With God, what you do not see in this moment is entirely possible in the next moment. We can allow our anticipation to be fueled by various and sundry reports or we can separate ourselves from superficial and culturally accepted norms. Josh.3:5 “Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, FOR tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.” We could, just as well, use here the word “sanctify”. It basically means “to set apart from”. That “setting apart from” is for a purpose, not simply being set over to the side as attempting to not be identified with something. (This is the fifth excerpt from Marty’s article “Anticipation”.)

As the people of God assemble today, may there be faith stirred in hearts concerning those who have been absented from the local fellowship. May there be expectancy that they be returned to the fellowship to edify and, once again, take their place on the wall.
“May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent and hidden one from another.” (GEN. 31:49, Amp)

The warning our Lord gives in Matt.7:1 (“judge not lest you be judged”) is wise counsel to not judge (Gk.: krino) superficially or based upon mere opinion. That is why, in 1Cor.2:15, we are to be spiritual (not merely superficial) by examining and discerning information. Rather than going about saying, “He said ‘this’” or “She said ‘that’” why can’t we develop the habit of declaring, “But God said in His Word…..”?

Many people do not feel secure in many locations throughout their comings and goings of a week. But I pray you find your home to be that 
place. May your home be a sanctuary and may you be at peace there. May you find comfort and safety within its walls and comfort from those who dwell there. May you have quiet and solitude and not be invaded by inordinate noise and commotion of nearby dwellings. There is a promise Jehovah gave Israel that I believe those who trust in Jesus can claim for their families: (Jer.30:10b, GNT) “…You will come back home and live in peace; you will be secure, and no one will make you afraid.” We are praying you discover daily that you are at peace in your home.

Disaster prevention may be found in as simple a form as judging before deciding. “But he that is spiritual judgeth all things…” (1Cor.2:15a, KJV) The Amplified version sets it in terminology that gives us a good definition of the word “judge” (Gk.: anakrino) in this context: “But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things]…”. Numerous times I have heard the biblical phrase “judge not lest you be judged” witlessly rattled off while accepting things that were quite preposterous (even dangerous). It would seem that the primary aim of our taking the time and wisdom to judge should be to examine if the report/information is in agreement with the Word of God. (Compare: Lev.19:15b; Ps.82:2; Prov.31:9; Lk.12:57; Jn.7:24) This is the third excerpt from Marty’s article “Anticipation”.)

All sorts of people make suggestions and offer advice on a daily basis. But let us receive the faithful words of true friends, counselors, fathers 
and mothers, and make the proper adjustments to become more effective in the purposes of our Lord and be more valuable to others. May their words propel us forward. And may we treat unqualified opinions and criticisms as water off a duck’s back and refuse to let them anchor us to unwarranted sloth. (Prov.27:6 KJV) “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” (Prov.27:6, GNB) “Friends mean well, even when they hurt you. But when an enemy puts his arm around your shoulder—watch out!” We are praying you discover daily the benefit of godly counselors.

As the people of God assemble today, may they be filled with the fullness of God and challenged to a new level in what our Lord has in His purposes for each member of the Body of Christ, as we stand for our families and as we confront the present climate of culture in our nation.
“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” (Eph.3:18-20, KJV)

Zeal can attract people and even hold their devotion for a time. But zeal cannot replace character nor can it substitute for lack of character. Character, not zeal, is the wineskin for the new wine of the new level or the new season of authority. I have seen zealous people split churches and destroy the reputation of a church in a community in a fraction of the time it took to build that reputation. I have seen zeal undo the work of spiritual leadership in a hurting person and drive that person from the church. But character builds, sustains and adds to. It doesn’t take away.
“For Barnabas was a good man [privately and publicly—his godly character benefited both himself and others] and he was full of the Holy Spirit… And a great number of people were brought to the Lord.” (Acts 11:24, Amp)

Just because you do not communicate or give at the same level or in the same manner as other people, does not mean that you are to hold back what God has for you to release for others. In Jn.6:9 the little boy did not hold back his little lunch of loaves and fishes just because it wasn’t sufficient in the eyes of some. He didn’t withdraw saying, “This won’t do any good.” He released it and Jesus took the little and made it sufficient for many. (Lk.16:10a, Amp) Jesus: “He who is faithful in a very little [thing] is faithful also in much…” We are praying you discover daily that you are not holding back but offering your best for God’s highest good.

It is not unusual to hear something like, “But the guy who works at my office said ‘such and such’.” “But I read an article on the internet and it 
said ‘this and that’!” I have observed people making decisions and acting on something reported by a casual acquaintance or even a stranger. How often do we stop and measure the person speaking, much less the source and agenda of their argument? Why would we, in the moment, take their report as though they were expert on the subject (especially a total stranger on the internet) or that they are reporting it absolutely accurately? When we do not properly weigh information, no matter how zealously reported, we may likely end up with its consequences. Once we take a sober assessment of our personal history, many of us will probably find that we have been the recipient of those things we have anticipated that came out of an off-hand statement someone made.

When our little friend got demerits at school, on several occasions, for talking so much his grandmother asked him why he does. He replied, “I’ve got a lot to say”. Sometimes it’s just best not to say anything. May the Lord help us to not speak when it would be wiser to just listen in particular settings; and may we trust the Lord to handle the outcome of what we felt was so important to say in those settings. (1Thess.4:11, KJV) “…study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;” We are praying you discover daily that you are studying to be quiet until wisdom releases you to speak.

Each of us already has a pretty full plate of anticipation about coming days and events. We are built to anticipate. If we are honest, I believe we will admit that we are continually anticipating what is ahead whether we are anticipating good or bad, productive or nonproductive, desired or undesirable. Right in the middle of it all it would be quite helpful to us if we considered that it is quite difficult to anticipate the provision or intervention of God if we are not looking to God and His Word. Ps.145:15 (NKJV) “The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season.” (NET) “Everything looks to you in ANTICIPATION, and you provide them with food on a regular basis.” (This is the first excerpt from Marty’s article “Anticipation”.)

As the people of God assemble today, may they anticipate the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God in each other’s lives and circumstances. May they agree in prayer and declare that intervention and may they anticipate the goodness of God.

When you think about the purpose for your life, how do you think about yourself? We think of ourselves as human, male or female, young or old but have you ever thought of yourself as a living stone? Peter says that each believer is a “living stone” in 1Pe.2:5. That is a designation with purpose. May you see the value of your place as a living stone in the household of God. May you be faithful and augment the local work where God has set you. (1Pe.2:5, Msg) “Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.” We are praying you discover daily that you are a living stone.

God simply does not produce junk. He didn’t create humanity with
only “one shot” to make it a good life, so “you better not mess up” or get
sick in the process or “your life is over”. In fact, God Himself created the
original warranty when Jesus took those stripes on His back (Isa. 53:5 &
1Pe. 2:24). Yeah, that’s right, we have a never ending warranty on us, signed
in blood. This warranty includes, “…all things that pertain unto life
and godliness” (2Pe. 1:3). We have in us what we need right now, at this
moment in time, for ourselves AND for our nation. Dare I even say, for
the world. We have it because we have a relationship with Jesus Christ
which opens us up to be a floodgate of Heaven on earth. It’s only through
relationship that we gain understanding of the covenant. It’s our relationship
with the King of Kings that sharpens and broadens our vision to see
the treasures and promises in His covenant.–Melissa Gabler

That “BID me COME” is in the heart of all of us. It is deep calling unto deep and JESUS is saying to us too, “COME ON!” There is no need for us to 
live a watered-down version of what God had in mind for our lifetime. We don’t have to leave a wimpy, skimpy heritage. Fear may hold us in the boat and tempt us to refuse the dominion mandate, but there is a stronger force at work in us. There is a heart’s cry, “Lord, BID me COME.” We may consider just stepping back from sonship and dominion because we have not seen it or lived it vividly yet, but dominion is not about being an experienced son, it is about being an obedient son. There will be times in all of us that the cry of “BID me COME” stirs in our breast and we have a choice to respond to the Lord’s, “Come on.”

Do you need your life to shift in the next few weeks? It is possible to shift. Just what can we shift? It is possible to shift our anticipation 
from negative to positive. Our family or cultural background may have us anticipating something that is not at all going to happen. How many people have misinterpreted a bump in the night? The character of God, the Word of God and His Kingdom purposes are our anticipation. Our risen Lord and His original intent for our lives and this nation are our anticipation. Whatever God did once in the Bible, He can do again in our lifetime. (Ps.145:15, NET) “Everything looks to You in anticipation”. We are praying you discover daily that you are shifting and readying yourself for a God-turn in your life.

Is the best teaching we can give people the one which tells them they can escape their problems or is it the one that shows them God and His Word is their ability to 
overcome them? “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work (1Jn.3:8).” “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith (1Jn.5:4).” “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full(Jn.10:10).” “They overcame him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony (Rev.12:11).” Escaping problems isn’t the answer. The resolve of problems by the power of Almighty God is the answer. The greatest testimony to the name of God is not that He can snatch His puny people out of a menacing mess that is too much for them. The greatest testimony is that His power in their lives has brought them victory over every stronghold and principality in this present earth.

As the people of God assemble today, may they “anticipate the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God”. May we forsake familial and cultural anticipation that is focused on temporal and carnal expectations and human experience. May the people of God stand firmly in the assurance that what Almighty God did in the Bible, He can most certainly do again in our lifetime.

(MELISSA GABLER is speaking at Kingdom Congress 2017. This is an excerpt from one of her articles.) Have you ever had times when a revelatory nugget pops up, then within days you hear the same nugget from other sources? That’s been happening as of late and I’m learning 
to pay attention to those! Following is one such instance that has been not only ringing in my ear, but answering some of those seemingly unanswerable questions.
While in conversation this was quoted to me from a book, “God hides some things for specific times so that the enemy cannot destroy them.” That stuck with me, and a couple of days later I read a quote from some- one else that was expressing the exact same thought! Well, that really hit me between the eyes, especially because these came from trusted sources. It was an “Are you listening?” moment.
I began meditating on God hiding something for a specific time, and it felt like this statement began filling cracks in my understanding.
If God cloaks something for a time, it is not only to hide it from the devil and his destructive minions, but it is also to hide it from our own self sabotage. Yes, the devil and self-sabotage are two different things. How- ever, the devil LOVES stoking the flames of self sabotage! All we have to do is let our fears and concerns fall out of our mouths like kindling for the enemy’s threatening bonfire. So many times we make the devil’s job so easy.

With God, what you do not see in this moment is entirely possible in the next moment. We can allow our anticipation to be fueled by various and sundry reports or we can separate ourselves from superficial and culturally accepted norms. Josh.3:5 “Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, FOR tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.” We could, just as well, use here the word “sanctify”. It basically means “to set apart from”. That “setting apart from” is for a purpose, not simply being set over to the side as attempting to not be identified with something. (This is the fifth excerpt from Marty’s article “Anticipation”.)
The warning our Lord gives in Matt.7:1 (“judge not lest you be judged”) is wise counsel to not judge (Gk.: krino) superficially or based upon mere opinion. That is why, in 1Cor.2:15, we are to be spiritual (not merely superficial) by examining and discerning information. Rather than going about saying, “He said ‘this’” or “She said ‘that’” why can’t we develop the habit of declaring, “But God said in His Word…..”?
place. May your home be a sanctuary and may you be at peace there. May you find comfort and safety within its walls and comfort from those who dwell there. May you have quiet and solitude and not be invaded by inordinate noise and commotion of nearby dwellings. There is a promise Jehovah gave Israel that I believe those who trust in Jesus can claim for their families: (Jer.30:10b, GNT) “…You will come back home and live in peace; you will be secure, and no one will make you afraid.” We are praying you discover daily that you are at peace in your home. (Marty’s Daily Discovery as heard on TEXAS PRAISE RADIO at the bottom of the hour 24 hours/day.) CLICK HERE TO LISTEN
Disaster prevention may be found in as simple a form as judging before deciding. “But he that is spiritual judgeth all things…” (1Cor.2:15a, KJV) The Amplified version sets it in terminology that gives us a good definition of the word “judge” (Gk.: anakrino) in this context: “But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things]…”. Numerous times I have heard the biblical phrase “judge not lest you be judged” witlessly rattled off while accepting things that were quite preposterous (even dangerous). It would seem that the primary aim of our taking the time and wisdom to judge should be to examine if the report/information is in agreement with the Word of God. (Compare: Lev.19:15b; Ps.82:2; Prov.31:9; Lk.12:57; Jn.7:24) This is the third excerpt from Marty’s article “Anticipation”.)
and mothers, and make the proper adjustments to become more effective in the purposes of our Lord and be more valuable to others. May their words propel us forward. And may we treat unqualified opinions and criticisms as water off a duck’s back and refuse to let them anchor us to unwarranted sloth. (Prov.27:6 KJV) “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” (Prov.27:6, GNB) “Friends mean well, even when they hurt you. But when an enemy puts his arm around your shoulder—watch out!” We are praying you discover daily the benefit of godly counselors.
Keep Out! #2 – -May the power of the Word of God and enablement of the Holy Spirit help us keep out tendencies to obsess over difficult people.
Just because you do not communicate or give at the same level or in the same manner as other people, does not mean that you are to hold back what God has for you to release for others. In Jn.6:9 the little boy did not hold back his little lunch of loaves and fishes just because it wasn’t sufficient in the eyes of some. He didn’t withdraw saying, “This won’t do any good.” He released it and Jesus took the little and made it sufficient for many. (Lk.16:10a, Amp) Jesus: “He who is faithful in a very little [thing] is faithful also in much…” We are praying you discover daily that you are not holding back but offering your best for God’s highest good. (Marty’s Daily Discovery as heard on TEXAS PRAISE RADIO at the bottom of the hour 24 hours/day. Click here to listen: TEXAS PRAISE RADIO)
said ‘this and that’!” I have observed people making decisions and acting on something reported by a casual acquaintance or even a stranger. How often do we stop and measure the person speaking, much less the source and agenda of their argument? Why would we, in the moment, take their report as though they were expert on the subject (especially a total stranger on the internet) or that they are reporting it absolutely accurately? When we do not properly weigh information, no matter how zealously reported, we may likely end up with its consequences. Once we take a sober assessment of our personal history, many of us will probably find that we have been the recipient of those things we have anticipated that came out of an off-hand statement someone made.
When our little friend got demerits at school, on several occasions, for talking so much his grandmother asked him why he does. He replied, “I’ve got a lot to say”. Sometimes it’s just best not to say anything. May the Lord help us to not speak when it would be wiser to just listen in particular settings; and may we trust the Lord to handle the outcome of what we felt was so important to say in those settings. (1Thess.4:11, KJV) “…study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;” We are praying you discover daily that you are studying to be quiet until wisdom releases you to speak.
Each of us already has a pretty full plate of anticipation about coming days and events. We are built to anticipate. If we are honest, I believe we will admit that we are continually anticipating what is ahead whether we are anticipating good or bad, productive or nonproductive, desired or undesirable. Right in the middle of it all it would be quite helpful to us if we considered that it is quite difficult to anticipate the provision or intervention of God if we are not looking to God and His Word. Ps.145:15 (NKJV) “The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season.” (NET) “Everything looks to you in ANTICIPATION, and you provide them with food on a regular basis.” (This is the first excerpt from Marty’s article “Anticipation”.)
As the people of God assemble today, may they anticipate the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God in each other’s lives and circumstances. May they agree in prayer and declare that intervention and may they anticipate the goodness of God.

Fear may hold us in the boat and tempt us to refuse the dominion mandate, but there is a stronger force at work in us.
