Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
You will have an opportunity to help someone who needs to be encouraged and to know that someone cares. I will fill your heart with compassion for those less fortunate. Go forth in the strength of My Spirit and Love to be My emissary, says the Lord.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
December 18, 2024. I know you are tempted to judge a certain person. Your thoughts about them are critical. I ask you, โWhy do you do this when I have shown you so much grace? Do you want to be judged in the same manner you judge? Change and become more like Me. How would it make you feel if I โnitpickedโ every little thing you did wrong? Remember this when you are tempted to judge and it will help you change.
Matthew 7:1-5 โDonโt judge, and then you wonโt be judged. For others will treat you as you treat them. And why worry about a speck in the eye of a brother when you have a board in your own? Should you say, โFriend, let me help you get that speck out of your eye,โ when you canโt even see because of the board in your own? Hypocrite! First get rid of the board. Then you can see to help your brother.โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
December 18, 2024. It is time to enter. Time to enter My Presence. Time to enter My rest and time to enter My joy. Many have been carrying burdens that aren't theirs to carry. Cast them off and enter in. Stop carrying false responsibilities. Cast them off of you and leave it all behind. Cast all your cares on Me. Move on over into this new realm. Rest, joy and peace are yours, enter in.
I Peter 5:7 โcasting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.โ
Hebrews 4:3a โFor we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has saidโฆโ Jennifer Peikert
December 18, 2013. (Reposted) I have what is needed. But it is not needed until it is needed. My grace is sufficient in your time of need. Don't presuppose what will happen. I give light enough to see in darkness. When you get to a place where you need more light, it will be there. This way we stay connected and you stay mindful of Me. You look to Me for your way and strength and I look to you as the one who presently gets the job done. You are my hands and feet.
John 14:6-7 "Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. If you had known Me, you should have known My Father also: and from henceforth you know Him, and have seen Him." Bev Robinson
December 18, 2013. (Reposted) No matter what you feel today about what is happening in the world around, God is at work to bless, increase and multiply you. You are at a time in your life at this moment when things have not measured up to what you were promised. There is the possibility of just running away and hiding until the storm is over. But the Lord is saying to you, "Do not run from your enemy. Face him square on and rebuke him. Command him to leave you, your family and ministry or business alone. Stand firm, raise your shield and use your sword. Win this battle."
Psalms 18:20-21 "The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God." Ras Robinson
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
This is a time when your perspective of life and relevance will undergo an adjustment. You will be able to see the cycle of life with greater understanding and clarity. Use this time to do all that you can to fulfill your destiny in Me, says the Lord. I am your past, your present, and your future.
John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
December 17, 2024. โTis the season to be jollyโฆโ is a line in the Christmas Carol โDeck the Hallsโ. Today โ choose joy! For what can you be thankful? There is plenty to lament overโฆbut why do that? It is easy to think on the bad. But what good does that do? Choose joy. Itโs a simple flip of the switch. Find something good to focus upon and watch your attitude change! Fa la la la la la la la la!
๏ปฟPhilippians 4:8 โNow my friends, I want to say this to you. Fill your minds with thoughts about good things. Think about things that are true, clean, right and lovely. Always think about things which people know are very good.โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
December 17, 2024. I was admiring a tree we have that turns a beautiful yellow orange in the fall. As I was looking at it, I heard the Lord say, โJust as I cause the leaves to change colors, and fall to the ground I am bringing change to My church. Trust the process, just as the old leaves fall away, they make room for the new growth. I am cutting away the old to make room for the new.โ
๏ปฟJohn 15:5-8 โI am the Vine, you are the branches. When youโre joined with Me and I with you, the relation is intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you canโt produce a thing. Anyone who separates from Me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make yourselves at home with Me and My Words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon. This is how My Father is glorifiedโwhen you produce much fruit, when you mature as My disciples.โ Pam Jackson
December 17, 2013. (Reposted) Fight your fear with belief. This will cause you to go from the ridiculous to the sublime. I know things look bad and you have made mistakes, but you aren't the only one. Don't take all the blame. Repent just for your part. You can't repent for another. You have to let them be responsible for their actions. You are learning, but you can't do the learning for them. Your thoughts, words and actions can move you into belief. Don't rehearse what is wrong over and over and over.
Philippians 3:13-14 "Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Bev Robinson
December 17, 2013. (Reposted) It is time for the church to grow up, according to the Apostle Paul's examination. He wrote to the church at Ephesus where both He and Timothy pastored. Both those pastors knew that God's Word would mature the saints of their church if they would practice it as both of them had done. The church had been given the ascension gifts of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. These gifts are to flow and work together. There is enough power here to change the world. Get it done.
Ephesians 4:14-16 "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love." Ras Robinson
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
There are plenty of people who will beat you up for making a mistake, but that does not mean that you must whip yourself also. Fix what you can when you can and move on. Nobody on the earth is perfect, but that does not mean that you should not try to do the best you can in every situation. Gather your strength and forge ahead.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will establish you with My righteous right hand.
December 16, 2024. Remember you are to not mourn as those without hope! I know your sorrow and I feel your pain but you must remember that I am working things for your good โ even the bad events โ they are working for your good. Begin to think on the good. A positive outlook in a negative situation will eventually lead to joy. Give yourself permission to be happy and smile, it will change your whole outlook.
๏ปฟ1 Thessalonians 4:13 โWe do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
December 16, 2024. Your life is full of choices. Today I say to you, be very careful about the choices that you make. The right choices will lead you down the right path to Me and the wrong choices will lead you into the direction of the world. The enemy is cunning and will use fear and lies to entice you down the wrong path. My Spirit is with you and will always lead you into what is best for you!
๏ปฟGalatians 5:16-17 โBut I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.โ Jonas Bohlin
December 16, 2013. (Reposted) Put your hope in Me. Your hope placed in anyone else will lead to disappointment. I always know what is best for you. I have plans that have been working since before you were born. Make your choices in line with those plans. Seek Me, and do what I say even when you don't know if you have heard Me exactly. If you stay in My stream and your heart is to obey, I will turn you to walking in My path and you will eventually arrive at the right destination.
Jeremiah 7:23 "But this is what I commanded them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.'" Bev Robinson
December 16, 2013. (Reposted) Giving thanks continually as a part of your daily prayer is as good a spiritual discipline as you can find. Do you have a difficult time being thankful in all circumstances? Though difficult, I choose to join the ranks of King David in the early morning prayers. I repent (our pastor stressed this yesterday in his sermon and prayers). Scripture clearly says we are to continually be thankful "in" (but does not say "for" all things whether in a festival, prison, high worship service or when there is great loss or gain financially or an unexpected medical issue.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." Ras Robinson
The Trumpet by Bill Burns:
Because God loves us He is always instructing and correcting us so that we can prosper in His kingdom. So, we must do that which will enable us to prosper in all things. Opportunities will be given, which will present a favorable time for advancement.
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love Me, and those who seek Me diligently will find favor and Me.
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:I am with you in times of trouble and in the midst of difficulties. Know that if you look for Me I will be found. If you will take one step towards Me, I will take a giant leap towards you. I will present Myself in ways that you would never expect, but in ways that will be exactly what you need at this moment, says the Lord.
Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the end of the living.
December 15, 2014. (Reposted) A new relationship gives you the feeling of Deja vu. It was good in the past and leaves you with the feeling that it will be good again. Yes it will be good, but it isn't the same, even though it appears the same. Be prepared to learn and grow. It's exciting because it feels like you have been here before. It seems to be familiar, but this is a completely new situation. New revelation will come. Grow in maturity. Learn from the past and be blessed again.
Proverbs 18:24 "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Bev Robinson
December 15, 2014. (Reposted) You are wise and you are increasing in wisdom. The Lord is pleased that you recognize His truth and want more. He knows you as one who is willing to be taught His wisdom rather than the wisdom of the world. You see your salvation as coming from God and not the world and its systems. This attitude and mindset has firmly established His hope deep inside your body, soul and spirit. Hope has never left you. This is why you always believe and place your trust for the future in God only.
Psalm 25:5 "Lead me by Your truth and teach me, for You are the God who saves me. And I waited on You all the day." Ras Robinson
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
To those who have a heart to be helpful, be mindful of the limitations of your strength and energy. Take time to rest and recharge, and be kind to yourself. Spend time in My presence so that your discernment is sharp and directives are clear.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
December 14, 2024. I want you to know that you have never disappointed Me. You say, โThatโs too good to be true.โ I say, โThis is where you are wrong.โ You see My love covers a multitude of sins. I knew your choices before you ever made them and because of that I have made a way out! Yes, I am The Waymaker. My thoughts are on always helping you out of a bad situation โ I AM the way.
Psalm 91:14-15 โBecause he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
December 14, 2024. An eagle soars high in the sky. That eagle was not always elevated but chose to rise to what it was designed to be. I have designed you to soar, without fear, into the high, elevated blessings that are yours because you are My child. Do not allow the enemy to keep you on the ground but look to Me and My ways to receive the abundant blessings that have been provided to you. Soar high!
Isaiah 40:31 โBut those who trust in the LORD will change in strength. They shall grow wings like eagles. They shall run and not grow weary. They shall walk and not hunger.โ Jonas Bohlin
December 14, 2013. (Reposted) I have words to say through you. Don't be troubled over what I want to say. Record what you have heard and what you continue to hear. I am preparing hearts to hear what you will say. Don't say any more and don't say any less. Say precisely what I have revealed to you. Fear not. Don't use excess emotion or the emoting will be the thing that calls for a response rather than what is said. It will be up to those who hear to heed what is said.
John 8:28 "So Jesus said, "Whenever you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me." Bev Robinson

Fathers, mothers, patriarchs and matriarchs who love God have a fear of God. This fear of God cannot be hidden away, but is to be kept on display. It must be seen in action in a consistent way. As this is done, the family becomes a fortress for its members and a refuge for their off spring. God promises that to fear Him is to receive from Him a fountain of life. The fear and dread of death vaporizes. It is not a snare to them, but a joyful transitioning to Heaven.
Proverbs 14:26-27 "In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and he leaves his children a support. The commandment of the Lord is a fountain of life; and it causes men to turn aside from the snare of death." Ras Robinson
