Matthew Chapter Six

9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

John Chapter Fourteen

1. “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

10. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

Acts Chapter Seventeen

“‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘for we are indeed his offspring.”


     As I was praying today these verses kept coming from my heart into my mind. I pondered a few moments about what Father was trying to teach me. After a few moments of meditating about these verses Father spoke to me and asked me to take notes and share them with you. Here are his words. He said:

     My little ones; you are so loved and so blessed! I don't call you my little ones because you are small but because I am a blessed Father and to me you will always be my beloved children. I only wish you could feel the pure delight I experience when I think of you. This means I am delighted all the time, for you are always on my mind. Not just occasionally, but always.

     Things are different in the higher mind; there is no past or present to me, it is eternally right now. So right now I am in love with you and thinking good things about each of you. You are with me in this realm but you are not aware of it yet. Soon you will know as you are known and great secrets will be revealed to you about how special you are and where you are and where I am.

     In me you live and move and have your being. I dwell in you and you dwell in me and we are one. We are not separate but are one. Think of it like a chandelier with one light in the center and many other lights all around the center light. Would you say “look at all those lights?” Or would you say “look at that beautiful chandelier?”

     We are one. I am the light of the world and you are the light of the world. There is only one light. You are so much a part of me and I a part of you that there is no way to tell where I stop and you begin. We are perfectly formed together and only in your mind is there any separation.

     My son told you that he and I were one. Not two but one. As he is so are you in this world. Soon you will awaken to the truth that you are not separate from me but are a part of me.

     I know I’ve told you this many times before but I need you to hear it. It’s time to end the separation lie and enjoy our oneness together. When you are awakened to our one life then you will no longer feel separated. You will no longer be anxious or afraid or sad. You will be full of my joy all the time.

     Imagine you were riding down the road and my Son Jesus was driving. Would you be afraid of having an accident? Would you be afraid you might break down and get stranded? Now stop imagining and know the truth. My Son, My Spirit and I are not driving your car. We are in you. We are not a car seat distance away. We are in you. So why are you afraid?

     The lie of separation is the greatest lie ever told. Religion has made you feel like I am a million miles away in some place called heaven. Don’t you understand? Jesus said to pray to me in heaven and then he said I was doing the works from inside him. So where is heaven? It is in you.

     I know you have been programmed differently but this is truth. I will never leave you and never forsake you. I can’t leave you anymore than I can leave my own self for we are one.

     You are the new heaven and the new earth wherein righteousness dwells. You are the city set on a hill and you are the city that came down from heaven. You are the bride of the lamb. You did not come from the earth, you came from me. Only your bodies were made of dust. But consider this: Was not the dust of the earth holy when I made man from it? Is there any part of earth that did not come from me? Is the temple holy because it’s a temple or because the holy one lives in it?

     As you begin to see that you are one with me you will also see that you are one with each other. You can’t be separated for I am in all and through all. I am the Father from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth comes from. The idea of lost versus found and us versus them will die. You will love your neighbor as yourself as you discover that your neighbor is yourself.

     There is one family tree and many branches. My Son told you that he was the vine and you are the branches. Do branches grow from the vine or do they come to the vine and mysteriously attach themselves to the vine? The vine needs the branch to bear its fruit. The branches need the vine to sustain life. You were born from me and came from me.

     Many are lost in their own minds and don’t know they are mine but all are mine. This is why the promise came that all shall know me from the least to the greatest. All things are new and all things are of me.

     My beloved ones: As you awaken to the fact that we are not separate you faith will soar higher and higher. When you realize that we are one and that all I have is yours then you will no longer take thought of lack or sickness or disease. You will put all things in order beginning with your minds.

     This is the truth that will make you free. Knowing that you are one with me and you are hidden inside me and I am hidden inside you and there is no room for fear. This is the greatest mystery ever! Christ in you! It’s like a game of hide and seek. I hid myself in you. You have looked for me everywhere but inside.

     Seek for me with your heart because I am in your heart. When you stop thinking you can get there with human intellect and stop seeking for more knowledge and seek me for love’s sake, you will find me. Don’t search for knowledge. Search for me in you. My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge but all that is lacking is the knowledge of who you already are.

     Think of it this way. Those of you who are married; did you seek your spouse just to obtain knowledge about who they are and what they could do? Or did you seek them because the love in your heart would not rest until you found them? Is it better to read about them and gain knowledge about them or to hold them in your arms and hug them with your heart?

     Love is the secret of secrets. I so loved each of you that I sent my son to rescue you from your fallen mind and to restore you to your heavenly mind. 

     In your minds you thought you were my enemy. You thought I was angry with you because you made a mistake and did something that is against my nature. But did you consider what my beloved Paul told you in his letter to the Corinthians? I was in Christ reconciling the world unto myself. Not counting your sins against you. I have never kept a list of your wrongs. Only what you do right is recorded.

     So come into your right mind. Let go of the worldly mind and all of its darkness and put on the mind of Christ. See yourselves as I see you and see your neighbor as I see you. I see you just as I see my beloved Son whom you call Jesus. Do you remember in scripture I called him God when I said unto him “Thy Throne Oh God is Forever!

     Soon you will be fully awake and know yourselves as one of us and not separate from us. I created you in my image and my likeness. In other words; if I look at a mirror or I look at you I see the same image. When I look at you I see me. I just want you to awaken and see yourselves as you are seen.

     How valuable are you that I would send my firstborn to save you from your broken mind? How valuable are you that the angels of heaven were created to serve you? Let this sink in: You are in my image and my likeness. If you want to see me then look in a mirror. Don’t look through the eyes of religion or unbelief. Look with the mind of Christ.

     I know this is where many of you will stop listening but this is the same reason they killed my Son. He said he was my son and they killed him for calling himself my equal.

     You already are justified, sanctified and glorified. You are not who you were told you are. You are who I say you are. Listen to me and do not let the fallen mind or people operating with the fallen mind tell you who you are. You are who I say you are. You are my child and everything I created was created for you. No more worry or fear or anxiety. Stop living the lie and start living in the truth.



     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

Matthew Chapter Six



11.  Give us ( this day) our daily bread.

25. “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.


Mark Chapter Eight

35. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.



     As I was praying today these verses bubbled up into my thoughts. I sat down and meditated on them and as I did Father made this statement to me: He said: "Now is how!"

     When I asked him what he meant He told me to listen and write and share, so here are his words:

     My little ones, you are so worried about tomorrow. You are worried about your children and your finances and your health and are spending more time in worry than in thanksgiving. This makes your life out of balance.

     If you truly trust me with your hearts you will put tomorrow in my hands. If you truly trust me you will put your past behind you. The way to know if you trust me is if you are in worry or in thanksgiving. If you are in worry you are not in trust.

     My little ones, did you forget that I created heavens and earth and all that is seen and unseen? Do you think I did it with worry or with joy? It is my good pleasure to give you the kingdom so I gave you the kingdom. Remember that I told you that the kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy. I didn’t say it would be those things, I told you that it is those things. If those things are not ruling in your lives then you have lost your focus. You are focusing on the world and not the kingdom.

     There is a better way. You can enter into the secret place of your heart and meet with me and pray. You can only ask me for what you need today. By only asking me for what you need today then you are letting me know that you trust me with tomorrow.

     So many of you lose hold of your tomorrow because you didn’t take care of today. By spending each moment focused on me and fellowshipping with me your tomorrow gets all lined up automatically and you don’t have to even plan it. 

     Go back and watch the birds. They sing and eat, and sing and eat and I take care of them. They don’t have barns and they don’t worry about reaping and sowing. They reap first and they sow the seeds they have eaten without even knowing they have done it.

     Enjoy each moment with me and tomorrow will take care of itself. This is how the kingdom works. Some of you spend days and weeks and years making plans for the future and then you end up changing them anyway. All that wasted time and all that worry. It would be better if you spend each moment with me and let me tell you what to do.

     Opportunities that affect the future will be brought before you without you seeking them. If you will be with me in the present then opportunities that affect you will be brought to you in that moment and you will not have to search for them.

     My loved ones: I fed you today. I will feed you tomorrow. Time doesn’t change how I love you. It’s not like I have enough to take care of you today but that will be depleted and I will not be able to sustain you.

     Have some faith in me. Are the trees I planted in the beginning still reproducing trees today? Are the plants I planted in the beginning still reproducing today? Are the fish I created in the beginning still reproducing today? How about the animals and birds? I didn’t ask Adam to plant the garden; I gave him a garden to tend to.

     It’s the same with you. You don’t have to create a world. You just enjoy the creation I gave you. All that you need will come to you if you don’t chase it away with worry. Is a hunter more likely to get a deer if he is still, or if he is worried and fidgety and nervous? Is a fisherman more likely to catch a fish if he is still and peaceful, or if he is splashing around in the water afraid of drowning?

     Be still and know that I am God. If you are not still and trusting then you must not believe that I am truly who I say I am. I am more than enough!

     I hear some of you thinking: What about counting the cost? When you were told the parable about counting the cost before you build; that parable was speaking about my providing for you. I counted the cost of each and every person and all they would ever need and I funded it long before anyone arrived. My Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world so that the price of your failures was paid before you failed.

     I am your provider. I will not be your provider. I am your provider. My name is not “I will be.” My name is “I AM!” I have been and will eternally be present in the moment you are in. There lies the problem. I am in your now and your mind is in tomorrow so we can’t communicate very well.

     My dearest ones; whom I love with all that I have and all that I am: Will you come to me right now? Will you come back from the future and meet me in the present. I give you a gift called now and you waste it lost in worry about tomorrow? Please come back to now. If you want to fix tomorrow then now is how.



     This is the end of the words He spoke to me just now.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

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.



Second Peter Chapter One

2. May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

John Chapter Seventeen

3. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.





     As I was meditating this afternoon all of these verses bubbled up from my heart and I began thinking about them. As I did Jesus spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you. He said:

     My family; do you know about me or do you know me? So much emphasis has been put on knowing scriptures and memorizing them and knowing concepts and that is not bad but there is better. I want you to know me the person and not just know about me. 

     Think of your best friend in the world. You know much of their past and you know their accomplishments but is that what your relationship is built on? Or is it built on love and friendship? Did you become best friends by reading about them or by spending time with them?

     When I stood before the Pharisees who knew scriptures better than the best bible teacher does today they couldn’t believe me because I didn’t fit in their preconceived idea of what I should be. They weren’t willing to accept a man who was comfortable eating with those they called sinners. They couldn’t believe I would heal on what they called the Sabbath, although they didn’t realize that I am the Sabbath. I am the rest they needed but they couldn’t see because they were so busy studying about me that they didn’t fellowship with me.

     There was a man named Saul whose name I quickly changed to Paul. He couldn’t see me either because he looked for me in a book and behind a veil in a manmade temple and not in a body. All the time he was out persecuting my loved ones he couldn’t hear me calling him from within his own heart. One day on that road to Damascus the revelation that I was already in him was too great. He was blinded to all he used to know and when the scales came off his eyes he was enlightened to the one he had read about his whole life.

     What I am saying my loved ones is that you can read about me all day or you can talk to me and listen to me and fellowship with me. The scriptures tell of me but don’t keep me living only in a book. I am not a character in a book, I am a living breathing, loving person. You speak of those whom you call the early church and about the amazing miracles they did but you don't realize that they didn't have a book. They had a relationship.

     I want you to know me as I know you. I want you to know my great love for you and I want us to live as one and laugh as one and have a heavenly time even here on earth. I am inside you and calling you to a relationship and not just for you to study about me.

     Think of it this way. Suppose you were famous because a book was written about you. You marry the love of your life but everytime you try to be intimate with your spouse they want to read the book instead of looking into your eyes and speaking to you. I am a living person not locked within the pages of a book. 

     Please my loved ones; come fellowship with me. I am inside you. I always have been, and always will be. When you read the book read it with me. Don’t just read words on a page but discuss it with me as if we were reading it together. Don’t be limited by what is in the book. I am a living being not a historical figure. It’s not what you know about me that fills you with my love and power. It’s knowing me the person.

     Have you ever read a book or heard about a person and then when you meet them they are nothing like what you read or heard? What you read was filtered through another person’s opinion. The Pharisees thought I was a sinner for healing on the Sabbath but the people who were healed thought much better of me. There are so many things about me that I want to reveal to my church but so many are closed minded because they somehow think I quit speaking when they quit writing the book.

     My loved ones; don’t just know what I do, know who I am. I am Love. I love you so much that I laid down my life for you to show you how much you are loved. 

     I long for your attention and fellowship. I am a husband who loves and desires his bride but sometimes she is more interested in the book she is reading than she is in talking to me. If you will spend time with me and talk to me and listen to me then I will write a new book inside your heart. It will be a glorious book full of great joy and adventure. It will not be about a man who lived thousands of years ago but will be a book about us and our great love for each other.

     My loved ones: It is not what you know: It’s who you know. Those who know their God will do great exploits. Not those who know about their God. It’s so simple. Would you marry someone you only read about or someone you experienced for yourself? 

     Speak to me. Think about me. Listen to me for I am constantly speaking to you and wooing you. I want you to know love. God is love. I want you to know the one true love and the Son of his love who is also love. I am calling to you from inside your heart. Will you answer and get to know me?



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