Genesis 28:16-17
When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the Lord is in this place,   and I was not aware of it." He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."  Genesis 28:16-17

The transformation process of destiny from Jacob to Israel was from that encounter.

There are gates that control entrance into and exit from the systems of this world. There are church gates, city gates, regional gates, national gates, kingdom gates, gates through which the Holy Spirit flows into, and gates also that if opened to darkness, evil flows into.
