Victory
Psalm 3:8 Victory comes from You, O LORD. May You bless Your people.

Dear child of Mine, I offer you My victory in all of your circumstances. I give it freely. Come to Me. Let Me strengthen you within. Let Me give to you that longed for victory in your circumstances. Do not be dismayed. I am with you, watching over you. Never doubt My love. Never doubt that I care. I am your God and Creator. You are My precious child. I will take care of you, and victory will be pronounced in the situations in your life and it will be sweet, dear one, it will be the sweetest!!!

Continue to follow Me and do what is right in every situation. You know the difference between right and wrong, and you can choose to be righteous. Refuse to give in to any temptation that would result in attitudes or actions that are contrary to My character and nature. I have called you to be one with Me, and when we are unified My thoughts will be your thoughts, and your actions will follow, says the Lord.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.






I am the Chief Cornerstone. I support the church with My powerful strength. I am from everlasting to everlasting and I never falter in My design to bring My church into that place of hope and love that I have prepared. I, the Chief Cornerstone, provide for My own. I provide the strength for My church to move forward into all that I have planned. I provide the foundation and power that enables My church to see the vision that I have given to those who seek My heart. Yes, you serve a God of GREAT vision, and My vision, as the Chief Cornerstone, is to see My beloved walking fortified by the the living God, Who gave all that you might come into this place of wonderment filled with the holiness and purity that only I can provide. I am the Chief Cornerstone. I am the One Who fortifies My church, strengthening it for each tomorrow. Do not lose hope. I am still at work. I am still strengthening, and I will bring you to that place of power and strength that the world will look on with awe, an awe that will inspire and enable My beloved to move forward into the hope that only I can provide!!!

I would have you take the land for My kingdom, says the Lord. But, I speak to you in spiritual terms. There are parts of your heart that have become bitter and hardened because of the difficulties you have faced. Those hard places of discouragement, rejection, and frustration must be plowed up like fallow ground and planted with seeds of faith and trust. You must take the ground of your own heart before you can do the external work.
Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

April 17, 2013. Have you been talking to God lately? Has He been talking to you? Speaking with the Lord each and every day will gain much for you. First, by so doing, you are demonstrating faith. Second, He is looking for faith to flow from your heart. With it, mountains are moved into the sea. Use it and miracles occur, problems get solved and impossibilities become possibilities. Your awesome destiny gets displayed before you. The world around you will see My hand on you. Speak often of Me about what I have done for you.
Mark 10:27 (NASB) "Looking at them, Jesus *said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." Ras Robinson


April 17, 2013. I see you processing and so far handling well what happened. This is good. You are learning to rely on Me. Continue doing what you are doing now. You are bringing your thoughts captive and remembering My obedience. My example is for you. You can be obedient as I was obedient. Your agenda can be our Father's agenda. Yes, I know you have preconceived ideas on how things are to work, but if you will have your ears tuned to Me, you will walk in victory beyond anything you imagine.
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NASB) "but just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." Bev Robinson

Word submitted for your discernment
by Yolanda Ballard

STAND EMBLAZED IN MY LOVE

Grab hold of the hem of My garment, and you will be healed. Escape the cares of this present age by basking in My intimate presence. Gather together with the saints, and worship Me endlessly like there is no tomorrow for each day that passes by brings you closer to My perfect will being established through you.

Line upon line and precept upon precept each step you are learning to be more like Me as you learn by basking in My intimate presence and feasting upon My word. You must eat all the fresh manna that you can while you have time. Grow strong as you receive the meat, the grain, the honey and the milk.

You need to learn each step of the way how to become a soldier in My end time army. For yes, you will go against the giants, but you have great warriors of old to pattern your life by their example.

Like King David, he knew Me so well because He delighted to be with Me. He was a man after My own heart, and He learned to trust in My faithfulness to carry out what he spoke forth and act upon in his faith. He stood against the giant with confidence, because he knew that I would meet him at his need and defend him.

Just learn by the great men of faith by their examples like Daniel who never backed down to compromise in order to please man. He committed his life unto death to please Me, and he had no fear.

So many walked by faith but still trembled in fear at what they had to face, but they kept their head set like flint to accomplish My will in their life. Thou I slay them they still trusted Me.

And I want you to be bold in the coming days. I want you to be strong, determined ones. No matter what you face, never back down for you will surely overcome by the word of your testimony, the blood of the Lamb, as you choose to love not your life unto death.

And as you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, but you will come out as fine gold, and when you are raised up with Me, you will hear me say that you were a good and faithful servant, and that I am pleased with you, and it is now time to enter into My rest.

The battle will be long and hard, but you must conquer every land that I bring you through. You must keep your eyes on My promises; with your Sword easily assessible for you have prepared it well to be able to use it at every incidence that you will come up against.

For yes, your Shield glistens with My power for you have hid My word in your heart. Your treasures are above where no thief can get to nor can any rust damage their value. For earthly treasures do not interest you any more. You have become Kingdom minded. You know your position seated with Me at the right hand of the Father high above all power and principality.

For yes, you are emblazed with My love, and in My love you will stand. That was what motivated you to become a mighty warrior, one who I can trust with My power and might and also with My glory. I knight you for battle. You wear My armor of royalty well for you are sons of the King, the Lord Most High, and I am blessed to call you Mine!

March on! Take the land! Tear down the strongholds! My kingdom will come, My will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

"A WAY OF ESCAPE"

April 18, 2013

Since the beginning of time people have been looking for a way of escape. They may be unhappy, insecure or just bored with their lives and they want to escape reality. Many are looking for a way of escape from emotional pain, physical pain, tormenting thoughts from their past, financial difficulties or toxic relationships. People find ways of escape through alcohol, drugs, eating, sleeping, watching television, or by spending hours on the internet. Some Christians lives are not going in the direction in which they thought that it would go. They want to go back to their past but they can't because they came too far to turn back now. They feel stuck in the middle of two realities, the natural world and the spiritual realm.

There is a scripture in the book of John chapter six where many of Jesus disciples no longer wanted to follow Him and they turned back. When Jesus asked His twelve apostles if they would go back, Simon Peter responded: Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Jesus has made a way of escape for us. It is not to escape reality but to come into a higher reality of His nature and His provision.

The Lord says, I have provided a way of escape. It is not a way to escape from reality but it is a place where you will make your relationship with Me part of your reality. It is a way of escape from adversity. It is a place of refuge where you could cast all your cares on Me, as you allow Me to bring your life into alignment with My spiritual principles. As you learn how to bring your natural situations into the light of My word, you will find your dilemmas will begin to cease. As you seek My wisdom, you will find the answers to your problems. It is a place to come during trying times. As you take your eyes off your circumstances and turn your focus on Me you will learn how to enter into this place. As you come into this place of abiding in Me, you will experience My ways and learn My voice. As you come into this place of rest you will develop your communication with Me and find peace. This is the place where revelation is deposited, My gifts are cultivated and My Word comes alive. This is where you will receive refreshing to your soul.

It is not to escape reality but it is a way of escape out of business and the distractions of the world. I invite you into this place with Me where you could lay your burdens down. I have provided a way of escape from temptations. Here you will find safety and peace. Allow Me to usher you into that secret place and introduce Myself to you in a new way. As you learn how to dwell in this place, you will no longer live in turmoil but you will encounter the shalom of heaven. As you learn to abide in My presence, you will find fullness of joy. You will be free from the fears and the concerns of what your future may hold. You will be free from others opinions of you. My anointing will be released to you and you will encounter Me in a new way. You will no longer be conformed to the ways of the world as you learn My realities and submit your life to My ways. As you come into My presence, you will find shalom because this is where My glory dwells says the Lord.

Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Psalm 32:7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah

John 6:66-69 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away? But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Everything that manifests outwardly begins in the heart. Don't allow your heart to become defiled by hardness or bitterness of soul. Be purified and liberated from everything that would hold you in bondage, says the Lord. Let sanctification and honor have its perfect work as you take control of your thoughts and emotions.

Matthew 12:33-37 "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

April 18, 2013. Your family and friends agree that you are a kind person, treating others with kindness. People have been telling you how kind you are. You have not always been kind, but have developed that strength of kindness from the pain and suffering you have known. Judgments of others coming from your mouth have devastated some folks. This has broken your heart. Godly sorrow paid you a visit, giving you opportunity to repent. Some of the judgments you made came back upon you. So now, you specialize in kindness and mercy. Selah!
James 2:13 (MSG)For if you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly. Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time." Ras Robinson


April 18, 2013. There is no sea too turbulent, no water too murky, no mountain too high that you cannot overcome. My Spirit is within you, beside you, behind you and is leading you through what you are in the midst of and still before you. I am saying this because you feel alone. You are not alone. My child, My precious one I will not leave you I will be with you, leading every step of the way. You will conquer all obstacles and you will do it with grace and wisdom.
1 John 5:4-5 (MOFF) "for whatever is born of God conquers the world. Our faith, that is the conquest which conquers the world. Who is the world's conqueror but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?" Bev Robinson

April 19, 2013. Something good is about to happen to you. While you were not aware, the Lord was making His plans to pour out specific blessings for you. One blessing may surprise you. It is something you have counted on happening that will not occur as you thought. God is protecting you at this point from something that could bring disappointment and sustained frustration. This is a time to keep your eyes on Jesus. He is your source for wisdom and peace. He brings heavenly gifts to bless people. Ask and receive.



Psalm 19:14 (NASB) "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer." Ras Robinson

April 19, 2013. This is a relatively quiet time, a time of peace. There is just an occasional skirmish, but even they are not out of control. Now is the time you need to be reinforcing your spirit. Now is a time to be solid in your thought life...solid on Me and My ways. Stack away thoughts of My goodness and how I brought you through things in the past. Let your mind take up residence on the good peaceful side. This strengthens your body, soul and spirit for times to come. Be prepared.



Ephesians 6:18 (NASB) "With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints," Bev Robinson

Vision: A man drawing back a bow string to full extension.

The Lord is saying that He is stretching you. This feels like an exhausting process, but in reality it is exactly the opposite. When a man draws back the string on a bow he is putting energy into the system which is stored up as potential. Even so, you are not being drained, but rather trained and becoming a storehouse for the potential energy of anointing. You are about to be released, but rest assured that this process of stretch and release will continue. I have designed each challenging circumstance to teach you that in Me you are more able than you have imagined. Be strong in My grace!
