Isaiah Chapter Twenty Six
Verses Three and Four
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.
As I was reading these verses today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down his words and share them with you.
He said:
My loved ones. Why do you worry? Why do you fret? Is it not because your minds are set everywhere but on me? I know you hear me tell you to focus very often but that is because it is easy to be distracted. You have so many voices and so many events and programs pulling your attention from me.
You must learn to tune out the enemy and tune me in. You must change channels. Turn off the fear channel and tune in the peace channel.
I know so many of you are facing struggles and it's hard to keep your minds from wandering there, but you must learn to do this. If you want to be a disciple then the first thing you must discipline is your mind. You must not let it wander into danger.
For so many it's still the same thing. It's the fear of death that holds your thoughts captive. My son destroyed death. You are already passed from death to life. Your death was on the cross with my son. You are just camped in the hotel you call your body. Your real life is hidden with me in my son. You are not in danger. If you live you live for me. If you “die” as you call it you do not really die. You are in my presence immediately. You are really there now but the blinds in your hotel don't let you see out of the window into my world. It's time to open up the blinds and look into the eternal world that you already live in.
I hear so many of my children say they don't hear from me or they don't have dreams and visions but it's because you are looking in the wrong place. You can look in your refrigerator all you want but unless your are really messed up your hammer is probably not in there. You can look at the news and into the programming of the world but you won't find my truth there. You must come to me for truth and then go change your world.
I am the kingdom. The kingdom is inside of you because I am in you. I dwell in righteousness, peace and joy so if you are looking into darkness and gloom and depression you are not looking at me. You must learn to abide in my secret place at all times. My secret place never moves but your mind moves from safety to danger. You follow where your thoughts go. Whatever you think of most often will drive you into the direction of your thoughts. This is why the enemy tries to hijack your mind and your thoughts. You can learn to keep your mind on me and be at perfect peace.
Consider when my Son and his disciples were in the boat and the sea grew angry. The disciples were focused on the wind and waves and drowning, yet Jesus was asleep in the storm. He had perfect peace. If you can walk on water you won't fear drowning. If you can walk on water then you can sleep on water also and will never sink. Jesus only did what he saw me doing. He knew he was going to the other side of the lake. He knew he had a command from me to do so. He knew he was not going to drown in a storm. He knew his mission was not finished.
It's the same with you. You know your mission is not done. You know it's not your day to drown. You may be in storms and problems that are like howling winds, but you know you are going to the other side of these problems. You can get there in two ways. You can trust and rest knowing that I am taking you to the other side, or you can call upon the one who is at rest. He will use his peace to still your storm. He is the prince of peace and his peace is stronger than your storm. We would prefer that you would enter into our peace and watch your storm dry up.
My loved ones. It's not your day to drown. You can learn to be at peace. What if the wind in your storm is not there to destroy you but to air up your sails so you can move forward in your journey? So please take your eyes off the storm and put them on me. Look at my greatness, not your weakness. I am all you need. You can set your mind on me and live in peace or you can look at the world and live in terror. There is nothing you should be afraid of. The most the world could do is send you home. What a horror to have to move out of your house on earth and into your mansion in heaven?What are you afraid of?
Yet so many of my children think I am causing the storms when I have proved so many times that I am not. You listen to false prophets who tell you that I am judging you for the sins of your nation. They tell you I am destroying cities because of my wrath. Have you considered this? I told you in scripture that I was in Christ reconciling the world to myself not counting men's sins against them. I told you that my son was my lamb that took away the sins of the world. Do you not know that the only way I could hold your sin against you is to look my son in his face and tell him “sorry son, your blood was not enough.”
Once again my enemy has deceived you. The wages of sin is death but my gift is eternal life. Who is death? When you do wrong you have an enemy who pays you for it. It's not me. How many of you who are parents got up today and decided that since your child told a lie that you will punish them by destroying them and all of their friends with them because they are all guilty? What kind of monster do you think I am? Jesus came that you may have life and that more abundantly. Not judgment and condemnation and punishment. These false prophets who speak the doom and gloom that you feast on are stealing your peace. Turn them off and look into my face and see if you are still afraid of the future.
Bad days come and go but in every day there is a reason to rejoice. I am with you and never leave you. When my presence becomes real to you then you can live in heaven while going through hell. You can overcome the present trouble by looking into the joy that waits for you. You can build your life on the rock. Jesus is your rock. He came because he loves you. We love you and we are your future. So don't concern yourself with the evil in the world. It will soon cease to be. Look at me and forsake looking into the darkness.
Consider what I said through my beloved David in Psalm Thirty Seven:
Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the LORD, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.
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!
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
For the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant peace.
My loved ones, don't keep looking at the world and expecting to find peace. You look at me and let me deal with evil. Keep your eyes filled with my light and my love and my goodness. Don't worry about things to come. Trust me. Never doubt that I have your best interest in my heart and I hold you in my hand. I will never, ever, ever let you go. Set your minds and hearts to live in me and my peace. I am with you. I am with you in your boat, in your storm. I am here to give you peace. It is not your day to drown.
This is 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,
michael
