THE TRUMPET by Bill Burns:

The spiritual season that we are entering into will bring restoration. Restoration will bring healing of the body, soul, and spirit. Healing will bring  joy, peace, and strength. The sum of these  things will bring a state of personal revival. Do  not miss the opportunity of this season of  blessings.

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Many of you are exhausted from a relentless  onslaught that kept you from thriving. You must  come away from all the noise and seek solace in  My presence, says the Lord. Come and be revived and rejuvenated, and be at peace.

1 Peter 3:11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

Zechariah 8 

And came to pass the Word of the LORD almighty, saying, Thus says the LORD almighty, I have been zealous for Jerusalem and with a great zeal; even with great rage I have been zealous over her. Thus says the LORD, I will return unto Zion and I will encamp in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem will be called the true city and the mountain of the LORD almighty, the holy mountain. Thus says the LORD almighty, Yet older men and older women shall sit down in the squares of Jerusalem, each having his cane in his hand because of a multitude of days. And the squares of the city shall be filled with boys and girls playing in her squares. Thus says the LORD almighty, Shall it be impossible in the presence of the remnant of this people in those days, no. Shall it be impossible also before Me, says the LORD almighty, no. Thus says the LORD almighty, Behold, I shall deliver My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west. And I will bring them and they will encamp in the midst of Jerusalem; and they will be to Me for a people and I will be to them for God, in truth and in righteousness. Thus says the LORD almighty, Strengthen your hands, O ones hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, from which day the house of the LORD almighty was founded and from which day the temple was built. For before those days the wage of men will not be for profitability and the wage of the cattle does not exist. And to the one going forth and to the one entering there will be no peace because of the affliction. And I shall send out all the men, each against his neighbor. And now, not according to the days prior will I do to the remnant of this people, says the LORD almighty, but I will show peace. The grapevine shall give her fruit and the earth will give her produce and the heaven will give its dew; and I will allot to the remnants of My people all these things. And it will be in which manner you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and O house of Israel; so shall I preserve you and you will be a blessing. Be of courage and grow strong in your hands! For thus says the LORD almighty, In which manner I consider to inflict evil on you in your fathers provoking Me to anger, says the LORD almighty and I did not change My mind. So I was deployed and have considered in these days to do well for Jerusalem and the house of Judah — be of courage! These are the matters which you shall do. Let each speak truth to his neighbor, and peaceable judgment and judge righteously at your gates! And let each not consider evil against his neighbor in your hearts! And do not love a lying oath! For all these things I detested, says the LORD almighty. And came to pass the Word of the LORD almighty to me, saying, Thus says the LORD almighty, Fasting on the fourth month and fasting on the fifth and fasting on the seventh and fasting on the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah for joy and gladness and for good holiday feasts; and you shall be glad and love truth and peace. Thus says the LORD almighty, Still there shall come many peoples and dwelling many cities. And shall come together ones dwelling cities to one city, saying, We should go to beseech the face of the LORD and to seek after the face of the LORD almighty — even I shall go. And there shall come many peoples and many nations to seek after the face of the LORD almighty in Jerusalem and to atone in front of the LORD. Thus says the LORD almighty, In those days ten men shall take hold of ones of all the languages of nations. And they shall take hold of the decorative hem of a Jewish man, saying, We shall go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.

You are on the cusp of making decisions that will alter your life in dramatic ways. Take your time and be sure that what you are planning will be in your best interest in the long run. This time in your life is pivotal and can either be of great benefit or potential disaster. Position yourself to be led by My Spirit, says the Lord. 

Psalm 32:8 I will bring understanding to you and I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will stay My eyes upon you.

Zechariah 7

Obedience is Better than Fasting
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, the Word of the LORD came to Zechariah the fourth of the ninth month, which is Chisleu. And Sherezar sent to Beth-el and Regem the king and his men, to atone the LORD, saying to the priests in the house of the LORD almighty and to the prophets, saying, The sanctified offering has entered here in the fifth month, as it did already a fit number of years. And came to pass the Word of the LORD of the forces to me, saying, Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, If you should fast or beat your chest in the fifth or in the seventh months and behold, for seventy years by fasting, have you fasted to Me? And if you should eat or should drink, do you not eat and drink to yourselves? Are these not My words, which the LORD spoke by the hands of the prophets, of the ones before, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prospering? and her cities round about and the mountainous area and the plain was inhabited?

The LORD Requires Justice and Mercy
And came to pass the Word of the LORD to Zechariah, saying, Thus says the LORD almighty, saying, A just judgment you shall judge and let each execute mercy and compassion towards his brother! And tyrannize not the widow and orphan and foreigner and needy! and let each not resent the hurt of his brother in your hearts! And they resisted to take heed and they gave their backside ranting and pressed their ears to not listen and their heart was ordered for resisting persuasion, to not listen to My law and the Words which the LORD almighty sent out by His Spirit, by the hands of the prophets, of the ones before. And there was great anger by the LORD almighty. And it will be in which manner I spoke and they did not listen to him, so they shall cry out and in no way shall I listen, says the LORD almighty. And I will cast them into all the nations which they did not know. And the land shall be obliterated after them from traveling and from returning through it. Yes, they ordered up the choice land for extinction. 

June 1, 2024. Open your mouth and I will fill it! Turn your face to heaven and let the gentle rains fill your mouth and satisfy you. I will withhold no good thing from you. Prosperity and wealth are yours because you have been steadfast and you have been sowing into My Kingdom. Receive My abundance and dance with joy because of the MORE that is coming. You are fruitful and about to become ABUNDANTLY fruitful.

2 Corinthians 9:8 “God can bless you with everything you need and you will always have more than enough to do all kinds of good things for others.”Robin Robinson Bohlin 

June 1, 2024. This is a day that I created for you. I am not bound by time or space, so this new day is made for your benefit. Yes, there have been days in which you failed to live up to all that I have provided for you. However, today you have moved beyond those failures. I have made you a new person with new desires and new resolve. Allow Me to make all things new in your life.

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” Jonas Bohlin

Things that have had you tied up in knots will finally unravel and you will know more completely where you are in the scheme of things and how you fit with your environment. I will release a sense of relief and comfort as you step out in new emotional and mental territory. This is a new day.

Vision of the Four Chariots and Horses
And I turned and lifted my eyes; and I beheld and behold, four chariots going forth from out of the midst of two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. With the first chariot reddish horses; and with the second chariot black horses; and with the third chariot white horses; and with the fourth chariot spotted horses and dapple-gray. And I answered and said to the angel, the one speaking with me, What are these, O lord? And the angel answered, the one speaking with me. And he said, These are the four winds of the heaven and they go forth to stand beside the Lord of all the earth, with which were the black — horses they went forth upon the land of the north; and the white — they went forth after them; and the spotted — they went forth upon the land of the south and dapple-gray — they went forth and they looked to travel about the earth. And he said, Go and travel about the earth! And they traveled about the earth. And he yelled out and spoke to me, saying Behold, the ones going forth upon the land of the north caused rest for My rage in the land of the north. And came to pass the Word of the LORD to me, saying, Take the ones of the captivity from the rulers and from its profitable ones, and from the ones recognizing it! And you shall enter in that day, into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, the one having come from out of Babylon.

A Crown for Joshua the Priest
And you shall take silver and gold and you shall make crowns and you shall place upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech the great priest. And you shall say to him, Thus says the LORD almighty, Behold, a male, Rising is his name; and from beneath him he shall rise and shall build the house of the LORD. And he shall receive virtue and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest at his right. And peaceable counsel will be between both. But the crown will be to the ones waiting, and to the ones profitable of her and to the ones recognizing her and for the favor of the son of Zephaniah, and for in the house of the LORD. And the ones far from them shall come and they shall build in the house of the LORD. And you shall know that the LORD almighty has sent me to you; and it will be as if ones listening should have listened to the voice of the LORD your God. 

May 31, 2024. My sweet precious one, My darling, the apple of My eye. Do not be in despair or be discouraged. Receive My hope today. Let My healing presence enter your wounded soul. Your pain has not gone unnoticed; when you are in pain, it pains Me. Let Me take you by the hand and let’s run in fields of lavender…this is heaven on earth. Expand your mind to My realm where there is no sadness and you will feel better.

Isaiah 51:3 “For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places and has made her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 31, 2024. I was listening to a song and some of the lyrics were “Look at the stars, look how they shine for you….” Immediately, I heard the Lord say, Just as I created the stars to shine, I created you to shine. I’ve called you to shine as bright as the stars. It’s time to shine like never before. What was a flicker will become a beam of My light shining in you. It’s time to shine My child.

Daniel 12:3 “Those who are [spiritually] wise will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness, [will shine] like the stars forever and ever.”  Pam Jackson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Even though your breakthrough is not necessarily what you wanted or expected, it is a new beginning. What is behind you is in the past, and you will have opportunities to forge ahead in unexpected ways. Continue on with the understanding that I will never leave you nor forsake you, says the Lord. Be strong and unwavering. 

Hebrews 13:5-6 Let not loving money be the manner, but being sufficient with the things at hand. For  He has said, In no way will I forsake you, nor in no way will I abandon you. So that taking courage we say, The Lord is a helper to me and I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me? 

Zechariah 5

The Vision of the Flying Sickle
And I turned and I lifted my eyes and I saw and behold, a sickle flying. And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a sickle flying, the length — twenty cubits and the width — ten cubits. And he said to me, This is the curse, the one going forth upon the face of all the earth; for every thief of this one side shall be punished unto death and every perjurer of this other side shall be punished unto death. And I will bring it forth, says the LORD almighty and it shall enter into the house of the thief and into the house of the one swearing an oath by My name for a lie; and it shall rest in the midst of his house and it shall finish it off entirely, even its wood and its stones.

The Measure Basket and the Woman
And came forth the angel, the one speaking to me and he said to me, Look up with your eyes and behold what this is going forth! And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure basket going forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth. And behold, a talent of lead was being lifted away; and behold, one woman sat down in the midst of the measure basket. And he said, This is lawlessness. And he tossed it into the midst of the measure basket and he tossed the stone of lead into her mouth. And I lifted my eyes and I saw and behold, two women going forth and the wind was in their wings and these had wings as wings of the hoopoe bird (or stork); and they took up the measure basket between the earth and the heaven. And I said to the angel, the one speaking with me, Where are these carrying the measure basket? And he said to me, They build for it a house in the land of Babylon and to prepare. And they shall put it there upon its preparation place. (Definition added)

May 30, 2024. Comparison will “do you in” every time. I have made you, uniquely you. How then can you be compared with anyone else? Each person has a special skill set that only they are responsible for. Be your best self. Experience life every day to the fullest…carpe diem. Let Me be your standard of excellence – this way no human being will enter the scene causing comparison. Remember, you please Me, I am your plumb line.

Romans 12:1 “Then I exhort you, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies living sacrifices, holy, well-pleasing to God, the rational service of yours.”Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 30, 2024. In life, we learn early there are right ways, wrong ways, hard and easy ways, multiple ways and only one way. I heard the Lord say, it is best that you learn “MY ways. It is always the best way. Although New Years has come and gone, it is not too late to start doing things God’s way. But in order to do them you must learn them. Start your day today of seeking the Lord and His ways. He will make your paths straight and lead you into that best way.

Hebrews 3:9-14 “There your fathers tested Me and tried My patience even though they saw My miracles for forty years they still doubted Me! This ignited My anger with that generation and I said about them, ‘They wander in their hearts just like they do with their feet, and they refuse to learn My ways.’ My heart grieved over them so I decreed: ‘They will not enter into My rest!’ “So search your hearts every day, my brothers and sisters and make sure that none of you has evil or unbelief hiding within you. Take heed, brethren, lest at any time there shall be in some of you a wicked unbelief in heart by separating from the living God. This is the time to encourage each other to never be stubborn or hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. For we are mingled with the Messiah, if we will continue unshaken in this confident assurance from the beginning until the end.” (emphasis added) Budd Rodgers

The Lamp-stand and the Olive Trees
And the angel speaking with me returned; and he awakened me, in which manner whenever a man should be awakened from out of his sleep. And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I have seen and behold, a lamp-stand entirely of gold and the oil lamp bowl upon it and seven lamps upon it and seven oil funnels to the seven lamps upon it and two olive trees upon it, one at the right of its oil lamp bowl and one at the left. And I asked and I said to the angel, the one speaking with me, saying, What are these, O lord? And the angel answered, the one speaking with me. And he said to me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, O lord.

Not by Power, but by My Spirit
And he responded and said to me, saying, This is the Word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by great power, nor by strength, but by My Spirit, says the LORD almighty. Who are you great mountain before the face of Zerubbabel to set up? And I will bring forth the stone of the inheritance of its favor equaling My favor. And came to pass the Word of the LORD to me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel laid the foundation of this house and his hands shall complete it; and you shall recognize that the LORD almighty has sent me to you. For who treated with contempt small days? And they shall rejoice and shall see the tin stone plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel; these seven eyes of the LORD are the ones looking upon all the earth. And I responded and said to him, What are these two olive trees, the ones on the right side of the lamp-stand and on the left? And I asked a second time and I said to him, What are the two branches of the olive trees, the ones by the handles of the two tubes of gold of the ones pouring and returning back the oil by funnels of gold? And he spoke to me, saying, Do you know not what these are? And I said, No, O lord. And he said, These are the two sons of fatness, they stand beside the LORD of all the earth.

May 29, 2024. Be careful not to step into pride and arrogance. It is the haughty that are brought low but the humble I will promote. Jesus took on the mantle of the meek and lowly. Don’t regard the meek as weak. Meekness means you are wholly relying upon Me and feel no need to take things into your own hands. Pride says, “I will do this myself; I am capable of handling all things.” Satan fell because of pride, don’t be found guilty of the same.

2 Corinthians 10:1 “Now I, Paul, myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ — I, who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you —” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 29, 2024. Pay attention to what is coming out of your mouth. Are you speaking My Words over your life? Are you saying what I say or have said? Or are you saying what the enemy is saying over your life? I say to you, say what I say. Prophesy over your life what I say. Line your speech up with what I say and believe what I say. When you do, My angels are released to bring it to pass. 

Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘ Be removed and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Jennifer Peikert

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Watch for circumstances that cause you to feel helpless and not equipped to handle. Refuse to dump down in despair and helplessness. Rise up to your potential in Me, says the Lord. Remind yourself that you belong to Me, and that you can do all things that have been given to you when you trust Me to bring you through. 

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Clean Garments for the Great Priest
And the LORD showed to me Joshua the great priest standing in front of the angel of the LORD and the devil standing at the right of him, being an adversary against him. And the LORD said to the devil, May the LORD reproach against you, O devil and may the LORD reproach against you, the one choosing Jerusalem. Is this not a firebrand being pulled out of the fire? And Joshua was being clothed with filthy garments and he stood in front of the angel. And the angel responded and said to the ones standing in front of him, saying, Remove the filthy garments from him! And he said to him, Behold, I took your iniquities. And you clothe him in a foot length robe! And he said, Place also a mitre and a clean turban upon his head! And they placed a mitre and a clean turban upon his head. And they put garments around him. And the angel of the LORD stood. And the angel of the LORD testified to Joshua, saying, Thus says the LORD almighty, If you should go in My ways and should keep guard My orders then you shall litigate My house; and you shall guard My courtyard and I will give to you ones pacing in the midst of these standing. Hear indeed, O Joshua the great priest! you and your neighbors, the ones sitting down before in front of you. For they are men that are observers of signs. For behold, I will bring My servant — rising. For the stone which I put before the face of Joshua; upon the one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I dig an excavation, says the LORD almighty; and I will handle all the injustice of the land in one day. In that day, says the LORD almighty, you shall call together each his neighbor underneath a grapevine and underneath a fig-tree. 

May 28, 2024. My cross is a reminder of all the power you will ever need. Your Savior WILLINGLY went to the cross for you. He bore ALL your sin and took all your iniquities with Him. You are now sinless through His blood – rejoice today My child. His righteousness has now become your righteousness. Do as He does, say what He says, speak what He speaks. You and He have become one in union. He did it all for you!

2 Corinthians 5:21 “For the one not knowing sin, He made a sin offering for us, that we should be righteousness of God by Him. ” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 28, 2024. As creatures of the “Most High” God, the only creation that is created in My image has the most precious gift from GOD. That gift is called “freedom”. All of mankind has the freedom to choose who they will serve. You can show your gratitude toward Me and choose My ways and My will for your life. Choose to love the unlovely or the one that despitefully uses you. Jesus says to you today…” Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” Make that freedom count for righteousness!

Galatians 5:1 “At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.” Budd Rodgers

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Check yourself and make sure that you are being kind to everyone, especially those who are closest to you. Your love must be genuine and unselfish. You reap what you sow. If your love is genuine and not just about you and your needs, it will be multiplied back to you. Be generous in your thoughts and actions, says the Lord. 

Proverbs 10:11-12 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

The Man with a Cord Measure
And I lifted my eyes and I beheld and behold, a man and in his hand was a measuring line of a surveyor. And I said to him, Where do you go? And he said to me, To measure out Jerusalem and to see how great the width of it is and how great the length. And behold, the angel speaking with me stopped and another angel went forth to meet with him.  And he said to him, Run and speak to that young man! saying, Fruitfully shall Jerusalem be inhabited because of a multitude of men and cattle in the midst of her. And I will be to her, says the LORD, a wall of fire round about and I will be for glory in the midst of her.

The Future Glory of Jerusalem
Oh, Oh flee from the land of the north! says the LORD. For from out of the four winds of the heaven I will gather you, says the LORD. Unto Zion escape! O ones dwelling with the daughter of Babylon. Because, thus says the LORD almighty, After glory He has sent Me out unto the nations, the ones despoiling you; for the one touching you is as one touching the pupil of His eye. For behold, I bear My hand against them and they will be spoils to the ones serving them. And you shall know that the LORD almighty has sent me. Be happy and glad, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will encamp in the midst of you, says the LORD. And many nations shall take refuge unto the LORD in that day and they will be to Him for a people. And I will encamp in your midst and you shall realize that the LORD almighty has sent Me to you. And the LORD shall inherit Judah His portion upon the holy land and will select still Jerusalem. Let all flesh show reverence from in front of the LORD; for He was awakened from out of His holy clouds.

May 27, 2024. I know that you are disappointed, I can feel your pain and disillusionment. You are at a place where you simply don’t know what to do. This is a good place to be because you won’t be working out of your own strength anymore. Lay your burdens over on Me because My burdens are light and not heavy. Trust Me and simply be. Watch My mighty hand move – you will be amazed at what happens next.

Matthew 11:29-30 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 27, 2024. I know you feel that you have failed Me because you have not lived up to all the expectations that you have set for yourself. It is a good thing to desire to live your life according to My Word. I know that you are human and make mistakes. Love Me for I will never be disappointed with you. As a matter of FACT…I have made provision for you to always remain in right standing with Me.

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.

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.

Gather your strength, make a plan and do what needs to be done in preparation for the next leg of your journey. It might not be easy, but it will be necessary. There will be highs and lows in your circumstances, but you must maintain your spiritual equilibrium regardless of what you are facing in the natural realm. Your strength to endure will come from your relationship with Me, says the Lord. 

Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed is the man in whom is the assistance to him from You; in his heart he ordained ascending; into the valley of the place of weeping; into the place which he put himself.

All 27 bones work together as conduits of My anointing. Lay your hands upon people and objects and transfer My power. You will change conditions through your touch. Heal the sick, lay hands on and anoint and appoint. Share love and care through your hands. Touch heals.

Luke 4:40 “While the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them.”

Matthew 19:13 “Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 25, 2024. Revive the anticipation of My supernatural power in your life and in the lives of those around you. I created your mind to expect My goodness. When you expect My best, then you will speak those things that are in your mind. As you begin to declare those things, your mind will hear those words and you will believe the promises that I have given you in My Word. Anticipate, expect, speak and then receive My abundance!

Psalms 27:13-14 “I trust to behold the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait on the LORD.” Jonas Bohlin

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Even when life is difficult to navigate and it seems like you cannot make sense of what is happening around you, I am still with you, says the Lord. Stay the course and continue to do your best; I will take care of the rest. You can trust Me to do what you cannot do and take you where you cannot go on your own. Maintain an unrelenting faith. 

Mark 11:22-24 So Jesus answered and said to them, Have belief in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them.

May 24, 2024. I am bringing structure and stability to your life, like you’ve never known before. I am giving you balance and a steady foundation. Sometimes you have felt tossed around like a float on an ocean. I say that today, things are beginning to line up and you will become planted and sure. Look around, recognize your surroundings and dig deep – your foundation is being laid and anchored securely. Settle in and enjoy.

Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.  And the rain fell and the rivers came and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the Rock.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 24, 2024. When I say to you, Trust ME, I want you to let go of the things that distract you, the things that worry you, even the things that scare you. Give it all to Me and just let ME do the work. You can choose to do it your way, but I say to you today MY way is the only way. You have to trust the process and know that I have nothing but good things for you.

Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”  Pam Jackson

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

You are beginning a new chapter in your life. The past is behind and the door is open to your future. It is up to you to write the next chapter. You will do this by the decisions you make and what you choose to do with every day. Choose carefully and wisely with the understanding that your thoughts, words and deeds will reap their own consequences either good or bad. 

Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the harvest of the Spirit shall reap everlasting life.

May 23, 2024. There is a “stirring” happening. You can sense it and feel it. Just as I stirred the waters at the pool of Bethesda, I am stirring your waters. You are picking up on it in your spirit. I say step into the stirring. It will feel unusual at first and many won’t go in because of fear but I say to you – jump in because My power is there and you will gain supernatural strength from it.

John 5:4  “For an angel of the Lord went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.” Robin Robinson Bohlin

May 23, 2024. You must believe that I really do care about you and your life events. When the struggles come and everything seems to be crashing down on top of you, that is when I show you MY greatest strength and I will bear you up through it all. My promise to you is, that in ME you really never fail. I AM for you and for all things needed. Rejoice today in your position of victory.

Romans 8:28-32 “But we know that to the ones loving God all things work together for good, to the ones being called according to purpose. For of whom He foreknew, also He predefined conformable to the image of His Son, for Him to be first-born among many brethren. But the ones whom He predefined, these also He called. And whom He called, these also He justified. And whom He justified, these also He glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? The one who indeed spared not His ownSon, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also grant all things to us with Him?”  Budd Rodgers

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Examine yourself to make sure that you have forgiven every person who has come against you in any way. That is the only way for you to receive forgiveness for what you have done to others in thought, word, or deed. You cannot progress until you are blameless in this aspect of your life, says the Lord. 

Mark 11:25-26 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.

May 22, 2024. Are you extending favour, like the favour I extend to you? It is so easy to get caught up in judgment. Here is the key, remember you are seated in the heavenlies with Me, now! You are high up where the air is clear and the perspective is pure. Don’t be a lowlander where the common folk are, remember where you are and extend favour to those who need it. Give favour because you received favour.

Luke 6:36 “So be merciful (sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate) even as your Father is [all these].” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 22, 2024. I say to you do not lose hope. Do not waiver. I will do what I have said I will do. Do not grow weary. Have faith. What you have been believing Me for and hoping for will manifest and become your reality. I said I will do it and I will. Faith motivates, faith empowers, faith provides, faith pulls down and faith stirs. Have faith, have hope, I will do it.

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.” Jennifer Peikert

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Set aside time to rest and reevaluate what you have done, what you must do, what you want to do and how you will go about it. There are places of neglect and regret that need to be rectified as you establish yourself in Divine order. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 Be yielding with your whole heart upon God and upon your own wisdom be not encouraged!

Habakkuk 3

Habakkuk’s Prayer

The prayer of Habakkuk the prophet with an ode. O LORD, I listened to Your report and I feared. O LORD, I contemplated Your works and was startled. In the midst of the two living creatures You shall be known; in the approaching of the years You shall be recognized; in the time at hand You shall be made manifest when my soul is disturbed; in wrath You shall remember mercy. God shall come from out of Teman, even the holy one from out of the mount of the shady Paran. PAUSE. His virtue covered the heavens and His praise filled the earth. And His brightness will be as light and horns in His hands. And He established a strong affection by His strength. Before His face shall go a Word and it shall go forth for a flat ground. At His feet the earth stood and shook; He looked and nations melted; the mountains were broken through by force; the eternal hills melted away  — His eternal ways. I beheld the tents of Ethiopians in troubles shall be disturbed and the tents of the land of Midian. Were You provoked to anger at the rivers, O LORD, or was Your rage at the rivers, or was Your impulse at the sea? The one riding upon Your horses and Your riding is deliverance. Stretching out, You shall stretch out Your bow against the chiefdoms. PAUSE. The land of rivers shall be torn. They saw You and peoples shall travail. You shall disperse waters of the coursing. The abyss gave out her voice — the height of His visible display. The sun was exalted and the moon stood in her order. At the light of Your arrows they shall go forth and Your weapons in brightness of lightning. By intimidation You shall make the land few and in rage You shall break nations. You came forth for deliverance of Your people, to deliver Your anointed one. You threw death onto the heads of lawless ones; for the completion You rose bonds unto the neck. You cut heads of mighty ones for astonishment; they shall shake in it; they shall open wide their bridles as the poor eating in private. You divided into parts in stupefaction the heads of the mighty. They shall shake in it. They shall open their reins as the poor chewing in concealment. And You conducted Your horses into the sea, disturbing great waters. I watched and my belly was terrified from the sound of the prayer of my lips; and trembling entered into my bones and my part beneath. My manner was disturbed. I will rest in a day of my affliction for me to ascend to the people of my sojourn.

An Ode of Belief
For though the fig-tree shall not bear fruit and there shall not be produce on the grapevines; and the work of the olive shall lie and the plains shall not produce food, and sheep cease from having food and the oxen shall not exist at the stables; yet I shall exult in the LORD; I will rejoice over God my deliverer. The LORD God is my power and He will arrange my feet unto completion; and upon the high places He shall set me, for me to overcome by His ode. 

May 21, 2024. My way will always be laced with peace. Today, I want you to pursue peace. You can be in an unpeaceful situation and simply speak peace and peace comes. It is a way within a way, a path within a path. My Son, spoke peace in an unpeaceful situation. Others around Him were afraid and He simply said to the storm, peace, be still. Do this and see the raging storm diminish – use the power within you.

Mark 4:39 “And having awakened, He gave reproach to the wind and said to the sea, Be silent! Be halted! And the wind abated and there became a great peace.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 21, 2024.  One of life’s hardest lessons is learning that you may fail or at least appear to fail in doing something that is required of you. When this happens, many respond that it was someone else’s fault. Some would call it the “blame game”. Adam tried it on Eve and then she blamed it on the devil, in the beginning. All My children have a part to play in bringing about My will on earth.

Psalms 37:5 “Reveal to Adonai your way and hope upon Him! Trust in Him and He will act.” Budd Rodgers

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

To those who have been obedient to My leading and continue to seek My face, you are on the verge of significant breakthrough. You will begin to catch a glimpse of your destiny and be able to progress in ways you have not yet considered. I am leading you every step of the way, and you will have to be careful to not get ahead of Me, says the Lord. 

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Habakkuk 2

God Answers the Prophet – The Just Shall Live by My Belief
1I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the tower; and I will keep watch to see what He will say to me and what answer I will give [as His spokesman] when I am reproved. 2Then the LORD answered me and said, “Write the vision and engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets so that the one who reads it will run. 3“For the vision is yet for the appointed [future] time it hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail. Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it, because it will certainly come; it will not delay. 4“Look at the proud one, his soul is not right within him, but the righteous will live by his faith [in the true God]. 5“Moreover, wine is treacherous and betrays the arrogant man, so that he does not stay at home. His appetite is large like Sheol, and he is like death, never satisfied. He gathers to himself all nations and collects to himself all peoples [as if he owned them]. 6“Will all these [victims of his greed] not take up a taunting song against him, And in mocking derision against him say, ‘[a]Woe (judgment is coming) to him who increases that which is not his–how long [will he possess it]? And [woe to him who] makes himself wealthy with loans.’ 7“Will your creditors not rise up suddenly and those who collect from you awaken? Then you will become plunder for them. 8“Because you [king of Babylon] have looted many nations, all peoples who are left will loot you–because of human bloodshed and for the violence done to the land, to the city and all its inhabitants. 9“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who obtains wicked gain for his house [and thinks by so doing] to set his nest on high, that he may be rescued from the hand of evil. 10“You have devised a shameful thing for your house by cutting off and putting an end to many peoples; so you are sinning against your own life and forfeiting it. 11“For the stone will cry out from the wall [to accuse you–built in sin!] and the rafter will answer it out of the woodwork.  12“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by violence! 13“Is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts that peoples labor [only] for the fire [that will destroy their work] and nations grow weary for nothing [that is, things which have no lasting value]? 14“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 15“Woe (judgment is coming) to you who make your neighbors drink, who mix in your venom to make them drunk so that you may look at their nakedness! 16“You will be filled with disgrace instead of honor. Now drink and expose your own nakedness! The cup [of wrath] in the LORD’S right hand will come around to you [O destroyer] and utter disgrace will be on your own glory. 17“For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you; the destruction of the animals will terrify you on account of human bloodshed and the violence done to the land, to the city and all its inhabitants. 18“What profit is the carved image when its maker has formed it? It is only a cast image and a teacher of lies. For its maker trusts in his own creation [as his god] when he makes speechless idols. 19“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who says to the wooden image, ‘Awake!’ And to the speechless stone, ‘Arise!’ And that is your teacher? Look, it is overlaid with gold and silver and there is no breath at all inside it. 20“But the LORD is in His holy temple. Let all the earth hush and be silent before Him.”

[a] 6 The taunting song of the five woes pronounced against Babylon begins in v 6 and concludes at the end of the chapter.

May 20, 2024. My father was an “angel watcher”. I was amazed that he could peer into the unseen world and see the angels always with him. The Lord says, Do you know that you are never alone? My angels are watching over you, protecting you, guarding you, assisting you. They are here to comfort you. You are created almost on the same level as the heavenly beings. It’s okay to bless them, walk with them but don’t worship them. Worship their Creator.

Psalm 8:4-5 “What is man that You are mindful of him and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings] and You have crowned him with glory and honor.”

Psalm 91:11-12 “For He will give His angels  charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 20, 2024. My plan and purpose for you is a clean heart. A clean heart is a heart that is in tune with Me. When you live your life according to My Word there are many rewards. I watch and listen to all you do and speak. You please Me and I want to provide for you all the benefits that come from a heart in step with Me. I know that you’ve made mistakes, but I see your heart.

Acts 13:21-22 “Then they asked for a king and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I HAVE FOUND DAVID the son of Jesse, A MAN AFTER MY HEART, who will do all My will.’” Jonas Bohlin
