Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
This is a time when you must rest and be restored. Rise up in the Spirit and access the substance of rejuvenation and receive it by faith. Everything you need to be refreshed and renewed is within your grasp. This is a new day, and you have the ability to reset and begin again.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
1 John 3:1-24
Be Imitators of Christ
Behold! what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. On account of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God and not yet was it manifested what we will be; but we know that if He should be manifested, we will be likened to Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every one having this hope upon Him, purifies himself, as that One is pure. Every one committing sin, also commits lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. And you know that that One was made manifest, that He should lift away our sins; and sin is not in Him. Anyone abiding in Him, does not sin; anyone sinning has not seen Him nor has known Him. Sons, let no one mislead you! The one executing the righteousness is righteous, as that One is righteous. The one committing sin is of the devil, for from the beginning the devil sins. For this the Son of God was made manifest, that He should loosen the works of the devil. Anyone engendered of God, does not commit sin, for His seed abides in him; and he is not able to sin, because he has been engendered by God.
Love the Brethren
In this the children of God are apparent and the children of the devil. Every one not executing righteousness is not of God, even the one not loving his brother. For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain who was of the wicked one and slew his brother. And for what favor did he slay him? because his works were wicked, but the ones of his brother righteous. Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world detests you! We know that we have crossed over from death into life, for we love the brethren. The one not loving the brethren, abides in death. Every one detesting his brother is a man-killer; and you know that every man-killer does not have life eternal abiding in him. By this we have known the love of God, because that One placed His life for us; and we ought to place our lives for the brethren. But who ever should have the livelihood of the world and should view his brother having need and should lock up his feelings of compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My sons, we should not love in word nor tongue, but in work and truth. And in this we know that we are of the truth and before Him we shall yield our hearts. For if our heart should condemn, know that God is greater than our heart and He knows all things. Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence before God. And what ever we should ask, we receive from Him, for His Commandments we keep and the things pleasing before Him we do. And this is His Commandment — that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and we should love one another, as He gave Commandment. And the one keeping His Commandments abides in Him and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave to us.
May 8, 2024. Some of you have aches and pains especially in the bones. Nothing that the medical profession is doing seems to help. Today, I want you to examine yourself and see if you have any type of unforgiveness, bitterness or resentment. A root of bitterness will defile you and sin sets in. Begin today to release those who have hurt you, do not dwell on the past and begin to watch your bones flourish. I love you and want you whole.
Psalm 109:18 “But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment and it entered into his body like water and like oil into his bones.”
Proverbs 3:7-8 “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from all evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
May 8, 2024. I am giving you the desires of your heart as you take delight in Me. I have placed the desires in you so that I can give them to you. Many have wondered why you desire the things you do. I say to you, I have placed them there and it is time for their fulfillment. Take delight in Me and watch Me do this. Delight in Me and I will do it.
Psalms 37:4 “Take delight in the Lord and He will give you your heart’s desire.” Jennifer Peikert
