The Trumpet by Bill Burns: The clarion call is to come up higher. You can do it because these are the days of elevation. Be done with low living, get out of the valley of despair, and come up to dwell in the house of the Lord.
Philippians 3:13-14 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, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Small Straws by Marsha Burns: It is a foolish errand to be angry with God. Anger against the Lord is like rolling in the mud and then being angry about getting dirty. All we have to do is take responsibility for our own mess, and line up with the Word of God.
Ephesians 4:26-27 Be angry, and do not sin; do not let the sun go down upon the provocation to your anger! nor give place to the devil!
March 30, 2012. (Reposted) I know you’re frustrated. This frustration is coming across to others as real anger. You don’t want that. Those involved will respond to the anger in an adverse way and not hear the important things you are saying. You have been dwelling on this for a long time and it has built up so much anger in you. It is like you are in a pressure cooker. I am the only One who can process your anger, because I know your heart. Pop off to Me. You need this until you can get it all in a logical thought out way where others can hear what you are saying. Act wisely and do this.
James 3:17 “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).” Bev Robinson
March 30, 2012. (Reposted) Lay aside the spirit of timidity. I did not give that particular spirit to you. Instead I have given My power and a complete mindset. For too long My Church has become comfortable within the walls of where they meet together. It is good to assemble together with other believers in worship. Likewise it is good to get out beyond yourselves and deliver My good news to a lost and dying generation. Your dependence cannot be not upon you. I am the one who brings conviction of sin. I need you to play an active role in sharing the new life I bring. The Spirit of the Lord is upon you.

March 30, 2012. (Reposted) A most precious lady we once knew had the habit of covering her mouth when she spoke. She was not one who liked to draw attention to herself. But just the opposite was true. She was awkward and retiring from the presence of almost everyone who knew her. Her talents were remarkable in every way. We grew to love her deeply. Once I knew she believed that my wife and I really loved and accepted her, I asked her about her noticeable habit. She would never say one way another. She took all this to her premature death and grave. Without reference to our dear friend in any way, the Lord is saying, “If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, you may lay your hand over your mouth. But all you really need to do is confess your sin, receive your forgiveness and walk in total liberty and joy. Receive My favor.”
Proverbs 30:32 “If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay your hand upon your mouth.” Ras Robinson
