SHELLY MATHIS Kremmling, Colorado Trust ![]() March 13, 2013 It’s a trust issue. Every single issue you are facing boils down to the issue of trust. When you consider this, you may recognize a deficiency in your supply. You want your faith to grow but wonder how. Got trouble? Got pain? Got questions? These sources of intimidation are the perfectly-designed opportunities I am presenting for you to practice and develop your trust and faith in Me. As you step out to believe absolutely, apart from self-dependence, I will respond to Your faith and meet your need. Rejoice in these opportunities! Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. |

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: http://ft111.com/ Pay close attention. Listen and look for My wisdom that will bring solutions to problems, some of which are long-standing. Because you have thought the problem was difficult and complex, you presumed that the solution would also be complicated. But, now you will see that it is really quite simple--an obvious answer and perfect fit. Receive it with joy, says the Lord. Psalms 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. ![]() |

March 14, 2013. You have been shaken once more. You thought it was all over. It was not. You were forewarned by Me, but you would not listen. Blaming things on others is an empty hole that leads to oblivion. It is difficult to face squarely a word from the Lord promising to shake you again. You have a way of not facing reality when it comes to the strong word of the Lord warning of coming correction and discipline. Turning away in unbelief releases the pressure momentarily. But eventually, the shaking will come. But you say, "Lord, you have already shaken me." But the Lord says, "If you had listened earlier, this second shaking would not have been necessary. You have been left with only that which can no longer be shaken. This is actually good news for you. Hebrews 12:26-27 (NASB) "And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN." This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain." Ras Robinson March 14, 2013. I have an abundant supply of wisdom. It will never run out. There is always more than enough to supply all of everyone's needs. Talking it over with yourself and coming to a conclusion of what to do is like praying to yourself. "Self, what is the best recourse of action in this situation?" Self will answer according to your own interests. I want everyone to be of the same mind and purpose, yours included. That is the reason you ask Me for wisdom. Wait for My answer. Don't get ahead of Me and don't walk out on your own plank, you may just have to jump off into murky water. Job 12:13 (AMP) "But [only] with [God] are [perfect] wisdom and might; He [alone] has [true] counsel and understanding." Bev Robinson |

Come to ME, AND LET ME TOUCH YOU NOW, FOR I AM LONGING TO SOOTHE YOUR WOUNDED HEART. IN QUIETNESS AND REST YOU WILL BE RESTORED. Don’t wait, for I have extended the window for a bit longer, but it is not open much longer, and as the enemy arises with great confidence in his plan, I also will arise with My plan, and you will see what you have longed to see. You will see Me and feel Me as never before, and your heart will swell with JOY unspeakable and overflowing. And My glory will be seen upon you. Do not be anxious. TRUST ME to lead you in time. TRUST ME to lead you through. TRUST ME to show you what to do. Sit and wait on ME. Be still and know that I am GOD, and I love you and am beside you through all that comes.”

March 15, 2013 SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: I speak to those who have yielded to the fear of deprivation. Do not allow your fear to override faith in My provision. Put your trust in Me to bless you and to meet your needs. You belong to Me. Am I not able to do what is necessary to get you through a time of leanness? I AM, says the Lord. Psalm 24:1-5 The earth is the LORD'S, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters. Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. http://lit4ever.org/revivalforum/index.php?PHPSESSID=c38e15445bb35065f0e761d99635d2b8&topic=26424.msg41078;topicseen#new |

THE NARROW GATE by Kriston Couchey THE WROUGHT IRON GATE As I began to pray suddenly I found myself standing on a narrow path leading off into the distance. As I scanned further I could see the path led into the dark night to an unknown destination.As I walked this path I came upon a long line of people standing in the middle of the path. A man in the front of the line cried out, "You cannot go further unless you enter the narrow gate!" He stood before a narrow wrought iron gate and the people were attempting to go through. The top of the gate was fashioned from wrought iron and formed the words, "The Narrow Gate". This wrought iron banner was fastened so low down upon the gate that anyone desiring to enter had to crawl on their hands and knees fit beneath it, and then they still were required to squeeze between the narrow posts on either side. I scanned the path beyond the gate and noticed that as far as I could see was what seemed to be a carnival of sorts stretched out along the narrow path into the dark. To my surprise I saw men and women positioned along the road shouting out instructions to the many souls traversing the road as they presided over a series of hurdles, doors, curtains, and obstacle courses blocking the path. At each obstacle someone would give instructions to those making the pilgrimage as to how to pass the obstacle. Finally I asked Father, "What is this gate and path with the obstacles all along the way?" He replied "This is the gate and path of religion. These hindrances on the path in front of people are stumbling blocks placed before them by men. Religion is a stumbling block that places requirements upon men that I never place on them. It attempts to get men to pay or work for what I have already freely given them.” I turned again to the path and saw that many of the obstacles on the path were created and erected by the very ones giving out “advice” as to how to overcome them. They had figured out how to turn the path of religion into an elaborate extortion scheme. These were receiving in return for their services; money, honor, titles, or position, etc. Something was received of everyone to pass an obstacle. When these received the appropriate payment, the pilgrim would be rewarded with the “secret” to overcoming, the “keys” to unlock doors, the “guidelines” on fasting, the “steps” to spiritual success, and on, and on. All of these purported to get you “closer” to God, become more like God, be pleasing to God and receive His blessing, or help you get to another spiritual level. THE SUPERHIGHWAY As I continued to gaze upon this religious charade, to my surprise I noticed that this “narrow path” that at first seemed to be the only path was simply one “lane” of a much bigger super highway that had many lanes on it. This road was very wide with hundreds of lanes being traveled upon by a multitude of people. Each religion had their own lane with their own stumbling blocks for the people that adhered to their ideologies. But, many of the other lanes were filled with people carelessly rushing down the road oblivious as to where they were headed. The lanes of the highway seemed to be divided between two different philosophies of travel. One philosophy of travel was religious engagement that lured people with levels of spiritual attainment and power. The other lured people with the philosophy that there was no absolute truth other than pleasing self. One philosophy was rooted in striving to be like God through requirements and laws. The other philosophy was rooted in believing that man was his own god and no law existed. These two philosophies formed into two distinct streams of humanity flowing in the same direction, to the same destination, and on the same road. It was then Father spoke "This highway is so wide that those in the religious paths do not see that the lawless are on the same highway headed to the same destination. These two philosophies are manifestations of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Both are of the same tree, yet they manifest differently.Religion manifests as self-effort and self-righteousness. Lawlessness manifests as unchecked and unrestrained self-indulgence and self-expression. But son, I only showed you the highway in order to show you the TRUE Narrow Gate.” THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE As He finished speaking a light shone brightly from behind me and cast my shadow alongside the superhighway. Then a voice of as of many waters spoke from behind me saying "Turn around!" I turned to look and there stood Jesus shining in brilliant light.He was standing in the midst of a large fountain of water, and water flowed out from Him. As He spoke the waters rushed out with greater force and spread across the ground. "I AM the narrow gate. I AM the way! He who drinks of Me will never thirst again!” I immediately hit my knees in worship and began drinking from this fountain of life.Joy overwhelming burst from within me and I lost track of all time as I basked in His goodness and love. I awoke as if from a dream from my state of heavenly bliss and opened my eyes to a bright light like noonday. I found myself standing among a small gathering of people and realized the light was not coming from the sun, but emanating from the people standing with me. Even more shocking was the water flowing from everyone’s belly, including my own. The water flowed in the same manner as the fountain that flowed from Jesus. When people spoke the fountain within them welled up with a greater flow that quenched the thirst of everyone around them and bathed them in light. The water was also the source of light. As it came from within each one it caused the person from which it flowed to and from to emanate light. I turned around to see the super highway and to my amazement many of those on the road nearest us drawn by the light were on their knees scooping up and drinking the water as it flowed down around the small group gathered there.We began offering water freely to any willing to drink. Many who received the water were weary and downtrodden, but when they drank the water the transformation that came upon them was complete. Sorrow turned to joy, anxiety to peace, and fear to love. As the people were transformed they began to also overflow the water of life from their bellies and freely offer it to other thirsty souls. To as many as received what was offered, the water of life transformed them. COME AND DRINK We began walking among those on the highway offering water to all who would receive it. The people began to mob the water bearers for a drink. As a result, the explosion of light on the super highway caused many people to stop their journey to investigate what was happening. The light began to shine so brightly that the darkness shrouding the highway began to lift and it was clear to most that it lead to a precipice; anyone going over it would plummet to a certain death. Again Father spoke, “Son, the stingy requirements of religion are not the path to life, nor is it found in simply pleasing self. Jesus IS the narrow gate, Jesus IS the path of life, and Jesus IS the light and water of life. The gateway to life is not narrow because it is hard to enter; it is narrow because Jesus is the only way to life. You must cease from your religious labors to enter into Him. His yoke is easy and his burden is light and you will find rest for your souls in His life giving flow. Only from Him, in Him and through Him can you obtain life. All who will drink of Christ receive abundant life; not someday, not through hard work, but NOW! Men either trust in what is already finished by embracing and receiving abundant life of Christ, or they follow another road which only leads to death.The Spirit and Bride say come and drink that life.” In His Love Kriston Couchey www.openheaven.com |

March 15, 2013. You are precious to me. Think about this. You are not who you once were. Now, in Christ, you are living a new life while in your same body. I have given you the ability to look on heavenly realities where I sit. Therefore, you are invited to "Come sit with Me beside our Father at His right hand." There could be no greater honor! So here is My question to you. "Why waste your time and energy thinking about earthly things when you and I can see and speak with one another about heavenly things?" Your life as you have known it is dead. I have raised you up into a new life and hidden you with Me in God. So, stop worrying and striving. Raise your sights. Colossians 3:2-3 (NLT) "Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God." Ras Robinson Subscribe to "What the Lord Is Saying Today" March 15, 2013. If you will follow Me I will get you through the maze. When I call, you come. When I say stop, you stop. When I start again, start with Me. When I take a step, you take a step. We will move through this maze. When you get out, you will look back and be amazed at the maze you came through. Then you will turn back around, see Me and we will smile together. It is intense now because you are in the thick of the maze. The directions I just gave you work now, but also with every other maze that will come. Keep your eyes on Me. All is well. Hebrews 12:2-3 (KJV) "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." Bev Robinson |
