As the people of God assemble today may those whose hearts are heavy from failures, defeats and grief so far in this year lift their heads, get a deep breath and realize that they are part of the family of God and that they have strength and fellowship through Christ our Lord and the family of God to go on to victories in the remainder of the year. “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. 4 With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! (Ps.3:3-4, Amp)

May the Lord save you from the ignorance of others, the presumption of others and the carelessness of others. “When you act with presumption, convinced that you’re right, don’t be surprised if you fall flat on your face! But walking in humility helps you to make wise decisions.” (Prov.11:2, TPT)

I knew of a pastor who spent his life building a great church in a large city. Many lives were impacted by his faithfulness and the largeness of his vision. However, there came a time to redefine his 
role and be repositioned for the effectualness of the vision to future generations. The pride of being self-made gathered from the recesses of his years of experience. Fear of losing his personal investment caused him to go back on promises to the next generation of leadership. Pride, fear and self-determination kept him from synergizing with the potential of the future. He held tightly to the heart of the church that he had built, and when he left, feet first, it went with him. He started it and essentially ended it in one lifetime.
“What used to be” is not the witness that will impact a community or a region for the Kingdom. I AM is being misrepresented if He is not present-tense and awesome. If we refuse to allow pride or fear to keep us from fresh and timely obedience, sons of God will be redefined and repositioned as needed and we will flow into a momentum that causes the good plans of God to manifest. The groaning communities and regions will reel with the supernatural results and exponential harvest that He has planned. (Last excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

Our God is a self-disclosing God who reveals Himself in acts of power by forcefully breaking into our otherwise routine existence (cf. “violent tempest blast”-Acts 2:2, Amp). He breaks in upon His 
Church (which most certainly is His privilege) with memorable moments that breathtakingly remind us of our destiny and which propel us out of comfortable routine into that destiny. Being conformed to the Image of Christ and ruling this universe with Him is our destiny. Day to day maintenance of mundane comfort zones does not allow propulsion into that destiny. Cf. “The Lord of life leaves enough mystery to be intrusive, disruptive and surprising in order that He might shatter our tendencies to predictability and, yes, even boredom. Saints die of many things, but to die of boredom is the ultimate insult to the God of an ever-expanding glory!” (quote from Mark Chironna)

The month of NOVEMBER IS FOR COLLECTIVELY MOVING FORWARD with each of us in our place so that the Body of Christ is stepping in a coordinated cadence into the coming season of challenges that oppose the righteousness of King Jesus. “…holding fast to the Head, from Whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by means of its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.” (Col.2:19, Amp)

“It’s not easy being green”. The truth is that even if redefinition does reveal a right motive, a right heart, being repositioned is still a horse of a different color. At that point, Fear usually steps up to filibuster, talking incessantly to delay action and cooperation, like a child wanting to learn to swim but staying on the side of the pool in indecision, talking fast about everything that comes to mind, asking a thousand questions to delay the process. No, it’s just “not easy being green”, especially after you have already ripened in another place. The truth is however, that repositioning and redefinition into a new place does not mean we are “green” or the “new kid on the block.” A new place does not make a diligent man of destiny a novice starting over. On the contrary, God moves us to new opportunities because He knows we are prepared for it. (Twelfth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

As the people of God assemble today, may they realize there is no reason for us to live a lesser version of what God intended us to be. Let each of us provoke others to be what they were born to be. “….keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.” (1Pe.5:9b-11, Msg)

Sometime back we were battling with considerable financial and physical matters. Every solution I could think of was blocked and I couldn’t see any resolve, even on the horizon. Through the course of those days it seemed that a sense of panic would creep up in my gut. Honestly, I had come to the conclusion that we were in a pit that was hopeless.
After wrestling with this insurmountable dilemma for about two weeks, and arriving at certain negative conclusions (trying to choke back panic and hopelessness), I dreamed that I was standing in a huge, wide-open warehouse. I noticed a man walking toward me. When he got right in front of me he stopped and looked me right in the eye. He raised his hand, pointed at me and, matter-of-factly said, “You haven’t seen everything.” Then I woke up.
My foregone conclusions had me convinced that I had exhausted all possibilities because I felt I had seen everything (in all my musings and mental exercises) that might be brought to bear on the difficulties, and those things just simply were not available to us as a solution.
A trembling began down deep inside as I realized that the word in the dream was absolutely correct. I had not seen everything. Within 72 hours the whole thing turned around! Please understand that you have not seen everything. Not only have you not seen everything, but there are things that have not yet been formed in your behalf. (Compare Job 26:12-14; Isa.48:6-7; 1Cor.2:9) The cloud “the size of a man’s hand” did not begin to form until Elijah’s servant walked down to the sea and looked the seventh time (1K.18:44). Because the Kingdom is advancing and bringing with it facilitation for purpose “some of the best days of your life haven’t happened yet.” The Kingdom is advancing and, as you are in the Kingdom, it is advancing you with it.

For God to get something transitioned from His heart into the earth, He must find someone or several someones to cooperate. In order to cooperate, those someones must be willing to add to their present experiences. They must be courageous enough, hungry enough to accept new experiences from God! Some people have nailed down the lid on their “experience box”. Others have closed the file on further experiences from with God. Some have closed the books to any more entries. Jesus commanded 500 of His followers, “Tarry in Jerusalem until….” Yet only 120 went to Jerusalem and “waited until”. Why should 380 people who have the attitude “Been there, done it, got a T-shirt” “wait until”? The Promise of the Father came. A group of people still received power from heaven. But the point is: 380 people didn’t get over their bewilderment and receive. 380 people ended up merely reading about what happened to 120!

We are celebrating Reformation Day! On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther 
nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the Wittenberg Church door in Germany. What had been covered over by centuries of profitable and manipulative tradition, was exposed and the truth of God’s Word, the Gospel of salvation by grace (Eph.2:8), was made known. There is ONE Mediator between God and man, not a Mediator plus someone or some religious/ecclesiastical system (Heb.10:10). That Mediator, JESUS, alone was appointed by God to make atonement for the sins of men by His death. His atonement alone gives only Him authorization to be our Intercessor with God in our behalf. All persons (no matter race or creed) are to go directly to that Intercessor JESUS (Heb.7:25) and trust only in this Mediator alone. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1Tim.2:5).

God wants the passion of His character released into the Body of Christ. 
God’s passion is NOT our human experience. The people who will know God will know passions that they have never known in themselves alone. They will know extents of emotions that they would never know within the bounds of culturally acceptable bounds. Our human experience wants limitations on all things and wants to control all things…. including God! One preacher put it this way, “The ways of God must be inscrutable beyond understanding. If they were not, they would be surrendered to man’s mind. And if to man’s mind, then ultimately to man’s control.” Cf. Isa 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

It is not easy to be redefined or repositioned because change stirs up re-evaluation and self-examination that shakes our self-image. If I have to change positions or titles, does that mean I was wasting my time before? Not necessarily. Holding a place until a season is fulfilled is part of the destiny process. Have I failed and therefore have to be replaced? No, being repositioned by the Spirit of God is about growth and effectualness, not failure. Am I being demoted instead of promoted? Paradigms and experience and old models may say “Yes,” but if God is truly in charge, He is always about maturity and increase. We can trust His title changes and redefining to position us for excellence and promotion in His Kingdom. (Tenth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

As the people of God assemble today, may the Lord encourage them for the future of our nation and their vital part in assuring that future. May they be encouraged that their prayers and partnership are significant in His workings in America. May they receive His assurance that they shall not be moved out of purpose nor off the foundation of God Almighty. “God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” (Ps.46:5) “He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.” (Ps.62:6)

The bottom line is that disclosure dreams reveal issues in our lives and if you ignore the dream, you ignore the issue. Then you coexist with it instead of conquering it. One of the most obvious types of disclosure dreams is recurring dreams or dreams with a recurring theme (i.e., similar settings, action, emotions, outcomes or atmospheres). These types of dreams can be from God or 
our own springs, but they are revealing something that we need to be aware of, address and/or resolve. A recurring dream can be an ongoing process so that every time you dream it, you are moving toward resolve. A recurring dream can become a personal indicator like our teapot telling us when we’re about to blow or when we are battling an old, familiar war. A recurring dream can be an ongoing process bringing clarity to a future mandate, obedience or strategy. A recurring dream can reveal a memory that needs closure. A recurring dream can signal an unconscious battle or fear. Or recurring dreams can reveal a destructive pattern or cycle that needs to be broken. I’ve talked to a number of dreamers that discovered two or more generations had the same troubling, recurring dreams because the root was not resolved in the first generation. We can pursue an understanding of recurring dreams and take issues to God for deliverance, resolve or healing and stop tormenting dreams, perhaps for generations! (Kathy Gabler)

When Israel broke camp in the wilderness, it was God’s command that Judah go out first (Num 2:9). The first prince to offer sacrifice for the dedication of the altar (Num 7:12) was the prince of 
the tribe of Judah. When the nation of Israel went out to war, God chose Judah to go out first (Num 10:14; Jud 20:18). It wasn’t because Judah was something special on a stick; it wasn’t some kind of archaic hierarchy which no one understood but bowed to it just the same. That was God’s effectiveness. God’s order will result in the enemy being defeated. Many times the enemy will see the ark, the dancers, tambourines and worshipers and simply run without putting up a fight because of God’s effective order. The many agendas of the democratically inclined and the special interests groups will not win the battle. They will bog the army down in the quagmire of men’s agendas.

It is not easy to be redefined or repositioned when there is no model for it. Without a model, there is no guarantee that the upheaval in our lives is worth it! We are much more secure when we 
have a contemporary model to go by, but when God is building a model, it might start with you! You might be the one building a boat before anyone even grasps the concept of rain or flooding. You might be the one climbing out of the boat and walking on water. That means you are the one who must be willing to make mistakes or face the criticism and ridicule that reformation requires. (Ninth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

Knowing God’s Word and knowing that He is watching over it to fulfill it, and that it will not be allowed to return to Him without being fulfilled, a prophetic people cannot help but praise and sing praises and dance victoriously before their Captain. A prophetic church knows the outcome and cannot help but begin praising God even before seeing the physical evidence. A prophetic church is lively, active (movement), noisy, musical, has banners to display the greatness of God and the people’s exuberance for Him in art and dance.

I suspect fresh obedience and the radical changes it brings may shake our personal world more than we imagined. The new models emerging in the Body of Christ will involve a redefining of roles and repositioning of men among men. Even though the results will bring us to more excellence in our calling as individuals, it is not easy to be redefined or repositioned. (Eighth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)

“AS YOU GO” about your Father’s business today, this week and the remainder of this year, what you accomplish will far exceed your abilities and learned knowledge. You will have delightful discoveries that your Father’s hand is working beyond your immediate awareness. You will be involved in His workings without having to launch yourself for a particular mission. He will use you and you will accomplish matters for His Kingdom “AS YOU GO”. You will accomplish more “accidentally” than the enemy will accomplish on purpose. Matt 10:7 “And AS YOU GO, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

As the people of God assemble today, may His powerful Holy Spirit compact us, that is, cause us to coalesce, being formed into one mass or community operating in harmony. May the ligaments in His Church hold us together solidly. And may we so be built up in love that our harmony may never be found by Him to be disconsonant.
“For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.” (Eph.4:16, Amp)

May the Lord save you from the ignorance of others, the presumption of others and the carelessness of others. “When you act with presumption, convinced that you’re right, don’t be surprised if you fall flat on your face! But walking in humility helps you to make wise decisions.” (Prov.11:2, TPT)
role and be repositioned for the effectualness of the vision to future generations. The pride of being self-made gathered from the recesses of his years of experience. Fear of losing his personal investment caused him to go back on promises to the next generation of leadership. Pride, fear and self-determination kept him from synergizing with the potential of the future. He held tightly to the heart of the church that he had built, and when he left, feet first, it went with him. He started it and essentially ended it in one lifetime. 
Church (which most certainly is His privilege) with memorable moments that breathtakingly remind us of our destiny and which propel us out of comfortable routine into that destiny. Being conformed to the Image of Christ and ruling this universe with Him is our destiny. Day to day maintenance of mundane comfort zones does not allow propulsion into that destiny. Cf. “The Lord of life leaves enough mystery to be intrusive, disruptive and surprising in order that He might shatter our tendencies to predictability and, yes, even boredom. Saints die of many things, but to die of boredom is the ultimate insult to the God of an ever-expanding glory!” (quote from Mark Chironna)
The month of NOVEMBER IS FOR COLLECTIVELY MOVING FORWARD with each of us in our place so that the Body of Christ is stepping in a coordinated cadence into the coming season of challenges that oppose the righteousness of King Jesus. “…holding fast to the Head, from Whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by means of its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.” (Col.2:19, Amp)
“It’s not easy being green”. The truth is that even if redefinition does reveal a right motive, a right heart, being repositioned is still a horse of a different color. At that point, Fear usually steps up to filibuster, talking incessantly to delay action and cooperation, like a child wanting to learn to swim but staying on the side of the pool in indecision, talking fast about everything that comes to mind, asking a thousand questions to delay the process. No, it’s just “not easy being green”, especially after you have already ripened in another place. The truth is however, that repositioning and redefinition into a new place does not mean we are “green” or the “new kid on the block.” A new place does not make a diligent man of destiny a novice starting over. On the contrary, God moves us to new opportunities because He knows we are prepared for it. (Twelfth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)
As the people of God assemble today, may they realize there is no reason for us to live a lesser version of what God intended us to be. Let each of us provoke others to be what they were born to be. “….keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.” (1Pe.5:9b-11, Msg)
After wrestling with this insurmountable dilemma for about two weeks, and arriving at certain negative conclusions (trying to choke back panic and hopelessness), I dreamed that I was standing in a huge, wide-open warehouse. I noticed a man walking toward me. When he got right in front of me he stopped and looked me right in the eye. He raised his hand, pointed at me and, matter-of-factly said, “You haven’t seen everything.” Then I woke up.
For God to get something transitioned from His heart into the earth, He must find someone or several someones to cooperate. In order to cooperate, those someones must be willing to add to their present experiences. They must be courageous enough, hungry enough to accept new experiences from God! Some people have nailed down the lid on their “experience box”. Others have closed the file on further experiences from with God. Some have closed the books to any more entries. Jesus commanded 500 of His followers, “Tarry in Jerusalem until….” Yet only 120 went to Jerusalem and “waited until”. Why should 380 people who have the attitude “Been there, done it, got a T-shirt” “wait until”? The Promise of the Father came. A group of people still received power from heaven. But the point is: 380 people didn’t get over their bewilderment and receive. 380 people ended up merely reading about what happened to 120!
nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the Wittenberg Church door in Germany. What had been covered over by centuries of profitable and manipulative tradition, was exposed and the truth of God’s Word, the Gospel of salvation by grace (Eph.2:8), was made known. There is ONE Mediator between God and man, not a Mediator plus someone or some religious/ecclesiastical system (Heb.10:10). That Mediator, JESUS, alone was appointed by God to make atonement for the sins of men by His death. His atonement alone gives only Him authorization to be our Intercessor with God in our behalf. All persons (no matter race or creed) are to go directly to that Intercessor JESUS (Heb.7:25) and trust only in this Mediator alone. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1Tim.2:5).
God’s passion is NOT our human experience. The people who will know God will know passions that they have never known in themselves alone. They will know extents of emotions that they would never know within the bounds of culturally acceptable bounds. Our human experience wants limitations on all things and wants to control all things…. including God! One preacher put it this way, “The ways of God must be inscrutable beyond understanding. If they were not, they would be surrendered to man’s mind. And if to man’s mind, then ultimately to man’s control.” Cf. Isa 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
It is not easy to be redefined or repositioned because change stirs up re-evaluation and self-examination that shakes our self-image. If I have to change positions or titles, does that mean I was wasting my time before? Not necessarily. Holding a place until a season is fulfilled is part of the destiny process. Have I failed and therefore have to be replaced? No, being repositioned by the Spirit of God is about growth and effectualness, not failure. Am I being demoted instead of promoted? Paradigms and experience and old models may say “Yes,” but if God is truly in charge, He is always about maturity and increase. We can trust His title changes and redefining to position us for excellence and promotion in His Kingdom. (Tenth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)
As the people of God assemble today, may the Lord encourage them for the future of our nation and their vital part in assuring that future. May they be encouraged that their prayers and partnership are significant in His workings in America. May they receive His assurance that they shall not be moved out of purpose nor off the foundation of God Almighty. “God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” (Ps.46:5) “He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.” (Ps.62:6)
our own springs, but they are revealing something that we need to be aware of, address and/or resolve. A recurring dream can be an ongoing process so that every time you dream it, you are moving toward resolve. A recurring dream can become a personal indicator like our teapot telling us when we’re about to blow or when we are battling an old, familiar war. A recurring dream can be an ongoing process bringing clarity to a future mandate, obedience or strategy. A recurring dream can reveal a memory that needs closure. A recurring dream can signal an unconscious battle or fear. Or recurring dreams can reveal a destructive pattern or cycle that needs to be broken.
