The Lord Keep Us In His Timing

familyMay the Lord keep us in His timing by giving us health and prosperity so that we may be everything we need to be for our families for as long as we need to be it. May there be physical strength and mental acuity for fulfilling our responsibilities to loved ones and those the Lord has connected us to for His Kingdom purposes. May the Lord keep us from illness and disease that we may walk in His timing without faltering or coming up short of fulfillment. 

“Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyesight was sharp; he still walked with a spring in his step.” (Deut.34:7, Msg)

The Power Of The Air

Clouds cityThe scripture, Eph 2:2 came to mind as I realized my friends were  battling the  “prince of the power of the air.”  I went to search out that scripture wanting to get a working definition and understand “the power of the air.”   That verse in Ephesians indicates the power of the air to be enemy occupation in an atmosphere.  When the power of the air is infested like that, it can cause the culture to fester and draw flies like the imaginings and thoughts and opinions of men and their unbelief, rebellion, arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.   The power of the air is atmospheric conditions that affect people daily either positively because it is receptive to God or negatively because the power of the air has successfully been contaminated and made toxic.

My Times Are In His Hand

Clock in handsMay the Lord cover us, rescue us and keep us from involving ourselves with those who are not intending to operate within the timing of Him who sets the times and works His plans accordingly.  May our Lord save us from those who do not desire HIS calendar and those who simply neglect concern over His times. My times are in His Hand and I will not put them in the hands of any other. We need HIM every hour.

“My times are in your hand…” (Ps.31:15, NKJV)

“Desperate, I throw myself on you: you are my God!
Hour by hour I place my days in your hand,
safe from the hands out to get me.” (Ps.31:14-15, Msg)

 

Confronted By Counterforces

oppositesI was confident that the winds (that I mentioned in Friday’s post) were being confronted by counterforces of God and the outcome would be a halt to the lethal influences invading lives and business and government, especially in the church  mountain of culture in that region.  “Be still and know that I Am God”  was the prevailing, activated directive as I watched the war in the air.  I saw dark powers vying for positions like communication companies contending for key antennae placement.  The powers of darkness were looking for effective perches for the most intense signal and dominating communication advantage to keep the atmosphere inundated with their whispers, but the sounds were muted.

Whispers In The Wind

wind blowing plantsThe curtain rising on equipping insight may come in a vision.  Recently, I was concerned about some dear friends who are in spiritual war in a different region of Texas.  I asked the Lord for insight on what they were dealing with.  His answer was, “Whispers in the wind.”  Caught up in the moment, I did not speak but used my hands to war (Psa 144:1).  I thrust my hand in the air, snapping from an open palm to a pinching grip to silence the noise and shut up the foul breath.  Immediately, I heard, “Who are you to address me?”  The sudden comeback implied I had no legal right to touch a battle in another place.  The comeback also carried a threat that I’d better stay out of this for my own safety,  but springing from my spirit, I declared aloud, “’Greater is He that is in me’ is addressing you.”  Enough said.

Confident Of The Outcome

holding out hand stopThe curtain rising on equipping insight may come in a dream. Recently a friend had a dream that laid out priorities for dealing with an attack.  As she was being shot at on the way to her car in a parking lot, she never stopped walking toward her assailant and she simply deflected the bullets with her hands as she kept moving. Three equipping strategies came from the dream:  1) Do not allow the enemy to determine the rules of engagement.  She did not respond with the weapon he chose.  Instead she responded with a supernatural tactic.  2) Though the attack is personal, don’t lose time and momentum by feeling like a victim.  She did not run or hide to become the hunted.  3) Wield your supernatural authority offensively, deflecting and defeating every obstacle between you and your goal. We are about to grasp equipping that produces confidence.   Confidence comes when we realize the enemy does not get to decide the rules or the outcome and neither will statistics or the odds determine the outcome.  Equipped as mature sons, we can go into battle fully confident of the outcome.  She woke up rehearsed and equipped.  The follow-up challenge, of course, is to walk out that equipping and watch God happen.

(*In this dream we are, of course, dealing with typology and not suggesting you walk toward someone who is shooting at you with an actual gun.–MG)

As You Go

delighted group of people“AS YOU GO” about your Father’s business today, this week and this year, what you accomplish will far exceed your abilities and learned knowledge. You will have delightful discoveries that your Father’s hand is working beyond your immediate awareness. You will be involved in His workings without having to launch yourself for a particular mission. He will use you and you will accomplish matters for His Kingdom “AS YOU GO”. You will accomplish more “accidentally” than the enemy will accomplish on purpose. 

Matt 10:7  “And AS YOU GO, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

Curtain Rising

curtain risingThough I started with the numbers and their significance (20 and 14 in Friday’s post), they were not the seed thought for this article, rather they were a confirming afterthought that caught my attention.  The seed has been in my thoughts for several weeks because I have been seeing God’s hand moving behind a curtain on a stage.  That has kept me anticipating the curtain rising in my understanding.  Little by little an expectation has grown in me that we are about to see many things the Holy Spirit has been adjusting, rearranging, developing, redeeming, restoring and maturing.  I don’t think there will be some colorful, feel good, fairytale play behind those curtains, rather a stage set with details that bring clarity and a God-perspective that equips us, literally showing us another way to think and perceive and prevail.  I have a feeling the curtain will rise on insights that adjust our mode of operation and strategies and change our outcomes.

A Door Of Opportunity

In this year we can do what we could not do 100 years ago, even 50 years ago.  We ministered to the Attorney General in another opendoor2country while he was in the reception area of his president’s office waiting for his appointment. We spoke with him over the phone connection of a laptop computer. 

We just received the annual report from our server for our blog page (martygabler.com). In 2012, 60 countries visited our blog page but in 2013, 78 countries visited our blog page. We receive regular hits from several Middle East countries including Israel. 

Within minutes of their occurrence, we receive reports of miracles and miraculous intervention from the other side of the globe. We can put someone in another country inside 24 hours or put training materials there within a few days or put materials there in a few seconds by emailing files. This, indeed, is the day the Lord has made so. . . we will take advantage of every means and media to preach the Kingdom of God (Lk.4:43; 9:2; 9:60), for a wide door of opportunity is open to us in 2014.

“For a wide door of opportunity for effectual [service] has opened to me [there, a great and promising one], and [there are] many adversaries.” (1Cor.16:9, Amp)

Mature Son Results

In my last SEEC Magazine article I talked about twenty being the biblical number for expectancy, the kind of expectancy that looking forwardcomes at the point when battles are finally won or preparation finally brings results or the point when process yields fruit or the point when equipping fulfills its purpose.  I believe the “20” in the coming year of 2014 re-emphasizes the focus on an expectation to see and walk in different results.  Of course, we have been in the 2000’s for 13 years already, but the 14 in 2014, adds the significance of a time coming when “as it is in heaven” processes come to completion and are unshakably established in our lives.  Putting all those concepts together raises my anticipation for the coming year, particularly concerning long term battles.  I have an expectation that the completion of spiritual, God-orchestrated processes is going to equip us as sons of God and equip us to get to mature son results.
