You Stood the Test of Time

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

The struggle has been daunting, but you have persevered.  You have been tested and found to be tried-and-true.  You have learned some valuable lessons and been able to make adjustments that you otherwise would not have made.  And, your position has been strengthened, says the Lord.  Stand strong in your faith.

Proverbs 17:3
The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the hearts.

Believe Only

Believe that you can be restored. Believe in Me, for I will bring you to a place where you can do far better than you imagined.  I will help you find the place of believing and receiving. I have undergirded you with the word of truth. Now allow the word of truth to take you on this journey of restoration. Be restored in My presence. Be restored by My word. For, this is the season you find yourself in. This is exactly what I have for you. I say to you, simply believe and allow My Spirit to bring you to a place of restoration so you can be all that you were designed to be, says the Lord.

Discouragement and hopelessness will derail you from being on track with My Spirit, says the Lord.  Refuse to allow your emotions to take you down.  Bolster yourself in the kind of faith that defeats doubt and unbelief.  The enemy would have you question the reality of My kingdom and the power of My presence.  I am real and My word is true!

1 Samuel 12:24

Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

You have been in a whirlwind of circumstances, which caused you to rethink your position on several fronts.  That flurry is virtually over, and you can now begin to stabilize. My desire is for you to further develop spiritual discernment. This will be a key element in your progression, says the Lord. I will speak to those who have ears to hear.

Mark 4:9
And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

Conform to Him

We don't have to conform to what people think about you or me, but it's what GOD designed us to be! This doesn't mean we'll turn out the way WE think we should be. But when we trust His lead and let His will be done our SHALL BE will be GREATER than what we imagined or could even think

Celebrate You

Don't think someone else will celebrate you when you won't celebrate your own self. No more pity parties. It's time to Be Empowered & LIVE #For REAL

Small Straws in a Soft Wind by Marsha Burns

Pull in your wandering thoughts by being aware of your mental process.  Bring your soul under the authority of Christ in every situation.  It is important for you to actually walk and live in the Spirit instead of allowing your flesh to rule.  Rise up in the spiritual realm and yield to My leading, says the Lord.  I want to keep you in the safety of My presence.  

2 Corinthians 10:5 

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

My Name is Victory

You can choose to let the situation get you down. Or make a choice to learn from it and STEP INTO a place of VICTORY! I choose the latter and so should YOU!

Remember ALWAYS to,

Get focused and stay focused.  Refuse to allow anyone or anything to distract you from the importance of what you have been given to do.  Chaos abounds as mental and emotional whirlwinds rage around you.  But, you must establish yourself in the peace that surpasses understanding, says the Lord.  Be strong and calm.

Hosea 8:7
They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud; it shall never produce meal. If it should produce, aliens would swallow it up.

It Is What It Is

Sometimes you just have to let it be what it's gonna be! Walking away or standing still does not mean you're giving up. It just means you know your boundaries #And it is what it is

You live in precariously us times, and it is more important than ever that you live in the Spirit.  Be alert and aware of the schemes of the enemy.  I am your refuge and place of safety at all times.  Trust Me to expose the danger around you and to keep you from harm, says the Lord.

Psalm 91:9
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling
