The Kingdom of God is Advancing

MARTY GABLER—I invite you to fill in the blank:  In spite of ______________, the Kingdom of God is advancing.  The Kingdom is advancing in spite of anything you can put in that blank. You are part of something that is bigger than you are and it is still standing and it is still advancing. (1) The wall is still standing. You and I may only be small pebbles in its makeup but we are part of the wall that is still standing.  (2) You and I may not even vaguely resemble King David but we are part of David’s kingly, warring company. (3) You and I may not be Gideon but we are part of the Gideon company that does not consider the odds. We consider Him who has called us.  (4) You and I may not be the whole bucket of water that is being thrown on the fire but we are drops in that bucket that are putting out flames.  (Matt.16:18; Lk.1:33; Ps.145:13; Isa.9:7)

God Sustains Through Battles

Melissa Gabler— “It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindness we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.” Lam. 3:22-23 (AMP).  This makes me cry.  Our God is so faithful to sustain us through battles to our answers.  In fact, His goodness NEVER runs out! This scripture tells us they are NEW EVERY MORNING! There is new strength and grace to be set free right now.  Y’all, He NEVER gave up on plan A which is the John 10:10 abundant life.  We choose to live plan B simply because we don’t have a grasp on His love and true intent for us.

Keys to Recurring Dreams

KATHY GABLER—Two keys in considering recurring dreams are:
(1.) Tolerating troubling, recurring dreams instead of resolving them can water a troubling condition and keep it bearing fruit in your life.
(2.) Get to the root of recurring dreams so they become a tool. Deposits, downloads and disclosures through dreams only become a beneficial tool to us when we follow up with a real life response.

KATHY will be speaking at DREAMS VISIONS PROPHECY 2025 at Grace Church Willis TX. DVP2025 is Sept.12-14,2025. All information is at martygabler.com/dvp2025/
Jamie Lipe and the Grace Worship Team will be leading worship Fri. & Sat.

Your Home Filled With Rejoicing

MARTY GABLER—Your Home #19 – May your home be filled with songs and rejoicing because the Lord God Almighty has delivered you when you needed rescue from people and circumstances.  Ps.118:15,LB—“Songs of joy at the news of our rescue are sung in the homes of the godly. The strong arm of the Lord has done glorious things!”

Questions When Fear Comes

Melissa Gabler—Here are some questions to ask when fear strikes, or we aren’t sure if it is fear or wisdom:  What do I need to see about this? What’s at the root of this? What do I need to know about this? Is there an element of this that needs to be dealt with or stopped through prayer, or is this connected to a root that needs to be pulled out? Is this intercession for someone else? These kinds of questions get answered because they are not the questions of a victim, they are questions of an overcomer.  A fear-driven question already has an answer in mind and can’t hear anything but that. A wise question is open to hear truth.  Here’s another question to keep on hand, is this something in the atmosphere that I need to be aware of? I experienced this one recently while in worship.  A headache hit me between the eyes out of no where.  Later I came to realize it was an atmospheric war over what was going on that night.  When identified, the headache left immediately!

Prayer for Mountains to be Revealed

KATHY GABLER—Revealing Mountains-May we be like David as he prayed for the mountains within himself to be revealed in Psalm 139:23,24. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (NKJ) A paraphrased word study reveals this in his prayer: “O God, examine me and reveal my mind, my knowledge, my thinking, my memories, my inclinations, my determinations, my conscience, my moral character, my appetites, my emotions and my passions.  Scrutinize me and reveal my disturbing thoughts and opinions.”  When David asked God to search him for wicked ways he was NOT on a guilt-driven search for evil and moral decay in himself.  The word translated “wicked” here is used only two other times in the Old Testament and both times it was translated “sorrow.”  So David was asking God to see if there were any high places of idolatry in him that had been built on wounds or offense or sorrow or hardship or bitter memories.  He was asking God to see if there  was any experience or threat bigger or more important to him than God.  David knew those things could distort God’s counsel and instructions and even block him from God’s presence.  Every soulish mountain-stronghold becomes a blind spot that blocks us from seeing God’s truth and purpose, thereby keeping us from God’s presence and plans in some part of our life.

Stand on God’s Unfailing Word

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they be taught, reminded, encouraged, assured that God’s Word is just like Him, “the same yesterday, today and forever”. May the people of God encourage one another to stand on His unfailing Word so that as the wind blows and the waves crash, the house will continue to stand.  “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” (Isa.40:8, NKJV)

To See Beyond Our Norm

MARTY GABLER—We must do something to see beyond our norm. What about an imagination that is available to God? Do we only see the mundane and the predictable and then do we pray and limit our expectations from that mundane perspective? Have we sentenced ourselves to only praying within the predictable because of past disappointments and the conclusions of others? Children run around with a towel tied around their neck imagining that they can fly, imagining they are super heroes until we talk them out of it. There is no evidence in scripture that anyone imagined the Red Sea parting. Phillip could not begin to imagine 5,000 people fed with only a couple of little fish and a little bit of bread. What if when we come up against the next impossible situation we just said, “Hey, what awesome way does God want to do this?”  “What would the average person never imagine in this situation?” Graham Cooke was quoted as saying,  “Sometimes I think that sin is not necessarily immorality or selfishness. Sometimes it just means we live drab, colorless, stale, and unimaginative lives before God.” Holy Spirit, quicken the Word of God within us to inspire us to see beyond the limiting realm of our daily existence. ”For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isa.55:9, KJV)

Freedom

This is Melissa’s July 4th video post from a couple of years ago. I thought it would be good to post it again for this year.
May you experience freedom through Jesus Christ our Lord to a degree you never have before.  https://www.facebook.com/martygabler/videos/2937325686394039

 

3 Keys to Intercessory Dreams

KATHY GABLER—Three keys considering intercessory dreams:   
(1.) Don’t take vicarious dreams as personal threats, because being afraid will hinder your response. 
(2.) God always gives insight in time if you are being called to make a difference. 
(3.) Never fail to follow through with authoritative declaration of the will of God over the situation or person.
