Don’t Keep Going Over Old History

MARTY GABLER—This is directly from the Word of God and is a great consideration for going on in to a new year.  Isa.43:16,18-19,Msg—“This is what God says, the God who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves, The God who summons horses and chariots and armies— they lie down and then can’t get up; they’re snuffed out like so many candles: ‘Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’ —the coyotes and the buzzards— Because I provided water in the desert, rivers through the sunbaked earth, Drinking water for the people I chose, the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me’.”

Working of Miracles–What’s Your Part?

KATHY GABLER—(Melissa found this note today on Kathy’s computer)
“Working of miracles may not be a solo assignment. Consider Jesus at the wedding of Cana. Others worked with HIM as they filled the water pots. We know in part, we prophesy in part, we dream in part, we pray in part. Steward the part you have.

May Life Permeate the Atmosphere

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today may Life permeate the atmosphere and rejuvenate the weary, save the lost and heal the sick. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]” (Matt.11:28, Amp)

The Necessary Piece for the Year to Come

MELISSA GABLER–I want to talk about one piece that is absolute necessity in the year to come. That piece is self awareness. This may sound like a simple thing you would think comes naturally, but that is not so. We have become so self-focused that we tend to confuse the two. They are not the same. Self-focus is the Band-Aid that falls off with every raging flood. Self awareness connects the dots, and raises a standard against the flood (Isa. 59:19).  Let’s look at the literal definitions of the two words. Awareness means informed, alert, knowledgeable, sophisticated. (dictionary com)  Focus means a central point, as of attraction, attention, or activity.  As a geological term, focus means the point of origin of an earthquake. (dictionary.com)  Focus is narrow, where as awareness is broad.  I particularly love how focus is the point of origin of an earthquake.  Well, if that doesn’t just say it!  Self-focus leads to personal earthquakes, and self awareness keeps us from them.

What Used to Be

KATHY GABLER—What “used to be” in past years is not the witness that will impact a community or a region for the Kingdom in the here and now.  I AM is being misrepresented if He is not present tense and awesome right here in this present year.  If we refuse to allow pride or fear to keep us from fresh and timely obedience, sons of God will be redefined and repositioned as needed in this new year and we will flow into a momentum that causes the good plans of God to manifest.  The groaning (Rom.8:19) communities and regions will reel with the supernatural results and exponential harvest that He has planned.

Insights to Impact People

MARTY GABLER–In 2026 God is giving us loving and creative insights into impacting people’s lives. People in this present culture are not wondering whether or not they will go to heaven or hell if they die, they are concerned whether they have a purpose and what they will do if they continue to have to deal with present moral and cultural challenges. God will speak to us about what He is concerned about in a person’s life while steering us away from pet peeves (religious pet peeves and pet peeves formed from our family paradigms) so that we can effectively impact them with His love and compassion.
**”Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they’ll be won over to God’s side and be there to join in the celebration when he arrives.” (1Pe 2:12,Msg)

The Game Changer in 2026

MELISSA GABLER–2026: The Game Changer #2 — Time to slay the victim mentality. We saw the victim mentality come to a head sometime back and get whipped! You know that “Sleeping Giant” we’ve been talking about for a while? Well, it’s name is “No More”, and it woke up. No more victims for Christ. No more victimized churches. 2026 will see God’s original intent realized in many areas.

Our Battles Last Year

KATHY GABLER—Our Battles this last year may have been physical or financial or attacks from people or harassment in circumstances or a siege of constant pressure. Whatever the conflict, I think battle-weariness sets in at the point there seems to be no let up, no end. Changelessness is exhausting. It can make us too tired to muster hope, but like David, that’s the time to talk to God openly. In Psalm 55, David told the Lord that he just wanted some peace and quiet, a walk in the country and a cabin in the woods. He told Him his heart was desperate for change (Msg). When we come to God in exhausted desperateness, He does not meet us there as a stonewall of resistance. That place of meeting with Him is a threshold, a starting place, a second wind. Just breathe.
