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 
now 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
May 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)

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 Bi-Product
The Bi-Product
It is not bad to have needs. It is not wrong to desire to receive from God. But there should come a point of development in relationship with God that focus on needs and receiving is not the basis for the relationship. Need is how and why we come to Jesus but there should be growth and development from that point. There should be a point at which seeking to be part of the expression of Father’s Kingdom and pleasing Father and being productive for Father is the main thrust of the relationship and His meeting our needs is just a bi-product of facilitation.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matt.6:33)

Supply For Servants
Supply For Servants
By the time the prodigal gets to the pig pen, this guy is having to eat that which is nothing more than left-over and waste. He is suffering at this level because he has stepped out of his metron 
(sphere of influence) not satisfied to yield to his father’s wise timing. Thankfully, he came to himself in that situation and realized that his father’s servants, in their metron, fared better than he did. Although he was a son, the servants were better off than him at this point and their position and circumstance was far more desirable than what he had being out of position as a son born to privilege and inheritance. After wasting the measure of rule he had carved out for himself, he realized that he had presumptuously grasped a measure of rule he was not ready for. If a private in the army can stay within his measure of rule, he will have all the food he needs, all the gasoline for his jeep, all the bullets for his rifle and all the medical care he will need; and he will never pay rent or electric bills (Mt 6:33-and all these things will be added unto you). His peers will never be allowed to promote him or talk him into taking the position of a captain. As his superior officers observe him, they will measure his abilities and promote him accordingly (Ps 75:6-7). The prodigal concluded, “My father’s servants have stayed within their measure of rule and look how well supplied they are.”
For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up.
7 But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another. (Ps.75:6-7, Amp)
We Live In This Time In History Because
We Live In This Time In History Because
We live in this time in history because God ordained it so and He also ordained the days to come for His Name’s sake (Ps23:3;106:8;1Jn2:12;3Jn:1:7)
It is not our purpose in living to simply observe “the tide” of circumstances but to turn the tide. We do not live so we might observe history taking place but so we might make history.
Typically after someone shares about how they were powerfully used of God, someone will walk up afterwards and say something like, “Yes, but you are a full-time minister, pastor, evangelist, prophet etc., etc.” Title, T-shirt or cap doesn’t matter. The anointing and empowering One, the Holy Spirit is the same in every believer at any time in history.
The reason we do not speak with a British accent and send our taxes to London each April is because 1000’s of nameless people participated in the American Revolution and turned the tide for the nation. It could not have been done by the dozen or so people whose names made it into the history books.
Jahweh is no less faithful in this moment of history than He was in 2Co 4:9: “we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side.”
“So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.” (Ps.90:12)
DECLARE: “I do not live so I might observe history taking place but so I might make history. I was born at the right time and will effectively impact the sphere of influence God has given me in my generation.”
