A Call to Action for Someone Else

(Kathy Gabler)—It is possible to receive a God-warning in a dream for someone else, but it will still be a call to positive action such as prayer or instruction to intervene. Hopefully, God can trust us with the warning and we won’t even tell the someone else unless or until the Holy Spirit instructs us to do so.  Otherwise, we might paint a target on their chest that draws fire, and that would be missing the point of a warning entirely. Regarding warnings, consider God’s nature and don’t accept dread or threat.  Consider a warning from God to be notification that it is time to move out in effectual action and obedient follow-through.

Representing the Father

The glory of God through us, His creation, is not our putting forth effort to hit an ideal or to align with a creed or even getting to heaven. It’s accomplishing things that show His character, His Name in this earth in spite of the influence of culture. That which is in heaven comes to earth through an earthen vessel (Jer.18:4-6; Matt.6:10) and continually points back to its Source in heaven (Matt.5:16). That is why Jesus could say, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father” because He never misrepresented the Father, no matter how hard people (and the devil) tried to get Him to adjust to their expectations. 

Warning in a Dream

(Kathy Gabler)—A warning from God in a dream may sober you, but it will not threaten or condemn you.  The point of a God-warning is to be wise and take action.  Dreams that come as a threat are not His nature.  Threats come from fear, our own or someone else’s. Since God is never afraid, He won’t cause you to panic. He won’t send dreams or visions to intimidate because He can’t be threatened.  He won’t send them to shame or condemn because He can’t be manipulated or moved to action with guilt.  His dreams and visions will reflect His nature.

He Restores my Soul

As the people of God assemble today may they worship the One Who is restoring their soul and giving them the rest of relationship and identity in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Ps.23:2 ”He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.   3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.”

Your Home Fuller This Year

May your home be fuller this year—full of the things you have needed, full of the evidences of victories and full of love and good, productive fellowship.  “The curse of the Lord is in and on the house of the wicked, but He declares blessed (joyful and favored with blessings) the home of the just and consistently righteous.” (Prov.3:33, Amp)

Don’t Beat Yourself Up

(Kathy Gabler)— If you have had strategic God-to-Man, prophetic communications that you found out later were insights that you hadn’t understood up front, don’t grieve and beat yourself up over that.  Again, factor in God’s nature.  Does He intend us to live in regret?  No, He is our Redeemer who buys back lost opportunities.  His nature is unchanging and we can trust our Redeemer and learn from such experiences.  (Sixth excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)

Discussing Hopes and Victories

May your home be filled with different conversation in the year to come—different because you are no longer discussing threats and defeats but hopes and victories.   “Answer my prayers, O True God, the righteous, who makes me right.  I was hopelessly surrounded, and You rescued me.  Once again hear me; hide me in Your favor;  bring victory in defeat and hope in hopelessness.” (Ps.4:1, The Voice)

Factor in Nature of God

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream or vision to find out if it is a dream  from God, we must always factor in the nature of God.  Since Father’s nature is to be loving, merciful and concerned for us, He is not likely to send crucial insights and drafts to action to an untrained son or daughter who would only respond in fear or stress.   I know a young woman who at eleven-years-old dreamed about the September 11, 2001, attack in New York.  When she saw the plane hit the towers on TV, it was exactly like her dream.  Seeing that she has become a strong, prophetic force in the Kingdom of God, we realize the impacting dream insight was part of her training in developing an ear to hear.  Children who are prophetic or seers or intercessors will likely experience graphic dreams and visions in training for their purpose.   (Fifth excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)

The First Step to Defeat Defeat

Father’s strength and wisdom are available for weary people to take the first step after not moving against things that have defeated them in the last year. The time of not doing something about defeating-factors is over. The first step will be admitting there is a problem and wanting the answer, even if it means we have to put forth some effort and make some changes. The first step will be to not wait for others and not wait for those circumstances to change, but begin the change in us.  Ps.37:23— “The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].” (Amp)

Dreams and Previews

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream, don’t be quick to assume the dream was a literal preview or warning.  People are usually quick to think any upset, uneasiness or troubling is a warning of impending danger or grief, but more often dreams are exposing a troubling within rather than warning of one to come.  If God does send a warning dream or vision, it is to call you to effectual action, not just trouble you.  Father would only send warning dreams to put you in motion, not put you in fear or dread. (Fourth excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)
