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.     


No Disappointment Dull Your Sight

Marty Gabler–May the Lord lift your arms high and strengthen you that no discouragement can reach your dreams and no disappointment can dull your sight for the possibilities and victories ahead of you.
“So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees,” (Heb.12:12, Amp)

Sliding Into Weariness

KATHY—If we are tired and ignore tired and do not resolve tired, we can slide into weariness. Then our attitude is affected. Like in an airplane, the wrong “attitude” will change the final outcome.  Attitude that is off a few degrees will influence our decisions and choices, causing them to miss the mark by a few degrees.  That can lead to disappointment, despair and even desperateness.  Recognize the first signs of tiredness and take a break for rest.  It is during those times the Holy Spirit can redefine “well doing” if necessary.  If you get to the “weary” phase you can miss the harvest, you can miss the good results simply because you have lost focus and are not looking.  “And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.” (Gal.6:9, Amp)


In the Midst of Hurried Frenzy

Melissa — For several weeks after Holy Spirit told me, “Your life is about to change drastically” He would remind me what He told me and I would get excited. Well, the day of “drastic” came… suddenly. Simply put, it called for a sudden and drastic change of location. Let’s just say, this was not the “drastic” I was hoping for. In the midst of the hurried frenzy Holy Spirit would once again remind me that He told me this was coming. It really did help, but I had to let it help. I had to choose to get past my disappointed victimhood and find peace in the fact that God is right in the middle of whatever is going on right now. I have to admit that I did not just settle into that place of peace in the midst of God shifting things. The disappointment turned into a bare-knuckle battle daily. I had to calm myself and take a firm stand on the Word of God. (Part 2 of 7)


Positioned by God for Timely Manifestation

Kathy — “Isaacs” are positioned by God, undeniably and undefiably. “Isaacs” prevail over circumstances, impossible odds handpullcurtainand even nature to thrive in God’s plans. Isaacs rise out of disappointment and dismay for His Name’s Sake. “Isaacs,” whether they are events or relationships or awesome changes or resources, are hidden away by God to be honed, groomed and equipped for timely manifestation. Gen.18:14, Amp — “Is anything too difficult or TOO WONDERFUL for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season [for her delivery] comes, I will return to you and Sarah will have a son.”


Are You Battle-Weary?

Kathy — If you are battle-weary, I believe the new year 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” (Prov.13:12, Msg)I expect some sudden good breaks in the year to come.

Welcome Changes

ManWipeBrow.jpgIf you are battle-weary, I believe the last quarter of this year 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, Pro 13:12).  I expect some sudden good breaks in the months to come.  –Kathy Gabler


Give Back Your Dreams

May the Lord give you back your dreams–those dreams that were in your heart DreamBoatLakeNight.jpgbefore 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 2019, September 13-15, 2019.

A Good Fresh Breeze

windbreezeHave you experienced tiresome things stacking on top of other matters that are also tough to handle, and then a week or two later something else gets stacked up on top of those things? Would a good fresh breeze and a good ol’ deep breath of cool air bring relief to your fevered brow? May the Lord grant you a sudden good break that brings you much needed relief. Proverbs 13:12 (Msg) “Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around.” You can pray to God Almighty in this very moment and He will hear your heart’s cry. He is the one who has the power to break unrelenting disappointment. We are praying you discover daily that relationship with Jesus Christ is turning your life around.

2017 — Welcome Changes

CloudSunBreakThruKG — If you are battle-weary, I believe the new year, 2017, will bring welcome 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, Pro 13:12).  I expect some sudden good breaks in the year to come.


 


Focus Back on Possibility

The attitude of cynicism tends to be contagious: the attitude of the person who has been somewhere and it was a disappointing venue, now others PictureFocusdon’t want to go there; the attitude of the person who was married and it was a disappointing experience, now others don’t want to take the chance on marriage; the attitude of the person who went all out to succeed but they ended up broke and embarrassed for having even tried, now others are afraid to step out. Cynicism displaces anticipation and induces lethargy. We must dwell on the God of the impossible and His Word that brings our focus back to all possibility. He is God and will never cease being everything He has always been. Our experiences plus the experiences of others, or even the lack of experiences, do not determine the ability of God to do wonders among His people. The Bible does not say, “All things are possible to him who has always had a perfect track record.” But it does say, “… If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” (Mk.9:23, NKJV)

Moving From Burdened To Rest

Moving From Burdened To Rest

Rest is not giving up and flopping down on the ground. And after kicking and screaming until we are worn out, then lying in a puddle of tears while God, in bountiful pity, puts all the puzzle pieces in place just as we prefer them. “Rest” is not sitting down and doing nothing. After recent events in this nation, it is not time to pray less or stop praying. We must not stop assembling ourselves, must not stop giving, must not stop shining. It is time to pray more, assemble ourselves more, give more and shine more. “Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!” (Isa.60:1)

“Rest” is responsibly acting in the authority we have been given; our rest is that “I know (perceive, have knowledge of, and am acquainted with) Him Whom I have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on), and I am [positively] persuaded that He is able to guard and keep that which has been entrusted to me and which I have committed [to Him] until that day. (2Tim.1:12) Rest is not inactivity but activity couched in a holy confidence in spite of circumstances.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.” (Matt.11:28)
