A Revelation In The Rain ...






Not everyone that comes into your life is put  there to fulfill some part of your destiny journey. 

Some are 'spiritual assailants' that are like wild weeds that grab hold of the tree and try to 'graft' themselves into the very living part of the branch in order to choke out the growth.

These wild weeds are 'destiny destroyers'  and they are a detriment to the dedication that you have had to maintain your move forward. 

Never fear, these wild weeds are being plucked up even as we pray for the Lord's deliverance.  No plant that our heavenly Father has not planted nor given right to put down roots will hold back, halt, hasten the forward movement of His plan for your life! 

This is not a season to retreat, refrain, retaliate, or remove yourself from all that you have been doing for the Kingdom.  Stand Firm and do not worry God is still on His throne and just like in Job we are nearing the season of completion!  Hold onto what He has given you so far.  Rest in His love and abide by His Word and know that a few weeds will not be allowed to overtake an 'all powerful divine assignment'.....

Soak and saturate yourself in His love and praise those weeds right out of your life!'


For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

In His Love,
By His Spirit,
I scribe His

HOLD ON!






SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- 12/14/2010:

The deep darkness around you has been a grief and a snare, but in the midst of the darkness you have heard My voice calling you to seek My face and to come to the light of My countenance. My ears are not deaf to your cries, nor is My arm too short to save. I am you salvation and deliverance if you will only look up and believe, says the Lord.

Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.

STAND FIRM!!!






THE TRUMPET by Bill Burns -- 12/13/2010:


Have you not read that I am the Lord of Glory? I am the King of Glory! My glory I share with no other because it originates with Me, but that glory that I am speaking of I will bring upon you. If you will walk with Me in the place of My glory; the path that is before you, which is already been set ablaze for your journey. My call to you today is come and walk in the glory. Come and abide in the glory for all things are manifest in My glory. Every promise is received in My glory. Again, I say, come. Come and receive. Come and participate, says the Lord.

Remain standing on your firm spiritual foundation. You have to fight through the attacks of the enemy designed to take you down. You must gain the victory. Refuse to give up ground or to turn back or to go down, for that would signal your sure defeat. There is no honor is allowing the devil to win, says the Lord. Rise up and do battle; I am with you to bring the victory.

2 Samuel 23:11-12 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. Then the people fled from the Philistines. But he stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. And the LORD brought about a great victory.

Prayer Pt. 2





The Purpose of Prayer (Part 2)


"Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as in heaven." (Luke 11:2).

Three things happen as we pray. First, which we looked at yesterday, is that we have fellowship with God. The second thing that happens is that we cooperate in bringing God's Kingdom to Earth.

What exactly does this mean? Simply stated, it means doing our part to see God's will happen in our sphere of influence.

Practically speaking, it means you should never pray a prayer that is not already God's will. This is what the Bible is talking about when it says, "You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss; that you may consume it on your own lusts" (James 4:3). In other words, our prayers are not answered when we pray for selfish reasons, wanting to indulge our own desires.

"THY will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Whenever we pray what God has already decided to do, our prayers cannot miss! "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him." (1 John 5:14-15).

But this not only means we are never to pray a prayer that is not already God's will; it also means that you should never pray a prayer that you are not willing to be the answer to. In other words, don't ask God to bless the poor if you are not ready to do your part in becoming the means whereby He does it.

Don't pray for change in the courts, in the schools, in the marketplace, or in the church — if you're going to sit passively by the side to see if any change comes. Otherwise you are praying empty prayers — mere religious words that have no meaning....and no power.

You must pray your passion — for it is in such prayers that God's answers come; and they come through you. He gives you wisdom, opportunity, patience, resource and power from on high to actually effect the answers for which you cry out to heaven.

"Thy Kingdom come," we pray, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Pray as though it depended totally upon God; work as though it depends totally upon you.

What are you prepared to do today to become the answer to the prayers you have been praying?

Prayer Part 1




The Purpose of Prayer (Part 1)

"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple." (Psalm 27:4, KJV).

Three things happen as we pray. First, we have fellowship with God.

I'm talking about real friendship; not some imaginary exercise of reciting religious phrases toward some divine place in the sky. No. David said we would behold the beauty of the Lord, and inquire in His temple. This is not some abstract thought about a make-believe world, nor merely a poetic license for things that are not literally real. I'm talking about actually talking with God....and having Him talk back.

"Call unto Me, and I will answer you," He says, "and show you great and marvelous things to wonderful to know; things of which you are unaware; things that you don't know and can't find out without asking Me; things you can never figure out on your own." (Jeremiah 33:3).

The New Living Bible says, "Ask Me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come."

Jesus invited us to pray to "Our Father, who is in heaven." This is a bond greater than any other relational connection we know. He has even placed His Spirit deep within our heart, whereby we call out, "Abba, Father."

From infancy to our elder years, God's Fatherhood is the undergirding and over-riding truth of our lives. And it is the single, most compelling factor in how we are to pray —

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (Matthew 7:7-11).

The purpose of prayer is to strengthen, deepen, broaden, and lengthen our fellowship with God, our Father.

Have to talked to Dad lately?

Good Morning LORD ♥

He Hears You!  REJOICE!

 

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- 12/2/2010:


 
I have heard the cries of your heart, and your prayers have come to My ears as you have humbled yourself and sought My face. I take great pleasure in revealing Myself to you in greater ways than you have known. Continue to come and commune with Me, for I do seek those who will not only worship, but will also pray in spirit and in truth, say the Lord.

 
2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Good Morning LORD ♥




SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- 11/16/2010:


Be strong and do not lose heart. Refuse to give up. The enemy would have you to believe in hopelessness, but he will not succeed as long as you maintain your position of hope. Give him no ground. Take the time and make the effort to exercise your faith and to believe Me and know that I have heard your prayers, says the Lord.

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
