What does the Mystic Word - "Abracadabra" mean?
I saw this word inscribed in the spirit in the year 2017 and l started a daily devotional called Abracadabra .Then 3 years ago , l watched Grand Master , Prophet Uebert Angel , teaching Abracadabra in his church in United Kingdom, I treasure the revelations he spoke about it , l gained more understanding.
It seems that the word abracadabra first appears in a verse written by the Roman poet Quintus Serenus Sammonicus in the second century AD. The word originated as a secret and mystical word with the Basilidian Gnostics associated with the God name IAO Sabaot. In Greek it was often written abrasadabra. As such, some writers have also connected the word with Abrasax, the name of the Gnostic concept of the solar or divine Light aspect of the Christ as the Son/Sun (Abraxas in Latin sources). In fact, the name Abraxas itself was said to have magical powers of its own, particularly healing powers, as a word that represented the number of days in the year, it's number value adding to 365 (thus the association with the Sun), the number of Emanations in the Persian Mithraic mysteries as well (Mithras also adds to 365 in Greek). The name Abrasax also seems to have been associated with the Vernal Equinox, being as this is when the new Zodiac year begins again in Aries. The Gnostic divine name IAO Abrasax should surely generate some additional commentary here!
Because of it's association with the healing solar energies, abracadabra was often engraved on amulets and precious stones, which were used as charms by various Gnostic sects in the first centuries of the common era. Archaeologists have found amulets written in the shape of a triangle on a piece of parchment, which was rolled up and placed within a small brooch worn round the neck. This amulet was not only believed to have the power to cure toothaches, malaria and other common scourges, but apparently was also used to banish or ward off any evil influence. When chanted, it was reduced letter by letter, and as the formula was reduced to the final Alpha (or Alef) the fever or malaise was diminished. It was written on the parchment like this (though they sometimes used the letter K and left out the middle A to yield nine letters and ten lines rather than ten letters and eleven lines, in apparent homage to Pythagoras’ base ten tetractys):

David Hulse attributes the Hebrew DBRA K ARBA as meaning “the fourfold word” in his encyclopedic books The Eastern and Western Mysteries, and cites the same triangular talisman, though he doesn't attribute it to the Gnostics. He asserts that this Hebrew rendition adds to 432, which is also the gematria value of ChDVDITh, a pyramid or cone and KThIB, spelling or the lettering of a word. Both of these meanings are consonant with the Gnostic talismanic use cited above.
According to an online resource, abracadabra was translated by G. Davidson in his Dictionary of Angels as “I bless the dead”, and as one of the three Holy Names used when blessing a sword. According to this resource, abracadabra is found in several Hebrew magical and mystical texts including The Sword of Moses and The Book of the Angel Raziel.
The word also could have been constructed as a contraction from six Hebrew words: Ab, the father, Bar, a word with many meanings including: the son or heir, beloved, or something clean and pure, Barah, to create or to select, Ra’ah, to see or experience, Achad, one, and Arba, four (as in the fourfold YHVH). Another idea is that the word might allude to the Hebrew “ha brachah dabarah” or “Speak the blessing”. Its also possible Egyptian contraction: Ab, the heart, Ra, the Sun, Ka, the soul, and/or Khabs, Star/God, with the Ab and Ra repeated.
These various attributes for this enigmatic voce magica are all potent points of departure for contemplation. All in all, they all describe a talismanic use of the word in theurgy/magic. We shouldn’t be at all surprised that it has become dragged down by popular culture as the word uttered by stage magicians when performing their sleight-of-hand legerdemain.
The source most aligned with it's meaning in relation to divine theurgy has to be the one cited by Tau Malachi in his original post - the Hebrew abra k'adabra, "I will create as I speak." As the thought forms the word, so this word might be aligned with Proverbs 23:7 "As the man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Though the context of Proverbs is a warning to be wary of a man with an evil eye who offers fine food and drink, it also has much to say also of one whose acts are a refelection of the divine will of their Neschama.
The inherent power in the spoken word is reflected particularly in Yeshua's sayings: "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Matthew 12:37. And, "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." Matthew 15:11
