This year… look to sing your song in the night and if He sings over you… then sing together in intimacy. Look for the lyric in the midst of all the noise. Look for your harmony as you sing with grace in His heart’s melody.

If you worship… He will come… He “inhabits the praises.”

2026 in the Gregorian Calendar – or for a more true look at where we are in time, the current year in the Jewish (Hebrew) calendar is 5786. This year began at sunset on October 2, 2025, and will end at sunset on September 11, 2026, when the year 5787 begins, according to Hebcal.com

2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

We’re at a key moment of transition as we transition the Hebrew year of 5787! We’re moving out of the old and into the new. 

Many people don’t pay attention to the Hebrew calendar. But, I believe the Hebrew calendar is God’s calendar. 

Now, I don’t often delve into Hebrew numerics, but I believe it’s important to understand the Hebrew meaning of the numbers ‘5786’. 

Interpreting Hebrew numbers isn’t an exact science. However, each Hebrew number has a range of possible meanings that can help us understand the potential prophetic meaning behind this coming Hebrew New Year!

Hebrew Meaning of the Number ‘5786’

Here are some of the meanings behind the Hebrew numbers ‘5786’:

In Memorium –

Streetfire Ministries vice-president, Jack West went home to be with the Lord.  All that knew him, loved him.  We are saddened by his departure, but rejoicing in that his pain is no more.  The twinkle in those eyes is gone from here, but not from our hearts or the courts of Heaven.

“When you saw us together… which was pretty much all the time…. you KNEW there was going to be trouble and mischief. This was taken in 1980 at Evangel Temple in Minneapolis.  -Pastor Mark

May 14, 2016

I can remember that especially in the early days of ministry, we’d finish a full weekend and I was exhausted. On one stretch we preached 90 days in a row. Jack was never one to stay in bed as he was very much a morning person. On some days he would knock on my door at dark-thirty in the morning and tell me he was going to “get a cup.” When I finally got up, he was drinking his coffee and reading his Bible.

There were times I would awaken and go to his room to find the bed made and when I looked out in the driveway the car was gone. He’d just… leave quietly. I’d always miss him when he had to go.

I believe this is the heart of our ministry…  I pray it always remains as such:

Hebrew Year 5786 … A Year of NEW BEGINNINGS

Jer 33:6

  Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

Streetfire Ministries was incorporated in 1987 in Iowa and was transferred to a Michigan based corporation in May of 2009.  In 2017, God had put on our hearts to move to the edge of the prairie and transferred our  corporation to Iowa where the corporation was founded. The vision is to be a part of an international spiritual medical center that is 24/7 – ministering to the hearts, souls, minds and bodies of those in need.

This ministry was birthed in a prayer room in Minneapolis in 1980. It has been a venue that allows me to reach out to those in need of a place to gather and a local ministry within the parameters of a church. It also is a dual-role ministry that affords me the challenge of finding secular work outside of the ministry where I am able to make a difference in the lives of those who are unchurched in the community I am planted in.

We strive to be a ministry that is not motivated or dictated by monetary means. We pray that you will be welcomed and ministered to – regardless of your income, your race or your spiritual condition.

There will be no Christian infomercials or pleas for money – no hidden agendas – Freely we’ve received and freely will we give.

We are seeking to be a house of prayer for all nations. We stand upon a cornerstone scripture found in II Chronicles 7:14-16…

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.  Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.”

Today as we move farther and farther away from the literal cross and closer and closer to a literal eternity,  the enemy really doesn’t want us to be able to tap into the spirit.  It must be a catch 22 for him.  He wants to be noticed and glorified, but at the same time, he doesn’t.   His glory comes through the flesh of man and through the fall of man.

Because we are a people that are governed by our five senses and have learned to be comfortable with those senses,  we have a sense of accomplishment in them.  We feel no need to go outside our realm…  until… a crisis arises which we can not understand, nor do we have any answers for.  It is a crisis where our senses are keen to the problem, but there is no comfort from anything we are equipped with.

These limited senses do not have the capability of seeing into or believing into the future.  What have done, is mastered the art of hindsight.  We can see where God has been,  how He’s worked,  miracles that have occurred, things have been accomplished with no logic or reasoning – and when all reason and logic have been exhausted,  then and only then do we spout a statement like… “Maybe there really is a God”.

The children of Israel were standing before an impossible and angry sea in the middle of a dark night.  The cloud that was before them removed itself and went behind them as a protection from their past which was even then at the door.

I am very sure that those people who had seen miracle after miracle were saying,  “yeah, I know what God did before, but what about this time?”  There it is.  The failure to walk in a supernatural realm until the miracle occurs.

Before the miracle occurs… be careful what comes from your mouth.

There was not one person standing before that sea proclaiming that they were going to go through it and not get their feet wet.  They were a huddled mass of wet mess – fearing for their lives and crying into the night air.

Suddenly Moses stretched forth his hand.  His bony old natural blood filled hand over the sea.  At least, that’s what everyone saw.  But his hand, when moved by the word of God caused each and every one to move into a supernatural realm.

And they walked in the midst of a miracle.  Trouble on every side in the form of angry waves perhaps some 60 to 70 feet high. (that much water displaced for 6 million people had to stack at least that high)  I don’t believe the Bible records one word from one of those millions of Jews.  Not one word of praise. Not one word of worship.  Silence.

And then… as the last Jew was coming to step into the land of Midian, the dawn broke and it was written: Exo 14:24  And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians.

They watched in the midst of silence as God replaced the water.  One thing you must know is that the enemy can not walk in the midst of your miracle!

And what was really revealing to me happened not as this frightened band of senseless people who only relied upon their five senses walked through their silence, but what happened afterward.

Oh, we will cheer God on after the fact,  but what about right now – when you are still in Egypt?  What about right now when you are in the longest walk of your life through a darkness that seems to span eternity?  What about the ability to jump your five senses and see into the five senses of the Spirit realm?  What about the ability to call those things which are not… as though they were?

We can jump all over those poor Israelites for not cheering in the midst of the miracle, but look in the mirror and see that we are related.  We have their eyes of fear.  We have their mouths of unbelief.  We have their hands that hang down.  We have their mouths that only taste the bitter.  We only hear the clanking of enemy armor.

Faith is still the substance of things HOPED FOR and the evidence of things NOT SEEN. (Hebrews 11:1)

Jesus, after He ascended to Heaven and spilled His blood on the mercy seat came back to let his disciples know that “the coast was clear”.   He wanted to rejoice with them that salvation had been secured and that one had crossed over on dry ground to Heaven… making a way for all others including them.

How His heart must have broken when He returned, just as He said, and Thomas was still speaking out of his five natural senses… “Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.”  (John 20:25)

Thomas did eventually believe.  He eventually got to the other side of his sea and saw the enemy destroyed.  He eventually believed it was true.  But not because of faith.  Not because of his ability to walk in the Spirit.

Joh 20:29  Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

We are like the Jews in Psalm 126 – we rejoice after the deliverance. “Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with singing.”

I believe that God is looking for someone to bless.  Someone who will stand on the shores of their Egypt with the past and the darkness threatening them… who will be dancing… who will be singing…  who will be proclaiming WHO GOD IS.

There are five natural senses.  There are five books in the Pentateuch.  I believe it is no coincidence that God is telling us that we can escape our five senses that hold us captive and prevent us from the freedom we can experience in the parallel realm.

Hab 3:16  When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.

Hab 3:17  Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

Hab 3:18  Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.  Psalm 18:2
