Awaken My Beloved

    

     While praying last week and preparing for a meeting Father gave me the following words:

     My son, write these things and give these words to my beloved. You are my precious ones. My children,you are my delight and the joy of the universe. All of heaven is rejoicing with you as you each take a step towards your new beginning. As you become awakened to my love you will be changed and will learn to live in the provision of that love. You will learn to live as the bride of the King and not as orphans.

     Many of you have faced lack and wondered where my blessing is. My blessing is right where it always is. It’s in Christ and you are in Christ but you have been looking to the world for your blessing. Your blessing does not come from your giving or your working. The wealth of the King is shared with his bride and it’s in taking your place as my beloved that you will learn to live in the blessing. It's easy to spot the bride. She is the one who is intimate with the groom.

     It is in the “being” that you’re blessed.  You don’t have to look at the world or your jobs or at circumstances. You can look into my eyes and know that I love you and I will care for you.  Focus on me and not on your problems. Look into who you are in me and not at who you are in the world.  Don’t let the world tell you who you are. Let my words and my love show you who you are. 

     Soon you will see yourself as I see you and you will no longer be burdened by the problems of the world but will use who you are in me to rule over the situations of life. I told you that in this world you will have tribulation but to be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. It’s in the having a cheerful heart that you rest in me and overcome your circumstances. I have overcome the world and I am in you and you are in me and we are one so you can rest in my victory.

     You must have a change of mind for all these things to work. It’s in the renewing of your mind that your world will change. It’s not some long educational process that renews your mind. It’s simply making your mind submit itself to your spirit that renews it. Your spirit knows who you are and your mind can be changed by listening to the truth of who you are in me.

     As I told you in Proverbs: As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.  You must change the things you think about from worldly things to spiritual things and learn to think from the mind of Christ who is in you.  

    Think about these verses in 1^st Corinthians Chapter 2:

9. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10. (But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:) 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 

11. (for what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?) 

Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; 

(that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.) 

13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, (but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;) comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14. But the natural man (mind) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? 

(But we have the mind of Christ.)

     Your natural mind will never lead you into the heavenly realm. It by nature will lead you to doubt and unbelief and worry. However the mind that belongs to your spirit is one with me and thinks the things about you that I think about you and understands all the things that are freely given to you by my love and my grace. All the things that pertain to life and godliness and all the things that pertain to your inheritance are inside you in your spirit.

     Think of it this way. Your natural mind speaks a different language than the mind of Christ that is in your spirit. You must learn to speak the language of the spirit to bring the things that are given to you in the realm of my Spirit into the physical world.  The natural mind only has words for failure and doubt and lack and worry but the mind of the spirit has only words for victory and peace and prosperity. 

     You must be renewed to the mind of the Spirit within you and learn to speak only the language of heaven. Do you think if you were caught up into heaven you could talk to someone who could tell you about sickness or disease or poverty? Would they know what you are talking about? Do those things exist in heaven? Do you think we have homeless people up here? Do you think we have hospitals full of sick people? No we don’t have those things in this realm.

     This is the realm where I am taking my church into; into a place of existing in the realm above the realm of the earth where all these enemies have been defeated.  This is the realm of the Spirit that is far above all problems or principalities or wickedness of the earth. It is a place of glory and honor and you are already seated with me in this realm. The mind of your spirit knows this but your natural mind has no clue how to live here. Once your mind is renewed you will be conscious of this realm and learn to rule and reign with me from here.

     So how do you renew your mind? First you throw out the old way of thinking.  You do this by casting down any thought or imagination that does not agree with who you are in the spirit.  This is not a natural thing. When you do this you must take time to think about where you are and from where you rule.  

     Think about these verses.

Second Corinthians 10:

3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5.Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6.And having in a readiness to revenge all 

disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

   Do you notice how these thoughts are called strongholds? Most of the enemies that my church is warring with are not demons from dark places but lies ingrained in their minds.  These are lies about who you are. These lies tell you that you are only human and you have no real power and that you are just a dirty sinner saved by grace and barley getting by in the world until death becomes your savior and takes you out of here. This is so far from the truth. You are righteous and holy and beloved and are the reason for all that I have ever done and more valuable to me than all the gold of heaven.  These lies must be destroyed so that you will know how much I love you.

     So then any thought that does not agree with the new creation being must be destroyed. Any thought that says you are poor or sick or dying or unholy or unworthy must be cast down and replaced with the truth of who you are to me and in me.  This is where the battle lies. It is in your mind and you must use the truth of my scripture and the power of my Spirit to tear down the strong holds until you only think of you what I think of you. Don’t you see my beloved what I paid to rescue you? Do you think I would have done that if you weren't worthy and valuable to me?

     You must learn to see yourselves as spirits from heaven and not as human beings. You are in this world but not of this world. Think of it this way: If you visit a hospital to heal the sick you are not in the hospital you are just visiting. If you visit an animal shelter to save a puppy you are in the shelter but not of the shelter. You are not locked in cages and unable to escape. You are governed by the rules that apply to the creatures locked in the shelter. You are free to come and go.

     You are from heaven my beloved. Although your assignment is to live in this world for now your kingdom is far above this world and you have authority from my kingdom as my ambassadors but you must awake to who you are in me to be successful in the earth. Your authority and your citizenship comes from above and when you learn how to live as heaven born spirits you will have great power in the earth. Your natural mind is the only thing keeping you from this realm.

     So meditate on my love for you my children and know that I am with you and in you and you are with me and in me and we are one. Tear down every thought or imagination that tells you otherwise and learn to live from above and not be bogged down in the troubles of the world but change the world with the power of your renewed mind.

     I love you my children so rest in that love and enter into the finished works that I have ordained you to do.  Be blessed in this process of letting go of the old mindset and awakening to who you are. Wake up my beloved and reign with me.

     I hope you are encouraged by these words from our Father,

Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,

I love you all,

Alive Unto God

Romans 6

1: What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2: By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3: Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4. We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

5: For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6: We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7: For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8:Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9: We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10: For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 

11: *So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.*

12: Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13:Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, 

but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 

14: For sin will have no dominion over you,

since you are not under law but under grace.

     We present ourselves to God not as sinners but as those who are born again and righteous. We come to God in faith saying,” Father I present myself to you, washed in the blood of your Son, holy and righteous because of him and I am here to see if you have anything that a righteous holy person can do today to bring you glory. I am here to offer myself to you to use for righteous acts of kingdom service in the earth. “ 

15:What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16: Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17: But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 

18: and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 

19: I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20: For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21: But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22: But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23: For the wages of sin is death, 

but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

   

  Most in the church today are fighting over law versus grace. There no fight. Grace has won. It’s time the church stopped fighting sin and embraced righteousness. If we consider ourselves dead to sin then we no longer have to fight it. You don’t fight a dead man; you bury him. True grace leads to righteousness that can never be attained by the keeping of laws.


Romans 9

30:What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31: but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. 32:Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33: as it is written,

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; And whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Romans 10

1: Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2: For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3: For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 

4: For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Christ is all we need to be righteous. The problem is we have not accepted his righteousness and have set out to try to buy it by keeping rules and regulations and thinking God would accept our good behavior as righteousness. We have stumbled over the same stumbling stone as Israel. God provided us righteousness paid for by Christ but we always set out to buy it ourselves. Faith in Christ makes me righteous. He is all I need. I don’t do good things to become righteous. I do good things because he has made me righteous. I am American because I was born in America. I am righteous because I was born in Christ. It is the free gift of his grace and only comes by faith in Christ and not by my works.


5: For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6: But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (That is, to bring Christ down) 7: “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (That is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8: But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9: because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

 

10: For with the heart one believes and is justified, (not by keeping laws) 

and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11: For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12: For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13: For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”


2nd Corinthians 5

14: For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15: and he died for all, that 

those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

16: From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 

17: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation the old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 

18:All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and 

gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19: that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 

20: Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21:For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

    If we believe that he took away our sins we must also believe that we are righteous because of him. It’s time to let go of the old man once and for all and embrace who we truly are in the Spirit. Our old sinful nature was crucified with Christ and we must once and for all leave him dead and walk away from that life but the only way to let go of the old is to grab hold of the new. Me must totally embrace the new creation covenant and truly become one with Christ.

Philippians 3

1:Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

2: Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3: For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4: though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6: as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. 

7: But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8: Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9: and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10: that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11: that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

     Paul was the ultimate keeper of the law but he counted all those works as rubbish compared to knowing Christ. True righteousness only comes through faith in Christ and can never be attained in any other way. 

Ephesians 1

1: Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,

To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

2: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4: even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, 

that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love

5: he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6: to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7: In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8: which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9: making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10:as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11: In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12:so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13:In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, 

and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 

14: who is the guaranteed of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
15:For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16: I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 

18: having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 

19: and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20; that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21: far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22: And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23: which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

     All of this was his plan to make salvation so simple that all it takes is faith to receive it. It has always been his plan to adopt us and all the glory for salvation does not go to our ability to keep rules and regulation but the glory goes to his amazing grace and to the love which he has for us. All this was purchased for us by Christ and it's in him that we have this wonderful inheritance. The moment we try to earn it we have fallen from grace. How glorious is God's great plan of salvation and liberty for his children!

Ephesians 2

1:And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2:in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3: among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4: But God, being rich in mercy, 

because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6: and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7: so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9: not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 

10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

     When we were dead with no hope in our sins he still loved us and saved us and seated us with Christ in the heavenly places. It was always his plan and we could never earn it. It's all by his glorious grace!

Galatians 1

 10: Oh foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2: Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 

3:Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 

4: Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 

5: Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith

— 6: just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”? 7: Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8: And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9: So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. 

10: For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11: Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12: But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”

 13: Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14:so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

15: To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. 16: Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to off-springs,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17:This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. 

18: For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

19:Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, 

until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, 

and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. 20: Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.
21: Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22:But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

23: Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, 

imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24: So then,

the law was our guardian until Christ came, 

in order that we might be justified by faith. 

25:But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26:for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 

27: For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29: And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

     The law was only to be in effect until Christ came and that is why Jesus said that the law and the prophets were util John. Jesus is the end of the law of sin and death and the beginning of the law of the Spirit of life. 

     The law could never bring life it could only convict the sinner it could never pardon him. It's time we the church learned about our new covenant and stop trying to live in Christ by living under the rule of Moses. Trying to keep that law by the works of the flesh will only bring death. As many who try to be righteous by keeping the law are under the curse of the law. 

2nd Corinthians 3

4:Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5: Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6: who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant,

 

not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

7: Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone,

 came with such glory that the Israelite's could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 

8:will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory?

9: For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 

10: Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 

11: For if what was being brought to an end 

came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. 12: Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 

13: not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was 

being brought to an end. 14: But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15: Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16: But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

17: Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 

18: And we all, with unveiled face,(without the law of Moses) beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

     The problem with the church today is one day we look into the face of Christ and see freedom and liberty and hope. We begin to be changed from glory to glory by looking at him to see who we are and the next day we get hammered by the law of Moses telling us that we are sinners and unrighteous and we are constantly torn between the two. We take one step forward into the glory and two steps back into the shame that comes from the law.

     As we read earlier that law was done away with in Christ, and besides the law was only given to Israel and most of us who have tried to keep that law were gentiles who never were given a law to live by. 

     This keeps the church from seeing who we really are in Christ. The life of the Spirit in Christ is far above earthly rules and regulations and has to be lived under spiritual laws of love and lived out of a new creation being inside of us who is a spirit made in the image of our creator. We must keep our faces turned toward Christ to keep this veil from covering our hearts.

Romans 8

There is therefore now no condemnation (Remember Paul called the law the ministry of condemnation?) for those who are in Christ Jesus. 

2: For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3: For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. 

By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4: in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5: For those who live according to the flesh (law) set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 

6: For to set the mind on the flesh (law) is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7: For the mind that is set on the flesh (law) is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. 8: Those who are in the flesh (law) cannot please God. 

9:You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. 

Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10:But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11: If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 

12: So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh(law), to live according to the flesh(law). 13: For if you live according to the flesh(law) you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 

14: For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15: For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16: The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17: and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.


     It’s time for the church understand the true gospel. Christ didn't come to just take away our guilt. He came to make us holy and righteous. We must consider our old self to be crucified and dead. It is in embracing who Christ is and who we are in him that the old ways will be done away with. We will never live in the newness of life if we keep fighting a body of sin that is already dead. We must embrace who we really are.

     We must reckon ourselves to be alive unto God. Stop seeing ourselves as guilty sinners and see ourselves as who he really made us. If it was just about sin then he could have just taken away the law and made all things lawful and there would be no transgression. 

     Removing our sins was just the first step in restoring us to who we really are in Christ. He took away our sin so we could live unto his righteousness. If we keep embracing the law we will continue to suffer the consequences of the law. If we embrace the new life in Christ then we will become like him. 

     We must embrace the Spirit of life until all the guilt and shame of the old life are completely forgotten and we are engulfed in the righteousness and holiness of God. When we awaken to this true state of our spirit then sin and death will no longer have hold of us. 

     He didn't just take away our sins but he took away the sins of the whole world and left us with this ministry of reconciliation. We go and preach to the world that all sin is forgiven in Christ and if they embrace him all their sins are gone and they can be born into a new creation. That is why it’s the “good news”. 

     Jesus took away the sins of the whole world but that doesn't mean the whole world is saved. It means they are forgiven and if they will be reconciled to God they can be saved. Their sins are taken away but they still must be born again by faith in Christ. It's not what you do that saves us it's accepting with all our heart what Jesus did for us at his cross that saves us. We could be sinless and still be lost. Sin was the only obstacle between God and man and Jesus took it away so the all who call upon him can and will be saved. 

     We don’t have to serve sin anymore and we aren't sinners saved by grace. We were sinners but now we are righteous and holy and blameless in his sight. We must see ourselves as he sees us and we must teach others to accept him as their savior and turn from their old dead lives and embrace the new life in him.

     The only way to be free from sin is through the cross. We must once and for all see all of our sin and guilt nailed to that tree and see ourselves crucified with him so that we can be raised in newness of life with him. We must stop judging ourselves by the Law of Moses and embrace the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. I was crucified with Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me by faith. All my guilt and sinful nature was killed with Jesus on that cross.

All glory to God, I am dead to sin and I am alive unto God!

I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Until next time.

Grow rich in His Grace,

I love you all,

Hebrews 13:13,14



Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.




     I have been praying and seeking answers to so many questions about what I see in my bible that I don't see in the church today. I have seen miracles and wonders but not to the same level that I see written in the book of Acts. It is through this seeking that I was praying last week and was given the following words from our Father. 

     My son, please speak unto my amazing children. To those who have the full attention of my heart. They are precious in my sight and I rejoice that they have not given up even though times have not been easy. Through all the troubles of this life they have remained faithful and have not given in to the pressure to quit. I am so delighted in them, so speak to them these words.

     My chosen ones, you are my plan for this age. You are my greatest desire. The earth has waited for ages for you to get here. You who will not follow religion but will set aside all the lies you have been taught and follow me into a realm yet to be discovered.

   Just as Abraham followed me into the wilderness and didn't know where he was going but walked with me into the unknown; so you also have left behind the safety of religious Egypt to follow me into the realm of the Spirit. There are great unknown treasures for you to discover in the realm of my Spirit. Just as Abraham followed me you are following also.

    This new realm is about to unfold to you. I told you in scripture to be spiritually minded is life and peace and this is where I am leading you. Not just into an earthly realm but into the heavenly realm. When you become fully awake unto this realm then you can rule over the works of my hands. This is why many of the things you see in your bible haven’t worked for the church in this age. They have tried to rule from Egypt and not come above for authority.

     Jesus correctly stated that all authority in heaven and earth was given unto him so there is only one place to get authority. Many have taught that this authority is already given but this is not the case. It is given to those who will forsake the religion of Egypt and follow me into the wilderness. This is why the early church walked in more power and authority than today’s church. Authority is given because of relationship. As you spend more time with me and give up the ways of the world then more and more power will become available to you.

     Just as Moses had to leave Egypt and be changed before he could go back and conquer Egypt, so it is with you. You must leave all the traditions of religion and be willing to follow me into the realm of the Spirit. Just as my Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness so you to have been led into the wilderness.

     You wonder why not many are coming yet and why things are not as you thought. It is for this purpose. You must be willing to leave the safety of the world church and come to me in the wilderness where you will be changed into people of great authority and power. After you have forsaken all and are willing to be ridiculed and to live a life different from the rest of the world church, you will be changed and this is where you will find your true identity.

     Let’s look at the world church for a moment. Are they doing anything different from your civic organizations? They hold meetings and have music for entertainment. They make plans and yes they help do things such as feed and clothe the poor, and those are good things but they need to be accompanied by signs and wonders and miracles and this is where I am taking you.

     I am delighted that you have a heart for those who are not fortunate. These are good things but don’t forget you are destined for power and authority and not just for another program. 

     The world church is focused on the politics and events of the day. They search the scriptures to find a way to gain all the things the world wants and call it blessing. They draw the people in but have no power to defeat the darkness which is the true problem in people’s lives. It’s good to feed and clothe people but until you have the power to break the spirit of poverty off of them you have only kept them and not changed them.

     Don’t forget you are my beloved. You are destined to reign in holiness. You are destined for great authority. If you will continue with me on this path into the unknown you will be given power to make a real difference in the world and not just to be a Band-Aid church.

     Now let’s look at the early church. They were all raised in a religious system and had a system in place of worship and sacrifice but they left that behind and followed me into a new realm. They faced death for their decision because the religious system didn't want to give up ruler ship. The system in place had no power but they didn't want to see their system replaced. Does this sound familiar?

     The apostles left all they had known and because their lives were wholly given unto me I gave them power. Resurrection power only comes to those who are dead to the world. You must be willing to leave the dead religion to walk in the power of resurrection. That’s why I told you to reckon yourselves to be dead to sin but alive unto me.

     Once and for all reckon the old ways of doing church to be dead and come alive to me my children. Follow my Spirit into the place of prayer and let me put to death the old ways by my Spirit. You can never put the old ways to death using the old ways. All the self-help practices in the modern church do nothing but keep alive the old man that I killed on a cross.

     Think about Jesus: He was baptized and my Spirit came upon him and my voice shouted in delight “this is my beloved son!” What happened next? He was led into the wilderness where he was given the temptation to use his authority to please himself. He was tempted to be given kingship over a dead realm but instead chose to die unto his own ways and come alive unto my purpose. Once he was dead to his own will he was given power over all. This is how authority comes. When you die to your own desires and are willing to forsake all that the world has, then you are given great power.

     My beloved look at the church of the world. Do they have any power? You see a miracle here and there by my grace but do you see anything that resembles the early church? Be honest and look at it. Do you see blind healed and deaf healed and a church that is so healthy that you have to ask if there are any sick among you? Do you see thousands added in a day in anyone's church? I put the desire in you to see those things restored and that is my plan.

     Follow me into the secret place and put away all the teaching of the world church and let me teach you. Did not I say in scripture that everyone would be taught of God? Separate yourselves from the teaching of the world church and come to me in the secret place and write down what you hear. I am teaching you by my Spirit and want you to be teachers yourselves. What you need to know will not come through books and sermons and studies. It will come through fellowship with me in Spirit.

     I seek those who worship me in Spirit and truth not in knowledge and learning. Do you see how Jesus took the disciples away from all the teaching of their day and taught them himself? When the day of Pentecost came did books and pencils fall out of heaven or did they receive a person called Holy Spirit? What came was not an “it”; it was me in Spirit form. I didn't bring books and learning; I brought an abiding relationship. I want you to learn from me and not about me.

    If you study all the books written by the world church you will only become what they are. If you study all the things that I am teaching you in the Spirit you will become like me. You are changed from glory to glory by looking into my face and not by looking into the latest book by the latest preacher pretending to have authority.

     Of all those who claim to have revelation and authority do any of them resemble what you see of Jesus in the scriptures? Do you see any of them who are so full of holiness and power that people are afraid to go near them as they were afraid of the apostles?

     It’s time to awaken to the reality of who you are my children. You become who you are supposed to be when you become awakened to the reality of your Father. It’s by spending time with me and focusing on my voice that you are changed. If you follow my voice it will lead you to my face where you can see me eye to eye and be changed into the glorious people I destined you to become. Don’t let the world church tell you who you are. Come to me and I will show you who you are.

     My beloved you followed me into this unknown wilderness now will you let me teach you while you are here so you can go back to the world and make a difference. As you come alive unto me you will die to all the ways of the world church and then you can return filled with the Spirit and with power to rescue others who are trapped in the world church system.

     The scriptures say that there would be a day when a church would arise that had a form of godliness but denied my power. It has arrived. The modern church claims to have authority but they can’t have resurrection power until they first die to the ways of the world. They want to have a resurrection without a cross. They want my power so that they can carve themselves out a bigger portion of Egypt. They want to use my power to claim authority for gain just as the heathen do. They claim authority over you by giving themselves names like bishop and apostle and elder. Beware of these and look instead for those who call themselves unprofitable servants, and bond slaves and those who don’t look to steal authority. If a man is truly an apostle he will not have to tell you he is. You will recognize him by my presence on his life.

     I am calling you out my beloved. I want better things for you than the world church has to offer. I want you to know me in the power of resurrection life and to be filled with my Spirit and my Power and given my authority to rule in my kingdom and not your own. I love you too much and you have followed me and left your homes and churches and your very lives to follow me. You have come too far to go back to the Egypt world church system of doing things.

     Let’s make the rest of the journey together. Come to me and die to your own agenda and let me fill you with my presence. Then you will be sent back into the world in power and might and can become more than conquerors. 

     What does that mean? It means that you will not just defeat the enemy and take his territory. That would make you a conqueror. To take that same territory and build into it my kingdom to replace the old system would make you more than a conqueror. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, you have come to enforce that victory and to replace the kingdom of darkness with the kingdom of light.

     So my chosen ones, will you forsake the world church and see yourselves as those who reign in holiness and not as those who are just another church in just another world system? I am so glad because I know you will. You have followed me this far and I know that you will make the transformation. I know these things because I believe in you. I chose you for this mission because I knew you would follow me.

     Continue in my word. My continuing, abiding word spoken to you by my Spirit and then you will be my disciples and then you will know the truth and then that truth you know will make you free. I ask you my beloved to put aside the teaching of the world church and let me teach you because it is my great joy to be your teacher.

     Keep abiding in my love and keep bearing my good fruit. I love you my beloved with an everlasting love. Rest in my presence and let my life become yours. You are glorious in my eyes and soon the world will see you revealed as the glorious ones on whom the fire has returned.

     I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Until next time,

Grow rich in His grace,

I love you all,

michael

Waiting...

     I am so honored that you stopped by to read these words. It is such a blessing when I hear that this message is reaching others and encouraging them. As I was praying today for each of you I was given the following message to share with you from our Father:

     Oh my beloved, why are you worried? Don’t you know that I am with you and I will always be with you? I know for many of you this is a time of waiting and wondering. Don’t worry my children. All that I promised you will come. I know it seems like forever but it is not. There are great days of glory ahead and all things will happen in my time and according to my purpose.


     Remember that the kingdom is like sowing and reaping. I give you a plan and I sow that plan into your hearts and it takes a few days before it grows up out of your hearts and into the world where you can see it. Pay attention to the seasons my children. The harvest is always ripe but specific plans and purposes that I put into your hearts are according to my schedule.


     This is why so many of you have been under attack of depression and doubt and unbelief. Jesus told you that the enemy comes to try to dig up the word in your heart. Persecution comes for the word’s sake. Do any of you feel persecuted? This persecution is proof that you heard the word from heaven. Rejoice when these things come because it lets you know that you heard from heaven.


     Many of you were given a plan and you made plans and you prepared and now you are waiting. Don’t let the enemy dig up your seeds. Keep your plans in your hearts and in your imagination. Learn from the farmer. He plants his seed in faith and in his heart daily he imagines what the crop will look like. He is no longer looking at a seed but is looking at the end result of his labor. This is how you get through the hard times between the time I give you a plan that you prepare and sow into your hearts and the time when the plan springs into action.


     There are so many that think you missed me and think that you didn't hear the right message and the enemy has told you that you were wrong. How could you have heard from God? Do you see any proof? Yes you heard from me and you received your plan from me and worked it out and planted it in your hearts and now it’s just time to rejoice and be patient.


     Don’t let your enemy stead the promise from your hearts. Rejoice and stand firm and speak about the great harvest that is coming because of the promise you received. As you learn this principle and start rejoicing as soon as you plant the word in your heart then the season between planting and harvest will be shortened.


     So don’t fret my beloved. Each of you was given a plan for the age that you are in. I have given you visions and dreams and promises and you will accomplish all I have called you to do. Please remember my children your value to me is not in what you accomplish but in who you are. I am so pleased that we are working together to preach this glorious gospel but my greatest joy is the joy that remains because you are mine.


     Rejoice with me my beloved for your calling is certain and your dreams and visions will be accomplished if you don’t let weeds like doubt and depression, anger, impatience and unbelief creep in. Keep these things out of your mind and stand with me in faith and know that the plans I have for you are good and you will fulfill your calling.


     There is a glory about to be revealed in the years to come that exceeds anything you have ever dreamed. These things will happen on my schedule as heaven joins in to help you preach this gospel. Do you remember what John saw in the revelation chapter 14 verse 6? 

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

     Help is coming from heaven and things will change. Nations will be born in a day. Diseases that plagued mankind for centuries will be erased in moments. The great cloud of witnesses will begin to give witness and people will be perplexed as heaven and earth are gathered together in one in Christ as I told you through my beloved Paul. Remember after the resurrection that the dead rose and walked the streets and preached. What if it happens again? what if those who the world thought was long gone reappear to preach again?


     For many of you this is hard. Take off your religious clothes and let me clothe you in my glory. The age of glory is beyond anything you have ever seen and there is nothing in history to compare it to. You must break out of your box and let me show you things to come. As you tear down the walls in your minds that keep you imprisoned you will see the impossible become the usual. This is my doing my beloved and you were chosen to be a part of it. Don’t be dismayed. Why not you?


     As these things begin to unfold my children will walk away from darkness and will put on light. My church will be glorious and will shine brighter than the sun. What do you think the world will think when the Jesus that John saw and fell as a dead man is fully revealed in each of you? When Christ in you the hope of glory becomes a reality and people don’t see you any longer but see the risen glorified Christ beaming from your faces; what will happen to the world? These things are closer than you think my beloved and my people will be willing in the day of my power. I am already in the future and my church is glorious in this next age.


     So put aside your worrying and rejoice in me my beloved. I have not left you and will never leave you. I am your reward and you are mine. So you have to wait a few days to see glory? Am I worth the wait? I waited for many of you for years and I am so glad you are mine. 

     Be patient my beloved and rest in my love for you while these things come together. I am not building just another program or denomination. I am filling the earth with my glory and you are the ones I will pour it through. It’s worth the extra time of preparation.

     I am so happy with you and I am so glad you answered when I called. I love you my children so love each other as I love you and be kind to each other and encourage each other. Sing to each other a new song as my Spirit sings it to you. I rejoice over you with singing and you should rejoice over each other the same way. Peace unto you treasure of my heart.

     I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,

I love you all,

michael

From Father's Heart

   

     Sometimes I like to write a letter to Father and just try to put in words how I feel in my heart. It's such a joy because every time I do this He speaks words to me and has me write them and share them. This is one of the greatest joys of my life to get to communicate with heaven. How awesome it is that we are so loved by our Father that He would take time to share his love with us. I am so blessed by his love.

     As I was writing to him a couple of days ago we had the following conversation:

     Father, I love you and I want to bless you in worship and praise and want you to know how much you are appreciated. Thank you for the greatest job on earth. It’s not really a job but a love and a joy to speak to your loved ones

     Who is like unto your people my Father? They are washed in the blood of your son Jesus. They are sanctified and glorified and filled with your Spirit and full of your wonder.

     How awesome it is that I get to fellowship with them and share your words with them. Thank you for this great joy in my life. Please my father, never let my take this privilege or your people for granted. I love you and now I ask you for words to share from your heart to ours. Reign forever my King! Forever and ever and ever!

     My son. You are writing the words you see in my heart about my children. They are so loved and so adored and all of heaven rejoices over them. My children are my reward and the reward of my son. When he looked through the cross he saw all of you on the other side and he worshiped and found joy inexpressible. You know how much joy one child brought you? Now multiply that times infinity and you will know how I feel.

     You are all my great joy and I find great satisfaction knowing that I will spend eternity with each of you. So speak to my beloved ones my son and say the following:

     Hey, my delight, my joy, my heart! Don’t you see who you are? You are not the old person who was crucified on the cross with and in my son Jesus. You are the resurrected full of life being that was born of my Spirit right out of heaven above. You are the inheritors of eternal life and light and blessing. You are sanctified and set apart to behold my glory by looking into my face and seeing your reflection in my eyes.

     Some of you feel as if I am disappointed with you. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am delighted by your growth in the kingdom and the only thing you need to change is the confidence level you have in my love for you. You may think you know how much you are loved but you have only begun to know the depths of my love.

     Do you remember that I told you that you would come to understand my love that is beyond knowing and be filled with my fullness? Do you know what that fullness is? It’s the indwelling presence of me in you. It’s discovering that you are in Christ and He is in you. There is no separation of you and him. You are one and we are one so it’s time to put aside all your fears and worries and tune into what is going on in heaven where you are seated with him, and in him, and in the same authority that he has.

     This authority is already yours but it only works when you look at the world through the eyes of love and not through the eyes of condemnation. Remember I said in John 3:17 that Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save it? When you look for people to save through his eyes then the authority works. Authority is only given for the purpose of loving others and saving others. Authority is not something to be used for any other purpose.

     As your sole purpose becomes sharing my love then the authority you have been given will begin to take effect. When it’s about delivering the oppressed and not about casting out the devil. When it’s about healing the sick out of compassion and not to prove your gifting. When it’s about feeding the hungry even if they are your enemy because you know what hunger feels like and you don't want anyone else to experience that feeling, then it will flow.

     Most people want power and miracles for the sake of validating their ministry or their position. This is not how heaven works. In heaven power us used to serve others and not self. Jesus was full of power and used that power to serve others and his power is still serving you. Even though he has been exalted to his rightful place and is God he is not using his voice to create more worlds and create more wealth. The voice of God is praying and interceding for you. Think on this just a moment. "He ever lives to make intercession for you."

     What happens when Jesus prays for you? Do you know he prays constantly, and even though he is my equal he honors me by asking me things for you? Do you know that Holy Spirit is just as much God as I or my son and yet he serves you and prays for you with groaning so deep that your ears can’t hear it and your voices can’t even give speech to it? He teaches you and takes all the gifts of heaven and pours them into your lives.

     Do you see the pattern here my children? If heaven prays for each of you shouldn't praying for each other be a priority? I am looking forward to shaking the earth when you pray just as I did when the early church prayed and remember I said “Once more I will shake heaven and earth.”

     Authority comes to those who will never use it for their own good but will use it to rescue others. This is the good news. People loving each other so much that they will spend hours if needed praying and asking me for favor upon even their enemies. Anyone can love their friends; imagine a love so great that you would give your life for one who hates you.

     That is where you are going my beloved. I told you that I was going to reestablish prayer and love in the church and I am starting with you. You have shown love to strangers. Twice this week some of you showed kindness to angels and didn't know it. I am so excited for you. You really are understanding me and are learning who I am and who you are.

     So rejoice my beloved. I am so proud of you and your good deeds and your meetings are broadcast all over heaven. Angels are dancing and singing and great delight is filling the streets of heaven for the awakening that is being birthed in you.

     It’s only the beginning. As the way of love is established among you great signs will follow. I told you signs and wonders would follow those who believe. Believe in what? Believe that I so loved the world that I gave my only son to save it. Those who believe I am still in love with the lost and know that no one is beyond saving. No matter how wretched they are still loved. You will know this soon and will walk in the power of the age to come where love rules.

     Keep in peace with each other and don’t look at your circumstances. Don’t look at your provision. Look into the eyes of your provider. Don’t count the fishes just bless the baskets. Feed them because you love them. Yes, some will take advantage of you but that was calculated into your provision before you were born. Feed them my love and my mercy. Give them grace to drink and love them like they are your only child and then you will love like I love.

     I am so much in love with you my children. Don’t ever forget that. Don’t let condemnation come to you. Drive it away. Listen to my heart my beloved. Don’t let anyone else determine how much love you walk in. Fall in love with me and with each other daily. 

     Do all you do in love whether great works or small chores. Sing of my love as you wash the dishes and take out the trash. Sing of my love as you end hunger and heal the sick. Sing of my love as you raise the dead. Anything done in love is an act of heaven. Just remember to do all you do as an act of love and compassion and you will have great success.

     I am with you always. Presently in the future we are all gathered to talk about the days that the awakening started with a handful of people who dared to believe that I still loved the world. Your children and grandchildren and great grandchildren are here and we are having the best time. 

     See you when you get here and I see you now. I love the “you” that is living on the earth now and the “you” that is living with me in the age of glory and you are awesome in both ages. You are surely the beat of my heart.

     Love one another my children as I love you and rejoice because your names and the names of all your house are written in heaven. Peace unto you my beloved.

     I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,

I love you all,

michael

Hugs and Prayers

While in worship and prayer I heard the voice of my Father and he said the following:

     My son; share these words with my beloved. Tell them to relax and don’t try so hard to do what is natural to them. I told you that it’s not by might or power but by my Spirit. It’s the time you spend in fellowship with my Spirit that will change things. It’s about our time together.

     I don’t want prayer to be hard and wearisome. I want it to be a fellowship between friends. Yes you are my children but you are also my friends. It’s when you come to me as a friend that you will find the answers you need. Do you remember Jesus told the disciples that a servant doesn't know what the master is doing but it is revealed to his friends? He told the disciples they had graduated from being servants to being friends.

   I told you in the book of Hebrews that he that believes has entered into my rest. That’s why prayer is a secret place we share. We can rest together and visit as friends. We can share each other’s thoughts and plans and can come to an agreement on what shall be done. We can share heart to heart.

   Many of my people come to me in prayer like an employee coming to a boss for a raise. They expect to have to fight and tell their side of the story and present a case for why they need what they need and how much they deserve it. Friends don’t communicate like that. If any one of you asked your best friend to borrow something you wouldn't give ten reasons why you needed to borrow it. A good friend would even ask if you needed help using what you asked to borrow.

     We are friends and I know what you need before you need it. I know when you are coming to ask and what you are going to say before you say it. I know all things and I don’t want you to think you have to convince me to answer your prayer. I put you where you are so that you would ask just so I could say yes. I always wanted to say yes and I just needed you to ask me.

     Why did I make it this way? It’s not because I’m on an ego trip and want you to feel small in my presence. It’s just the opposite. I created this system called prayer just so you would come visit me in the secret place. I want to spend personal time with each of my children. I want you all to know me and I want to share many things with you in this secret place.

     If you look through the eyes of love it will make perfect sense. When a child is born why aren't they capable of tending to themselves? Why did I create it so that children are born this way? I could have made it so that people are born into this life fully capable of taking care of themselves.

     I made it this way to create a bond between the generations. It teaches the parent to love and care for the child and it teaches the child that they have a loving parent that they can come to when they need something or don’t understand something. My nature is revealed as a loving parent. Those of you with children understand that it’s not a burden to provide for your children: It’s the joy of your life. To give them gifts brings you much more joy than it does the children to receive.

     It’s really a simple concept. I love you so much that I want you to come to me so I can give you what I already want you to have. I have really already given it to you because I told you in scripture that I have given you all things that pertain to life and godliness. So when you come in prayer and ask for anything according to my will it will be done. It’s already yours, I just want you to come close to me and open your hand so that I can give it to you as a gift of my love.

     Just like a good parent I won’t give you anything that will hurt you or destroy you. Sometimes you see far off and ask for things that are scheduled to be delivered in your future and want these things now. These things will be given you if you are mature enough to handle them. It’s a great thing for a Father to give his son a truck when he’s eighteen years old but that is not a good gift if he’s ten. Even though it’s the same gift to the same person the maturity makes the difference.

     When you come in prayer to receive what I already have given to you a fellowship takes place and I get to spend time with each of you one on one. It’s really that simple. I want you to pray because I love you and I enjoy our fellowship.

     I want to become your source for all things because I love you and I don’t want the world giving gifts to my children. You are my children and I want to be your Father and give you all things. I know what you need before you need it and I want you to have it because I love you.

     I want you to bring me your problems because I love you. I want you to bring me your bad habits not in guilt but as an act of worship because you are secure in my love. This security makes you free to run to me and not from me. I want everything from hangnails to heart attacks because you are mine and I want the honor of caring for you. I really am thrilled that you are mine.

     Can’t you see my beloved how much I am in love with you? You know you are the reason I created heaven and earth don’t you? Do you know that I created eternity so that we would have unlimited time together?

     It’s all about my love for you and as you begin to understand this love I have for you then you will learn to love each other the same way. Soon you will be the answers to the prayers of others just as I am to your prayers. Love is contagious and eternal. Spread it everywhere you go.

     Come to me and let me love you and care for you and let me teach you my ways. As you come to pray in the secret place windows will open and you will see into the eternal realm. You will learn how heaven works and then you will know what my will on earth is. When you see how great heaven is then your prayer becomes simple. It will sound like this. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

     It’s simple my beloved. This is prayer: You sitting in my lap in the secret place looking into the realm of heaven and asking me to give others what you see there. Do you remember in scripture it says whatever you ask in prayer it will be given you? This is how it works. You come to pray and sit in my secret place and it will be revealed to you what to ask for. You will ask and it will be given you.

     Where most people miss it is they don’t spend enough time in my presence to let me give them the desire I want in their heart. It’s this desire that I want to answer. I told you that whatsoever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive and you will have it.

     Prayer is coming into the secret place and resting. Prayer is not the asking: It’s the resting. You come to pray and I give you a desire and you ask for that and it will be granted. As you sit in my presence and meditate on my great love for you then you will be given something to ask for. It will be something I want released in the earth but we are partners and I need you to ask so I can answer. Yes I could just pour it into the earth but that’s not my plan. We are working together and I want you to do your part and let me do mine. I want you to come and sit in my presence and let me give you a desire to ask. I will hear your request and gladly bring it to pass.

     So please my beloved, come to me in the secret place and let me hold you and hug you and bless you and tell you of my great love for you. Let me show you the riches of heaven and let me put a desire in your heart that I can answer.

     I need your help with these things. I created a system that only works when we work together. Will you work with me? My yoke is easy, my burden is light. You won’t break a sweat in the secret place. You will however learn to abide in this secret place in my shadow and in my protection and in the center of my will. Will you start today my beloved? Will you come into my secret place and let me hug you while you pray?

     I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,

I Love you all,

michael
