Shift Don't Shake

 SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

You are about to shift from what you deemed important, or even vital to your life, to a value system that reflects spiritual reality more completely.  The shift will be subtle enough that you might not be aware of it until some time passes.  You are receiving spiritual training through the things you suffer and have suffered.  Do not lose balance in this time, says the Lord.

Hebrews 5:8
though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

In Faith and Hope Come

THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS:

Come to Me with faith and hope.  Come to Me with expectation. Come to Me and know that the journey I have prepared for you is a far better journey than you yourself can see.  Know that in this very specific time frame you can grow spiritually, you can know Me better, you can come and receive the grace, the wisdom, and the joy that I have for you.  Come and enjoy Me in this season, says the Lord God.

Cast it Down

If something is taunting, worrying, or agitating you then close the door on it and do not entertain. Distractions come to take our focus off what we should be engaged in and try to rule our emotions through an attack on the mind, will, or how we "feel" from day to day. Cast it down, close the door, and send it back from where it came! Now, remember ALWAYS in Jesus name😊to

Go to the Rock

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

When nothing around you seems stable, come to Me.  Remember that your stability originates spiritually and filters down to your sense of well-being naturally.  You must press into the place of peace that only comes from My presence, says the Lord.  Refuse to allow your feelings of instability to dictate your responses.

Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

Weigh All Things

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Evaluate your priorities and deliberately and carefully consider and weigh your options for moving forward.  Choose according to the path that will allow for a clear conscience, moral excellence, and spiritual growth.  Allow My Spirit to be your guide and to establish you on higher ground  in righteousness, says the Lord.  Come out of every sort of darkness into the light of life.

Titus 1:15
To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

Learn to Press Through

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Watch for opportunities to extricate yourself from hindrances that have kept you from achieving your short-term destiny.  Be willing to let go of problems of the past and reach forward to new possibilities that will cause your soul to prosper, says the Lord.  If you can do this successfully, you will be delighted with the new version of your life.

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.

Stagnant

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Many of you, My people, feel as though you have stagnated and have no ability to move beyond your current difficulties.  I tell you honestly that it is not your ability that matters; it is the strength of your faith in My ability to do what you cannot.  You must stop relying on your own efforts and common sense and begin to rely on Me, says the Lord.  Rise up to walk and live in the Spirit.

Luke 1:37
For with God nothing will be impossible.

Set A Watch

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Set a watch over your mind and emotions so that you don't get carried away from truth and reality.  You must be quiet enough to perceive and discern spiritually so that you know what I am doing and where I am taking you, says the Lord.  That which the enemy has meant to be evil or harmful to you, I will turn to your benefit.  Make every effort to get in the flow of My Spirit.

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.

Practice Self Control

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Exercise your will to discipline your thoughts and emotions.  You have the ability to bring yourself under control--even under the control of My Spirit, says the Lord.  Only from that position will you find peace and a sense of well-being.  Quiet your soul, and let Me lead you out of turmoil and sorrow.  I am your help in times of trouble.

Psalms 9:9
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
