Why Awakening is so Intense

MELISSA GABLER — It is all starting to make sense why this awakening is so intense.  We have the opportunity to move from a substandard life to a premium life if we will embrace this alarm and not press the snooze button! This moment really is an invitation to something incredible.  This is an invitation to enter into and function from the fear of the Lord for the sake of the Kingdom and for His glory.  I really like the sound of that.  I really want to live that.


Perfect Tool for This Time

MELISSA GABLER— 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 don’t 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.

Awakening to Fear of the Lord

Melissa Gabler — I believe the awakening Holy Spirit is bringing us to is an awakening to the fear of the Lord. We are indeed headed into not only understanding but living in the fear of the Lord. I grew up hearing that the fear of the Lord is awe, reverence and respect for God, and it is, but there is still more. Here’s how the Holy Spirit presented it to me a month ago, “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.”

Embracing Norms

MELISSA–My eyes are being opened to how far below par we have been living when God’s intention all along has been for us to reside above par. This awakening is exposing agendas that have been built to lull us and control us.  These agendas use normal everyday things we allow in our lives because it’s a “norm” in society.  There are things like pop culture, entertainment, news and standards that we call wisdom when in reality it’s man’s wisdom.  Side note: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of [true] wisdom where man’s wisdom comes from fearing everything else.  One fear leads to life abundantly and the other leads to an early grave. I have been guilty of living a life embracing man’s wisdom and society’s norms and I’ve noticed a whole lot of ineffectualness.  We have been progressing through levels of awakening for a while now, but it’s about to get real in each of us, maybe for the first time. 


It’s Not Over

MELISSA – So, the Gablers just had a powwow and here’s what we decided: First, even the non-MSM we have been following is not worth following anymore as everything is “seemingly” crashing and burning. Second, what we have are the prophetic words we’ve heard and believed. Third, THIS IS NOT OVER. Lastly, our number one prayer is that the fear of the Lord hit this nation, and that He deliver us from evil!  Job 28:28, King James Version – “And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”


Fear and the Dark Agenda

Melissa—With all that troubles and threatens in this present world, let me say a little about this fear issue.  Psalm 19:9a says, “The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever”. If there is a clean fear then that means there is an unclean fear.  The state we are in is from harboring, cherishing, holding in mind, showing hospitality to either unclean fear or the fear of the Lord.  Our life and belief system will show us which one we are entertaining.  Unclean fear has allowed a very dark agenda to take hold of our nation, churches and our lives. That is why we must allow Holy Spirit to deal with things that haven’t been dealt with yet.


Abundance of Salvation and Wisdom in Our Times

As the people of God assemble today may they worship Yahweh in His holiness and His wisdom which shaped the world and keeps His people in the palm of His hand. May they receive the Father’s wisdom by His Word and His Spirit and may they share it one with another for resolve of trying pressures that seem unrelenting. Isa.33:6,Amp—“And there shall be stability in your times, an abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the reverent fear and worship of the Lord is your treasure and His.”


Awakening and the Fear of the Lord

Melissa—While hearing about awakening coming, I had no idea it was going to look like this. So, this makes me ask, what are we awakening to? The thing that hits me the loudest is that we are being awakened to the fear of the Lord.  I’ve heard from several places that the church has to return to the fear of the Lord, and as He sheds insight on this subject it makes more and more sense why we cannot live outside of it.  Well, we have been living outside of it for the most part and that just isn’t working.  If we are awaking to the fear of the Lord, what have we been in? We’ve been operating in fear, but it’s a substandard fear.  A substandard fear is fear of lack, death, pain, trauma, loss, etc.  We, however, are waking up to what we were meant to operate in, which is the premium fear of the Lord.  In this premium fear we operate out of awe, reverence, trust, insight and understanding.  This is a totally different way of living! Substandard fear is unclean fear, but premium fear of the Lord is clean fear (Ps.19:9).  This obviously leads to totally different outcomes. (Part 2 of 6)


May Our Nation be Saved

ManPrayHandsUpRockAs the people of God assemble today may they realize the authority and the effectiveness they have in the earth as the ekklesia of God (Matt.16:18, TPT — “I give you the name Peter, a stone. And this rock will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build my church [ekklesia]—my legislative assembly, and the power of death will not be able to overpower it”.  May they pray for and speak the purposes of Jehovah God over our nation so that the fear of the Lord may come upon all His enemies, so that our nation may be saved from those who seek to destroy it. 2Chron.20:29, Amp — “And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.”


Wake up to Abundance

Melissa — Look at this, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to VineGrapes2destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) The first half of this verse is substandard and the second half is premium. I am always drawn to that word “might” in this passage. That tells me abundant life is not a guarantee.  It’s not a guarantee to those that are asleep because their life is ruled by substandard, unclean fear.  If we don’t wake up we can’t operate in the abundance.
