We Were Made to Advance

MELISSA GABLER—We were made to advance the Kingdom in this moment.  We get to be alive to advance the Kingdom in this moment! God doesn’t do things by chance, He does them with intention.  I say this to say, you have the eternal plan of God inside of you, all you need to do is walk it out.  How do we walk it out? By relationship with our Father which solidifies our identity as a son or daughter made to manifest the dominion mandate.

Developing as Sons

KATHY GABLER — As children, we learn who our parents are through time and relationship. We learn their order, values, beliefs, preferences, priorities, etc.  We identify them and our identity develops from there.  As sons of God, we learn who He is through time and relationship, then our identity as sons develops from there. (Rom.8:14)


The Variables in Life

KATHY GABLER—Thought For Today: We would rather have a list of absolutes about everything, but I suspect God leaves the variables in life on purpose because the only way to process them to meaning and worth is through relationship with Him.


Never a Solitary Dot

KATHY—The Truth is that we are never a solitary DOT on a globe.  God is always working through more sons’ awareness than yours alone.  Also, because of relationship with God and one another, we little DOTS can do something corporately.  Then we become one big honkin’ DOT on this earth, a portal, a floodgate for heaven’s incoming changes!  So, let’s not waste time considering our participation with Father might be insignificant or of no consequence.  In Joel 2:25, the Lord said He would restore the years that the locusts have eaten.  One meaning of the root word for locust is “insignificance”.  God can restore the times that a sense of insignificance stole your thunder, stole your success, stole your opportunities or stole your fulfillment because you didn’t know how much your obedience mattered or did not realize you were God’s Access Point to family or the workplace or the community or to nations.
