The Creator’s Original Warranty

(Melissa Gabler) — God Himself created the original warranty when Jesus took those stripes on His back (Isa. 53:5 & 1 Pe. 2:24). Yeah, that’s right, we have a never ending warranty on us, signed in blood. This warranty includes, “…all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Pt. 1:3). Whatever you are dealing with is covered in your “warranty”. It’s fixable! The siege is over because the Lord has already lifted up a standard against it (Is. 59:19). Our individual lives are about the greater good so go ahead and be healed right now! You are too important to be silenced by sickness, pain, or emotional turmoil.

The Weight of Unresolved Issues

KATHY GABLER—I awoke in a funk. When my eyes opened, the weight of unresolved situations and unanswered prayers was already smothering my hope for the day. I sat up and said, “Father, I’m not going to whine and list the stuff that is squeezing my heart. Neither will I foolishly demand that You do something quick or I quit, but I do honestly want to ask: How should I think? How do I deal with the troubles in my face this morning, long-standing issues that have not the slightest evidence of even being on Your radar? I see no hint of things in motion or even the slightest chance of change. What do I do?” He answered immediately, “Stay still and stay thankful.” His answer was both sudden and surprising, but the instructions were clear. I embarked on a journey that morning, one of those unmapped trips that bring you to intersections you did not anticipate. I was about to discover that some foundational concepts in my Christian world, like peace and trust and faith, connected in ways that I had never realized.

God’s Continual Presence and Support

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today may they realize His continual presence and support. May they stand where bid to stand and do what they are bid to do with a heart to get it done. May they declare that they will be strong and courageous knowing that a wise God with a successful plan has called them to stand and declare, and believe and do. “Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. “ (Jos 1:7, NASB)

The Word of God Leaves Nothing Alone

MARTY GABLER—THE WORD OF GOD WILL LEAVE NOTHING ALONE. The emphasis left us in Heb 4:12 is that the Word that is alive and the Word that is indescribably sharp, will leave nothing in us alone. The Word of God cannot be anything but alive, active, operative and penetrating and addresses everything in us. That powerful Word is going to leave nothing alone in your life. The Word of God is going to get after sin. It’s not going to leave the destiny of Jesus that is in you alone. It’s not going to leave the prophecies that are in you by the laying on of hands alone. It’s not going to leave the songs alone that God inspired and brought to you in worship concerning His greatness to be and greatness to act.

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.”
