Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes.
So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."  John 3:8

May 12, 2008:  You are on the very cusp of breaking over into the next facet of this season.   Your experiences will present a brilliant illustration of My work that will ultimately cause you to increase in a variety of ways.  I will open your spiritual eyes to see with greater definition the aspects that make up your spiritual journey so that you can more completely cooperate with Me, says the Lord.  Yield to the moving of My Spirit.  Matthew 13:17  For assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

May 13, 2008:  Be quiet so you can discern and perceive the hindering forces that create confusion and misunderstandings.  This is a perverse spirit sent to keep you from accomplishing your goals and purposes by undermining your confidence.  Break through these barriers by placing your faith and trust in Me that I will supernaturally guide you through this maze.  I am with you to lead you into a broad place where there is no restraint, says the Lord.  Psalms 118:5 I called on the LORD in distress; the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.

May 14, 2008:  Many of my people are feeling off-balance and even unstable at this time.  You will make it through this period of instability if you will determine not to allow these feelings to throw you into a tail spin.  This too shall pass, but you must be persistent in your efforts to push through.  You will find your spiritual equilibrium by taking a firm stand in faith that I am the solid Rock on which you stand, says the Lord, and that I will uphold you and not allow you to go down.  Matthew 14:26-31 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.  But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer!  It is I; do not be afraid."   And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."   So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.   But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"  And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

May 15, 2008:  Refuse to allow the enemy to plant a seed of doubt and unbelief in your heart.  As you determine to take a stand and believe My Word, says the Lord, you will gain strength and see the fulfillment of My promises.  Do not allow your circumstances or feelings to undermine your faith on any matter.  And, rejoice with inexpressible joy, for you shall see My manifest presence when you believe.  Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes.
So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."  John 3:8

May 9, 2008:  Beloved, clear your mind and silence your flesh.  Things have not worked out as you planned, but I am bringing you by a way that you have not known, and I am doing things in your life that you have not expected.  These things are for your good.  I want to bring you to a higher spiritual level where you can see clearly that your position in My kingdom is not about your desires or satisfying your flesh or meeting your financial expectations; it is about living in the Spirit where My purposes become your purposes without question, says the Lord.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

May 8, 2008:  Refuse to allow your current challenges to overwhelm you.  Stay calm and take life one bite at a time.  Trust Me to lead you one step at a time.  You will need wisdom in order to know how to proceed, so you must ask and wait for My download, says the Lord, for I will indeed show you what to do next.  Stress will swallow you up if you allow uncertainty and fear to rule.  Be strong and stay steady.  Psalm 112:5-8 A good man deals graciously and lends; he will guide his affairs with discretion.  Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.  He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.  His heart is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

May 7, 2008:  Beloved, I am stretching out My hand to heal what has become diseased, disabled, wounded, and broken.  I am even now releasing a supernatural impartation that is available for all who can believe and receive.  This impartation will cause you to be completely renewed and restored so that your affliction will lose its hold and become only a distant memory.  No longer be afraid of this infirmity, but rise up in the strength and purpose of My will, says the Lord.  Hebrews 12:12-13 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

May 6, 2008:  Quiet your mind and emotions and refuse to allow confusion and stress to rule in your life.  The enemy will do all that he can to keep you from attaining to the peace that I have made available to you.  Take time to rest, regroup, and resist the pressure that causes you to be hasty.  I am leading you, but I'm just ahead of you.  You don't have to run to catch up.  Stop long enough to get your bearings so that you are not taken off course at this juncture, says the Lord.  Philippians 4:6-7  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

May 5, 2008:  “You will do whatever it takes to go for the gold (that which is of the Spirit).  You will not be satisfied with silver (pertaining to the soul) or bronze (associated with flesh.)  You have set your heart on doing your best to reach your greatest potential in Christ.  You have fallen short many times, but you are ready to move beyond mediocrity, compromise, and self-satisfaction to reach the goal and obtain the prize.  And, you are more determined than ever to fulfill your kingdom destiny, for you know the time is now.”

“These times are golden, and you are no longer willing to waste precious time and energy in the spiritual dissipation of disappointment, grief and regret.  This quality decision will result in a maturity that will not only bring honor to Me,” says the Lord, “but will draw others into a greater level of commitment that will inevitable bring the same results.”

“I call to the ends of the earth to a people who will make a covenant of salt with Me.  It is a covenant of strength and loyalty.  It requires commitment, faithfulness and obedience, and it will establish a permanent and satisfying relationship between us for eternity.  Mine is to keep My promises to you, and yours is pure devotion free from corruption,” says the Lord.

Matthew 5: 13-16 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.  You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

April 28, 2008:  I have deposited a seed of desire in your heart that will begin to acquire definition by taking conscious form.  You will first be aware of a stirring in your spirit like the fluttering of the first movements of an unborn child.  This desire when it has fully matured will set you on a course that will bring forth destiny.  And, you will be moved by the irresistible power of My Spirit to establish you in kingdom purpose.  You must resist the temptation to define this seed of desire according to your mind or emotions.  This is not a desire of the soul or of thoughts and feelings; it is the call of the Spirit, says the Lord.  Be sensitive to these subtle yearnings and yield to this powerful work of My Spirit.  Ephesians 1:17 -19 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.

April 29, 2008:  Prepare your heart to receive, for I am releasing a wave of power that will sweep over you and will demonstrate the strength of My intensions for this season.  But, you must be open and surrendered if you are to catch this wave.  Come, I say, with an openness to receive of My Spirit.  Release yourself from religious duty and the pressure to perform.  This will be My gift to you and not something you can cause to happen, nor can you earn the right to partake of it.  Yours is only to position yourself by faith to receive, says the Lord.  Romans 5:1-2  Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

April 30, 2008:  Beloved, if you can receive it, I am revealing to your own heart the places where you are motivated by selfish ambition, for this motivation hinders your freedom in the Spirit.  You cannot serve yourself and serve Me at the same time, says the Lord.  This form of idolatry is rampant in Christian circles and must be brought down and removed.  Otherwise, you cannot move forward in My purposes for you, and this double-minded position prevents you from receiving the fullness of My blessings.  Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

May 1, 2008:  In the process of time, you are ending a cycle that began about seven years ago.  And, you will undergo an accelerated separation from the past that will create a division that cannot be bridged.  Certainly, you will never be able to go back, nor should you look back.  This chasm is ever widening and your spiritual landscape is ever changing, but you can only move into the next phase of your existence as you have freedom to do so.  Disappointments and regrets from the past can keep you bound and unable to progress, so now is the time to completely release everything that brought a sense of failure or reproach.  Let go and be free, says the Lord.  Philippians 3:13 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.

May 2, 2008:  Take the time and put forth the energy to position your soul under the rule of My Spirit, and set a watch for emotional responses.  If the devil can get you to entertain disappointment or discouragement, he can strap you with a spirit of heaviness.  Heaviness will dull your discernment and make you vulnerable to other attacks of the enemy.  When you become a victim of these attacks then victory will be nearly impossible to attain.  Rise up in the strength of My Spirit, says the Lord, and be free.  Isaiah 61:1-3  "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."

 

April 21, 2008:  My people, hear My voice:  I would have you rise up out of the mire of adversity with a voice of joy and a heart of gladness.  It is My intention to bless My people exceedingly abundantly above and beyond anything that you could imagine.  I cannot bless you, however, if you remain on a worldly level.  You must rise up.  Indeed the whole of My word speaks of rising up, of ascending before My throne, for you have an invitation to come boldly before My throne of grace.  Come with anticipation of My goodness.  Come with great joy and expectation of those things that I am about to bestow upon you and those things that I am about to do in your life that will carry you on the path of destiny.  This is the fullness of time when things are coming to completion, and your destiny must be formed and brought to perfection.  That which I have purposed for you must begin to take place.  As you begin to gain vision, you will understand My purposes, and you will come with a heart of thanksgiving because I have touched, healed, provided for, and carried you when you could not walk.  My kingdom will fully manifest in demonstration.  Rise up and believe, says the Lord.
 

April 21, 2008:  Beloved, I am with you in your labor, for I will empower you to bring forth.  You must, however, learn the cycle of push and rest, push and rest, push and rest.  You are entering into a time that will produce vitality and liberty in abundance.  You are leaving behind the days of the dark night of the soul and bursting forth with a new and radiant hope, says the Lord.  Job 11:16-18 Because you would forget your misery, and remember it as waters that have passed away, and your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.  And you would be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.

April 22, 2008:  Your progress has been significant, but you are not out of the woods yet.  You must continue to press on while maintaining hope and vision.  Be strong and resolute.  You do not want to give up when you are on the very threshold of breakthrough.  Exercise patience and perseverance.  Soon you will see that it has been  worth the effort, says the Lord.  Persist!  Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

April 23, 2008:  There are details that you have overlooked, but I will bring to your remembrance the things that need your attention.  Be careful to not brush aside the gentle nudge that comes as a reminder.  Do not procrastinate, for these promptings will need immediate action in the window of time that is provided.  And, do not be afraid that you will forget or overlook even one important detail because I am truly with you to cause you to remember, says the Lord.  Psalms 138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands.

April 24, 2008:  It has been difficult for you to see My plans for you because you can only see where you are at any given moment.  But, if you will set your heart to see and understand, I will unfold the overall design before your eyes so that you can see how the small pieces of your life fit into the big picture.  This long-term view will give you hope and boost your faith to know that I have begun a good work in you and I will bring it to completion according to My perfect will, says the Lord.  Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

April 25, 2008:  I am opening a great effective door of evangelism for you, but you will not be able to go through using religious techniques that have been established through what you have been taught.  This will be a move of My Spirit like nothing you have ever experienced.  I have equipped you and prepared you, and now you will be able to go forth with a pure heart and attitude that will not bring attention to yourself and your ministry, but it will only bring the revelation and glory of My kingdom.  Only the humble in heart will be able to go through this door of opportunity, says the Lord.  1 Corinthians 16:9 For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

April 14, 2008:  The times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord.  Come to the place in the spirit realm where the eyes of your understanding are opened.  It is in this place that you see beyond the natural and look into the reality of My kingdom.  Spread your wings, beloved, and come.  Allow the wind of My Spirit to carry you into the heavenlies.  You will find that every care is blown away by My wind and every hindrance is removed.  The enemy cannot dwell in the places where you are carried to.  You will find yourself far above the devil's realm, far above all that he has brought into your life, far above worry, anxiety and fear.  You will rise above sickness and deception.  This is the place of the glory of the kingdom where My anointings flow to each one, for each purpose found only in Me and directed by Me and brought to you by My Spirit.  Be like the dove and spread your wings for the wind to carry you, says the Lord.   And, My children, know that this ascent is a practiced thing birthed out of a desire to know, hear, and be one with your Creator.  This moving by the Spirit and life in the Spirit, this ascension into the heaven's glory, the opportunities to walk into the valley of vision are all practiced things as you learn to abide in the power of My presence.

"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes.
So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."  John 3:8

April 1, 2008:  You have faced and dealt with many challenges, and I know your heart cries out for closure and resolution.  But, I tell you that this transitional time of bringing order out of chaos is not yet finished.  There are still issues that must be settled before you can move on.  Even though your involvement in these situations has caused you to believe that it is all about you, the truth is that everyone involved is being aroused to greater spiritual integrity, which is the order of the day.  This is not only about you!   Be patient as you maneuver your way through this maze of motives, behaviors and actions, and you will soon be released to a new level of spiritual accountability and truth, says the Lord.  1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

April 2, 2008:  Take every opportunity to trust Me for all that you need.  This is no time to allow your circumstances to send you into a tail spin.  Be strong and keep the faith, for I see your need, and the price has been paid on Calvary for answered prayer.  Push through the fear that comes from looking at the problem through natural eyes.  Rise up in the Spirit to receive what I have already supplied, says the Lord.  Matthew 6:6-8 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.  And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.  Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him."

April 3, 2008:  Stay on the path that I have chosen for you, and do not deviate from it.  Watch carefully for subtle seductions that have the potential to take you away from your primary responsibilities and purpose, and refuse to be enticed.  Now is a time when you can re-establish and reinforce good boundaries, not only for others, but for yourself as well.  Remind yourself of the elements of your spiritual foundation, for this is what will sustain you in the days ahead, says the Lord.  Psalm 1:1-3  Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

April 4, 2008:  I have been hearing the word connectivity in my spirit over the past few days.  Connectivity is the ability to make a connection and the state of being connected.  And, the Lord says:  The enemy is challenging and hindering your ability to make and maintain spiritual connections.  This attack is first intended to separate you from Me, says the Lord, and additionally to bring division between My people, for he knows that if you will stay connected and unified his work of destruction is thwarted.  Yours is to defeat the devil's purposes by staying connected.  Ephesians 4:1-6  I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
