Jim Hodges—Configuration is basically defined as: “The way the parts of something are arranged to work together.” You could illustrate this in a computer. Hardware and software are arranged or configured to work together. In the world of chemistry, we observe an arrangement of atoms in a molecule that defines their relationship and function. In the world of theology, let me say it this way: Through the work of Christ in redemption, you and I are reconfigured to our original configuration. Paul in Ephesians 1:3-11 declares that you and I were adopted by Father God in Christ before creation. We were configured in Christ; we were arranged as a son or a daughter of God. To say it another way, I refer now to Paul in I Corinthians 15:45-49 — you and I were in the Last Adam before we were in the First Adam. That is our original configuration! But because of our first parents’ sin (I Cor. 15:22), death was passed to us and our configuration was corrupted! But through Christ, His death and resurrection, we are reconfigured to be who we really are in the Last Adam. Out of personal identity, we then get arranged or configured by the Holy Spirit to be a part of the Body of Christ and find our Kingdom assignments. Reconfiguration, then, leads to both our individual spiritual maturity and to a release of a glorious Church in the earth — many sons and daughters who are like the Son of God!

HOW TO PREPARE
Melissa Gabler—I want to talk about where we are and how to prepare for what is coming. About four years ago I had a vision about the U.S. in which I saw the American church (as a whole) represented by large, white, stoic columns. The columns were lifeless, traditional structures. All of a sudden the earth began to rumble and all of the columns fell. I looked away for a second and when I looked back, in the place of the columns were green plants growing and people moving all around them. There was life where there was not before. I believe this intense shaking is upon us now.
Why must we be shaken? The American church as a whole has too much doubt, unbelief, skepticism and rationalism mixed in. Rationalism is – “the principle or habit of accepting reason as the supreme authority in matters of opinion, belief, or conduct and the doctrine that reason alone is a source of knowledge and is independent of experience”. Rationalism is based on what we can see and what we have been told from man’s wisdom. For example, the hot social issues demonically fueled by rationalism say, “We just need to love more.” No, we just need to deal with what’s in the atmosphere causing such problems! It has become very easy to rationalize away the power of God and His Word because it doesn’t fit the American ideal of how life should go and issues should be resolved. For the most part, our nation has been hypnotized into believing a Sunday-morning-feel-good message and some Christian radio throughout the week is all we need. As we all know, that’s not working.

Repentance Ushers in Release
Kathy Gabler– Repentance ushers in release and change for everyone. One reason we avoid it is shame locks us down. The fact that we need to think differently and change feels like an indictment against our self-image or even worse, against our Christianity. That’s the deception of shame in action. The truth is that repentance brings healthy changes and change is part of the process of maturing and overcoming. 2Co.7:10, TPT — “God designed us to feel remorse over sin in order to produce repentance that leads to victory. This leaves us with no regrets. But the sorrow of the world works death.”

Bowing Your Knee
MELISSA GABLER—The Holy Spirit presented this to me awhile back, “Either you are bowing your knee in awe and reverence to Me or you are bowing your knee in tolerance and submission to everything else.” How can we see miracles when we are bowing our knee to the impossibilities mounted against us? How can we leave a winning legacy when we count ourselves among the doomed statistics of disease and age and depletion and debt? It’s really starting to make sense why we have only seen glimpses of effectualness. So many have been under the control of the enemy who planted subtle deposits of fear for years through platforms to which we’ve given our trust and they didn’t work. But now it’s our time. We get to be alive for this! We get to be alive for the awakening and to bring the Kingdom to earth in ways we’ve never seen before.

The Strain of Faith?
KATHY GABLER—Many times through the years I remember straining to have faith. I do believe that started when I was about eight years old. I was watching Peter Pan and was straining “to believe” so that the fairy Tinker Bell’s light would not go out. (I don’t think it’s happenstance when Disney distorts your theology, it’s a goal.) That childhood experience put a subtle twist in my understanding of faith that became a misbelief for years. Then when I heard the Scripture that “without faith it is impossible to please God”, that intensified my struggle to get to faith because it was coupled with the drive to please God! These were unseen battles going on in my soul but they created tangible stress in my life. And that stress continued for years until I stopped to consider this question: Is there such a thing as the STRESS of FAITH? The short answer is “NO.” Since stress indicates we have not come to the rest of faith, stress is actually a sign of not-yet faith. The rest of faith comes with alignment with God’s will and word, not our straining efforts.

Preserved in Purpose
MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today may the people of God all worship Him and call on His name in one accord. And may they find, as they go through the week, that they are preserved in their person, their family, their job and their purpose. Ps.31:23, NKJV — “Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person.” v.23, EXB — “Love the Lord, all you who belong to him [loyal ones; saints]. The Lord protects those who truly believe [are faithful], but he punishes [repays] the proud as much as they have sinned [those who act with pride].”

Prayer Concern for our School Children
MARTY GABLER—We are concerned for our children today, Holy Father. We pray that, where earthly fathers have failed, You reach out Your protecting Hand and speak with Your guiding Voice to the children and Youth of our nation. We pray that Your Presence would be known on our school campuses through the believers that are on site and that Your Holy Spirit would strengthen and give wisdom to the teachers and school officials for the appropriate education and safety of our children. We declare that the hand of the Lord is moving in behalf of our children and that no spirit or enemy that has designs on harming or destroying them shall succeed. We declare that no weapon formed against this generation will prosper. We declare an awakening of the righteous purpose of Almighty God in this generation that they might live righteously, courageously, and effectively to Your glory. “I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one.” (Jn.17:15, Amp)

Ask for Insight and Understanding
MELISSA — This passage is a perfect tool for this time: Proverbs 2:3-6, “make your ear attentive to wisdom and incline your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;” Ask for insight and understanding and you will begin to awaken to the fear of the Lord. Then you will understand how to navigate through what is at hand and what is to come. This is our opportunity to demonstrate the Kingdom of God and leave an effectual legacy centered in the fear of the Lord. I’ve heard so many times over the last couple of years that revival is coming. Yes, revival is coming, and it will come through awakened people bowing their knee to the Almighty God.
