July 31, 2014. I established the course quickly. What’s ahead will also happen quickly. Beloved, keep your attitude positive. What’s happening is My plan. Flex. Make a choice to walk the high road. If you do this, you’ll look back on it and say, “that was really good.” If you walk the low road, you won’t have peace. If you stay positive, you will look back on a good memory you can draw on for a long time. If you walk the high road, this will be a big blessing.
Psalms 29:11 (NASB) “The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.” Bev Robinson
July 31, 2014. “I can see, I can see” said the blind man Jesus healed. At first, he saw men as trees walking, but Jesus touched him again, healing him completely. Jesus performed the works of His Father because He could see the Father’s works. Over the years of His ministry, Jesus healed multitudes, but only because that was what God was doing. You are blessed because you can see with your physical eyes. But there is more. You also see what is happening in the Kingdom of God, healing, casting out devils and glorious salvations. Pray for eyes to see.
Matthew 13:16-17 (NASB) “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.” Ras Robinson
July 30, 2014. Thinking and speaking about the ways I have rescued, led and blessed you time and time again, causes more blessings to abound. Dwelling on past hurts and disappointments will cause more sorrows. You get to choose which you will do. I am praying for you to choose the way of blessing. Yes, even abundant blessings. Don’t deny the sorrows that happened, but leave them to their own devices. They will dry up and disappear. They don’t deserve to hang around. They only produce more sorrows. Hang with the blessings and more blessings will occur.
Amos 9:13 (NASB) “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will drip sweet wine And all the hills will be dissolved.” Bev Robinson
July 30, 2014. We share the same Patriarch in Abraham. He is our father/patriarch in being blessed and in blessing others. God used him and his life to teach the world and believers in Christ how to live in blessings. You will find a pattern to follow in both receiving and giving blessings. You are reading this today because of your hunger for more of God. We cannot help God be God nor can we help Abraham be Abraham. But we can receive the “I wills” of God’s blessings. His blessings to us require no works on our part. Because he has blessed you, you will desire to please Him.
Genesis 12:2-3 (NASB) “And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” Ras Robinson
July 29, 2014. Listen to Me. Have any thoughts turned to worry? Are you losing sleep? Are even your everyday activities causing you some worry when you get quiet? These attitudes will rob you from receiving My promises. Your worries can hinder and cause you to miss much that is stored up for you. All My promises are yes, but don’t let your receiving be no without even realizing it. Don’t let what is going on deep within your mind hinder your faith. Beloved, worry can cause the nos to override the yeses.
Proverbs 16:3 (AMP) “Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.” Bev Robinson
July 29, 2014. The Lord is calling you to high places. There you will eat from His table. Should you decide to accept My offer today, you will be joining the high council of God. All of your spiritual heroes will be there. Can you imagine the food, wine and peaceful fellowship? The Lord often dines with His most chosen, many of which are your heroes in the faith. First, be thankful for your leaders and pray often for them. Decide to obey the invitation from Paul to be like him, receiving long-lasting peace in your heart.
Philippians 4:9 (NASB) “The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”
2 Samuel 22:34 (NASB) “He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.” Ras Robinson
July 28, 2014. Something happened that you have been expecting for a long time. You’re not specifically prepared, but it won’t upset your progress. I will show you what to do as you go along. I will bring to remembrance how I handled similar difficult and challenging situations. There will be times you will know almost instantly. You will have learned through challenges already experienced throughout life. Stay abreast of the situation and it will not be the problem that it could be. If you lag behind it will definitely be a problem.
Ephesians 6:18 (NASB) ” With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,” Bev Robinson
July 28, 2014. You need to settle down. Fretting and worrying is useless. Finally, at the end of the day, you found yourself ready for prayer. I am the good Father that people dream of having. You have Me as a devoted and generous parent. Think on these things of My goodness and forget about the fretting and worrying. You are wasting your time mulling over things over which you have no control. Turn it all over to Me. In doing so, you will begin to feel My wholeness which will settle you down.
Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG) “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” Ras Robinson
July 26, 2014. What did I say? I have already told you. You have strayed away from the original thing I said. You’ve wondered how you take your thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ. My Son did exactly what I said. He didn’t let His thoughts get ahead of His actions. Yes He knew He came to earth to be crucified, but He did what was before Him. He stayed in the realm of the present. He never allowed Himself to worry about what was ahead. You do the same.
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
July 26, 2014. You have challenges and tests of impatience concerning a certain matter. You have an urgency that causes you to be eager and not patient. You want results now, not later. The challenge for you is that you must wait for some things to evolve or to manifest. This is not bad as long as you keep it under control . It works better for you if, when you feel overly urgent, you simply take a deep breath and pray. Do not sacrifice your faith when challenges come. Instead, ask Me.
James 1:4-5 (KJV) “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Ras Robinson
July 25, 2014. A new day is before you. It is here right now. This is a day you have been seeking for a long time. You actively sought it, even passively seeking it in the back of your mind. It is here. Right here, right now. You haven’t given up seeking Me. You haven’t given up searching My will while I was calling for you. Now is the time of understanding. Follow Me closely. Of course the devil will come to try to knock you off center. Resist him and follow me.
Psalms 95:7 (MSG) “Oh yes, he’s our God, and we’re the people he pastures, the flock he feeds. Drop everything and listen, listen as he speaks:” Bev Robinson
July 25, 2014. Doing the right thing is important to you. You see this standard of behavior in others and admire it. Clinging to the quality of being just, impartial or fair results in being guided by righteousness. You seek to live a righteous life for the Lord. Christ is your standard, your flag of doing the right thing. All this works for you because you have stored up wisdom for walking in integrity. There is no room within you for double mindedness. This is why peace rules your heart. Believe!
Proverbs 2:7-9 (NASB) “He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice, and He preserves the way of His godly ones. Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity and every good course.” Ras Robinson
July 24, 2014. I have given you instructions. Don’t dilly-dally with other suggestions. Stay with the original word I gave you. It is okay to listen to others, but don’t let it override what I have already told you. The instructions have become confused in your thinking. Go back to the beginning. Investigate thoroughly what I said. Discard all other words that have not come in line with the original instructions. Walk in innocence, not with accusations. Yes, I will give further words, but they will not interfere with the first word I gave you.
Psalms 37:18-19 (NLT) “Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough.” Bev Robinson
July 24, 2014. You can have Abraham’s faith. I showed Abraham what was, to him totally impossible. Sarah and he were aged beyond child-bearing age. But I took Abraham outside and showed him the stars in the heavens and told him this would be the number of his descendants. This was not so, but it was so by faith. Abraham believed in the Lord. At that moment, there became no impossibilities. Your own faith in the Lord unlocks the doors to your impossibilities. Right now you are facing a huge impossibility. Only believe and obey!
Genesis 15:5-6 (NASB) “And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be. Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.” Ras Robinson
July 23, 2014. There is a deep misunderstanding within. I will show you something that you declare you don’t believe. It isn’t clearly evident, but nevertheless it’s there. It will come as somewhat of a surprise, but don’t deny it when I show you. There is no condemnation involved. It is a way of thinking that has slipped into your sub-consciousness that is not good for you. It comes up from time to time. I want you to know who I have made you to be and the success I have for you.
Joshua1:8-9 (NLT) “Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Bev Robinson
July 23, 2014. The Lord says, “You have nothing to worry about. Security is yours during difficult times and even in wars and skirmishes. You are not exempted from troubles. Battles are inevitable. Not to worry. My eternal covenant with your spiritual father Abraham is yours as a guarantee. Your enemies become My enemies; your battles are My battles. Your role? Fear not, only believe. Yes, I know it is hard to walk away from a fight and to turn the other cheek. In so doing, you will become stronger and be known as a peaceful overcomer.
Psalm 31:20 (NASB) “You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.” Ras Robinson
July 22, 2014. What you planned has been thwarted. Don’t allow a simple roadblock to hinder your progress . It is good that you are learning about flexibility. Being flexible in this matter will not keep the long range plan from being accomplished. The main thing to remember is I have it all under control. When you keep this in mind your operating faith won’t lag. But if you begin to worry that the original plan is faltering, you will get completely off track. Resist having faith in faith. Have faith in Me.
Hebrews 11:8 (NLT) “It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going.” Bev Robinson
July 22, 2014. Stand near Me on this rock. While here you will experience My presence like never before. Standing with Me will gain for you in this world a stature for Me you have not known. Your testimonies now and in the future will tell the story of how a believer can go from one glorious encounter to yet another. Never be afraid of the supernatural. Your new and increased anointing will stretch you both inside and outside. I am your ultimate covering, refuge and shield. I will never forsake you.
Exodus 33:21-22 (NLT) “The LORD continued, “Look, stand near me on this rock. As my glorious presence passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.”
Psalms 91: 1,4 “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.” Ras Robinson
July 21, 2014. If you have your mind set in a negative position, the negative can readily be seen. Beloved, don’t allow your mind to look for things that are wrong. That is not good for others and certainly not good for you. This mindset does your health no good. Look for the good and set your mind on the good. This isn’t the first time I have said this. Listen to Me. I tell you things for the good of others but especially for your good. Listen and live in fullness.
Philippians 4:8 (NASB) “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” Bev Robinson
July 21, 2014. Walk in My presence. Stay close. You and I enjoy an uncommon intimacy. Your future is bright and glorious. I am so proud to have made the decision to gather you within My circle of chosen ones. I have been waiting for you while you have been waiting for Me. Now is the time to manifest My love and profound anointing as My gift to you. I am investing in you. Now you are to invest generously and sacrificially in My Kingdom. Reign in life by one Christ Jesus.
Exodus 33:14-15 (NASB) “And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest. Then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.” Ras Robinson
July 19, 2014. “I don’t know when to start” is what you are thinking. I’m saying to do it soon. You don’t need to have all the answers. In the first place, you will never have all the answers. If you think you have to wait until then, you will never start. Waiting for perfection causes paralysis. I am the perfect one. I say start. I will show you as you go. If I showed you or told you the whole picture, you would be totally overwhelmed and afraid to start. So get going now.
Isaiah 30:21 (NLT) “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.” Bev Robinson
July 19, 2014. Moses was a man who knew what it meant to speak with God personally and face to face. This encounter between a man and his God enables an intimacy between them. For Moses, this intimacy became the channel wherein God directed the path of Moses and even told him, in great detail, how to build the first tabernacle and the ark to house the Ten Commandments. As born again believers, we are to daily seek God’s counsel and direction. He still grants an audience to those to seek Him. Daily seek His face.
Exodus 33:14-15 (NASB) “And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest. Then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.” Ras Robinson
July 18, 2014. My timing is needed. Something suspicious appears to be going on. You don’t know if you know for sure, but it doesn’t feel right. Don’t say something about it too quickly. That is exactly what Satan wants you to do. Wait on Me. Wrong timing will cause real problems. It will take more time to correct than it will to wait on the right timing. Don’t make choices based on suspicion. Remember the times you have been wrong and the problems it caused. Beloved, be led by Me rather than by your suspicions.
Isaiah 30:18 (NKJV) “Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.” Bev Robinson
July 18, 2014. You give credit to whom credit is due. Gratefulness is an anchor of your soul. Blessings after blessings flow from your lips. Building up others is seen by you as a privilege. You enjoy doing it more than the receivers enjoy getting it. Happiness and joy flood your body, soul and spirit. You have learned full well that it is more blessed to give than to receive. God our Father says, “Forget about your past before you received Christ as Savior. I have. Give, give, give and then give some more. I am in you and with you in all things!”
Colossians 1:21-22 (NLT) “This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Ras Robinson
July 17, 2014. My voice came quietly in the stillness of the moment. It came so quietly it was almost not heard. Now it is coming to the surface more clearly. You are remembering. The door has been opened. In the past you have walked right on by. Don’t do that this time. Walk through the door. There are things behind the door that you need to pursue. There are things I will teach you. There are also things that others need to hear. These words will be life changing for their good.
1 Kings 19: 12 (NKJV) “and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” Bev Robinson
July 17, 2014. Your Father in Heaven is waiting for you to ask Him for something. He has what you need; it is stored up waiting for you. You have not received them because you have not asked. You think you do not deserve anything from your Father because you feel unworthy. Do you think the Father would be happy about you not receiving His total forgiveness for all your sins past, present and future? Since the time you were born again and received the Holy Spirit, you are blessed with every spiritual blessings in heavenly places. Ask of Me.
John 16:23-24 (NASB) “In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.” Ras Robinson
July 16, 2014. There are two things from which to choose. You’ve been wondering which one is best. Choose them both. This isn’t an either/or choice. It is a both/and choice. You think that is too good to be true. Yes it is, but I work in a realm other than you do. There are a lot of things I have in store for you that, from the world’s point of view, are too good to be true. Get up in My realm. Rise above your realm. See from My perspective and walk in great faith.
Matthew 15:28 (NIV) “Then Jesus answered,”Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” Bev Robinson
July 16, 2014. Yesterday was our weekly day off for Bev and me. She drove south and I headed west. She took one day and I took three days. Each of us was able to disconnect from day-to-day activities and surrounding stormy atmospheres. The thunder and lightening was a bit scary. Jesus Himself set the pattern for us to seek solitude in God’s presence. This morning we are refreshed with a relaxed and grateful attitude. Being hidden in the wilderness shocks your system so that you experience something like the “recess” once enjoyed in grammar school. Calm and peace rule.
Psalm 55:6-8 (NASB) “I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. I would hasten to my place of refuge from the stormy wind and tempest.” Ras Robinson
July 15, 2014. Don’t stop. You are going the right way. You know well there have been obstacles in arriving where you are, but haven’t I brought help or insight to meet each obstacle? You know I have. There will always be roadblocks even when you are going in the right direction. But the rewards have always been, and will continue to be, greater. I have so much more for you than you are now experiencing. What you are receiving now is good, but more is on its way. Now receive My encouragement.
Luke 12:24-25 (NASB) “Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span?” Bev Robinson
July 15, 2014. You are a Joshua type. Later in life you will become a Caleb type. The characteristics of being strong and courageous define and mark you. God is calling you out into uncharted battles for the souls and lives of the young adults and children. You will win these battles in the Lord. Future generations will follow you. You will see to it that these generations will be touched, filled and baptized in the Holy Spirit. They will exude power and confidence as a lifestyle. A culture of godliness and righteousness is yours to demonstrate and command.
Joshua 1:9 (NASB) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:18 (NASB) “Anyone who rebels against your command and does not obey your words in all that you command him, shall be put to death; only be strong and courageous.” Ras Robinson
July 14, 2014. Give and give some more. Don’t get on the path of taking and taking more. Giving is the path going up. It’s the high road. Taking is the path going down the low road. Camp beside the high road. It’s okay to take from time to time, but there will be more to take if more has been given. My way is the upside down invisible way. Events are happening that would astonish your mind if the curtain was pulled back and you could see into the spiritual world.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (NLT) “That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.” Bev Robinson
July 14, 2014. Pressure is building up. It is causing some discomfort. There is serious danger to your health if this pressure flares up into stress. It is time to stop and pay attention to the vital issues. Why is there pressure? There is a gradual and now critical blockage of the necessary flow of vital fluids. If the blockage is not removed, there can be great loss. Thus is the story and pathology of an eye disease called glaucoma. Surgery to relieve the pressure can save the eye. Jesus says, “The blind receive sight.” Believe and obey.
Matthew 11:4-5 (NASB) “Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see:the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT…” Ras Robinson
July 12, 2014. Something new is coming up on your horizon. It’s not really new but will be presented with so much depth it appears new. It is something you have known and operated by, but it will be more simply applied. It really will be a new approach to an ancient subject. Pay close attention to what is being said. The illustrations will be so strong that they will almost be unbelievable. But refuse unbelief. Keep an open mind and spirit. You’ll learn some things you have not known before.
Matthew 13:52 (MSG) “He said, “Then you see how every student well-trained in God’s kingdom is like the owner of a general store who can put his hands on anything you need, old or new, exactly when you need it.” Bev Robinson
July 12, 2014. Are you still feeding on milk rather than meat? Some seem never to graduate from milk to meat. How do you rate yourself? Paul changed nations after nations because his standard for spiritual nutrition was for meat to quickly replace milk in the spiritual diet for believers. Milk is good for infants and little children. Adults appreciate milk but really need meat (like being taught the frank truth about Christianity and how to become like Jesus). Have you begun to get serious about increasing meat in your diet? Eat right as an adult.
1 Corinthians 3:2-4 (KJV) “I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?” Ras Robinson
July 11, 2014. Faith activates the promises you have received. Don’t let your faith lag. Do whatever it takes to walk in faith. Read My Word. Hear My voice. See your needs met. Imagine your wants met. Don’t fall into a pit of entertaining doubts and unbelief. Don’t open that door even a crack. You have sought Me. You have heard Me. Where do you think the desire came from? Of course it came from Me. You have been willing to go without. You have learned to abase and abound. Now believe Me.
Romans 15:13 (NASB) “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Bev Robinson
July 11, 2014. Deep is the valley of discipline. Who enjoys it? Wise is the one who gains from discipline insight and wisdom for the future. Do not be one who never has a clue as to why discipline has come. Self-pity never gains good for you, does it? Kick that sick thought out of your house. The Lord says, “Child, you are being trained and seasoned right now for the days ahead. When they arrive you will have had complete victory over your present circumstances. You will be telling your story of My deliverance.”
Hebrews 12:11 (NASB)All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Ras Robinson
July 10, 2014. Now is the time for faith. I respond to faith. The only fear you need to have is fear of Me. This is not a fear that makes you cower or retreat; it is a powerful knowledge, a very deep knowledge of who I AM and what I will do. I AM the only one who can fix this. People are looking to you. You need to be looking to Me. The enemy is raking many Christians over the coals. This is your sign to move forward in faith, not retreating to fear.
Luke 18:8 (NASB) “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Bev Robinson
July 10, 2014. It was a day like today. You heard a rumor audibly as well as in your heart that God wanted to flood you with more of Himself. You have not earned this greater grace. But now, humble yourself and inquire. What happens next can happen to you as God’s gift. Of His kindness, He saved you. (Make certain of it.) Moreover, out of His mercy, He wants to refresh your washing of rebirth and to manifest for you the renewal by the Holy Spirit to fully become a half-heir with Jesus because of the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:4-7 (NIV) “But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.” Ras Robinson
July 9, 2014. Is what you are believing too good and too big to hope for? Do you think I said it? Yes I know you believe that. Then it isn’t too good or too big. I know your heart is to have what I have to give to you. You also want many people to walk at least where you are and then to walk on further. You have love in your heart. That love is not a selfish love; it is royal love that I have given to you for others.
James 2:8 (NLT) “Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Bev Robinson
July 9, 2014. You are in a whirlwind. God has sent the swirling tempest. He fills the wind and the storm with darkness. God is teaching you end-time strategies. Now you know and will know just how supernatural God is. He even sent the whirlwind to prepare you for being separated from everything except God. A chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared to Elijah and Elisha. I took Elijah into heaven via a whirlwind. Afterwards Elisha did much greater works than Elijah had done. Sometimes separation from loved and honored ones is a good thing if greater things are to be done.
Jeremiah 23:19 (NASB) “Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked.”
2 Kings 2:11 (NASB) As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.” Ras Robinson
July 8, 2014. Don’t get your dander up. Everything and everyone including you will be much better off if you stay calm. There is nothing you can do about it at this late date anyway. So why worry? Why get out of sorts? That does no one any good, especially you. There will be other disappointments at times . Let all of this scenario play out. It is time to begin again anyway. You have learned some ways to handle these disappointments lately. Apply what you have learned. Forgive and release it all to Me.
Psalms 37:7-8 (MSG) “Quiet down before God, be prayerful before him. Don’t bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top. Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes-it only makes things worse.” Bev Robinson
July 8, 2014. This is a day of spiritual mentoring and counsel. You may feel or think you are qualified to preach and teach because you have been called. That is not necessarily so. Paul was wise enough to know he had much to learn from the Apostles, but he knew them not. He had preached some and in doing so, found great favor in converting and teaching the Jews in Damascus. Wisely he was led to spend 15 days with Peter before meeting the rest of the Apostles. They received and blessed him. The rest is history.
Galatians 1:18 (NASB) “Then three years later I (Paul) went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas (Peter), and stayed with him fifteen days.”
Acts 9:22 (NASB) “But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.” Ras Robinson
July 7, 2014. Not much is going on, is what you’re thinking. Those thoughts could not be further from the truth. In the realm of what you are doing today, it is true. But the prayers you have prayed are working with power that you cannot see. The word you got from My Word and have written down and spoken, angels are now carrying it out. This is often what is happening when it is least evident in the natural. Angels are going at My speed to manifest in the natural what you’ve prayed.
Psalms 103:19-20 (NASB) “The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all. Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!” Bev Robinson
July 7, 2014. Troubling days always come. You have enjoyed so much peace in your life. Both peaceful and troubling days are ahead. Get ready. If you do not yet have a secret place, I have one for you. No one can conceal you like Me. Come into My tent. There I will secure your feet on a Rock. This Rock is readily available wherever you choose as your secret place. Do not be a stranger there. Go there as often as you need it and especially when I call you there. My presence awaits you.
Psalm 27:5 (NASB) “For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.” Ras Robinson
July 5, 2014. Watch your manners. This isn’t a rebuke or necessary for living, but it’s important when relating to others. You don’t want to appear coarse or uncouth. I have called you to walk among and relate to everyone, not just to those who have less than you. I have called you to walk both among the cultured and uncultured. When you least suspect it someone is watching. You are a leader and witness. Give witness of Me who walked in Truth among all peoples. You are always to be an example of Me.
1 Corinthians 9:22-23 (MSG) “I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!” Bev Robinson
July 5, 2014. Others are watching you. They know about you already. Yet they want to see how you will handle issues in life. The spotlight makes you uncomfortable. At times you feel it is unfair to be under what seems like a microscope. But you can now understand how Jesus may have wearied at times of being constantly watched. He never once sinned, living a perfect life in every detail. We are to be like Him in every detail. He has chosen you to be exactly like Him and you are being watched, just as He was watched.
1 Peter 2:21-22 (MSG) “This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step. He never did one thing wrong, Not once said anything amiss.” Ras Robinson
July 4, 2014. Go with the flow. The wind of My Spirit is blowing you down the path of least resistance. This is a good thing. Do not resist, fight or even doubt it. Work with the Holy Spirit. Follow My Spirit. The lack of resistance is because of an open door. It’s a door I have opened. It opened so easily and freely you wondered if it was from Me or if there was a temptation behind it. It’s from Me. You will see it is something you have deeply wanted.
John 3:8 (NASB) “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Bev Robinson
July 4, 2014. You have been freely given the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. You are no longer bound by the sin of Adam. Instead, you are given grace upon grace through Jesus Christ. Jesus willingly gave His life on the cross for this day in which you shine. There is nothing ordinary about you. You are truly exceptional in the world and forevermore. Your Heavenly Father has set you on high in heavenly places to forever be an overcomer and victor over the devil. Give your life. Multiply.
Romans 5:17 (NASB) “For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” Ras Robinson
July 3, 2014. Do the right thing. Do whatever you need to do to get back on course. Other things have taken you away from the basics. That’s okay. Being involved in other things is needed from time to time. But now it is time to retreat to the familiar. Don’t let what built up while you were somewhere else remain. Prune the excess. Don’t go down another path right now. Shore up your base that you must have in working order when I call you suddenly to pursue other things.
Ecclesiastes10:2 (NASB) “A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left.” Bev Robinson
July 3, 2014. You have good things ahead. You have already done well in your life. But now you come before My throne of grace. With My grace pouring a steady tsunami, you will explode over time in sustained profit. Pay close attention to all I say, especially today and the rest of this week including Sunday. Search My word, My skies and heavens. Listen to the thunder. Marvel at the lightening. Even My winds will contain messages for you. Pick out My word from all these sources. None will fall to the ground. Expect and believe for My good and best things.
Isaiah 48:17 (NASB) “Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.” Ras Robinson
July 2, 2014. Time feels like it is going by too fast. Surely this isn’t real time you say. Yes, it’s real time, and it’s going by fast but it isn’t too fast. No pun intended, but time is on time. So what’s happening? There is much going on that you know about, and much more that you don’t know about. You can’t control time, but you can control how you operate within its parameters. You know the first thing is to ask Me. Then get busy. My work is fulfilling and fruitful.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-12 (NASB) “He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime” Bev Robinson
July 2, 2014. You need a mentor in your life. I will send you the very best to exemplify my intended life for you. Moses was both a prophetic and apostolic mentor for young Joshua. Joshua learned fellowship and intimacy with God from observing Moses. Even the apostle Paul advised the believers of his day to be like Him. I am looking for Moses’s and Paul’s to mentor the saints of today. Receive and follow your own mentor. Become available to those I send you. Go now and raise up those who can be a Moses or a Joshua.
Exodus 33:11 (NASB) “Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.” Ras Robinson
July 1, 2014. Of course you can begin again. Who told you you couldn’t? Was it the devil? Don’t you know the only way he can get at you is to lie? He has been a deceiver for eons. He has been My enemy since the day he tried to be equal to Me. He is a liar. I Am the Truth and the Way. My mercies are new every morning. Great is my faithfulness to help you begin again. I am always with you. I am your God. Listen to Me.
Lamentations 3:22-25 (NLT) “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.” Bev Robinson
July 1, 2014. Do not honor and appoint yourself to a position what only God can appoint. Why try to take that honor and privilege from God to honor and appoint you? Your appointment and honor of yourself is of the flesh and will die of its own energy. If God does it, it is divine and lasts forever. God appointed Jesus as His Son and Priest forever. This divine act remains forever. Likewise, because of the shed blood of Jesus, God has honored and appointed you as His son or daughter and a priest or priestess forever.
Hebrews 5:5-6 (AMP) “So too Christ (the Messiah) did not exalt Himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed and exalted by Him Who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have begotten You; as He says also in another place, You are a Priest [appointed] forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.” Ras Robinson
