The Heat of Battle

KATHY GABLER— Battle heats up by reason of the needed outcome. Heat determines the strength of a weld, so does the intensity of battle establish the strength and longevity of the victory. The vehemence of battle welds the outcome in undeniable purpose rather than just leaving us with fragmented memories of war. Heat is one of the components of long-term victory and intense battle yields intensely awesome results! Ps.18:39, Amplified Version — “For You have encircled me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.”

Our Trust in God

Kathy — Why is our trust in God sometimes in pieces? I think it is because of all the times it’s been shaken. I’m talking about every time that we followed our emotions through a trial and we “trusted” God to come through like we felt He should…. but He didn’t. Our trust was shaken if not shattered, not because He’s not trustworthy, but because He did not allow us to manipulate the situation or Him. Ps.18:2, TPT — “You’re as real to me as bedrock beneath my feet, like a castle on a cliff, my forever firm fortress, my mountain of hiding, my pathway of escape, my tower of rescue where none can reach me. My secret strength and shield around me, you are salvation’s ray of brightness shining on the hillside, always the champion of my cause.”


Help to Overcome

Helping up(Kathy) — Your salvation means you have the covenant-backing of Almighty God to help you overcome anything that opposes what you’re born to do, whether that opposition be in your health, relationships, finance, timing or circumstances.  Your salvation assures you of overcoming power. This awesome salvation will even save you from yourself. Ps.18:35; Ps.51:12


The Revelation-Light in my Darkness

As the people of God assemble today may they hear the Word of God that is a lamp to their feet and see the light of the Lord God that illumines their path and receive prosperity, safety, comfort and life itself. May their sorrowful spirit be revived and comforted and may God guide their way so that they avoid snares that have been set for them.  ”God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me! You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness I can see the path ahead.” (Ps.18:28, TPT)

What we See the Father Doing

Fresh obedience is doing what we see the Father doing today (Jn.5:19).  That could be as radical as healing a woman in the synagogue on the sabbath, in the presence of those who think the time and place are totally inappropriate.  That could be as revolutionary as taking over the weather and stopping a storm in order to complete a specific mandate on the other side of the lake.  (Fourth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)
