The Call and the Answer

MELISSA — Let’s look at “Call to me and I will answer you” through a modern American paradigm: I call on the Lord and He will answer – I will tell Him what I need and He will give it to me because He is a loving God. You know, kind of like curbside grocery delivery. I took the time to get my list together and I took the time to call about this list. Now, it’s on Him to deliver!  I’m afraid we North Americans operate out of an entitled mindset not only in our relationship with earthlings, but also in our relationship with God. If I call on Him then ________ (insert pre-determined answer here). The problem with an entitled relationship with God is where the entitlement is rooted. If it is rooted in the Spirit, according to the covenant, then it will put you in a posture of dominion. If, however, it is rooted in the soul then it will hold you in a victimized defensive posture. The soul will keep you chained out of reach of God’s original intent which is indeed dominion. Or said another way, the soul will keep you from being heaven on earth.  (MELISSA is leading worship and speaking at KC2024. Go to martygabler com/kc2024/ to see the schedule and all info.)


Toss Thought-Clutter

KATHY—Self-to-Self dreams can clean house by flashing scenes from our life into dreams so we can gather and toss “thought-clutter” and have a clean start the next day.  Scientists and doctors have proven these kind of dreams are a nightly reset that de-clutters the mind and de-stresses the mind.  Since stress is the starting point for many, if not most health issues, the ability to dream self-to-self is healthy. The Hebrew word for dream is chalam (khay lem), which means to strengthen or restore to health or facilitate recovery.  Any way you look at it, dreaming is a blessing from the Lord.  Even nightmares or upsetting dreams or bizarro dreams can be a positive because they bring things stored in our core closet out to the living room where we can be aware of them and we can confront them for relief or resolve.

Hope of the More That is to Come

As the people of God assemble today may His people have a sense of the more that is to come of His purposes and His outpourings. May the hope of receiving and participating fill their hearts with expectancy.   “In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary–we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!” (Rom.5:5, Msg)

An Order Coming

DR. GREG CRAWFORD—[Awhile back, Dr. Crawford had a prophetic vision while he was meditating on many things concerning the life of the Body of Christ, the disconnected ones, the order needed, the power required, and he was seeking asking God what will it take to align and re-order all of this to your intention. Along with several other things, this is what was conveyed.] (You can read the whole vision in SEEC Magazine Volume 26 Issue 1)
This item was called “The Order”.  “I saw an order coming into the earth again. This order was the ways of God. The order was defining the realignment of past structures. A structuring of governmental legislating. A way that would produce a path. The Path was part of the order. It was the outcome of the ways. The sound of the Ecclesia was the order. The order was coming to release authority. I saw wave upon wave of authority being released upon the earth, as another part of the order and path of God was being found and walked. The more this repeated the stronger the sound and the order became. Men’s hearts were giving way to the order as a more excellent way.”

A Seriously Sobering Season

Melissa — We are in the midst of a seriously sobering season. We are in the thick of the increase of His perpetually increasing government (Isaiah 9:7). Awakening won’t be limited to the American church’s view of what it should look like to be most effective. Awakening is going to seep through the cracks in the foundation of the American church and reform it. Awakening brings reformation. We better be ready for awakening to bring some shock and awe too! It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, (Eph. 5:12-13 NLT) This awakening is going deep. It’s going to shed light on things that have been going on under our noses but we haven’t seen it because we have been asleep. It will be shocking, but that is why reformation comes with it. Reform will deal with evil.

Power of the Air

KATHY—The scripture, Eph 2:2 came to mind as I realized some friends were  battling the  “prince of the power of the air.”  I went to search out that scripture wanting to get a working definition and understand “the power of the air.”   That verse in Ephesians indicates the power of the air to be enemy occupation in an atmosphere.  When the power of the air is infested like that, it can cause the culture to fester and draw flies like the imaginings and thoughts and opinions of men and their unbelief, rebellion, arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.   The power of the air is atmospheric conditions that affect people daily either positively because it is receptive to God or negatively because the power of the air has successfully been contaminated and made toxic.  


There is a Mystery

“There is a mystery… The Kingdom of God is here; but instead of destroying human sovereignty, it has attacked the sovereignty of Satan. The Kingdom of God is here but instead of making changes in the external, political order of things, it is making changes in the spiritual order and in the lives of men and women… “The Kingdom of God which is yet to come in power and great glory is actually present among men in advance in an unexpected form to bring to men in the present evil Age the blessings of the Age to Come… Matt.12:28 clearly says that the Kingdom of God has entered into the present evil age. “The mystery of the Kingdom is this: The Kingdom of God is here but not with irresistible power. The Kingdom of God has come, but it is not like a stone grinding an image to powder… it is like a man sowing seed. It does not force itself upon men… They must receive it; the response must come from a willing heart and a submissive will.” (George Eldon Ladd)

Promises Available for Application

MELISSA—How do we prepare for what’s ahead? You’ve been made ready in ways you haven’t put together yet, but it will come together as we head into the year. Also, we need to realize it’s just time to BE the new creation Jesus exemplified. We need to pick up the Bible and rehearse the things Jesus set in motion. We typically call those “promises,” but in our modern culture that word tends to have only a future connotation. His promises are fully alive and available for application now and where we are headed. For instance, we read in the gospels about fish and bread being multiplied to feed thousands. We need to be ready to facilitate that new creation norm. Finally, remember this isn’t all about evil being exposed. Our focus needs to be on the increasing Kingdom that is going to be revealed in the midst of the mess. “I have told you these things in parables (veiled language, allegories, dark sayings); the hour is now coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I shall tell you about the Father in plain words and openly (without reserve).” (John 16:25 Amplified) The reality and mysteries of God being uncovered will be the biggest mind-blower of all! The “brainwashed zombie” in each of us will try and hold on to old logic through the upheaval ahead, but the new creation we already are will bring us through to a victory that words can’t relay right now.

Corporate Agreement

KATHY — How do we fight for a corporate cause when we are fighting to survive individually?  First, we must take hope that God has positioned gifts and strengths geographically and relationally for corporate wars ahead of time, and we must believe corporate agreement will defeat customized weapons as well as enemies with tenure that are attempting to protect ungodly strongholds.  Secondly, we have to be confident that being the target does not mean we have to just take a right hook and then wait helplessly for a left jab every time the enemy gets upset.  We are not a victim nor a God-authorized target.  Once that is settled in us we can fight with confidence and win through time and perseverance.  Heb.3:14, Msg — “If we can only keep our grip on the sure thing we started out with, we’re in this with Christ for the long haul.”


Desire the Unction

As the people of God assemble today may they deeply desire the unction that they have from the Lord. May their hearts and minds be enlightened and be endued with power to have the same light Jesus had and to do what Jesus did with that same unction when He was on earth. Acts 10:38, ESV—“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”


The Government of the Kingdom of God

DR. DON CRUM — The government of the Kingdom of God increases as God’s sons and daughters who are His ambassadors in the earthly realm, understand and operate more in the implementation of God’s “Foreign Policies” in the earth. Therefore, His rule and reign extend and expand throughout the nations, pulling them into alignment. Matt 13:33 Jesus also used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” God’s Kingdom Government is permeating throughout the nations through you and me as His Kingdom Ambassadors. As God’s sons and daughters in the earth, we are entrusted with an amazing inheritance of kingly authority to legislate the affairs of nations by invoking God’s plans and policies on a massive global scale. We are rapidly moving out of the Congregational and into the Congressional in this hour. Understanding our delegated authority in Christ’s imperative. (DR. CRUM is speaking at Kingdom Congress 2024.

Things That Have Been Hidden

MELISSA—I believe we are about to see some things manifest. I mean literally SEE things that have been hidden. The Spirit of truth is about to unveil things that have been working against us AND for us in other dimensions. Upheaval that many are experiencing is going to be a catalyst in this exposure. I’m telling you, the normal “Leave it to Beaver/Father Knows Best” show life has been a great script in a false reality. True reality consists of every disease being healed, dead being raised, lives being changed and interacting with the supernatural realm, not just living day to day trying to have a good life and be a good person. Getting back to true reality will be shocking and will require us to be aware of and interacting with different dimensions. We are going to see some stuff in the coming years… get ready.


To “Take Hold of” in 2024

LARRY BURDEN—Suddenlies will become more frequent in 2024.  Declarations will become more essential and powerful as we experience greater supernatural breakthroughs.  As faith arises in the body of believers, declarations and decrees will become more powerful with instant manifestations of the Father’s heart and desires. There will also be an increase in prophetic dreams that will release warnings and divine intelligence to assist in navigating the times ahead.  Dreams will become road maps to follow into victories.

In a recent prayer time, while praying in tongues, I kept releasing the word, lambano. I learned that the word is a Greek word translated, “to take hold ofto seize for oneself, to take back what is yours and make it your own.  It means to take possession ofto apprehend, to reach afterto take back.”  I see 2024 as the year to take back what has been stolen through the plots and schemes of the enemy. Lambano speaks of a grace and faith that connects in cooperation with the Father to literally pull down something from the Spirit realm into our earth reality. I see new mantles arising in obscure places, new victories being won by believers who simply trust and obey the voice of the Lord, and the restoration of lost dreams, visions, assignments, and destinies that have been short-circuited through the curses and slander fueled by spirits of pride, jealousy, and envy.  I see a divine reckoning in the coming days and a restoration of stolen promises and dreams through the Father’s heart for his sons and daughters.

Upheaval Ahead

MELISSA—I just heard, “There is upheaval ahead” and what I saw was a paved road being torn up and removed to expose the ground below it. Familiar, man-made resources are being undone and we are returning to the natural, God-made resources underneath. There will be upheaval when the paths we have been used to get destroyed. How will we know which way to go? When the limited, controlling man-made path is gone, our options will grow immensely. Next I heard, “Sensory overhaul.” When everything we’ve known starts shaking, we are going to get a sensory detox and rewire so that we can acclimate to heaven on earth!


Dark Forces and Being the Light

KATHY—If God’s plan seems absolutely impossible and unreachable in the present darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places of our nation and world, then consider that as evidence that we are at the point of an Awakening! When we look at our own nation, the evidence is in plain sight.  Or we could say that the stench is in plain smell. We are at the point of a “must-have” Awakening! Right here in these United States of America, in our “Christian” nation, there is corruption in high places with no shame whatsoever, and the world is watching. Dark forces with lethal agendas are targeting our entire way of life, trying to destroy our economy.  Then there are repulsive, perverted things going on deep within our nation’s darkness, deep as in literally underground atrocities in tunnels. Then, there are the numerous atrocities against children. There are those who spend mind-boggling amounts on drugs and elixirs just so they can live longer and live out their depraved lusts and reprobate imaginings. We must see the light and be the Light of God that pierces this present darkness that’s trying to rule the world. God’s purpose for America is to display His Kingdom, His rule, His power and His will being done, not to self-destruct as a nation and lead the world to hell.


Subtle Things Making Big Statements

Subtle things in the Bible that no one noticed until they were put in place and activated by the timing and purpose of Yahweh: (1) One Hebrew in Pharaoh’s prison (Joseph); (2) 300 men on a hillside outside a Midianite camp (Gideon); (3) 14 yr. old with a slingshot (David); (4) A baby born in an obscure stable (Jesus); (5) 12 nondescript men sitting at the feet of Jesus (ragtag, imperfect group of disciples); (6) A little boy’s lunch (feeding of 5,000); (7) 120 people having a prayer meeting in an upper room (believer-empowering, city-rocking move of Holy Spirit). Result: History Changed! Conclusion: Don’t give up!


Increasing in the Earth

MELISSA—My current life scripture describes the hope I’m feeling, “Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” (Isaiah 9:7) In the midst of utter evil and chaos, the government/Kingdom of God is increasing on this earth. The Kingdom of God is not just some realm above us that we call heaven that we will go to someday. The Kingdom of God IS heaven increasing on this earth NOW. This increase is exposing evil which is causing chaos in our world. Why is it chaotic? Because we have been living a norm that is far from the norm of heaven and it has to be exposed and overturned. So very many have been living like brainwashed puppets being directed by a puppet master whose intent is to rule and enslave through fear unto death. It sounds like a bad movie plot! When our eyes are opened, we see the horribly scripted reality we’ve been living which is far from heaven’s reality. The increase of His government is bringing stunning insight into what God’s original intent really looks like.

Self-Government — Choosing Right

KATHY — Self-government keeps us from agreeing with powers of darkness that use emotions.  Self-government keeps us from spiritual wickedness in high places that influences thoughts. The beginning basics of governing ourselves are (1) we have to know right to recognize wrong and (2) we have to choose right to defeat wrong. Consistently choosing right is the pulse of self-government.


Anticipating the Love of Jesus

As the people of God assemble today, may they anticipate and sense the love of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ today and throughout 2024. May that love lift their heads and hopes above the troubles and worries of the daily grind so that they carry out of that time of worship a new sense of overcoming their concerns.  ”But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.” (Ps.3:3, Amp)
