Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns: I had been praying for direction for the new year when I looked out my window to see the number 73 etched in the landscape in my view. I had never seen that before, and believed it was a sign from the Lord. In my research for the meaning of that number I found that 73 is a powerful and positive sign. This number signifies spiritual growth, personal development, and creativity. When I looked again to see the number in the landscape it was no longer there, and I knew it was the supernatural answer to my prayer. So, let us look forward to a new and productive year. 

Ephesians 3:14-21 For this favor I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through belief; that you, being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height–to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled will all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

January 1, 2025. Happy New Year! Oh what a grand year this will be! Let My goodness flow over you today as you are transformed into My image…leaving behind all that happened in 2024 and stepping into the fresh New Year. I have so many things in store for you – you cannot possibly imagine! Keep your mind on the good and lovely – settle into My Blessed Life! Release disappointments and failures and begin again! I am doing a new thing!

January 1, 2014. (Reposted)  A blow has hit your head. Its purpose was to knock you out. And you were out for a time. But the devil has overplayed his hand. My purpose is for the blow to be a wakeup call. Now get yourself grounded in belief. Whatever it takes, get your mind focused on My purposes for your life. Listen to what I am saying. Sing My Word. Read My Word. Think about My Word. Fill yourself with My Word. Good things are coming and it will be a blow to the devil.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Bev Robinson

January 1, 2014. (Reposted)  A new beginning for this New Year. The Lord has new wine available for you with a new wineskin. It is good to delight in the new. Some cannot accept the new, preferring to stay with the old. What they fail to recognize is that the old they prefer was once new. If those preferring the old today had not received the new when it came, we would have wasted wine today. In fact, you are the new wineskin, made ready for the new wine. Embrace the new beginning on this first day of a New Year.

Mark 2:22 “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.” Ras Robinson
