What the Lord is Saying Today – August 2011
August 31, 2011. My kingdom is within you. It is more important than food or drink. It is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. I say unto you, let the righteousness I have given you be on display as you do good toward others. My peace will come like the dawn of a new day. It will light the way and prepare the way for your travel. Seek after the joy of the Holy Spirit. Command your soul and body to enter into the high praises found in Jesus Himself. Let joy arise and your enemies be scattered. Resist and rebuke the devil for he has no part in you. Worry about nothing. Instead, rejoice evermore. I say again, rejoice evermore.
Psalm 61:3-4 (NASB) “For You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength against the enemy. Let me dwell in Your tent forever; let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.” Ras Robinson
August 31, 2011. What you have been doing and where you are doing it has very little enthusiasm involved. That needs to stop. Your actions are slacking and they are not doing you or anyone else any good. If you continue, and it is your choice whether to continue or not, you need to do what you do with verve and enthusiasm. Ask Me and then depend on Me to show you the wisdom of continuing where you are or to change your venue. There is a definite place for you. You think it doesn’t make much difference. It does and you need to make that choice soon and then act on it.
Psalms 111:10 (NLT) “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever!” Bev Robinson
August 30, 2011. The Lord brings to mind a few times in my life when by the law I deserved to be disciplined or corrected. Those times are vivid in my memory. Not with guilt but with thanksgiving for the mercy shown to me by the Lord. On one such occasion, it seemed like a miracle that God still loved me afterwards. Those times of merciful discipline with love makes me love the Lord more. I have found that God is almost always more merciful towards me than I am towards myself. The Lord says, “From these experiences, I have made you to be a person of mercy and understanding towards those who err. Remember to mete out discipline and correction according to the way you have yourself received it. Love never fails.”
Psalm 30:1-3 (NASB) “I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.” Ras Robinson
August 30, 2011. You quit saying some things because it appeared no one was listening, and at the time you first said it they didn’t. But circumstances change and understanding comes. You have much to say because you have studied and lived by My Word for years. This is the reason the enemy comes against you so often and so strongly in what you think and say. Many need to hear what you’ve learned because you back it up by your actions, and they observe you. Quit thinking they don’t want to hear. They may act like they do not, but deep down they know and desperately want what you say. Be like Jesus.
Luke 2:52 (NLT) “Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.” Bev Robinson
August 28, 2011. You are a steady force for proclaiming the gospel in this hour. You know this to be true. But there are times you feel you cannot continue. Never make the mistake of feeling that you are alone with no one to comfort or help. Sometimes your hands become so weary they become heavy. You can no longer hold them up. At other times, your muscles and ligaments are too weakened and you lose strength. This is where friends and co-workers become so important. Your destiny and mission are too important for you to consider quitting. The Lord says, “You are on the cusp of the biggest breakthrough of your life. I know it and the devil knows it. Show your trust in Me through allowing those I have sent to assist you to lift up your arms. With My help you will succeed.”
Exodus 17:12-13 (NASB) “But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.” Ras Robinson
August 28, 2011. You have heard it said that in the coming days anything that can be shaken, will be shaken. In the physical a shaking is now happening in our nation. In the last week an earthquake shook on the East Coast making a crack in the Washington monument. A hurricane is also now strafing the East Coast. The Scriptures make it clear that first the natural then the physical. Could this be a precursor of things to come? For years we have been jostled by the devil of what the USA was intended to be by the founders. More shaking has been prophesied to come. “Is your house securely on the Rock?”
Luke 6:47-48 (NKJV) “Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.’ Bev Robinson
August 23, 2011. Prepare yourself well for the days ahead. A time is coming when you will not be able to react and respond as in the past. New situations will arise in unexpected ways. If your foundations are not strong, you will wilt in the hot sun of these new challenges. I say unto you, let My word and the core principles derived from it be your guide. If you will do this, you will have a ready answer and direction when needed. Your investment in disciplined instruction in tested knowledge will be like gold in your bank vault. Examine yourself before Me. Cleanse your hands and change your garments.
Proverbs 23:12 (MSG) “Give yourselves to disciplined instruction; open your ears to tested knowledge.” Ras Robinson
August 23, 2011. A knotty problem is before you. You are wondering if it has a solution which can be clearly understood, but right now you don’t see how it can. It all seems murky. You are getting tired of fooling with it but don’t rush it. There is no reason to hurry. Don’t worry this will come to a good end. I know it has been going on for quite awhile, but the solution does not have to come immediately, in fact it will be better if it unfolds simply and the knots loosen slowly. This can be done if you don’t push and rush it. Be at peace and rest in Me.
John 14:27 (NLT) “I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” Bev Robinson
August 22, 2011. Disappointments happen. You have experienced a huge one. You are just a little sick at your stomach. Why should you be surprised? These setbacks happen to the very best of my warriors. You will rejoice over this as time goes by. Just do not quit. Ask, and I will show you the end from the beginning. I am building a team that will endure and gain the prize. I say unto you run and do not turn back. At the end you will receive the wreath of a champion. Some of this that has happened will seem silly and needless. But you will know that by your faithfulness and obedience you pleased Me. You have completed yet another course designed to secure your place among winners and overcomers.
Romans 5:3-5 (NLT) “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” Ras Robinson
August 22, 2011. There are some events at work now which are behind your scrim. This is nothing you see now, but it is something that will soon be illumined and you will see clearly. This will make your life go better. You have needed this for quite awhile, because you didn’t know exactly what to do. You asked Me for wisdom and have felt lately like maybe you wouldn’t receive it or maybe I forgot. I didn’t forget. I always give you wisdom when you ask. It may not always come immediately, but it will come at the most opportune time. I have been preparing someone else. You both will receive help.
James 1:5 (NLT) “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” Bev Robinson
August 21, 2011. Seal Team 6 is an elite and clandestine military force chosen and trained to be successful in the most difficult of assignments. I watched on TV this week a documentary video detailing the Seal Team 6 training and some of their most daring achievements, including the killing of Osama bin Laden. I remembered how God chose me years ago to do heavy warfare to set people free from bondages to the devil and his minions. It was very difficult to get trained by the Holy Spirit. But to see people walk out of my study free was worth it all. People came in from neighboring states for deliverance. Many letters were received from satisfied customers. I felt I was pioneering Deliverance Team 7. Has God called you to this ministry? It will difficult, messy and very rewarding.
Ephesians 6:12 (AMP) “For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.” Ras Robinson
August 21, 2011. You will have a free day soon, or you’ll feel like you have a free day. It is not completely free, but you are not keeping the pace that you recently had. Make the most of your time to rest. Often you feel strange if you don’t have something to do. Soak in the freedom of your light schedule. More activities will come later, but you will need this time for your mind and body to rest. Do something you have been wanting to do, but you have put off for lack of time. I know you don’t want to waste time, but be at peace and soak in freedom.
Ezekiel 37:26 (AMP) “I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will give blessings to them and multiply them and will set My sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore.” Bev Robinson
August 20, 2011. Major revelation is coming tomorrow. You have been locked in this house of bondage most of your life. Quick glints and sharp flashes of light have caught your eyes over the years. They were to foretell of a someday freedom and breakthrough. More quickly and surely though, the chains have remained on your feet. Desperation has morphed into cynicism and you have become hopeless. But wait. Tomorrow, I will be knocking at your door. Strain through all the noise in your soul to catch the sound of My voice. This is now a big moment! Open the door. Weep and wail. Rend your clothes. Turn yourself in to Me in sackcloth and ashes. The light of a new day and a new era will have begun for you and all those to whom you are related.
Revelation 3:20-21 (NLT) “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.” Ras Robinson
August 20, 2011. Events are happening quickly, much faster than you counted on. Don’t become real frustrated. Keep a cool head, and don’t let your mind run away with you. This will turn out all right if you can keep your emotions under control. It is not nearly as bad as you think, because the largest part of the challenge has already happened, and it really happened without upsetting things too much. You will look back and see how it was handled and be amazed. This is one reason you don’t want to get overwrought. It will be a waste of time. Don’t spend so much energy on something that will pass so quickly.
Proverbs 16:32-33 (AMP) “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his [own] spirit than he who takes a city. The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is wholly of the Lord [even the events that seem accidental are really ordered by Him].” Bev Robinson
August 19, 2011. Some years ago, a couple of prophets registered with me both a concern and a request. Their concern was that they see prophets multiplying like sand of the sea. These new and younger prophets seem to have no accountability to the more seasoned and mature prophets. They saw many errors and deception. Their request was that I consider holding some prophets to account when they deviate into fleshly and unsupportable prophetic utterances. Regretfully, I now see prophets declaring truth based on faulty interpretation of Scripture. Their interpretation will delight the hearts of those who wanted to hear anyway. I say no prophecy can be valid unless it comes from Me. Do not manipulate My words to tickle the ears of the innocent who would like your words to be true. Repent and bring yourself in humility before the prophets that they may judge your words. Otherwise, it will not be well with you.
Matthew 24:24 (NASB) “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.” Ras Robinson
August 19, 2011. For the last little while every time I start to write, the word “entropy” comes to my mind. It is a physics term. Entropy has more than one meaning. The most simple definition is this: the degradation of matter in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity. We see evidence of this degradation in recent “flash gangs,” where gangs walk into businesses, raiding them and taking anything of value. The Lord says, “Pray for those in authority. Pray that they will seek Me for wisdom. I know what to do about this. I know how to set things in order. I know how to bring peace. I am the answer.”
Psalms 144:14-15 (MSG) “Protect us from invasion and exile- eliminate the crime in our streets. How blessed the people who have all this! How blessed the people who have God for God!” Bev Robinson
August 18, 2011. You have watched your nation slip more and more into amorality. You are shocked at the blatant immorality. It is at virtually every level and dimension of your country. Holy Spirit within you cries out for action. Amorality is not your heritage. It cannot be your future. I say “Change the color and texture of the landscape. The job looks insurmountable. I have not called upon you to be the savior of the whole nation. But I am calling you today to let your voice and influence be known. You have plenty to say and declare. You have been silent. No more. Stop only watching and do as Jesus did when I anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good. Follow His example and do it now.
1 Peter 1:15-16 (NASB) “But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”
1 Peter 2:4-5 (NASB) “You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Ras Robinson
August 18, 2011. Something has been lost. You have wondered how you could have lost this much. You regret it because this is going to mean something else has to be done to make up for the loss. Don’t spend any more time on this. Spend your time working. Also pray for the others who also have experienced loss. Do not let grief overtake you. Nothing can completely take its place. Don’t worry about that. But if you rely completely and totally on Me the loss can be recovered. Rely on Me to give you an additional plan. This one will also be good. Be at peace and watch what I will do.
Job 42:10 (NLT) “When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!” Bev Robinson
August 17, 2011. Confusion in a matter has arisen. The implications of this could be expensive. This kind of thing is not new. I say unto you, “Take a deep breath and declare a season of investigation and prayer. Have I not led you out of confusion before? The last thing you need to do is panic in unbelief. Instead, get your facts together. Examine them carefully and pray over what to do. You have not because you ask not. Put your trust in the Lord and follow His leading. He knows the way out of this. Give what He says your pinpoint obedience.
Job 38:1-2 (NASB) “Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” Ras Robinson
August 17, 2011. Don’t settle into discouragement. Tell Me every little instance that causes you to be discouraged, then reign those thoughts in and place them all over on Me. I love you precious child. You are My inheritance. This will not remain forever, but instead you will remain with Me forever. I know you are in a hard place. I know you are suffering, but make the most of it. Don’t waste your sorrows. Let this help develop your character. Learn from this and it will not be a failure. Hang with Me and the outcome will be to your advantage. Work with Me. You will not have to go through this again.
Romans 5:3-5 (NASB) “And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Bev Robinson
August 16, 2011. You learned long ago that only Jesus is enough. The Lord has provided already for your every need. Your heritage is perhaps not what you would have chosen but it is the choice of the Lord. Your inheritance may not be in monies or properties to the extent of some you know, but what is coming to you and will come to you is infinitely better. Brace yourself for some surprises at all I have arranged for you. You are Mine and I am yours. My riches are ascribed to you as a joint heir to the riches of Jesus your elder brother. He is the cup of your inheritance. He becomes richer as days and years go by. Your gold, precious metals and jewels pale next to Him.
Psalms 16:5-6 (NASB) “The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.” Ras Robinson
August 16, 2011. It is puzzling you that you aren’t at peace. There seems to be no reason that you can discern. You can’t see why. Get before Me. Tell Me all that is going on in your mind. State in detail even the smallest of happenings currently going on. The reason for the lack of peace is hidden in a small detail…something you have overlooked. You will see once you reveal it all. It is small in the scheme of life but deep down it is significant to you. There is very little you can do about it, so roll it over on Me. Trust Me with this. Hasn’t that worked before?
Daniel 10:19 (NLT) “Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!” As he spoke these words to me, I suddenly felt stronger and said to him, “Please speak to me, my lord, for you have strengthened me.” Bev Robinson
August 15, 2011. Are you hearing Me? Or are you being directed by the traditions and instructions of man? The secular man has rules and regulations, fixes and sure fire solutions to about everything. If you are not careful, you will find yourself being trained by the devil and his minions. I say unto you, “Take a break from the ways of this present world and get concerned about the condition of your heart.” Ask yourself the question, “Are the things coming from my mouth those things that edify, encourage and comfort? Or are the words from my mouth those that have little or no basis in My truth.” I have words of life for you. Let Me fill your heart with Myself and My truth. Listen and you will hear!
Matthew 15:16-20 (NASB) “Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.” Ras Robinson
August 15, 2011. You are trying too hard to keep everyone happy. This can’t be done. Doing this in the long run is not even going to make you happy. If you keep going in this direction it will eventually cause problems within. Not just within the ones involved but within you…within your own body. You are keeping all this in and it will eventually pop out in physical problems. You need some new insight from others. You are concerned if you do reveal the problem someone may eventually blame much of it on you. Others can help you make a decision. Tell it and listen to their counsel. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Proverbs 15:22-23 (NLT) “Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success. Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!” Bev Robinson
August 14, 2011. When I was younger, a dear friend kneeled beside me while I was resting on the floor in front of the church altar. God and I were communing together. My friend said in my ear, “You will soon be going through a burning fire. You think you will be badly burned, but you will not be burned or scorched. You will eventually come out on the other side without singe.” I can tell you that though I dreaded this prophecy, it happened within weeks. He says to you, “My heart is always toward redemption. Therefore, do not dread the fire or deep waters ahead. You will be okay. My purposes will be made clear to you as you put your trust in Me alone.”
Isaiah 43:2 (NASB) “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.” Ras Robinson
August 14, 2011. There is someone you are praying for and have been praying for…for a long time. You desperately want them to succeed. I too want them to succeed. There are some choices that they alone can make that will cause that to happen. I have had such good plans for them since before they were born. But they and they alone have to make the choices that will line up with My plans…My good plans for them. Your job is to continue praying. Don’t give up but also don’t let it become overbearing. Roll this over on Me. Trust in Me to set up the events that will help them choose.
Joshua 24:14-15 (NASB) “If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Bev Robinson
August 13, 2011. I have given within you a desperation of hunger and thirst for Me. You cannot seem to get close enough in your worship. Don’t worry about it. Dare to look foolish with your outlandish love and adoration for Me. I have noticed you have found a psalmist who sings her heart like the proverbial canary of her passion for Me. You have almost become hooked on that music because you play it over and over again. And through these acts of worship and adoration, I am quickening your soul and even your spirit to mount up with eagles to the heights of heaven. I love you My child. And My adoration of you exceeds anything you may feel towards Me.
Psalms 13:6 (NASB) “I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.” Ras Robinson
August 13, 2011. Satan will be coming at your mind full force during a period of time just ahead. He and his demons will be working 24/7…even trying to disturb your sleep. Stop and think about this…but not too long because that also is what he wants. He wants your mind fixed on him or either thinking about how you might fail. I have now exposed his plan. Bind his works and go straight ahead. The work that is coming has been in the making for quite awhile. You will not fail. You will succeed. The truth is this is the exact time for this event to come forth and be a huge blessing.
Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG) “I know what I’m doing have it all planned out-plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” Bev Robinson
August 12, 2011. I want you to discover (uncover) something. You are My little flock, My treasured possession. You have heard how I brought My people from Egypt on eagles wings to My mountain because they are My treasured possession. Well, I say to you I still have plenty of eagles and My Mountain has not moved. You are special in My sight. I am always thinking of you and how I can bless you more. I have saved up treasures in heaven for you. Should you ask, I will give unto you now, while you are still on the earth, many of those treasures. Why? Because you are My little flock, My treasured possession.
Luke 12:32-34 (NASB) “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Ras Robinson
August 12, 2011. No matter what you have done or what you haven’t done, I didn’t set things up to have you do things and work to get up to Me. Instead I came down to you. All you had to do was turn, take one step to Me. You were afraid you couldn’t do that. But you did. I was beside you to help you take that one step to trust Me for your trip to heaven. I am also here for you to take that step to victory… to be blessed here on earth. You will now be walking the high road. You will arrive where you are going with overcoming victory.
Psalms 149:4-6 (NASB) “For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation. Let the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,” Bev Robinson
August 11, 2011. Swearing to your own hurt helps establish your integrity. When you have genuine integrity in living according to the word of God, He will guide you through the most troubling of deep waters and storms. A young man that I know lied to a prospective employer about his salary at the company he would be leaving if hired. As it worked out, the job offer did not occur. I am praying that the young man will be discerning and observant enough to know that he compromised his integrity. Perhaps he will see the end of his way in compromise of truth will lead finally to destruction. The Lord says, “The young man does not trust me because he could never trust or depend on his own father. He does not yet really believe that I am the perfect Father who provides, protects and keeps promises.”
Proverbs 11:3 (NASB) “The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.” Ras Robinson
August 11, 2011. It is natural that you form ideas from what others around you are saying and doing. That is living according to the second commandment. But remember also the first commandment. This is the first one you are to follow. This one ushers in the supernatural. You are to seek loving Me with every particle within you. Adhering to these two commandments will make you supremely happy. Only then can you see and love others as I see them. Your ideas and ways of living will be on a supernatural plane when you do this. Walk the high road with Me and what you say and do will benefit those around you.
Matthew 22:37-39 (NLT) “Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Bev Robinson
August 10, 2011. You are blessed beyond measure. It was all done before you arrived on this earth. It was concocted in Heaven and sent to you as a blessed treasure. Many know not of such things as you possess. Some keep asking for what they already have been given. You have been called and anointed as a servant to My body the church. Without what you have to offer the church will continue to struggle and border on drying up from lack of the water of the Holy Spirit. Others could have been given this great opportunity. But I chose you and a few others of your kind and caliber as gifts to My body the church. Now share your blessings with the same grace as you received. The days ahead will be awesome.
Ephesians 4:9-11 (MSG) “It’s true, is it not, that the One who climbed up also climbed down, down to the valley of earth? And the One who climbed down is the One who climbed back up, up to highest heaven. He handed out gifts above and below, filled heaven with his gifts, filled earth with his gifts. He handed out gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, and pastor-teacher.” Ras Robinson
August 10, 2011. God has lately been increasingly speaking to me in dreams. I just dreamed we were in a church where many church members were being saved, healed, delivered and filled with the Holy Spirit. The Lord says, “Have you trusted Me for salvation? Have you trusted Me for a fresh infilling of My Spirit? I am here right now for you to make me Lord in your life. I am available to take you to heaven one day. But I am also here to give you a better life while you are on earth. I will lead, teach, and comfort you by My Spirit and give you My wisdom for everyday living.
John 3:17 (AMP) “For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. Ephesians 5:18-19 (NLT) Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.” Bev Robinson
August 9, 2011. I want to lift you up to the place where you can see the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth. He will demonstrate with clarity that you are never alone in any battle or circumstance. The angel of the Lord is none other than the Lord Jesus Himself! He is over you, Jerusalem and all God’s people ready to take on the fiercest of enemies of this day and any other. So, lift up your eyes in faith and hope. Stop looking down in doubt and unbelief. Gather, like Joel instructed, the elders before the altar and cry out and you lift up your eyes. See your destiny of glory with Me.
1 Chronicles 21:16 (AMP) “David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and the heavens, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.” Ras Robinson
August 9, 2011. Ras and I along with others from our church attended “The Response” in Houston that our Texas governor called for. We responded to his call because our nation is in crisis. We prayed for God to respond bringing us out of this crisis, but in doing so to also bring a spiritual awakening in America. It took enormous boldness by Rick Perry do such a thing. I for one will vote for him if he runs for president. We need such boldness in our nation to admit we cannot run governments on our own. Lord bless Governor Perry and protect him in the coming days and give him wisdom from You.
Isaiah 9:6 (AMP) “For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace.” Bev Robinson
August 8, 2011. In days ahead, enemies you never imagined will emerge. Hate speech will fill your ears with what the enemy of our souls has to say about Jesus and the life He gives. You can expect to be mistreated for righteousness sake. The mockers and protestors will increase. But here is My secret weapon. Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, bless those coming against you and what you stand for in this hour. Pray for them to find salvation and deliverance in Jesus. Do good deeds for the ones who are coming against you. As you come to me in prayer and intercession, I will minister to and make you stronger and stronger. Let me handle your opponents and haters of the Gospel you preach.
Luke 6:27-28 (NASB) “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Ras Robinson
August 8, 2011. I dreamed that Ras and I were in a church with two of our adult grandchildren and we were asked to teach on discipleship. Ras turned and said Bev you teach on flexibility. The Lord says, “Are you so set in the way you do things, that it is hard for you to be flexible? That needs to change My child. Coming soon, circumstances will begin changing rapidly. Things will not be as they once were. Don’t be so set in your ways that you cannot change on the spot. You will need to make decisions quickly. I will give you wisdom. You need to be given totally over to Me.
Proverbs 28:26 (AMP) “He who leans on, trusts in, and is confident of his own mind and heart is a [self-confident] fool, but he who walks in skillful and godly Wisdom shall be delivered.” Bev Robinson
August 7, 2011. You have not because you ask not. You are accustomed to making your own way. This started when you were young and had so little. But then there were the disappointments and setbacks in life. This caused you to be diminished in your faith. But I tell you today, “My promises and My power of provision for My children never ceases. They never diminish for any reason. I am your good Father and I do not change. What sometimes looks like a change to you is only you discovering another of My many dimensions. Therefore, humble yourself and ask in faith for what you need. My supply is plentiful and waiting.
Matthew 7:7-8 (GW) “Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Ras Robinson
August 7, 2011. You have done something you so wish you hadn’t done but you did, and now it is too late to undo. You feel terrible. What do you do now? Don’t wallow with this in your mind. Repent. Turn quickly. Ask forgiveness. Let it go. But be prepared for next time. You think there won’t be a next time but there will. Think through now what you will do and determine ahead of time to do it. Seek Me. I will tell you exactly what to do and afterwards you will not feel like you do now. You will learn from this to see the warning signals and hide yourself in Me.
1 John 1:8-9 (NASB) “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 Peter 5:8 (NASB) “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Bev Robinson
August 6, 2011. My hand has been upon you since you were born again. There have been times when you have wandered away but you always returned. Some have openly said they hate you because your life seems so blessed when compared to them. They have even cursed Me because of jealousy and competitive spirits operating in them against you. But you have prayed through the years and asked me to bless those who speak and act against you. I have heard those prayers and it is my will and joy to answer with even more grace towards you. Those who have wronged you will pay the price while you bask in My mercy.
Psalms 6:9-10 (GW) “The Lord has heard my plea for mercy. The Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror. In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame. Ras Robinson
August 6, 2011. We are close to a record number of days over 1000 F in our city and are in a severe drought. This morning I saw a dove land on our patio looking for food. I have not fed the birds this summer. I felt they could find enough natural food. As I threw out birdseed, I heard a dove cooing in the distance and the Lord saying, “You have been going through some searing heat causing fear and dryness. You feel badly in coming to Me again. Not so, My child! I have everything you need to get you through this tough time. I bring peace to you along with sustenance.
Matthew 6:26-27 (NLT) “Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they areCan all your worries add a single moment to your life?” Bev Robinson
August 5, 2011. I found myself being a bit too salty again this week. A little salt quickens and enriches. All animals, including humans, need salt to live. But too much salt can ruin flavors and burn the mouth. On the farm, we cured our hams and other pork with salt. The right amount of salt also kept the insects away from the curing meats. The Lord said to me today, “Be smart and wise in using and being salt. When you do so, you can heal both the sick and the broken hearted. With wisely measured salt, you will set the captives free and restore the wounded and depressed. Do not be afraid to be salt. Only be wise and sensitive.”
Matthew 5:13 (NASB) “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.” Ras Robinson
August 5, 2011. It is amazing how quickly your attitude can change. You have time alone with Me and I show you some things that will help you in living your life from day to day. Then something will happen that causes you to react negatively. Then things start going wrong from that time forward. Stop and think about this. Is that the way you want your day to go? No! I know it isn’t. I know you. Stop when you first recognize this and get back into Me and My walk for the day. Empty your mind and emotions of the negative that has happened. Ask Me to fill you for this day.
Ephesians 5:17-19 (NLT) “Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.” Bev Robinson
August 4, 2011. Today I happened to encounter an old friend at a coffee shop. He and I are the same age. We had not seen each other in quite a while though we had ministered together for many years. But today, the old friend did not recognize me and asked me twice “Who are you?” At first I thought he was joking but then realized that he really no longer knew me. This saddened me. In my heart I quickly remembered that someone close to me had prophesied to me that this kind of thing would happen someday to my old friend. The Lord said, “See, I have long been your shield, your glory and the lifter of your head. Your name is well known in Heaven!”
Psalms 3:3 (NASB) “But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.” Ras Robinson
August 4, 2011. Good news is coming. This is unexpected because you have been thinking there is no way this can turn out good. This will lift your spirit. There have been so many negative things happening lately that you have dreaded hearing upcoming results. In the midst of all that has been going on I know it is hard to relax, but take some deep breaths and let me cleanse out all the negative thoughts. Breathe in the good and breathe out the bad. The Holy Spirit wants to fill you and help you maintain good thoughts, good attitudes, good health and good relationships. He will start first with good thoughts. Receive them.
Romans 12:2 (NLT) “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Bev Robinson
August 3, 2011. You have been wondering about the end game. It will be much like the beginning of the game. All that you have suffered, endured, learned and experienced will be part of the mix in what you are to do. There are some who wish not to gather with My body when they assemble. Such folk will be on the outside of My will as hard times become harder and harder. Retreating to remote locations, caves and mountain wildernesses will be tempting. But, such pursuits, while they seem intriguing, will lead to utter ruin. Selfishness and isolation to escape communing with Me and My other children have never been My plan. Rather, hide yourself in Me and in the midst of My body. You will find Me there, leading, protecting and directing according to the will of My Father. We are all family now and in the end times.
Acts 2:44-47 (NASB) “And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Ras Robinson
August 3, 2011. When things are good determine ahead of time you will make a choice to live and remain positive and stable. Don’t wait to do it in the hard or bad times. Happiness is a choice. Right now determine that you will set your mind like flint to trust Me when things go bad or even when you are afraid things may not go the way you believe to be the best. When the devil hits you with fear or anger or whatever is in his sheath of arrows, make up your mind now that you will not cave and will not listen to whatever thought he brings to your mind.
Isaiah 50:7 (AMP) “For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.” Bev Robinson
August 2, 2011. You have been near a breaking point for some time now. A dear friend called me yesterday to update me on his breaking point. He is a dear Christian man who loves God with all his heart. He serves people selflessly and works hard and diligently to support his family. In some way it seemed that he was in some areas grasping for straws to survive. The Lord spoke this to me and I hope he and others like him in his situation, read this. The Lord says, “I know where you are. Remember the fishing story about Simon Peter and his business partners? Though they preferred not to do so, they listened to the words of Jesus and put down their nets as he directed. These men were so blessed their nets filled and their boats began to sink. Are you listening?”
Luke 5:4-7 (AMP) “When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon (Peter), Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul. And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again]. And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking, they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.” Ras Robinson
August 2, 2011. There is a pivotal event ahead. This has been in the making for quite awhile. You were one of the ones who suggested that this event happen. You are not sure how you are to be involved or if you should be involved at all. You have prayed a lot about it and now it is show time. Don’t let your guard down. Much is at stake. Your enemy the devil will do any and everything he can to stop the results from being good. You have not relied on your own wisdom and that is good. You are doing the right thing by continue to bind evil and loose goodness.
Matthew 16:19 (NASB) “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Bev Robinson
August 1, 2011. Revelation is God bringing to us those truths and mysteries we would not otherwise know. Jesus was Himself the first revelator because He came as the light that would illuminate mankind with the good news. But mankind has continually turned away from His light, preferring the darkness of the world and all its kingdoms. But I say unto you, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. And he whom the Lord sets free is free indeed. It is your lot and destiny to understand simple truths and mysteries not understood by others. Therefore, I am commissioning you today as one of My revelators. You will be accurate and true, standing the test of time. Your integrity will see you through as you now bring and shed light for yourself and others. Glory to God in the highest.”
Proverbs 1:23 (NASB ) “Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.” Ras Robinson
August 1, 2011. Something new is on your horizon. It is old, very old but it will be somewhat new to you. You have suspected it in the back of your mind and at times you have heard bits and pieces, but it has not been in the forefront of your walk and understanding. It will be a stretch to you. Don’t be worried or fearful. It is good, very good, much like it being old. very old. But since it is also somewhat new, it will have a little shock effect on you. Stay tight in walking with Me. I have more to show you, and you will soon begin showing this to others.
Leviticus 26:10-12 (NASB) “‘You will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new. ‘Moreover, I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul will not reject you.’I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.” Bev Robinson
