May the Lord enable you to get many things done today and may they be done successfully, easily and cheaply. May you check off many tasks on your to-do list and be satisfied. “…They knew that this work was completed with the help of our God.” (Neh.6:16, CEB)

Fresh obedience is doing what we see the Father doing today (Jn.5:19). That could be as radical as healing a woman in the synagogue on the sabbath, in the presence of those who think the time and place are totally inappropriate. That could be as revolutionary as taking over the weather and stopping a storm in order to complete a specific mandate on the other side of the lake. (Fourth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

A prophetic church does not run for a safe bunker and begin praying for escape from the planet every time another threat comes from some despot in the Middle East. That church does not tremble and 
fret because its favorite political party is not in the White House. It is not a church reciting prayers while on the run. It is an offensive army on the march; taking territory from the “ites” and pulling down strongholds. The prophetic church does warfare by revelation. A people who seeks their God for a battle plan will win the war (cf.2Sam.5: 22-25; Dan.11:32; Joel2:11).” A wise man attacks the city of the mighty and pulls down the strong-hold in which they trust (Prov. 21:22).” We don’t physically attack cities or people but we bring prayer and declarations against the strongholds of evil institutions (2Cor.10:3-5).

For several years we have heard the church will not look the same in the future. The one clarity in that proclamation is that change is coming. The only way to embrace the right changes is to follow the specific directives of the Holy Spirit in our place of purpose. The result will be new models emerging. (Kathy Gabler)

As the people of God look toward the months ahead, may they incline their ears to hear the wisdom of the Word of God. May they seek that wisdom like silver and like hidden treasure. May they adjust their thinking and declarations to align with the Wisdom of the Ages and may those around them benefit as well. “He hides away sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the righteous…” (Prov.2:7a, Amp)

We prophesy the enemy’s defeat not only in speech but also in song. We not only prophesy the greatness of our God in speech but also in song. The singing voice is the joyous voice. The singing voice is the victorious voice. Paul and Silas sang the praises of God, not until the jailer shook, but, until the earth shook. Their praises brought their liberty. “But as for me, I will sing of Your mighty strength and power; Yes, I will sing joyfully of Your lovingkindness in the morning; For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress.” (Ps.59:16, Amp)

We all have paradigms and they are in our mental files and they affect our choices and our expectations. So, the challenge is to realize when our examples and typical patterns need adjustment. That realization does not come by focusing on the pattern, but rather by following the Holy Spirit. The adjustments will come and we will build newer models as we walk in fresh obedience to the Holy Spirit. Fresh obedience will never contradict God’s principles nor His character, but it may reach past known borders and it will not bow to former limitations. (Second excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

A paradigm is simply an example or a typical pattern. We all have them in our mental files and they affect our choices and our expectations. They become our standard or ruler to measure rightness or success. These former models or expected patterns can set our goals and be our driving force whether we realize it or not. For example, we go to church and expect to find the model we have known in the past. Even if that model is flawed or should be changing, maturing and growing, we measure its rightness by the known pattern.
We must keep in mind that paradigms come from experience. That means they were built in a past season or a specific situation or a particular set of circumstances; and just as seasons, situations and circumstances change, it is likely that our paradigms will have to adjust. If they don’t, former examples and patterns will continue to drive us even when obedience or excellence would go a different path. (First excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

Prayer & Declare—We pray, Father, that you will move in our hearts by your eternal Word to show us our liberty in Christ Jesus that will keep us free and turn hearts toward you. I declare, today, my independence from the mind that is enmity toward God Almighty. I declare independence from dead works and lifeless observances in order that I might effectively serve the ever-living God. “How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His] eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God?” (Heb.9:14, Amp)

While thinking about recent events I had to deal with, the scripture Isaiah 54:17 “no weapon formed against you will prosper” came up again. This time, however, I saw it differently. I think a lot of times this is used as a defensive scripture when really it is an offensive scripture. God equips us for the weapon BEFORE, not after, it is formed against us. The reason the weapon doesn’t prosper is because He already set countermeasures in place prior to its launch. He already equipped you with everything necessary to walk out of this battle in tact. That, my friends, is an offensive scripture loaded for battle! (Melissa Gabler)

The month of OCTOBER IS FOR MOVING FORWARD IN PATHS that our Lord has ordained for us to be effective and fulfilled in. Those factors which have previously blocked progress are being removed. Distractions are fading and the fruit of a faithful walk is coming into view. “We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to his life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in his fullness!” (Col.1:10, TPT)
