THE Redeemer’s Kingdom Come

MARTY GABLER—The “THY” of “Thy Kingdom come” Has Redemptive Character. If we can call Jehovah God Almighty anything, we can call Him Redeemer. For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, and at last He [the Last One] will stand upon the earth. (Job 19:25, Amp; also Ps.19:14; 78:35; Isa.41:14; 63:16). His character is continually displayed in redemptive acts of many-layered wisdom (Eph.3:10) and they are displayed through His sons (Eph.3:10).


See Great and Mighty Things

MELISSA GABLER—You are no longer under subjugation of fear, diagnosis, lack, delay, the past, oppression, depression, or even snares in your bloodline. You’re on a new page of your life. Just know that things are about to get amazing and shift in ways we cannot imagine. This may seem like a crazy thing to say in the middle of a year that is so chaotic but the truth is far more powerful than the lie.  You are free and about to see great and mighty things on a much larger scale.


Where Anticipation is Often Sabotaged

KATHY GABLER—The Father-son relationship is where anticipation is often sabotaged.  If all we can see in the mirror is who we are now or any given moment, instead of who we were born to be, there is no anticipation because we are not thinking like our Father.  (“As a man continues to think in his heart, so is he”, Prov.23:7)  If we see ourselves as “only human” or not worthy or capable to act in our Father’s authority and power, that roots back to relationship and sonship issues.  If we have to rebuild our sense of covenant every time that doubt or condemnation or failure knocks on our door, we won’t come close to anticipation or God-outcomes.


Our Lord’s Prayer Requests

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may our Lord’s prayer requests be prayed by His people. May those things He desires on earth, in the lives of people be prayed in agreement with His heart and purposes.  “In this manner, therefore, pray:  Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.  10  Your kingdom come.  Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matt.6:9-10, NKJV)


The Kingdom of God is Advancing

MARTY GABLER—I invite you to fill in the blank:  In spite of ______________, the Kingdom of God is advancing.  The Kingdom is advancing in spite of anything you can put in that blank. You are part of something that is bigger than you are and it is still standing and it is still advancing. (1) The wall is still standing. You and I may only be small pebbles in its makeup but we are part of the wall that is still standing.  (2) You and I may not even vaguely resemble King David but we are part of David’s kingly, warring company. (3) You and I may not be Gideon but we are part of the Gideon company that does not consider the odds. We consider Him who has called us.  (4) You and I may not be the whole bucket of water that is being thrown on the fire but we are drops in that bucket that are putting out flames.  (Matt.16:18; Lk.1:33; Ps.145:13; Isa.9:7)

God Sustains Through Battles

Melissa Gabler— “It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindness we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.” Lam. 3:22-23 (AMP).  This makes me cry.  Our God is so faithful to sustain us through battles to our answers.  In fact, His goodness NEVER runs out! This scripture tells us they are NEW EVERY MORNING! There is new strength and grace to be set free right now.  Y’all, He NEVER gave up on plan A which is the John 10:10 abundant life.  We choose to live plan B simply because we don’t have a grasp on His love and true intent for us.


Keys to Recurring Dreams

KATHY GABLER—Two keys in considering recurring dreams are:
(1.) Tolerating troubling, recurring dreams instead of resolving them can water a troubling condition and keep it bearing fruit in your life.
(2.) Get to the root of recurring dreams so they become a tool. Deposits, downloads and disclosures through dreams only become a beneficial tool to us when we follow up with a real life response.

Your Home Filled With Rejoicing

MARTY GABLER—Your Home #19 – May your home be filled with songs and rejoicing because the Lord God Almighty has delivered you when you needed rescue from people and circumstances.  Ps.118:15,LB—“Songs of joy at the news of our rescue are sung in the homes of the godly. The strong arm of the Lord has done glorious things!”


Questions When Fear Comes

Melissa Gabler—Here are some questions to ask when fear strikes, or we aren’t sure if it is fear or wisdom:  What do I need to see about this? What’s at the root of this? What do I need to know about this? Is there an element of this that needs to be dealt with or stopped through prayer, or is this connected to a root that needs to be pulled out? Is this intercession for someone else? These kinds of questions get answered because they are not the questions of a victim, they are questions of an overcomer.  A fear-driven question already has an answer in mind and can’t hear anything but that. A wise question is open to hear truth.  Here’s another question to keep on hand, is this something in the atmosphere that I need to be aware of? I experienced this one recently while in worship.  A headache hit me between the eyes out of no where.  Later I came to realize it was an atmospheric war over what was going on that night.  When identified, the headache left immediately!


Prayer for Mountains to be Revealed

KATHY GABLER—Revealing Mountains-May we be like David as he prayed for the mountains within himself to be revealed in Psalm 139:23,24. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (NKJ) A paraphrased word study reveals this in his prayer: “O God, examine me and reveal my mind, my knowledge, my thinking, my memories, my inclinations, my determinations, my conscience, my moral character, my appetites, my emotions and my passions.  Scrutinize me and reveal my disturbing thoughts and opinions.”  When David asked God to search him for wicked ways he was NOT on a guilt-driven search for evil and moral decay in himself.  The word translated “wicked” here is used only two other times in the Old Testament and both times it was translated “sorrow.”  So David was asking God to see if there were any high places of idolatry in him that had been built on wounds or offense or sorrow or hardship or bitter memories.  He was asking God to see if there  was any experience or threat bigger or more important to him than God.  David knew those things could distort God’s counsel and instructions and even block him from God’s presence.  Every soulish mountain-stronghold becomes a blind spot that blocks us from seeing God’s truth and purpose, thereby keeping us from God’s presence and plans in some part of our life.

Stand on God’s Unfailing Word

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they be taught, reminded, encouraged, assured that God’s Word is just like Him, “the same yesterday, today and forever”. May the people of God encourage one another to stand on His unfailing Word so that as the wind blows and the waves crash, the house will continue to stand.  “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” (Isa.40:8, NKJV)


To See Beyond Our Norm

MARTY GABLER—We must do something to see beyond our norm. What about an imagination that is available to God? Do we only see the mundane and the predictable and then do we pray and limit our expectations from that mundane perspective? Have we sentenced ourselves to only praying within the predictable because of past disappointments and the conclusions of others? Children run around with a towel tied around their neck imagining that they can fly, imagining they are super heroes until we talk them out of it. There is no evidence in scripture that anyone imagined the Red Sea parting. Phillip could not begin to imagine 5,000 people fed with only a couple of little fish and a little bit of bread. What if when we come up against the next impossible situation we just said, “Hey, what awesome way does God want to do this?”  “What would the average person never imagine in this situation?” Graham Cooke was quoted as saying,  “Sometimes I think that sin is not necessarily immorality or selfishness. Sometimes it just means we live drab, colorless, stale, and unimaginative lives before God.” Holy Spirit, quicken the Word of God within us to inspire us to see beyond the limiting realm of our daily existence. ”For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isa.55:9, KJV)


3 Keys to Intercessory Dreams

KATHY GABLER—Three keys considering intercessory dreams:   
(1.) Don’t take vicarious dreams as personal threats, because being afraid will hinder your response. 
(2.) God always gives insight in time if you are being called to make a difference. 
(3.) Never fail to follow through with authoritative declaration of the will of God over the situation or person.

Standing in Freedom

MARTY GABLER—If it were not possible to keep standing in freedom, our Lord would not have commanded us in His Word to do just that. He does not want us to be captive to any degree of slavery. We have been set free to enjoy freedom within the auspices of His character and redemptive purposes. Living our lives under the wisdom and direction of the Word of God leads us in the liberty of sons/daughters who know their Father desires nothing less than the richness of that purchased freedom. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Who has brought us to liberty that we may glorify Him who purchased it.   Gal.5:1,Phillips—”Plant your feet firmly therefore within the freedom that Christ has won for us, and do not let yourselves be caught again in the shackles of slavery.”

Words That Stop You in Your Tracks

MELISSA GABLER—Have you ever been praying and all of a sudden words fall out of your mouth that stop you in your tracks because they came straight from your spirit? That happened to me recently while praying over our nation. I was praying about the deep-seated darkness being exposed, then I heard myself saying this, “Angels attend to the harvest.” I all of a sudden realized that I have had a particular paradigm about “harvest” and in that moment it was turned upside down. I realized in that moment that “harvest” to me has always referred to either people getting saved or financial blessing.  In that moment, I immediately knew it was time for the wicked to receive their harvest.  In other words, it is time for the wicked to reap what they have sown, and angels are seeing to that harvesting!

Mature Sons Who Bring Forth Mature Results

Kathy Gabler—Father God is initiating a maturing season that will bring forth mature sons who get mature results for the Glory of their Father.  When I read 2Cor. 10:3-6, this is what it says to me:  For though we are flesh and blood, when it comes to war we are not limited to physical frailties, human nature or human passions.  For the weapons and tools of our warfare are not fettered by mere human motives and passions with temporal effects.  Rather, we dismantle the powers of darkness by pulling down their conniving efforts to block our knowing God and His instruction that will cause us to prevail.  As we learn to pierce the piece God points out, we will see God-results.  Like our example, we will learn to merely do what He says do and watch God happen.


As a Body of Believers

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they draw on the strength that is in one another. May they not worship God as a bunch of individuals but as the body of believers and may they leave the meeting edified and strengthened by having been participants in loving on their God together.   “I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.” (Ps.22:22, NASB)


Keep Out Tendencies to Obsess

MARTY GABLER—Keep Out! #1–May the power of the Word of God and enablement of the Holy Spirit help us keep out tendencies to obsess over a judgment someone made against us in the past so that we might walk in the liberty and victory of the present.
Then I said, “God-of-the-Angel-Armies, you’re a fair judge.  You examine and cross-examine human actions and motives.  I want to see these people shown up and put down!  I’m an open book before you. Clear my name.” (Jer.11:20, Msg)


Opportunities, Timing and Connections

Melissa Gabler—The prophetic lifestyle opens opportunities, timing and connections.  Opportunities: having the ears to hear to be at the right place at the right time for yourself and others. Timing: none of us understand the timing of God because He is working on so many levels.  It takes a prophetic lifestyle to see beyond the limited vision of our normal dimensions. It can keep you sane where timing is concerned. Connection: Brings lives together for God team-ups, projects, events, etc.  We were never meant to do life alone (1 Corinthians 12:20-21).  In this day and age, this way of life is a total necessity for the body of Christ.

How we Deal With Anger

KATHY GABLER—Anger is a strong passion, which of itself is not sin; but we sin, or miss the mark, by how we DEAL with it, (Eph 4:26-32). We MUST resolve it according to Godly principles, and resolve it QUICKLY!  Ignoring anger does not make it go away. Anger is tangible, as literal as a hot coal. It will burn and destroy . . . health, relationships, opportunities, destiny.  Exploding in temper does not resolve anger because even after the bomb blows, it regenerates if there is no CHANGE of heart or issues!  Unresolved anger can change form until it is unrecognizable.  It can become a witty cynicism.  If my jokes and remarks make people laugh the anger doesn’t seem so dangerous!  But anger can anchor GRIEF to our lives!


Possibilities and Regrets

MARTY GABLER—Would-a, should-a, could-a… ah, those little nagging possibilities and regrets. They are those things that chase away sleep while the mind races and the heart thumps away at an accelerated rate because you feel dumb and have come to the undeniable conclusion that you would have just been better off if you had never gotten out of bed this morning. Right at that point is when you feel lower than a caterpillar’s belly in a wagon rut.  Just a few days ago you felt ten feet tall in the Spirit and now you have to tiptoe to reach the doorknob.
As a mentor told me many years ago, “Forgive yourself and go on.”  Go back to believing what your Lord says about you. Go back and stand on those promises–and it probably wouldn’t hurt to do a little speaking in tongues while you are at it. HE Who raised up Abraham and Sarah and made of them a great people; HE Who raised up Israel after captivity will raise you up again! Forget the would-a, should-a, could-a’s. It’s time to remember The Rock.
“Hearken to Me, you who follow after rightness and justice, you who seek and inquire of [and require] the Lord [claiming Him by necessity and by right]: look to the rock from which you were hewn and to the hole in the quarry from which you were dug; (Isa.51:1, Amp)


Is Abundant Life Guaranteed?

MELISSA GABLER—Look at this, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: 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.


Seeking to Separate

KATHY GABLER—Ultimately a spirit of division seeks to separate God’s creation from God’s Original Intent so that the plans of God fall in history and fail to come to pass. This spirit is stupid enough to set itself against Almighty God and tenacious enough to try anything.  Besides working to separate people and make relationships dysfunctional, it is working against our foundational values and beliefs.  One blatant example is how this spirit is actively attempting to divide freedom from truth.  John 8:32 tells us, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  There is an undeniable link between truth and freedom.  It’s not that truth automatically sets everyone free, it is when we KNOW the truth.  That means when we are aware of the truth, it will make us free.  Truth that we KNOW will liberate or deliver or exempt us from liability.  If people are unaware of truth they can live in total ignorance and live as captives of lies and erroneous beliefs and cunning deceit.  In recent times we have watched deluded people project freedom to be extremes of entitlement and destructive chaos.  Only a self-absorbed and warped mind believes freedom to be totally unrestrained, unaccountable and anything-goes behavior.  Only darkened minds believe they are free when they are captives to misbeliefs and lies. (Isa 44:20 says that a deluded mind cannot even question the lie in his own hand.) When the United States of America declared its independence, our forefathers declared we were no longer subject to the influence or control of another government’s tyranny or its oppressive injustice or its single ruler with absolute power.  The success of this nation’s launching was in the first four words of the Declaration of Independence:  “We hold these truths . . .”   They knew truth to be essential for genuine freedom, and we likewise know freedom  must be in continual covenant with truth.

Infused With True Grit

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today may they be infused with true grit and be inspired to be willing to go the distance many others are not; be willing to face what many others are not; be willing to resist what many others are not; be willing to do what many others are not. May each one be infused with determination for the King and His Kingdom that is born of higher stuff than mere stubbornness. Rom.12:11-12, TPT — “Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him. 12 Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.”
