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 — the life eternal. These things I wrote to you concerning the ones misleading you. And you — 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 “lit” by My fire. The unquenchable fire that brings joy everlasting. From this point on your focus will be purified – no more looking back – no more regret. Know that I have come with a cleansing wave – removing all hindrances and obstacles. Now you’re on the path of wholeness and restoration. All the years that have been stolen will be paid back to you now.

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 can’t hear MY voice but in reality You do hear MY voice. It is the distraction of “other” voices that have caused you to doubt. Even if you aren’t 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 “and 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.”
Revelation 1:15 “His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of rushing waters.” Budd Rodgers
