You Crown the Year With Your Bounty

Melissa Gabler—“You crown the year with your bounty, and your paths overflow.” (Ps. 65:11 AMP) “Crown” here is the Hebrew word “atar”. It means to encircle for protection. So, we really are tiptoeing into something big this year and we are protected as we approach our reveal. And let’s just top it off, “Your paths overflow” says this year is marked with abundance. The biggest fight we have at this point is truly believing our God is as good as He really is! 


Wilderness Training

Kathy Gabler—I believe the reason Jesus was led into the wilderness was because He was the prototype for wilderness training.  He went there as a son and left there as a son, and there’s no indication it took a long time in between!  Some keys we can take from His wilderness example will equip us: 1) It is difficult to be led by one thing while dominated by another.  So when you are in wilderness circumstances, don’t allow an orphan spirit or rebellious spirit to dominate your thinking.  Father will always see to it that  sons “are led by the Spirit” out of wildernesses to fulfillment and glory, but orphans and rebels are not thinking like sons and do not know how to be led of His Spirit.


Heaven Into Earth

Marty Gabler—Jesus had received a mandate from the Father to bring the government of heaven into the earth. He was to bring the unseen into the seen. Because of His time with the Father in prayer and His commitment to that mandate (Jn 5:19), he was able to speak the language of the Kingdom (Jn12:49). When Jesus ministered to the man at the pool of Bethesda He spoke language to the man which he had never heard (Jn5:8) and the result was liberation from a lifetime of infirmity. The language Jesus spoke was addition, multiplication, even creation. People are waiting to hear the language of life that is in Christ Jesus. Best thing to do is imitate Him.


War in the Atmosphere

Melissa Gabler — A reminder for 2025: don’t forget that a lot of what you are dealing with personally, whether it be physically or emotionally, may be the war in the atmosphere.  We have the authority to say “peace” because we are His agents.  When our Lord told the storm to “be still” the atmosphere listened.  We carry that same authority and it is our job to change the atmosphere during our lifetime.  So, the next time you are dealing with something personally let your first reaction be to remember there is so much more going on around you than your eyes can see.  Ask, “where is this coming from and how do I need to deal with it?” You may simply need to say, “Peace, be still.” 


Who is in Heaven

Kathy Gabler—Who is in heaven . . .“Our Father who is in heaven,” releases a son from any earthly father’s shortcomings.  There will be no hindrance in our conversation because of a father’s bad  mood or because of an earthly father’s personal guilt or distraction or misunderstanding or prejudiced opinion or unjust anger or mistaken views or lack of foresight.  His being in heaven declares His Divine Supremacy while removing all human limitations.  We are praying to a powerful Father, the Father who is situated above all, the Father who controls the universe, the Father who is almighty, the Father who is subject to none, the Father who prevails over all.  Praying as a son changes the posture, scope and expectations in prayer.


Holy Spirit Convicts of Unrighteousness

Marty Gabler–As the people of God assemble today may the Holy Spirit work by the Word of God to convict of unrighteousness and help us to align with righteousness and the plans and workings of our Lord in this season in the earth.  (Prov.12:28, Amp) “Life is in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), and in its pathway there is no death but immortality (perpetual, eternal life).”
