SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND BY MARSHA BURNS:
This time of transition is nearing a close, and you will begin to settle into the new cycle. It might resemble where you have been, but there will be things of the past that will fade away and a sense of renewal will be evident. For some it will seem like never-ending upheaval like a storm passing through and for others it will be like a gentle breeze. Keep your spiritual focus either way.
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.
October 25, 2023. You are feeling attacked and criticized by someone. It is real to you even if others do not acknowledge this. Their behavior has become stronger and you feel pushed into a corner. They want you to respond. I say to you; this person has issues that you might never understand. Release them to Me and bless them. Step away from the situation and let Me handle it. I know exactly what is going on – you stay in peace.
Romans 12:14 “Speak blessing, not cursing, over those who reject and persecute you.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
October 25, 2023. I say to you, do not worry about tomorrow. Do not worry about what is going on in the world. Cast worry off and pray. Decree My Word over and into the world. Decree My Word over and into the government. Say what I say, not what you see with your natural eyes or hear with your natural ears. You will inherit the earth. I say to you, be in peace.
Psalms 37:9,11 “For evildoers shall be utterly destroyed; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. – But the meek shall inherit the earth and they shall revel over an abundance of peace.” Jennifer Peikert
October 26, 2023. You may be in a time of temptation. My Son endured all of the temptations known to man and overcame every one of them. He is your older brother and carries the compassion needed to help you overcome sin. He was sinless so you could be sinless. He overcame temptation so you could overcome temptation. You CAN break out of the cycles – turn to Him and He will compassionately help you! He is your brother guide.
Hebrews 4:15-16 “For our high priest is able to understand our weaknesses. He was tempted in every way that we are, but He did not sin. Let us, then, feel very sure that we can come before God’s throne where there is favor. There we can receive mercy and favor to help us when we need it.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
October 26, 2023. Often, we measure our sufferings by length of time, as if the longer we suffer, the greater our reward. I say unto you today, lay your sufferings down at My feet and look to Me instead of your calendar. Focus on the here and now of MY presence. I am greater than anything you suffer. I am worthy of all your worship even in your greatest trial. Let Me prove to you How great I am and show you My delivering power. You will rejoice at My goodness and see the salvation of My hand.
Mark 5:38-43 “They come to the house of the synagogue leader. He sees a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. After entering, He said to them, ‘Why make such a fuss and weep? The child didn’t die but is sleeping.’ They start jeering at Him. But after sending all of them out, He takes the child’s father and mother and those with Him and enters where the child was. Then, taking hold of the child’s hand, He tells her, ‘Talitha koum’, which means, ‘Little girl, I say to you, get up.’ Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around! (She was twelve years old.) And they were overcome with astonishment. But He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this and He said something to eat should be given to her.” Budd Rodgers
