Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
June 5, 25 Circumstances have led you down a narrow path of difficult decisions, but you have been met with opposition. Carefully examine your reasoning to be sure that what you have decided is truly righteous and beneficial for everyone concerned. Trust Me to bring correction where correction is due before you forge ahead, says the Lord, and be pragmatic in your evaluation.

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.

June 5, 2025. I want you to take a moment and think how you are acting child-like. You say, “Well, it’s not good to act like a child.” Our society has sold you that concept, not Me. I want you as a little child. I want you free, unencumbered, joyful, loud, obedient, loving and believing…all those things associated with a child. It’s easy for you to believe when you are unfettered with doubt. Leap into My arms just like a little one.

Matthew 18:3-5 “And He said, I say to you, If you should not turn and become as the children, in no way should you enter into the kingdom of the heavens. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, this one is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me.” Robin Robinson Bohlin

You have introduced many to the saving knowledge of My Son. Many times, this has occurred face to face, one on one. You have seen even more come to salvation in great numbers at large gatherings. At times you have wondered if these converts were real and if they continued in their new faith. Some of this you may never know on a firsthand basis. But you can trust that My love will supernaturally redeem them and guide them to their eternal home. My word in Scripture promises this to be true.

Exodus 15:13 "With Your unfailing love You lead the people You have redeemed. In Your might, You guide them to Your sacred home." Ras Robinson

You were in the middle of something before you realized there was a problem. You knew you needed to do something else before it was too late, but thought there was not enough time left to handle it. This will not be as big of a problem as you think, but you will have to have more information. You feel rushed, but no one is rushing you. Others don't really mind waiting even though you think they do. Slow things down and take the time you need to make the right decision. I know the right decision. You need to ask Me, but don't act until you hear what I say.

John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." Bev Robinson

June 5, 2012. (Reposted) Peter would not be denied. Peter thought he would be the last person who would say he didn't know Me three times before the rooster crowed. Surely not me, he thought. Yet he did exactly as I said he would do. He could have wallowed in self-pity. He could have hidden in the darkest corner of Jerusalem for the remainder of his days. Instead he had revelation knowledge of who I said he was. Believe in who I say you are. Don't live a lifestyle of condemnation. Keep your mind renewed. Stay determined. Live out the present. Peter knew I believed in him. I believe in you as well. Move forward.

Matthew 16:17-18 "Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Kevin Robinson

Surrendering your life to God brings His kingdom into your life. Wise are those who know they are not the masters of their lives. Your goals in life are not your own, but rather your goals are to say what He says and do what He does. Take then this opportunity to yield and be at peace with your Maker. In His kingdom Jesus is always Lord and Master. Like the rich young ruler of Scripture was advised, you do well to sell all and seek first His kingdom. Peace, joy and righteousness reign there. Burdens are lifted from your shoulders. You fall to your knees and surrender all over again without thinking or resistance. In that position, your life is refreshed and transformed. Surrender.

Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually helpless. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them." Ras Robinson

June 4, 25 You have been in a quandary about an issue that will not seem to go away. You cannot give up; you must press through. There were things you did not have a clear understanding of, but you will gain further insight that will clarify the way forward so that you can move on. Have belief that I will make a path in this unforgiving wilderness that will lead you to victory, says the Lord.
Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

June 4, 2025. Steal away with Me to our secret place. Your place can be different than anyone else’s. You know the place where we talk unbridled and unrestrained. When I heard the Lord say this, I just giggled. My secret place is mowing the grass. I have always and will always love mowing grass. The Lord comes to me during this time and openly discusses things with me. Find your secret place where you and the Father can chat!
Psalm 27:5 “For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.” Robin Robinson Bohlin

June 4, 2025. Are you a balloon or a brick? Are you set in your mindset, your ways? Or will you let the wind of My Spirit take you where I want to take you? I am ready to take you places you have never been before. Lay down your preconceived ideas and your old ways. Break out of old mindsets. I am going to take you on the greatest ride and journey of your life so far.
Isaiah 43:18-19 “Do not remember the past events; pay no attention to the things of old. Look, I am to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.“
2 Corinthians 5:17 “Now, if anyone is in Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.” Jennifer Peikert

Something keeps blocking your efforts to connect with someone. Right now you aren't sure if it is the devil or Me. You sure don't want to find this out after the fact. You want this so badly your judgment has become cloudy. Complete surrender of your emotions submitted to your spirit will be necessary before you will know. Your spirit completely submitted to My Spirit is the only way you will absolutely know. Stop in your pursuit until you find out. Keep your heart in the right place with your emotions in check. Deep down you want only My best. Wait on Me and you will be able to see clearly.
1 Corinthians 2:11-12 "No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us." Bev Robinson

June 4, 2012. (Reposted) How wisely are you using your time? Is your time spent satisfying your own desires and pleasures? Is your time used in a self-sacrificing manner fulfilling everyone else's needs before your own? You place so much value on time and the lack thereof. Will you devote as much time to Me and My ways as you do toward other matters? Invest your time wisely. Seek My face to see what I am doing, to hear what I am saying. There is so much noise clattering for your attention. Filter out the racket in order to hone and refine your devotion toward Me. I yearn and desire for quality time with you.
Psalm 27:8 "My heart said to thee, I have diligently sought thy face: thy face, O Lord, I will seek." Kevin Robinson

Words became important to me as a young man. A teacher suggested I read Reader's Digest monthly and take the "Word Power" test quizzing the meaning of 20 words. This was raw meat to my hungry mind. As an adult, I tried to pick five new words daily to memorize and use in conversations. It was fun and I taught it to my children. In a recent two hour lunch with my son, who now writes for us, he made mention of his appreciation for the foundation in vocabulary he received growing up. I told him how astonished I am at his literary abilities. He pointed upward to God twice in that conversation. Be careful of the foundations you lay. Children are listening.
Proverbs 4:20-23 "My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body. Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life." Ras Robinson

Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
June 3, 25 When you dump down in self-pity, you need to begin to count your blessings. Look at what you have spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically instead of what you do not have. There is much to be thankful for. You belong to Me, says the Lord, and I take care of My own.

Isaiah 46:3-4 Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been upheld by Me from birth, who have been carried from the womb: Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

June 3, 2025. You have heard the phrase, “Stop and smell the roses.” I recently saw a child examining and smelling rose blossoms to the chagrin of her mother. The child was “into” that rose. The Lord says, slow down, take time to examine things, use your senses, stop being in a hurry. When you rush, you make mistakes. It’s like carrying too many bags of groceries in at the same time. You run the risk of breaking something. Slow down and enjoy life!

Jeremiah 2:25 “Slow down. Take a deep breath. What’s the hurry? Why wear yourself out? Just what are you after anyway? But you say, ‘I can’t help it. I’m addicted to alien gods. I can’t quit.’” Robin Robinson Bohlin

June 3, 2025. I see that your feelings were hurt, I'm telling you that you aren’t meant to sit at every table. It’s time to back away from those tables. You are a child of the Most High and I’ve positioned you at My table. That is the place where you will find peace. You will find wisdom but most of all it is a place for you to be satisfied in My Love. You’ve been invited; will you join Me today?

Revelation 19:9 “Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God.” Pam Jackson

There has been an error in judgment. You were considering something but were not ready to make a decision. You allowed someone to talk you into it. You had some doubt but went ahead. At the time it seemed like something that could be worked out later. Now you realize you moved too quickly. What do you do now? Do you go ahead because many people now know? Do you swallow your pride and back out before it is too late? Don't be overwhelmed. Right now you don't see how any good can come out of this. Listen to Me, obey Me and all will turn out good. I have the answer.

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." Bev Robinson

June 3, 2012. (Reposted) To whom are you accountable and answerable? The correct answer is Me. What measures are or have been established to keep yourself held in check? Are you a ship without a rudder? Are you being responsible? Are you under authority? I stayed within the boundaries established by My Father. I made time to be alone with My Father in the wilderness. Those times were for strengthening of My soul and for encouragement. Submit and yield to My way. Establish a partnership with someone of intense godly character so you can have resolve in your behavior. Always live irreproachably, blamelessly and holy. Keep the lines of communication open.

1 Peter 3:14-16 "But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ." Kevin Robinson

June 2, 25 Reset and rethink your plans for the future. Times are changing, and your goals need to be in line with where you are headed instead of where you have been. There are things you have not considered until now, and you need an update. I will be with you to direct and guide you. Do not be afraid, says the Lord.

Ephesians 4:20-24 But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

June 2, 2025. You are in a season of change. Just as the seasons change year to year, so change is inevitable in your life. I know that change is uncomfortable for you. You feel vulnerable and unstable. But My child, I want you to embrace the change. For when you do, you will progress and grow with exceeding greatness. Things must change in order for stagnation not to set in. Let Me stir your waters – the ripples produce life!

Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."Robin Robinson Bohlin

June 2, 2025. You see death as a bad thing. But I want you to remember that I have the keys to death and hell. If you know Me, do not fear death because I have won the battle and the enemy has no authority in your life unless you give it to him. Satan is defeated and I have the keys. I say to you that My love, perfect love, casts out fear. Discover the peace that is yours!

Revelation 1:17-18 “When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.’” Jonas Bohlin

Here you are again on the cusp of a hole. You know what is ahead because you remember the warnings of destructive behavior. You don't want to do this, but you feel a pull you have felt before. The devil has crept up out of the hole to grab and pull you in. If you don't resist him and fight him off he will pull you down and down farther than before. When at the bottom you know there will be regret. Resist the temptation NOW! Fight him off. Back away from the hole. Turn around. My child I will meet you there. We will rejoice greatly and celebrate your victory together.

Luke 15:22-24 "But his father said to the servants, 'Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.' So the party began." Bev Robinson

June 2, 2012. (Reposted) You have read and heard about signs and wonders being performed through My mighty hand and outstretched arm. They were executed through Moses and through Jesus, as well as the Apostles. Yes, they are still being done today. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that these signs and wonders are being accomplished. We as One grant favor so that you might believe through signs, wonders and miracles. Be careful not to put your hope or reliance in man, but rather in Me. Seek first My kingdom and for My will to be accomplished. Place all of your belief and trust in Me. I am the truth and the way.

Hebrews 2:1-4 "It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off. If the old message delivered by the angels was valid and nobody got away with anything, do you think we can risk neglecting this latest message, this magnificent salvation? First of all, it was delivered in person by the Master, then accurately passed on to us by those who heard it from Him. All the while God was validating it with gifts through the Holy Spirit, all sorts of signs and miracles, as He saw fit." Kevin Robinson

The Trumpet by Bill Burns:
June 1, 2015 Stand tall. Take My hand and walk with Me. Talk with Me. Listen to My voice. All that you need I will give to you because you are connected to Me by My Spirit. It is important in these days that you are one with Me because the days are evil. Do not allow the darkness of these days to overtake you. Reach up. Stand tall. Stay connected to Me, and you will be victorious in all things, says the Lord.

John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Small Straws by Marsha Burns:June 1, 2015 Beloved, I am asking you to re-purpose the energy you spend on criticism and judgment to become tolerance and love. Anger and vitriol will only result in greater darkness and separation from Me, says the Lord. Kindness and consideration for others will elevate them and lift you up as well. Remove the veil that separates you, and rise up to fulfill My mandate.

John 15:12 This is My Commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

All you have to do is tell the truth. Be sure it is mixed with kindness. The combinations of these two; kindness and truth will give you favor for your situation. I know the other party sees things from an altogether different point of view. What is truth to them is not truth to you. The reason is you are seeing this conflict from two different points of view. But if you do your part you will be believed and ultimately be protected. Your part is all you have to be concerned with. You will not change the other's mind. But do as I say and all will be well with you.

Proverbs 3:3-4 "Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man." Bev Robinson

June 1, 2012. (Reposted) You have become double-minded in your decision making. In fact, right now you are even being swayed by the slightest of wind that crosses your path. Align yourself with My Word. Retrieve the specific instruction I gave you. Retrace your steps to the point where you last heard My voice with clarity. Don't be distracted by the latest noise-maker to come your way. Focus on Me. Slam the door on those things which are creating confusion in your life. Take time to earnestly seek after Me. Will you make Me your primary focus? I will give you pinpoint direction that you earnestly want and need. Trust solely in Me.

Proverbs 16:20 "He who gives attention to the Word shall find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD." Kevin Robinson

There is trouble ahead. Turn on your emergency flasher lights. Your belief is about to be tested once more. Things in your life lately have borne out in the happiest and most peaceful seasons you have experienced. You can now expect, in fact you may now begin to experience, some of the troubles that lie ahead. Some of what is coming is simply a factor of your aging. Do not dread nor lose hope. Avoid negatively anticipating the worst. What is coming will speak for itself. Be sure to read the signs accurately. Allow your inner man some fresh air of renewal. Should you suffer, it will only increase the glory I have already placed on you. There is trouble ahead.

2 Corinthians 4:16-17 "Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison," Ras Robinson
