A Word That Conflicts?

KATHY—Does God ever send us a word that conflicts with our personal beliefs?  Yes.  It’s not that God is out to upset our apple cart.  It is that He loves us too much to let us continue finding security in our beliefs that are tainted by error, warped by experience or hindered by misunderstanding.  These things will leave us at dead ends, frustrated and unfulfilled at some point in our destiny, and He loves us too much to simply allow that. But when our compassionate Father confrontations those carefully guarded systems, we have three major resources to set and confirm our course: the Word, godly counsel and discernment.


Absent From Local Fellowship

As the people of God assemble today, may there be faith stirred in hearts concerning those who have been absented from the local fellowship. May there be expectancy that they be returned to the fellowship to edify and, once again, take their place on the wall.  “May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent and hidden one from another.” (Gen. 31:49, Amp)


That Does Not Consider Odds

Marty when speaking at Hope For America in D.C.: “You and I may not be Gideon but we are part of the Gideon company that does not consider odds. We consider Him who has called us. We consider His Word and the dreams He has put in us.”


Substandard or Premium

MELISSA — Look at this, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) The first half of this verse is substandard and the second half is premium. I am always drawn to that word “might” in this passage. That tells me abundant life is not a guarantee.  It’s not a guarantee to those that are asleep because their life is ruled by substandard, unclean fear.  If we don’t wake up we can’t operate in the abundance.  (MELISSA will be leading us in a Worship Encounter and speaking at DREAMS VISIONS PROPHECY September 8, 2023.

Transition Into New Norms

KATHY—I have sensed for several months that the Body of Christ is in an important time of transition into new norms.  One of the new norms I believe we can expect is strategic dreams that equip us for the purposes of God.  I consider strategic dreams to be those timely telegrams that confirm direction or give instruction or release insight and understanding for a mandate and call to action. Our Father is an equipping God.     KATHY will be speaking at the DREAMS, VISIONS AND PROPHECY CONFERENCE  Sept.8-10 — Schedule and details:  martygabler.com/dvp2023/     gracewillis.org


Something to Anticipate

The coming generation will anticipate something. Who will give them something to anticipate? Will they anticipate hopelessness or the possibilities of the God of the Bible? One of the biggest favors we can do the coming generation is to build anticipation into them, anticipation for the intervention of God, anticipation to see God do something no previous generation has ever seen. Every time people speak of tragedy and hopelessness, let us say to the coming generation, “BUT GOD….”. Let’s help them keep their anticipator alive and well and functioning at peak capacity. Let’s charge it up at every opportunity!

Angelic Company

MELISSA—In days to come we will realize we have massive amounts of help from a God-created angelic company.  It’s time to be aware that God has created an angelic army doing His will on this earth right now.  It’s time we realized we are intended to network with them because they know our destiny and it is their job to help us get there.  Just like Elisha’s servant in 2 Kings 6, it is time for our eyes to be opened to this partnership God intended.  By the end of 2023 we will look back in amazement at what He has done and where we are. So, go ahead and ANTICIPATE the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God!

Choices That Contradict Feelings

KATHY–If we go to God for a deposit of His peace and wisdom, we can make a choice that contradicts our feelings.  That doesn’t mean you are giving up strategy and resolve, it means you’re just choosing not to stay UPSET while it comes.  To stay upset is to CHOOSE death because your body will suffer, relationships will suffer and “emotional reactions” will become KING in the house and set an atmosphere that draws more upset.  Consider: 1) Cocoons are tough times but can be used to process and develop and grow.  2) Choice is the best weapon for conquering the challenges of tough times.  3) CHOOSING  LIFE and wisdom will bring God-results out of life cocoons.


Completeness of God

As the people of God assemble today may they realize the completeness of God for the condition of lost mankind and live and speak representatively that the lost may know the One they are longing for.  “Indeed, the Son of Man has come to seek and to save people who are lost.” (Lk.19:10, GW)


Family and Relationships

Everywhere people gather, eventually discussion will get around to talking about family and the difficulties of relationships. I remember hearing about a man who attended a seminar and upon arriving told someone that he had come there to learn how to manage his family. One of the older leaders responded saying, “Don’t try to manage your family; learn to love and serve them, then leadership in the family will come as a by-product of the loving and serving.” It has been said that the biggest favor fathers can do their children is to love their mother.
(Eph.5:25, NKJV) “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.” We are praying you discover daily that you and your family are walking in our Lord’s sacrificial love.


Prophetic Lifestyle Opportunities

 Melissa — You are a representative of heaven during your lifetime. “But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A CONSECRATED NATION, A [special] PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9, Amplified) The prophetic lifestyle opens opportunities, timing, and connections. Opportunities: having the ears to hear to be at the right place at the right time for yourself and others. Timing: none of us understand the timing of God because He is working on so many levels. It takes a prophetic lifestyle to see beyond the limited vision of our normal dimensions. It can keep you sane where timing is concerned. Connection: Brings lives together for God team-ups, projects, events, etc. We were never meant to do life alone (1 Corinthians 12:20-21). In this day and age, this way of life is a total necessity for the body of Christ.
MELISSA will be leading worship and speaking on “The Prophetic Lifestyle” at DREAMS VISIONS PROPHECY 2023 Sept.8 at Grace Church Willis,TX. All details are at this link: martygabler.com/dvp2023/


Weaknesses and Restrictions be Removed

May you exercise without the pain of infirmities. May weaknesses
and restrictions be removed as you move and have your being in
Christ. May you make progress beyond what the demographics for
your age suggest. “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being. . .” (Acts 17:28)


Though You Walk in the Midst of Trouble

“Though you walk in the midst of trouble, may the Lord revive you; May He stretch forth His hand against the wrath of your enemies, And may His right hand save you. The Lord will accomplish what concerns you. [**We should declare out loud that the Lord will accomplish what concerns us**] Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” [**We should declare out loud that the Lord will not forsake the works of His hands**] (Taken from Ps 138:7-8)


Contend, Wage Warfare and Heed

Do you have a word or promise of God that has not come to pass in your life? Then (1) CONTEND—Deut.2:24 “begin to possess… and contend”; “contend”: to excite oneself against a foe,  (2) WAGE WARFARE— 1Tim.1:18 “wage the good warfare”: expedition, campaign, (3) HEED—2Pe.1:19 “…the prophetic word which you do well to heed”:  to attach oneself to; to be given to or addicted to; to devote thought and effort to.  Seems that while we are expecting God to do it all, there is a considerable amount we can be doing.


Putting on Jesus

MELISSA—A practical way to pray is by putting on Jesus: Romans 13:11-14 “Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.  Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.  But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”  – Back to the above mentioned side note, you “put Jesus on” through relationship and the prayer that flows from that relationship hits the target because it comes from His thoughts and ways which stand above anything happening here! (Isaiah 55:8-9)


Discerning-Obedience

KATHY—I sat at lunch with a friend who is a real trooper in the trenches.  As I listened to her heart after God, the thought came to me, ‘The only thing that can stop her from getting to God’s intentions would be getting worn out on the way.’  I made a decree over her, “This year, you will be quick to discern the difference between obligation and obedience.”  The enemy cunningly lays snares for a compassionate heart to distract them by the needs of others while they’re on the way to a God-mandate.  If distraction can deplete our energy, hell can hinder the purpose and timing of God.  We must be wise this year and budget our efforts as diligently as our pocket books.  


Father God Will Never Leave Us

As the people of God assemble today may they cease to focus on those matters that press them with fear and cause their hearts to be troubled and consider defeat. May they worship and sing victoriously and preach zealously of the victory of the risen Christ and the promises of Father God Who has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Heb.13:5). Ps.25:3,Amp—“Indeed, none of those who [expectantly] wait for You will be ashamed; Those who turn away from what is right and deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed (humiliated, embarrassed).”


Ordinary or Holy Ground?

Where you are standing may look like ordinary ground at first glance. Where you are presently, may seem like a wilderness without purpose but there is an all-wise, loving Father who in His wisdom and within His carefully planned timetable of events says, “Take off your shoes so that you do not tread thoughtlessly on ground and time that I have set apart for a purpose.”  “Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” (Ex.3:5, NKJV)


A Practical Way to Pray

MELISSA—Here are some practical ways to pray during this time.  (Quick side note, our first priority in wartime prayer is to tend to our relationship with our God.  It’s through that relationship that we learn to trust the One who created this earth, and know how to pray from divine truth.)  Back to prayer, 1. A practical way to pray is tongues.  Praying in tongues is speaking mysteries that only God can understand.  1 Corinthians 14:2 “For one who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to people but to God; for no one understands him or catches his meaning, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries [secret truths, hidden things].”  There’s no babbling going on here, just full-on pure interaction with the King.  So, this means the soul can’t get in the way, nor can what we just saw on the news.


I Will Restore

KATHY—Perhaps we could paraphrase Joel 2:25 like this:  I will restore the years swallowed up because you did not realize the significance of MY purpose and destiny in your life.  The circumstances were forces that I used to change you, to build character, to build strength, to complete a work within you and to bring about the right timing and conditions for My purpose in you.
