Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns: See that you do not become weary of doing good even when you feel used and unrewarded. Set your heart to know that you do not need accolades for doing what you have been given to do. Just give it your all, and know that you will reap whatever you sow. 

Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

October 17, 2024. Some of you are holding on to the past. It is not necessarily a bad past, but it is the past, nevertheless. I want you fluid in your present. You have allowed the “ties” to the past to hold you back from living in the present. I want you engaged with your “now”! Holding on to lingering memories will prevent you from being all you can be in the present and in the future. Be free to live NOW!

Isaiah 43:18-19 “Don’t remember the prior things; don’t ponder ancient history. Look! I’m doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; all should see; don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 17, 2015. (Reposted)   Could it be today? Seek to live each day as if it is the day Christ will suddenly appear and take those who are born again to Heaven. There will be no warning. Jesus will suddenly be with you. Make sure your heart is clear and open. Ask Holy Spirit to cleanse and make you whole, properly attired and pure. Harbor no fear or unbelief. Forgive and make restitution to all whom you have offended. Be alert to signs in the heavens. Also be on guard to resist the devil.

Mark 13:33 “And since you don’t know when that time will come, be on guard! Stay alert and pray!” Ras Robinson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

You can look back and reflect and regret the things you have done until you are exhausted. It will change nothing. You were not perfect then, and you will not be perfect today. But, you can put the past behind you, and set your heart to be the best version possible of yourself today. Seek Me for guidance and direction, says the Lord. 

Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

October 16, 2024. Go ahead and forgive. So you say. “I cannot forgive that person; you don’t know what they have done to me.” Have you had your hands nailed to a cross? Have you had your feet nailed to a cross? Have you been stabbed with a spear in your side? No? Then you CAN forgive, perhaps you just don’t want to. The power to extend forgiveness is enormous…the same power that conquered the grave lives in you!

Luke 23:34 “Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.” They drew lots as a way of dividing up His clothing.”

Romans 8:11 “Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, He will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that dwells in you!” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 16, 2024. I am with you always. You can do all things through Me. Put on your shield of belief. Belief absorbs the illegal thoughts of the enemy. Do not entertain his thoughts, cast them down and put your shield up. Belief absorbs and puts out lies. Your thoughts that are anchored in belief are reality. Real belief comes from surrender and believing. Have belief in Me. Believe Me, I cannot lie. I am with you, the impossible has to bow.

Ephesians 6:16 “With all having taken up the shield of the belief, in which you shall be able to extinguish all the arrows of the wicked one being setting on fire;”

Mark 11:22  “And responding Jesus says to them, Have belief of God!”  Jennifer Peikert

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Take a deep breath. You have been here before and have gained the victory. This is no different. Set yourself to stay calm and do not doubt the breakthrough that is coming. Exercise quiet reserve and patience. 

Ecclesiastes 7:8 The end of a thing is better than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than a proud in spirit.

October 15, 2024. In a vision, I saw a canoe tipping over in a raging river. It was sinking fast. The Lord said, “Call out to Me, call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved. I say to you salvation is not just for eternity spent in Heaven, salvation is being rescued out of situations that are dangerous. Call out to Me for I am your salvation in ALL areas. My ear is always attentive to your cry.” 

Romans 10:13 “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be delivered.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 15, 2024. Do you realize that My power lives inside you? It is the very power that brings life into every situation. It will break every chain, and everything that tries to hold you back from My purpose for your life. You are NOT defeated. It’s time to step into My power and arise from a victim to a victorious Warrior. Pick up your sword and fight like never before. I am with you always. 

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “But He answered me, ‘My favor is always more than enough for you, and My power finds its full expression through your weakness.’ So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.” Pam Jackson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Be gentle with yourself. You need healing both emotionally and physically, and beating yourself up because you do not feel like you measure up will only be harmful. Give yourself to Me, says the Lord, and I will heal you and set you free. I will treat you with the utmost care. 

1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

October 14, 2024. Call on the Name above all names! So many times you are tempted to reach out to “names” other than Me. Yes, people are Me with skin on, but My Name is the Name that can help you the most. If those other “names” are not pointing you to the “Name” then step aside and let them pass through. My Name is a Strong Tower; My Name is the one to run to in times of trouble.

Philippians 2:9-10 “Therefore, God highly honored Him and gave Him a name above all names, so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth might bow.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 14, 2024. Have you forgotten or lost sight of the calling that I have placed on your life? The cares of the day-to-day challenges have served to dim your memory of My call on your life. Offense and unforgiveness have allowed the enemy to thwart your effectiveness in the Kingdom. Repent and I will refresh you and you will see clearly again. It is as if the windows of your soul have been cleaned to see again.

Romans 11:29 “For irrevocable are the favors and the calling of God.” Jonas Bohlin

The Trumpet by Bill Burns:

We are now entering a season of the amplification of your destiny being established by the choices you make. You must get connected and stay connected to God in order to choose righteously and reap a good reward. 

James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Stir yourself up and renew your belief. Yes, there have been disappointments and setbacks, but those things can serve to strengthen your spiritual resolve. It depends on whether you choose to be a victim or to rise up to be an overcomer. You can allow your past difficulties to anchor you where you are. Or, you can allow them to fuel the next phase of your destiny, says the Lord. 

Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on ascending.

October 13, 2011. (Reposted)I see someone who believes that humility is weakness. You will seldom give in and bow your head in submission. Society, your culture and the world have taught you well. But I say to you excessive self-esteem is pride misused, leading to a great fall. Be careful to not allow this kind of pride to be your guide in this life. It has no place in My kingdom.  Instead, I want you to have a healthy sense of the worth I have given you. Let your sense of worth be expressed in confidence and boldness in the Lord. Quarrels and contentions are the playground of prideful hearts. Do not participate. Let humility be your strength.

Proverbs 13:10 “Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.” Ras Robinson 

October 13, 2014. (Reposted)   I am the gate to good pastures. I am also the Shepherd who leads into good pastures. When you consistently consume the food of My pastures, you will see all of your needs and most all of your wants thoroughly satisfied. Roll all your needs and wants over onto Me. I will show and feed you what you really want, what you deep down really want. Right now you aren’t completely sure what you want. When you get there, you will say, “This is what I really wanted.”

John 10:9-11 “I am the door; through Me if anyone should enter, he shall be delivered, and shall enter and shall go forth, and shall find pasture. The thief comes not, except that he should steal, and should sacrifice, and should destroy; I came that one should have life, and should have extra. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices His life for the sheep.  Bev Robinson 

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Refuse to allow the behavior of others to get you down, but rather have compassion and exercise understanding. These seem to be the days of criticism and measuring others according to your unspoken standards. This is a time to do unto others as you would have them do to you. 

Matthew 18:33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?

October 12, 2024. I am revealing to you the power of prayer – hour by hour. I am proving to you that when you trust Me and seek Me with all your heart, storms weaken, laws are overturned. Why? Because the just shall live by belief. When you pray, you trust. When you trust, mountains are moved. Remember you don’t fight with people, your war is in the heavenlies against heavenly forces in high places. PRAY Church – Be that force! 

1 John 5:14-15 “This is the confidence that we have in our relationship with God: If we ask for anything in agreement with His will, He listens to us. If we know that He listens to whatever we ask, we know that we have received what we asked from Him.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 12, 2024. Allow Me and I will enter your presence, and you will enter My presence. Do not be afraid to be in My presence. There is much noise and movement when I enter a situation. Peace will come with that noise and movement, but the noise and movement is necessary to welcome Me into your situation. Welcome Me and the power that comes when I enter. You will never be disappointed with the outcome of My presence. 

Joshua 6:20 “So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.” Jonas Bohlin

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

When those around you need encouragement, take the time and make the effort to lift them up and make sure they know that you care. Sometimes it only takes a kind word to make a difference. It will cost you nothing, but could mean everything to someone you encounter. 

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, we should also be conformed to the Spirit.

October 11, 2024. You are not just a survivor…you are much more than that! Yes, you did and have survived but if you only see yourself as a survivor then you stay a “low lander”. I have made you to be a Hupernikos – an overwhelming conqueror, the highest victor! You are a “highlander” not a “lowlander”. You rise above, FAR ABOVE your circumstances. You are as a doe in the high places! Remember you are a Hupernikos today!

Psalm 18:33 “He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly or make progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble]; He sets me securely upon my high places.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 11, 2024. The Lord showed me a playground full of children. They were so happy. He said, “It’s time to laugh again. Sorrow and sadness no longer belong to you. It’s time to live again. I’m placing joy back into your life. Joy that is overflowing, laughter like you’ve never experienced before. It’s time to think like a child and let laughter flow out of you. Begin to giggle, and then just allow joy to overtake you.”

Romans 15:13 “May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your belief] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.” Pam Jackson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Perfect order brings perfect peace. Being out of order complicates every aspect of your being and doing. Take the time to recognize what you need to do to make changes that will not only simplify but fortify your life and purpose. And then, do it. You will be amazed by how small changes can make a big difference. 

1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

October 10, 2024. Now is not a time for rest. I will come to you in the night with strategies and songs – A song in the night! I have assigned you as a Watchman on the Wall. You know this to be true so submit to My assignments – many of which will come in the night. There will be a day for sleep and rest but it is not for you now oh Watch-man. Futures depend on you answering the call.

Isaiah 52:8 “The voice of the ones guarding you is exalted, and with the voice together they shall be glad. For eyes to eyes shall see when ever the Lord should show mercy on Zion.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 10, 2015. (Reposted)  You have a breakthrough coming today. Prepare your heart to receive and not resist. Doors that have stayed shut will quickly open now. Be sure that you pray diligently before you walk through. I will fill your heart with overflowing belief for the supernatural to manifest. Right before your eyes you will witness the unreasonable and far-fetched. Do not resist the great things. Today, you are beginning yet another segment of the incredible journey in life. Step up to the task and report for duty.

Psalm 3:8 “Victory comes from You, O LORD. May You bless Your people.” Ras Robinson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

There are things you can change and things you cannot change. Do not waste your time and energy on the impossible, but rather focus on what is possible and righteous. You can scream your head off, but if no one is listening, you might as well be silent. Prayer changes things. 

Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thoughts afar off, You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word of deceit on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

October 9, 2024. Calling all worshippers! Step up to the line and begin to war in your worship! Gone are the days of complacency and neglect. I am calling you to step out of your comfort zone and enter into the “sacrifice” of worship. I want you to stop caring about what others think. Your future and the future of those around you depends on it. Worship Me, outwardly, knowing that your outward worship will make a difference!

2 Samuel 6:14-15 “And David played music with instruments in accord in the presence of the Lord. And David was clothed in a special robe.So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 9, 2024. My people say, “This is the way we have always done it, this is how I have always been.” I say I am done with excuses, and I am ready for you to do it My way, to do what I tell you to do. Lay down your ways. Walk My way. My ways are perfect. My ways lead you into your destiny. No more excuses. Let’s walk in this together.

John 14:6 “Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.”

Proverbs 16:9 “All the works of the Lord are done with righteousness; and the unrighteous are kept for the evil day.”  Jennifer Peikert

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

There are things that you must forgive and forget in order to embrace the next leg of your journey. You must not get stuck in things that are trivial, but move on to embrace that which is consequential and necessary for spiritual growth. Never let your pride get in the way of holiness. 

1 Peter 1:14-16 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: Be holy, because I am holy.

October 8, 2024. You can sense in your spirit that things are beginning to line up. You are sensing the calm before the storm. Yes, I want you to follow peace, but I also want you to push through when times are hard. Do you not know that you have an enemy who is in all out “attack mode” against you? I want you in the correct place, at the correct time, in the correct order. Let Me take you there.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 “I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives; for time and chance will happen to them all.”   Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 8, 2024. I’ve seen your tears, and I know every fear you are having at this time. Today I say to you lift up your eyes and look to Me, because I hold the answers to everything that pertains to you. Fear can’t stay in My presence, anxiety has to go, depression has to go. Let Me be your comfort during this time, I bring perfect peace to you for every situation. I AM the Prince of Peace. Let MY peace cover you today. 

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” Pam Jackson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

You might find that you have been defeated, but you are not destroyed. Continue to press through difficulties of this time with consistency and strength of will. Stay within the confines of what is spiritually and morally correct, and rely on supernatural help to gain the victory, says the Lord. 

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

October 7, 2024. It’s time to “FIGHT-FIGHT-FIGHT!” There is a time for peace and a time for war! You are in a season of war. Just as Israel was attacked and went on the offensive you need to be on the offense as well. The enemy is pulling out all the stops. Now it is time to act. Stand up for what you believe and do as I have instructed you – the power to rise up is in you!

Ecclesiastes 3:1,7-8 “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven— A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; a time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.”  Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 7, 2024. You have before you a roadmap showing several routes ending in arrival at your destination. I caution you to seek Me before you begin your journey. Even though there are many routes that will lead you to the destination that I have for you, there is only one route I have prepared for you. If you will seek Me and follow the path I planned for you, you will discover My peace at all times.

Psalms 32:8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will l fix My eyes upon you.” Jonas Bohlin

The Trumpet by Bill Burns:

Come into belief. Forget the failures of the past, and remember who I am. Remember that I am yours and you are Mine. I will walk with you through this journey. I will lead and guide you. I will reveal Myself more fully to you. Come today with renewed hope. Come and believe. Come and receive, says the Lord. 

2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Reset! It is time to recognize the need to start over. Wipe the slate clean and begin again by getting your priorities in order and doing what is important for this season. Everything of the past has brought you to this point in your life. Take stock of what you want to take with you into the next phase of your existence and what you want to leave behind, and then do it. Be brave and resolute. 

Isaiah 50:7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed.

September 30, 2012.   (Reposted)  Has God ever bailed you out of a bad situation?  Has He saved you from death or danger? Let praise flow from your heart and life like a mighty river. Lift high His glorious name as you give Him thanks for all He has done for you. Someone has been healed of a major heart problem. Another person has been set free from an addictive habit. Your finances have been turned around from impending disaster to overflowing blessings. It is time to fill your heart with heavenly thoughts. Raise the level of your life by thinking on good things, especially those things God has already done for you. Confess and declare the greatness of your Lord and King.

Psalm 30:1-3 “I will exalt you, LORD, for You rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and you restored my health.  You brought me up from the grave, O LORD. You kept me from falling into the pit of hell.” Ras Robinson

September 30, 2012.  (Reposted)  Some things are over that have been taking a lot of time. You’re saying now what do I do? Take a little time for yourself. You have been giving of your time and energy by being a channel of blessings to others. You have given out of what I supplied and it was all you had to give. Now it’s time to rest. Now it’s time to recoup. Do something for yourself.  Give your mind another focus. When you do this it will recharge your mind, emotions and body. If you immediately get involved in something else it won’t be good. Rest and recharge and you’ll be ready to go again.

Hebrews 4:10-11 “For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.” Bev Robinson

September 30, 2012. (Reposted)  These are days of increased uncertainty where warfare seems constant. Battle readiness is important because you’re being bombarded from every possible angle in the natural. Just when you think you’re free and clear of the warfare, someone you know comes under attack too and is struggling big time. Satan and sin go together very well. Disassociate yourself from both Satan and sin. Watch out for those around you and cover each other’s back. Speak up and act accordingly when warning indicators scroll by. Make safety a serious priority. Do to others what you would want done to you. Be proactive with one another.

Hebrews 3:12-13 “Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.” Kevin Robinson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Count your blessings and be grateful. It is only by the grace of God that you can access His divine presence. Remember your first love, and His sacrifice that made eternal life available to you. Make your devotion to Jesus Christ your first priority every day. Only then will you truly prosper. 

Psalm 63:3-5 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

October 5, 2024. Fear has crept in your back door. You didn’t know it had come but now you know it’s here. There was a crack, a belief crack. Belief is the opposite of fear. So now you say, “What do I do?” I say child, use your belief! Kick out fear with belief. Fear has no hold on you. It only has the power you give it. For truly what you fear will come upon you and that is an assignment of the enemy. Use your belief!

Job 3:25 “For the fear which I thought about, came to me; and which I had in awe, met with me.”

Ephesians 6:16  “in addition to all, taking up the shield of belief with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 5, 2024. Your BIG breakthrough is imminent! You’ve heard Me say for many days that your breakthrough is coming. Well, you have stayed the course. You have believed Me. You have remained in belief. You have acted on your belief and now the evidence of your belief will be manifest. You have aligned yourself with Me and you WILL see My hand work on your behalf. There will be evidence of your miracle seen in your life very soon!

Habakkuk 2:3-4  “For the vision is yet for a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though He should tarry, wait for Him; for He will surely come, and will not tarry. If he should draw back, My soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by My belief.” Jonas Bohlin

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

When you are faced with a task that is out of your wheelhouse and beyond the realm of your expertise, do not hesitate to ask for help. You will not be diminished in any way except that your ego might be bruised a bit. These are days of reality and humility that will undoubtedly produce spiritual growth. 

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

October 4, 2024. Give, give and give again. Can you ever really give too much? I gave My most precious and valuable thing. My Son was given for your freedom, I want you to in turn give the precious. Is it your time, is it your space, is it your money, is it your resources? Ask that question today. You might say “I have nothing to give.” No one is ever at that point. Remember the woman who gave two mites.

Mark 12:41-45 “And He sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury. Many rich [people] were throwing in large sums. And a widow who was poverty-stricken came and put in two copper mites [the smallest of coins], which together make half of a cent. And He called His disciples [to Him] and said to them, Truly and surely I tell you, this widow, [she who is] poverty-stricken, has put in more than all those contributing to the treasury. For they all threw in out of their abundance; but she, out of her deep poverty, has put in everything that she had—[even] all she had on which to live.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 4, 2024. There are those around you who can become a distraction. The enemy will try to keep you in a state of distraction. If he can distract you, he will deceive you. If he can deceive you, he will manipulate your time and energy. Use your time wisely. There are those that are Truth seekers, give them My truth. Ask Me to show you those who want My truth. Trust Me to do the work.

Ephesians 5:15-16 “So be very careful how you live, not being like those with no understanding, but live honorably with true wisdom, for we are living in evil times. Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for His purposes.” Pam Jackson
