I still love that Kathy with the beautiful and anointed voice. I also loved her awesome style on the piano. She is sooo immensely missed. ❤ When we were recording, the owner of the studio (who had a rock band and played many of the big rock venues along the Gulf Coast) told a friend of ours, “I can feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit all over this room.”🙌

 

How to Pierce an Atmosphere

KATHY GABLER—Jesus demonstrated how to pierce an atmosphere.  He did it when He acknowledged the woman with the issue of blood.  His acknowledgment, without condemnation, pierced the atmosphere of traditions that limit life and steal destiny.  He pierced the atmosphere that was filled with the fear of death when He spoke to Jairus of his daughter saying, “Do not be afraid any longer; merely entrust this to Christ, and she will be made well.”  Jesus’ words pierced the atmosphere and served as a heads-up to the prince of the power of the air over Jairus’ region.  That atmosphere filled with unbelief was about to shatter.  The stronghold of experience and natural limitations was crumbling, bowing to a Higher order.  Jesus set the rules of engagement in Lk 8:51 “ When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.” Then He pierced the powers-that-be again, “He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.”  The first blow shook every power of darkness lurking in the smothering, toxic air, and then He delivered the second blow in verse 54, “He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Child, arise!”

Fears About Moons, Eclipses and Dates

MARTY GABLER—While there are people in every generation who have illusions and fears about moons, eclipses and calendar dates, let us all fear GOD and walk before Him uprightly through all the comings and goings of signs and dates and books and videos on social media. In spite of illusions, may the people of God live fruitfully and effectively while perfect love is casting out fear created by those illusions (1Jn.4:18). “But against all illusion and fantasy and empty talk there’s always this rock foundation: Fear God!” (Eccl.5:7, Msg)
Dates, predictions and signs come and go in every generation and during and after the book writing and prophesying of it all, and after the hubbub, frenzy, fear and debates subside, creation is still left groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. We are surrounded by masses who wish their lives were different. It would not do creation nor the miserable masses an ounce of good for sons of God to be manifest somewhere out there in the distant, eternal future. Creation is not groaning for the cessation of time but for the benefits received when the King’s sons/daughters rule wisely and authoritatively with their Father’s character and enablement in real time, in present circumstances (Matt.10:7-8; Mk.16:17-20).

Something Big Shifting

MELISSA GABLER—There is something big shifting that requires us to move forward inch-by-inch as God directs.  It’s about being restored to take possession.  There are things that each of us have been created to lay our hands to and we are about to be called up.  As we move forward with tenacity and God frustrates the devices of the wicked (Job5:12), we will each begin to see our place in the upcoming future.

Power of the Resurrection


MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble on Resurrection Sunday may the power of that very Resurrection fill the room and fill each person. May He, Who IS the Resurrection revive all the dreams and all the visions that have died or ceased to function in each one. May we come through Resurrection Sunday standing up again and going out in the name of the Lord preaching His ever-expanding Kingdom that those who are captive might be set free in King Jesus’ resurrection power for the purposes of our Lord.   Rom.6:4,TPT—“Sharing in his death by our baptism means that we were co-buried with him, so that when the Father’s glory raised Christ from the dead, we were also raised with him. We have been co-resurrected with him so that we could be empowered to walk in the freshness of new life.”

Father’s Blanket Covering

MARTY GABLER—As the sons/daughters of God move farther into the year, may they rejoice together and know for certain that no matter what is happening in the nation or even worldwide, no matter what opposition is visible or being planned in the dark, their God has spread out His blanket covering and His fire burns against the darkness in their behalf so that they have His counsel and His guidance regardless of world conditions.  “The Lord spread out his cloud like a blanket. He used his column of fire to give his people light at night.” (Ps.105:39, ERV)

God is Putting His Finger on Things

MELISSA GABLER — God is putting His finger on things that must be dealt with right now in individual’s lives. This is a tremendous opportunity to be free of cycles, issues and fears that have held you and your family captive. I know there are those reading this right now that have had recent revelations of personal bondage that the Lord is unlocking. He’s opening eyes and restoring lives for, dare I say, such a time as this! So, take rest in knowing you don’t have to have it all figured out and on track before you go to bed tonight. Just simply start with realizing that He is the One that restores your soul and leads you in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake (Ps. 23).  It’s about that, His Name’s sake, inch-by-inch for His Name’s sake.

Time Between Expectation and Manifestation

KATHY GABLER—Time Between Expectation And Manifestation
One thing that keeps us walking steadily forward in working out our salvation and our purpose is expectation. The length of time between expectation and manifestation is rarely predictable and usually only clear to God and hindsight.  In that gap between “the now” and “the future,” that gap between “anticipate” and “achieve,” that gap between “reach” and “hold,” our greatest challenge is to keep processing and not give up.  Perhaps we will be more apt not to quit if we understand three things about expectation: 1) Expectation is a force to be reckoned with because it can build a runway for the future.  Expectation can be a literal form of agreement that opens a portal into our lives.  2) One snare to beware of is that expectations can lock you down.  People tend to watch for and only hear what they expect and so they are blinded to the hand of God moving in any other way.  Our single focus on specific expectations can make us miss the real answer to our prayers.   3) Another snare is that expectations are not always positive.  People expect condemnation when they feel guilty.  People expect failure because of experience.  People expect rejection because of wounds.  Training and aligning our expectations is one way to prepare to see and receive God-results through process this year.

Jesus Conquered

MARTY GABLER—“JESUS did not conquer in spite of the dark mystery of evil, He conquered through it.”  (Quote found in my notes)   ”… I died, but see, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of [absolute control and victory over] death and of Hades (the realm of the dead).(Rev.1:18, Amp)
