Peace, the Unshakeable Knowing

KATHY GABLER— Our God said  that  He would give us peace, the unshakeable knowing that God will have the last word on every matter!   Peace is the mark of a mature son of God.  It is not only possible to view every struggle and opposition in life as the next advance, the next opportunity to take spoils and prosper, it glorifies God to do so!  We can put on our Ephesians 6 boots of peace daily.  We can sleep in those boots and get up ready to walk over every obstacle!


What is the Month of November For?

MARTY GABLER—What is the month of November for? Feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels in 2026? November is for Getting Traction. Ps.94:18,ESV; Prof.4:25,Msg

God-Ordained Days Ahead

MELISSA GABLER— Even though the sky is clearing there may be a storm or two that pops up as we head into the God-ordained days ahead. No worries though, the storms have to “be still” and bow to the intention of God Almighty. In prayer the other night I heard this after it came out of my mouth, “Your Kingdom is over this nation and you are releasing another increment upon us.” What if we are that increment?! What if we are the stealth measures He is putting in place to release a deeper increment of His Kingdom on this earth? Me thinks we are!  (Melissa is speaking Sat.

Miracles and Asking “Why?”

KATHY GABLER—Miracles And Asking “Why?” — God does so much; there are so many elements in a miracle. I have been praying for two years, “God, help me to start connecting the dots. I want to see you. I want to learn your ways. Help me to connect the dots.” When I was little I got spankings for asking, “Why?” Many people say, “Oh, don’t ever ask God, ‘Why?’.” I don’t agree with that. If you are asking “Why?” in accusation, then it would just be better to be quiet. But if you are asking “Why?” to learn His ways, I say He will show you His ways.  “He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.” Ps103:7


Time For Harvest

MARTY GABLER—I declare that it is time for harvest in our lives, our churches and in our nation. It is time for harvest of that which has been long awaited–the victories that our Lord has been cultivating in us during times of trial, pressing onward and endurance. We have not faced what we have faced and wrestled with what we have wrestled with and stood through testing for nothing. God has plowed and planted His Word into our lives. He has used people, circumstances and time to work His character into our lives. It will all yield its harvest in this age before the coming of our Lord. All the afore mentioned factors have been growing and maturing in us for a harvest that brings glory to Jehovah in this earth.


God Intends to Align

Melissa Gabler—With one word God intends to align what has been out of line.  With one word He intends to right the wrongs.  With one word he intends to do what He had in mind all along. This word “radical” has become my one word declaration over many situations and people. It’s one word, but it says it all! Right here in the middle of some of the most chaotic days of most of our lives, God says one word — one very loaded and life-changing word.  It might seem like the end of all things, but fear not.  We are about to see the radical that has been happening behind the scenes. We might think we have seen radical happening already. Nope, we are about to see radical for real.  Isaiah 55:11 (His word will accomplish what He pleases) is a truth that we will see manifest in our day.  How so? Radically.  No need in any of us trying to figure out how, for whom, or even when. God’s radical is a steam engine barreling down the track building speed. Let’s just get out of the way. To you and your family I say, “radical!” To the United States of America, one nation under God, I say, “RADICAL!”

Stealth Mode Weapons

KATHY GABLER—Stealth Mode Weapons — Another stealth mode weapon that had long term effect in my life kept me focused on rules instead of relationship until I realized that God is not looking for perfect Christians but sons who will hold firmly to their sonship.  Look at the weapon formed against us as the church with the implication that our salvation is based on perfect behavior.  That misconception, that our salvation pivots on behavior rather than the cross, is a slap in the face of Christ, yet is widely embraced as though it were the gospel.  The cross is the pivot of our salvation.  Righteous behavior is a result of centering on the finished works of Christ.  The inordinate priority of legal and illegal behavior is a weapon, a religious misbelief that God is grading behavior to measure righteousness.  Instead, God is looking for sons who cannot be talked out of their righteousness, sons who will not be manipulated by fear and legalism, sons who will not be robbed by condemnation.  A son does not believe more in his ability to fail than in his relationship with his Father.  That kind of trust will enable mature sons to take the fuse out of any bomb thrown.


Fellowship and Relationship

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they realize the fellowship and relationship they are part of. May they gain strength from that realization and lean on one another and support one another so that burdens are made lighter. “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;” (Eph.2:19, KJV)

Left Different Than I Came

MARTY GABLER—It was so good to be with the Body of Christ, in the corporate worship (I heard several people say that they felt like they were being bathed in warm water) and to be challenged and inspired by the excellent messages. I can truly say that I left differently than I came. Monday night, a couple came forward at the end for ministry. At the end of ministering to them, the lady asked if she could pray for me. I gladly responded that I would appreciate it. A heaviness, I did not realize I was bearing for the past year, left. It was as though a great weight lifted from my chest and I have been light-hearted since! Wednesday night, at the end of the meeting, another couple came forward. After I ministered a word to them, they told me they had a word for me. It was verbatim what I had so hoped I would hear at the conference and it brought me so much hope! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Much appreciation to all the FMCI leadership who put in so much time in getting it all together and also to the pastors, staff and great folks of Grace Church Willis.


Invitation to Something Incredible

MELISSA GABLER — It is all starting to make sense why this awakening is so intense.  We have the opportunity to move from a substandard life to a premium life if we will embrace this alarm and not press the snooze button! This moment really is an invitation to something incredible.  This is an invitation to enter into and function from the fear of the Lord for the sake of the Kingdom and for His glory.  I really like the sound of that.  I really want to live that.

Harassment Not Random



KATHY GABLER—While writing this article, I was interrupted by the insurance lady. When I went back to the computer, this article file would not open again!  Finally, after many attempts and maneuvers, it opened. Then, in broad daylight, a roach ran up the slick metal tube leg of my TV tray and on to my computer screen!  You have to know me to fully appreciate the adrenaline implosion and the level of harassment that bodacious devil represented! (At that point I figured I must be on the verge of divulging one of hell’s favorite operations with this threshold interference ploy!) Of course, I had to stop writing to vacuum under everything that could be moved and then exterminate the house to build up enough nerve to go back to the computer.  It was frustrating and the thought actually passed through my mind to put the whole subject down and walk away, but I suddenly realized the timing of this personal-harassment-roach was not a random coincidence! When I could breathe normally and was over my terror, I realized personal harassment and interference are like a double-barrel shot gun.  Interference works on circumstances and harassment works on us.  Both are fighting dirty in an attempt to condition our thinking and attitudes and opinions and conclusions with the ultimate goal of taking advantage of our superpower which is agreement.


No Weapon Formed

MARTY GABLER—There is no weapon in all of hell’s arsenal that is marked “Sure ‘Nuff Christian Killer.” “No weapon forged against you will prevail (Isa.54:17).”  There is no diabolical demon on the lower level of hell behind a great steel and concrete door marked “Big Bad Christian Crusher.” There just simply is no such thing. Indeed he has come to “steal, to kill and to destroy (Jn.10:10)” but he cannot unless we fall for his propaganda and give in to his deception.
(Marty Gabler from his book “Sheep Have Short Legs”.)


Our Place in the Upcoming Future

MELISSA GABLER—As we move forward with tenacity and God frustrates the devices of the wicked, we will each begin to see our place in the upcoming future. Let me go a little farther regarding this place we will hold by mentioning the wealth transfer in Proverbs 13:22 that’s about to get real!  I’ve heard about the wealth transfer from sinner to the just all of my life, but I’ve never seen it like I do now.  The reason the rest of this year is so important is because the great wealth transfer is not about someone just handing money to us.  It’s about taking the place of the wicked and possessing the land for the Kingdom of God.  Remember those seven mountains we have talked about for years?  It’s about us taking the empty spots on those mountains after God deals out Job 5:12.  Those that fought at Iwo Jima were part of the generation that has been labeled “The greatest”.  Let’s be tenacious and lay hold of the grace that is readily available to us to be the greatest Kingdom generation yet!


Key Insights About Weapons


KATHY GABLER—Key Insights About Weapons — Dear Self, Individual and Family, this promise is to you also.  Isaiah 54, as stated another way in The Message:  “If anyone attacks you, don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them, And if any should attack, nothing will come of it. . .  but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what GOD’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” GOD’s Decree.   There are key insights in this passage about a weapon: 1) If we believe it is from God, we might as well take up the weapon and shoot ourselves!  We shoot down the promise if we agree with a weapon on the basis of deserving the hit because of guilt or failure or mistakes or punishment.  Who needs an enemy when we are so capable of wrongly accusing our God and taking up weapons against our selves?  2) This promise assures us that ultimately the prepared weapon of attack will not have success and will not do us damage.  If we understand this, it will keep us from panic that causes us to do ourselves damage in the mean time.  3) We have to think like our God to grasp His promises.  God always sees long-range.  We focus on the immediate hit, but His promise here reaches to heritage and the eventual working out of everything for good.  That makes it plain that our disappointments concerning promise come from our giving up before the promise has finished its course.  (I’m thinking the only weapons with a possibility of success are those that land in our panic, fear, guilt or impatience.)   martygabler.com


Don’t Give in to the Chaos

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today their hearts will receive the peace and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and will not give in to the chaos being created by the powers of darkness. Therefore, they will take hope and act upon the Word of God and live and walk in His righteous Kingdom order. 1Cor.14:33,TPT—“For God is the God of harmony, not confusion, as is the pattern in all the churches of God’s holy believers.” Jn.14:27,TPT—“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!”

You Can Change Things From Where You Are

MELISSA GABLER — We/YOU carry what our nation and the world needs, and you can change things from where you are at this moment. God used a remnant of people time and time again to make big changes. He’s God, a tiny dose of His power can turn this thing upside-down! Our new motto for the middle of 2026 and beyond: As goes the remnant, so goes the nation.

Gates God Builds


KATHY GABLER—Sometimes a gate God builds is not a welcomed sight.  It looks like a risk to us or a scary unknown.  We feel like we have the option to decide to just stay safely within our fence and familiar boundaries.   The problem is that if we ignore the gates, we are locking ourselves into tradition just like the Pharisees.  We rarely see ourselves as Pharisees, but we too build personal traditions of men through the way we personally process instruction or the way we establish our own priorities or the way we come to our personal conclusions.  Our thought processes and priorities and conclusions are filters that can literally keep us from hearing what God is saying and thereby keep us refusing to acknowledge the Holy Spirit’s direction in our daily life.  So, “you make the word of God of none effect through your tradition, (KJV).  And you ignore God’s commands in order to follow your own teaching. “(CEV) Mark 7:13


Words that Fall to the Ground

MARTY GABLER—Let us be careful what we say. The Lord doesn’t want what we speak falling to the ground. (1Sam.3:19) “Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.” (Ps. 141:3, Amp)


Whether it Becomes Part of Your Identity

MELISSA GABLER—Could Arthritis – Heart Disease – Osteoporosis – Alzheimer’s – Diabetes – Cataracts – etc. come from: bitterness, unforgiveness, stress, hatred, an orphan spirit, self-hatred, fear of abandonment, anger, rage, resentment, envy, double mindedness, doubt and unbelief, oppression, heaviness, fear of rejection, rebellion, guilt , etc.? Another side note regarding family genetics.  Genetics are not a definite.  You are simply pre-disposed to them. It’s your choice whether it becomes a part of your identity or not. (Dr. Caroline Leaf) These things just might be the root of what we are dealing with rather than just an unlucky recipient of the after effects of free radicals, or bad blood.  Also, let me say this right here, the devil can only play with what’s already at play.


Change the Future

KATHY GABLER—Rebuilding the temple in Haggai parallels our mandate in the New Testament, “Seek first the Kingdom of God,” because He was telling them: 1) Put ME first daily, 2) be determined to know Me and honor Me daily and 3) submit to MY government, MY authority, MY purpose, MY call, MY plans and MY order for your life . . . DAILY.  Grow into a mature son.  Change the future by learning how and where you were created to succeed.


Walk Free in Christ

MARTY GABLER–As the people of God assemble today, may delusions and lies be defeated, and their minds be opened to the transforming truths of the Holy Bible; and may they discover keys from God’s Word to the defeating, distracting things that bind so that they walk out free in Christ Jesus. “Open my mind and let me discover the wonders of your Law.” (Ps.119:18, CEV)
