Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Refuse to allow past failures and regrets to create a state of condemnation and self-loathing. Today is a new day and a new opportunity to move forward and do the best you can right here and right now. You cannot change the past, but you can do your best with where you are today and with what you have to do.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Revelation 2
To the Assembly at Ephesus
To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write! Thus says the One holding the seven stars in His right hand, the One walking in the midst of the seven golden lamp stands. I know your works, and your toil, and your endurance, and that you are not able to bear evil ones; and you tested the ones calling themselves apostles, and are not, and found them liars; and you bore, and have endurance, because of My name, and you tired not. But I have against you, that the love of yours, the first, you have left. Remember then from what place you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works! But if not, I come to you quickly, and I will move your lamp stand from out of its place, unless you should repent. But this you have, that you detest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also detest. The one having an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies! To the one overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of My God.
To the Assembly at Smyrna
And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write! Thus says the First and the Last, Who became dead, and lived. I know your works, and affliction, and poorness, (but you are rich) and the blasphemy of the ones calling themselves to be Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear the things you are about to suffer! Behold indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you in prison, that you should be tested. And you shall have affliction ten days.Be trustworthy unto death! and I will give to you the crown of life. The one having an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies! The one overcoming, in no way should be injured by the second death.
To the Assemby at Pergamos
And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write! Thus says the One having the sharp double-edged broadsword. I know your works, and where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is; and you hold My name, and denied not the belief of Me in the days in which Antipas My trustworthy witness was, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have against you a little. That you have there ones holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw an obstacle before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit harlotry. So have also you ones holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner. Repent! But if not, I come to you quickly. And I shall wage war with them by the broadsword of My mouth. The one having an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies! To the one overcoming I shall give to him to eat from the manna being hid; and I will give to him a white small stone, and upon the small stone a new name being written, which no one knew except the one receiving.
To the Assembly of Thyatira
And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write! Thus says the Son of God, the One having His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet likened to fine brass. I know your works, and the love, and the belief, and the service, and your endurance, and your works — the last more than the first. But I have against you, that you allow your woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and misleads My bondmen to commit harlotry, and to eat things sacrificed to an idol. And I gave to her time that she should repent; and she anted not to repent from her harlotry. Behold, I throw her into a bed, and the ones committing adultery with her into great affliction, unless they should repent from her works. And I will kill her children by plague; and they shall know in all the assemblies that I am the One searching the kidneys and hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works. And to you I say, to the rest, to the ones in Thyatira, As many as have not this teaching, and the ones who knew not the deeps of Satan, as they say, I will not throw upon you another load. Only what you have, hold until of which ever time I shall come! And the one overcoming, and the one giving heed unto the end of My works, I will give to him authority over the nations. And he shall tend them with rod of iron, as the vessels made of clay shall be broken; as I also have received from My Father; and I will give to him the early morning star. The one having an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies!
August 7, 2024. I keep hearing the words restitution and reparation. Restitution means restoration of something lost or stolen. Reparation means making amends of a wrong done. I say today that I am restoring and amending what has been wrongly done. I see everything and know everything and justice will be served. If you don’t rush and demand and allow Me to move, the accounts will be settled.
Isaiah 43:19 “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
August 7, 2024. My yoke is easy and My burden is light. If you are feeling heavy and burdened, you are trying to do things on your own. Cast your cares on Me; I care for you so very much. I will give you rest and take you from being weighed down to being full of My peace that passes all understanding. Get ready, cast it all now. Throw Me your burdens. I’ve got this.
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Jennifer Peikert
