To Knock the Wind out of You

If the detractor cannot knock you completely out of the race, he wants the wind and confidence knocked out of you so that your performance is hindered. It would be somewhat like a high performance racecar driver pulling in for a pit stop and saying, “Don’t put much gas in the tank and don’t put on any new tires because I don’t deserve it the way I’ve been driving.” Cf.”For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through Him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ (2Co.1:20).” Never stop saying “Amen” to what God has said.

Agendas Being De-throned

Melissa Gabler — It’s happening folks! The intensity you feel right now is an evil agenda being de-throned.  God has not, and will not take His hand off of this nation! We are a blessed people, and we GET to be a part of His Kingdom invasion.  Come. On. Now. “The zeal of the Lord of hosts“ is accomplishing a miraculous transformation in the United States of America.  Does it look like what most of us thought a miraculous transformation would? Probably not.  Does it matter what we thought it should look like? Absolutely not.

God or Doubts?

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 (“one who disparages or belittles the worth of something”) 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).”

Shaking Going on

KATHY — If the shaking going on in your life has been in relationships, expect a bursting forth of Kingdom relationships.  That breaks down to healing and restoration in old relationships – as God directs.  Or, that means new relationships that are supernaturally ordained, timed and blessed by God, for His purpose and agenda are coming.  You have been through 39 months on the Potter’s wheel to change who you are, to position you to prosper in God-ordained relationships!  If business relationships have been the target for despair or division, now it’s time to see the birth of stable, established partnerships.  You can be confident that God has been working in the character of each partner to position them for now.  If marriage has been the issue, trust God.  He has been faithful in the last 39 months to transform you and your spouse.  The cyclones have broken and removed some strongholds.  At the same time the forceful trials have caused you to grow strong in needed areas. You are not the same person you were 39 months ago.  Now you are in the position, the birthing position, ready to see God’s good plans come forth. (The seventh excerpt of Kathy’s vision will be posted 6-26-23.)

Surrounded by the Broken

Melissa Gabler – It’s interesting how we’ve had a zombie craze over the last few years.  We are surrounded by the broken that are driven by a poisoned inoculation.  Here’s the beauty, we have the antidote! So, “Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character]; for it is disgraceful even to mention the things that such people practice in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God’s precepts], for it is light that makes everything visible. 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 5:11-14 AMP)

Cyclones and Hindrances

KATHY GABLER — Previously I mentioned that, in a vision, I saw weather conditions for a cyclone. Their circulation is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and they move in a centrifugal force that separates and moves everything it touches. That counterclockwise movement indicated to me that God intended to undo what time has done with a force that would change thinking and rearrange lives. If your cyclones have been circumstantial with abnormal hindrances, continual disruptions and delays, consistent stress and pressure in everything you attempt to accomplish, that is evidence of being positioned for birth.  The devil cannot change the plans of God for our life; so his only hope is to keep us from participating with God. When opposition comes we can persevere or quit.  If we persevere, we align with God’s will in the heavenlies and we are positioned to see God’s will come to this earth. (The sixth excerpt of Kathy’s vision will be posted 6-22-23.)

Hearts of Fathers

As the people of God assemble today, may hearts of fathers be turned to the coming generation. May fathers in our congregations discern the potential of the youth around them and let their hearts be turned to affirming them, encouraging them and enabling them on to their destiny in Christ. May this be the most memorable Father’s Day with fathers and children turned to each other in love and in honor, grasping the heavenly Father’s heart for the generations to glorify His intent. Ps.115:14, TLB—“May the Lord richly bless both you and your children.”

As You Go

“AS YOU GO” about your Father’s business today, this week and the remainder of this year, may you accomplish far beyond your abilities and learned knowledge. You will have delightful discoveries that your Father’s hand is working beyond your immediate awareness. You will be involved in His workings without having to launch yourself for a particular mission. He will use you and you will accomplish matters for His Kingdom “AS YOU GO”.  You will accomplish more “accidentally” than the enemy will accomplish on purpose.  Matt 10:7–“And AS YOU GO, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

Get Rid of the Fear

MELISSA–Could age related disease and dysfunction be the product of issues that are not dealt with, therefore we have allowed them to become a part of our life (through fearful agreement) to the point that they manifest? If we don’t get rid of the fear, we are in agreement with it! 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)
