Victory Over Generational Curses

We are coming out of the defeat of generational curses and setting a victorious PromiseRainbowcourse for our generation and generations to come. We will enter into and possess promises that former generations never embraced.  Our merciful and caring God wants to deliver people from the diseases that their parents had such as heart disease, kidney disease, cancer, blood issues and mental issues as well as others. He wants to deliver people from out of the same rut a parent was in e.g., poverty, stubbornness, temper, anger, dependency on alcohol, drugs or personalities.  “For all of God’s promises find their “yes” of fulfillment in him. And as his “yes” and our “amen” ascend to God, we bring him glory!” (2Cor.1:20, TPT)


Welcome Changes

ManWipeBrow.jpgIf you are battle-weary, I believe the last quarter of this year will bring welcomed changes.  I’m not implying battles will stop suddenly and everybody goes on vacation.  I’m saying many long-term battles will end because you finally win.  “Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around” (MSG, Pro 13:12).  I expect some sudden good breaks in the months to come.  –Kathy Gabler


When Things Stack Up

When things begin to stack up on top of each other and a sense of panic begins stack_brickstrying to creep in, I think many of us either jump into a get-it-solved-by-any-means mode or have fallen back into a can’t-do-anything-about-it-so-why-try mode.  But in spite of the temptation to feel that He, who could do something about all of it immediately, has (“for some reason”) just chosen to add one more thing to our load, we will look expectantly for relief. Relief is on its way.  “Don’t add to my troubles.  Give me some relief!” (Jer.17:17, Msg)


A New Song

MSG_worship_GIC Sept2012“Sing to the Lord a new song” (Ps.96:1). Heb.: “something fresh, a new thing.” It is a song of spontaneity and delight. It may be something that has come to you after having passed thru a difficult time of testing.  You are the only one who can sing that new song to God because you are the only one who truly knows what God means to you. “Sing… with gratitude in your hearts to God” (Col.3:16)


Mourning and Comfort

SadMan.jpeg“Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be drawn into the Lord’s comfort.” (Matt.5:4)  It seems illogical that anyone would not welcome comfort. But comfort requires change and change is not always welcomed. As hard as grief is, change is sometimes harder. But wounds do not heal unless we receive comfort.—Kathy Gabler
