The Weapons Being Formed

KATHY GABLER–God Sees The Weapons Being Formed–The fact is that our God sees a weapon being formed whether we do or not. Therefore, He prepares and equips us to defeat that weapon. At the point that we realize this, we literally neutralize the long-term effect of an attack and turn the situation toward resolve. When a customized weapon shows up, we need not waste time denying it in the name of faith, but neither do we abide it. For reasons unknown, there is a glitch in some people’s thinking that if we cannot deny it, then we cannot defy it. That prevalent thinking is erroneous and dangerous thinking. No matter what the conditions or how many battles break out, we must defy until we defeat and we must allow no prisoners. We place our agreement strategically and emphatically upon the character and power and word of God and allow no creeping “buts” concerning statistics or age or personal history or deserving or “what if?”
Ps.33:18-19–Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect him, the ones who are looking for his love.He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together.
20-22–We’re depending on God; he’s everything we need.What’s more, our hearts brim with joy since we’ve taken for our own his holy name. Love us, God, with all you’ve got— that’s what we’re depending on.

What if….

Melissa Gabler—Have you ever dealt with a physical matter, not life or death, but an irritating battle that has almost caused a lockdown due to the “WHAT IF this gets worse” record playing in your head… on repeat? It’s that kind of battle that can send your emotions from one side of the spectrum to the other.  You’re not the only person to have dealt with this issue.  There are plenty of others living with it.  BUT, most likely, you just don’t see why you HAVE to live with it. So, a Bible-reading believer begins seeking God on the matter, and I believe He will faithfully give you revelation regarding your healing all along this journey.  Throughout this journey you likely know in your core that this physical issue is a done-deal.  In fact, at the beginning of this year I heard someone say that this is going to be a year of reversal! WELL, COME ON NOW (go ahead and take that for you and yours right now!).  Take it as another confirmation that not only are you being healed, but this thing is going to be reversed!


Find the Quiet

In the last two months, I have been in several conversations with upset and anxious people. Hearing their circumstances makes me understand their distress, but mid-conversation I hear again the instructions I heard that morning to “stay still” and “stay thankful”. I want to say to them, “I know it is a challenge when you are anxious and “what-ifs” are erupting in your thoughts and shooting holes in every hope that raises its head, but find the quiet stillness of confidence in God.  Then be thankful that opens the door to Him and He is already on the doorstep.”
