Breaking Down the Prophetic Lifestyle

MELISSA GABLER— Let’s break it down. The Prophetic lifestyle (spiritually minded) is based on realizing there is more going on than meets the eye. There is an unseen realm always present and in action in the midst of the seen realm.  “For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense.” (Romans 1:20, AMP)
Human nature/soul (carnally minded) is largely based on the seen realm without much thought or regard for the unseen.  “Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever—because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God—both now and forever]; 7 the mind of the flesh [with its sinful pursuits] is actively hostile to God. It does not submit itself to God’s law, since it cannot,” (Romans 8:6-7).  The word ‘carnal’ in vs. 6 – sarx (Greek) – literally means “human nature”.  To be “human nature” minded is deadly? How so? Because human nature wants to be in charge — reasonable, logical and do it ourselves.
Human nature is carnally minded and operates in the seen realm which is based on man’s power, wisdom and experience. The Prophetic Lifestyle is spiritually minded and operates in the unseen and seen realm based on the wisdom and power of God for every situation. “If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5, AMP)

Gates and Traditions

KATHY GABLER—NEW GATES—Our traditions can be excess baggage that we have to unpack for the journey through a new gate.  We need to unpack passionless pieces and old seasons and expired obediences, those acts that were once a mandate but lost their effectualness as times and circumstances changed.  Israel had many parameters for sacrifice.  They were all teaching-tools and types to anticipate and understand the coming Messiah.  All their animal sacrifices were blood that was shed for an exemplary nation until the Christ would come to shed His blood for all mankind.  An expired obedience would be to continue the ceremony after the type had been fulfilled.  That translates in our day as expired legalisms that want to impose on us the traditions of men instead of the freedom of Christ, like trying to breed a red heifer or build another temple or enforce religious calendar activities again.  When God provides a gate, expired goals won’t fit through it.  (seecministries.org)

Jesus Walks Through Walls of Impossibility

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may the Lord walk through walls of opposition, walls of impossibility, walls individuals have built between themselves and other members of the body of Christ. May He miraculously walk through every barrier into our midst today so that He might release in us and through us His peace, gifts and redemptive power.“That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” He said.” (Jn.20:19, NLT)

Seek Skillful and Godly Wisdom

MELISSA GABLER—This passage is a perfect tool for this time: Proverbs 2:3-6,Amp— 3 “Yes, if you cry out for insight, And lift up your voice for understanding; 4 If you seek skillful and godly wisdom as you would silver And search for her as you would hidden treasures; 5  Then you will understand the [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] And discover the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives [skillful and godly] wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding”.   Ask for insight and understanding and you will begin to awaken to the fear of the Lord. Then you will understand how to navigate through what is at hand and what is to come. This is our opportunity to demonstrate the Kingdom of God and leave an effectual legacy centered in the fear of the Lord. I’ve heard so many times over the last couple of years that revival is coming. Yes, revival is coming, and it will come through awakened people bowing their knee to the Almighty God.

Our Intervener

MARTY GABLER—This meme is actually from 2017 but tonight I am really needing to claim this word for now. This Intervener did so when He parted the Red Sea for the entire nation of Israel. He is the One I am claiming as my Intervener tonight. He will help us make it through the night time and again. He sent Jesus Christ as the Ultimate Intervener as He entered history to intervene for us all because we once were lost but now am found. Yes, He is the One I am claiming as my Intervener tonight… all night long. (Compare Rom.8:26)

What Kind of Man is This?

KATHY GABLER—They said of Jesus: “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” (Mt.8:27)  This is the kind of man that exemplifies a son that creation groans for, the kind of man that believes God delegated authority to mankind in Genesis that is still in effect.  Jesus lived as the kind of man that would overcome opposing circumstances and even natural boundaries to bring circumstances into alignment with God’s will, the kind of son who does what he sees the Father doing.  We can do this.  Dominion is doable.

A Kingdom Mentality

MARTY GABLER—Like Jesus, a Kingdom mentality puts us (1) where we are supposed to be, (2) knowing who we are, (3) what authority we have and (4) what we are supposed to be doing. Jesus did not allow evil to determine or alter His plans or actions. For some, being delivered from evil will be as simple as unembracing personal experience and embracing what God says you can be and what you can do. (Jn.18:37)

We Were Made to Advance

MELISSA GABLER—We were made to advance the Kingdom in this moment.  We get to be alive to advance the Kingdom in this moment! God doesn’t do things by chance, He does them with intention.  I say this to say, you have the eternal plan of God inside of you, all you need to do is walk it out.  How do we walk it out? By relationship with our Father which solidifies our identity as a son or daughter made to manifest the dominion mandate.
