Lord, Grant Recovery

MARTY GABLER–May the Lord grant His people recovery from time spent in ill health; and restore lost strength, lost income and lost time.  Jer.33:6,EB—“But then I will bring health [recovery] and healing to the people there. I will heal them and let them enjoy [reveal to them] great [an abundance of] peace and safety [security].”


Resurrection Power was Unleashed

MELISSA GABLER—The day resurrection power was unleashed on earth was the day our life’s intention was set in place. We were born to seek out the reality of heaven and live it here – “…seek and keep on seeking and you will find“ Matt. 7:7, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matt. 6:10. Earth and the humans God placed in it were not a gamble that He hoped would work out in His favor. His fingers are not crossed. His ultimate plan has dominion in its DNA and that’s a ticking time bomb the enemy is trying to disarm. That ultimate plan is us, made in His image. The clock is ticking down to the enemy’s demise and that is why things are full on insane and only heating up.


What Comes From Walking in Relationship With Jesus?

Until They See the Kingdom

KATHY GABLER—Let’s find insight in one of Jesus’ examples of the Power of the Kingdom in Mark 9.  In verse 1, Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”  In Mar 9:2, six days later, three of them did see it. Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain.  His appearance changed from the inside out, right before their eyes, and His garments became radiant laser-white, and Elijah and Moses showed up to talk with Jesus.  Right before their eyes, Jesus was glowing and was transfigured beyond anything humanly possible.  Beyond that, He was suddenly in the company of two prophets from Old Testament history, so the disciples definitely got an impression, realization and a foretaste of POWER! 


My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me

MARTY GABLER — As the people of God assemble today may they each realize that they are a child of our Heavenly Father’s big family and that we, together, have a great big wonderful Father. These are lyrics to a song I sang as a solo in church many times when I was young. It has always been one of my favorites.
“My Heavenly Father Watches Over me”
1. I trust in God wherever I may be,
upon the land or on the stormy sea;
for come what may, from day to day,
my heav’nly Father watches over me.

Refrain:
I trust in God, I know He cares for me,
on mountain bleak or on the stormy sea.
Though billows roll, He keeps my soul,
my heav’nly Father watches over me.


May Father’s Hope Abound Above all Else

MARTY GABLER–Prayer & Declare #14—Today I am asking, Father, for your hope to abound beyond all that comes to my ears and all that I see with my eyes. May your hope and peace enable me to align my thoughts with your unfailing Word so I might rise above all those things.
I declare that as hopelessness and despair attempt to take a high place in my thoughts that your blessed assurance will outpace those distracting considerations.  I will believe the report of the Lord.  Phil.4:8, Amp “For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].”


Season of Fear Dumping

MELISSA GABLER—The Holy Spirit prompted me to ask for a season of “Fear Dumping”. Then I saw a picture of a chronic cycle just about at its start over place, but this time there was a button readily available to be pushed called “Fear Dump”. When we make the choice to push that button, all of the fear driving that cycle will be dumped causing that cycle to end! A season of fear dumping is upon us, PUSH THAT BUTTON! “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2Tim.1:7, NKJV)


Focus on “God Said”

MARTY GABLER–Nothing is birthed and the flames of gifting fade away when we take our focus off “God said” and place it on our inner doubts and struggles. Those doubts are fed by the detractor and those he enlists. What God promises, He also performs. The “how” of it is not our concern. It is God’s and it is no problem (cf.Heb.11:3). Cf.”Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart (Ps.37:3-4).”


Step Into Simple Trust

Kathy Gabler—Exasperation is only on our side of any situation. Exasperation always boils down to our focus.   Our focus is the desperate need, the unanswered prayers, and the injustice that we feel.  And the tormenting factor that is at the root of all of that, is fear.  And fear is complex. It is a fear of loss and a fear of unbearable consequences and at the same time a fear of personal failure. The only antidote is to move our focus to God who does not fear.  He sees much more than the details that torment us. And His nature and character do not change or bend under the weight of threats.  The only way to step out of exasperation is to step into simple trust. God knows the details. God cares. And God will do what ever is possible to be done concerning our concerns.


The Earth is the Lord’s

MELISSA GABLER—We are being awakened to the fact that the earth is the Lord’s and everything and everyone in it (Ps. 24). It’s not something God is just going to hand over, destroy and start over again. Resurrection, which is power over death, was demonstrated on this earth, there’s no giving up or turning back. The end is settled and we have the most phenomenal opportunity to participate in it.


Time for the Wound to be Healed

KATHY GABLER—A lady told me about a dream.  In the dream her son who is thirty was ten years old.  A snake was wrapped around his leg and it had bitten him.  The wound was below his knee and was bleeding and swollen.  She was afraid the dream was a warning of something bad about to happen to him.  However, the key to understanding the dream was her son’s age.  The issue was a historical wound because her son was a child again.  The wound he had obviously received at the age of ten was still not healed and had undoubtedly affected his walk in life or crippled part of his soul since that age.  I explained to her that God was calling her to intercession and agreement with His desire to address and heal this old issue of the heart. Tears came to her eyes suddenly as the significance was clear.  Her son’s father had left the family when the boy was ten years old.  God was saying its time for that wound to be healed so it will stop affecting his walk and destiny.

No Time to Stop Preparations

MARTY GABLER—There is no time or place for the present generation to stop preparations for the future—not even under duress. Simon Purvis tells of the ancient Romans who planted trees for structures and projects that future generations would build. They would plant a certain tree knowing that it would require many years before it could be harvested. They planted a variety of trees that would mature at various times and have various wood-densities to meet the needs of the future. The general mindset of the present generation appears to be to use up whatever we can (money, resources, people) to get through our lifetime. Watching an ad on TV recently, a picture of an infant came across the screen. The message read, “The best time to prepare for his future is 100 years before he is born.” In late winter, people begin preparing for a spring garden but they cease that preparation when the shoots begin to come up. They prepare a house for painting by scraping and priming but they stop the preparation when they begin to put on the paint. There is, however, never a point at which we cease preparing for future generations no matter what philosophical or eschatological paradigm is favored at this point of history. David prepared for Solomon and it is recorded that Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established. (1Ki 2:12) In comparison, Saul just used the present generation (1Sam.8:11-17). In those seven verses, the phrase “he will take” is used six times. (Also Prov.6:6-8; 13:22) It was David’s throne that was promised to last for generations. Is it any wonder that Saul’s did not?


Shaken Out of Slumber

Melissa Gabler—Many times I have heard that awakening is coming. Let me add that, more recently, I have been hearing words about not only awakening coming to the nations but to the church.  Well, that also sounded really good and I have been all for that too! Still, being transparent, I wasn’t quite getting it yet.  Sometimes it’s easy to point the finger at a church I think isn’t awake.  I just know the Holy Spirit is like, “Aww, bless her heart. She thinks she’s awake!” Then He graciously begins to shake me out of my slumber and I can only fall silent in amazement.  For this reason He says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.” (Ephesians 5:14 AMP)


The Unforced Rhythms of Grace

Kathy Gabler–More and more of the Ekklesia are literally getting positioned and taking ground on the Mountains [spheres of cultural influence] of Science/Technology and Family and Finance and Arts/Media.  This Awakening is exposing the undermining Goliaths, those demonic, giant systems in these mountains that are attempting to redefine every absolute and every boundary God gave man concerning health, laws, relationships and even in gender! (Take heart, Awakening will shatter the stupor and spirit of absurdity!)  I pray the Lord anoint us like David to behead the subterranean Goliaths as they fall, so that they never rise again!  This Awakening is no small thing because “The whole earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, and the world and all who dwell in it.”—Psa 24:1.  We are His Church, His Called out ones, alive for such a time as this.  We have keys to take part in this historical, ever-increasing display of His Kingdom.  And there is no need to be thinking this is all too big and too complicated for “little ol’ me”.  On the contrary, the truth is that it is beautifully simple.  Jesus put it this way in Matt 11:29, (MSG),  “Walk with me and work with me and watch how I do it.   Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.”  It’s time to trust Him and walk into a Chapter of Awesome.    


Be Filled and Overflowing

MARTY GABLER — As the people of God assemble today, may they be filled and overflowing with His grace and His empowering Holy Spirit and hope like they were at Pentecost and may His Spirit overflow into every area of their lives and into the areas of responsibility they have and the relationships they have. “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:4, KJV) “May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!” (Rom.15:13, Msg)


Speaking HIS Language

MARTY GABLER — Speaking HIS Language — Jesus commissioned us to go and to do with His “power of rule” (Mt 28:18) what He had done with it. The factor of multiplication was ever present throughout the record of His representing the Kingdom of God on earth (Mt.14:17-21). Jesus spoke the language of wholeness and multiplication. When we speak the language of subtraction and diminishing, we cannot get the results Jesus got. When He saw disease, He spoke the opposite to what it was doing to the person. He never got into agreement with the spirit or the infirmity. (Mt.9:6;14:27;17;7; Mk.5:39-42;7:34;Jn.5:8) When everyone at a wedding was speaking the language of lack, Jesus spoke the language of plenty and the result was better wine than the previous that was served. (Jn 2:10;10:10) In that instance, Jesus didn’t even have a small amount of wine to multiply; He took empty vessels and filled them. (martygabler.com)


Things I Cannot See

MELISSA GABLER—I will choose to believe God is working in things I cannot see.


Cowering Chunk Of Crispy Fried Chicken?

KATHY GABLER—Cowering Chunk Of Crispy Fried Chicken?
Actually, persecution for righteousness sake is evidence that you are a Kingdom agent caught in the crossfire. The real target is a righteous deposit of God’s purpose in history.  Now that’s not to minimize persecution or say that being in the crossfire is fun or easy.  It wasn’t easy for Esther when she was caught in such crossfire, but she did not throw up her hands and take on a victim-attitude.  Persecution does not equal “victim” or “martyr.” We should not automatically just cower.  Esther didn’t, and we can learn from her.  The opposite of being a victim is to fight wisely, activate God’s countermeasures and get a God-strategy. Daniel and the three Hebrews were persecuted in the crossfire of King Darius’ corrupt court, but a victim would have been a lion’s lunch or crispy fried chicken in the fiery furnace.


Enabled With Wisdom

MARTY GABLER—Enable me with wisdom so I might speak in agreement with what you are speaking about me and my circumstances, Father, so that I may be manifested as a son of God to creation. I declare that I will speak life and not death. I proclaim that I was born to walk out every aspect of the purpose of God for my life. I bless my body to align with that purpose.  “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the works of Your own hands.” (Ps.138:8)


Ask the Right Questions

MELISSA GABLER— We can ask the right kind of questions that lead down a path of deliverance, healing, and action.  When we ask the right questions we are able to hear the answers we need.  When we ask fear-based questions we have already come to the wrong, statistic-based, society-experienced conclusions.  These soulish conclusions make it really hard to hear a Spirit answer.  So, a good place to start asking the right question is to ask the Holy Spirit, “What questions should I be asking about this situation?” He will tell you, and most of the time these questions carry the answer in them.  The right questions are a key to unlock doors and chains.  The right questions give you the right perspective.


The First “Adam Bomb”

KATHY GABLER—If you think about it even now, this long after Calvary, over 2000 years after Jesus, the Last Adam restored the breach caused by the “1st  Adam-bomb,” we are still more conditioned to explain our limitations than to exceed them.  I grew up in church, but I never heard anyone preach that I could reach into God’s governmental order and change things in earth.  I’ve known more Fig-Leaf-Fugitives than Supermen in the church.   It’s sad, but church people usually know more about condemnation than they do dominion.  Maybe we haven’t been reaching into the governmental order of heaven to bring it to earth because churchianity has made us more pious than powerful.  It certainly shouldn’t be an either/or, but many Christians are better church-goers than they are sons.  Our first priority should be to focus on being a son who knows his Father and knows Him well enough to know what Father has already done, as well as what Father is presently doing, so we can be sons who take dominion and cause things on earth to line up with that. 


Hit the Mark Continually

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they take encouragement and instruction from the Word of God, and may they take strength from the words and encouragement of the saints so that they might hit the mark continually, not coming short of the glory of God but walking in newness of life.  “Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Rom.6:4, NKJV)
