Growing Strong in Faith

     An audio version of this message will be available soon at the link below:

Romans Chapter Four

18. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping, believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead and so was Sarah’s womb.

Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.

Colossians Chapter Three

1. Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.



     I woke up this morning and Holy Spirit was using these scriptures to paint images on my heart. I love it when this happens. I love the scriptures and I love being taught their true meaning by our teacher.

     For those of us who were trapped in the Word of Faith trap in years gone by it is so refreshing to finally understand that the book is a holy book but only comes alive in the voice of the teacher. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. The book is not God, our Father is God and he is a Master Artist; his scriptures are paint and our hearts are the canvas. When we finally get these things in order we realize that our fellowship is not with rules and regulations and words written on a page but our fellowship is with a loving, caring Father whose heart sings because we are his children.

     This was one of those mornings when Holy Spirit was singing these scriptures to me and I was overcome with joy. The object of learning is not to learn but to fall deeply in love with the teacher. When the focus becomes not what can I learn but how can I delight in my teacher, then the whole experience brings inexpressible joy.

     I love being taught because I love the one who teaches me. Each of us is the teacher’s favorite student and we all have access to the secrets of heaven.

     So as I was meditating on the verses that were dancing around and singing in my heart I heard Holy Spirit’s sweet voice asking me to write down these notes from the teacher and share them with you.


     Blessed Holy Spirit said:

My delightful children, the ones whom I love and I love to gather to me and snuggle with. The ones whom I adore and have adored for eternity: Will you give me your attention? Will you set your mind on the things above and stop staring at your problems?

     Do you know why we showed Abraham the stars of the sky to count and the sand of the sea to consider? It was to take his mind off his body that was good as dead. His focus changed from looking at his good as dead body and he began to look at the unlimited God who puts stars in order and calculated how many grains of sand were needed to filter the oceans and keep them clean.

     It is when you begin to consider our limitless ability that you forget about your weak limited problems. You faith grows stronger as you give glory to the one who created all things and stop giving any glory at all to whatever is affecting you negatively. The way to put out the darkness is not to curse the darkness but to turn on every light available.

     This is why when faced with needing food to feed the multitudes Jesus didn’t consider the limited supply of food but gazed into heaven to see our limitless supply of multiplication. This is why there were different amounts of fish and loaves available and different amounts of people to feed recorded in scripture. What you have on hand and what you need don’t matter. What is available to you because you are a child of the Almighty is the focus. He understood that being a child of the Almighty entitles you to all that your Father has. He understood that he and his Father are one so all things that belong to Father are his already.

     It was the same with the story of the prodigal son. The Father told the son that stayed home that he could have had a party anytime he wanted. My loved ones don’t you understand that I gave earth to you and all things are yours already?

     He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. There is no separation between us. We are not two but we are one. One Lord, one faith, one baptism: One Father who is above all and in all. You were all baptized into the death of the beloved Son of God and you were all raised to newness of life. No one is excluded but many are ignorant of the truth.

     This is why our beloved Paul told you that you have the ministry of reconciliation. We were in Christ on that cross reconciling the world to us not counting sins but declaring righteousness. Jesus said if he be lifted up he would draw all men unto him. He left none out but many are not awake to their forgiveness and live as dead men not knowing the life that is available to them. They think we are angry at them when all we want is to awaken them to our love and fellowship with them.

     This is the born again experience. It is when the revelation comes to you that you are loved and forgiven and your old life is dead and you leave it at the cross and step over into life everlasting. This is why the early church was so full of joy. They understood the finality of the cross and the finality of the resurrection. If one died for all then all died and if one was raised in life then all were raised. Your spirit is as alive as it will ever be.

     When you come to this realization you will be full of joy and realize the goal of evangelism is not to condemn others and tell them how much they are in need of a savior. The message is that the savior already came and they need to awaken to what was already accomplished for them. Jesus was the lamb who took away the sins of the whole world. The gospel is the good news of what already happened.

     People need to be taught the truth. If you believe you are a sinner you will live in sin. If you believe you are holy and righteous because of the blood of the Son of God you will begin to live in holiness and righteousness. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Your life will conform to what your heart believes.

     My beloved, this is what I want you to set your mind on. I want you to completely understand the finality of the cross and the resurrection as your death and resurrection. You are not dead but you are alive in me. You were already sanctified, justified and glorified. You rule and reign with me now. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it is not so. Every decision made from the throne is made with you in mind and in our heart, so you are already ruling and you don’t see it.

     Those of you with children understand this. The day a child is born the focus of your life and family is no longer on what is best for you but what is best for the children. You will change jobs and locations and move thousands of miles from home just for your children to have better opportunities. So are you ruling your house or are your children ruling with you?

     As you set your mind on things above and stop considering the circumstances against you but only consider that the Great Almighty God who sits on the throne is for you. If God be for you who can be against you? No one! Neither death or hell or the grave, none of those things are able to conquer you for you have already conquered in me.

     When Jesus was hanging on the cross he prayed “Father forgive them because they don’t know what they are doing.” You were forgiven even before he died. Stop letting religion define who you are. Look into my heart and see who you are. How important are you that the blood of God would be spilled to save you? How important is your neighbor that the blood of God would be spilled for him? The truth changes everything.

     So my loved ones don’t consider your problems but see the answer. Don’t consider your body or your bank account. Consider him who created the heavens. Consider the one who shed his blood for you. Consider him that was and is and is to come. The one who created eternity just to spend it with you because you are so loved and so much more than you understand yourselves to be.

     Jesus was our only begotten son, and he redeemed you to us. You can’t redeem something or someone unless they were already yours. He came to remind you of who you are. You were alienated from us in your minds. You were gone astray in your beliefs. You forgot who you were. You are sons and daughters and you are all the family of God. You are kings and priests because you are the children of the King.

     You are our offspring. You are given great glory because of your birth. Your bodies came from the earth but the earth came from the breath of our word. Then we breathed our life into you. The part of you that is alive is Spirit from our Spirit. No longer let religion rob you of your birthright. I have given you all things that pertain to life and Godliness. You own all things already.

     Finally my children: Grow strong in faith giving glory unto your Father. The way you glorify your father is to see yourselves as his children. No more denying who you are. The blood of Christ was spilled to declare your righteousness and yet you declare yourselves to be sinners? This does not glorify your Father. Becoming who you truly are brings glory to us. Growing up into the head which is Christ glorifies us. Worshiping your Father while laughing at your problems glorifies us.

     Be strong in the Lord and the power of His Might. Things aren’t up to your problems they are up to your Father who loves you and your Savior who loves you so much he gave himself to you and for you.

     I am delighted to be your teacher and to share with you the truth. I will lead and guide you into all truth. You shall know who you are and this will make you free. Free to be the children of God and to bask in our love for you: Freedom to love us without a law forcing you to or fear of retribution if you don’t love us: Freedom to love without fear. Freedom to be full of joy in the midst of your problems because you know your problems are small and your Father is huge. So look at the greatness of your Father and soon all the things that worry you will fade into nothing. You won’t even know how we fixed the problems, they will just be gone.

     Delight yourselves in our love for you and love each other as you are loved. Love did not begin with you. Love cannot end with you. Pass it on.



     And these are the glorious words my beloved Teacher gave me today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

Luke Chapter Two

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed every one into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David :) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 

 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 

     As I read these verses again today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down the following words and share them with you.

He said:

     My little ones, it was our great joy to send our joy to you. It was our plan for eternity to be with you. I sent my Son because I love each of you and I wanted to be with you and in you. Our plans have never changed. We are on a mission to make all men, women and children know how much you are loved and how we long for you to know of that love.

     You have always been our delight. It is our delight to share everlasting joy with you. We long for each of you to be as full of joy as we are. The reason we are so full of joy is because we see the end and are not stuck in the past or stuck in the present. We know that our love never fails and no matter how hard a heart may be it is no match for perfect love.

     My loved ones, as you celebrate the times you call holidays I ask you to remember. Every day is holy to me. You could be filled with joy on every day and give gifts to each other every day. You could be delighted on every day in every hour if you would only focus on the story of my Son.

     The birth, death and resurrection of my Son is the greatest love story ever told and you are the focus of that love story. If only you will see how much you are loved then you will love each other as you are loved. This will bring peace on earth. The good will that I feel towards all men will become what you feel towards all and you will be in eternal celebration.

     My kingdom is not destruction, wrath and retribution; it is righteousness, peace and joy. This is the plan of heaven from the beginning for the world to be just like heaven and be filled with great joy. 

     So my loved ones, don’t let anyone make you afraid. The season of true love is just beginning and soon the whole earth will be filled with my glorious love. Don’t trust what you hear with your ears or see with your eyes. Trust what you feel in your heart where I dwell.

     I gave you the greatest gift of all and now I am asking for you to give me something in return. So you wonder, what does God want for Christmas? I am not only asking but demanding that you give me some things. 

     I want you to give me your worries and cares. Give me your burdens and your tears. Give me your sadness and I will fill you with my everlasting joy. Give me your loneliness. Give me your concerns for your future and your hurts from the past. I want them all. Will you not give me what I ask?

     My loved ones, a great new day is dawning. It is not a day of fear but of hope and light. The world is not coming to a terrible end but to a glorious new beginning. Wars will end and poverty will end and men shall bless each other and love each other and the Prince of Peace will reign in peace. 

     Don’t let others scare you. Yes my fire is coming but just as I stood in the burning bush yet the bush wasn’t consumed so I will be in each of you. My glorious fire will refine each of you and you will be filled with holiness and light. It is a glorious day that you are awakening to. My love is the fire that burns within me and love never fails. My love comes not to destroy the world but to destroy the things that are destroying my children.

     Finally my beloved ones rejoice in the day you are in. No more worry or fear. I gave you my best gift and I require you to give me what I asked for. Remember that each day belongs to my Christ. All things have been given unto him. Each day is Christmas. 

     I so loved the world that I gave my only begotten son. I never stopped loving the world. I never have or never will stop loving you. So give me your worries and cares because you know that is what I want for Christmas.



     This is the end of the words He spoke to me this morning.
I hope you are encouraged by these words,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

Fall in Love Again

     An audio version of this message will soon be available at the link below:

     Isaiah Chapter Sixty One

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; 

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, 

and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, 

and the day of vengeance of our God; 

to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, 

the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;  

that they may be called oaks of righteousness, 

the planting of the LORD, 

that he may be glorified. 

     I woke up this morning to these words comforting me. As I embraced these words that danced in my heart I heard the voice of my Savior. He asked me to write some things down and share them with his loved ones. Here are the words he gave me:

     My little ones, I am not afraid or ashamed of your brokenness. In my eyes you are perfect and holy and delightful. Do you have burdens and cares and problems in your heart and in your life? Yes you do, but only because you haven’t fully surrendered them to me. Delivering captives, binding up broken hearts and setting prisoners free is my mission from my Father. All that I accomplished was because of fellowship with my Father. I knew he was in me and you should also. I have come to make you free.

     So many are wandering and have lost your hope and your purpose. You have set out to do so many things and have lost the one good thing. You are born for fellowship with me. That is your primary purpose and when your objectives shift things get out of balance and your life goes sideways or backwards instead of forward.

     So many of you are discouraged because of events and circumstances. It is because you have made them the priority instead of fellowship. You say if only this happens then I will be happy. If only I get this job or this person is restored to my life or if my ministry goes well then I will be satisfied. These things will never satisfy. Only drinking from the well of life called fellowship will satisfy you.

    Do you remember that I said “let all who are thirsty come unto me and I will give you living water? I am the river inside you. You must get your nourishment from me and not from circumstances. When it really comes down to it whether you win or lose is not the mission of life. All that matters is did you learn to fellowship with me throughout your life, regardless of if it were on sunny days or in a storm.

     It’s called seeking the kingdom. If you fellowship with me all the things that you are laboring for will come to you. They have already been given to you but they are in me. All your Father’s blessings to you are in me. You have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realm that is in me. My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by and in me. I am that glory. The secret of the kingdom is fellowship with the King.

    My loved ones, I don’t want you to suffer. I don’t want you to worry. I don’t want you to labor. The birds don’t sow or reap or gather into barns. Theirs is not the life of labor but the life of abiding in praise. You can learn to abide in praise also because you can abide in me as I abide in my Father and Holy Spirit, and they abide in me and we abide in you. You are not outside the circle. You are in the middle of the circle. 

     Don’t see yourself as an outsider. You are the beloved and the adored. How much are you loved? Greater love has no man than that he lay down his life for his friends. My cross is proof of how much you are adored.

     My little ones there are so many things I want to teach you but you are too focused on the earthly and not on the heavenly. Focusing on the problem does not fix the problem. You can look at something that is broken all day and that won’t fix it. You must look past the brokenness to the healing.

     Imagine if your car was broken down. You can look at the broken part forever and that won’t fix a thing. Or you can go get a new part that is not broken and replace the broken one and you are driving again. Look past the broken parts of your lives and look at the cure. Stop staring at the problem and gaze upon your answer. I Am Your Answer!

     Delightful ones, start over today. Return to your first love. I am right here in your heart. I am not far away. Do you hear me whisper? I am calling you away from your problems and into my bliss. Share our delight. Be delighted in your place. Rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Do you know where they are written? They are written on the pages of the beating heart of God.

     So my beloved ones, rest in me and fellowship with me. Drop what you are doing and dance with me. Take your eyes off your problems and get lost in the loving gaze of your one true love. The one who loved you before you even knew who you were. The one who looked at all the problems in your life and saw right past them into days of glory. The one who never finds fault with you and favors you at all times. 

     You don’t have far to go. I am always with you and always inside your heart. Come into the secret place and fellowship with me. No more worries and cares. Give them to me and rest in me. I am your true love. Fall in love again.



     And this was the message he spoke to me this morning.
I hope you are encouraged by these words,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

I AM YOUR FATHER!

Ephesians Chapter Three

14. For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians Chapter Four

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call: one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.



     As I was praying today Father spoke to me and said to me: “Son, write down these words and share them with my children.”

     My little ones, the time of awakening has come. It’s time to awaken from sleep and see who you are. It is time to know the truth that makes you free. It’s time to know who you are and who you have always been. 

     You have been sleeping for a long time. Wrong teachings put you into a deep sleep and you lost your identity. False teachers told you that you were worthless sinners and you didn’t have any value. Then they taught you that you had to do all these things and keep all these new rules they made up to make you right again. I gave you only two rules when I spoke them through my Son. Love me and love each other.

     So what will this awakening be like? It will be resurrection from the grave thinking into the heavenly knowing. You are my children. You have always been my children. My Son came and found you because you got lost. He brought each of you back into right understanding of who you are. You thought your sin separated you from me so you hid from me in the world. All who see themselves in Adam run from me and all those who see themselves in Christ will run to me.

     It was the same lie from the beginning. Your enemy told you that you were naked. He tried to make you ashamed of yourself so you would hide from me. Adam and Eve wanted coverings so they wouldn’t see themselves naked. I was never ashamed of their nakedness. I didn’t tell them they were naked. The enemy told you that you don’t measure up and you don’t have all that you need, so you believed him and went into a deep sleep. It is time to wake up and realize that you are not who the world told you that you are.

     You are my beloved children. You are my offspring and my inheritance. I birthed you by my Spirit. You are not sinners born by accident who just happened to find my mercy. I loved you from the beginning. You were the plan. My lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. I knew what it would cost to keep you for eternity and my mercy was given before it was needed.

     So what does this mean my beloved? It means you must reject the lie. Anyone who tells you that you are unworthy of my love is not fully awake. You are my delight and my love and my plan. I want you to see yourselves as royal, holy children of the Almighty and this will free you from sin and lies and death. 

     You must come to know that you are who you are because you were born who you are. You did not earn your last name. I gave it to you. Do you remember what Paul told you in his letter to the Ephesians that all in heaven and earth are named for me?

     It’s time to know your true identity and rejoice because your family tree is written in heaven. If I kept Genealogy in the scripture do you not think I keep it in heaven? In heaven it is different. Not only is your family line kept but also the line of whom passed the gospel to you. One day you will find the person who taught you the gospel and then the person they were taught by and follow the tree all the way back to my Son.

     Oh Glorious Ones! How long will you see yourselves as small? You are children of God how can you be small? You are the purpose and plan of eternity so how important are you? I hear many who say yes but the scriptures say a man shouldn’t more highly of himself than he ought. But neither should he think any lower than he ought. 

  When you see your royalty you will understand that your neighbor is royalty also, and you will love and respect him because you know that he is mine. Do you remember that my Son told you that if you do anything unto the least of these “My Brethren” you have done it unto me? Wake up to who you are and who your neighbor is. You are not doing things to each other but are doing them to me. What did my Son tell Saul? Why are you persecuting “Me?”

     We are one body. I am the head over all things. My Son is the head of the church and the world. I exalted him and put him on the throne. One day when all things are complete he will give all things back unto me. All things will be under his feet eventually and all things will be in order. 

     It will begin with this awakening when you stop seeing each other as mere men and women and see yourselves as Royal Children of God and stop calling common what is precious. Is there not a person in the world that my Son’s blood was not spilled for? Are not all people precious in my eyes? Which of your children is more important to you? Do you not love them all?

     My dear ones please don’t let religion and the world put you back to sleep. Stay awake with me and fellowship with me and be my friends. 

     My Son came to give you abundant life and light. Don’t dwell in darkness. You are not bottom feeders. You are not children of the dark. Arise and shine. In other words, awake to the truth of whom you are and act like it. No more seeing yourselves as forsaken and belittled. You are citizens of heaven. You have all the rights and privileges of heaven. No more earthly limits. Live like you are from heaven and most of all, love like you are from heaven.

     Wake up my children. Arise, shine, rise up from the dust of religious decay and stand in my glorious liberty. No more being who the world tells you to be. Rise up and conquer in love and wake up all you meet. 

It is a glorious day that is coming upon the earth. Don’t miss it. Don’t partner with those who peddle fear. This world does not belong to anyone but me, and I gave it unto you. Take possession of it and drive out fear and ignorance. 

     The world is coming to a glorious awakening. Only those who love darkness are terrified of light. Destruction is coming and has come already to the dark kingdom. This has nothing to do with my glorious church. Don’t let anyone sell you fear or make you afraid again, you have already passed from death to life and are living in eternity already. Death has no hold on you. If you live on earth I live in you. If you come to heaven you live in me. Why the fear? Please wake up and fellowship with me in the light.

     I love you my dearest ones with love that you cannot even imagine yet, but soon you will. It’s time to let go of the world and grab hold of me. It is time to wake up to my love and wake up to your reality. You are not disgusting sinners saved by grace. You are eternally loved children born of my Spirit. This is the truth that will make you free. 

I AM YOUR FATHER! 

     These are the words He spoke to me this morning.

I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,

I love you all,

michael

Have No Fear, Your God is Near!

Psalm 24

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it.

The world and all of its people belong to him.

For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.



Psalm 82

God presides over heaven’s court;

He pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:

“How long will you hand down unjust decisions

by favoring the wicked?

“Give justice to the poor and the orphan;

uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

Rescue the poor and helpless;

deliver them from the grasp of evil people.

But these oppressors know nothing;

they are so ignorant!

They wander about in darkness,

while the whole world is shaken to the core.

I say, ‘You are gods;

you are all children of the Most High.

But you will die like mere mortals

and fall like every other ruler.’”

Rise up, O God, and judge the earth,

for all the nations belong to you.



Micah Chapter 4

1:In the last days, the mountain of the LORD’s house

will be the highest of all,

the most important place on earth.

It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

2: People from many nations will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of Jacob’s God.
There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.”

For the LORD’s teaching will go out from Zion;
his word will go out from Jerusalem.

3: The LORD will mediate between peoples
and will settle disputes between strong nations far away. They will hammer their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will no longer fight against nation,
nor train for war anymore.

4. Everyone will live in peace and prosperity,
enjoying their own grapevines and fig trees,
for there will be nothing to fear.

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies
has made this promise!

5: Though the nations around us follow their idols,
we will follow the LORD our God forever and ever.





    As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you He said.


     My beloved ones, why do you fear? I know you look at the news and at the world and you see chaos and turmoil. But you don’t see what I see. Yes there is shaking and trouble but you must remember the earth is mine and all the nations are mine. They may be in the hands of wicked people at this time but they are mine and soon all things will change. 

     I hear the cries of the oppressed and I know the ways and the struggles of my people. I want you to know I have a plan and that plan is not the destruction of the world but the salvation of it. I sent my son to save it, not to destroy it.

     You must turn your eyes back to me and turn them away from the constant fiction you call news. Don’t trust what you see with your natural eyes and hear with natural ears. Listen with your heart for just a moment. Take a moment right now and close your eyes and listen to my words and my heart. You must do this several times a day to keep your peace and not to grow weary of the constant barrage of lies you are being fed through all the systems of the evil one.

     My beloved ones, they long to keep you afraid and keep you troubled. They do this for many reasons. One is so they can prey upon you causing you to make purchases you would never make and decisions you would never make. Another reason is because people who are afraid are easily manipulated. You must never give in to fear and always trust in me and live in peace.

     I gave all authority on earth and in heaven to my Son. He rules from our throne and regardless of what you see our plan is working. Soon I will settle all the disputes of the nations. I will declare peace and put an end to war. I am the God of peace and my son is the Prince of Peace. We will rule in righteousness and in justice. All things that were stolen will be returned and justice will prevail.

     Do you remember what I told you in the Psalm you call Thirty Seven?

1: Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
2: For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.

3: Trust in the LORD, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
4: Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5: Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act.
6: He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.

7: Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!

8: Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9: for the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

10: In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
11: But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant peace.

12: The wicked plots against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him,
13: but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that his day is coming.

14: The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose way is upright;
15: their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.

16: Better is the little that the righteous has
than the abundance of many wicked.
17: For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.

18: The LORD knows the days of the blameless,
and their heritage will remain forever;
19: they are not put to shame in evil times;
in the days of famine they have abundance.

20:But the wicked will perish;
the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures;
they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.


     My loved ones, I have spoken these words to you many times. Stop letting those who peddle fear upset you. My word is sure and stands forever. Soon, war will come to an end and I will bring peace to the earth. The earth is mine and every soul is mine. Many are gone astray but they are still mine.

     Soon my church will believe in my plan. My son told you to make disciples of all the nations. Not to pray for their destruction. It is not the nations that are evil but evil spirits living in and ruling through weak people. Pray for the people to be delivered. Wake up those around you who have closed their eyes in fear and tell them to awaken to joy because my day is coming.

     Set your eyes on things above, upon my eternal plan. All you see with your eyes is wind and waves. The storm will cease and righteousness will rule. Pray for the wicked ones. I would rather they be saved and not destroyed. I will keep you in perfect peace if you will set your mind on me and keep it there.

     My children, the world is not coming to an end but the rule of the wicked ones ends shortly. Their power was already broken in the heavenly realm and soon will be destroyed beneath your feet. Who gathers an army just to retreat? You are my advancing army. You are my mighty ones. Darkness can’t destroy your light. 

     Arise and shine. Your light has come and my glory is risen upon you. You have no need to fear the darkness. Be my army of light. Share your light with all you meet. Heaven is invading the earth and the wicked are terrified. Have no fear, your God is near! 

     This is the end of the words he spoke to me this morning.
I hope you are encouraged by these words,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

Love is Calling: Will You Answer?

Galatians Chapter Two Verse Twenty

     I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

     As I was meditating on this scripture this morning I heard the voice of my Savior. He spoke to me the following words and asked me to share them with you. He said:

     Beloved ones, do you have any idea how much you are loved? I will answer it for you. No you do not. You haven’t even begun to know the depths of my great love for you. I will reveal it to you if you will listen with your heart and not through your religious filters.

     You were born from our love and birthing you was always for the purpose of our love. Father, Holy Spirit and I loved each other completely but wanted more beings like us to share that love with . So you were born. Are there ever too many people to love? Those of you with children do you only have enough love for one, or will you love the second and third child the same as the first?

     I love each of you and my love is boundless and so are my pleasant thoughts toward you. My thoughts are much higher than your thoughts about you. You think awful things about yourselves and I think heavenly things about you. My ways are higher than your ways. Your way is to condemn yourselves and belittle yourselves and my way is to exalt you to sit with me in heavenly places.

     Religion has told you that I am angry with you but that is a lie. It was not my anger or my Father’s anger that nailed me to a cross. It was the anger of mankind. Mankind was so angry about living in the fallen world that they spilled the blood of God to get even.

     It was never sinners in the hands of an angry God but God in the hands of angry sinners. Love is the reason I allowed you to take out your wrath upon me. I did this so your wrath could be extinguished and your love could grow. I could have chosen to walk away but my love for you would not let me. Have you ever picked up a screaming, angry child and let them scream out their frustrations while you held them in your arms until peace returned?

     So why am I telling you these things? Only by knowing my love can you be free from anything. All my power is based in and used for the purpose of love. I delight in life and not in destruction. All destruction is only to protect those that I love. You must only think of me as love even when you see things that you don’t understand come to pass you must learn to ask yourselves how my love will be manifested in these things.

     Most of you have been corrupted by a baseless faith system. Most of you have been trained to trust words in a book because they are written and not because they were spoken by my love. 

     Religion has taught you that if you keep the rules and you know all the magic phrases then you can move mountains. Do you want to know what kind of faith moves mountains? Faith based on love moves mountains. Only faith that knows that I am love and am always love is powerful. What good is moving a mountain if there is no reason to move it? Love must be the reason for moving it or there will never be enough faith to make it move.

     I came to save you because of my love for you. I took away your sins because of my love for you. I healed your diseases because of my love for you. Yet my church tries to heal the sick to prove they have power. Those who have love power don’t exercise that power for show.

     It is only when you become rooted and grounded in my love for you that you will be filled with the fullness of my love and faith and patience and goodness and kindness and glory. Your faith must become based on my love for you.

     This is what our beloved Paul told you in the verse you read. You live your life by my faith because I loved you and gave myself for you. Faith based on any other reason is a lie. 

     True faith is simple childlike trust. True faith is knowing you are loved and when things are good it’s because you are loved and when troubles come you don’t shrink away in fear because you know you are loved. You are loved if you live or if you die. If you fly or you fall you are still loved. It is only when you become totally convinced of this that you will walk in perfect peace.

     Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of truth. That word is that my Father so loved the world that he gave me to save you. Those who believe my Father is an angry dictator don’t even have a clue who they are speaking of. I came to show you who he was. I demonstrated his character to you. I loved and gave and healed and delivered and those who were trapped in sin I set free with no condemnation.

     It is time for you to check your faith and examine yourselves to see what your faith is based on. If it is not completely based on my love for you then it is built upon sand and will fall with every storm. I want you to be stable and never fearing. I want you to know that when tribulations come you can rest in my love. When the wind blows and the storm rages you can know that your foundation you built your life on is secure.

     There are two things I want you to always consider. First, I love you and have always loved you and will always love you. The second is, I am with you, I have always been with you and I will always be with you.

     I want you to surrender to my love for you. No more hiding how you feel and what you are going through. I know these things. I know when you are sad and I know when you are mad and I know when you are fearful. Stop the madness of trying to pretend that you are Super-Christian. 

     You are my child and you are above anything in this world. Even in your weakness I am your strength. In your failure I am your victory. In you doubt I am your faith. In your hopelessness I am your hope. I am the strength of your life because I love you and I want to be your all. Why do I want to be your all? It is because you are my all.

     On your worst day I was in love with you. When you despise the one you see in the mirror I am delighted in you. When you see yourself as a worm I see you as the stars of heaven. You can’t change my mind. I love you and there is nothing that either of us can do about it. I can’t change who I am. I am love and I can’t be anyone else. You are loved and you can't stop me.

     So lift up your heads and don’t be discouraged. I know all your battles and struggles and know your cares and hurts. I know your worries and your fears and yet all of those things disappear as you give them over to my love. Your pain is no match for my love. Your grief is no match for my love. 

     To those of you who think you have lost loved ones and things and friends: Nothing is lost. All will be restored in time. Even the hairs of your head are numbered and I have collected all the ones you lost so they can be multiplied and restored. There will be a day of restoration when everything and everyone you ever cared for will be restored to you. Behold I make all things new!

     So my loved ones, lift up your heads, look into my eyes and see me smiling at you. I was never angry or disappointed in you not even for a moment. I am ever patient and I know you are learning how to be an eternal being. I will teach you as you go. Yes there will be struggles and days that you want to quit but how do you quit being who you are? In all things I am with you and for you and in love with you.

     Please remember my loved ones, check your faith. Is it based on the fact that I loved you so much that I took away all your mistakes and sins and sickness and disease or is it based on your performance to a bunch of rules of faith that I never gave you? Is it based on the blood of my cross or the power of your memorization of scriptures and your confession? Is it based on my eternal priesthood or on how much money you dropped in the plate last week? Is it based on my Father’s love for you or your obedience to a rule book?

     Remember my loved ones: Laws for the lawless. Love for the righteous ones. Walk in my love and live in my love and rest in my love. You are the object of my great affection. Will you just fall in love with the one who is in love with you and get on with it? Love is calling: Will you answer?



     And this is the end of the words He spoke to me moments ago.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

One Day!

     An audio version of this message will be available at the link below:

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

     They were in slavery for hundreds of years, but one day I sent Moses to deliver them.

     They were trapped between the sea and a fearsome army but one day the sea opened and they crossed and never saw that army again.

     The wandered forty years in the wilderness but one day they crossed into the Promised Land.

     There was a giant that terrified and tormented the armies of Israel but one day David came by and took off the giant’s head.

     There was a famine in the land and a woman was prepared to eat her last meal and die but one day I sent a prophet to her and she never went hungry.

    There was a fiery furnace where those who opposed the king met their doom. But one day they threw in three and I sent in One and they all came out alive.

     Sin reigned and brought death to the world but one day my Son was born to a virgin.

     A man was born blind and lived in darkness his whole life. But one day my Son opened his eyes.

     There was a man who was lame and had no one to help him into the healing waters but one day my Son brought living water to him and healed him.

     There were multitudes in the wilderness listening to my Son speak words of love. They became hungry but one day my Son multiplied what they had and fed them all. Many were sick and one day he healed them all.

     Lazarus lay dead in the tomb for three days but one day my Son stopped by and brought him out alive.

     They took my beloved Son and crucified him and put him in a tomb. But one day he rose from the dead and ended death for all who believe.

     The disciples hid in an upper room and prayed with all their might in one mind and one accord and one day My Spirit came and the fearful became bold as lions.

     My beloved ones: I know you have had a string of bad days. Many have lost so much and have almost lost hope. But I tell you that your day has come. Every day is your “one day” because my Spirit never left. I am always with you. I will never leave you. I promise you that your darkness will be destroyed by light and your sickness will be overcome with health and your poverty will be overcome with my prosperity. All I need for you to do is to live with me in this day called today.

     Today if you will hear my voice. Don’t harden your heart and think that it wasn’t me and it was just a voice in your head. You can hear my voice and enter into rest and know that all that you need was already provided and all you have to do is trust and wait for it to appear. I have given you all things. Everything I own is already yours.

     I am about to teach you how true faith works. Faith does not believe I will: it believes I already have. Instead of saying “Father, will you give me money to pay my bills?” you will learn to say “Father, I thank you that you already provided anything I could ever need. Thank you for passing me the bill money that you already provided.” Thanks Dad!

     Jesus finished it all. There is nothing left to be added but thanksgiving. This is why I said to make your requests known with thanksgiving. You get by thanking not by asking.

     Do you remember the story of the prodigal son? What did the Father speak to the oldest son? Did he not tell him that all things were already his and he could have had a party or a calf anytime he wanted?

     You must learn to believe the true gospel. It’s not a bunch of rules and regulations that you have to learn and do. It is a relationship between a Father and his children. Jesus came to show you how the relationship works between me and my children. He was the oldest Son so he came and took away all the things that could keep the younger ones from understanding who their Father is. He demonstrated that I was and always will be faithful even until death.

     Religion could only teach about a mean and angry God who couldn’t wait to smite the earth for sin. Jesus came to reveal me as a loving Father who came to bless my children with love.    

    It was not my wrath that nailed him to the cross. It was yours. You needed a sacrifice, I didn’t. I never wanted any creature to die for sins and especially not my only Son. You required a scapegoat. I wanted your heart not your sacrifice. Do you not remember what I spoke through my prophet Jeremiah in what you call chapter seven? 

     *For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’ *

     I always wanted relationship and never wanted religion. Yet today you still have lists of things you must do and things you must believe in order to be in fellowship with me. You listen to those who are deaf to me and they blind you because they are blind. I still want relationship with you. I haven’t changed. Jesus is my voice. I spoke to you through him. He spoke of a Father who loves my children and wants you to hear my voice as he did.

     This is why I said “Today if you hear my voice.” I want you to hear me today and I want you to know that I AM your God. I AM your help. I AM your health and prosperity and any other thing that you could ever need. Stop looking for an answer and fellowship with the answer.

      You may be in that fiery furnace of life but you are not there alone. You may seem to be in a tomb, but there is no place in all of creation where my voice can’t be heard. Listen for my voice. Hear me! I AM your way, your truth and your life.

     Come to me not as one who keeps all the right rules and says all the right confessions but come to me as my dearly beloved child. Don’t come to me in guilt. I took your guilt and washed it away. Don’t come to me in unbelief. Believe in what my Son already accomplished for you and as you. 

     As long as you only know me as God and not as Daddy then you don’t really know me. I am meek and lowly just like my Son. I sit on an eternal throne of love not of everlasting judgment.

     I am for you and never against you. I know all your cares and troubles and I am asking you to bring them to me in faith, knowing that your answer is already yes and will never be no. If you ask amiss for something that is harmful for you I will give you something better for you than what you asked for. Just don’t forget you ask by thanking because you already own all things. All that I have is yours already.

     The problem has never been with my giving, it has always been with your receiving. I so loved the world I gave my beloved Son. I gave first. I gave all. The reason the faith message you were taught doesn’t work is because it’s based on a formula of rules and regulations and not based on a relationship.

     Those of you with children understand that you didn’t write a contract with your children and make them sign it. You didn’t give them a list of do’s and don’ts or they don’t get to eat or get to sleep in the house. They don’t only get to use your last name if they keep all the rules. They are yours because they were born to you. You don’t protect them only if they are good and keep all the rules. You guard them with your life because they belong to you.

     If they run away from your love and protection then  you search for them and bring them home because that is what love does. It is the same with me. I am seeking all who are lost and one by one I will bring them home. So fear not my children. I am the Almighty who is in love with you. I am all that you need. You don’t need rules and regulations. You don’t need to worry for your "One Day" is here. I am your One Day!



   This was the end of the words He spoke to me at that moment.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time.
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

RESTORATION

     An audio version of this message will be available at the link below:

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

     As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to sit down and write down the words that he speaks and share them with you. I was delighted to do so as always and here are his words.


    My beloved ones: My children, my joy, my delightful ones. I love you with everlasting love and my joy overflows each time I hear your voice in prayer. I never grow tired of hearing your voice. Your prayers are to my ears what honey is to your mouth. Please don’t think that I would ever get annoyed with you or tired of hearing your voices.

     I want all with ears to hear what I have to say. We are entering the time of restoration of all things. This is a process of setting all things right on earth as they are in heaven. It is not time for you to shrink in fear or to run away from your destiny. 

     The enemy has spent several generations now speaking through false prophets and through immature prophets who are unable to discern my voice. He has convinced a whole generation of believers that the world is lost and there is no use trying to save it. It is time to put away these lies and be about the business of restoration.

     So what is the use I hear so many say? Well, think of it this way. I told you that the meek would inherit the earth. Are you meek? If you are then the earth is your home. If all the things that are going on in the world were happening in your house would you fight to save it or just give up on it? Did you forget that I so loved the world that I sent my beloved Son to save it? If it matters to me because of my love then shouldn’t it matter to you?

     I was speaking to all mankind when I told Adam to subdue the earth. I sent him out to put things in order. I gave him a garden as a base of operations. All he could ever need to live was provided in that garden. He could have used that base as headquarters to turn the whole earth into the garden that he lived in.

     The mission didn’t change. Once again there came another Son into a garden. He understood that what he did in that garden would make things right. He took away the curse of the thorns and thistles when he took the crown of thorns on his head. He took away the curse of earning bread by the sweat of your brow when he sweat great drops of blood. His blood spilled on the earth and removed all curses from the earth. Then he gave his disciples the same mission that was given in the beginning. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and put all things back into order. On earth as it is in heaven.

     The day has come for my sons and daughters to arise and take responsibility for the earth. All creation is waiting for your revealing. It is waiting for you to discover your liberation and then liberate all created things. 

     You are kings and priests. Kings rule over geographic locations and priests represent me to the people. You can’t have the authority of the king or the priest unless you are willing to use that authority for the purpose for which it was given. Many seek power but deny responsibility. It is time for this to change.

     There is coming a great change among my people. I am returning hope to my children. They are beginning to wake up and see that the world will not be fixed if they are not willing to fix it. Many are beginning to realize the truth that I told my Son to sit at my right hand until I make his enemies his footstool. Many understand that you are all the voice crying in the wilderness. You must make the pathways straight and then your king will return to you.

     Let me explain it in a way you can understand. So many people say, “don’t worry, Jesus will fix it all when he gets here.” Now imagine that you had a king or a president who was coming to visit you at your house. Would you say, “don’t worry, the president will clean my house when he gets here? No sense in me getting my hands dirty, I’ll just let him handle it when he comes.” Or would you clean your house from top to bottom and even dust the corners and clean the blinds?

     So my loved ones, how do you change the world? It is not as hard as you think. You have been given power from heaven. You have my Spirit and my Power living in you. You are lacking nothing. You have all things.

     So how do you do this? It begins with what my Son told you. Get the beam out of your eye and then help your neighbor get the speck out of his. Start by cleaning up your own house. Put away all darkness and evil. Your sins are totally forgiven by me, past present and future but the wages of sin is still death. If you play with a loaded gun and get shot it was not me that shot you but you still got shot.

     So put aside anything in your life that is not in my life. Put away the old habits and the worldly ways. These things don’t separate you from me but they defile your own conscience making you feel guilty and unworthy of your calling. Give no place to the devil. Just kick him out of your life one habit at a time if you have to. Put off that old dead man who was crucified at the cross and put on my son. Learn to see my Spirit as your robe of righteousness. Use the power of my Spirit to put an end to all unrighteous acts.

     You have a role model to imitate until you learn how to live in holiness. That is why I told you to be imitators of God as dear children. That is how you learn. Children learn by watching their parents and learning to do as they do. Keep your eyes on things above and learn to practice holiness. You are holy because I made you that way so walk in the true nature within you.

     As you get more and more of the old nature put away and the new nature established then it will seem natural to you to be rulers of the earth. This is what my prophet Isaiah saw when he spoke in what you call chapter Thirty Two when he said a King would reign in righteousness and princes would rule in justice and a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind and a shelter from the storm and rivers of living water in a dry place. Isaiah saw you. He saw you. No more hiding from who you are because you were seen long before you arrived. Stand up and be the ones you were created to be. No more hiding from your responsibility and denying the power that is in you.

     My beloved you are not waiting on me. I finished my works and am resting waiting on you to finish the ones you had ordained for you. This will be accomplished as you find out who you really are and what you are here to do. As you imitate me and my Son you will become just like us. You will finally be on the outside who you are on the inside.

     I have heard many of you ask me where are the mighty ones of God? Where are the prophets and evangelists and teachers and healers? I tell you where they are. They are on your couches looking around for someone else. You keep looking outward for what is already inward. You are looking for power from on high but the most high one lives inside you. You are not trying to get power from above but need to learn to release power from inside. You are not lacking power. You are lacking focus.

     All of the things that used to be impossible have been done by those who don’t believe in impossibilities. All the great inventions of your time were accomplished by those who wouldn’t take no for an answer. And where did these things come from? Did they fall out of heaven? No, they came from the heaven within. Revelation comes from within. I live in heaven and I live in you so heaven is inside you as you are inside heaven. One day this will be plain to you.

     So my loved ones: Get ready. Soon the earth will be full of my glory. You will put sickness, disease and poverty out of business. One day even death will not be allowed any more. 

     Think of it this way. It once seemed impossible to run a four minute mile but once someone did it then many followed behind. It used to be impossible to fly and then some men had a dream of an airplane in their hearts and soon everyone was flying. It used to be impossible for anyone to come back from the grave but one man accomplished it over two thousand years ago. 

     What are you waiting for? My son already kicked death right in the teeth and put death in its place. He is the first born among many brethren spiritually and physically. He came out of the grave with the same body he went in with. His mortality became immortal. His dead body was overcome by life. I know many can’t hear this now but remember it and one day you will believe.

     Please my beloved ones; wake up to who you are and start this revolution of restoration. Start in your own life. Give the dead things in your life over to the Spirit of life. Become fully awake until your life becomes heaven on earth and then help your neighbors. We are no longer two but one. The only difference between you and my Son Jesus is that he knew who he was and he gave himself over to me and surrendered his whole life to me. As he is so are you in this world. 

     Feed on the garden I planted within you and restore the earth. The tree of life is within you. You have a river of life flowing from within so get started restoring the earth. You will know when you are finished. When you can no longer tell a difference between heaven and earth you will be finished.

     I love you my dear children. Take my love and love each other with it. Encourage each other. Lift each other up and bear each other’s burdens. This is who you are. Don’t forget your assignment. On earth as it is in heaven.



     This is the end of the words He spoke to me a little while ago.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

Matthew Chapter Fourteen

13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve bucketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.


     As I was meditating on these verses today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down the following words and publish them. He said:

     My children, it is time to change your minds. Your minds have been programmed to think about a gospel that is not finished. You have been taught that if you do this then I will do that. That is not the gospel. That is works. The truth is that it is finished and you must learn to live as if it is. No more thinking that you need more or you are lacking this or that. You have all you need. It’s not what you need to add but what you need to remove.

     It’s time to remove the lies and live in the truth. Holy Spirit came. We live inside you now. You don’t have to pray for me to rend the heavens and come down. That was the sound that was heard on Pentecost. I tore a hole into eternity and came to live inside you. You don’t have to beg Holy Spirit to come. Holy Spirit never leaves you. Holy Spirit lives inside you. No more praying from lack and limits. Pray from the knowledge that all things are yours and all that you have to do is learn to appropriate what you already have.

     So many of my people give up because they have been told that they have a lack of faith. Just remember that I never asked Jesus to prove who he was. Your enemy did that. You are complete in me and as long as you think you are lacking you will live in lack. You must learn to see that you are unlimited and there will never be a day when any limits are put on you. You must learn to see what you have and stop looking at the lack you perceive to have. You are not lacking faith. You live by my faith and it is not lacking.

     Think of it this way. When it came time to feed a multitude of hungry people the disciples saw lack. They said a year’s wages wouldn’t give everyone even a bite. They wanted to send the people away hungry. But what did Jesus see? He didn’t say they were lacking. He asked, “What do you have?” Once you realize that you own the world, it is your inheritance then this will make perfect sense. Remember, I told Adam to be fruitful and multiply, not be super conservative and add. Multiply what? Everything. Whatever you need.

     So how do you do this? The same way Jesus did. He took what he had, gave thanks for it, blessed it and handed it out. He looked into heaven to give thanks. He understood that his supply was from heaven. Whatever you give thanks for and bless gets multiplied. 

     It works the same with lack. If you see lack and meditate on lack then it gets multiplied also. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. You must learn to never consider yourself lacking and learn to be at rest and know that you will never be without unless you choose to. This is why I said to make your requests known with thanksgiving. You are not looking to get, you are using thanksgiving to steer what you have to where it is needed.

     Do you remember that I led Israel out of Egypt and fed millions for years with manna from heaven? In a barren wilderness water flowed from a rock and food came from heaven but all they saw was lack. Did any of them starve to death or thirst to death? No they did not. Lack was only in their mind. They didn’t have what was in Egypt. They had better and were on the way to a promised land of plenty. They chose to see themselves as lacking.

     Here is the sneaky part. In the western world you assume that if you don’t have what your neighbor has then you are lacking. This is a lie. You have what you need. I calculated what you would need long before you were ever born. I have already given you all things that pertain to your life and your godliness. You are not lacking. When you dispel the lie you will be left with the truth. It’s time to throw away the lies.

     My church is addicted to the toys that the world plays with. My children pray to me to give them these toys but I told you if you ask for an egg I won’t give you a serpent. I will not give you things that will destroy you. Do I want you to have the best? Of course I do but not all that you are craving is good for you. I have a plan for your life and it’s a life of abundant grace given to you by my son and all you need has been provided for you.

     So what are other lies you have believed? What has the enemy sown into my people? There are so many but I will mention a few. Your enemy says, “it’s the last days and things have to get really bad and all the world has to go into tribulation.” 

     What is the truth? Here is the truth: My kingdom started out as the least of all plants in the garden and will grow until it fills the earth. It started out in tribulation and has grown through that tribulation and will continue to grow. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of my glory as the water covers the seas. This is truth.

     Do you think I shed my son’s blood on the earth just to give it to my enemy? It is time to stop the madness. My kingdom is growing and growing. It is unstoppable. It will fill the earth. 

     Do you remember that I promised that there would be a day when I said no one would teach his neighbor about me for all would know me from the least to the greatest? Where does this fit in your doomsday scenario? So many of my people have a little tiny God and a great big Antichrist. How does this glorify my son?

     The time of truth has come and the world is waking up. I am revealing the truth of my kingdom and the truth about my people. You are not lacking, you are not forsaken, you are treasured and adored. All that you will ever need became your inheritance when my Son died on that cross. 

     You have all the resources of heaven and earth but the lies you have believed are stopping you from living as kings and priests. How long will a poor king be in power? Would his enemies not overcome him if they were wealthier than him? You are not poor, you just haven’t learned how to appropriate your riches.

     What is true riches? Answer this question honestly. Think about the people who call themselves Christians. What if they had the choice to spend five minutes in my lap fully aware of me and heaven or to be given a million dollars to spend on anything they wanted on earth, which would they choose?

     The so called faith movement taught you that you had to earn it by giving and keeping the laws of the faith movement. Make sure you are giving, your tithe, your offering and your offering upon offering. Don’t forget if you ever confess the wrong saying then all the years of saying the right thing goes right out the window. How crazy this is?

     Imagine if you were a great athlete on a successful team and the coach told you that you are the greatest player ever, but if you ever miss a shot you are off the team? One missed shot and you are busted down to peewee league again. How silly would that be?

     Those who run the name it claim it false doctrine twist my scriptures and tell you to seek my kingdom and all these things will be added to you.They keep you seeking for what you already found.  Does the king live within you? If we do then you have found the kingdom and all other things have already been added. 

     With that teaching it is always about works and about future. It never gives my son the glory for his finished work. It takes the glory from what he did and gives it to you for what you can do. 

     Haven't you heard them say "well brother, I live by my giving." Yet my beloved apostle said, it's no longer I that live but Christ living in me and the life I live is not even by my own faith, it is by the faith of the Son of God who LOVED me and gave himself for me. With them it is always about what you must do and never about what Jesus already did. That message is not truth. Wake up my beloved.

     The truth is I want your heart. You love me because I first loved you. I loved the world so much that I gave my only Son. I gave you all things by my love. You can’t earn an inheritance, you were born with it. I gave you all I had. 

     You don’t have to give to get. You already posses so you will learn to give because giving is loving. Any gift given for any other reason is just a bribe anyway. This so called faith message taught my people to be greedy. It never was about love. It was always about possessions. It was how you can get a bigger house and bigger car and more money. It never was about how you could love more and help more and be more like my son. It is time to throw away all the selfishness and believe the truth. It is always about love and will always be about love.

     So my dear children, meditate on what is already yours. Don’t look at lack. It is not even real. What is real is that you are loved and favored and the earth was given to you and all I ask in return is that you learn to love each other as I have loved you. I ask you to learn to release the heaven within you until it fills the earth.

     Just remember, give thanks, bless and distribute. It really is that simple. No more fear of lack or fear of anything. You are in me and I am in you. What do you have to fear? The power of my kingdom is within you. You lack nothing. As my son is, so are you in this world. The only difference is that Jesus believed that he was my son while on earth. He wasn’t waiting until after the resurrection to live as my son. You are my child, right now, right here. No more waiting.

     Will you change your mind my beloved ones? Will you believe in who I made you to be. Don’t let anyone else tell you who you are. To as many as believed I gave the power to become the sons of God. 

     Listen to Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is your teacher who takes what belongs to us, to our nature and shares that with you. Don’t let the world define you. Be transformed by renewing your mind to what was accomplished at the resurrection of my son. Death was defeated. It was swallowed up by life. Life abounds. All you need to do is throw away the lies and live in the truth.

     I love you my dear children. I gave you all I have so use it to love each other and to provoke each other to loving acts of kindness. Freely you have received, freely give, not the other way around. You are kings and priests. Know who you are and live like it. Remember my beloved, give thanks, bless and distribute.



     This is the end of the words He spoke to me moments ago.
I hope you are blessed and encouraged by these words,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael
