May 3, 2016 SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: I speak to those of you who feel as though you have been wrapped in a cocoon. ![]() ![]() This position has shielded you from experiencing life as it really is and has kept you from the freedom that you crave. I tell you truthfully that it is now time to break free from this silent, inactive place to realize your potential. It is My desire that you become the best version of yourself possible, says the Lord. Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. |

![]() ![]() ![]() It is a time of My mercy and yet at the same time I Am judging the nations of the earth.The two edged sword is sharp and will do a cutting of all that is not of Me. Nothing will be left standing that is wood, hay and stubble for I am searching the hearts of men. I am going to and fro in the earth and looking for that intercessor that will stand in the gap in intercession during this time of great pruning that is coming even to My church. My bride is being pruned so that she will bear more fruit for I am coming for a pure bride without spot or wrinkle. The wrinkles are being ironed out and the hot iron is being applied. and all will be burned up that is not of Me. Allow My fire to burn within you and The fire is being stoked seven times hotter burn out all that is not of Me. Allow Me to melt and mould you into My image. What a glory will be revealed in you as you stand willingly in the refiners fire. The fires of redemption are burning throughout the land and will produce the fruit of righteousness. Come to Me all you that are willing to stand in the refiners fire. Come to Me all you that are willing to be changed. Come to Me all you that are willing to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God. Come close to the fire and jump into the fire and allow the changes to come in your heart. All that is evil, all that defiles will be gone. Come close to the fire and embrace it. says the Lord. This cutting back, stripping away, purging fire is leading you to the greatest promotion of all, the greatest reward of all.. JESUS!!!! He is leading you back to that place in deeper ways of “ALL I NEED IS JESUS. I JUST NEED TO SEE YOU! I AM DESPERATE FOR YOU” The desperation of His heart to connect with you in new and fresh ways, that new invitation of intimacy, is meet with your desperation to SEE HIM, blossoming in you, purity of heart, that is going to take you higher, further and wider than you have ever been before. WHO IS THIS COMING UP OUT OF THE WILDERNESS, JUST LIKE HIM, LEANING ON HER BELOVED?

May 3, 2016. Wrapped in swaddling clothes could be a metaphor for how your heavenly Father sees you. You are lovingly protected and set free and continually blessed by Him. In Jesus’ name, may His deliverance and blessings catch up to and overtake you. Several godly and loving individuals have given to me original works of their art. Most hang on the wall of my study office reminding me of their love. Let God send and give His love to you even as you give yours. Psalm 3:8 (NIV) “From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.” Ras Robinson May 3, 2016. Keep your heart pure before Me. I know thoughts come that you can’t help and occasionally you act on them. When you realize it and miss the straight arrow mark I have placed before you, you repent quickly. May that always be so, and it will. You spot Satan quickly when he tries to pull the wool over your eyes. Beloved, keep on doing that and I have great things ahead for you. I always have good for you. Stay pure. Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB) “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” Bev Robinson May 3, 2016. Embrace the notion of being willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish the task at hand. Right now no one else can meet the need that needs to be taken care of like you can. It is vital for you to press forward, knowing that your work is not in vain or futile in any way. Listen attentively to My voice and be obedient to My instructions. Align your spirit willingly with Mine. Matthew 26:41 (NIV) “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Kevin Robinson |

![]() The Cocoon by Judy Bauman http://lit4ever.org/revivalforum/index.php?PHPSESSID=b23dbdff152252e9af13f7dcfa6c2cef&topic=26346.msg40981;topicseen#new About a year after surrendering my life to the Lord, I was sitting in my room when all at once I saw a white scroll roll half way down the top, right corner of the wall. This scene played on it like a movie: I saw a man who was distraught and weeping bitterly. He was bent down on one knee and his face was buried in his hands as he wept bitterly. He writhed in grief, despair and self-loathing. His sobs were heart-wrenching. I felt desperate to help him, but I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, a hand appeared above him holding out a Bible. The man looked up in his broken state and with hope in his eyes he reached up and accepted the gift being offered to him. As he opened the Book, the words came off the pages like silk thread. The beautiful strand began to wrap around the man and encircled him until I couldn’t see anything but a large white cocoon. The cocoon was very still for a period of time. Then it slowly began to rock back and forth, and soon there was more and more movement. I could tell there was a struggle going on inside. The cocoon began to split and then suddenly it tore open. A huge butterfly adorned in stunning, heavenly colors came bursting out; it quickly flew across the room in front of me and out my window! It was bigger, more vibrant, exquisite and beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined. I looked back at the screen in the right corner of my room hoping for an instant replay, but the scroll rolled up and disappeared. This experience spoke deeply to me. The silk thread is symbolic of how God’s word can ‘cocoon’ and transform us from a wretched state of being to a new creation. The butterfly represents our being reborn of the Holy Spirit and our ability to take flight in Him. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 This is not possible without having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus and accepting the gift offered to us by the Father. When we receive Jesus, the word made flesh, as our Savior we have promises that the Father will fulfill in us. Like the butterfly, our transformation is unmistakable! And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 Without God’s Spirit working to transform us, we are broken, naked, wretched, miserable, poor, blind and lost. When we allow ourselves to be transformed by His word, we become whole, clothed, joyful, loved, and rich with wisdom and hope! Until we come to that broken place, we can never know how much we truly need God. When the Word of God is opened up to a broken heart, then the Lord can make miraculous changes in even the most miserable of souls. His Word will accomplish the purpose for which He sent it. “Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 ![]() It takes time to make a transition into a life IN CHRIST, but the beauty of being a new creation is worth the struggle that occurs on the inside of the ‘cocoon’. Without the struggle, the butterfly, like us, would not be made strong enough to take flight. As we invest in other people’s lives by ‘handing’ them a Bible in God’s timing, may we bring the transforming power of the Father’s love into their lives. It is well worth it to invest our own resources to get Bibles into the hands of those who need it. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.” Luke 12:34 Will we be ready and willing to give what is needed to bring the Father’s prodigals home when they have ‘come to themselves’? If we do, we might just see the transforming power of God’s cocoon! |

Get ready for the Holy Spirit to move on you like you have never seen before. And when this cocoon breaks, I think some of you are going to be the most shocked at what He has already done in your lives."

U wanna B Perfect????? Your goal is to do everything according to the word of God. By 'doing' and aligning with the written Word, you become the living Word of God!
Starting right now is critically important. Success and prosperity will come because you will make God’s word uppermost in importance. You will meditate on it continuously. One important change for you is to always have your mouth full of His word. Speak His word with the faith He has given you. ![]() Your goal is to do everything according to the word of God. By 'doing' and aligning with the written Word, you become the living Word of God! You are changed and transformed into the image of Jesus. This will come through gifts of wisdom and obedience. I give the wisdom and you provide the obedience. In this way, you, yourself, will make your way successful and prosperous. Joshua 1:8 (NASB) “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.” In all of the issues of overcoming, I am raising the standards so that My children will learn to crush satan under their feet through peace. It is a new mindset, a new walk into sabbath rest of perfect belief. As they learn to walk in the fear of the Lord, all will mature in their faith and come to peace that what comes into their lives is for My purpose. This gives them the rest to seek My face on to how to respond appropriately in each difficulty. It is a process of maturation and focus. I am slowly maturing and turning the focus of full time warriors onto My goodness and how to walk in the fear of their God. I am seeing an alignment to the Word. Listen up! Changes in lifestyle. Obedient faith. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Follow. Step up. Begin to grow. Are you confident? Jesus is your way. What is between you and Jesus? Walk, leap and skip over the walls. Take out the stumbling blocks. Many times we are surrounded by those who need Jesus Christ but are not Christian. They need a miracle in their lives. That is the time to witness the signs and wonders, by putting God on the line. That is the time when God wants to show His best. You can say to them in faith, "My God will fix your problem if you give your life to Him. But if you want God to heal you, then give yourself to Jesus right away." Then watch and see what God will do. Stay close to Me dear ones! You cannot enter My kingdom without tribulations. Do not be apathetic in your faith when lives are literally hanging in the balance. Seize the day with each progressive advancement. Bind the opposition and release My life and light to dispel the dark places. Keep Your focus on Me. Keep your goals simple, press through and don’t retreat. Yes always wait on Me for each step, but when I say move, then release your faith and cut down the spiritual obstructions that impede what I have called you to do. I will strengthen you! I will comfort you! Be strong and of good courage, neither be afraid, I AM with you. Heavenly armies fight and move with you as you use the sword of My Word.
