Word of Knowledge in a Dream

KATHY GABLER—A twelve-year-old boy I spoke with received a word of knowledge in a dream about what was troubling his friend as well as a word of wisdom that gave strategy to address it.  Those gifts of the Spirit activated in his dream are marks of a new norm for him.  Rather than a random one-time experience, those gifts are already active in him for his lifetime purpose.  His dream started with a black dog and a white dog.  That setting indicates a conflict in the soul, the black dog (which represents negative or wrong thoughts and feelings) was bigger than the white dog (which symbolizes right thinking and feelings and behavior.)   In the dream he heard someone say that his friend was crying and upset because someone had brought a Buddha into her life. This twelve-year-old did not know dogs can refer to the soul in symbolism.  I doubt he even had a working definition for the word “soul.” It is also highly likely he had no knowledge of the culture and beliefs of Buddhism.  Yet these symbolic elements were in his dream, so that reveals the need for training and equipping him for new norms in dreaming in the future.    KATHY will be speaking at the DREAMS, VISIONS AND PROPHECY CONFERENCE 2024 on Sept.14 — Schedule and Hotel Info: martygabler.com/dvp2024/  —  Grace Church Willis 936-856-2455  gracewillis.org


Preparation for the Future

Marty Gabler—The future doesn’t simply happen, it is built by preparation in the now (and manipulating powers of darkness realize that just as well as the people of God—ready-or-not, awake or sleeping, eyes wide open or eyes closed). The predominant ideal of any time period in history has impact that reaches into the future affecting who and what future generations act out. In our time there is a desperate struggle for security and domination of the future. Some are trying to secure economics, secure political policies, secure real estate and secure borders for the future but we must secure a generation. Our children are a message that we send into the future. The future will not be secured by videos and pizzas. While many are crying out that the church is only one generation away from extinction, I would cry out that the church is only one generation away from dominion over the powers of darkness in the earth. (Jesus said that He would build the Church and that what He built would not see the gates or authorities of hell prevail against it – Matt.16:18. The Church is not at the point of extinction if Jesus spoke truth.) If we have no faith that we are going to be able to draw out anything from our bank account, it is because we know that we have not put anything into it. If we have no faith in the coming generation it is because we have either neglected to impart to them or we have not had anything to impart to them. We’d best get ahold of Something/Someone worth imparting. (Ps.71:18;Ps.78:1-4;Ps.112:1-3) Failure to impart to a generation results in loss that can only be calculated on an incalculable, exponential scale. We don’t want them to have to dig themselves out of a hole before they can go forward, especially when they should be starting out on the shoulders of the generation that is going before them.

The Lord Made the Hearing Ear

Melissa — “The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made both of them.” (Prov.20:12)  We are all capable of living a prophetic lifestyle without being a Prophet.  Sometimes we train ourselves to ignore the Prophetic Lifestyle because we don’t want to be weird. This really is an epic life we are meant to live. Don’t ignore it. This life is meant to be epic! — (Melissa Gabler is leading us in a Worship Encounter Friday night and speaking on “The Prophetic Lifestyle” (No Fee) at the DREAMS VISIONS PROPHECY CONFERENCE 2024 at Grace Church Willis.

Grandparents – a Rich Heritage

SEPTEMBER 8 IS GRANDPARENTS DAY
       With a strong German accent my Grandfather would quote Psalm 150:6, “Let everyting dat hat bret praise da Lordt.  Praise ye da Lordt.”  From the time that I was a small child until I was fourteen he would begin a testimony (every Sunday night) with that verse and always, as he wept, end with “Godt is love.”
       Exuberance and love for the Lord didn’t just have its place in religious services.  Though his praises may have been more readily noticeable during song service, my Grandfather’s worship was a lifestyle lived out before the world.  When I was fourteen he passed this life to join the worshipers about the throne of God.  I recall being amazed at the number of neighbors and business people from the community who were present at the funeral.  Here was a man whose light shined, not just for church people to see, but genuinely for all to see, whether at worship, work, or just visiting throughout the community.
Pop Gabler was a praiser and worshiper of the first order. He actually believed and practiced the verses he so enthusiastically voiced. He actually believed that “EVERYTHING that hath breath” was to praise the Lord.  There was always room in the Lord’s house, around the Lord’s table, in Pop Gabler’s home for anyone no matter what their background, their theology or their sin.
       Love of God was readily expressed in the form of hospitality, patience, acceptance for “everything that hath breath”.  If an alcoholic or prostitute wanted to come into our church, sit next to him and sing the songs of the faith and worship with us according to our form of worship, he welcomed them in the name of the Lord and invited them to sit with him.
At the time of his passing, many from varied walks of life, destitute to wealthy, sinner to saint voiced testimony that their lives had been touched by God through his acceptance of them.  For the first time in my life I realized that it was possible for EVERYTHING THAT HATH BREATH to praise the Lord and I determined in my heart to be careful not to discourage “everything that hath breath” from praising the Lord.
The emphasis is not, “Am I worthy of God?”  Rather, the emphasis is: God is worthy of ALL PRAISE.  “All you have made will praise you, O Lord” (Ps. 145:10). I continue to praise the Lord for the rich spiritual heritage He has given me.

Process and Authority

Marty Gabler—Disparity, fragmentation and individuality are concepts we have become so familiar with in our culture. In the world about us they are lauded and applauded. Large conglomerates are buying up companies, dividing them, and selling them off piecemeal, laying off people who have given themselves to the company for most of their lives, and after all… It seems that “the bottom line is the only thing that truly matters”. Only 48% of marriages are still, at least, somewhat intact. Everyone has their own idea of how churches, government and various agencies of authority should be set up and operated and, as a result, many exert as much dishonor and disobedience as they can muster to define what they are not in agreement with. As individuals, special interest groups, and people-groupings fight for and get more and more rights, our nation is becoming more and more fragmented and polarized on opposites. One of the most popular TV shows in the history of the industry put a group of people on an island just to see how fragmented and adversarial they could become while rewarding the individual who was for himself at all costs.

       The way father God‘s plan started out, was for tribes, household and patriarchs to move forward in unity on one track so that all things might be brought under the headship of his son, Jesus. We will not glorify the name of Jesus and see him glorified among the nations, or among our communities, until we search out and understand the heart of the father. Having discovered the heart of the father on a matter is not enough. We must cling tenaciously to his ways and means, and give ourselves wholly to his present pattern if we would “plunder hell and populate heaven“. The authority that the apostles turned their world upside down with, was not passed out like samples at the market. They came through order, and that order processed and appropriately positioned all who would bear it.

An Angelic Company

Melissa Gabler—In days to come we will realize we have massive amounts of help from a God-created angelic company.  It’s time to be aware that God has created an angelic army doing His will on this earth right now.  It’s time we realized we are intended to network with them because they know our destiny and it is their job to help us get there.  Just like Elisha’s servant in 2 Kings 6, it is time for our eyes to be opened to this partnership God intended.  By the end of 2024 we will look back in amazement at what He has done and where we are. So, go ahead and ANTICIPATE the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God!

Whatever you see the Father Doing

KATHY—Whether your part is praying, giving, teaching, rescuing, speaking out, building, tearing down, taking on a project, starting a business, infiltrating the government mountain or media mountain . . .  Whatever you see the Father doing . . .  GO for IT. Jn.5:19,AMP—“So Jesus answered them by saying, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way.”


Wide Door for a Great Work

There is a door open before us and we are called to press through. 1Corinthians 16:9-10 “There is a wide-open door for a great work…”There is something worth pressing through to on the other side. It is a day-by-day pressing. The matter of walking with the Lord and trusting the Lord is day in and day out (Deut.5:33). We are pressing and shall press through because the pressing is leading to another level, to things in God and God’s Kingdom agenda that we have never seen or experienced.


Thoughts Abounding from God’s Truth

MELISSA — Truth and relationship with the Lord is about your meditations, thoughts, words, prayers. Are your thoughts and prayers abounding from God’s truth or the latest from Fox, CNN, Facebook, or Twitter? A safe and healthy place from which to operate your day is praying in tongues throughout. It’s the perfect prayer not swayed by national or family events. It’s the perfect prayer not swayed by the soul. In fact, don’t limit it to that. You may think you’re praying about what is concerning at the moment, but the Spirit prays what needs to be prayed at the moment whether it be for that particular situation or something completely different. Thank God that type of prayer cannot be touched by soulish fears and desires. That is exactly why it is perfect! God knew what He was doing when He gave us such a gift. Yes, I’d say it’s for today. My thought, the soul might say otherwise because it can’t control it. Ok, I’ll just leave that right there and wrap this up. It’s time to call on Him. It’s time to see great and mighty things. It’s time to be great and mighty things.


Obligation and Wisdom

KATHY—Obligation is the binding power of a promise, a vow, a contract or a law, but it is also the binding force of civility and kindness.  That makes obligation a strategic weapon against Christians.  I stood on the sidewalk waiting for Marty.  I had leftover donuts in a box under my arm.  A homeless woman was walking toward me.  Kindness immediately bid me to give them to her, yet I felt a check in my spirit.  I learned later that while it would have been a kindness, it would not have been wisdom.  There was a ministry for the homeless in that very block that met their needs on a daily basis. There were signs setting the order of how and when such ministry was appropriate.  The order was for protection of the homeless so they would not break city rules.  I would have been encouraging that woman to get out of the set order, which would eventually disqualify her for the ministry that sustained her there. We must be wise the remainder of this year and budget our efforts as diligently as our pocket books.


On the Basis of Faith in the Name of JESUS

As the people of God assemble today may they, in unified chorus, lift up their voices and praise and proclaim the name of JESUS. May they see the manifested Christ in salvations, healings and deliverances. May they be raised up in faith and hope to declare that Name for many, inside the building and outside the building, to be strengthened and restored spirit, soul and body. In Acts 3:16 Peter declared: ”And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of JESUS which has strengthened this man…”


Power of the Name of Jesus

In the next few days and weeks I believe you will find the name of Jesus to be very powerful in your life and your environment — if you will call upon His name, “Jesus”, see Him heal, watch as He delivers others out of impossible strongholds of bondage and fear. Say His name and see how marvelously He delivers you from the threat of harm, even from bullies. The children’s ministers at our church have taught them to say, “The name of Jesus is my super power”. In Acts 3:16 Peter declared: ”And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man…” (Acts 3:16, Amp) We are praying you discover daily more of the power of the name of Jesus in your life.


Soul-Perspective

MELISSA—Simply put, we don’t get to determine what the answer must be when we call on Jehovah. That kind of determination is a prescription for indigestion. Why? Because we are working from a very limited soul-perspective of the situation with even more limited soul-solutions. This kind of limitation focuses on the impossible rather than the God of the impossible. He not only sees the problem, but where it came from and He sees the best solution for the complete fix. That right there is the kind of “great and mighty” answer we are truly looking for.


A Person Who Prays

KATHY—I knew an older gentleman who was called to be an intercessor and that calling was confirmed through a prophetic word.  He had not recognized the calling, nor could he receive the word, because of his definition of an intercessor.  His belief was that an intercessor was a person who prayed for many hours every day.  His experience indicated that was neither his lifestyle nor his desire; so, he could not believe he could ever be an intercessor.   After a conversation with a discerning friend, he discovered intercession is not bound to one particular lifestyle and he opened his heart to the call of God.  His misunderstanding had been keeping him from fulfillment and effectual purpose for years.  Discernment is about seeing a difference that will make a difference.  Discernment turns the light on so we can take action and make adjustments.  


Turned From Reviling Faith

May the people of God pray and may God Almighty redeem people who are working hard against the cause of Christ and turn them so that they preach Christ, and then promote and facilitate that which they once tried to  destroy.  ”…He who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the very faith he once reviled and which he set out to ruin and tried with all his might to destroy.” (Gal.1:23, Amp)


I Will 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.

A Word That Conflicts?

KATHY—Does God ever send us a word that conflicts with our personal beliefs?  Yes.  It’s not that God is out to upset our apple cart.  It is that He loves us too much to let us continue finding security in our beliefs that are tainted by error, warped by experience or hindered by misunderstanding.  These things will leave us at dead ends, frustrated and unfulfilled at some point in our destiny, and He loves us too much to simply allow that. But when our compassionate Father confrontations those carefully guarded systems, we have three major resources to set and confirm our course: the Word, godly counsel and discernment.


Absent From Local Fellowship

As the people of God assemble today, may there be faith stirred in hearts concerning those who have been absented from the local fellowship. May there be expectancy that they be returned to the fellowship to edify and, once again, take their place on the wall.  “May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent and hidden one from another.” (Gen. 31:49, Amp)


That Does Not Consider Odds

Marty when speaking at Hope For America in D.C.: “You and I may not be Gideon but we are part of the Gideon company that does not consider odds. We consider Him who has called us. We consider His Word and the dreams He has put in us.”


Substandard or Premium

MELISSA — 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.  (MELISSA will be leading us in a Worship Encounter and speaking at DREAMS VISIONS PROPHECY September 8, 2023.

Transition Into New Norms

KATHY—I have sensed for several months that the Body of Christ is in an important time of transition into new norms.  One of the new norms I believe we can expect is strategic dreams that equip us for the purposes of God.  I consider strategic dreams to be those timely telegrams that confirm direction or give instruction or release insight and understanding for a mandate and call to action. Our Father is an equipping God.     KATHY will be speaking at the DREAMS, VISIONS AND PROPHECY CONFERENCE  Sept.8-10 — Schedule and details:  martygabler.com/dvp2023/     gracewillis.org
