Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Refuse to drown yourself in sorrow. You cannot change what has happened or what you are going through, but you can access the peace that passes understanding. Put your trust in the truth of the Word of God, and begin by taking your first step into a new day of possibilities. Be strong and of good courage, says the lord. 

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

April 8, 2025. My father used to make this statement of belief, “Say it is so, when it is not so, because it is so, so that it will be so!” The Lord says, YES! This is My statement of belief as well. Speak into the atmosphere what I have shown you even if it is altogether untrue at the moment. This takes great belief, trust and courage. Let your words shape the foundation of belief – speaking even when there seems to be no evidence of change.

Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 8, 2025. It’s time to hone into My presence. It’s time to become a whetstone to be sharpened and to sharpen those around you. Who are your whetstones? Do they sharpen you to do better, to be better? Your circle matters. Are they directing you to the Father, or to themselves? When you talk about the Father to those around you, I will draw them to Me. You be My voice and say what I tell you to say.

Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend [to show rage or worthy purpose].” Pam Jackson

April 8, 2012. (Reposted)  I know you have an abundance of energy. You always have because this is the way I made you. You naturally enjoy playing and were taught to enjoy work at an early age.  All of this is good.  There is something you need to learn to keep enjoying them both. Learn to pace yourself. Listen to me closely and I will give you wisdom. Work, then play, then rest. This is a cycle of life that can be developed as long as one lives. This brings health to bodies, church bodies, businesses, organizations and most entities on earth. Pacing is a key to living life to the fullest. Learn from Me.

Proverbs 16:11 “The poise of the balance is righteousness with the Lord; and His works are righteous measures.”  Bev Robinson

April 8, 2012.   (Reposted)      From Genesis to Revelation I’ve noticed how the first thought, word, or action establishes a precedent for the remainder of the events that follow. The Lord says, “Just as I began the first chapter with the phrase ‘In the beginning’, and end the last chapter with the word, ‘Amen’. Will you allow Me to be the first thing you start with, and the last thing end with each and every day? “Amen” means you are in full agreement with what I have accomplished. Will you acknowledge Me at the beginning, throughout and at the close of all your days? Will you embrace Me in every aspect of your life?”

Revelation 22:12-13 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”  Kevin Robinson 

April 8, 2012. (Reposted)  A little disturbance occurred that troubled your heart. To you, it is big and important while to others it does not seem to matter. Get used to troubles like you are experiencing. Learn from each one the appropriate response to make in the common bond of peace. Over time, you will increase in your abilities to let some things rest without stirring them up further with a fleshly reaction. An apology for any part you played in this little disturbance would be the right thing to do. The Lord says, “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and others. I will exalt you and grow you up as needed. I do not condemn you. Rather, you are My chosen child. I love you.”

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”  Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Beating yourself up because you feel like you do not measure up will only serve to set you back spiritually. There is no upside to self-degradation. Begin to look at how far you have come and what you can do instead of what you cannot do. Remember that you can always rely on Me to help you through the rough patches. Do not be afraid. 

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

April 7, 2025. Lift up your heads that hang down. The Psalmist David wrote: “Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.” You all go through down times, but David had the answer – HOPE! He knew that he would once again praise Me, and his countenance would again be lifted! Remember I am your answer! 

Psalm 43:5  “Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my health and countenance and my God.”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 7, 2025. Things are not what they appear! You have seen some events that seem like disasters in your life recently, but those things are the lies of the enemy designed to distract you from the plan and purpose I have for you. Do not give in to the father of lies. His only weapons against you are deception and fear. Stand against his attempts to cause you to turn away from Me. I will never guide you wrong!

Revelation 12:9-10 “And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, ‘Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.’” Jonas Bohlin

April 7, 2012. (Reposted)  Stay the course. Stay on the path. Don’t be swayed by your surroundings. You seem to be going downhill from where you were headed and eventually where you want to go. What is happening is not a problem. There is just a dip from the level where you were. You are close to where you will bottom out. Be patient and walk in tight harmony with the others you are with. When you start back up to the level where you were, the horizon will soon appear and you will be able to see more clearly the goal line. You will finish together. Right now just keep walking in one accord.

Romans 15:5-7 “Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.” Bev Robinson

April 7, 2012.   (Reposted)      Stand firm in what you believe! You are going to be tested concerning what you know as truth. Trials will come at you from every possible angle in order to see what you are made of. This will be a gut check. Either you do or don’t have the intestinal fortitude to withstand the upcoming scrutiny. Now is not the time for compromise. There have been times in past when the testing like you will endure was not as crucial. My disciples stood strong against the strong winds that came against them. I have and will continue to strengthen you and sustain you in the days ahead.

James 1:12 “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”  Kevin Robinson 

April 7, 2012.  (Reposted)  Take your seat here beside Me. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father. He lives inside you to bless you with heavenly things. God has hidden you in Jesus. Where He is, you are. He has given you access to all the Father’s spiritual blessings. Be determined and diligent in collecting your inheritance. Holy Spirit is the executor of your estate. He says, claim your inheritance and sit down here beside the Father in Jesus. This is your first and greatest gift. You can live each and every day in His presence. He has the roads before you mapped and made safe. Do you lack wisdom in any area of your life? Just ask and I will respond if you believe and then act on your belief. Sit down and rest to enjoy your inheritance.

Ephesians 2:4-6 “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by favor you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”   Ras Robinson

The Trumpet by Bill Burns:

Get up from that place of doubt and unbelief. It is time to forget the hindrances that past failures have established. It is time for you to move forward again. The days before you will be filled with supernatural experiences. But, it is up to you as to whether or not you will respond in belief. Do not forget that every time you move with Me the glory gets brighter and the blessings are more abundant. 

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all with uncovered faces are reflecting the glory of the Lord, the same image being transformed from glory unto glory, just as from the Lord of Spirit.

Small Straws by Marsha Burns:

Even though the world seems to be filled with evil and hatred, you are not of the world. You have the ability to create an environment of love and respect. How you feel and what you do will make a difference in your atmosphere, and it is more propitious to do what is good and kind rather than what is selfish and defensive, says the Lord. Let My Spirit lead you. 

John 17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

April 6, 2012. (Reposted)  It hasn’t happened like you had hoped, but this is not the end of the situation. If you will just leave this with Me you will see that I am taking care of it. I know this will be hard to do. You are accustomed to being the one to whom people come. But do it anyway. I am showing My acts to those who doubt My involvement. And in fact doubt that I am anywhere, much less close to where they are. You have done what you can and this is good. Now be at rest and at peace knowing this is going to turn out very good.

Psalms 37:3-4 “Trust in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and be fed with the wealth of it. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.” Bev Robinson

April 6, 2012.   (Reposted)      You are the Body of Christ. Are you going around tearing down or building up? Would you mistreat your arm purposely because it mistakenly knocked something over? Furthermore, would you cut off your ear because it heard gossip or curse words? How then can you completely sever, separate, detach yourselves from one another? Could some have felt led to leave your church because their needs were not being met? Is your frustration with others caused from selfishness or others not completely agreeing with you? Some are type A, others type B. Others just C how you behave. Perhaps that’s why some avoid church. Love Me and My many members!

1 John 4:7-8 (NIV) “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”  Kevin Robinson 

April 6, 2012. (Reposted)  This is your day. Go ahead and rejoice in the Lord your God. I, as your God, have already seen ahead to this day and know that it will be a day of opportunity. What will you do with the opportunity? Some will waste this day in uncertainty and double mindedness. They will receive nothing from My hands. Their harvest and blessings will come from the ongoings of misdirected words and their ruler the devil. Not so with you if you keep choosing Me all day long. Ask to choose My will at each opportunity. You are a faithful person. And with your belief, you will move mountains today. Believe and trust Me.

Psalm 118:24 “This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Do not panic when you encounter unexpected circumstances that require your attention. Stay calm, and I will lead you through every situation with precision, says the Lord. These are days of complexity that are beyond ordinary, but I will give you the strength and ability to endure and overcome. 

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.

April 5, 2025. Your mind has become confused and even dazed. I want you to settle the chaos that rages in your mind. Put first things first. Begin your mornings in My Word and watch the Words of Life bring order to your mind. Your mind has been flooded with the “to dos” let your mind be flooded with the “real truths”. This will dispel the lies.

Psalm 143:8 “Each morning let me learn more about Your love because I trust You. I come to You in prayer, asking for Your guidance.” Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 5, 2025. My Spirit is your guide if you allow. Holy Spirit will teach you, lead you, and empower you. Why do you hesitate? There is much fruit to be produced in you whenever you allow Holy Spirit to guide you and empower you. Do not fear. I would NEVER lead you astray. No longer tarry between two opinions. Step into the wonderful life that is yours when you allow My Spirit to shape and direct in everything you do.

1 Kings 18:21 “Elijah came near to all the people and said, ‘How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.’ But the people did not answer him a word.” Jonas Bohlin

April 5, 2012. (Reposted)  A chance to begin again is before you. This new beginning is exciting.  You have been here more than once. New beginnings are good. My plan is for you to stay with this revisited endeavor until you reach your goal. In the past when it gets hard you stop. Don’t do that this time. It will always be hard on particular occasions. Think ahead and prepare yourself when the hard times come. Don’t let them slip up on you. I am your example: keep Me and how I overcame hardships to complete My goal. I have that same power available for you to rely on in overcoming hardships in reaching your goal.

Hebrews 12:1-2  “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of belief, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our belief. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.” Bev Robinson

April 5, 2012.   (Reposted)      Last night I needed to be reminded of a simple principle that I have often used, but forgot and needed a refresher course. While helping a close friend of mine work on an automobile issue he had labored with for several days, I asked the Lord for wisdom out loud. In an instant there was a breakthrough. We continued into the night trying to resolve further issues. Again and again, we asked and Holy Spirit delivered throughout the evening. Praise to my Heavenly Father! Working in tandem we finished the task in short order. The Lord says, “When you are having difficulty overcoming issues during each day, call upon Me.”

Luke 11:9-10 “So I say to you, ask and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.”    Kevin Robinson 

April 5, 2012.  (Reposted)  You have wondered at times if your efforts to live righteously have been falling on deaf ears in Heaven. Some choices to do the right thing have been costly in time, finances and suffering. But you have the feeling inside that all is well with your soul. I tell you to never doubt that I am taking note and rejoicing in your behavior because you do it with love for Me. Keep your motives pure and clean. Make sure you are seeking My face even more than that of the one you love the most on this earth. My presence surrounds you now. It will lead you into the paths of righteousness and the fruit of righteousness that so many never see. You are doing well. My love abounds toward you.

Psalm 5:12 “For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.”    Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Look back to remember where you have come from and evaluate your progression. This will give you a starting point in your forward development. It is important for you not to get lost in past events so that you can forge ahead with hope and courage. Renew your belief, and allow Me to be your Guide, says the Lord. 

Lamentations 3:22-23 Through the mercies of the Lord we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

April 4, 2025. Why do you continue to rehearse your failures? Don’t you know My mercies are new every morning? Therefore, each morning you get a FRESH START. Don’t think about the failures of the past. Let each morning bring hope for a new beginning. Don’t try to “stir up” the past. Start fresh and new each day with hope and joy. It’s a choice.

Philippians 3:13-15 “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. Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 4, 2025. Do you really know My voice? Are you allowing other voices to guide you? You are living in a time where I want you to lean into Me more than ever. Be quick to obey what I’m telling you to do. I need you to be ever diligent in listening to what I’m saying. Every day I will give you the wisdom and direction you need. Will you listen and do what I say?

John 8:47  “Whoever is of God listens to God. Those who belong to God hear the words of God. This is the reason that you do not listen to those words, to Me because you do not belong to God and are not of God or in harmony with Him.” Pam Jackson

April 4, 2012. (Reposted)  Keep an open mind to what you are being told about a change. Right now you can’t see the confusion, but nevertheless it is there. Look at this situation anew. Look at this from the stance of someone else, and you will see what is being said. You need to see the commotion this will cause, but it can be fixed. This is the reason I tell you to keep an open mind, and you can learn from this situation. Right now the whole thing is confusing. Don’t make a big deal out of what needs to be changed. But subtleties can be made that will make this situation much clearer.

Psalms 107:35 “He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;” Bev Robinson

April 4, 2012.   (Reposted)      Your pursuits toward things in the natural are a bit foolish. Though your desire for things apart from Me are common among all people. Are you as willing to spend as much time pursuing Me and the matters of My Kingdom as you spend in chasing earthly belongings? Spiritual things (not religious things) are far greater than the worldly hunt for the satisfaction of your soul. Establish diligence toward eternal issues more than your pursuit of short lived gratifications. Be as diligent in your love of Me, as you are in your quest for material things. I give rewards for your diligence in following Me. These blessed rewards will surely come.

Hebrews 6:10-12 “For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through belief and patience inherit the promises.”  Kevin Robinson 

April 4, 2012. (Reposted)  Storms blow in. Some only bring needed rain. Others bring much damage. But today, there are two tornados on the ground in the city where I live. My wife is at home and I am about an hour’s drive away. What to do? I have learned from Jesus that we have power over the storms of life and nature. He allows me to command the rain, wind and storms to protect those I love. He has never failed to respond. My son now rebukes hail and damaging winds. Sometimes we do it together. Today, I believe a tornado was averted from my home and my wife and others I love were protected. How could I not give glory and thanksgiving to God for such grace? Jesus is the Lord of the storms and He dwells within those who believe and follow Him. Let the storm blow. Our God is more powerful.

Matthew 8:24-26 “And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little belief?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.”  Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: When you are looking for a substantial breakthrough, remember that sometimes it is like the breaking of a dam that begins with a small leak and grows bigger as it develops. Be patient, and continue to stay alert to recognize the progress you are making. It will begin with a trickle and grow until the obstacles are completely washed away. 

Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

April 3, 2025. What are you willing to leave in order to follow Me? Jesus had to leave the security of His dwelling place. Andrew, James and John immediately left their profession and followed Jesus. The proud religious rich young ruler couldn’t leave his riches, but I tell you this! My promise of abundance is for those who forsake their desires and follow Me. What are you willing to leave in order to follow Me? 

Matthew 19:29 “And anyone and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for My name’s sake will receive many [even a hundred] times more and will inherit eternal life.”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 3, 2016.   (Reposted)   Walk under My blessings. Stay in the center of what I have said to you. Don’t wander to the right or left. Don’t get ahead and don’t lag behind. When you do this, blessings abound. You are in my favor so don’t think poorly of yourself in any way. Don’t run yourself down. Running yourself down and thinking about how bad it is, gets you out of belief. Believe that I always have the best for you. 

Hebrews 11:6 “And it is impossible to please God without belief. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.”   Bev Robinson

April 3, 2012. (Reposted)  Your thoughts are slowly turning to returning. This is a good thing not a bad thing. It is good to think ahead and be prepared, but don’t overthink…by spending too much time thinking. The time spent in thinking needs to be in prayer rather than in reasoning. Believe that whatever pops up, I have wisdom to give you and all the problems will be worked through. Think of the problems as challenges which can be overcome not as obstacles which cannot be overcome. Pray for the one who is questioning you. They are questioning because they have been questioned. All of this will be worked out and for everyone’s benefit.

Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and thoughts as you live in Christ Jesus.” Bev Robinson

April 3, 2012.   (Reposted)      Receive this admonition!  I want you to always be alert. Throughout My Word in the Old Testament or New Testament I have given, on numerous occasions, instruction for you to be ever ready. Be as watchmen on the wall. Be ever vigilant in prayer morning, noon, and night. Stand firm. Whether it is watching for the enemy and his camp or watching for My return, be on the alert. Act like men, whether male or female, be strong and sturdy. In the natural and the spiritual keep a keen ear and a watchful eye. Through dreams and/or visions, be on the alert. Keep your senses in tune with Mine.

Mark 13:37 “What I say to you I say to all, ‘Be on the alert!'”  Kevin Robinson 

April 3, 2012. (Reposted)  These are the days of seasonal change. Do not panic when new things emerge for what seems no reason at all. This season is full of surprises. But with the wisdom of the ages you will have insight and understanding. Those images that pop into your mind as possibilities are not to be dismissed. As you sleep, I will give clever and inventive revelations. Wait for them. Write them first in your heart and mind. Then record them for posterity. They are from Me. My fountain of grace is as an artesian well. It never stops flowing. This season before you now will set the pattern for the rest of your days. Step up to bat and hit the ball!

Hebrews 4:16 “Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of favor, so that we may receive mercy and find favor for opportune help.”  Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: You are entering unfamiliar territory, and you will feel a bit lost at first, but know that where you are going is higher and more meaningful to your spiritual growth. You must maintain your sense of balance as you progress so that your transition is well ordered. This is nothing to be afraid of. Move ahead in belief and assurance that I am with you, says the Lord. 

Psalm 56:3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in You.

April 2, 2025. Oh, that joyous day you were born. All of heaven shouted HALLELUJAH as you entered man’s realm. Don’t you know that all conception comes through Me. I open and close the womb. I knew you before you were even conceived. YOU ARE ETERNAL! Celebrate your birthday whether it is your birthday or not. Celebrate your existence and celebrate the plans I have for you. Celebrate your life and shun regret, putting it far away– CELEBRATE!!

Jeremiah 1:5a “Before I started to put you together in your mother, I knew you.”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 2, 2025. My Word is alive and actionable. It is experiential and it is life. Let My Word come alive in you today. Let My Word be actionable (let it do what I want it to do in you and through you). I want you to experience My Word to its fullest. Let it live in you. It will transform you and forever change you. Dig deep into My Word and let Me speak to you and transform you.

Hebrews 4:12 “For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Jennifer Peikert

April 2, 2012. (Reposted)  You have a choice. In your mind you’ve wondered if making this choice even matters. In the plans of life, will this small thing make a difference?  You can’t see that it will. There would not be a choice if it didn’t matter. Is this too small a thing to worry Me with?  This is not worrying Me. It is always good to seek My will even in the seemingly small things.  Directions that don’t seem to matter right now will grow into large events, and will make a big difference.  You will see in the near future this seemingly small thing deserves time to seek My will.  This will be big.

Zechariah 4:10 “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand. The seven lamps represent the seven eyes that search all around the world.”  Bev Robinson

April 2, 2012.   (Reposted)      Most of you have heard the phrase “birds of a feather, flock together.” Right? We read in the book of Proverbs about the contrast of wisdom and folly. The Lord says, “Become and stay equally united for the peace you long for and desire. Steer clear of those who incline themselves toward foolish behavior and attitudes. Seek wise counsel from Me and from those you see as wise. Find someone to whom you can be equally yoked and accountable, so you will be able to plow up fields that lay before you. I have given you My Spirit. Follow Holy Spirit and His guidance. Walk in love with one another.”

Philippians 2:1-2 “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”  Kevin Robinson 

April 2, 2013. (Reposted)  Today is a special day for you. It will not be like any other. God will tell you that today you are His son/daughter. Has He ever said that to you? He spoke this to Jesus. He has spoken it to me on various occasions. It is very humbling, but empowering and endearing. Once you say “Yes” to God about this, He gives you opportunity to ask for the nations just as did Jesus. God will surely give them to you as your inheritance even to the ends of the earth. Glory.

Psalm 2:7-8 “I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession.'”   Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Reach for Me, says the Lord, especially when you feel discombobulated. Quiet your soul so that you can evaluate what it is that is keeping you from inner peace. You may not be able to do anything to allay your discontent outwardly, but you have all power and authority over your thoughts and emotions. Find that place of stillness in yourself. 

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

April 1, 2025. My love for you is real; it is tangible. Close your eyes for a moment. Feel My comfort and My embrace. Look around you; look at nature. This was all made for your pleasure and your enjoyment. It is My love gift to you…the flowering plants, the blooming trees, the stars, the moon…all just for you. You are My treasured possessions. I never want you to feel isolated or alone again. I am with you and I love you!

Exodus 19:5 “Now if you hear My voice and obey Me fully and keep My covenant, then out of all nations you will be My treasured possession. Although the whole earth is Mine,”  Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 1, 2025. Just like a ship that has shifted off course, having to realign its navigation systems to get back on course, so have you shifted off course. All you have to do is shift your rudder back to Me. I am your navigation system. Allow Me to guide you. It’s that simple. I am here waiting. Set your focus back to Me; come back to your first love. It’s smooth sailing when I am the Captain of your heart.

Psalms 119:1-8 “You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow His directions, doing your best to find Him. That’s right – you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road He set. You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now You expect us to live it. Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course You set; Then I’d never have any regrets in comparing my life with Your counsel. I thank You for speaking straight from Your heart; I learn the pattern of Your righteous ways. I’m going to do what You tell me to do; don’t ever walk off and leave me.” Pam Jackson

April 1, 2012. (Reposted)  Thoughts have come to mind that too much good is happening. You wonder if this will soon come to an end. Corral those thoughts. Don’t allow them to remain in your mind or you will begin doing things that will reject the flow of good. Your mind is a powerful tool. Keep your thoughts in the realm of thankfulness.  You are My child and will receive an inheritance  which is  far beyond what your mind conceives. Don’t allow yourself to think anything but you and yours going from glory to glory. Yes there are obstacles, but the obstacles are there only to propel you on into My good plan for you.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 “For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),” Bev Robinson

April 1, 2012.   (Reposted)      My faithfulness endures the test of time. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. Just as I have been true to My Word to your forefathers, I will be true to you. I am fulfilling the promises I gave to Abraham, and I will do the same for you. My plans have been, are now, and will be accomplished. Through obedience to Me you experience the fullest form of faithfulness. Embrace Me and My Word. Hear Me succinctly. Heed My voice. Know Me and My Word in every chamber of your heart. Realize every aspect of My love, joy, peace and faithfulness. I AM that I AM.

Deuteronomy 32:4 “As for God, His works are true, and all His ways are judgment: God is faithful, and there is no unrighteousness in Him; just and holy is the Lord.“  Kevin Robinson 

April 1, 2012. (Reposted)  You are struggling still with what you consider to be one of the most important decisions of your life. There seems to be a fork in the path ahead. Two paths are open to you. Both have advantages. It is impossible to take both paths at the same time. You feel a necessity to choose one or the other. The Lord says, “Your main focus must first and foremost be that of Jesus when, by His life, He demonstrated no will of His own but to do the will of the Father in Heaven. As you do this, you will receive of the same favor and power that Jesus received. Ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking. Your answer is nigh. Take a deep breath and believe. What you hear, shout from the house tops.

Proverbs 3:6 “Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.”   Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: When you get overwhelmed with life and circumstances, take a breath. Seek My face, says the Lord. I am greater than any condemnation. I will lead you out of the darkness into the light of life, and liberate you from reproach. I am your strength and your shield. Lean on Me.  

Psalm 61:1-2 Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

March 31, 2025. There are things in the unseen world that are working on your behalf. In fact, My child, remember that the unseen is more powerful than the seen. I want you to embrace and live in the supernatural world. That realm is available to you NOW if you just believe. Begin to pull down the unseen from heavenly realms into the seen. I have given you the power and authority to do this. Begin to exercise your authority.

2 Corinthians 4:18 “as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”    Robin Robinson Bohlin

March 31, 2025. You heard it said that if March comes in like a lamb it will go out like a lion. My presence is both lamb and lion. There are times when My strength and power is necessary to carry out My plans. In those times I will come with boldness and power. There are also times when My peace and gentleness is what you require. Allow My power and strength along with peace and gentleness to lead you.

John 1:29 “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’” Jonas Bohlin

March 31, 2012. (Reposted)  A narrow gate is before you. You have wondered if this is the one for you. I am here to tell you…Yes! It is. This is the one. You passed it by seeing and thinking surely this gate and path is not the one. It is too narrow for me to walk. You have passed it several times without seriously considering it. Once you decide to walk it, you will see it is not confining at all in fact the boundaries are very freeing. It is up to you to decide to walk it. If you decide to do it you will not be alone. I will be guiding each step.

Matthew 7:13-14  “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Bev Robinson

March 31, 2012.   (Reposted)      A number of years ago a close friend of mine lost a child in an automobile accident. Another close friend went to visit them during their time of mourning. The one who lost their child said they were greatly ministered to by the one who came over to their home and didn’t say a word but just held their hand. The Lord says, “Just your quiet presence accompanied with empathy is all someone needs. Words can often cloud a difficult situation. You have felt My quiet presence in some of your darkest of days. I sent Holy Spirit as a comforter. Be a quiet witness of My peace and comfort.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”   Kevin Robinson 

March 31, 2012.  (Reposted)  A husband asks his wife, “Do you think I love you as much as I tell you that I do?” She answers, “Yes. I would never hurt you.” He replies, “If I ever thought you did not believe me, it would break my heart!” She smiles at her husband in a reassuring way. He is old now but his heart overflows with foolish love for his wife. He wonders if all that is in his heart could ever be believed. The Lord says, “My children love one another beyond feeling foolish. Most of My children cannot quite process the extent of My love for them. Let go of the brakes. Thrust forward. You will be so glad you did.”

Song of Songs 4:1 “You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead.”   Ras Robinson

The Trumpet by Bill Burns: The clarion call is to come up higher. You can do it because these are the days of elevation. Be done with low living, get out of the valley of despair, and come up to dwell in the house of the Lord. 

Philippians 3:13-14 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.

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: It is a foolish errand to be angry with God. Anger against the Lord is like rolling in the mud and then being angry about getting dirty. All we have to do is take responsibility for our own mess, and line up with the Word of God. 

Ephesians 4:26-27 Be angry, and do not sin; do not let the sun go down upon the provocation to your anger! nor give place to the devil! 

March 30, 2012. (Reposted)  I know you’re frustrated. This frustration is coming across to others as real anger. You don’t want that. Those involved will respond to the anger in an adverse way and not hear the important things you are saying. You have been dwelling on this for a long time and it has built up so much anger in you. It is like you are in a pressure cooker. I am the only One who can process your anger, because I know your heart. Pop off to Me. You need this until you can get it all in a logical thought out way where others can hear what you are saying. Act wisely and do this.

James 3:17 “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).” Bev Robinson

March 30, 2012.   (Reposted)      Lay aside the spirit of timidity. I did not give that particular spirit to you. Instead I have given My power and a complete mindset. For too long My Church has become comfortable within the walls of where they meet together. It is good to assemble together with other believers in worship. Likewise it is good to get out beyond yourselves and deliver My good news to a lost and dying generation. Your dependence cannot be not upon you. I am the one who brings conviction of sin. I need you to play an active role in sharing the new life I bring. The Spirit of the Lord is upon you.

Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion.”  Kevin Robinson 

March 30, 2012. (Reposted)  A most precious lady we once knew had the habit of covering her mouth when she spoke. She was not one who liked to draw attention to herself. But just the opposite was true. She was awkward and retiring from the presence of almost everyone who knew her. Her talents were remarkable in every way. We grew to love her deeply. Once I knew she believed that my wife and I really loved and accepted her, I asked her about her noticeable habit. She would never say one way another. She took all this to her premature death and grave. Without reference to our dear friend in any way, the Lord is saying, “If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, you may lay your hand over your mouth. But all you really need to do is confess your sin, receive your forgiveness and walk in total liberty and joy. Receive My favor.”

Proverbs 30:32 “If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay your hand upon your mouth.”   Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: If you will set your mind to understand what is happening in the spirit realm, you will discover clarity and strength of purpose. Everything will seem to have been simplified as opposed to the past few months of struggling to break through. Enjoy this season of purity, says the Lord. 

2 Samuel 22:33 It is the Mighty One who strengthens me with might, and has prepared my way without fault.

March 29, 2025. I want you to come against every imagination and every speculation, every fear and every anxiety, every reasoning and every assumption about your situation. These things are carnal and therefore I want you to submit your thoughts to Christ who is the author and finisher of your belief. He knows the end from the beginning and is your Brother! Let every thought become captured by Him and think only God’s thoughts about your situation.

2 Corinthians 10:5 “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

March 29, 2025. I am speaking to you. Can you hear? Come with Me to your quiet place where you can listen and let Me speak My Words to you. There have been times when you have heard My voice above the noise of your everyday life, but today I want to speak to you in the quiet of intimacy. Come away with Me and be prepared to hear Me like you’ve never heard Me before. Listen to My voice.

Matthew 6:6 “But you, whenever you should pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having locked your door, pray to your Father, to the One in the secret place; and your Father, the One seeing in the secret place shall recompense to you in the open!”    Jonas Bohlin

March 29, 2013. (Reposted)  There are relationships you have been concerned about even worrying to the point of losing sleep. You know worrying is not good for you and it doesn’t solve the problems in any way. Get all of these worrisome thoughts out of you. Record them so that not one of the little sneaks will be left to bother you. Now turn these worries into prayers, thanking Me for handling them all. Everything I do is to accomplish My purposes and bring about good for everyone. Precious one, trust Me.

Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”  Bev Robinson

March 29, 2012.   (Reposted)      What is the point? What is all the fuss all about? Is being right really worth all of the commotion, pain, and suffering? You know it shows real maturity not to prove you are correct, even if you are correct. Pride is such an arrogant approach to life. Who are you trying to convince here? It is time to change your stubborn, bull-headed mindset toward one which is gentle and kind. Who really enjoys being around someone who always has to be right? Meekness is a word seldom used anymore. The definition of meek is patient and mild. Today, try to put on a bit of meekness.

Philippians 2:3 “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.”   Kevin Robinson 

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Stop and take time to appreciate how far you have come. It has been a battle, but you have persevered. You may not realize your progress yet, but you have progressed nonetheless. Savor every moment of victory regardless of how small, knowing that I have brought you this far, says the Lord, and I am with you always. 

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 uphold you with My righteous right hand.

March 28, 2025. Perhaps you think you can’t do what I’ve told you to do; so do as Jesus did. It was for the future joy that He endured the cross. Look into the future and look at the good outcome. Hold on to your vision and be confident in what I’ve told you to do. If you don’t know that the instructions are from Me, ask a competent Godly source…not just one who will only agree with you. Press on warrior! 

Hebrews 12:2  “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our belief. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

March 28, 2025. Recently my grandson Magnus said to me, “I know when it’s almost my birthday because the trees get leaves again and flowers are everywhere.” Then the Lord said, “Just as I bring new growth every year to show My power and glory, I want to bring a newness to you every day, I want you to change into how I’ve made you, evolving and changing more and more into My image. Don’t become stagnant.”   

Matthew 24:32-35 “Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner. So it is with you: When you see all these things, you’ll know He’s at the door. Don’t take this lightly. I’m not just saying this for some future generation, but for all of you. This age continues until all these things take place. Sky and earth will wear out; My Words won’t wear out.” Pam Jackson

March 28, 2012. (Reposted)  Plans are in the making. Your plans will need to go on hold. I have plans that you need to get in touch with. You can do this if you are off of the throne. Place Me on the throne of your life. That is what being filled with the Spirit is all about. It feels strange to let go completely, but this is the best for you. You will be much happier in the long run. Surrender is not a bad thing. It is a good thing if that surrender is to Me. I have plans for you that if you knew them now they would be hard to believe.

1 Corinthians 2:8-12 “but just as it is written, “THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,” Bev Robinson

March 28, 2012.   (Reposted)      It is time for a big dose of tender loving care. Have you taken note of how callous you can be at times? Try and look at situations you are involved in from outside of the box. How would you feel if someone treated you the way you treat those around you? Would you be more attentive? Would you give the same snide remarks or look with disdain upon others? Everyone makes a mistake now and then. Be more supportive of others instead of being condescending. Stop being so self-righteous in regard to the way you handle your interpersonal relationships. Wear the fruit of the Spirit called kindness.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”   Kevin Robinson 

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Breakthrough is imminent. You have come a long way and have patiently waited for an opportunity to move ahead, and now is the time when the proverbial fog will clear and the sun will break through the clouds. You can now forge ahead with clarity of mind and renewed strength. A new day is dawning, says the Lord. 

Psalm 42:11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.

March 27, 2025. Slow down there “whipper snapper”. Why in such a hurry? Take your time and more importantly wait for My timing. Don’t you know that there is a time for everything? So many times you hear Me but miss the timing. Jesus knew exactly when and where to go to meet the Samaritan woman at the well. Because he was patiently waiting and listened intently to My instructions, a whole city came to salvation. Listen and be patient; slow down! 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every matter under the heavens:”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

March 27, 2012. (Reposted)  Mornings are a good time for you and Me to meet face to face. Other times of the day are fine as well. Our times together not only bless and quicken you but they benefit Me by the pleasures they bring. It means so much to Me that you have learned to visit Me face to face. Many of My children think they cannot seek My face. Others have unhealed relationships with their earthly fathers and, at times, project their hurts from him onto Me. I am a loving and healing Father beyond what you have experienced. Come to Me now. My arms are open. I love you so much.

Psalm 27:8 “When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O LORD, I shall seek.”  Ras Robinson

March 27, 2012. (Reposted)  You are out of touch with something important going on. You don’t know what to do about it. Right now it is bothering you. Get control of yourself. Be at peace. I have everything under control. Have belief in Me. You are tending to have belief in belief. That is misplaced belief. I always know what is best. I will always do the right thing for you and the other people involved. Their anxiety is picking up on your anxiety and now it is going round and round. You are close to chaos. Exhibit self – control. This is the fruit of My Spirit. Trust Me and be at complete rest.

Galatians 5:22-24 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, belief, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” Bev Robinson

March 27, 2012.   (Reposted)      What is the mark you wish to leave when you leave this life? What is your greatest pursuit? Is it fame, fortune or some other quest to establish your identity? Only you and I know the real answer. Your obituary or epitaph on your tombstone might really depict what sort of legacy you truly have left behind. Establish right now what really is most important in the scope of life. I walked an undeniable path of righteousness in My time upon the Earth. What path are you pursuing? Is the impact you are making temporal or eternal? Choose today whether you will serve Me or mammon. Establish righteousness in your walk.

Proverbs 22:1 “A sterling reputation is better than striking it rich; a gracious spirit is better than money in the bank.”   Kevin Robinson 

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Beloved, you are not a victim. You are victorious in all things when you rely on Me for direction and guidance. When you become one with Me, there is nothing that can overrule or take you down. I am with you and in you. I am your very present help in trouble, says the Lord. 

Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.  Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.  Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by His might. Pause. 

March 26, 2025. It is a good thing that you don’t want to disappoint people. But there are some who will take advantage of you. I want you to listen to Me and think about your future. Will your actions right now keep you in line with what I have called you to do? Pleasing Me is more important than pleasing man. A man pleasing spirit will lead you down wrong roads and wrong paths. Seek instead to please Me.

Galatians 1:10  “Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).”  Robin Robinson Bohlin

March 26, 2025. It is time. Time for you to arise and shine. Can you hear the ticking? I am waiting for you to let Me out in My fullness. Don’t hold Me in any longer. Don’t shrink back. Be courageous! I AM with you always. When I show you or tell you to do something I AM right there with you to accomplish it as you step out. Don’t be afraid, I AM with you!

Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine O Jerusalem; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.”

Joshua 1:9 “Haven’t I commanded you; be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Jennifer Peikert

March 26, 2012. (Reposted)  You are making the right choices. You have consistently insisted on doing the right thing, even in the face of opposition and with many of those around you making poor choices. They don’t care what others are going through, but you see and care. This gives Me great pleasure. I know what you have been up against and I am so proud of you. Some others don’t see what they are doing… how they are not caring. Some will see you as an example and change some of their ways. Keep making right choices and doing the right thing. Your actions and the changed actions of others will change the atmosphere.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10. “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”  Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.”  Bev Robinson

March 26, 2012.  (Reposted)  You have little to no idea how precious you are to Me. I think of you all the time. You are never out of My sight because I will not let harm nor your enemies attack you. More and more I am looking to reveal My goodness and kindness to you. Both flow through you like a sieve to others around you. You could not even count the number of people who have looked and who look for guidance and restoration through what they see and sense through you. You are in a phase of your life now where you are out of control. It is now as it should be. You have made Me your Lord and have stepped down from the throne of your life. You are My precious one.

Psalm 36:7-9 “How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of Your wings. You feed them from the abundance of Your own house, letting them drink from Your river of delights.  For You are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.”  Ras Robinson
