April 30, 2016. For forever and forever I will love you. This may mean that, at times when you are at your lowest point, you will find Me waiting to show My greater love. I will be waiting, not to judge you, but rather to love and bless you. Remember? I AM the God of all grace and mercy. You are the steadfast apple of My eye waiting for you to daily make of Me the apple of your eye.
Psalm 30:11-12 (NASB) “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.” Ras Robinson
April 30, 2016. Praise is your secret weapon. Let this sink deeply. I know you feel like doing anything but praising Me, but do it anyway. Don’t live by what you feel. Live by what I say. Yes, I know how you feel. I gave you feelings. Feelings are good unless they get in the way of what I say. What I am saying to you is the battle is mine. Let Me fight the battle. Praise Me for victory.
2 Chronicles 20:22 (GW) “As they started to sing praises, the LORD set ambushes against the Ammonites, Moabites, and the people of Mount Seir who had come into Judah. They were defeated.” Bev Robinson
April 30, 2016. Refuse to let a small interruption in your life appear as a full blown disruption on your radar screen. Mishaps of various sizes and shapes come across your path from time to time and they do not cause any form of delay or setback for you. So why should this particular scenario be any different? Know that difficulties are a part of life and should be dealt with properly. Learn to go with the flow and prosper.
James 1:2-3 (AMP) “Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].” Kevin Robinson
April 29, 2016. Insure for yourself rewards and blessings by choosing to be righteous and to befriend other righteous people. When you do this, you find others who, like yourself, have found that living righteously pays off. A great reward of such living is that you find yourself rejoicing among good friends with the same values as you. A happy life ensues for you which attracts other righteous people. Seek employers and overseers who demonstrate such righteousness.
Proverbs 29:2 (NASB) “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan.” Ras Robinson
April 29, 2016. Do whatever it takes to stay in the center of My will. Don’t move to the right or to the left. I will not leave you. I will tell you each step to take. Don’t let your mind wander. Don’t spend time on why. That kind of thinking is a pit. Keep your mind focused on Me and what I want you to do. You need strength and peace. If you do this both will follow.
Psalm 29:11 (NLT) “The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.” Bev Robinson
April 29, 2016. Allow every aspect of the fruit of the Spirit to be manifest within you. Yes, let the seemingly elusive fruit of self-control be an earmark of your Christian walk with Me and others. It is mentioned last in the list of the fruit and it can be a difficult fruit to exhibit. Learn to yield to My way of doing things and let Me dictate how things are controlled. Move freely with Me as I freely move.
Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Kevin Robinson
April 28, 2016. Walking in integrity means being honest, with strong moral principles and uprightness. To be known as a person of integrity is priceless today and every day. Such a one is considered of greater value than the crooked one who is rich. Take an inventory of how you are seen as compared to how you would like to be seen and known. Honesty and being morally upright should be your life goals. Leave an indelible mark of integrity as your legacy.
Proverbs 28:6 (NASB) “Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is crooked though he is rich.” Ras Robinson
April 28, 2016. A surprise is coming, a good surprise, not a bad one. You’ve had enough lately of a bad surprise. What is coming is good, very good. It will cause your mind to be excited, thinking of what the surprise may activate. You passed a test of listening and obeying Me when the bad surprise hit. Now anticipate in faith the good one headed your way. This begins blessings that will chase you down and overtake you. It’s good to obey.
Amos 9:13 (NIV) “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills.” Bev Robinson
April 28, 2016. Don’t let the unexpected ruin your perspective of how things are going and how they will end. Everyone has unforeseen issues come across their path. The question now is, what will you make of the issues at hand? Do you see what has happened to be a problem or an opportunity for good? Make the decision now to stay positive no matter what comes at you from any direction. Recognize Me in all things.
Romans 8:28 (NIV) “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Kevin Robinson
April 27, 2016. Even today women are noted for their special devotion to Jesus. The presence of women following and being with Jesus is still a noticeable reality. Emotions of the heart are a key factor in releasing obedience and worship. And while these factors are found in men, it is especially women especially display it. Men can learn and catch up in their passion for Christ. Note that serving (i.e. ministering to the needs of others) is desirable and appropriate.
Matthew 27:55 (NASB) “Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.” Ras Robinson
April 27, 2016. A financial breakthrough is coming. You have been obedient to do what I said. You know Me and the promises of My word. The extra that you gave was not really extra, but you were obedient. You are putting Me to the test. You will see how I provide. I am the God of abundance. I will take care of your needs, but also many of your wants. I know how you trust and love Me.
Luke 6:38 (NIV) “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Bev Robinson
April 27, 2016. Hold on just a little bit longer because the relief for which you have been longing is on its way. Your persistence and tenacity are about to pay off. Others have all but given up by now but not you. You have diligently focused on your particular assigned tasks. Now you are about to reap a great reward. You are and will be a testimony to others all around you because you never ever gave up.
Galatians 6:9 (NLT) “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Kevin Robinson
April 26, 2016. In times of duress and stress you find revelations from Jesus that blow your mind. He reveals what He knows about you and your circumstance and then fixes problems. But sometimes you hang onto your own insights and understanding rather than accept Jesus’ help. You see, He knows everything needed to make things better and He delights in helping and blessing you. Praying to Jesus and asking for His help is the humility that provides answers and blessings.
John 21:5-6 (NASB) “So Jesus *said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.” Ras Robinson
April 26, 2016. Continued to follow My leading. You are on My path rather than your own. This is good. Because I have set out the prescribed route. Don’t allow the emotions of your soul to get in the ascendency. Die to yourself. Trust and obey Me completely. Keep going the way you’re going. I know you are tired but I also know sleep is hard to come by. Your being has been severely shaken. Your Father loves you.
Psalm 37:5 (NLT) “Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you” Bev Robinson
April 26, 2016. I know you feel that the doubt you have seems more real than your hand in front of you. Because of some past difficulties you have encountered, some confusion has entered the equation. Now you are experiencing disbelief at a greater level than before. Skepticism is now a major player in your thinking. Let Me encourage you to place your unbelief into My care. Let My faith become your faith which helps carry you forward.
1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” Kevin Robinson
April 25, 2016. Repent and turn away from the old. Exciting days are ahead. God is providing, in replacement for the old, a new day and a new way. He loves you too much to leave you in the state in which you find yourself today whether bad or good. Make a new commitment today to join in agreement with God’s very best for you. Don’t let the success of the past prevent you from reaping even better in your future.
Exodus 33:14 (TLB) “And the Lord replied, “I myself will go with you and give you success.” Ras Robinson
April 25, 2016. Keeping a negative scene you saw from reentering your mind is a challenge. You aren’t sure what you’re doing helps. It keeps popping up when you try to rest. The devil is trying to rob your peace. You know that, but aren’t sure what to do. This has happened before, but you kept trusting Me and binding the devil and they eventually came less and less often. Do the same thing again. Take every thought captive to Me.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (NASB) “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,” Bev Robinson
April 25, 2016. Ask Me to reveal Myself to you through visions and dreams as you go through your daily walk. Recognize that I speak to you through many means and in in mysteries. Learn to operate from visions and dreams much like you would ride from wave to wave with My anointing upon your life. Know that visions and dreams are critical in realizing how I live, breathe and move with you through revelation knowledge. Incorporate both into your everyday existence.
Acts 2:17 (NIV) “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” Kevin Robinson
April 23, 2016. God knows your resting place with Him. It is likely that if you ask, He will foretell to you all about your time and place in Heaven. He loves you so much and delights in you having His knowledge. He wants you to have no fear. His rod and staff are for your comfort and protection. They will instruct your mind and prepare your heart. Years ago, He told me I would have a long and good life like Abraham. I live by faith. He wants that faith for you as well.
Psalm 23:4 (NASB) “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Ras Robinson
April 23, 2016. This is a warning, not to scare you, but to prepare you. You’ve wondered why there has been no warfare at this particular time when it usually is there. It’s coming, in a way and from whom you least expect. It will hit you with quite a blow. You have earlier had something similar happen. Die to yourself. Get in My word and listen to My voice. You got through it last time and you will do so again
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NLT) “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.” Bev Robinson
April 23, 2016. I am greater than any obstacle that presents itself before you. Nothing that will ever cross your path is able to hinder My progress with the plans I have for you. Rest yourself from the struggles that come before you each day. Don’t get wrapped up in the “what if’s” that can cloud your perspective. Think about what I can do for you in the present. Now overcome.
1 John 4:4 (NASB) “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” Kevin Robinson
April 22, 2016. Jesus promises to allow believers to sit at His right hand until He humbles your enemies under your feet. He will fight your battles for you because He is in eternal covenant with you to take on all enemies on your behalf. Do not doubt it. All your enemies will be trampled by Jesus who lives in and through you. Jesus knows your enemies quite well and He also knows the devil. Let Him fight for you.
Matthew 22:44 (NLT) “The LORD said to my Lord, Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies beneath your feet.” Ras Robinson
April 22, 2016. I know you have been betrayed. I saw what you saw and it also broke my heart. I know you had no idea what was going on. It felt like a knife had been plunged in your chest. It still feels like a knife in your chest. Satan picked an absolutely perfect time to do his dirty work. Don’t let your mind dwell on what you saw. Rely on Me. I will carry you through the days ahead.
Psalm 55:12-13 (NLT) “It is not an enemy who taunts me- I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me- I could have hidden from them. Instead, it is you-my equal, my companion and close friend.” Bev Robinson
April 22, 2016. Be obedient to the instructions I AM giving you. Know that you can greatly encourage and edify fellow believers and non-Christians alike by speaking words of life and light to them. Wait for My timing because My timing is always spot on and without wrinkle. Listen attentively to what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you in the here and now. Impart words of hope and faith to those who are near to you. Wait on Me.
Proverbs 25:11 (NASB) “Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in right circumstances.” Kevin Robinson
April 21, 2016. You have a reputation of being one who loves God’s scriptures and seeks to obey them. This brings pleasure to your Father in Heaven. Such a reputation will result in His blessings extending from you to generations now and in the future. The result within you now is that the kindness of the LORD can readily be seen in you and felt by others. Kindness is precious. Spread this precious kindness, born of faith and grace from God.
Psalm 21:7 (NASB) “For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.” Ras Robinson
April 21, 2016. I have established the path to your destiny. Don’t let anything stop you. There will be many roadblocks along the way. You have already experienced some and I am pleased with the way you have handled most of them. You are learning. Abraham’s father Terah settled for less than his destiny. Abraham didn’t stop. Abraham, your father in faith, is the one with whom I made a covenant. Don’t settle for less than your God given destiny.
Genesis 11:31 (NLT) “One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram’s wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran’s child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there.” Bev Robinson
April 21, 2016. Make time to stimulate your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ toward the fruit of the Spirit and toward good works. The time of My return is drawing ever closer, so now is the opportune time to stir up one another to do the work of My kingdom. Stop making excuses about why you have little or no contact with others concerning furthering My Kingdom. Live righteously and move about with a mission of showing My love to all.
1 Peter 4:11 (NIV) “If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” Kevin Robinson
April 20, 2016. Like no other day, today is a day to plant God’s law deep within your spirit, soul and body. There is a vacuum within your being that only God can fill. He fits you perfectly so that His brilliance takes command to render you pure, enlightening the eyes. In this way, the Lord will work in and through you to draw people to Himself. Can you comprehend this daily miracle within you? With the psalmist we say, “Great are you Lord!”
Psalm 19:7-8 (NASB) “The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.” Ras Robinson
April 20, 2016. The target and goal has remained before you. It has been in your mind and emotions and even your will for quite a while. You’ve managed your time well and you are right on target. Keep going the way you’re headed. Don’t allow yourself to get discouraged. Do whatever you can to encourage yourself. You’ve made room for error and that’s good. I AM pleased with you and I want you to be pleased with you.
1 Samuel 30:6b (AMP) “But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” Bev Robinson
April 20, 2016. A test is coming. In the future you will encounter a series of tests to see what is in your heart. It is in the testing that you will find out what kind of metal you are made of. This is a forewarning of trials which are coming your way. Prepare your mind for some extensive, grueling testing. Know up front that this is not a pass or fail exercise, but rather a gut check for self-evaluation. In this, your endurance will grow and you will become stronger.
James 1:3 (NLT) “For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.” Kevin Robinson
April 19, 2016. Are you a person who seeks to separate yourself from others? Could it be that you are hooked on seeking your own desire? God asks you to come close to Him and others and not to separate yourself. Ask Him to bring you back into the depth of His love and care. Increase intimacy within His presence. Expect insight into truth you have never before fully experienced. Worship God your Father and Best Friend ever.
Proverbs 18:1(NASB) “He who separates himself seeks his own desire, He quarrels against all sound wisdom.” Ras Robinson
April 19, 2016. When you seek Me above all others, you will find the best plan for anything, anytime for your life. Sometimes your emotions get too involved and sometimes your reasoning gets too involved. Emotions are good and reasoning is good. But My knowledge of the future will give you wisdom for everything that affects you. If you don’t know what to do, ask Me to stop anything before you that is not My desire for you. If I don’t stop it, move on with confidence.
Proverbs 3:5-8 (NKJV) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.” Bev Robinson
April 19, 2016. Don’t allow yourself to drift away because of some hearsay about the level of faith you may or may not have. Refuse to let your mind run rampant just because you might not fit into other peoples molds of how you should or shouldn’t think or speak regarding certain matters. Doing so is a trap from the enemy, who loves to throw it before you and remind you of it constantly. Free yourself of defeating mindsets and flourish right now.
Ephesians 6:11 (NLT) “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” Kevin Robinson
April 18, 2016. It is a great mystery how one can go within the same day from a broken spirit to a joyful heart. Blessed are you who can do this with ease. How can it be that a broken spirit can be completely converted to a joyful heart? The answer? By taking it to God and asking His help. Set your mind therefore on Him and things above. Train your mind to seek His face and His word about everything.
Proverbs 17:22 (NASB) “A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.” Ras Robinson
April 18, 2016. A busy time is just ahead. Now is the time for rest. This will enable you to go into the busy time with a clear mind and sufficient energy to stay on top of the job that is coming. Slow your pace and think ahead for the future, but not to the point of making definite plans for the busy time you know is coming. You have known about this for quite a while. Now rest.
Hebrews 4:1 (NIV) “Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.” Bev Robinson
April 18, 2016. Victory is sitting right outside your door. The issues which have plagued you for quite some time are coming to an end. Yes, victorious living is yours for the taking. There is no need to conjure up some sort of concoction to help relieve the soreness due to the defeat and heartache you have experienced in the past. Because of My love for you, success is waiting for you. Pick it up and embrace it.
Mark 10:27 (NLT) “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” Kevin Robinson
April 16, 2016. Nothing has ever touched my heart like believing that Jesus has my life and destiny in His hands forever. Is He the source of your joy? Is He your anchor in the storms that come. Today, let Him shine His light upon the path that leads you to fullness of joy and pleasure forever. Refuse to give the devil even one inch of ground. Resist him and cast him away daily. Have fun with Jesus today!
Psalm 16:11 (NASB) “You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” Ras Robinson
April 16, 2016. Pictures of past sins have flooded your mind. You have wondered why I would bring this up now. I didn’t bring this up. Remember you have an enemy, your adversary Satan who wants to plague you anyway he can. I defeated him publicly at the cross and resurrection. He found a crack in your armor and moved in with thoughts which cause you pain. I have removed your sins as far as the east is from the west.
Psalm 103:11-12 (NIV) “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Bev Robinson
April 16, 2016. Don’t put off today what I have said for you to do today. It’s easy to get caught up with your everyday affairs and lose track of the instructions I have given you. If necessary, make a checklist of what needs to be done and stick to it. Many plans have fallen through because of neglect of the primary initiative that was established and put into place. Trust Me to fulfill tasks I’ve given you today.
Proverbs 27:1 (NKJV) “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” Kevin Robinson
April 15, 2016. This day and for the rest of your life here on earth, you begin and end your life in the Lord. He orchestrated your birth and will preside as you pass from this life to Heaven. You may have little idea about your inheritance being in the Lord even though He speaks about it so often. He presides over every moment of your destiny. Be assured of this fact: He has already prepared well for the rest of your days. Rejoice.
Psalm 16:5 (GW) “The LORD is my inheritance and my cup. You are the one who determines my destiny.” Ras Robinson
April 15, 2016. Important events are ahead. Take the time now to prepare, even if it takes time that you do not have. Make time for this. Drop some things that are not essential. You do not want to neglect your preparations. They are important. Many people will be affected, more than you are aware of. Get in a quiet place. Get in My Word. Give yourself to prayer and seeking Me. Then take the time to listen.
Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Bev Robinson
April 15, 2016. Oh that you could only see the joy you bring to Me. If you could get a glimpse of how you delight My soul, maybe then you could see that there would be no sense in striving under the light of day. Let Me open the eyes of your heart to see yourself as I see you. I see you as perfect and complete. Position your hands in a posture to receive My love forever.
Isaiah 43:1 (ESV) “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Kevin Robinson
April 14, 2016. God stands ready to meet your every need and much of what you really want. Like an earthly father who loves his children, God hurts when you hurt. His heart is set to help and heal. He never wants to deny your need. Therefore, when you come to him in faith, believing and trusting in Him, He the provides what is needed. He delights in parents and leaders whose hearts are tender. No fear, just faith in Him.
Genesis 50:21 (NASB) “So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.” Ras Robinson
April 14, 2016. I want you to know how I see you. I see you through eyes of love. I see you as cool as the morning dew. I see you as a rose in bloom. I see you as alive as a happy bubbly child. I see you as a clear flowing mountain stream. You help people. You love people. You are unhindered by guilt or shame or blame. I love you with the Love of a devoted Father.
Romans 8:38 (NLT) “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.” Bev Robinson
April 14, 2016. You have just gone through some turbulent times of testing and now you are wondering what lies ahead. Keep your gaze fixed on Me at all times knowing that stormy times can come upon you without a moment’s notice. Take the necessary time now to gather your thoughts and gain your sense of direction. Satan would love to keep you off balance for as long as possible. Trust Me with your future plans and thrive.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Kevin Robinson
April 13, 2016. Sometimes the winds of the heavens turn as if on an axis only God could imagine. Springtime and harvest serve like boundaries for times of planting and harvesting. Who can fully understand? But we must. Those who are wise will detect the circular courses and their message. Those with insight and keen observation will find a way to track and forecast. The Holy Spirit is like the wind. No one fully knows or understands but still must respond to the winds.
Ecclesiastes 1:6 (NASB) “Blowing toward the south, then turning toward the north, the wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns.” Ras Robinson
April 13, 2016. I know you are concerned about the future. Concern is good. That shows you care, but be careful that your concern doesn’t turn into worry. There is cause for concern, but no cause for worry. The right kind of concern turns into action. Keep going the way and at the speed you are going, Blessing will come. I know it sometimes seems like I come through at two seconds until too late. But your faith will be rewarded.
Hebrews 11:6 (NASB) “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Bev Robinson
April 13, 2016. Your perseverance has not gone unnoticed. The diligence you have exhibited is very commendable. Now the time has come for you to reap what you have sown. You have spread nothing but good for a while now and it is time for your harvest to come. You have stuck to your plans and now it is about to pay off. Your timing in conjunction with Mine couldn’t have come at a better time than now.
Galatians 6:9 (AMP) “Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.” Kevin Robinson
April 12, 2016. Even spiritually mature and righteous leaders can miss out on what God is doing in their presence. After being awakened by an angel, the Apostle Peter saw and understood that God Himself had freed him from his chains and the prison. This episode was executed and orchestrated by God’s heavenly host. This whole episode suddenly became a glorious blessing not only to Peter, but also to his friends who were praying for him in their home. Only believe.
Acts 12:11 (NLT) “Peter finally came to his senses. “It’s really true!” he said. “The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do to me!” Ras Robinson
April 12, 2016. You heard Me in what was said. You heard in clear fidelity. The question is, what will you now do with what was spoken? Be sure you stay under authority. Tell authorities what you heard. They can sharpen the focus. Everyone didn’t hear what you heard. There is power and anointing in what was spoken, but all need to hear the one voice and then all will run with the vision and speak with one voice.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NASB) “Then the LORD answered me and said, “Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.” Bev Robinson
April 12, 2016. You know that you cannot judge a book by its cover. However you are a book that people can read at any time. That being said, what story are you conveying to people around you? Are you a living example of My Gospel with the things I AM doing and have done for you? People are looking for examples of the truth wherever they go. You are a book that people can read at any time.
2 Corinthians 3:2-3 (NASB) “You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” Kevin Robinson
April 11, 2016. By faith, you worship and serve your God who has no equal. Your God has His will especially for you. When you do and communicate things He has said to you in faith, there is great power released. That power is for the purpose of enabling every faith word to change the world around you. Faith is the key that opens the door to God’s earthly Kingdom. He does miraculous work in response to your faith. Believe.
Hebrews 11:3 (NASB) “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.” Ras Robinson
April 11, 2016. Directions were given, but there will be a detour. The detour will not keep you from getting to your destination. It will slow you down a bit, but the slowdown will get you to where you need to go at the exact time you need to be there. Don’t get discouraged with the detour. It is necessary for the correct timing. Many get the timing off. Stay with My route and the timing will be perfect.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NLT) “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” Bev Robinson
April 11, 2016. Although you may have incredible talents and be almost self-sufficient, be a team player. See to it that others are preferred before you are served and your needs are met. Look for strengths in other members of the body of Christ that can achieve the greatest good for all. Build up one another with affirming words and deeds. Humble yourself so that I AM magnified. Encourage one another continually.
Hebrews 3:13 (NASB) “But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” Kevin Robinson
April 9, 2016. Expect a miracle this very day! Stay alert and believe for it. Jesus will come by and work His miracle and it may come and develop in a surprising way. Some of His miracles were very public and could be seen by by-standers and those up close to Him. Today, let the Holy Spirit reveal the works of Jesus to you. Soar high and ride with Him on the clouds and in the winds. Watch and wait expectantly.
John 9:6-7 (NIV) “Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.” Ras Robinson
April 9, 2016. At this time the main person to get the problem fixed is you. Others are looking to you because you have the most experience in this area. There is a mountain of other things to get done and to you this is just one of them. Others don’t see your predicament. Don’t allow your thoughts to get caught up in what they are thinking or doing that is a detraction. You can fix this. Make it a priority.
Psalm 8:6 (NIV) “You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet.” Bev Robinson
April 9, 2016. Do whatever you can to show mercy to those to whom mercy is due. You yourself have been in a position where you needed an abundance of mercy shown to you and I granted it. Now others are in a position similar to the position you were in and they need the same mercy, but extended on an ongoing basis. Don’t make this a complicated matter. Be an example of Christian maturity and compassion.
Jude 22 (NLT) “And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.” Kevin Robinson
April 8, 2016. Someone has an impossible physical ailment. It is something you do not want people to know about. But you are considering calling out to Jesus for a miraculous healing. What should you do? Your faith in God has brought you thus far. Stand on that foundation of faith God planted within you and call for the healing. You have nothing at stake here. Throw yourself on the Lord and His gift of faith within you.
Matthew 8:2-3 (MSG) “Then a leper appeared and went to his knees before Jesus, praying, “Master, if you want to, you can heal my body. Jesus reached out and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be clean.” Then and there, all signs of the leprosy were gone.” Ras Robinson
April, 8, 2016. A new day is coming. It’s right around the corner. I’m saying this so you will not be caught unaware. You will be into it before you realize what is happening. Then you will begin to learn what it is all about. You have prayed for it in the past, but it has been long in coming and you have almost forgotten your request. This will be a good thing. You will understand it’s goodness as you go.
Psalm 31:19 (NIV) “How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.” Bev Robinson
April 8, 2016. Instead of getting caught up in a pessimistic mindset and agenda that can cloud your mind, find a way to count your blessings and focus upon all I have done for you. Dwell upon the good things I have accomplished for you in the distant past, yesterday and the here and now. Get caught up in the fact that I am your Provider, Deliverer, Healer, Savior and Lord. Focus on My righteousness.
Philippians 4:8 (KJV) “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Kevin Robinson
April 7, 2016. One of the greatest and most powerful enemies of success is to be double-minded. To be such is to allow your strength and focus to become blurred. Even the best sharp-shooter will miss the mark and fail. You should say, “I will do such and such according to the will of God.” This statement does not produce defeat, but rather it results in hitting the bull’s eye every time. Shoot straight.
James 4:8 (NIV) “Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” Ras Robinson
April, 7 2016. Something you believe I have initiated keeps getting put off. You have allowed other things to push it aside. The reason this has happened is that you haven’t given it high priority. Instead you have allowed other tasks to keep pushing it back. Ask yourself if God really said this. If He has, then schedule it like you would anything of importance. I know it doesn’t seem like something that needs to be scheduled, but if you want it done, do it this way for now.
Psalm 90:12 (ESV) “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” Bev Robinson
April 7, 2016. Learning to laugh is not always the easiest task, but learning to do so can substantially lighten your load. Allow yourself the freedom to laugh at all the circumstances you encounter, good or bad. In doing so, you will experience My joy in ways you have not felt before. Find creative ways to let yourself experience laughter to its full extent. Learn to laugh in the face of adversity and trials which come your way. Laugh wholeheartedly.
Psalm 126:2 (NLT) “We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” Kevin Robinson
April 6, 2016. Do you remember in times past how the Lord delivered you from bad situations that could have destroyed you? At the time, you knew it had to be the Lord’s hand that overpowered the attack. Today, the Lord is sending help that is sure to deliver. But you must remember the Lord and His ability to utterly defeat the devil who is out to kill and destroy you. So, call upon the Lord who is mighty to deliver.
1 Samuel 17:37 (NASB) “And David said, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and may the LORD be with you.” Ras Robinson
April 6, 2016. I aM saying again, change is coming. I’m not saying this to frighten you. I am saying it again so you will not be surprised. Change is necessary to move forward. Crabs, snakes, trees and plants and other living things have to shed their outer garments in order to grow. Do not be frightened. Instead be expectant for My growth. All will be well if you stay in Me and let Me work through you. Welcome change.
Joshua 1:9 (ESV) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Bev Robinson
April 6, 2016. Let goodness matter. When the world all around you is filled with things which are bad, let the wealth of My goodness transform the atmosphere where you live. Instead of coping with the ho-hum quandary of everyday existence, move above and beyond the fray. Allow My goodness to dictate what, where, and how righteous living is to take place. Don’t succumb to evil surrounding you, but rather transform living for goodness sake and for My glorious Kingdom.
Romans 12:9 (ESV) “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” Kevin Robinson
April 5, 2016. The King of glory brings joy and rejoicing to those who take refuge in Him. He delights in fighting your battles for you because you are chosen, raised up and blessed. Protecting you, in both good and bad times, is top priority for your King. Give yourself completely to Him, expecting the very best that you can imagine. And all this is yours simply because you belong to Him. Sing to Him and rejoice in Him night and day.
Psalm 5:11 (NLT) “But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.” Ras Robinson
April 5, 2016. Now is the time for rest. You have been doing good things, but even good things tire you out. Do whatever you need to do to find rest. I know there are important events ahead. You need to prepare for these events but your preparations won’t go well if you are tired. Let the people around you know you are going to take time for rest and the reason why. They can help protect your time.
Hebrews 4:1 (NASB) “Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.” Bev Robinson
April 5, 2016. Dying to self is easier said than done. To lay aside your life for My sake is foreign to your inner nature because staying alive is an inborn characteristic within your DNA. The thought that “to die is gain” does not compute with your natural thinking. Ask Me to give a paradigm shift in your mind. Live wholeheartedly for My sake and in whatever condition you find yourself, glorify Me. Make living count.
Philippians 1:21 (NIV) “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Kevin Robinson
April 4, 2016. Learning to worship God in the Spirit and in truth is usually a process that ends in a life that is changed forever. Jesus introduced the need for worshiping God in extravagant and creative ways. It is as if God is hanging a sign from the heavens soliciting believers who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. Blessed are those who seek after and then commit to this kind of worship God so enjoys. Give it to Him!
John 4:23-24 (NLT) “But the time is coming-indeed it’s here now-when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.” Ras Robinson
April 4, 2016. Are you ready? You have waited for Me, but I have also been waiting for you. I have known of your pain for a long time. I was there when events happened. Poor choices were made. I was there then and I AM here now. I know and I am here to heal. Now do not dwell on nor seek revenge. Turn it all over to Me. I know how to bring justice to the situation.
Isaiah 30:18 (NASB) “Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.” Bev Robinson
April 4, 2016. My timing is always spot-on. With that in mind, know you can rest accordingly and consequently concerning matters that do not require your immediate attention. There is no need to worry about what tomorrow may or may not hold. If it is a matter of control, rest in knowing that I have everything working exactly as it should be. Lay aside any fears you may have and know I AM working things out for you.
Galatians 4:4 (NLT) “But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.” Kevin Robinson
April 2, 2016. Someone was terribly rejected by his father. The father hated him, granting neither grace nor guidance. The child achieved much in collegiate studies and sports but the father never gave recognition. When he entered professional life and work, there was success that justified acceptance, affirmation and commendation from the father. It never came. Finally, he chose an alternative lifestyle and never married nor had descendants. Fathers, learn well and lead well your offspring. Children, God will be a good father to you. Seek His affirmation.
Psalm 2:7-8 (NASB)“I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.” Ras Robinson
April 2, 2016. You have done what you thought was best and you are still doing what you know to do. You’ve prayed, asked for wisdom, asked for success, believed and encouraged those around you. Don’t quit what you are doing. Don’t get into morbid introspection or inspection of what others have done wrong. It is time for something else to happen. It’s time to wait in faith.
Isaiah 40:31 (NASB) “Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.” Bev Robinson
April 2, 2016. As you are going forward, remember where you have come from. Joshua commanded the twelve tribes to gather, from the Jordan River, one stone for each tribe to place on dry ground as a memorial unto God for His deliverance of His people. What memorials are you putting in place to remind yourself and your descendants of what He has done for you? Recollect your memory bank to see what God has done for you and consider a ceremony or anniversary.
Psalm 77:12 (MSG) “I’ll ponder all the things you’ve accomplished, and give a long, loving look at your acts.” Kevin Robinson
April 1, 2016. Yielding to the Lord first thing each day is like opening a treasure chest and finding it full of gold. The favor and blessing of God has found you. Every prayer will be answered by God in one way or another. Once you have tapped into the peace of God, He will set your feet on level and solid ground. Then you can relax and give Him the steering wheel. Give yourself to obedience that pleases God.
Proverbs 1:33 (MSG) “First pay attention to me, and then relax. Now you can take it easy-you’re in good hands.” Ras Robinson
April 1, 2016. By all accounts this is a hard time, but I see you getting through this time with My grace. You are calling on My grace to sustain you and portraying My grace to others. Some know it is a hard time for you and others don’t see it at all. You are pleasing Me because you are walking in strong faith and exhibiting that I am a rewarder of faith. You are blessing Me and also blessing others.
Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Bev Robinson
April 1, 2016. Believe in Me to operate supernaturally through you at opportune times. Instead of thinking that you have to muster up a particular prayer or spiritual act of some sort at just the right moment, place your complete reliance upon Me. Let Me be the one who gives you a word of knowledge or word of wisdom. Depend upon Me to give you discernment in certain situations. Trust Me to guide your every move.
1 Corinthians 12:7-8 (NIV) “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,” Kevin Robinson
