(Melissa Gabler) — Fear leads to stress and stress puts off a fragrance that the spirit of infirmity is looking for. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” (1Jn.4:18, NKJV)

What Father Wants by Holy Spirit Enabling
The Holy Spirit who anointed Jesus, now dwells in us and enables us to be God’s visible, tangible point of rule and authority on earth. It is all by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not just kings and priests so we can have titles. We are so, by the power of the Holy Spirit for the redemptive works of our Lord in the lives of those who are held in the bondage of fear (Heb.2:15). The Holy Spirit is the One who has the mind of the Father and He will guide us in those aspects of being kingly and priestly so that we may be what the Father wants us to be in those aspects. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom].” 2Cor.3:17, Amp)

Safety and Acceptance in Your Home
May your home be the place of safety and acceptance you think of when you are out in the world and are mistreated and taken advantage of. May you return there safely and may it be your place of solace. “You will be sheltered,without fear of hurtful words or any other weapon. . . . Your home will be secure, and your sheep will be safe.” (Job 5:21, 24, CEV)

Kingdom of God in Evidence
(Kathy) As I searched the scriptures, I found the Kingdom of God (or Kingdom of Heaven) could refer to three things: 1) The place where God dwells and reigns eternally, 2) God’s AUTHORITY & POWER ruling on earth, and 3) the company of people who have submitted their lives to God’s authority, both now and eternally. Jesus preached and emphasized the second aspect, God’s AUTHORITY and POWER ruling on earth. That is why He said to some as He healed them, “The Kingdom has come upon you.” The Kingdom of God is in evidence wherever God’s AUTHORITY and POWER are manifested on earth.

God’s Choice
When the elders of Israel became aware that it was time to put Josia on the throne (God’s government was put in place), God gave them a plan. They stood Josia in the temple and placed a 
crown upon his head (2K 11:12). The people began to clap their hands and proclaim, “God save the king.” When Athaliah heard the celebration (Athaliah hates celebration which has not made her central), she ran into the temple and began to yell, “Treason!” No matter how deeply she stood in violation, she was convinced that change was treason on the part of others. Anything that was without her approval or anything that was in opposition to her plans was considered treason. The correct response to Athaliah was to accept God’s choice of government and to do it openly with all the proper leadership participating.

The Government of God for all Generations
(Kathy GabIer) — I have prayed or read or quoted or sang the phrase, Thy Kingdom come, for years without really being aware of the magnitude of what I was saying. In my early understanding, “Thy Kingdom come” was a reference to heaven and eternity only. So it was like a salutation, a verbal salute, before beginning the actual prayer of “Thy will be done on earth as in heaven”. I’m fairly sure a good percentage of the Church prays the Lord’s Prayer with a similar paradigm which boils down to this: may heaven be ours someday and meanwhile, “Thy will be done in things concerning the earth”. However, there is a different understanding of the Kingdom of God in the light of Psa 145:13: “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your rule endures throughout all generations.” Rather than a place and a future existence, the Kingdom is the rule of God, His power, His authority and His government and order in effect already, in fact, for all generations.

May is for Lifting up Holy Hands in Prayer
The month of MAY IS FOR LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS IN PRAYER without wrath and doubting, which are contrary to faith, but praying “Thy will be done”, knowing that we are heard (1Jn.5:15).
“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” (1Tim.2:8, KJV) “So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.” (Ps.63:4)

Home Saved
May you carry in you the deep peace and knowledge that you are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and may everyone in your home be saved and have that same peace. “They replied, “Have faith in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved! This is also true for everyone who lives in your home.” (Acts 16:31, CEV)
