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.
(MELISSA will be speaking at the SEEC PAK Meeting which is Nov.6-7,2026 at Grace Church Willis.

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)
Issachar Is Crucial
MARTY GABLER—Issachar Is Crucial—The presence of and interaction with Issachar persons is crucial at this time. Their presence and active voice are required in all the seven mountains of culture. The ability of Issachar, the blessing, the anointing is in the Spirit of the Lord and we may ask and receive in ample portion. “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.” (Isa 11:2) Seeing that we end up with the knowledge and likeness of those we spend much time with, we should press in to the Presence of God and be renewed in the Holy Spirit. Our overcoming now, and in the seemingly shifting future, is in our relationship with the Holy Spirit who is heaven’s delegate in the earth (Jn16:13-15).
What You Believe
Melissa speaking at Grace Church Willis–“You are currently living what you believe. What you believe shows up in your attitude, conversation, body, and the atmosphere around you (home and family).” “Are your beliefs based on society’s experiences or on Kingdom promises?” “If we don’t know the truth, we will be taken out by a lie.”
God’s Pleasure – To Give us the Kingdom
KATHY GABLER—Adam and Eve lived in righteousness, peace and joy which is the Kingdom of God, (Rom 14:17) and here’s the really best news of the day: it’s the Father’s good pleasure to give us that Kingdom (Lk.12:32)! Since it is the Father’s good pleasure to GIVE us the Kingdom, He gives us Righteousness, Peace and Joy and we develop a Kingdom lifestyle by learning to walk in what He’s given us. It flows like this: 1) He gives us Righteousness as a gift and then the daily Kingdom lifestyle challenge is refusing to let that righteousness be shaken or forsaken because of condemnation. If condemnation can take you to the mat, that’s a signal you’re looking to your own righteousness instead of the gift God gave. 2) He gives us Peace which carries exemption from emotional havoc in war. Peace is not exemption from war but from the emotional damage during war. So the daily Kingdom lifestyle challenge is to go on to sleep in the boat while the storm rages. 3) He gives us Joy by beautifully giving us so many reasons to be glad. Then the daily Kingdom lifestyle challenge is to calm down and be delighted. (Of course, that’s easier sometimes than others and easier for some people than others)
Time and Opportunities
MARTY GABLER—May we not focus on the loss of time and opportunities as we head into the last quarter of this year. But may we focus on Him Who is faithful and desirous to get us to appointed times and purposes and may He help us not to sabotage what He is working in us. “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” (Ps.138:8, NKJV)
Plan A or Plan B
MELISSA GABLER—This is the time to loose your grasp on plan B and take hold, with both hands, of plan A — Father’s original intent for your life. If your answer is hidden, ask God what the right question is in this moment. Ask Him what, in you, might be hindering the answer. Ask Him what you need to know today. He’s got plans for you, He is not into punishing you. His M.O. is all about forgiveness, redemption, relationship, and promotion, all for His glory. Hey, if He tells you it’s simply about timing then it’s really that simple. His timing is perfect. Look at the birth and life of Samuel. Perseverance is key! It’s going to be an amazing time heading into next year. Get ready for your answers.
Winning War or Just Surviving
KATHY GABLER—The key difference between winning war and merely surviving is our beliefs and attitudes, and both start in our thinking. That’s why God was trying to change Judah’s thinking and focus (Hag.1:5-9). Rebuilding the temple would change their future. Rebuilding the temple would set their priorities in order and break the cycle they were in. Rebuilding the temple was about vision and purpose. When we have vision of a future that is different, better and beyond today’s limitations, we can muster the passion and zeal to take ground and get to change.
Escape Faults
MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may each one look beyond opportunities to dwell on and point out the faults of others. May each one pray for the other that their faults not overcome them but that they escape faults and shortcomings and be blessed for the purposes of the Lord and the blessing of others. “and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been called for this very purpose, that you might inherit a blessing [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection].” (1Pe.3:9, Amp)
The Faults of Others
MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may each one look beyond opportunities to dwell on and point out the faults of others. May each one pray for the other that their faults not overcome them but that they escape faults and shortcomings and be blessed for the purposes of the Lord and the blessing of others. “and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been called for this very purpose, that you might inherit a blessing [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection].” (1Pe.3:9, Amp)
Worship and “Sacred Location”
MARTY GABLER—Worship is not something that takes place in a “sacred location” or “sacred building” or “sacred ceremony”. Worship is a way of living before God as well as offering songs, readings, wave offerings and other such acts of adoration. The true worshiper deals honestly and openly with God at all times, not just in certain locations or at special times. (Jn.4:23) ”But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.” (Jn.4:23, Amp)

Participate in Resurrection Life
MELISSA GABLER—One way to participate in resurrection life is to speak what the Holy Spirit is telling you. This isn’t about having a microphone at church, this is about daily life. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” (Proverbs 18:21) Jesus is a perfect example of how powerful words are. We have that same power in us and it’s time to shift atmospheres with our words.
The Variables in Life
KATHY GABLER—We would rather have a list of absolutes about everything, but I suspect God leaves the variables in life on purpose because the only way to process them to meaning and worth is through relationship with Him.
