Identify the Weapons Formed Against Us

Marty Gabler—I declare that in 2025 Father God will enable us to identify the weapons that have been formed against our children, loved ones and nation.  Isa.54:17 says, “no weapon formed against you shall prosper.” Theologians have said Ps.74:16 is an announcement of the universal dominion of God. “The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established the [starry] light and the sun.” (Ps.74:16) He has dominion over all and over all things. Therefore, nothing may be kept from His awareness nor from His ability to intervene. He will disperse light upon whatsoever He will. He sees into the darkness–nothing is hidden. Nothing may remain hidden and therefore, nothing can possibly be a surprise.  Wisdom is to access His knowledge. Seeking His face in particular about this matter and giving Him opportunity and time to speak will bring His knowledge of those weapons and wisdom to pray and declare concerning them. Declare: “No weapon formed against my children or my church or my nation shall prosper.”


Father says: Call Unto Me and I Will Answer

MELISSA GABLER—I had an experience that might not be a bad idea to apply all through 2025. During a time of ministry at a meeting awhile back 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.


Reasons for Warfare

Kathy —It appears that we will have plenty of spiritual warfare to keep us busy in 2025. I’ve always thought the only reason to go to war is to win, but I’m beginning to realize there are other reasons for warfare. Some battles are a matter of training our soul (our mind and will and emotions) to stand and develop muscle to be able to stand no matter what. Eph. 6:13 puts it this way: And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm. The goal of warfare can also be to take ground incrementally in Divine timing. There are many maneuvers needed to pull down strongholds in this present darkness. It is a bigger war than we can wage from one battlefield. This present darkness is a matter of world rulers that are spirit forces of wickedness in the spirit realm. These forces gather to form strongholds, and there they influence and manipulate people like puppets for their evil intents to kill, steal and destroy. That’s why Eph 6:12 tells us we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. These forces must be dismantled strategically and incrementally along with the workers of darkness they deploy into this present darkness.


Looking to the Future


Marty Gabler—As the people of God assemble today, may they build one another up in hope as they look to the future with expectancy for the purposes of God Almighty to be fulfilled in their lives and in their church family.”So then, let us pursue [with enthusiasm] the things which make for peace and the building up of one another [things which lead to spiritual growth].” (Rom.14:19, Amp)


If You are Battle-Weary

Kathy Gabler — If you are battle-weary, I believe the new year, 2025, will bring welcomed changes.  I’m not implying battles will stop suddenly and everybody goes on vacation.  I’m saying many long-term battles will end because you finally win.  “Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around” (Msg, Prov. 13:12).  I expect some sudden good breaks in the year to come.     


What of the New Year?

Marty Gabler—What of the New Year? — Thoughts, Plans & Inventions —— The Psalmist declares he is aware that He is included in God’s thoughts. One of the meanings of “thoughts” (Jer.29:11) is “an invention.” God has a plan for you in 2025 and, if necessary, He will INVENT required elements to work together to get you to that goal that glorifies Him and serves His purposes. He is beneficent and He is creative.
“thoughts”: a device, a plan, a purpose, AN INVENTION (Thayer) “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” (Jer.29:11, Amp)

End Old Year Well

Marty Gabler—As the people of God assemble today, may they realize the value of ending the old year well that they may begin the new one well. May they turn from the uncompleted tasks and the failures of the past year that is behind them; turn from those things that seem to be accusing them and threatening them of repetition in the future. May they, in concerted determination, turn and face and bless and praise Jahweh who is the wise Securer of the future of His people, and move forward with faith in Him alone.   “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jer.29:11, NKJV)
