Poison Trying to Hold On

Melissa Gabler— There have been events and experiences, and reactions to it all, that have set up a spiritual and moral sepsis in individuals and the nation as a whole. So, the first quarter of this year we have begun to see what God has been dealing with nationally and personally. That is why there is a seeming mix of last year’s funk along with “finally—suddenlies”. That poison has a tendency to try and hold on tenaciously even though it can be extracted and overcome. So, don’t give up, ” 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. 8 For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.” (Galatians 6:7-9 AMP). IT IS TIME.

De-masking Troublemakers

KATHY GABLER—Days of Elijah were days of de-masking the troublers who projected their blame on others. After three years of no rain, there was almost nothing to eat anywhere and the LORD said to Elijah, “Go and meet with King Ahab. I will soon make it rain.” So Elijah went to see Ahab. When Ahab saw Elijah he shouted, “There you are, the biggest troublemaker in Israel!” Elijah answered: “You’re the troublemaker, not me! You and your family have disobeyed the LORD’s commands by worshiping Baal. Call together everyone from Israel and have them meet me on Mount Carmel. Be sure to bring along the four hundred fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table. Ahab got everyone together, then they went to meet Elijah on Mount Carmel. Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you try to have things both ways? If the LORD is God, worship him! But if Baal is God, worship him!” The people did not say a word. The masks were off! 

Call Upon the Name of the Lord

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they call upon the Name of the Lord in behalf of each one present who is suffering and each one who needs an answer to their prayers. May they also remember those who are not able to be present so that Mighty God intervenes in their behalf.  “I pray that the Lord our God will remember my prayer day and night. May he help everyone in Israel each day, in whatever way we need it.” (1K.8:59, CEV)

Being Confident of Purpose

Kathy Gabler— Identity is knowing who you are and being confident you have purpose for being here.  The first shot the devil took at Jesus in the wilderness was at His identity: “IF You are God’s Son, then command these stones.”  However, Jesus was so confident of His identity that Satan couldn’t tempt Him to even have to prove it. (Ps.71:18)

The Battle Ahead

Melissa Gabler—What I keep seeing is the last stretch of earning our stripes for, dare I say it, the battle ahead. There is battle coming, but our training and equipping is gearing us up to take it head on.  I just have such a sense that even though the battle will be hot we will experience it like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, “… saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who had sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him,” (Daniel 3:27-28) In order to be like these fire-walkers we need to stay in our lane so the finishing touches can be put in place.

New Norms Forming

KATHY GABLER—A NORM is something that is normal, typical, the known and what usually happens. What if every time you prayed for the sick they were healed on the spot?  That’s not the impossible dream because it happened in the New Testament, but that’s not a NORM where I’m from, not yet at least.  What if we couldn’t guarantee Church-As-Usual in the future because the Holy Spirit started translating people during worship to go work miracles and come back and tell what God did?  That would be a New Norm! What if people went to church to DO what’s on Father’s front burner and participated in an intercessory, governmental coo that brought down the dictator over politics in a county or over child abuse or poverty in a region?  I declare, such  New Norms are forming.
