Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
You can expect your life to smooth out and not be as hectic as it has been. You will find simple solutions to difficult problems and be able to carry out assignments that have seemed to be beyond your ability handle. I have indeed gone before you to make crooked places straight, says the Lord.
Isaiah 45:2-3 I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
Revelation 18
Babylon is Fallen
And after these things I saw another angel descending from the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was enlightened from his glory. And he cried out in strength of voice, saying, Is fallen, is fallen, Babylon the great, and is become home of daimons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and detested bird. For of the rage of the wine of her harlotry all the nations are given to drink; and the kings of the earth committed harlotry with her; and the merchants of the earth were enriched of the power of her indulgence. And I heard another voice from out of the heaven, saying, Come forth from out of her, My people! that you should not partake together with her sins; and that you should not receive of her calamities. For her sins cleaved as far as the heaven, and God remembered of her her offences. Render to her as also she rendered to you, and double up to her double according to her works! In the cup which she mixed, you mix to her double! So much as she glorified herself, and lived indulgently, so for that much you give to her torment and mourning! For in her heart she says that, I sit a queen, and I am not widow, and in no way shall I see mourning. On account of this in one day shall come her calamities —death, and mourning, and hunger. And she shall be incinerated by fire, for the Lord God is strong, the one judging her. And the kings of the earth shall weep for her and beat their chests over her, the ones committing harlotry with her, and living indulgently, whenever they should see the smoke of her burning fire, standing from far off on account of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe to the great city, Babylon, the strong city, for in one hour Your judgment came. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any longer; merchandise of gold, and of silver, and of precious stones, and of pearl, and of linen, and of purple goods, and of silk, and of scarlet goods, and all wood of thyine, and every item of ivory, and every item of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble, and cinnamon, and incenses, and perfumed liquid, and frankincense, and wine, and olive oil, and fine flour, and grain, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and coaches, and bodies, and souls of men. And the autumn fruits of the desire of your soul are departed from you; and all the lustrous things, and the bright things are destroyed from you, and no longer in any way shall you find them. The merchants of these things, the ones who enriched from her, shall stand from far off because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, and saying, Woe, woe to the great city, the one wearing fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and being gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls. For in one hour was so great a wealth made desolate. And every navigator, and all upon the boats sailing, and seamen, and as many as work the sea stood from far off, and crying out seeing the smoke of her burning fire, saying, What is likened to the great city? And they threw dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, Woe, woe the great city, in which were enriched all the ones having the ships in the sea from her valuables, that in one hour she was made desolate. Be glad over her, O heaven, and the holy ones, and the apostles, and the prophets! for God judged your case against her. And one strong angel lifted a stone as a great millstone, and cast it in the sea, saying, Thus with impulse shall Babylon the great city be thrown and in no way shall be found any more. And a sound of harpists, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, in no way shall be heard in you any more; and every craftsman of every craft in no way shall be found in you any more; and the sound of a millstone in no way shall be heard in you any more; and the light of a lamp in no way shall shine in you any more; and the voice of the groom and bride in no way shall be heard in you any more. For your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorcery all the nations were misled. And in her the blood of prophets and holy ones was found, and of all the ones being slain upon the earth.

You have thought that by holding on, things would remain the same. In actuality, you have kept Me from moving in a mighty way. I have so much more for you – more than your mind can imagine. Release and receive My new for you!

August 23, 2024. As deep calls to deep, I am calling you to come deeper with Me. I’m calling you to a place that will be unfamiliar at first but IF you will stay with Me it will become a place of desire, a place of deeper intimacy that you’ve never had before. In this place you will find everything you need. Deeper revelations, and a new hunger for My presence. It’s time to draw from a deeper well.
1 Corinthians 2:10-13 “The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God—except that He not only knows what He’s thinking, but He lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that He is giving us. We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn’t learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.” Pam Jackson
