KATHY GABLER—I pray release right now for those who are gifted, called, anointed and skilled for life purpose, yet are walking unfulfilled because of misguided expectancy.Expectancy falls short if “be fruitful and multiply” only means duplication or mass production.Expectancy is short-circuited if we are determined to fit the mold of a previous model.Expectancy is distorted if it is influenced by personal issues like a need for attention or affirmation or acceptance.Expectancy is diseased if it is driven by fear or shame or pride.So, let’s cooperate with Father as He breaks the thought patterns that lead to misguided expectancy so that we successfully break out of life cycles of frustration and disappointment.
KATHY GABLER—Our Lord commanded us to choose life (Deut.30:19). You’d think that goes without saying.Who, in their right mind, wouldn’t choose life? It sounds simple, but it actually can get complex and difficult, because the first challenge is listening to your spirit instead of your soul!Your spirit is where His Spirit dwells, so choosing life starts with pulling from His Truth and Wisdom instead of how we feel because of throbbing pain or blinding fear or understandable anger.Besides extreme emotions, choices from the soul can be under the influence of squirrelly thinking or deception or bad moods.We have to work past the soul to the spirit to choose life.
KATHY GABLER—Let’s get down to some ground–level grit.It is God that brings (leads, influences, carries, persuades) sons to glory.The sons’ part is to overcome through the process of getting there. Opposition is anything that contradicts the Word, will or character of God in our lives.In John 14:30, Jesus pointed out one major source of opposition was“the ruler of this world.” Your adversary, the devil, will oppose you continually.Though the glory of God may have never been in the forefront of your thinking before now, it has been number one priority with the devil all along. He is afraid you will do what you were born to do.

KATHY GABLER—Our God of the impossible is not limited or defeated by facts and history. Our Redeemer can and will override history if we dare to trust Him and cooperate with Him. Whether it is in conversation or just a passing thought, God help us to realize in the moment when we are hearing contradictions to the will of our Father or perceiving evil threats or discerning assignments from hell so that those things are not left unconfronted!
MARTY GABLER—As the people of God Almighty assemble today, may they speak and express to one another their commitments to faithfully stand by the tenets of faith of God’s Word and to faithfully stand by one another even as their faithful God has stood by His covenant. “He always stands by his covenant— the commitment he made to a thousand generations.” (Ps.105:8, NLT)
MARTY GABLER—We must speak prophetically to challenges. The sons and daughters of God must have a mindset that is prophetic. The prophetic mind thinks on the same scale that God Almighty thinks on. God does not speak “ant” language; He speaks “giant” language. Jesus was thinking, “We can feed these 5,000 people.” (Jn.6) Someone had to be available to go with what Jesus already knew He would do. Jesus already knows what He will do in our families, churches, cities and nation. He is looking for prophetic capacity for the purpose of prophetic declaration and participation.
MELISSA GABLER—If God cloaks something for a time, it is not only to hide it from the devil and his destructive minions, but it is also to hide it from our own self-sabotage. Yes, the devil and self-sabotage are two different things.However, the devil LOVES stoking the flames of self-sabotage! All we have to do is let our fears and concerns fall out of our mouths like kindling for the enemy’s threatening bonfire.So many times we make the devil’s job so easy.
KATHY GABLER—As you look back and close out the year, you may be one of those folks who kept a daily journal and accounting of the details of life. Or, your accounting may simply be memories highlighted for the moment or forever, but all of us have matters that mattered this year as we laid our heads down each night and then awoke to face them again the next morning. There is no closing the books, no relief, on unresolved matters whether they concern healing or relationships or circumstances or finances. Even if we don’t note them in a journal or speak of them, still they sit in the silence of the night and trouble our hearts. That’s the reason that we, like David in Psalm 56, must lean into our God, the Great Accountant who can and will balance the books and bring us to peace of mind. “You’ve kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book.” Psa 56:8 (MSG). Remembering He is there and aware and that He will take action in our behalf, we can trust Him by breathing out a grateful sigh over 2025 and breathing in hope for 2026.
