The Trumpet by Bill Burns: God has established the season and its boundaries. He will guide us and lead us and provide light for the journey. He will counsel us and protect us and provide for us if we connect ourselves to His purpose for us and make choices according to His will.
Hebrews 11:6 But without belief it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns: We are in a new year, a new cycle. It will be full of challenges and opportunities to put the Word of God into practice. We will have plenty of chances to succeed or to fail; to walk in the Spirit or live in the flesh. We will either grow because of our experience or we can give up. Every day is a new day; begin with a clean slate.
Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
January 5, 2013. (Reposted) There are some people with whom you have a problem. I know deep in your heart you wish you didn’t and you have tried not to but the fact is you do. Some you have almost constant thoughts about, and others the problems come to mind from time to time, especially when you are around them. In the spirit they pick this up and this is not good for you or for them. Record their names so no one else can see but you and I. Then give this totally to Me. Keep the list privately before you. Begin to think and speak blessings and pray for them. You can do this.
Ephesians 4:1-4 “Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one hope of your calling.” Bev Robinson
January 5, 2013. (Reposted) You have been sensing in a deeper way that love is to prevail because it never fails. It drives out all fear. Here is God’s key to having a happy and fulfilled life. It is simply to love your neighbor. This simple and easy thing makes God very happy – loving our neighbors. He probably feels like a mother who is filled with joy when all her children love each other. God can move mountains and do impossibilities when love is in the air. His word says the only debt that honors Him is when we pay that debt to love our neighbors. Make a list and check it twice. Love your brothers and sisters along with God’s whole family of neighbors.
Romans 13:8 “Owe nothing to anyone-except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.” Ras Robinson
