Mature Sons Who Bring Forth Mature Results

Kathy Gabler—Father God is initiating a maturing season that will bring forth mature sons who get mature results for the Glory of their Father.  When I read 2Cor. 10:3-6, this is what it says to me:  For though we are flesh and blood, when it comes to war we are not limited to physical frailties, human nature or human passions.  For the weapons and tools of our warfare are not fettered by mere human motives and passions with temporal effects.  Rather, we dismantle the powers of darkness by pulling down their conniving efforts to block our knowing God and His instruction that will cause us to prevail.  As we learn to pierce the piece God points out, we will see God-results.  Like our example, we will learn to merely do what He says do and watch God happen.


As a Body of Believers

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they draw on the strength that is in one another. May they not worship God as a bunch of individuals but as the body of believers and may they leave the meeting edified and strengthened by having been participants in loving on their God together.   “I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.” (Ps.22:22, NASB)


Keep Out Tendencies to Obsess

MARTY GABLER—Keep Out! #1–May the power of the Word of God and enablement of the Holy Spirit help us keep out tendencies to obsess over a judgment someone made against us in the past so that we might walk in the liberty and victory of the present.
Then I said, “God-of-the-Angel-Armies, you’re a fair judge.  You examine and cross-examine human actions and motives.  I want to see these people shown up and put down!  I’m an open book before you. Clear my name.” (Jer.11:20, Msg)


Opportunities, Timing and Connections

Melissa Gabler—The prophetic lifestyle opens opportunities, timing and connections.  Opportunities: having the ears to hear to be at the right place at the right time for yourself and others. Timing: none of us understand the timing of God because He is working on so many levels.  It takes a prophetic lifestyle to see beyond the limited vision of our normal dimensions. It can keep you sane where timing is concerned. Connection: Brings lives together for God team-ups, projects, events, etc.  We were never meant to do life alone (1 Corinthians 12:20-21).  In this day and age, this way of life is a total necessity for the body of Christ.

How we Deal With Anger

KATHY GABLER—Anger is a strong passion, which of itself is not sin; but we sin, or miss the mark, by how we DEAL with it, (Eph 4:26-32). We MUST resolve it according to Godly principles, and resolve it QUICKLY!  Ignoring anger does not make it go away. Anger is tangible, as literal as a hot coal. It will burn and destroy . . . health, relationships, opportunities, destiny.  Exploding in temper does not resolve anger because even after the bomb blows, it regenerates if there is no CHANGE of heart or issues!  Unresolved anger can change form until it is unrecognizable.  It can become a witty cynicism.  If my jokes and remarks make people laugh the anger doesn’t seem so dangerous!  But anger can anchor GRIEF to our lives!


Possibilities and Regrets

MARTY GABLER—Would-a, should-a, could-a… ah, those little nagging possibilities and regrets. They are those things that chase away sleep while the mind races and the heart thumps away at an accelerated rate because you feel dumb and have come to the undeniable conclusion that you would have just been better off if you had never gotten out of bed this morning. Right at that point is when you feel lower than a caterpillar’s belly in a wagon rut.  Just a few days ago you felt ten feet tall in the Spirit and now you have to tiptoe to reach the doorknob.
As a mentor told me many years ago, “Forgive yourself and go on.”  Go back to believing what your Lord says about you. Go back and stand on those promises–and it probably wouldn’t hurt to do a little speaking in tongues while you are at it. HE Who raised up Abraham and Sarah and made of them a great people; HE Who raised up Israel after captivity will raise you up again! Forget the would-a, should-a, could-a’s. It’s time to remember The Rock.
“Hearken to Me, you who follow after rightness and justice, you who seek and inquire of [and require] the Lord [claiming Him by necessity and by right]: look to the rock from which you were hewn and to the hole in the quarry from which you were dug; (Isa.51:1, Amp)


Is Abundant Life Guaranteed?

MELISSA GABLER—Look at this, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) The first half of this verse is substandard and the second half is premium.  I am always drawn to that word “might” in this passage. That tells me abundant life is not a guarantee.  It’s not a guarantee to those that are asleep because their life is ruled by substandard, unclean fear.  If we don’t wake up we can’t operate in the abundance.


Seeking to Separate

KATHY GABLER—Ultimately a spirit of division seeks to separate God’s creation from God’s Original Intent so that the plans of God fall in history and fail to come to pass. This spirit is stupid enough to set itself against Almighty God and tenacious enough to try anything.  Besides working to separate people and make relationships dysfunctional, it is working against our foundational values and beliefs.  One blatant example is how this spirit is actively attempting to divide freedom from truth.  John 8:32 tells us, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  There is an undeniable link between truth and freedom.  It’s not that truth automatically sets everyone free, it is when we KNOW the truth.  That means when we are aware of the truth, it will make us free.  Truth that we KNOW will liberate or deliver or exempt us from liability.  If people are unaware of truth they can live in total ignorance and live as captives of lies and erroneous beliefs and cunning deceit.  In recent times we have watched deluded people project freedom to be extremes of entitlement and destructive chaos.  Only a self-absorbed and warped mind believes freedom to be totally unrestrained, unaccountable and anything-goes behavior.  Only darkened minds believe they are free when they are captives to misbeliefs and lies. (Isa 44:20 says that a deluded mind cannot even question the lie in his own hand.) When the United States of America declared its independence, our forefathers declared we were no longer subject to the influence or control of another government’s tyranny or its oppressive injustice or its single ruler with absolute power.  The success of this nation’s launching was in the first four words of the Declaration of Independence:  “We hold these truths . . .”   They knew truth to be essential for genuine freedom, and we likewise know freedom  must be in continual covenant with truth.

Infused With True Grit

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today may they be infused with true grit and be inspired to be willing to go the distance many others are not; be willing to face what many others are not; be willing to resist what many others are not; be willing to do what many others are not. May each one be infused with determination for the King and His Kingdom that is born of higher stuff than mere stubbornness. Rom.12:11-12, TPT — “Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him. 12 Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.”


Lord, Grant Recovery

MARTY GABLER–May the Lord grant His people recovery from time spent in ill health; and restore lost strength, lost income and lost time.  Jer.33:6,EB—“But then I will bring health [recovery] and healing to the people there. I will heal them and let them enjoy [reveal to them] great [an abundance of] peace and safety [security].”


Resurrection Power was Unleashed

MELISSA GABLER—The day resurrection power was unleashed on earth was the day our life’s intention was set in place. We were born to seek out the reality of heaven and live it here – “…seek and keep on seeking and you will find“ Matt. 7:7, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matt. 6:10. Earth and the humans God placed in it were not a gamble that He hoped would work out in His favor. His fingers are not crossed. His ultimate plan has dominion in its DNA and that’s a ticking time bomb the enemy is trying to disarm. That ultimate plan is us, made in His image. The clock is ticking down to the enemy’s demise and that is why things are full on insane and only heating up.


What Comes From Walking in Relationship With Jesus?

KATHY GABLER — What comes from walking in relationship with Jesus?


Be Made Strong

Marty Gabler —


Time to Possess our Inheritance

MELISSA GABLER


Until They See the Kingdom

KATHY GABLER—Let’s find insight in one of Jesus’ examples of the Power of the Kingdom in Mark 9.  In verse 1, Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”  In Mar 9:2, six days later, three of them did see it. Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain.  His appearance changed from the inside out, right before their eyes, and His garments became radiant laser-white, and Elijah and Moses showed up to talk with Jesus.  Right before their eyes, Jesus was glowing and was transfigured beyond anything humanly possible.  Beyond that, He was suddenly in the company of two prophets from Old Testament history, so the disciples definitely got an impression, realization and a foretaste of POWER! 


My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me

MARTY GABLER — As the people of God assemble today may they each realize that they are a child of our Heavenly Father’s big family and that we, together, have a great big wonderful Father. These are lyrics to a song I sang as a solo in church many times when I was young. It has always been one of my favorites.
“My Heavenly Father Watches Over me”
1. I trust in God wherever I may be,
upon the land or on the stormy sea;
for come what may, from day to day,
my heav’nly Father watches over me.

Refrain:
I trust in God, I know He cares for me,
on mountain bleak or on the stormy sea.
Though billows roll, He keeps my soul,
my heav’nly Father watches over me.


May Father’s Hope Abound Above all Else

MARTY GABLER–Prayer & Declare #14—Today I am asking, Father, for your hope to abound beyond all that comes to my ears and all that I see with my eyes. May your hope and peace enable me to align my thoughts with your unfailing Word so I might rise above all those things.
I declare that as hopelessness and despair attempt to take a high place in my thoughts that your blessed assurance will outpace those distracting considerations.  I will believe the report of the Lord.  Phil.4:8, Amp “For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].”


Season of Fear Dumping

MELISSA GABLER—The Holy Spirit prompted me to ask for a season of “Fear Dumping”. Then I saw a picture of a chronic cycle just about at its start over place, but this time there was a button readily available to be pushed called “Fear Dump”. When we make the choice to push that button, all of the fear driving that cycle will be dumped causing that cycle to end! A season of fear dumping is upon us, PUSH THAT BUTTON! “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2Tim.1:7, NKJV)


Focus on “God Said”

MARTY GABLER–Nothing is birthed and the flames of gifting fade away when we take our focus off “God said” and place it on our inner doubts and struggles. Those doubts are fed by the detractor and those he enlists. What God promises, He also performs. The “how” of it is not our concern. It is God’s and it is no problem (cf.Heb.11:3). Cf.”Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart (Ps.37:3-4).”


Step Into Simple Trust

Kathy Gabler—Exasperation is only on our side of any situation. Exasperation always boils down to our focus.   Our focus is the desperate need, the unanswered prayers, and the injustice that we feel.  And the tormenting factor that is at the root of all of that, is fear.  And fear is complex. It is a fear of loss and a fear of unbearable consequences and at the same time a fear of personal failure. The only antidote is to move our focus to God who does not fear.  He sees much more than the details that torment us. And His nature and character do not change or bend under the weight of threats.  The only way to step out of exasperation is to step into simple trust. God knows the details. God cares. And God will do what ever is possible to be done concerning our concerns.


The Earth is the Lord’s

MELISSA GABLER—We are being awakened to the fact that the earth is the Lord’s and everything and everyone in it (Ps. 24). It’s not something God is just going to hand over, destroy and start over again. Resurrection, which is power over death, was demonstrated on this earth, there’s no giving up or turning back. The end is settled and we have the most phenomenal opportunity to participate in it.


Time for the Wound to be Healed

KATHY GABLER—A lady told me about a dream.  In the dream her son who is thirty was ten years old.  A snake was wrapped around his leg and it had bitten him.  The wound was below his knee and was bleeding and swollen.  She was afraid the dream was a warning of something bad about to happen to him.  However, the key to understanding the dream was her son’s age.  The issue was a historical wound because her son was a child again.  The wound he had obviously received at the age of ten was still not healed and had undoubtedly affected his walk in life or crippled part of his soul since that age.  I explained to her that God was calling her to intercession and agreement with His desire to address and heal this old issue of the heart. Tears came to her eyes suddenly as the significance was clear.  Her son’s father had left the family when the boy was ten years old.  God was saying its time for that wound to be healed so it will stop affecting his walk and destiny.

No Time to Stop Preparations

MARTY GABLER—There is no time or place for the present generation to stop preparations for the future—not even under duress. Simon Purvis tells of the ancient Romans who planted trees for structures and projects that future generations would build. They would plant a certain tree knowing that it would require many years before it could be harvested. They planted a variety of trees that would mature at various times and have various wood-densities to meet the needs of the future. The general mindset of the present generation appears to be to use up whatever we can (money, resources, people) to get through our lifetime. Watching an ad on TV recently, a picture of an infant came across the screen. The message read, “The best time to prepare for his future is 100 years before he is born.” In late winter, people begin preparing for a spring garden but they cease that preparation when the shoots begin to come up. They prepare a house for painting by scraping and priming but they stop the preparation when they begin to put on the paint. There is, however, never a point at which we cease preparing for future generations no matter what philosophical or eschatological paradigm is favored at this point of history. David prepared for Solomon and it is recorded that Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established. (1Ki 2:12) In comparison, Saul just used the present generation (1Sam.8:11-17). In those seven verses, the phrase “he will take” is used six times. (Also Prov.6:6-8; 13:22) It was David’s throne that was promised to last for generations. Is it any wonder that Saul’s did not?


Shaken Out of Slumber

Melissa Gabler—Many times I have heard that awakening is coming. Let me add that, more recently, I have been hearing words about not only awakening coming to the nations but to the church.  Well, that also sounded really good and I have been all for that too! Still, being transparent, I wasn’t quite getting it yet.  Sometimes it’s easy to point the finger at a church I think isn’t awake.  I just know the Holy Spirit is like, “Aww, bless her heart. She thinks she’s awake!” Then He graciously begins to shake me out of my slumber and I can only fall silent in amazement.  For this reason He says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.” (Ephesians 5:14 AMP)
