Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
This is a time when you must rest and be restored. Rise up in the Spirit and access the substance of rejuvenation and receive it by faith. Everything you need to be refreshed and renewed is within your grasp. This is a new day, and you have the ability to reset and begin again.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
1 John 3:1-24 Be Imitators of Christ
Behold! what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. On account of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God and not yet was it manifested what we will be; but we know that if He should be manifested, we will be likened to Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every one having this hope upon Him, purifies himself, as that One is pure. Every one committing sin, also commits lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. And you know that that One was made manifest, that He should lift away our sins; and sin is not in Him. Anyone abiding in Him, does not sin; anyone sinning has not seen Him nor has known Him. Sons, let no one mislead you! The one executing the righteousness is righteous, as that One is righteous. The one committing sin is of the devil, for from the beginning the devil sins. For this the Son of God was made manifest, that He should loosen the works of the devil. Anyone engendered of God, does not commit sin, for His seed abides in him; and he is not able to sin, because he has been engendered by God. Love the BrethrenIn this the children of God are apparent and the children of the devil. Every one not executing righteousness is not of God, even the one not loving his brother. For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain who was of the wicked one and slew his brother. And for what favor did he slay him? because his works were wicked, but the ones of his brother righteous. Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world detests you! We know that we have crossed over from death into life, for we love the brethren. The one not loving the brethren, abides in death. Every one detesting his brother is a man-killer; and you know that every man-killer does not have life eternal abiding in him. By this we have known the love of God, because that One placed His life for us; and we ought to place our lives for the brethren. But who ever should have the livelihood of the world and should view his brother having need and should lock up his feelings of compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My sons, we should not love in word nor tongue, but in work and truth. And in this we know that we are of the truth and before Him we shall yield our hearts. For if our heart should condemn, know that God is greater than our heart and He knows all things. Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence before God. And what ever we should ask, we receive from Him, for His Commandments we keep and the things pleasing before Him we do. And this is His Commandment โ that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and we should love one another, as He gave Commandment. And the one keeping His Commandments abides in Him and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave to us.
May 8, 2024. Some of you have aches and pains especially in the bones. Nothing that the medical profession is doing seems to help. Today, I want you to examine yourself and see if you have any type of unforgiveness, bitterness or resentment. A root of bitterness will defile you and sin sets in. Begin today to release those who have hurt you, do not dwell on the past and begin to watch your bones flourish. I love you and want you whole.
Psalm 109:18 "But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment and it entered into his body like water and like oil into his bones.โ
Proverbs 3:7-8 โDo not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from all evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
May 8, 2024. I am giving you the desires of your heart as you take delight in Me. I have placed the desires in you so that I can give them to you. Many have wondered why you desire the things you do. I say to you, I have placed them there and it is time for their fulfillment. Take delight in Me and watch Me do this. Delight in Me and I will do it.
Psalms 37:4 โTake delight in the Lord and He will give you your heartโs desire." Jennifer Peikert
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Hang on to My promises when you have a setback. Overall, you are making progress, but not all things are coming up roses and clover. Challenges are part of life that either break you down or strengthen your resolve. It will be up to you as to how you respond. You would do well to be strong in the face of adversity, and put your trust in Me, says the Lord.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
1 John 2:12-29
Paul
I write to you, sons, for the sins have been forgiven to you through His name. I write to you, fathers, because you have known the One from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, children, because you have known the Father. I wrote to you, fathers, because you have known the One from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong and the Word of God abides in you and you have overcome the wicked one.
Love Not the World
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world! If anyone should love the world, the love of the Father is not in him; for every thing in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentatiousness of existence, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away and the desire of it; but the one doing the will of God abides into the eon. Children, it is the last hour; and as you heard that the antichrist comes, and now many antichrists exist, whereupon we know that it is the last hour. From us they went forth, but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us; but it was that they should be made manifest that all are not of us. And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I wrote not to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and that every lie is not of the truth. Who is the liar, if not the one denying, saying that, Jesus is not the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. Every one denying the Son, neither has the Father. You then, what you heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning should abide in you, then you shall abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise which He promised to us โ the life eternal. These things I wrote to you concerning the ones misleading you. And you โ the anointing which you received from Him abides in you and you have no need that any should teach you; but, as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and as it taught you, you shall abide in Him. And now, sons, abide in Him! that whenever He should be made manifest, we should have an open manner, and we should not be ashamed before Him at His arrival. If you know that He is righteous, you know that every one doing the righteousness is engendered of Him.
May 7, 2024. You have been โlitโ by My fire. The unquenchable fire that brings joy everlasting. From this point on your focus will be purified โ no more looking back โ no more regret. Know that I have come with a cleansing wave โ removing all hindrances and obstacles. Now youโre on the path of wholeness and restoration. All the years that have been stolen will be paid back to you now.
Joel 2:25a โAnd I will recompense to you for the years which the blight devoured and the grasshopper and locust and the caterpillar,โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
May 7, 2024. When you go to the ocean and you sit as close to the water as you can get without getting completely soaked, shut your eyes and listen to MY voice, says the LORD. I will speak loud enough to drown out the voices of others and yet soft enough to get into your heart. Often you say you canโt hear MY voice but in reality You do hear MY voice. It is the distraction of โotherโ voices that have caused you to doubt. Even if you arenโt next to the ocean, go into your closet, shut the door and focus on ME, says the Lord, I want to overtake you with My Word and MY Glory!
Ezekiel 43:2 โand behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And there was a voice of the camp as the repeating voice of many. And the ground shone forth as brightness in the glory roundabout.โ
Revelation 1:15 โHis feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of rushing waters.โ Budd Rodgers
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
You are in a season of progression. You will be able to break through invisible barriers that have kept you from achieving certain goals. If you pay attention, you will discover that you are experiencing a freedom that only comes from realizing spiritual reality. Refuse to believe that living and walking in the Spirit is fragile. It is the most solid existence possible.
Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
1 John 2:1-11
Abiding in Christ
Paul
My sons, these things I write to you, that you should not sin. And if any should sin, we have a comforter with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. And He is atonement for our sins; but not only for ours, but also for the whole world. And by this we know that we have known Him if the Commandments of His we keep. The one saying, I know Him, and is not keeping His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this one. But who ever should give heed of His Word, truly in this one the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him. The one saying to be abiding in Him, ought as that One walked, also himself so to walk. Brethren, I do not write to you a new Commandment, but an old Commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old Commandment is the Word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new Commandment I write to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness passes away and the true Light already shines forth. The one saying to be in the Light and detests his brother, is in the darkness until now. The one loving his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause of offence in him. But the one detesting his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness and does not know where he goes, because the darkness blinded his eyes.
May 6, 2024. I speak to those in overwhelming sadness. I know your pain and I feel your sorrow. Weeping is for today but allow the sun to come out tomorrow. Sadness is not your mantraโฆallow Me to penetrate through the difficulties and allow the โSon,โ the โSun,โ to come into your day. Stop the stealingโฆonly you can stand up and say, โEnough is enoughโ. Submit to My joy for the day and refuse the sadness.
Psalm 30:5b โWeeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning.โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
May 6, 2024. You have been faithful to sow into My Kingdom in many ways. You give of yourself time and time again. The enemy tried to convince you that I am not aware nor grateful for the time, energy and finances that you have sown into those around you in My name. Do not let Satan have even the slightest satisfaction in his lies. I see the way you give and serve. Be assured of My blessing on you!
1 Chronicles 28:9-10 โAs for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be courageous and act.โ Jonas Bohlin
The Trumpet by Bill Burns:
The goal of this season is to get connected by the Spirit of God to Jesus Christ so that His spiritual life will flow into us and become a fountain of life by which we live. The reward of this process is the confirmation that God is real and that He is active among His people with signs and wonders that will generate strong faith that works in us and for us.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
Deliberately come into peace as you release yourself from stress. Step onto the firm foundation of faith in My Word, in My kingdom, and in relationship with Me, says the Lord. When your foundation is solid, everything that you build will reflect that same fundamental power. Your position in Me will bring you to a position of life and strength.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
1 John 1
Fellowship with Jesus
Paul
Which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we were spectators of and our hands handled concerning the Word of the life; (and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and bear witness, and announce to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us,) which we have seen and have heard we report to you, that also you should have fellowship with us; and indeed the fellowship, the one of ours is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you, that our joy is being full. And this is the promise which we have heard from Him, and we announce to you, that God is light, and darkness is not in any way in Him. If we should say that we have fellowship with Him, and in the darkness should walk, we lie, and we do not observe the truth. But if we should walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His son cleanses us from all sin. If we should say that we do not have sin, we mislead ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we should acknowledge our sins, He is trustworthy and just that He should have forgiven us the sins, and should have cleansed us from all iniquity. If we should say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His Word is not in us.
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Some of you, My people, are more creative than others, but everyone is creative in his own way and genre. Some of you have neglected your gift by being immersed in the stark reality of undesirable world conditions. Allow your creativity to be a place of solace and of allowing spiritual reality to kick in. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, says the Lord.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this eon, but be transformed in the renewal of your mind, in the trying of yourselves, in what is the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God!
May 4, 2024. It is time to emulate the prophet, Isaiah. Itโs lip cleansing time. Isaiah encountered Me and had a revelation of unclean lips. He instantly repented in My presence and answered the call for service. I took a burning coal from the altar and cleansed his lips and forgave him for his sin. He was immediately commissioned to speak to the people. Itโs time for you to be cleansed, set free and speak to the people. Submit to My coal.
๏ปฟIsaiah 6:4-9a โTheir voices shook the Temple to its foundations and the entire building was filled with smoke. Then I said, โItโs all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heavenโs Armies.โ Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips with it and said, โSee, this coal has touched your lips. Now your lawless deeds are removed and your sins are forgiven.โ Then I heard the Lord asking, โWhom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?โ I said, โHere I am. Send me.โ And He said, โYes, go, and say to this people,โ Robin Robinson Bohlin
May 4, 2024. โApril showers bring May flowersโ is at work in your life! I have watered and nurtured you now for a while. You have received water and nutrients needed for the next season. Your base has grown strong and the stalk is sturdy. Nowโฆuse all that has been placed within you. It is time to bloom and allow those around you to smell the aroma of My anointing on you as you move forward and bear much fruit!
๏ปฟJohn 15:4-5 โAbide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you are not able to do anything.โ Jonas Bohlin
