Redemptive Tip

LeaveTip
A redemptive act may be giving a $20.00 tip and a kind word
to a waitress under a heavy load of family problems after a
mean-spirited customer cussed her out for no good reason
and left her an 11 cent tip.

(This is the ninth excerpt from Marty’s article “THY Kingdom
Come“ which was published in SEEC Magazine [Marty and Kathy’s
ministry magazine]. More excerpts will be posted Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. Previous excerpts may be read by

“LET IT RAIN” 


Your Home #22

HappyFamily
Your Home #22 – May your home be a place where people dwell on the good report.

“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating
on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst;
the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you
learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes
everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.” (Phil.4:8-9, Msg)

Redeeming Property

For Sale
A redemptive act may be buying a piece of property that has been used for pornography or human trafficking or manufacturing illegal drugs, then taking that property and using it to help addicts get delivered or using it as a home for abandoned children. It has been done several times across the nation.

(This is the eighth excerpt from Marty’s article “THY Kingdom Come“ which was
published in SEEC Magazine.)



Provision Of Ancient Of Days

Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom, 06.26.15:

Declaration especially to you older folk: Our God is the Ancient of Days, and I declare to you that He is giving to you out of His days your days. Your days are not determined by your genes or your DNA. Your days are not determined by how long your grandma lived or didn’t live. Your days are not determined by a diagnosis or a prognosis. Your days are dependent upon the purpose of God that you were born with. You came out of your momma’s womb with purpose.


In this 2 min. audio encouragement Kathy
declares: “Your Redeemer lives and He is
able to buy back time that the locusts have eaten.”

Redemptive Word Of Affirmation

TalkSon
A redemptive act can be as simple as speaking a word of affirmation to a child who has been abused or neglected or bullied. That word of affirmation may possibly save their life. One day when we were eating at a restaurant I noticed a large family who had gathered to eat at several tables pulled together. There was a young man about 15 years old that the Lord began speaking to me about. I went over and gave the word the Lord had given me for him. Weeping, His dad pulled me aside and told me that I had just saved his son’s life. He was planning to commit suicide but that word spoke specifically to his need. The boy then joined us and thanked me and told me what it meant to him and how it had changed him and given him hope.

Meeting The Groan

HandsReachingUpAs the people of God assemble today, may they receive the invigorating, equipping Word of God that will compel them to meet the groan of creation. That groan that is for those revealed as the authorized and empowered sons who release the compassion and power of the risen Christ to assuage the groan of that which is out from under the order of the King of Kings.
“[ Present distress is temporary and negligible ] In my opinion whatever we may have to go through now is less than nothing compared with the magnificent future God has planned for us. The whole creation is on tiptoe to see the wonderful sight of the sons of God coming into their own. The world of creation cannot as yet see reality, not because it chooses to be blind, but because in God’s purpose it has been so limited—yet it has been given hope. And the hope is that in the end the whole of created life will be rescued from the tyranny of change and decay, and have its share in that magnificent liberty which can only belong to the children of God! (Rom.8:18-21, JB Phillips)


The Giant And The Stone

StoneSlingshotThough the giant loomed large in the valley (1Sam.17:3-4), God had sent a shepherd boy over the top of the hill for the purpose of going down into that valley. An army did not take out the giant. A small smooth stone from an ordinary shepherd’s sling was all it took to end the giant’s career.
Something very ordinary ordained by God to be applied in a unique circumstance turned the tide for a nation. The faithful God of Israel still does business the same way He always has.

A Redemptive Hand Up

HelpingHandUpA redemptive act can also look like when the Lord instructed me to pray and make declarations over a certain massage parlor for two years. When visiting with pastors we had not seen in over 20 years, we discovered that they were rescuing women out of that very parlor over the last two years. Some of the women were as old as 50 and as young as 11. They take them to a safe house, lead them to Jesus, teach them the Word of God, teach them marketplace skills and help them get a job. They are redeeming those women, bringing them back from destruction and helping them get on with their life purpose.

Your Home #21

Mixed familyYour Home #21 – May your home be a place
of worship and devotion.

“It teaches us not to live against God and not to do the bad things the world wants to do. It teaches us to live on earth now in a wise and right way—a way that shows true devotion to God.” (Titus 2:12, ERV)

Redemptive Rescue

WomenSewingRedemptive acts can look like a U.S. businessman who went on a missions trip to Indonesia. When walking down the streets of a large inner city he noticed many women who were obviously captive in human trafficking. His heart was deeply moved for their plight and began asking the Lord what he could do to help turn things around for those women. The Lord put it on the man’s heart to open sewing centers around the city to teach those women to sew and while they are sewing, teach them about Jesus. He talks to U.S. companies and asks them to buy a pallet of sewing machines for Indonesia. He has gotten others involved in the vision and found local businesses to buy the clothes and has begun to make significant redemptive inroads into the human trafficking dilemma as redeemed women are becoming a legitimate part of the marketplace and the church in the inner city. There is room for both supernatural and practical in the redemptive Kingdom of God. There are times that, in order to deal with the intangible, we need to redemptively touch the tangible.

Bustin’ Through What Blocks

BustingThruWall
May the Lord grant you breakthrough in areas where it appears a roadblock has been thrown up in front of you, in areas where progress has stopped, where getting to resolve or to a goal is now prevented and you have no way through. May the blockage be broken through where you can’t get accomplished what you need to get accomplished.
“Your road won’t be blocked, and you won’t stumble when you run.” (Prov.4:12, CEV)

Reversing Destructive Effects

SunriseTreeHill
What exactly is a redemptive act and what does it look like? Everywhere
there is something destructive there is an opportunity for life, for the
power of the Kingdom (will, rule, authority) of God to be applied to
reverse the destructive effects (Lk.9:56; Jn.10:10; Col.1:13; 1Jn.3:8).

(This is the fourth excerpt from Marty’s article “THY Kingdom Come“ in SEEC Magazine.)

Jesus Redemptively Confronted Darkness

OrangeSkySun
The “THY” of “Thy Kingdom come” is Redeemer. Redemptive acts serve to bring people out of that which would be destructive. In the Gospels Jesus acted redemptively (Lk.10:9; 11:20) and His disciples/apostles acted in like manner (1Cor.2:4; 4:20; 1Thess.1:5). Jesus brought back from destruction the morally corrupt, the physically depleted and the hopelessly demonized. In the Gospels He redemptively confronted and contradicted darkness both tangibly and intangibly which His disciples/apostles also did in the Book of Acts.

With Scriptural Integrity

BibleGlobeWhen issues are pressed hard upon society through politics and the media, it becomes quite evident who, in the church and outside the church, is faithful to scriptural integrity and who is embracing the mores of the present culture. Issues and those who support or oppose them are polarizing people to take a stand more definitively for or against. But the Word of God on matters never changes position. Those who stand in opposition to the unfailing Word of God do so to their own detriment and find themselves on shifting sand (Matt.7:27).
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” (Matt.24:35, KJV)
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” (Isa.40:8, KJV)
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Heb.13:8, KJV)
“…the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js.1:17b, KJV)

THY Has Redemptive Character

HandReachingDown
The “THY” of “Thy Kingdom come” Has Redemptive Character. If we can call Jehovah God Almighty anything, we can call Him Redeemer. For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, and at last He [the Last One] will stand upon the earth. (Job 19:25, Amp; also Ps.19:14; 78:35; Isa.41:14; 63:16). His character is continually displayed in redemptive acts of many-layered wisdom (Eph.3:10) and they are displayed through His sons (Eph.3:10).

at KINGDOM CONGRESS 2018 March 7-9.)

THY Kingdom Come

SunMountainCloudsIn our Lord’s instruction to pray “Thy Kingdom come”, the “THY” is, of course, with reference to “Our Father which art in heaven” (Matt.6:10). After addressing the Father and worshiping the Father, then we ask Him for HIS Kingdom, HIS will to come in this earth. We are not wanting “a” kingdom or “any” kingdom but “THY” Kingdom with all that is implied in Whose Kingdom it is. In order to properly consider what HIS Kingdom is and what it is like, we must consider HIS character. His Kingdom (in and of Who He is) and the demonstration of it (through His sons—male and female) will not be minus HIS character. His character is redemptive.

Right Standing With God

PrayerWhitehouseCruz
May there arise within the heart of America a dissatisfaction and
weariness with unrighteousness and ungodliness and may there
be a turning to the truths of God’s Word, the Bible.

“Uprightness and right standing with God (moral and spiritual
rectitude in every area and relation) elevate a nation, but sin is
a reproach to any people.” (Prov.14:34, Amp)


MARTY GABLER brings an encouraging word in this 2 min. audio file.

Forgive And Rest

TwoWalkingTogether
Forgiveness, when wounded, is not based on “deserving” because we don’t want our forgiveness based on deserving!  I will forgive others for being wrong because I want forgiveness when I am wrong.  Matt 6:12, “and forgive us our sins, JUST AS we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.” (TLB) We can then rest in God’s wisdom to handle the matter.  God said vengeance is His, and you can trust Him with it! 

WOUNDS and painful experiences will come, but we can walk out the process of healing and be whole!

Positive Resolve Of Anger

CrutchFreeWe cannot deny we are angry and hurt when someone wounds us; and a desire for revenge is normal, maybe even justifiable.  But neither denial or justifiable revenge is positive resolve of anger.  For example: a husband with a roving eye continually wounds his wife.  She can deny her anger and it will affect her own mind and body eventually.   Or she can feel anything from an inadequate failure to pure rage, (and her feelings are understandable and justifiable).  Forgiveness will probably be the last thing on her mind.  WHY shouldn’t she hurt him in return?  Because His SIN would then CRIPPLE her!  Sin reveals a problem in the sinner – not in those he sins against. Why make His problem her problem?  Whatever other choices she must make in her individual situation, she can ultimately choose to forgive her husband and be released from the cycle of grief and pain.
