The Reason For The Troubling

They were soon to launch upon a new era in their lives:  ministering and facing opposition, facing the world, its issues and needs without Jesus’ physical presence. They would Launch pad firenow be the ones 1.) dealing directly with religious opposition in all forms, 2.) dealing directly with devils in all forms and 3.) dealing directly with the great weight of human need. They would no longer be standing behind Him observing, listening as He authoritatively dealt with each person and each situation with acts of power. They are now the ones who will be speaking authoritatively and performing acts of power or the troubles will go uncontradicted and needs will continue unmet and unabated. Therefore, it is no wonder that their hearts were troubled, distressed, agitated. Yet, if our Lord commands us to not let our heart be troubled, we have the ability (through Him) to not let our heart be troubled. He would not carelessly command what we could not obey.

Along with a great line-up of anointed men and women of God, Marty will be speaking at the SEEC Kingdom Conference * Mar.5-7.  Conference details are at  martygabler.com/ctk-conference/  and you may hear a few excerpts of Apostles Hodges’ message 


May The Lord Hinder The Hinderer

shepherd sheep wolfMay the Lord turn situations completely around to your benefit. May the Lord shut the mouths of those who are attempting to hinder your progress and purpose and defeat their attempts.

Just received a call about a man several of us have been agreeing with in prayer. For several years, several of his superiors had decided to prevent any promotions for him. They were hindering his being facilitated properly to get his job done, attempting to make him look bad. Some were jealous of his success in his projects. But now, suddenly, the Lord has turned the tables and they all are apologizing to him and helping him! God is not finished with people or situations they create. Look for Him to turn it all around.

“The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.” (Ps.107:42, Amp)
“You who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.” (Ps.97:10, NKJV)

Below is a link to a short audio file from Jim Hodges’ message at the SEEC Kingdom Conference in 2013.

For the 2014 Conference Apostle Hodges says:
“The question is not how much does the Kingdom advance before the King returns.  The question is how much will the Body of Christ pray and participate in the agenda of the Kingdom of God in the culture.  An increasing Kingdom that was prophesied by Isaiah demands an anointed, activated, and fearless people of God”.

THE LAW OF GROWTH AND INCREASE

God’s Word is working in us to improve us and increase us (Col 1:29). His Word is in you. His Word is a seed. A seed does not exist just to be a little round thing snuggled up in the ground. A seed exists to sprout, to push up out of the ground, to grow a stalk and put out leaves and blooms so that it may produce fruit and that fruit is meant to be of benefit to others. God’s Word is a seed in us and it is apples-on-treegrowing in us (Lk 8:11). A seed cannot stay as it is, it must increase (Jn 12:24). There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace…(Isa 9:7). The seed in the parable of the sower is the Word of God (Lk 8:11) and because the Kingdom government of Jesus cannot stay the same but must increase, that seed of His Kingdom must increase in us. It must increase in each of us so that it can affect our families, our churches, our communities and our nation. That’s why the seed is growing in us.

Increase Of Signs And Wonders


Increase Of Signs And Wonders (Kathy Gabler)
Just by being born again, we’re already positioned for Kingdom thinking.  In John 3:5,  Jesus said being born of water and [of] the Spirit is the way to enter into the Kingdom of God. When you heard the call to be born again, was the emphasis on entering the Kingdom so you could participate in God’s will being done on earth as in heaven, or was the emphasis on escaping hell?  We are not on earth just to get saved, stay saved and go to heaven.  Your salvation is much more awesome.  It is empowerment for life!  You are on earth with a purpose.  You are part of what God is doing in the history of the world, history that has already been written, because God knows the end before the beginning, Isa 46:10. We are here to demonstrate a higher government to a generation.  Isaiah 9:7 says there will be no end to the increase of His Government and Peace.  Therefore, there will be no end to the increase of signs and wonders as His government manifests in powerful contradiction over conditions of darkness.
