The Trumpet by Bill Burns:
The Holy Spirit gives gifts to us to empower us. If we live in the Spirit, His gifts will work in and through us, and will produce His fruit.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
Be alert and pay attention to the small things. Knowing the details will make all the difference at this time and can be extremely important to the outcome of situations you encounter. Exercise your discernment so that you can avoid costly mistakes. Know that I am with you to take you in the right direction, says the Lord.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Zechariah 1
The Word to Zechariah
In the eighth month, of the second year unto Darius, came to pass the Word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet, saying, The LORD was provoked to anger by your fathers — a great anger. And you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD of the forces, Turn to Me, says the LORD of the forces! and I shall be turned towards you, says the LORD of the forces. And do not become as your fathers! ones whom the prophets accused them, the ones beforehand saying, Thus says the LORD of the forces, Turn from your wicked ways and from your wicked practices! And they did not listen and did not take heed to listen to Me, says the LORD. Your fathers, where are they and the prophets, Shall they live into the eon? Furthermore do you receive My Words and My laws, as many as I give charge by My Spirit to My servants the prophets, the ones overtaking your fathers? And they answered and said, As the LORD of the forces deployed to do to us according to our ways and according to our practices, so He did to us.
Vision of the Four Horses
On the twentieth fourth day in the eleventh month, this is the month Shebat, in the second year unto Darius, came to pass the Word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet, saying, I saw the night and behold, a man having mounted a reddish horse and this one stood in the midst of the shady mountains; and behind him reddish horses and white and spotted. And I said, What are these, O lord? And the angel said to me, the one speaking to me, I will show to you what these are. And the man answered, the one standing in the midst of the mountains and he said to me, These are whom the LORD sent out to travel about the earth. And they answered to the angel of the LORD standing in the midst the mountains and they said, We have traveled about the earth and behold, all the earth is inhabited and tranquil. And the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of the forces, until when shall You in no way show mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, in which You were enraged over this seventieth year? And the LORD responded to the angel, the one speaking with me with good sayings and comforting Words. And the angel speaking with me said to me, Shout aloud! saying, Thus says the LORD almighty; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal. And I am provoked with great anger by the nations, the ones joining in making an attack; because I indeed was provoked to anger a little, but they joined in making an attack for evils. On account of this, thus says the LORD, I will turn towards Jerusalem for compassion; and My house shall be rebuilt in it, says the LORD of the forces and a measure shall be stretched out upon Jerusalem. Shout aloud again! saying, Thus says the LORD of the of the forces; Yet shall cities be dispersed for good things and the LORD shall show mercy still on Zion and shall select still Jerusalem.
Vision of the Four Horns
And I lifted my eyes and I looked and behold, four horns. And I said to the angel, the one speaking with me, What are these, O lord? And he said to me, These are the horns, the ones scattering Judah and Israel and Jerusalem. And the LORD showed to me four fabricators. And I said, What are these come to do? And He said to me, saying, These are the horns, the ones having scattered Judah and they broke Israel and not one of them lifted his head. And these are come forth to sharpen them in their hands — the four horns are nations lifting up their horn against the land of the LORD to scatter it.
