If you are going after destiny, you will find yourself on a collision path with the order of God. Any movement toward order will expose something that doesn’t belong in your life. The destiny of Jesus will bring you into order. “Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.” (Ps.119:133, NKJV)
(Kathy Gabler)—God gave us many ways to communicate: we can speak or refuse to speak, (both send a message); we can sing, whistle, make a face, gesture, write, 
draw and we can also dream. Dreaming is a direct line of communication like our own personal telephone. Our mind and body can communicate in a dream. For example, if your legs are aching because you played too many sets of tennis and you dream your legs fall off that night, that is not God sending you a warning in a dream. That is just your mind or imagination messaging your body with a drastic option to relieve the pain while you sleep! (First excerpt from Kathy’s article “Realizing the Value of our Dreams”)

As the people of God assemble today may they hear the Word of Life and may their 
hearts and minds be turned upon Him who is their life and may they draw life from His presence; life for spiritual strength, life for well-being both in body and emotion, and draw life that it might be passed on to others so those others might know that Jesus lives and is their Hope. “But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is].” (Jn.20:31, Amp)
May the Lord our Sustainer restore you limb for limb, organ for organ and blood cell for blood cell. May you feel His regenerating power flow through you today. “And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in (into) peace and be continually healed and freed from your [distressing bodily] disease.” (Mk.5:34, Amp)
Where or how do you get the promise of God? All I know is that one day I suddenly came to the realization that, over time, God has given me certain promises. Knowing the desires of my heart in prayer and meditation on His Word, God has 
given promises at those times also. But most often it has been like little discoveries, one here and one there. It’s something like, “I have God’s assurance on ‘that.’ It’s already done!” Some promises include the fact that He will work in and through me to bring about the promise. Others, He has worked in persons and situations in such a way that all I could do was just stand back and be amazed (cf.Rom.4:20-21). There is an overall promise and purpose and as I have walked in it I have received other promises, some of which have already been realized. “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” (Rom.4:20-21, NKJV) (From Marty Gabler’s book “Sheep Have Short Legs”.)
You are more than your constituent parts by the power of the Holy Spirit. In your 
constituent parts, you are arms and legs and head and torso and talent and ability but by the power of the Holy Spirit you are much more today. In you, the Holy Spirit will be more than you are and, in you, He will do more than you can do. He will be what you are not and do what you cannot do. “But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be…” (Acts 1:8, Amp)
Our Holy Father is faithful to His promises. What is a promise anyway? It is something that began in the heart of a compassionate God. It is not something that 
He has to give us (cf.1Co. 2:12). The promises of God are what it is His desire to give us (cf.2Co. 1:20;Heb.6:17). Yet it is not like putting money in a vending machine, pushing a button and the drink we selected simply falls out into our hand. A “promise of God” is something that begins in His heart and is worked out in us through circumstances (cf.Phil.1:6), people (cf.Gen.45:7-8) AND TIME (cf.Heb.11:8-11). (Excerpt from Marty Gabler’s book “Sheep Have Short Legs”)
There are certain things we can expect if we have been “eating” things like the gruel of bitterness or disappointment. Such a diet renders one unable to give birth. There is no birthing of the promise of God in an embittered spirit. That which God 
desires to perform in and through us has no “fertile womb” in which it can be conceived when infected by bitterness. A wounded spirit is more difficult to heal than a broken body. It is more subtle, yet more devastating. Cf.”A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones (Prov.17:22).” Fraud, adultery and divisions in organized religion have not together taken a toll on the church to the extent that embittered spirits have. But no matter how devastated you may be, God has prepared deliverance. Before Israel could even come up with a plan of escape, God had a plan in a deliverer called Moses. No prison or chain is too great or too old for God to break (cf.Jer.30:8).

Something quite unusual that has been happening is that the Lord has been giving me dreams on Saturday night for persons who are going to be in the service on Sunday. On one Saturday night I dreamed that I walked into a yard and a lady in her mid-fifties came out of that house and we had a brief conversation. We said our good-byes and then I began to walk back into the yard I had come from. The lady’s 
house had a cement porch about eight feet wide and it ran the full length of the front of the house. As I neared the end of the house the porch dropped down about a foot and ran the last four feet like that. Leaves had collected back in that dropped-down area, I noticed something white down in the leaves. It looked to me like it might be the top of a golf ball. I started to reach down for it but suddenly felt checked. I then straightened up and when I did, a large copperhead snake crawled out of the area where that ball was and crawled up onto a small shelf that was sitting among the leaves. I shared the dream on Sunday and shared that I believed it was a warning for someone who was present. After the service a lady in her mid-fifties walked up and said that I had described her house and porch perfectly. Her husband had left the day before for business on the East Coast and told her to stay away from those leaves at the end of the porch. Her little two-year-old granddaughter had been staying with her Friday and Saturday and, over the course of the two days, had repeatedly said, “Granny, don’t pet the snakes”! But the lady had planned on ignoring her husband and planned on cleaning out that area Monday morning, that is, until she heard the warning Sunday. Her son-in-law had killed a nest of copperheads on the other end of the porch last year. She told me that it took my sharing that dream to shake her and get her attention that the Lord had already been trying to warn her about snakes.
Our awesome God is the God of the moment. He is able to communicate with His sons and daughters in a moment of time and He is able to save us in ways we have not seen or heard or imagined… until He does it. But as Scripture says: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” (1Cor.2:9, GW)… UNTIL NOW!
