Refuse to allow the past to mar the present. Everyone has unpleasant memories, but they should have nothing to do with where you are today and what you have been called to do. Wipe your proverbial slate clean and begin again, says the Lord. Allow your heart to be cleansed and prepared for the future. 

Luke 6:37 Judge not and you shall not be judged. Condemn not and you shall not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.

December 28, 2023. People are watching you. They are looking for someone to imitate. Will you be an example to follow or an example of what to NOT do? I have created you in My image and I intend for you to lead others. Jesus, your big brother laid down the path for you to follow. Refer to Him if you don’t know how to behave; He will always point you in the right direction – WWJD.

1 Peter 2:21 “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in His steps.” Robin Robinson Bohlin  

December 28, 2023. As the year 2023 ends, I believe one thing is very important to the Lord. He tells us in HIS Word to “forget” what lies behind. You and I should not carry any of our past into the new year. The past is over. Keep your good memories but remember you cannot live in that moment of time. God has a new day for you to live in every day. Part of that “one” thing to do is to also “press” into the new thing God is calling you to do. Purpose to push out that baby (metaphorically speaking) and give birth to the new vision God has ordained you to have!

Philippians 3:13-14 “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself as having taken hold of this. But this one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal for the reward of the upward calling of Yahweh in Messiah Yeshua.” Budd Rodgers

Do not be afraid to move into unfamiliar or uncharted territory. Growth comes with seeking Me for wisdom about taking your next step. You will not be given more than you can effectively handle. Trust Me to give you the proper guidance and direction necessary to advance, says the Lord. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

December 27, 2023. If you could have what you say, would you change what you say? I want you to listen to your words. Are you saying, “My feet are killing me”? Do you say, “I don’t have enough to make it to the end of the month?” When I tell you that life and death are in the power of the tongue, I mean it. Begin to decree what you desire and watch your life flip a switch.

Job 22:28 “And He will restore to you a habitation of righteousness and upon your ways will be brightness.”

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the handle of the tongue; and the ones holding it shall eat of its fruits.” Robin Robinson Bohlin  

December 27, 2023. I want you to rest in Me. Rest in My love. Throw off all that is stealing your rest and peace. I AM your resting place. Lean into Me. Don’t allow the enemy to steal your peace and joy any longer. I have given you victory, I will restore to you what has been stolen as you rest in Me. Come, rest in Me, rest in My unconditional, extravagant love.

Psalms 23:1-3 “Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in His luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where He restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in His footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to His name.”  Jennifer Peikert

You are entering a season of preparation to do all that I have called and chosen for you to do. You are on a spiritual journey that will bring out the best in you both spiritually and naturally. You are becoming My emissary to represent Me and My kingdom in your place on the earth, says the Lord. Follow My lead. 

Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

December 26, 2023. I see knots, tightly wound knots being untied. What you once thought was impossible to become straight, I will make straight in an instant! Let the untying begin. Stand back and watch Me move. Do not put your hands out to help. I AM Shalom. I AM the peace in this situation. Having done all, now stand, watch. You have trusted and believed Me and I have been moved by this. Rejoice now for the peace of this situation to become manifest.

Isaiah 45:2 “I will go before you and I shall level mountains. I shall break the doors of brass and bars of iron I break in pieces.”  Robin Robinson Bohlin  

December 26, 2023. Last week while traveling out of town, I realized I was missing a “bag” when I got to my destination. Thinking I left it at home, I dismissed the incident to “forgetfulness”. When I got home, it was not there and then I realized the bag did get loaded into the car, but it was “stolen” during the trip, when the car wasn’t locked at some point. The thought of it caused me to burn inside with anger. I heard the Spirit of God say this, “Fret not yourself because of evildoers, instead, “feed” on the faithfulness of God”. If you have been “stolen” from ever in your life, instead of getting “heated” up over it, “cool” down in the faithfulness of God and delight in HIM! 

Psalm 37:1-7 “Of David. Be not provoked to jealousy with ones acting wickedly, nor be jealous of the ones doing lawlessness! For they shall be dried up quickly as grass and as vegetation of tender shoots they shall quickly fall away. Trust in Adonai and execute graciousness! And encamp in the land! and you shall be tended by its riches. Revel in Adonai that He will give you the requests of your heart. Reveal to Adonai your way and hope upon Him! and He will act. And He shall bring forth your righteousness as light and your practice as at midday. Submit to Adonai and entreat Him. Be not provoked to jealousy in the prospering by a man doing unlawfulness in his way! Put away anger and turn from wrath.” Budd Rodgers

Things that you have been fussing over will now become crystal clear. You will realize that all the angst that you have entertained was without reward. Now it is time to settle yourself in the knowledge that I am with you regardless of your situation, and take comfort in knowing that you are not alone, says the Lord. 

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

PREPARING THE WAY
by Jeffrey Stewart

The Father says:

“At Jesus’ first coming, ONE was sent ahead to prepare the way for Him. Before Jesus’ second coming MANY are now sent ahead to prepare the way for Him. The way will be made ready by those who are used to help His Bride make HERSELF ready.
 
My Glory is the Bridal Gown. Just as I wrap Myself in Light, the Bride must also know that SHE is ALSO wrapped in Light, because She is clothed in My Son, Who IS My Glory. (Heb 1:3 The Son is the Radiance of God’s Glory). My Son is My Word. (John 1:1) As she SPEAKS My Word, which is My Glory, into Her heart, that Glory will become visible for all to see. As My Son was transfigured on the mountain top, so too will His Bride be transfigured. But while My Son was transfigured IN SECRET, His Bride will be transfigured for ALL TO SEE!”
 
“Revelation is My Son revealing His Glory to His Bride by My Spirit. As she beholds His Glory through My Word, Her own Glory shall become MORE AND MORE visible.
 
I am throwing open the doors of Revelation in this season and My Son is flooding His Bride with The SAME Light that floods Heaven. Heaven WILL BE CLEARLY SEEN UPON HIS BRIDE BEFORE I SEND MY SON TO RETURN FOR HER!

My Dear Son withholds NOTHING from His Bride and He is EXTREMELY eager to show Her His RADIANT Glory. ALL of His VAST Glory is contained in My Word.
 
Every Bride beholds herself in a mirror before her wedding as she makes herself ready to meet her Groom. So My Son’s Bride MUST ALSO BEHOLD HERSELF IN THE MIRROR OF MY WORD IN ORDER TO MAKE HERSELF READY to meet HER Groom.
 
You who are called to help His Bride make herself ready will be shown My Son’s Glory in My Word. You, working with My Spirit, will point His Bride to this Glory, to the vast revelations that I will reveal to you. You will be used in this manner, to show His Bride WHO SHE REALLY IS! You will be used to wash her eyes from the lies that man has told her, so she will see Herself as My Dear Son sees her. You will be used to SET HER FREE!
 
So be GREATLY ENCOURAGED! Her Wedding is sooner than most believe! The Joy that was set before Him SHALL SOON BE HIS!”

The Trumpet by Bill Burns:

You are entering a new season, but you must access the Light that I give you that will bring revelation of My presence. Darkness is increasing on the earth, but My glory shall rest upon those who are Mine, says the Lord. You will arise and shine. 

Isaiah 60:1-2  Be enlightened! Be enlightened, O Jerusalem! for your Light is come and the glory of the LORD has  risen upon you. Behold, darkness shall cover the earth and a dimness upon nations; but the LORD shall appear upon you and His glory shall be seen upon you.

Be sensitive to the conviction that comes when you deviate from the path that I have set you on and be ready to punish disobedience by being obedient to My leading. I have a plan and purpose for your life, which will require complete submission to My guidance and direction for you, says the Lord. 

Micah 4:2 And many nations shall go and shall say, Come, we should ascend unto the mountain of the LORD and unto the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us His way and we shall go by His roads. For from out of Zion shall go forth the law and the Word of the LORD from out of Jerusalem.

MY WORD COMES FROM ABOVE
by Jeffrey Stewart

The Father says:
 “My Word comes from above. So as you fill your hearts with My Word by saying it, you will begin to live above the circumstances of your life. You will begin to see your circumstances “from above” as I see them. They will appear small compared to Me. For My Word contains within it the power to help you walk in victory over every circumstance. For My Word living in you IS JESUS LIVING IN YOU. And He has overcome the world.”

I WANT MY PEOPLE TO STOP SPEAKING AS THE WORLD SPEAKS
by Jeffrey Stewart

The Father says:.
“I want My People to stop speaking as the world speaks. Most of the people in the world system are spiritually dead. The words they say are dead. They come from death and perpetuate death. My people need to speak LIFE. They should speak life over themselves, over their family members, over their city, over their nation. My Spirit will give you the words to say. Say those words and watch as I bring life and restoration.”

Do not dwell on what might happen, or could happen, or should happen. Leave the future in My hands, says the Lord. I am well able to take you through daily challenges and to give you the favor to deal with every situation. There are lessons to learn and wisdom to access all of the time. Trust Me; I am with you. 

Psalm 61:2 From the ends of the earth I cry out to You.  In the discouraging of my heart, You lifted me high in the rock; You guided me.

WHO IS YOUR SAVIOR?
by Pastor Sandy Armstrong
Dec. 16, 23

Father gave me a Word to give:
The Lord says, “I know I am the Savior already. You confessing that you believe I am the Savior is known throughout the universe. You believe I died on the cross is a fact; the whole universe knows this. The confession I want, is you to make Me Lord. Can My Word control your conduct? Beyond this is religion that does not Save.”

Romans 10:9-11 (Aortas Verbs; are continuous actions) That if you shall (acknowledge) with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall trust in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be delivered.

For with the heart man (trusts) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, whosoever (trusts) upon Him shall not be ashamed.

December 23, 2023. I see your struggle and I know it’s real. I say to you My child, cease your struggling, cease your efforts, step into My way, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Stop your programs, step out of your “trying”. When you seek Me you will find Me and I am perfect. Therefore, your release is perfect. Keep Me at the center and all of a sudden, the shackles that have held you will be released.

Psalm 107:13-14 “And they cried out to Yahweh in their being afflicted; and from out of their distresses He delivered them. And He led them from out of darkness and the shadow of death; and He tore up their bonds.” Robin Robinson Bohlin  

December 23, 2023. Let the celebration begin! The heavens rejoice at the coming of the Savior of the world. He is worthy of our praise and celebration. All of heaven rejoiced and praised Me as My Son entered the realm of mankind to bring you back into perfect relationship with Me. Rest in the understanding that the purpose for which He came WILL come to pass. Jesus’ birth, life, death, burial and resurrection allows you to be in right standing.

Luke 2:29-32 “Now loosen Your servant, O master, according to Your Word, in peace. For my eyes saw Your deliverance, which You prepared before the face of all the peoples; a light for an uncovering of nations and glory of Your people Israel.” Jonas Bohlin

When you feel like you have been berated for something you did or did not do, refuse to allow criticism to haunt you. Instead, you must forgive and release it so that it does not fester in you. Come to Me, says the Lord, and leave your hurt feelings on the altar. I will heal your broken heart. 

Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

December 22, 2023. Today is our 44th wedding anniversary – Jonas and Robin Bohlin!! God has been good to us and we have worked hard to have a great marriage. The Lord says to you couples today, “Serve each other! Spend time thinking about what makes the other person happy. Get your mind off your own needs and serve the other person. You will make a wonderful, happy marriage this way.” Celebrate the goodness of God TODAY and serve one another!

Galatians 5:13 “For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.” Robin Robinson Bohlin

December 22, 2023. For some the holidays aren’t a happy time. You might be experiencing grief, loneliness or anxiety. The Lord would say to you, “Today is the day you take all those emotions and give them to Me. Let Me carry them, let Me bring you through this time. I want you to celebrate the birth of My Son. He took it all so you can walk in true freedom. So I tell you My child, today is your day! “

Make your plans, but hold them loosely. A plan is not yet reality, so you must be pliable and move forward with the ease of flexibility. Otherwise, you might find yourself discouraged and let down. Remind yourself that I am the only true constant in your life, says the Lord.

December 21, 2023. These are days made for shouting! I remember my mother and I used to go outside when we lived on our farm and shout long and loud! There is something about releasing a shout that helps matters. The Lord says, SHOUT! SHOUT for victory. SHOUT for release. SHOUT the devil out of your circumstance. SHOUT because you are on the winning side. SHOUT for My soon return! Let SHOUTS of joy fill your home! Go ahead – SHOUT!

Psalm 118:15 “The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.”Robin Robinson Bohlin

December 21, 2023. Remember that it is your authority in Christ that scares your enemies. Too often we are concerned with power. The Lord has said, all authority has been given unto Me, therefore I tell you to go out in My authority. Today recognize the authority of Jesus in your life. You are a king and a priest who submits to the King of Kings and to the ultimate High Priest. You don’t have to seek out the darkness. It will find you.

Mark 1:21-26 “And they went into Capernaum. Right away, on Shabbat (the Sabbath), He entered the synagogue and began to teach. And they were astounded at His teaching, for He was teaching them as one having authority and not as the Torah scholars. Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, ‘What have we to do with You, Yeshua of Natzeret? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are! You’re the Holy One of God!’ Yeshua rebuked him, saying, ‘Quiet! Come out of him!’ And the unclean spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.” Budd Rodgers

Live life today with the passion of a child seeking to become all that the Father has planned for you. You have not been overlooked or forgotten. You are His own special treasure. Proceed with the knowledge that you are one of a kind and precious in His sight. Go forth with that understanding. 

1 Peter 2:4-5 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

December 20, 2023. Remember you are a temple. Holy Spirit came to dwell in you when you received Christ as Savior. The beautiful thing is that there are many fillings. Even though the disciples walked with Christ and gave their lives to Him – there was still a baptism that happened in Acts 2, the baptism of fire and power! You are His temple. Be sure and care for yourself as Holy Spirit lives in you.

The noisy ones get a lot of attention but now is the time for My quiet ones to be revealed. For what you have sown in secret will be publicly manifested for My glory!!

Matthew 6:3-6 “But when you give to charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your deeds of charity may be in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret will reward you openly. Also when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already. But when you pray, go into your [most] private room and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.”Robin Robinson Bohlin

December 19, 2023. This is for those who need direction, wisdom and guidance. All of us need help from time to time in making the best decision regarding life. The source of all understanding and knowledge is God. I heard HIM say, Most things in life are beyond your expertise. Why don’t you let Me direct you…I asked Him how to do that and HE gave me the Scripture below. The word commit in this passage means to roll over your burdens on the Lord. So trust in Him and watch HIM do it!

Come in belief and receive all that I have for you in this season, says the Lord.

WORD FROM THE LORD
Pastor Randy C. Brodhagen                                      

“For I say to you this day that the Son has risen. Yes, I have risen and I am the Lord, the Lord of all, the King of kings. I am in My position of power and authority and I have given that power and authority to you to work the works of God while there is still time. In Jesus’ name destroy the work of the devil.

Advance forcefully. Take back what belongs to Me, saith the Lord. And I will rejoice and you will rejoice, people will rejoice. Great rejoicing will be heard in the midst of all the commotion. The thief is throwing the dirt in the air to create confusion and to confound and he is trying to steal, to kill, to destroy.

Forces are joining together that I laugh at, for they will come to nothing in their evil plotting and planning. For who are they to thwart the plan of God? I kicked their leader, the devil, out of heaven and destroyed his work at the cross.

I am coming in all glory and honor to establish My new kingdom forever. So live in the hope of your calling, that there is a true hope and a true future. In the meantime, overcome evil with good. Be not overcome by the evil. Fret not over evildoers, for in due season you will look for them and not find them. They have gone the way of the dirt. They have not gone the way of the Spirit of life. And so, they have no life, even though they walk around and say things and do things. They will have no fruit in their life that will come to anything. They will be shown for what they are and exposed to an open shame, just as I did the devil at the cross.

Therefore, realize ‘risen, risen,’ rise up and be the saints of God. Rise up in holiness and purity and justice and truth. Think on the things that are true, just and beautiful, the things of virtue and worthy of praise, the things of Me, says the Lord. For I am the Lord.

Be content in whatever situation you are. Be not moved by fear or by force, for I am moving on your behalf and you will not be moved from your position. It will last. So, having done all to stand, stand and overcome when the evil day comes. You have been prepared for this hour. You have been equipped for this hour. You are being sustained in this hour to complete everything that I have given you to do.

Rejoice and be glad in Me. And say to another, ‘Be not afraid, for the Lord, strong in battle, strong and mighty, is in us.’ He is for us. He is not against us. ‘Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus.’ Know that whosoever calls upon Me, I will answer and show great and mighty things, things you know not of.

I am the Lord of the nations. I move the nations as I will to bring things together to the fullness of days. Therefore, don’t get caught up in fear about this or that happening. All you need to know is that I am in charge and I reign. I will bring the evil down on the evil and I will bring the blessing upon the blessing. For the evil will be consumed by their own actions, their own words, their own thoughts, their own deeds. They are not in unity.

But My people are in unity. One in spirit, one in heart. Those are of My Spirit and those who have not yet received all that I have intended, I am making a way for them. Their eyes and their hearts will be open to the Good News. So, get My Word out there to My people and continue to teach My truth so My truth can set My people free, in Jesus’ name.”

Pastor continued with this: Thank You for enabling us to do everything that You have given us to do and that Your great provision is coming in spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and relationships to do all that You have given to do. We thank You, Lord, that You preserve us from every attack of the evil one. Someday we will be with You in Glory, in Jesus’ name. The Lord and you and I are in agreement, so it will be what we speak on earth. He is honoring it in heaven and He gave us a Word from heaven to encourage us today as well.

Hold your plans loosely so that when things are not as you thought they would be, you will not suffer disappointment. I want you to flow with the moving of My Spirit, says the Lord and not according to your own thoughts and desires. This is a time of heightened spiritual awareness if you can rise above earthy concerns. 

Ephesians 5:14-16  Therefore he says, Arise, O sleeping one and rise up from the dead! and the Christ shall shine upon you. Take heed then how exactly you walk! not as unwise, but as wise, buying back the time, for the days are wicked.  

December 16, 2023. Fret and worry, fret and worry. I see so many fretting and worrying over what might come. I say, stay current. Don’t project into the future the “what ifs”. Today has enough trouble of its own. Stay current with issues and don’t step over into “vain imaginations”. You say “How do I do that?” Simply when a speculation comes, make your mind to change direction – think on the good…lovely…truthful things. If not, you’ll make yourself sick!

2 Corinthians 10:5 “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,”

Matthew 6:34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”Robin Robinson Bohlin

December 16, 2023. Pay close attention to the words that I say to you. Listen, follow My exact instructions. If you do, I will direct you down a path that leads to My blessing. Pitfalls await you when you choose to ignore or disobey My Word. I want to cover, protect and provide for you, but if you move out from under My wing you have opened yourself up for defeat. Stay under My wing and in the protection it provides.

Joshua 7:3-5 “They returned to Joshua and said to him, ‘Do not let all the people go up; only about two or three thousand men need go up to Ai; do not make all the people toil up there, for they are few.’ So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai. The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men and pursued them from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent, so the hearts of the people melted and became as water.” Jonas Bohlin

Many do not even realize when they light a candle or put lights on the tree that they are celebrating the Light of the World.

Allow Me to melt and mold you into how I see you. You will arise stronger and wiser. You will shine for Me.”

Philippians 2:12-15 “So that, my beloved, as at all times you obeyed, not as at my arrival only, but now much rather in my absence, with fear and trembling work out your own deliverance!  For God is the one operating in you both to want and to operate for the good-pleasure. Do all things without grumblings and arguings! that you should become blameless and unmixed, children of God, without blemish, in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you appear as luminaries in the world,”  Pam Jackson
