The Latter Glory of our Lives

KATHY GABLER–Amazingly, God promised even more than this powerful peace that we need. Listen to the rest of the promise: The latter glory of our lives, (our future) will be greater! (Hag.2:9) In future, we will do what we were born to do, more loudly, more intensely, more fruitfully than ever before! We are on the threshold of seeing more of the presence and plan of God manifest in our lives than ever before. We are on the verge of experiencing dimensions of His power like never before. We dare not give up now. God will faithfully weave our experiences, good, bad and ugly, into His good plans for our future life . . . if we will refuse to give up!

Encourage to Sensible Actions

Marty Gabler—As the people of God assemble today may each admonish the other. May each speak and encourage one another to sensible actions as matters are brought up in conversation; for the Word and wisdom of God dwell in His people that they might encourage one another on to sound principles applied in life’s trials.  “Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.” (Rom.15:14, NKJV)

Partner With Yahweh

Marty—In spite of some past inferences we might have heard concerning prayer, Yahweh is not a celestial bellboy waiting in an anteroom for us to ring a bell to do what we require. Rather, in prayer, we partner with God for His purposes in our lives and in this earth. Jesus went apart from the crowd to pray so that He might find how to partner with His Father so He could glorify Him (Jn.5:19).  Jn.12:27, (The Passion Translation) — “Even though I am torn within, and my soul is in turmoil, I will not ask the Father to rescue me from this hour of trial. For I have come to fulfill my purpose—to offer myself to God.”

Distraction and Brainwashing

MELISSA—A couple of months ago I asked the Lord to show me if I was missing anything with all that has been happening in our nation.  I instantly saw a picture of an octopus with more arms than are natural.  On the tip of each arm was either a television, phone, tablet or computer.  I knew this was about distraction and brainwashing.  As I watched, in slow motion, another arm, that was massive, started coming up from the deep.  It did not have any device on the end of it, and it was in motion to land quite a blow on its target.  As it rose from the depths it began to shrink.  By the time it was in position it was completely dwarfed! This led me to declare, You will not have the impact you planned BUT YOU WILL BRING MORE AWAKENING! Fast Forward to recent events:  Darkness tried its best to keep victories from happening but that blow did not land as intended!

These Signs Will Accompany Believers

Kathy Gabler—The scripture says. “These signs will accompany those who believe” (Mk.16:17):  ALL BELIEVERS can cast out demons. ALL BELIEVERS can speak with tongues. ALL BELIEVERS can walk in God’s Authority over every obstacle. ALL BELIEVERS can lay hands on the sick and have them recover.  So, WHY DON’T WE?  It is time to consider things differently and change our minds. It is time to be CONVINCED God’s Word is TRUE. To BELIEVE means “to adhere to, trust in and rely on.” To the extent that we adhere to, trust in and rely on God and His Word is the extent to which we are convinced of His Authority and Power.  We must be CONFIDENT of His Authority.

Calling on God for Great and Mighty Things

Melissa Gabler— Let’s not limit calling on God for great and mighty answers to things we need only. If He says I’ll “show you great and mighty things”, why in the world would we not call on Him on a daily basis to see what awesomeness He has in store for the here and now? The requirement for asking such things daily is to be in a dominion/heaven-on-earth state rather than a victimized one. A victimized state of mind keeps us stuck on “me, my, me”. The way out of victimhood is in truth because it has a tendency to set you free IF you know it by meditating on and living it (John 8:32). This is one of the main issues we face today because we have too much information, whether it be truth or a lie, at our fingertips every moment of every day. Easy access has become the demoralizer of an entitled culture. Yes, this applies to Christians as well.

Soul-Conflicts

Kathy — Soul-conflicts cause ulcers rather than faith. An “ulcer of the soul” is inflammation like agitation, offense, irritation, anger, fear, etc. A wound of the soul is from our history or experience. Neither of those is the starting place for effectual prayer because “ulcers” and wounds can keep us from seeing from God’s perspective. A timely example is that it cripples our faith to pray for our nation if we think God will not interrupt hell’s assignments against our nation. Since 2024 is part of our watch, we can anticipate God’s intervention in our nation this year as we pray and neutralize contradictions that influence daily.

Almighty God, Intervene in our Nation

Marty Gabler—As the people of God assemble today may they lift their voices in a symphony of prayer to call on Almighty God to intervene in our nation in an awakening that transforms the nation to fear God and walk in His ways.  1Tim.2:1-4,Amp—“First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, 2 for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth.

November is For

Marty Gabler—November is for standing in faith and looking forward through the mist of circumstances and predictions that are for the purpose of mounting discouragement against us. It is a time of looking and seeing that our Lord has gone before us and that He has not ceased to be a Father, a Savior, a Deliverer nor a Supplier.  Prov.3:5-6—“With all your heart trust the Lord and not your own judgement. Always let him lead you, and He will clear the road for you to follow. Don’t ever think you are wise enough”.
Eph.1:18,Amp—“And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people),”
