Reserved For This Time

The hour is coming when the glory and power of God is going to be demonstrated in a company of people. “There will be a trickle, then it will begin to grow and then there will be a tipping point.”(1S.G.) God is a mighty God. “You shall not dread them, for the Lord your God is among you, a mighty and terrible God.” (Deut.7:21, Amp) The word “mighty” is associated with dominion. This new era is about believers reconnecting with the right to rule. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” (Eph.6:10) The spirit of might is going to become part and parcel of our weaponry and tactics. The church will have strength to overcome any enemy. “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Lk.10:19) This power and might and strength have been held by God for the church when there would be a tipping point at which He could release it in great measure. We have only seen a trickling of it to this point. When we realize that we are in an era that the church has never operated in before, we can avail ourselves and position ourselves for the Holy Spirit to come upon us in power that has been reserved for this time in history.


Great Year to be Alive

(Melissa Gabler) — What a great, great year to be alive! We GET to not only see the shift, we get to BE the shift. Yes, the glory of God is going to be not only seen, but known.  And it’s not because things just got that bad, it’s because things and people (this includes you) are now in place for undeniable God elements.  Get ready.


Era of Hope

The era of half-hearted church-maintaining, while sneaking peeks toward the sky hoping for an escape, is dying away. Do not think for one minute that it is not also the heart-felt wish of the powers of hell and the spirit of this age that the church might go someplace else, because the wisdom of God and the redemptive power of His Christ are being manifest through His church and the Kingdom of God is advancing in the earth in spite of the best-effort opposition of the kingdom of darkness. We are in a new era where there is hope for the future and there is determination of sons to be manifest as groan-stoppers (Rom.8:19, 22). In Jn.20:21 Jesus told His disciples that He was sending them even as the Father had sent Him. Then, we have record of the extraordinary results of that authoritative sending throughout the Book of Acts.  (Second excerpt from Marty’s article “The New Era and the Church Trampling”) 


A New Language

May your home be filled with new language this year—filled with the language of finance and prosperity, filled with the language of health and filled with the language of wise counsel given and heeded.
“Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.” (Prov.11:14, Msg)

The New Era and the Church Trampling

Jahweh is raising up His church in this new era. He is raising up His church to transform nations over night. We are getting past religious ineffectiveness and a defeated sense of eschatology and coming to Zion, to the place of the throne of God which is a place of power and dominion. Perhaps we should rehearse John’s exhortation to us that “…as He [JESUS] is, so are we in this world.” (1Jn.4:17) It would then follow that our Lord JESUS IS sitting on the right hand of the throne of Almighty God in the heavenly places (1:20) and that we, like Him, are also sitting with Him [authoritatively positioned] in heavenly places in Christ (2:6). Therefore, there should be authority, power and dominion displayed such as it was when JESUS was on the earth, especially since it is the determined will of God to now show His multi-layered, redemptive wisdom to powers and principalities through the church (Eph.3:10).

Taking Counsel of the Word of God

As the people of God assemble today may they take the counsel of the Word of God they hear today and may they apply it to every aspect of their life and family and keep it foremost throughout the week they as make decisions.  “What delight comes to those who follow God’s ways!  They won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat.  2  Their pleasure and passion is remaining true to the Word of “I Am,” meditating day and night in his true revelation of light. (Psalm 1:1-2, TPT)


Not Get Off Assignment

May we not get off assignment in this coming year.
“I’m telling you this straight. The Son can’t independently do a thing, only what He sees the Father doing. What the Father does, the Son does.” (Jn.5:19b, Msg)

Dynamics of Communication in a Dream

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream or vision, consider the dynamics of  a  communication from God.  1) A God-dream will have a God-agenda that requires a response from the dreamer, like a realization that requires  agreement or an instruction to follow or an insight to act upon or changes or preparation to make.  2) The purpose of a God-dream will never contradict God’s Word. 3) The  purpose of a God-dream  will never  contradict God’s Character, and healthy relationship with Him is how we know what He is like.  4) A God dream or vision can be a Gift of the Spirit, i.e., a word of knowledge, word of wisdom, gift of healing, gift of faith, instruction to work a miracle, a prophetic word, gift of discernment, etc.  A friend dreamed she was in a building and water came flooding in. When it got ankle-deep, she heard a voice say, “Get out!  You could be electrocuted!”  This dream is not obviously symbolic or literal.  If it were symbolic, the flooding water represents increasing, troubling circumstances, and the message of the dream is to take action to get out of them.  However, this dream turned out to be very literal.  The next day the dreamer was in Penny’s at a mall.  Ten minutes in the store, the fire alarm went off and sprinklers rained down.  The first floor started flooding as they locked all exits.  When the water touched the dreamer’s ankle, she suddenly remembered her dream.  She ran to an employee to tell her they must open the doors and get the people out because there was a risk of electrocution.  As people poured out the doors with the water, firemen were coming in and she heard them saying, “Good thing people got out because there is a danger of electrocution!”  Her dream was a gift of the Spirit, a prophetic warning from God and a word of wisdom that gave strategic instruction.  Should she expect spiritual gifts to be part of the language of her dreams?  Yes.  


Reflecting God’s Glory

“Glory” can be translated “excellence”. If we stop short of the excellent purpose and use of God’s power in our life, we have stopped short of His glory. The glory of God through us is purpose revealed and realized. Thayer says that “glory” means “splendor, brightness of the moon”. We only speak of the beauty of the moon because it is reflecting the sun, and the only reason there is reflection is because of the power of the sun. We can only show forth the glory of Him who sits on the throne in heaven. Let us ask, “What of my life points back to heaven?” We are not come-shorters; we are go-forthers whose lives bring attention and recognition to the redemptive God of the ages.

A Call to Action for Someone Else

(Kathy Gabler)—It is possible to receive a God-warning in a dream for someone else, but it will still be a call to positive action such as prayer or instruction to intervene. Hopefully, God can trust us with the warning and we won’t even tell the someone else unless or until the Holy Spirit instructs us to do so.  Otherwise, we might paint a target on their chest that draws fire, and that would be missing the point of a warning entirely. Regarding warnings, consider God’s nature and don’t accept dread or threat.  Consider a warning from God to be notification that it is time to move out in effectual action and obedient follow-through.

Representing the Father

The glory of God through us, His creation, is not our putting forth effort to hit an ideal or to align with a creed or even getting to heaven. It’s accomplishing things that show His character, His Name in this earth in spite of the influence of culture. That which is in heaven comes to earth through an earthen vessel (Jer.18:4-6; Matt.6:10) and continually points back to its Source in heaven (Matt.5:16). That is why Jesus could say, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father” because He never misrepresented the Father, no matter how hard people (and the devil) tried to get Him to adjust to their expectations. 


Warning in a Dream

(Kathy Gabler)—A warning from God in a dream may sober you, but it will not threaten or condemn you.  The point of a God-warning is to be wise and take action.  Dreams that come as a threat are not His nature.  Threats come from fear, our own or someone else’s. Since God is never afraid, He won’t cause you to panic. He won’t send dreams or visions to intimidate because He can’t be threatened.  He won’t send them to shame or condemn because He can’t be manipulated or moved to action with guilt.  His dreams and visions will reflect His nature.

He Restores my Soul

As the people of God assemble today may they worship the One Who is restoring their soul and giving them the rest of relationship and identity in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Ps.23:2 ”He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.   3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.”


Your Home Fuller This Year

May your home be fuller this year—full of the things you have needed, full of the evidences of victories and full of love and good, productive fellowship.  “The curse of the Lord is in and on the house of the wicked, but He declares blessed (joyful and favored with blessings) the home of the just and consistently righteous.” (Prov.3:33, Amp)

Don’t Beat Yourself Up

(Kathy Gabler)— If you have had strategic God-to-Man, prophetic communications that you found out later were insights that you hadn’t understood up front, don’t grieve and beat yourself up over that.  Again, factor in God’s nature.  Does He intend us to live in regret?  No, He is our Redeemer who buys back lost opportunities.  His nature is unchanging and we can trust our Redeemer and learn from such experiences.  (Sixth excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)


Discussing Hopes and Victories

May your home be filled with different conversation in the year to come—different because you are no longer discussing threats and defeats but hopes and victories.   “Answer my prayers, O True God, the righteous, who makes me right.  I was hopelessly surrounded, and You rescued me.  Once again hear me; hide me in Your favor;  bring victory in defeat and hope in hopelessness.” (Ps.4:1, The Voice)


The First Step to Defeat Defeat

Father’s strength and wisdom are available for weary people to take the first step after not moving against things that have defeated them in the last year. The time of not doing something about defeating-factors is over. The first step will be admitting there is a problem and wanting the answer, even if it means we have to put forth some effort and make some changes. The first step will be to not wait for others and not wait for those circumstances to change, but begin the change in us.  Ps.37:23— “The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].” (Amp)


Dreams and Previews

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream, don’t be quick to assume the dream was a literal preview or warning.  People are usually quick to think any upset, uneasiness or troubling is a warning of impending danger or grief, but more often dreams are exposing a troubling within rather than warning of one to come.  If God does send a warning dream or vision, it is to call you to effectual action, not just trouble you.  Father would only send warning dreams to put you in motion, not put you in fear or dread. (Fourth excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)


Find Rest

As the people of God assemble today may they find rest unto their souls. May they exchange tears and weariness for strength and joy. May they discover that true rest is responsibly acting in the authority they have been given by their Lord and Savior and not try to live a lifestyle driven by mere desire and obligation to people and causes not ordained by their Lord. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.” (Matt.11:28)

Reacting in a Dream

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream or vision, note your behavior and reactions during the experience.  It is helpful to remember how you felt and reacted during a dream or vision because when you wake up, your emotions and logic can change everything.  For example, if you dreamed you are at a funeral of a beloved person, but in the dream there was no upset or sadness on your part, that says the dream is symbolic and not about literal death and loss.  However, the next morning when your emotions wake up and you relive that funeral scene, you may feel gut-wrenching grief over the loss. You can miss the message of the dream if your awake-emotion contradicts your response during the dream. Or when your fear wakes up you may be terrified for the person and get them thinking they are under a death threat before breakfast.  Or when logic wakes up, you may feel cold-hearted and ashamed that you were not sad and again miss the message of the dream.  The message in that dream boils down to either that person or your relationship with them is facing major changes, but not changes that include devastating trauma. (Third excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)

Safety Net for Dreams and Visions

(Kathy Gabler)—We should always ask God for wisdom concerning a dream or vision. Constantine was so locked in awe of his vision of a cross in the sky that he evidently thought it was a spiritual experience that affirmed his spirituality and made him a spiritual guru.  He then presumed to take his nation to church but instead, he took them into the Dark Ages.  After asking for wisdom, wait until God gives it so that misinterpretation does not make you miss the point of the dream or vision.  Remember your safety net for dreams and visions is relationship with God so you know His voice, His  nature and His character, and relationship with the Body of Christ so that you can get perspective on your dreams and visions beyond your own.


Replies That Impart Life

May the Lord give His people effectual replies to remarks and inquiries which they are confronted with. May those replies His people give impart life, truth and resolve in every situation. “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” (Prov.25:11)
