No Longer Subjugated

Melissa Gabler—Recently I was thinking about some people in my life that need answers in a big way. They’ve been fighting life-altering circumstances and they just need answers, change, miracles. As this was going through my head I, all of a sudden, saw something being ripped in half and I heard, “No longer subjugated.” Subjugated is not a word in my vocabulary so I had to look it up. Subjugate (Websters 1828 dictionary): “To subdue and bring under the yoke of power or dominion; to conquer by force and compel to submit to the government or absolute control of another.” Well, that made my hair stand up!

Beware Despair

Kathy Gabler—BEWARE  the spirit of despair prowling among us.  Like hyenas, despair is a pack hunter that travels with harassment and troubling.  And the harassment and troubling around us right now is two streets beyond typical.  Beyond the ebb and flow of life, we are in battles stemming from corporate evil agendas and overactive witchcraft.   When we realize that the biggest threat from our adversary the devil is not his power but his persistence, we see the challenge is to not bow to despair in any way.  Instead keep your eye on the joy set before you, confident you will come out of these days with spoils.  Think of it this way, if we bow to despair and pitch a fit, we are spoiled, but if we don’t, we will take the spoils!  

Disclosing What Is To Come

Marty Gabler—Disclosing What Is To Come
Jn 16:13  “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14  “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15  “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.   The Holy Spirit now makes available to all what was only available to a few in the Old Testament (Lk.24:49; Jn.16:13; 20:22; Acts1:8; Eph.5:18; 1Jn.2:20). We must have impartation from the Holy Spirit to know what is to come. He takes the things of Jesus and shows them to us. Jesus is the One who has a future and if we are to participate in HIS future, we need to know the things that are of Him.   Isa 33:5—“The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. 6  And HE WILL BE THE STABILITY OF YOUR TIMES, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is His treasure.” (Amp)
“He is the God who does the undoable,
changes the unchangeable,
and provides the impossible.”

Victory is at Hand

MELISSA GABLER—In a vision, one from the great cloud of witnesses told me, “The victory is at hand” and “The rebuild will be supernatural.” He was telling me that what you see is not what will be. This was an exhortation straight from the King released through a known tenacious fighter. This has been ringing over and over in my head and I have to stand on it. No matter what it looks like right now or even in the coming days, the victory is at hand and this mess will be overturned supernaturally! We don’t have to figure out the rebuild. There are already plans in motion and we should expect to be working side by side with the supernatural in the days ahead. The victory and the rebuild are assured, but when these things happen in the midst of awakening we best be ready for the extraordinary to unfold around us, in us and through us. My descriptions of what is coming may seem a bit vague but that’s because I haven’t seen the details of what this supernatural rebuild looks like. I just know all the way down to my toenails that this is going to be huge, amazing, beautiful and breathtaking!

Bearing Presence of God Into Life Arena

Kathy Gabler–It should be a point of relief when we realize that our passions and energy can be godly without being religious. If you are called to the market place, your passion and energy thrives there. If you are called to nurture, your zeal and passion might be parenting or teaching. If you have a gift of hospitality, your call could range from the hotel industry to decorating and design. The point is that we bear the presence and purpose of God into every arena of life. We bring glory to God by doing what we were created to do. Jesus said that in John 17:4, “I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.” (NAU)

Resound With His Goodness

Marty Gabler–As the people of God assemble today, may they speak and sing together of the great goodness of Jehovah God and adore Him in the company of those who are of like faith that the atmosphere may resound with His goodness and the people be lifted above their trials.   “They shall pour forth [like a fountain] the fame of Your great and abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of Your rightness and justice.” (Ps.145:7, Amplified Bible)

No Disappointment Dull Your Sight

Marty Gabler–May the Lord lift your arms high and strengthen you that no discouragement can reach your dreams and no disappointment can dull your sight for the possibilities and victories ahead of you.
“So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees,” (Heb.12:12, Amp)

Call Unto Me

Melissa Gabler — During a time of ministry at a meeting a revered Prophet told me, “Read Jeremiah 33:3 everyday and watch what happens.” It’s certainly not an unfamiliar passage, but perhaps one that is easily forgotten in the midst of all the hustle, bustle and chaos. So, here you go (in 3 versions for impact):
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jer. 33:3 KJV
“Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.” Jer. 33:3 AMP
“Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.” Jer. 33:3 MSG.

Grit and Grime of Experience

KATHY GABLER–It is hard to see eternal purpose through the grit and grime of experience. So, our spirits have to be renewed, and that starts with cleaning life’s grime off the windows. That’s why David prayed in Psalm 51, “Create in me a clean heart, [send your window-cleaning presence!] O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” A steadfast spirit is a spirit that circumstances cannot bully, that emotions cannot control and that experiences cannot defeat. (v.11) “Don’t cast me away from your presence and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.” (NAU) A willing spirit is a spirit that is willing to try again, that is willing to believe again and that is willing to hope again.

Opportunities Not Taken

Marty Gabler—There are those who have had opportunities but, because of hesitancy, they were not taken. There are some who had opportunities, but they were thwarted. It was like “bad weather”, and a heavy cloud over a launching pad preventing the launch. The rocket was fueled and ready to go, but a “weather-front” just moved in and prevented it getting airborne.Some opportunities were smothered out by more important people, taking their opportunities, and some were smothered by unexpected events. The whirlwind of circumstances keeps taking its toll and keeps preventing, BUT God moves in the middle of that kind of stuff before it even shows signs of dissipating! ”The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty. The Lord has His way in the whirlwind, and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.” (Nah.1:3,Amp)
