The Trumpet by Bill Burns -- October 8, 2007:
You have heard it said, My people, that crisis will bring
you into divine order, and I say to you that this is truth.
When you are in the fire, My glory shall come forth.
Have you not heard of the fourth man in the fire? Even
in these days I visit you in the fires of tribulation and in
the trials of your life. I am bringing you to a place you
have never been before, a place beyond where you
have ascended to. I am bringing you to a place of
glory in
My Kingdom, which has yet to be visited by your
generation. And, I remind you that you are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood. So come without
hesitation, and allow the fire to burn, for surely it shall
consume the works of the flesh, and what will be left
is your spirit shining brightly in the Kingdom of God,
doing exploits in His name. These indeed are your
best days yet. Arise, and shake off every hindrance.
Come before Me in faith, and we will walk together in
victory, says the Lord.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns -
- October 8, 2007: Be strong, beloved, and refuse to
allow the enemy to single you out and whisper in your
ear of your failures and shortcomings. The attack
against you will come with singular intensity to make
you feel like you are the only one "not getting it." It is
designed to paralyze you with condemnation so that
you can't hear My voice or the voice of encouragement
from those around you. Rise up and shut the door to
the accuser of the brethren by not receiving the devil's
lies. You can choose to only receive the truth of My
word, says the Lord, which will usher you into the
realm of supernatural victory. John 8:44b " He (the
devil) was a murderer from the beginning, and does
not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own
resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."



October 10, 2007: My beloved people, take time to put
your issues of life into perspective. As long as you
focus on your circumstances and feel like you have
been victimized you are living life according to the
flesh and not walking in the Spirit. And, that is not a
good place to be. You are in training and being
trained by the Spirit to exist in the Spirit realm. Refuse
to allow the enemy to shift your focus from life in the
Kingdom to life in the flesh. It is the difference
between life and death, victory and defeat. Look up,
says the Lord. Romans 8:5 For those who live
according to the flesh set their minds on the things of
the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the
things of the Spirit.The Trumpet by Bill Burns -- October 8, 2007:
You have heard it said, My people, that crisis will bring
you into divine order, and I say to you that this is truth.

From the Elijah list;

Intensified Battle Going On
"Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi." Matthew 2:16


In the days succeeding Jesus' birth, King Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the magi. He was furious and gave orders to kill all the boys who were two years old and under in Bethlehem and its vicinity, with the intention of stopping Jesus' destiny from being fulfilled.
So the same is happening today.
Satan, sensing that God is planning out something GREAT AND AWESOME is bent on stopping the realization of this great event. Just like Herod, he is on a rampage and is now unleashing his blind rage against God's people.
Our Heavenly Father is reminding us today NOT TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS SEEN. There is a great spiritual Heavenly battle going on and we who are God's warriors and watchmen are in the forefront of this battle. Just like during the times of Job, there is a greater drama unfolding in the Heavenly realm and just as God allowed Job to be tested, so we, His children, have been tested in the same measure.
What To Expect
God's children may experience different spheres of attacks and we may be affected on different levels and in different manners. Some who used to be active in ministry, but because of various circumstances happening in your midst (change of job, physical ailments, family troubles, financial difficulties), may find themselves having to stop doing what they love most, and at times will find themselves holding an empty bag, so to speak.
Others may experience great emotional attack. In the past, you have been moving in such strong anointing and now you may feel empty, detached, uncertain, and wonder if something is wrong with you and wonder if God has removed His protection from over your life.
What His children will experience will parallel what Job had experienced in his time. The area of attack and the intensity of the attack will be such that outwardly, it will appear to be very devastating to the affected ones.
This Is Not the End!
Our Heavenly Father is reminding us today that this is not the end. In fact, compared to the degree of suffering that we have been facing today, the blessing that He is preparing for us is FAR GREATER IN MAGNITUDE AND INTENSITY. This is the reason why the enemy is panicking and unleashing his wrath in such manner and intensity as well.
Beware Of the Spirit of Condemnation
This is the season to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. He is faithful and He will not allow us to be tested beyond what we can bear. We must be careful not to pass judgment and to not make conclusions based on outward appearances. Things will not be as they seem.
Those suffering the most today are not "deserted children," but are the "favored beloved" of the Most High. For truly to whom much is given, much too will be required. And as people of God, when we see others suffering greatly, we are to ask for great wisdom and discernment on how to comfort each other.
We must be aware of the enemy's tactics this season--he will be TWISTING the meaning of much of what we hear and see from one another.
Those believers who are experiencing the fullness of God's blessings in this season must be extra careful with their words, as most times instead of bringing comfort to the suffering ones, it can cause them to feel more insecure, unsure, and even depressed, especially when hearing the words, "You need to have more faith," or "Just believe, etc. "


We must be careful not to act like Job's friends. Their well-meaning exhortation of "the causes of Job's difficulties" were useless then in ministering to Job.
The Weapons of Our Warfare--HONESTY, YIELDING and SURRENDER
Jericho was conquered not by physical fighting, but by silence and praise. So today, the weapons of our warfare will also be nontraditional.
As we struggle through our difficult situations (questions, negative thoughts and feelings that overwhelm us mentally, spiritually and physically, and grasp at why these things are happening to us, trying to make sense of what God is wanting to teach us)--our Loving Wonderful Heavenly Father is reminding us today that HE KNOWS WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH (see Psalm 139).
BE HONEST WITH OUR FEELINGS TO HIM. We need not be afraid to verbalize and express all of our negative emotions (doubts, anxieties, disappointments, questions, anger, frustrations, jealous feelings, etc.). Reading through the Book of Psalms, we can see how God's suffering saints of old had struggles with the same emotions and they were so open in expressing these feelings to God. We need to do the same today.
LETTING GO. We are to daily and continually practice the art of yielding and surrender. As these burdens overwhelm us, let us consciously learn to "pass the ball" back to God. It is not an easy task sometimes to learn and relearn to "live one day at a time."
Beyond What We can Imagine or Perceive
Our Father's message to us today:
"My child, I know what's happening. I know that 'you knew' that I am in control. I know in this season, you don't feel anything, yet your heart continues to trust in Me. I know about all these things and I Am pleased with you.
Don't let the enemy deceive you. He will make you feel unimportant, insignificant, useless, weak, and of no use to Me. But THIS IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH.
Where you are standing now, many times seemingly in the valley of the shadow of death--is where YOU ARE THE STRONGEST. Just like My Son Jesus when He struggled in the garden of Gethsemane, where His sweat became droplets of blood--that was His moment of triumph. So the same is happening to you, today.


Even as you struggle daily to just stay afloat, to just keep things together, to just stay alive--great breakthrough is happening in the Heavenly realm. Your life has become My most powerful weapon of breaking through the spiritual darkness of these times.
So be strong and be of good courage, your labor will not be in vain. I am taking your every sigh, every drop of your tears, and I am using them as powerful weapons to break down the spiritual walls of the enemy. Only in eternity will you fully grasp and see the fullness of your labor and surrender.
I love you dearly, precious one, and I have not forgotten you...remember this, and carve this once again in your hearts and minds today."

AFC, that is a great message. I liked what you said here:
"My people, that crisis will bring you into divine order".
This reminds me of the Chinese Christians. They said
that they hope American Christians will suffer persecution
because God will become more real to us.
They also go into villages and ask for the sickest person.
Once they find that person, they ask God to heal that
person and they get healed and the whole village comes
to Christ.
Thanks,

I brought this from another site and my own subscription to the Burns ministry. It touched my heart as I am in a "season" myself. I brought it here to encourage others.
I just wanted to give where credit is due. I didn't write this.
Bless you.

God is great, its a painful world but Gods mercy is greater than all things in this world. His love endures forever!! Great thread!!

"Forget those things that are behind you and sail on!"

Phillipians 3:13
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,


PRESS ON!

[AFinChrist]

This seemed appropriate with yesterday's word I got about keeping going forward.


The Trumpet by Bill Burns -- October 15,
2007: Come! Come and I will give you rest. Come
and I will remove the burdens that you carry. Come
and I will heal your brokenness. Come and I will give
understanding, revelation and inspiration for these
days. Indeed, I am with you and I am for you. I am
bringing you into a new spiritual dimension, and I will
increase your faith. I will bestow upon you a revelation
of the Father's heart towards you. I will demonstrate
My love, My mercy, and My grace to those who believe.
You have struggled, but I have watched over you.
Even though the enemy has desired to kill you, you are
still with Me, you are still alive and you are still here
because you have determined to be an overcomer. I
have seen the difficulty of your struggle and hardship.
You have endured trials, but I tell you that resurrection
life awaits. The power of My kingdom will be
demonstrated, and I encourage and touch you to bring
life to the weariness of your heart and soul, says the
Lord. Arise now and walk forth. Walk over the power
of death and over the power of the enemy. Arise and
come to the trysting place that I have prepared for you
in this time. It is a place of communion and a place of
the finishing rains. The refreshing has begun, and the
rain is falling. Now is the day of My power, says the
Lord.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns -
- October 15, 2007: I keep hearing the Lord
say, "Don't give up!" And, the Lord God Almighty says,
I see the great effort that you have put forth to break
through and come through, to be where I want you to
be and to do what I want you to do. The devil is doing
all he can to keep you from moving forward, but I tell
you, My people, do not give up. Do not give up!
Hebrews 10:35 Therefore do not cast away your
confidence, which has great reward.

[Walk With Him]

What church does the Burns family represent?

[AFinChrist]

I tried to post their website but it disappeared. Sorry.
I'm sure you could google their names (Bill and Marsha Burns) and their ministry and find them.
They pastor a church, I think in Colorado.

[Glory to God]

They are involved with the "five fold ministries" and "latter rain movement".

[AFinChrist]

I thought perhaps, I should introduce myself, if I hadn't already.

I wrote in my testimony section of my profile.
When I brings things onto the forums, its mostly to encourage and help others. These words bore witness within my spirit. You can read the bible and get the same thing. As you can see, they use scripture to base their words on.

[everready]

I found virtually hundreds of entrys using Google and can't post one of them my position as a Security Administrator is focused on safety first.
