WATCH OUT: The Sign of 711 — How the Lord Speaks Through Signs, Symbols, and Patterns

About a year ago, the Lord called me back, just like the prodigal son. It wasn’t through some big dramatic event but through something small—something I didn’t expect: a number. That number was 711. I started seeing it everywhere. And it wasn’t just a coincidence. It felt like the Lord was trying to get my attention.

At work, I became known as "Mr. 711" because I’d stop at 7-Eleven daily for drinks and snacks. Even now, I still make it part of my routine—an early morning visit to 7-Eleven for an energy drink and a snack before work. Don’t judge me. But it’s more than just a habit; it’s a constant reminder of the Lord’s presence in my life.

Now, this morning—March 7—something really caught my attention. I walked into 7-Eleven, and there was an advertisement for Pi Day on March 14. A whole pizza for $3.14. Of course, I know Pi equals 3.14, but here’s the thing: when I saw that pizza, I couldn’t help but think of a full moon. I thought about how a pizza pie looks like a moon—and then it hit me. On March 14, 2025, there’s going to be a blood moon. What are the chances of that? It wasn’t just a random thought. It felt like the Lord was showing me something.

But it wasn’t just about the pizza or the blood moon. It’s what that date represents. March 14, 2025, happens to be Purim—a Jewish holiday that celebrates God’s deliverance of His people. In the Book of Esther, Haman, a high-ranking official in Persia, plotted to destroy the Jewish people. But through God’s timing and Esther’s courage, the plot was exposed, and the enemy’s plans were overturned. Purim is a reminder that God is always working behind the scenes to protect His people, even when things look dark.

That connection really struck me. The idea of deliverance, divine timing, and the blood moon all coming together on the same date—there’s no way that’s just a coincidence. It felt like a sign, a message that God’s protection and timing are still in play, especially with everything going on in the world right now.

And then, just three weeks ago, I clearly heard the Lord speak to me: “Israel, in its hope, will never be erased.” Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. They weren’t just passing thoughts; I knew they were from Him. The Lord was speaking directly to me, confirming something deep in my spirit.

This is how the Lord works in my life—through signs, symbols, and patterns. It’s not about coincidences; it’s about paying attention. It’s about seeing how everything is connected. God reveals things at appointed times, always for a reason. And if we’re paying attention, He’ll show us exactly what we need to see.

For me, 711 isn’t just a number anymore. It’s a breadcrumb, a sign that God is always speaking. It’s a reminder that in the smallest of details, He’s revealing something bigger. The Lord speaks through everything—the things we might overlook if we aren’t paying attention. But when we are, it all starts to make sense.

So, watch for the signs. Look for the patterns. The Lord is always showing us something. It’s just a matter of being open to hearing.

Amen!
