The Renewing of Your Mind

MELISSA— “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2) That’s a Change-Agent’s life right there.  We PROVE the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.  How? By changing our thought habits.  We meditate on God’s will, His original intent for this earth.  We stop fixating on the enemy’s war around us by realizing his war has intensified because he is feeling the pressure of this never-ending Kingdom in Luke 1:33.  We turn our thoughts toward that powerful fact.  We engage in power, love, and a sound mind by dumping fear-thoughts that have wreaked havoc (2 Timothy 1:7).  This is all possible in our lifetime!

Distorting Guidelines

Kathy Gabler — We need an Awakening as badly as Judah did in 2Kings 17. They had forgotten their God. They had forsaken their one true God and even closed the door to the temple and nailed it shut. In the next chapter, 2Kings 18, Hezekiah became king of Judah and Awakening began. Hezekiah was AWARE they needed God and He took action to begin sanctifying the nation. He destroyed the local shrines, tore down the images of foreign gods, cut down the sacred pole for worshiping the goddess of sex and fertility and he also smashed the bronze snake Moses had made in the wilderness. Remember when fiery serpents were biting and killing them in the camp? God told Moses to put a brass serpent on a pole so people could see it and be healed. That was a one-time obedience that led to the intervention of God for their nation. Keeping that pole as a testimony from history to teach their children about God was understandable, but sticking that pole among the idols they were worshiping and making sacrifices to, dishonored both God and the acts of God in their behalf. That generation had to have “cooked the books” (unethically change the meaning) of their own history to justify worshiping a SNAKE on a STICK. Let’s bring that home to our present darkness. How much have crooked people and entities “cooked the books” in this present time and distorted the Rule of Law and guidelines as they deliberately try to change our history. They fully intend to redefine who we are and distort the God-purpose and destiny within us. We need an Awakening to stop the madness in both the Church and the Nation! We need to follow Hezekiah’s lead in such a time as this! He made the God-changes that were in his reach! He could reach their idols and he tore them down . . . and it PLEASED God! Of course, it didn’t necessarily please everybody else because Awakening always upsets the norms.

BUT… God!

Kathy Gabler—The Days of Elijah are “BUT GOD” times.  “Bring me your son,” Elijah said. Then he took the boy from her arms and carried him upstairs to the room where he was staying. Elijah laid the boy on his bed and prayed, “LORD God, why did you do such a terrible thing to this woman? She’s letting me stay here, and now you’ve let her son die.”  Even Elijah’s issues surfaced in this battle of life and death.  Evidently shaken by the widow’s upset and shouting, the prophet spoke to God as if He was being unjust!  “BUT GOD” was waiting on him to calm down and work a miracle. (Remember that in days of battle.) Elijah stretched himself out over the boy three times, while praying, “LORD God, bring this boy back to life!” The LORD answered Elijah’s prayer, and the boy started breathing again. Elijah picked him up and carried him downstairs. He gave the boy to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive.”  As the widow could testify, the days of Elijah undeniably manifest the Power of God on earth.       (Kathy is teaching at DVP2024 Sept.14 at Grace Church Willis.

Looking to God

Marty—As the people of God assemble today may they look to their all-sufficient, beneficent God and may they then look upon one another and consider the other’s concerns. May there be interest in the well-being of one’s brothers and sisters in Christ and may there be prayers, encouragements, words of knowledge and prophecies to strengthen the saints.  “Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]” (Phil.2:4-5, Amp)

Get Back Your Dreams

Marty—May the Lord give you back your dreams–those dreams that were in your heart before disappointing experiences, hurts, delay of time, and weariness jaded your expectancies. May the Lord bring back to you, in full bloom, the dreams of innocent, hopeful childhood–the hopes that He longed to facilitate when you were born. May we return our hearts to His longings and purposes that do not disappoint but that take us beyond our limited expectations by His grace and giftings.     (MARTY will be speaking and ministering at DREAMS VISIONS PROPHECY 2024, September 13-14.

Dark Origins

Melissa Gabler—These days many of the must-have items touted on social media by “influencers” are from very dark origins and meant to enslave and control the purchaser. But rationalism would say, “Don’t be dramatic. You watch too many movies.” That brings me to the next item, entertainment. Entertainment has become such a priority in our culture that it has made its way into many of our churches. Some like to quote movies and throw the world’s songs into worship sets. There are those who hope those sermons are short because they need to get home for “the game”, and we just keep overlooking the demonic that gets more and more obvious in our favorite TV shows. Rationalism: “Oh it’s not that bad. Don’t be so religious!” I recently saw a video of a man bringing someone to deliverance. In the video you would hear the voice of the young man coming to deliverance, then all of a sudden you could hear the voice of the demon. The man doing deliverance asked the demon where it came from and it told him it came through a song. The young man explained that he only listened to the song because he likes the music, but the demon said, “We can use what is ours.” Well, there’s no rationalizing that legal technicality!

Anticipating and Participating in a Kingdom Event


Kathy Gabler—Jesus said, “If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the ones believing.” (Mk.9:23) He was telling him, “Sir, the ‘IF’ is in your court both now and in the future.” The way Jesus handled this situation shows us the Power of the Kingdom was being released for more than that boy. The deliverance was for the whole family.
An equipping insight here is that anticipating and participating in a Kingdom power moment may be more involved than we perceived in the very beginning. It may include prepping people to receive as well as equipping them to hold steady for the future.  Some of the healing evangelists in the last sixty years would require people to be in three meetings before they got in the prayer line.  I have to wonder if they too were trying to affect the thinking of people so they could align with God to keep their healing in the future. 

Lord Help us to Stay Sharp

Marty Gabler—May those who look to the Lord, find that He will help us to stay sharp and enable us to make decisions and to notice things that an entity or a company tries to slip past us, and to notice extra charges that we didn’t bargain for in the beginning and to hear everything the business person is saying on the phone as they quickly go over the list of costs and items. May the Lord help us to not be intimidated into giving in when pressured. May He cause us to see the ol’ “switch-and-bait” coming before it takes its toll. We will no longer just settle for an item or cost we are not agreeable to just so we can get it all over with. 2Thess.3:2-4,Amp—“and [pray] that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not everyone has the faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do the things [which] we command.”
