Celebrating the 31st!

Free Martin LutherThe 31st is a day of celebration! We are celebrating Reformation Day! On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the Wittenberg Church door in Germany. What had been covered over by centuries of profitable and manipulative tradition, was exposed and the truth of God’s Word, the Gospel of salvation by grace (Eph.2:8), was made known. There is ONE Mediator between God and man, not a Mediator plus someone or some religious/ecclesiastical system (Heb.10:10). That Mediator, JESUS, alone was appointed by God to make atonement for the sins of men by His death. His atonement alone gives only Him authorization to be our Intercessor with God in our behalf. All persons (no matter race or creed) are to go directly to that Intercessor JESUS (Heb.7:25) and trust only in this Mediator alone. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1Tim.2:5).

The God Whose Hand is Working

As the people of God assemble today may they, in all assurance, worship the God Whose hand is working beyond their immediate awareness and Who is willing that His sons/daughters participate in His workings in the nation. May they be blessed and inspired and equipped to accomplish matters for His Kingdom in coming days as they go about their living and hoping. 1Cor.2:9,Msg–“No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it—What God has arranged for those who love him.

As You Go

“AS YOU GO” about your Father’s business today, this week and the remainder of the year, what you accomplish will far exceed 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!”

It’s Not Over

MELISSA – So, the Gablers just had a powwow and here’s what we decided: First, even the non-MSM we have been following is not worth following anymore as everything is “seemingly” crashing and burning. Second, what we have are the prophetic words we’ve heard and believed. Third, THIS IS NOT OVER. Lastly, our number one prayer is that the fear of the Lord hit this nation, and that He deliver us from evil!  Job 28:28, King James Version – “And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”

Dreams for Insight

KATHY–God uses dreams and visions to give insight into situations: My aunt dreamed she saw a car on a highway. The fog was so dense around it that she could barely see its headlights. She woke up abruptly, startled and concerned. Suddenly she remembered Marty and I were out of town in a meeting; so she began to pray. Later that night we made it home but crept along the last few miles, the alternator going out and our lights going dimmer by the mile. God woke her to usher in deliverance even before the alternator began to fail. Like a Word of Knowledge says God is intervening, giving supernatural insight because He is ready to act, likewise a dream or vision mandate, says He is ready to act; so mustering faith and praying is no problem!

Don’t Discount Resurrection Power

The word resurrection means “to stand up again.” The Philistines thought that Samson was down for the count just like the devil and the princes of this world thought Jesus was down for the count (1Co
2:7-8). But when resurrection power hit the body of Jesus, He stood up again. When resurrection power came upon Samson, he stood up again and the Philistines, what few were left, wished he never had. You may be down and out for the count as far as the enemy and some people are concerned. But don’t discount the resurrection power that comes from an encounter with God.

Fast Fear

Melissa — Hey, you can fast fear! It’s true! Set your mind to it and watch how aware you become of fear in your life.  It’s amazing how interwoven that stinker is.  But when you become aware, you can do something about it.  You can take your rightful place in the driver’s seat by forcing fear out.  Ask the Holy Spirit to point it out, then you replace it with truth.  You replace fear with God’s original intent for your life, thoughts of peace to give you an expected end (Jer. 29:11).  This is not necessarily an overnight change, it takes time.  It’s a process well worth it, but you can still be an agent of change in the middle of your process.  How? By listening to the Father and doing/saying what He tells you (John 5:19).

Not the Time to Give Up

MELISSA–This is not the time to give up. This is the time to buckle up and get ready for victory that leads to the exposing and overturning of evil in this earth. Victory that leads to new creation, 2Cor.5:17, The Passion Translation — “Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.” WELCOME TO THE GREATEST AWAKENING!

Distorting the Truth

KATHY—Like a cunning lawyer, a bully will distort the truth to his advantage. If he presents an either/or solution, you can be sure he is not presenting the whole picture and you would be foolish to embrace the “either” or the “or”.  Israel stood captive in the prison of  “either/or thinking” that a bully had built. We must not be deceived by any contrary circumstance or by any opposing force or by any bully into believing that life has come to an either/or box that God cannot get into!  Either/or thinking that is defined by our opponent is designed to cause tunnel vision. The either/or thinking that comes from darkness shuts down any revealing light, any expectation and any God-based faith.  Such either/or thinking closes the door to options and will never factor in Almighty God!  Only in hind-sight can workers of darkness see that they cannot factor Almighty God out! Goliath had a whole army believing: EITHER you come as healthy slaves OR you will be drug along as wounded-in-battle slaves! No wonder Israel stayed in indecision for over a month! And no wonder Goliath patiently pursued his agenda for over a month: the big bully was psychologically turning warriors into slaves on a daily basis.

Arising to Vital Function

As the people of God assemble today may they arise from experiences and factors that have held them back from vitally functioning in their Kingdom purpose for the King of Kings. May they find today that Holy Spirit is increasing their capacity and filling that increase with His presence and power through the resurrection power of Jesus. Eph.1:19-20,Amp—“And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, 20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],”
