and I have created the devastator to destroy.
17b This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.
V) ALIGNMENT - Stepping into your TRUE SELF. BEING EMPOWERED to BE, is what walking in fulfillment looks like. The Fullness of the spirit is how we rule and reign in our own lives.
#9 means Fulfillment, Govern, Rule and Reign
Obedience + the Fear of the Lord = Fulfillment Is 54:13,14,17b
Fruit of the Spirit =FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT
Are you walking in your fulfillment?
The 21-day Magnetic Abundance Challenge goes well with this one.
Oh, and I was really feeling this song while putting this together!
