While praying a couple of days ago Father began to speak to me and he gave me some much needed correction and asked me to share it with you. I hope you will hear what he says and be blessed. His correction is always in love and always with our best interest in mind so please never be afraid of his correction. Below are the words he asked me to share with you.
My son, please speak unto my loved ones and say the following words:
My children, why are you weary? Why are your faces sad and your eyes turned down? Rejoice in me. Rejoice in me and not in what you see or don’t see. Will you fall in love with me again? Will you return to your first love?
My precious children, you are too attached to this world. You only are happy when things are going good for you and when things are hard you think I have cast you away or that I am disappointed in you. This is not true. I am with you and I am delighted with you and I want you to be delighted with me and to learn to rejoice in me, in you. Do you know what this means?
It means that I want to be the reason for your shouting and dancing. I want to be the reason for your singing. I want to be the reason for all of your joy. I want to be the thing you are always wanting and always needing.
Do you remember when you were first born again? It didn’t matter what you had or what you didn’t have. I was your love and I was your everything. You were full of the joy of my presence and many of you said that I was enough and I was all you need. Since then the pressures of life, and the call of the world telling you that you can’t be complete unless you have a certain amount of wealth, and a certain sized house, and all the latest products has worn you down. This is the way the world works. They keep you enslaved by making you feel unsuccessful unless you have all that they have. This is a never ending cycle to keep you in bondage.
It’s the same in the churches. Unless your ministry competes with those who have big churches or those who reach millions then you feel like you don’t measure up. This is why I had Paul write to the Corinthian church not to compare themselves to others like the other people did. He told them they were unlearned because they were measuring their ministry against others and not against the plan I had for them. Don't compare yourselves to others. Just do what I give you to do.

It’s not what you have that matters. It’s who you have. If you have me then you have all you need. Think about the man at the pool who had no one to put him in the water when it was stirred. He waited years and years but do you think he is happy now that he did? Two thousand years later and you are still talking about him and yet you don’t even know about the ones who did have someone to put them in the water. He is still telling his story in heaven of how I sent my son to heal him. Sometimes what you don't have turns out to be a blessing.
My loved ones. Please get your mind off of things and accomplishments and put it back on me. Please untangle yourselves from the world and all the ways of the world. If you had all that the world has you would still be miserable like the world is. You won’t find your joy in what you own or in what you do. You will find rest in me and find your joy in me.
There will be a day soon when my children awaken and learn that I am your all and I am your provider. You can be a slave to the world system or you can be free in me and let me be your provider. I know all that you need and remember that my blessing makes you rich and adds no sorrow to it. Most are still slaves to the system but some like the ones who left Egypt are seeing my provision. Soon you all will enter into my promised rest and will live in houses you didn’t build and eat fruit that you didn’t plant and will find that I AM YOUR PROMISED LAND.
Soon the meek will inherit the earth and it won’t be by struggling and fighting for the best deal and the most money. It will come because you are my children and you have an inheritance. So put aside all the formulas you have learned for creating wealth. I am your formula.
I am your Father and you are my child and if you will seek me and rejoice in me then all these things that you want will come to you. You will prosper and have great success not because you earned it but because I gave it to you as a gift of my love. Think about your children. Would you rather watch them toil and slave and save enough to buy something they wanted, or would you rather give it to them as a gift of your love for them?
I want very much to shower you with the blessings of my love but the world tells you that you can’t have it unless you do it their way which includes the slavery of years of debt for the momentary joy of having that feeling of something new. Isn’t it funny how that feeling goes away quickly and the debt remains? I want better for you my children.
So lift up your heads and remember that the creator of the universe lives inside you. What more do you need? How can you be sad when the God of Joy lives inside you? Please let go of the world and fall in love with me again. I love you with all I have. Rejoice in me and not in wealth or accomplishments or victories. Rejoice because your names are written in heaven and your lives are hidden in my heart. Rejoice because you are my beloved and I am yours.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael
