Harassment Not Random



KATHY GABLER—While writing this article, I was interrupted by the insurance lady. When I went back to the computer, this article file would not open again!  Finally, after many attempts and maneuvers, it opened. Then, in broad daylight, a roach ran up the slick metal tube leg of my TV tray and on to my computer screen!  You have to know me to fully appreciate the adrenaline implosion and the level of harassment that bodacious devil represented! (At that point I figured I must be on the verge of divulging one of hell’s favorite operations with this threshold interference ploy!) Of course, I had to stop writing to vacuum under everything that could be moved and then exterminate the house to build up enough nerve to go back to the computer.  It was frustrating and the thought actually passed through my mind to put the whole subject down and walk away, but I suddenly realized the timing of this personal-harassment-roach was not a random coincidence! When I could breathe normally and was over my terror, I realized personal harassment and interference are like a double-barrel shot gun.  Interference works on circumstances and harassment works on us.  Both are fighting dirty in an attempt to condition our thinking and attitudes and opinions and conclusions with the ultimate goal of taking advantage of our superpower which is agreement.

No Weapon Formed

MARTY GABLER—There is no weapon in all of hell’s arsenal that is marked “Sure ‘Nuff Christian Killer.” “No weapon forged against you will prevail (Isa.54:17).”  There is no diabolical demon on the lower level of hell behind a great steel and concrete door marked “Big Bad Christian Crusher.” There just simply is no such thing. Indeed he has come to “steal, to kill and to destroy (Jn.10:10)” but he cannot unless we fall for his propaganda and give in to his deception.

Our Place in the Upcoming Future

MELISSA GABLER—As we move forward with tenacity and God frustrates the devices of the wicked, we will each begin to see our place in the upcoming future. Let me go a little farther regarding this place we will hold by mentioning the wealth transfer in Proverbs 13:22 that’s about to get real!  I’ve heard about the wealth transfer from sinner to the just all of my life, but I’ve never seen it like I do now.  The reason the rest of this year is so important is because the great wealth transfer is not about someone just handing money to us.  It’s about taking the place of the wicked and possessing the land for the Kingdom of God.  Remember those seven mountains we have talked about for years?  It’s about us taking the empty spots on those mountains after God deals out Job 5:12.  Those that fought at Iwo Jima were part of the generation that has been labeled “The greatest”.  Let’s be tenacious and lay hold of the grace that is readily available to us to be the greatest Kingdom generation yet!

Key Insights About Weapons


KATHY GABLER—Key Insights About Weapons — Dear Self, Individual and Family, this promise is to you also.  Isaiah 54, as stated another way in The Message:  “If anyone attacks you, don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them, And if any should attack, nothing will come of it. . .  but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what GOD’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” GOD’s Decree.   There are key insights in this passage about a weapon: 1) If we believe it is from God, we might as well take up the weapon and shoot ourselves!  We shoot down the promise if we agree with a weapon on the basis of deserving the hit because of guilt or failure or mistakes or punishment.  Who needs an enemy when we are so capable of wrongly accusing our God and taking up weapons against our selves?  2) This promise assures us that ultimately the prepared weapon of attack will not have success and will not do us damage.  If we understand this, it will keep us from panic that causes us to do ourselves damage in the mean time.  3) We have to think like our God to grasp His promises.  God always sees long-range.  We focus on the immediate hit, but His promise here reaches to heritage and the eventual working out of everything for good.  That makes it plain that our disappointments concerning promise come from our giving up before the promise has finished its course.  (I’m thinking the only weapons with a possibility of success are those that land in our panic, fear, guilt or impatience.)   martygabler.com

Don’t Give in to the Chaos

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today their hearts will receive the peace and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and will not give in to the chaos being created by the powers of darkness. Therefore, they will take hope and act upon the Word of God and live and walk in His righteous Kingdom order. 1Cor.14:33,TPT—“For God is the God of harmony, not confusion, as is the pattern in all the churches of God’s holy believers.” Jn.14:27,TPT—“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!”

You Can Change Things From Where You Are

MELISSA GABLER — We/YOU carry what our nation and the world needs, and you can change things from where you are at this moment. God used a remnant of people time and time again to make big changes. He’s God, a tiny dose of His power can turn this thing upside-down! Our new motto for the middle of 2026 and beyond: As goes the remnant, so goes the nation.
(MELISSA will be speaking at the SEEC PAK Meeting which is Nov.6-7,2026 at Grace Church Willis.

Gates God Builds


KATHY GABLER—Sometimes a gate God builds is not a welcomed sight.  It looks like a risk to us or a scary unknown.  We feel like we have the option to decide to just stay safely within our fence and familiar boundaries.   The problem is that if we ignore the gates, we are locking ourselves into tradition just like the Pharisees.  We rarely see ourselves as Pharisees, but we too build personal traditions of men through the way we personally process instruction or the way we establish our own priorities or the way we come to our personal conclusions.  Our thought processes and priorities and conclusions are filters that can literally keep us from hearing what God is saying and thereby keep us refusing to acknowledge the Holy Spirit’s direction in our daily life.  So, “you make the word of God of none effect through your tradition, (KJV).  And you ignore God’s commands in order to follow your own teaching. “(CEV) Mark 7:13

Words that Fall to the Ground

MARTY GABLER—Let us be careful what we say. The Lord doesn’t want what we speak falling to the ground. (1Sam.3:19) “Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.” (Ps. 141:3, Amp)
