September 30, 2014. Get away for a new perspective. The getaway doesn’t have to be far, just enough to change the scene of familiarity. This will help keep you from becoming stuck in a particular position that is waiting to overtake you. Don’t allow fear, which sits at your doorstep, to enter your house. Let Me refresh your mind and attitude. Goodness and fresh anointing awaits. Maintain the faith you already have. Don’t entertain any other option. If you will do this, there will soon come a deluge of understanding and action that will buoy you into success.
Hebrews 12:2 (AMP) “Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Bev Robinson
September 30, 2014. A victorious and successful life is indeed possible. All His promises are yes and amen for you. My word is near you, in you and serving as a light to the sometimes dark path you walk. Read and study His word daily. Success and victory start in humility before your Maker. His word in you is there to guide you through the maze of living in a world that is not your home. Before you daily is both life and good, right beside death and evil. You get to choose.
Deuteronomy 30:14-15 (AMP) “But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it. See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil. Ras Robinson
September 29, 2014. Let it sink deep within your brain how much you are loved. You have never experienced the kind of love I have for you. It is without comparison. I want you to try loving yourself and others this way, but at the same time realizing it will never perfectly reach the level of love I give. You have never known what it is completely. Nevertheless bask in it. You don’t have to know all about it to experience it and enjoy it. Enjoying it will cause you to want others to have it.
John 3:16-17 (ESV) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” Bev Robinson
September 29, 2014. Better times are coming! Take heart in knowing I have forgiven you and your nation because you repented and turned to Me. The redemption of Abraham is your ticket to better times. All his blessings have now been given to you. In his case, Abraham believed in God while he was asleep. As a result of his faith, God counted him as righteous. He got saved. The result of unmatched blessings began to flow eternally and do until this very day for believers in Christ. Believers inherit all the of Abraham blessings. Believe and receive them.
Isaiah 29:22-24 (NLT) “That is why the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says to the people of Israel, “My people will no longer be ashamed or turn pale with fear. For when they see their many children and all the blessings I have given them, they will recognize the holiness of the Holy One of Israel. They will stand in awe of the God of Jacob. Then the wayward will gain understanding, and complainers will accept instruction.” Ras Robinson
September 27, 2014. I have it all under control. Right now it doesn’t look like it, but nevertheless I do. I don’t control others just like I don’t control you. I love all of you too much for that. You will learn from this. Life runs by the law of reaping and sowing. I remind you of this so you will operate by the good things which I have told you. Continue reading, listening and obeying. My royal law is the law of love. Operate by that and you will succeed.
Joshua 1:8 (AMP) “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.” Bev Robinson
September 27, 2014. Jesus is comfortable having lavish and expensive praise. The Lord is saying today, “Make sure nothing is more important in your life than worshiping and praising Jesus. Make Him look good before everyone you know and see. Commit to this privilege. I sent the Holy Spirit to lead you to a higher level in honoring your Lord. He is the Enabler and Helper to get you to Jesus. Helping the poor, which you so enjoy, is not as important as lavishing outlandish praise of Jesus. Daily make Him the crown of your life.”
Matthew 26:11-13 (NIV) “The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.” Ras Robinson
September 26, 2014: Something was said that changed the whole outcome of your conversation. You responded with your flesh. This is something you don’t realize you do. This action is causing problems with others. I know you don’t realize you are doing this, and will stop when you see it. That’s why I am calling it to your attention. I know you want what I want. I know you want to grow in grace more than just about anything. You are precious to Me. Make the choice to obey. I will alert.
Philippians 3:13-14 (NASB) “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Bev Robinson
September 26, 2014. Consider your steps and your words before walking and speaking. Some say, “Well, I just speak my mind.” But godly counsel would say “Mind what you speak.” Consider the impact of your words on others once they are spoken. A quick answer can provoke anger. Right? Likewise, consider doing all in your power to promote unity in all circumstances. This is the loving thing to do. Avoid “just speaking your mind.” A friend lost through offense is nearly impossible to restore. Consider this prophetic word given to you in love.
1 Corinthians 10:32-11:1 (NLT) “Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.” Ras Robinson
September 25, 2014. Trusting Me is the second most important thing you will learn during your stay on earth. It is what you will do most of your living by if you are to be successful in all you do. When you learn to live by faith in Me, you will be able to maintain peace in all of your affairs. The most important thing to learn is love. You need to know really how much I love you so you can return My love. Then you will be able to love others with that love.
1 Corinthians 13:12-13 (NKJV) “For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” Bev Robinson
September 25, 2014. Desire and seek after the Caleb anointing and your heritage will be insured, protected and handed down through generations. Caleb stood out from all the others of his day. He had a different attitude. Loyalty in all situations is one of the greatest qualities observed in Caleb. He believed the Lord and waited many years for his inheritance through Joshua. Finally at age 85, he asked Joshua to give what was promised. Caleb’s greatest desire was given him, the land of Judah, just west of Jerusalem. Desire and seek the Caleb anointing. Enjoy it and pass it on to the generations that follow after you.
Numbers 14:24 (NLT) “But my servant Caleb has a different attitude than the others have. He has remained loyal to me, so I will bring him into the land he explored. His descendants will possess their full share of that land.” Ras Robinson
September 24, 2013. Words are coming soon that will let you know how much you are loved and appreciated. In past times you have more or less discounted words like this when they are said to you. This time Beloved, don’t let it just roll over your head. Begin stopping and taking note of what is said. You have been told that it will give you “the big head.” It hasn’t has it? No. Quite the contrary has happened. You have discounted much of what has been said. Beloved, stop. Soak in the knowledge that you are loved.
James 1:17-18 (NASB) “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” Bev Robinson
September 24, 2014. Love covers. Anything less than love falls short of the new commandment Jesus gave you in His New Covenant. Do not stop with just a puppy love which is shallow and does not last. Love in the same way God loves you. You were full of sin when He found you. But in loving you He paid for all your sins in the past, present and future. Now God does not see your sin but only sees someone He loves and has forever forgiven. This kind of love is what God desires you to have toward others.
1 John 3:23 (NLT) “And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us.”
1 Peter 4:8 (NLT) “Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.” Ras Robinson
September 23, 2014. Don’t give up. I know sin would like to take up residence. I also know the thought has crossed your mind. But when it was scratching around I watched you not allow it to roost or spend the night. This is a good thing you are doing, Beloved. The devil is watching to see if you are resolute. He will have to leave because he has no ground, but he has not gone forever. He will come back another way because he sees the stakes are very high. Stay determined.
Ephesians 4:26-27 (NKJV) “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,” Bev Robinson
September 23, 2014. Have the attitude of the psalmist and declare God’s word over your life. There are perhaps many things you could complain about. Perhaps there are unmet needs you could mention, but what about going ahead and saying what God says concerning your life? Notice that not only does the psalmist declare God’s word, he also joins with God in making a declaration. Peace will rule your life when you make the word of God supreme within and without your mind, will and emotions. For in His word there is life, grace and truth forever. Blessed be the name of the Lord forever. Try it.
Psalm 23:6 (NASB) “Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” Ras Robinson
September 22, 2014. Wisdom says to be prepared. Lay aside provision. Something will soon need to be repaired or replaced. What needs to be done remains to be seen. But now is the time to prepare. Don’t wait until the need happens. Think about it and be ready. If you don’t, there will be a problem. When you think ahead and are prepared, there will be no lapse in the necessary action to take. Believe Me now for the provision that will be needed. Don’t wait until the event happens or you’ll be sorry.
Ezekiel 38:7 (NASB) “Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them.” Bev Robinson
September 22, 2014. You have the name of an overcomer. Your faith has given you the power of excellence. The enemy knows you have such power. He stands on the outside accusing you. But the truth is that you have overcome the enemy because of the blood Jesus shed on the cross. Because you have overcome the enemy, I feed you with favor and blessings. Even greater things will you receive as rewards of overcoming. God, because you have overcome through Christ, has already given you a stone with you name inscribed. Receive and relish the name I gave you.
Revelation 2:17 (KJV) “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Ras Robinson
September 20, 2014. A new day is dawning. It has been rising slowly on your horizon for quite some time. The Son light of the day is revealing new truths. These truths have been around for eons, but the understanding is fresh and new to you. These truths will seem almost too good to be true. This is because you have been steeped in the old ways for a long time. Don’t let the newness cause you to shy away from the things you will learn. They bring blessings for a life time.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB) “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” Bev Robinson
September 20, 2014. “Did I not do it? Your eye pressure one month ago was 25 and you were at risk of losing sight in the eye. You and others prayed for a pressure reduction from 25 to 12. The doctor’s reading today was 12!” Surely my good doctor is thanked and praised. But my healing Jesus, as the Chief Physician, was and is in charge of my care. Can you think of something God has done for you that is so wonderful it defies clear description? Let us declare a day, today, of thanksgiving and praise to the Lord.
Psalm 20:1, 4 (NASB) “May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high! May He grant you your heart’s desire And fulfill all your counsel!” Ras Robinson
September 19, 2014. The thoughts you are having concerning your responsibility during an upcoming event are correct. Follow through with actions. You have prayed for revelation and I have given it. Don’t quit praying because there is more to come. Don’t allow yourself to second guess or become double minded. The temptation will come for you to rethink. Stay with the course I have established. Continue thinking and talking to me about it and I will continue talking and impressing you with actions to take. Don’t be shy. I will give you godly confidence and anointing.
James 1:6-8 (NASB) “But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” Bev Robinson
September 19, 2014. You are believing God for something impossible. In your spirit you know God will fulfill His promise. What could appear more impossible than for Abraham’s wife Sarah to become pregnant? She bore a son to Abraham who, with her, was far beyond child bearing age. The devil labored hard to tell them both that God would not do as He promised. But they believed God’s word to them until that awesome day came when Isaac was born. May it be so with you and God’s promises to you! Believe, then rest in Him!
Genesis 21:1-2 (NIV) “Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him.” Ras Robinson
September 18, 2014. Work has times of excitement, often when starting something new. Then there are times of routine when most work is just mundane tasks. Both are necessary. If too much time is spent on the mundane, the vision suffers. If too much time is spent on vision, the mundane suffers. Look to Me to show you the timing of both. I am in both the small and the large. If either is done at the wrong time, both can become laborious. I know the timing for everything under the sun. Seek Me.
Ecclesiastes 3:9-11 (NLT) “What do people really get for all their hard work? I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.” Bev Robinson
September 18, 2014. My eye is upon you watching, waiting. It is like the calm before a major storm. Angels have been stirring around you so you will not be afraid. Are you ready for something big to be manifested? Only those who have faith and who believe will have unhindered blessings. Your labor to enter His rest is absolutely required at this moment. Peaceful sleep will serve you well. Revelation of what God has done will fill your faith tank for the required diligence and needed endurance (Read Deuteronomy 18:1-14; John 1:16-17; John 7:19; Romans 13:10; John 1:14; Romans 5:21; Romans 6:14). By faith both grace and truth are yours. Gather it up and rejoice greatly.
Romans 12:5 (AMP) “So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one another].” Ras Robinson
September 17, 2014. Events have not happened the way you wanted. They haven’t even happened the way you thought possible. This has been a big surprise. Don’t let this throw you off course. You sought counsel and have done what was advised. All hell wants this to be a disaster. Take heart it won’t be. The initial confusion will fade away. It has already begun to do so, but you can’t see it yet . I’m protecting all who are involved. You did the right thing by listening and doing what your authorities counselled.
Proverbs 15:22 (NASB) “Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.” Bev Robinson
September 17, 2014. Today there is a shaking of all things shakable. The Lord is always by your side. Fret not when law and order collapse. The Lord still rules from Heaven without skipping a beat. He is the most watchful friend. His love is unending and His mercy knows no bounds. You are the apple of His eye and He has your name inscribed upon the palm of His hand. There is never reason for uncertainty. He keeps you steady with His watchfulness and attentiveness. Fear not. Do not worry. Only believe.
Psalm 11:3-4 (NLT) “The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do? But the LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth.” Ras Robinson
September 16, 2014. I have things for you to do that you don’t know about. I am getting ready to open your eyes into a new vista. At first it will not look very special. In fact it will not look good at all. But as you go along you will see this is good and it will eventually become very good. You will wonder if there will be warfare? Of course. Isn’t there always? But you will be able to put it under your feet quickly. I will show you how to overcome.
Numbers 13:30 (NASB) “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.” Bev Robinson
September 16, 2014. I gave you My all when upon the earth. Now I am expecting your all. Once I have it, the gates of Heaven will be opened so blessings upon blessings will be dropped upon. In fact, when this happens you will say these words, “Lord, you have dropped from Heaven blessing upon blessing. Yes, I gladly give my life on this earth for you.” His life for your life. What better deal could you ever imagine? Deny yourself and take up His cross and make it your own for the rest of your life.
Matthew 16:24-26 (NASB) “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Ras Robinson
September 15, 2014. Draw your mind in on the good things. Don’t allow it to think on the bad. Yes it can easily wander that way, but don’t let it. There are always bad things it can think of, especially when it has spent time thinking on these things before. A new path is available for good thoughts to run on. Make new connections. Let the old connections dry up and blow away. They will if you won’t think about them, if you won’t give them the time of day. Good things are coming.
Romans 6:12-13 (NLT) “Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.” Bev Robinson
September 15, 2014. How many times have unintended words slipped between the cup and the lip? At times words seem to slip from your mouth that you never intended to say. Sometimes you do not think and pray before speaking words. Today you can change all this. Make a covenant with your mouth and mind to pray and think before speaking. Someone said, “Well, I just speak my mind.” A mentor quipped in return “Well then, mind what you say.” A sudden ad dramatic change came into that person’s world. It can and should happen to you now as well.
Proverbs 15:1-2 (NASB) “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, but the mouth of fools spouts folly.” Ras Robinson
September 13, 2014. Let Me remove those stony places from your heart that no one sees but Me. They keep you from receiving so much good I have in store for you. I gave you a new born again heart, but sometimes you make judgments which cause stony places in your heart. They keep you from receiving the best I have. No one sees your heart like I do. When Satan brings those judgmental thoughts confess them. Let the blood of My son cleanse you before they rob your faith and My best.
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.” Bev Robinson
September 13, 2014. Jesus loves you to the end with no exceptions. He knows you are living in this world with all that is involved in that. Yet He loves you still. After all, Jesus Himself lived in the world. His standards of divine perfection are within you for Him to be Himself through you. He knows we can never, in and of ourselves, accomplish perfection. Therefore, we exchange our life for His and He lives our lives from within us as a permanent and powerful force that continually overcomes all things and loves others as He does.
John 13:1 (KJV) “Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.” Ras Robinson
September 12, 2014. Failure can only happen if you give up. The battle has been hard but you win. I will show you what to do. You didn’t miss Me. You heard Me. There is just more to hear. You haven’t received the whole word. Encourage yourself. Think of the things in the past where you thought you made a mistake but you pushed on through in faith. You didn’t give up and the reward was great. I know it is hard to remember that now, but refresh yourself in the Word.
Judges 20:22 (NASB) “But the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and arrayed for battle again in the place where they had arrayed themselves the first day.” Bev Robinson
September 12, 2014. Jesus said the poor will always be with us. That seems gloomy. But Jesus’ word, being interpreted, means get used to helping the poor. Make it a part of your everyday lifestyle to give and assist. It is just as good for you the giver as it is for them the receiver. Whether you are a church, business, school, family or any other organization, always make room in your budget to help in the ways they need. The result is that God will replenish whatever you give and reward you handsomely.
Psalm 12:5 (NLT) “The LORD replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.” Ras Robinson
September 11, 2014. Make Me your highest priority. Seek time with Me just like you seek time with others you love. There is no one who loves or cares for you as much as I do. I will never leave you. From time to time you leave Me, but still I will never leave you. I remain faithful even though you may not. I know sometimes it is easier to relate to those you do see rather than Who you don’t see. Spending time with me causes faith to rise in you.
2 Timothy 2:13 (NLT) “If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.” Bev Robinson
September 11, 2014. You are in good hands in God. You can never be shaken to destruction. God’s love and grace have gone before you and established your everlasting foundations. Your foundations therefore are based in law (fulfilled totally by Jesus in His death on the cross) and order (everything about you and for you has been established even before you were born). Take careful pains to know and understand your foundations of faith. Seek never to allow your faith to be weakened, keeping yourself strong in God through reading, studying and meditating on the Scriptures.
Psalm 11:3 (NLT) “The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?” Ras Robinson
September 10, 2014. Beloved what is ahead for you is so good. If I were to tell you specifically what is ahead, it would be hard to believe. You would spend time thinking about the reasons why the good things ahead could not happen. Yes you know you would. What I want you to do is develop such a trust in Me that you know without any doubt that what is ahead is good. Yes, the devil wants you fearful of what is ahead. Remember I have defeated him. I want you receiving the abundant blessings which I have stored for you.
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NASB) “but just as it is written, ” THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” Bev Robinson
September 10, 2014. Just because you are treated badly is no excuse to turn tail and run away from My callings or missions for you. In times like these it is incumbent upon you to think the best and do the best because of Who lives in you. The Christ in you is loving, kind and as courageous as a lion. Yes, there are times to be as a lamb, but times like these we face today are not such times. There is great opposition to our ministry of the Good News. Be of good courage in extending love and acceptance to those I have called.
1 Thessalonians 2:2-3 (NLT) “You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition. So you can see we were not preaching with any deceit or impure motives or trickery.” Ras Robinson
September 9, 2014. Yes, you made a choice. It appears now to have been a poor choice, the wrong choice. But don’t dwell on that. You have turned. You have another choice before you. Learn from what you did, but put it behind you. I have good ahead for you, just as I had good before. Make this choice with wisdom. This time make the choice that lines up with My written Word. You know in your heart what is the right thing to do. Don’t waiver. Make the choice that brings a blessing.
James 3:17-18 (NASB) “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.” Bev Robinson
September 9, 2014. Prepare yourself in such a way that you can be fearless except for the fear of God Himself because of His righteousness and perfection. Any fear that may ever come is but a switch button within you to take courage. I want you to believe in Me and also in all that I can do in and for you. No weapon formed against you can prosper. Instead, stand firm and strong in the Lord. As you do this, you will be able to take on any challenge the world has to offer.
Matthew 8:26 (NASB) “He *said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.” Ras Robinson
September 8, 2014. A door to a new path will soon open. You’ll discover quickly you’ve been down similar paths. So some things will appear to be like what you have seen before. But this will be different. Beloved, listen to Me as you go. Make up your mind that you won’t quickly quit. Instead learn and understand more about the process. This isn’t something you have to do, but something you want to do. Your heart is to help others. Listen to Me as you go. Keep your focus on helping yourself then you can more easily consider helping others.
Isaiah 30:21 (NASB) “Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left” Bev Robinson
September 8, 2014. The Lord God Almighty is always by your side. He is the best shield you could ever have against the devil with his schemes and evil plans. Your salvation and deliverance is forever secure because He loves you and your love for Him is unending. Many attacks have come against you. The Lord feels and endures it all even before it gets to you. So many things that could attack you are never permitted beyond His shield. You have never had a friend like Jesus. He never leaves you or even thinks of abandoning you.
Psalm 7:10 (NASB) “My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.” Ras Robinson
September 6, 2014. I’m sending help. It has been in the pipe line for a long time . There have been prayers in the Spirit that have been piling up. They are waiting for the exact moment you are ready. Up until now you haven’t been ready, but lately hope has come that this will soon be over. Soon you will move on into faith, enough faith that it will bring energy enough for action and action enough to bring victory. Excitement is rising up inside you. This is good. Be excited because victory is coming.
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
September 6, 2014. Sons and daughters are the fruit of a marriage. They should reflect the goodness of their parents. It is a good thing when honor flows from parents to children and then from the children back to the parents. Of such is a happy and blessed home found. Your sons and daughters should be raised in such a way as to always observe the commandments of their father and to not forsake the teaching of their mother. Fathers must insist upon submission to the mothers by the children and in like manner the mothers must be in submission to the fathers.
Proverbs 6:20-21 (NASB) “My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother; bind them continually on your heart; tie them around your neck.” Ras Robinson
September 5, 2014. You have a gift. It came from Me. It makes you a delight to many and is for the purpose of teaching others My ways and My truths. You explain things about how to live life thoroughly and powerfully. You are also very trusting. Both these gifts are good. Both come from Me. But I am alerting you to be cautious. Not everyone can be trusted and not everyone believes as you do. Do not get wordy. Use discretion with those to whom you speak. Problems will arise if you don’t.
Proverbs 10:19 (NASB) “When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.” Bev Robinson
September 5, 2014. As believers we are cautioned not to grieve the Holy Spirit by corrupt communication from our mouth. Instead, be careful to edify, encourage and comfort with your words. Bring forth grace from the Lord in your voice and words from your lips. Determine to be a blessing to your hearers. Let no curse ever be heard from you. Be one who establishes good in the world about you. May it be said of you that you are and were one who spoke as from God Himself. Make the Holy Spirit happy.
Ephesians 4:29-30 (KJV) “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” Ras Robinson
September 4, 2014. The challenge before you can be met. It can be even overcome and be overcome easily, that is if your thinking and emotions are in the right position. That right position is in Me. When you first put your trust in Me your position changed from that of being in the world to that of being in Me. You forget from time to time, especially if there is a surprise challenge. Satan thrives on surprises. He lurks in hiding until he is least suspected. Remember you are safe in Me.
John 15:4-5 (NLT) “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” Bev Robinson
September 4, 2014. In the last few months, four precious Christian friends and brothers were called home to be with the Lord in Heaven. This was not easy for us who loved them so much. Earth is not our permanent home. We believers are Heaven bound. While here, it is so important to keep your mind on heavenly places. Think often of the rewards, the joys and continual presence of the Lord that awaits you. This trouble and distress will be left behind when God calls you home to Heaven.
Psalm 119:143-144 (NIV) “Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands are my delight. Your statutes are forever right; give me understanding that I may live.” Ras Robinson
September 3, 2014. Don’t worry. Everything will fall into place. Right now it appears to be a big blob of things yet to accomplish. You and I both know what needs to be done. It will get done if you do not get flustered. Continue to work at a steady pace. These are not superfluous things that need to be done. They are necessary and there is plenty of time to get them done. Right now it doesn’t seem like there is sufficient time, but there is if you will remain at peace, Beloved.
John 14:27 (NASB) “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.” Bev Robinson
September 3, 2014. Be on the alert. The devil is stalking and sneaking as a fox surveying the chicken house at night. He is ready to steal, kill and destroy. This is his job in this world. Christians are to him like chickens all cooped up and ready for destruction. His target in reality is the Lord Jesus in the earth. He wants to see if he can deceive you and discredit Jesus. He is a schemer who hates Christ and all believers. Therefore stand strong against him, especially in the word of God as our sword.
Psalm 59:9-10 (NASB) “Because of his strength I will watch for You, for God is my stronghold. My God in His lovingkindness will meet me; God will let me look triumphantly upon my foes.” Ras Robinson
September 2, 2014. A blessing is on its way. You think that is too hard to believe because you just got a big blessing. My child, get ready. It’s on its way. Don’t think you won’t have a blessing because you recently received one. This is going to overtake the first one. They are both good. This one will not be better than the other. They are different but alike. They both have come from Me at My promptings. Others are at My bidding because they too have and continue to receive blessings.
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
September 2, 2014. Turn around and go back. You may not have sinned but you have left behind some peace you once enjoyed. This is not major, just a course correction. And in case there is sin, you can so quickly be forgiven. I stand ready with grace and favor. You almost never stray far away. Your good heart is an effective and loving bridle. A slight tug on the neck and mane and you so easily return. I am so very proud of you. It is My delight to call you My child.
Acts 3:19-21 (NASB) “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” Ras Robinson
September 1, 2014. My favor never ends. You haven’t always remembered to received it but it is always available. This message is to remind you to think often about My favor. Read about it in My Word. Study it. Stay mindful of it. Get it deep into your psyche. Receive it. It originated with Me, is transferable by Me and never runs dry. Favor begets favor. The more you receive, the more is available. You can’t earn it, but you can receive it by believing. My Son’s obedience made it available.
Ephesians 2:8 (AMP) “For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved ( delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;” Bev Robinson
September 1, 2014. You are bold and confident. Linger not between two opinions. You know what you think because of the trials and tests you have endured. Now you are a good and strong soldier of the cross. Confidence is easily recognized in your eyes and demeanor. I have given you holy boldness. Do not hold back what I have put into your heart and mind. You are no novice nor are you easily intimidated. Stay alert and fit for battle. My angels stand beside you to assist. Together we win every battle.
Acts 4:29-30 (NASB) “And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” Ras Robinson
