You Are Important

Melissa Gabler —Here’s what you need to know first and foremost: YOU are important, YOU have a piece that the rest of us need, YOU have a gift and skill combo no one else has, YOU will live and not die, YOU are created for His glory, and all of these things are His original intent for you in 2025! Now that that is in the atmosphere, let’s talk about life in the season ahead.

To Walk in Destiny

KATHY GABLER—Having  a cracked self-image, a shattered self-worth or a failed self-government, does not void our Father’s love or intent, nor His good plans for us!  If we learn to think in our hearts like that, that truth will free us up to walk in destiny and keep us from giving up before we become all God had in mind that we were born to be.  Father, may my life glorify you to the fullest extent.  Let me see me as You see me.  Cause me to value as You value.  Grace me to live honoring Your boundaries for my life.  May I live in the truth and may it be not only my freedom, but also my legacy.

Loving the Truth

Melissa Gabler—It’s going to take loving the Truth (which is a Person—THE Person) to see great and mighty things for which an earth is groaning (Romans 8:17-19). It’s going to take some calling on that Person which requires relationship, not curbside pickup. And relationship takes time, time out of your day. This does not mean you have to set aside hours and hours every day. That is not a bad thing if that’s where you are currently, or a season you are headed into. Other than that, a relationship is all day everyday.

When You Choose Life

KATHY GABLER—When you CHOOSE LIFE you are choosing what you will agree with.  Your agreement is what opens doors in your life.  Your agreement aligns you with either a God-outcome or the plans of self or plans of others, or the plans of Hell . . . or possibly some combination of the last three!  For example, if you’re caught up in an emotional web and surrounded by hurt feelings or offense or disappointment or despair, your soul is likely to choose to wallow in “UPSET.”  That choice is agreeing with current conditions, but your spirit calls for a vote, knowing nothing good comes out of coddling and rehearsing UPSET. There’s no ground taken by staying UPSET.  Let’s put it in graphic terms.  When your stomach gets UPSET, you throw up.  There’s no need to save the VOMIT.  Choose to FLUSH it and move on, thereby agreeing that you are not staying a prisoner of the UPSET.  Why do people ever choose to stay in the chaos of UPSET?   Most often, it is because they don’t feel or believe they can help it and they have no awareness that there is a choice to react differently.  Sometimes people get in a habit of staying upset because it brings attention or pity.  Others stay upset as a campaign for justice or vengeance. We can, however, train ourselves to use the weapon  called CHOICE and practice until we are skilled enough to choose not to allow UPSET to rule our lives.

Children of the Kingdom of Light

Marty Gabler—As the people of God assemble today, may they realize that they are children of the Kingdom of God which is the Kingdom of Light and that there is nothing working in darkness that can defeat the unshakeable Kingdom of God. May they rejoice as those who walk in the Light and fellowship of King Jesus.  ”Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe;” (Heb.12:8, Amp)

Doors of Opportunity

Marty Gabler—In His wisdom Father has placed opportunities & choices before us (Deut.30:19; Matt.7:13). Whether or not we go through the many divinely-ordained opened doors God has put before us this year will depend upon how we make decisions this year. There are many doors of opportunity open before you (1Cor.16:9). They are not just barely cracked open but wide open for His Kingdom purposes, for His Name’s sake.

Truth and Relationship With the Lord

Melissa Gabler—Truth and relationship with the Lord is about your meditations, thoughts, words, prayers. Are your thoughts and prayers abounding from His truth or the latest from Fox, CNN, Facebook, or Twitter? A safe and healthy place from which to operate your day is praying in tongues throughout. It’s the perfect prayer not swayed by national or family events. It’s the perfect prayer not swayed by the soul. In fact, don’t limit it to that. You may think you’re praying about what is concerning at the moment, but the Spirit prays what needs to be prayed at the moment whether it be for that particular situation or something completely different. Thank God that type of prayer cannot be touched by soulish fears and desires. That is exactly why it is perfect! God knew what He was doing when He gave us such a gift. Yes, I’d say it’s for today. My thought, the soul might say otherwise because it can’t control it. Ok, I’ll just leave that right there and wrap this up. It’s time to call on Him. It’s time to see great and mighty things. It’s time to be great and mighty things.

Life’s Battles

Kathy Gabler—Life’s battles do not intensify just because the devil gets mad or has a personal grudge.  No, the battle heats up by reason of the needed outcome.  As surely as heat can determine the strength of a weld, so does the intensity of battle establish the strength and longevity of the victory.  The vehemence of battle welds the outcome in undeniable purpose rather than just leaving us with fragmented memories of war. Heat is one of the components of long-term victory and intense battle yields intensely awesome results!

The Name of the Lord is….

Marty Gabler–The name of the Lord is….
The name of the Lord is JAH, “I Am.” Isaiah implies that both present and future deliverance are in JAH when he writes, “JAH Jehovah is my strength and my song.” (Isa.12:2) The name JAH speaks to us of the present living God, of His presence in daily life and present activity in behalf of His own. When we say, “Hallelujah” we are saying, “Praise ye JAH.” Blessed be the name of the Lord!
“Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, And rejoice before Him.” (Ps.68:4, NKJV)
