Colossians Chapter One 

15. Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.

He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.

He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see, such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.

Everything was created through him and for him.

He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.

Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body.

He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead.

So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him 

*God reconciled everything to himself. *

He made peace with 

*everything in heaven and on earth*

 by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.

This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he 

has reconciled you to himself

 through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and

 you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. 

But you must continue to 

believe this truth

 and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.


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

     My beloved family; yes you are my family. I am the Father from whom all the families in heaven and earth are named. Each of you is part of a family on earth. But all families are in me. Even the ones who don’t understand they belong to me. They will each awaken in time and know that they are mine.

     I am speaking to you my beloved ones to bring you rest and peace. So many of you believe that there is a battle going on to overcome evil and that the battle could be won are lost if you don’t work harder. This is not the truth. 

     My Son overcame all evil and made a public show of them when he rose from the dead. He reconciled and made peace with all things in heavenly realms and on earth. It is finished. I made peace with all beings by the sacrifice of my Son on the cross.

     So what are you fighting? You are fighting ignorance because you haven’t been taught the truth about your true identity and about where you are. You are my beloved children and you are seated with my Son high above all principalities and rulers. You are not down below trying to pull down some evil spirit who is above you.

     The evil that you see in your world is not some wicked force trying to overcome the world. So where does it come from? My Son already told you when he said “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 

     And our beloved Paul in the letter to the Galatians said: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings. These are fleshly things, not spiritual things.

     Those who do these things do so because they don't know who they are and are not walking in the Spirit that is freely available to them. They will not see my kingdom at work in their lives unless they awaken. It doesn't mean they wont go to heaven. It means they live in hell on earth because they are trapped in such things. 

     Those who teach you lies make you think all these things are spiritual forces but they are all the result of false identity. If the hearts of all men would receive the truth about my Son, and about their own identity as my sons and daughters, all these things would cease.

     It’s time to know the truth. The heavens are at peace. You were told in the Revelation that was given unto John that all these things were defeated. Because you were told these were future events you don’t live in what is already available to you.

     My Son finished all that was needed; that is why I told him to sit at my right hand and see his enemies become his footstool. I told him to  watch what he planted grow and grow and overcome the world. 

     The ones who were his enemies nailed him to the cross were defeated, and the system that tried to separate you from me was destroyed when the whole temple system was destroyed. I no longer live in a temple made with hands; you are my home now.

     Who were his enemies upon the earth? Was it not the Pharisees with all their religion and anger who knew who he was and yet just as he told them in the parable, they killed all the workers in the vineyard and when the Son came they killed him to take his inheritance. Just as Jesus prophesied they were destroyed and our vineyard was given to those who bear fruit. 

     He wanted to gather them like a mother hen gathers her chicks but they refused to listen and their house was left desolate. 

     Paul told you that "we" speaking of himself, do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against wickedness in high places. All these things were connected to the old system and ended when the temple was destroyed. 

     This was explained in the letter to the Hebrews that the old was passing away and the new was being established. Just as they wandered in the wilderness for forty years they were given forty years to enter the true promised land. This fulfilled my Son's prophesy that some who stood before him that day would not die until all these things came to pass. It all happened just as he said it would.

     Because you don’t understand what day you are in, you still think you are fighting against things that are more powerful than you. This is a lie. There is no one more powerful than you. If you were so valuable that I would send my Son to give himself for you then what are you worth?

     My beautiful ones, the only enemy you have to defeat is ignorance. I already reconciled all things unto myself. All you have to do is awaken to the finished work of your reconciliation and share it with others. As people awake unto the truth then all these wars will end and there will be peace.

    My loved ones do you remember what was written in the letter to the Hebrews?

     Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that 

through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 

 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 

     How did it say he would destroy the devil? It says through death. Did Jesus die? Did he destroy the devil? Do you believe the scriptures?

     So many think they are facing a full grown powerful devil and don’t know that he was already destroyed.

     My children think they are casting down these great and powerful beings but they are already defeated. What were you told to cast down?

     In his letter to the Corinthians Paul told you to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. And to take every “Thought” captive to the obedience of my Son.

     My children I have declared Peace! Yet my church declares war. The true light has come and the only enemy you have is the ignorance of the truth. 

     Awaken to the truth of the gospel. You are holy and blameless as you stand before me perfect in my love. So are all men but most don’t know it because they were told that I was at war with them. The war is over! You sit on the throne of heaven with my Son. Will you believe it’s finished? Will you believe in Peace?

     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,
As we say in Texas “I love all y’all!"

I’ll see you soon.

Comfort My Children

Isaiah Chapter Two

He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.


Isaiah Chapter Nine

7. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.


Psalm Forty Six  

He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

“Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by (every) nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.”

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress.


     As I was praying early this morning these verses began to call to me. I heard them in my heart so I looked them up and copied them and listened to what they were trying to teach me. As I listened for a few moments Father spoke to me and said to me: “Comfort My Children! Again He said: "Comfort My Children! "Remind them of these scriptures and then give them these words I speak to you. Take away their plate of trembling and feed them with my beautiful hope"

Here are his words:

     My beloved ones; No more fear. This is not the end of the world. This is the beginning of putting the kingdoms of the earth in order so that there may be peace and safety among all nations.

     False teachers who don’t understand the “finished” work that my Son did in his death and resurrection would try to make you afraid. They will tell you that this is the perilous times spoken of in the book. Even though in the revelation John was told that these things must quickly come to pass, people still insist that quickly means two thousand years later. John was told not to seal up the book for the time of these events was at hand in his day. 

     My loved ones, because they don’t know my plan or my time table they try to move things into order that is out of order. It’s time to put away the fear and doom and prepare for a glorious future!

     In the scriptures that spoke to you it’s plain that all nations will know me and give me glory. Those who have held the earth in bondage because of greed and lust are being removed and their ability to stir up wars and pestilence to increase their profits has come to an end.

     My people are waking up and realizing that I am The God of Peace. If my Son is the Prince of Peace then obviously I am the King of Peace!

     You are all my children and the days of my children warring against my children are coming to an end. Many don’t know they are my children because they haven’t come through what you call being born again, which is really the revelation that you were and have always been my child. They haven’t seen my goodness that leads to repentance because my own church hasn’t preached my goodness but has preached doom and gloom. 

     They have preached about an angry God who is more interested in keeping score and punishing than in loving his own children. They believe that I loved the world so much that I sent my only begotten Son but I guess they somehow believe that I have changed and no longer love the world my Son saved.

     My loved ones you can change this. You can start by putting away the fear. The day you live in is glorious. You can share peace and strength and joy and let those who haven’t seen the light see the goodness that you see.

     My dear ones; don’t be fooled any longer by the fear message. Do you remember what my Son said? He said “Fear not for I am with you always.” I told you I would never leave you and never forsake you. I am inside you and you are inside me. We are one and not two, and we cannot be divided. This was told to you in the scripture “What the Lord has joined together no man can separate.”

     You can’t go forward into the day that is dawning if you hold on to the days past. You must believe the glorious, good news of the gospel. What part of gloom and doom about the world is going to get worse is good news? This is not the gospel.

     I told my Son to sit at my right hand until I make his enemies his footstool. I didn’t say “Go get our children because my enemy is too strong and I can’t protect them on the earth.”

     Do you remember what Jesus prayed in John Chapter Seventeen? “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over (all flesh), to give eternal life to (all) whom you have given him. And this is eternal life that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

And in that same prayer he said:

I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 

     My loved ones do you remember what was spoken in the letter to the Hebrews in chapter eight?
"And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the LORD.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already."

     I will for the all nations of the world to be at peace and to  fellowship with me. Please put away the fear and rejoice with me for the kingdoms of this world will soon walk in love with each other and care for each other. They will not be divided by the failures of the past but will all embrace the glorious future that is upon them.

     Please my loved ones; take your attention off the lies and look to me. You can’t follow the light if you are staring at the darkness. You can’t overcome fear with more fear. Only love conquers fear.

     Remember the words I spoke through my beloved one whom you call John. He said: “This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.” My son destroyed the one whom you call the devil. He didn’t fail. The power of the evil one is long broken. The only power he has is feeding on the fear you have for him. 

     All authority in heaven and earth was given to my Son. It was not given to the devil or the one you call “anti Christ.” So put away the lies and the fear you have been taught to live in. Arise and shine. Your light has come. You are my glory! It’s time to take your place and to take possession of your inheritance.

     On earth as in heaven! This is the plan. Put away fear and embrace the plan. My Son endured the cross because he saw the joy to come. If you look at the joy to come you can shake off these temporary problems and fears and you can rejoice with me. You are safe in my love.



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

When Christ Is Revealed

Colossians Chapter Three


    1. Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.



    As I was praying today this verse bubbled up within my heart. I read it a few times and I was thinking Father wanted to tell me to take my mind off of all the things we see happening in the world today so that I wouldn’t be worried. I soon found out I was wrong. He spoke to me and asked me to write down his instructions and share them with you. He said:

    My children; I know there is a lot going on in the earth. I know these things make you fearful and worried. Let’s set all that aside for a moment because those of you who know and have quoted this verse may be missing the truth within it.

    Yes setting your mind on things above will keep you in perfect peace but consider what is said in this verse. When Christ our life is revealed you will also be revealed with him in his glory.

    Most of you were taught that this means when Christ returns you will be with him in glory. It doesn’t say return, it says revealed.

    As you set your minds on things above and you seek the things which are above the revelation of Christ will come to you. You will know who you are and you will understand that you are truly dead to this earth and your life is in heaven.

    You will know the glory that we bestowed upon you as our beloved children and you will no longer see yourselves as one who is at the mercy of the problems of the world but will see yourselves as those who are seated with him in his throne. As our beloved Paul told you that you are seated far above all principalities and powers. You will know that you are above all your problems and you don’t have to pull down anything because you are already above them.

    My loved ones, it’s time to wake up. The resurrection of my Son was almost two thousand years ago, and yet most of my church still doesn’t understand that you couldn’t be seated with him unless you were raised with him.

    Only by looking at your true identity in your true habitation can you know who you truly are. Focusing on heaven brings your awareness into focus and you will see yourselves already in the glory of my Son. When it is revealed to you that Christ is your very life and the life you live in the flesh is by the faith and power of my beloved Son then you will no longer worry and wonder about what to do in this world.

    My plan has not changed. As Paul told you in Ephesians, I will gather all things together in heaven and in earth under the absolute control of my beloved Son. You can’t help this come to its fullness as long as you are focused on the earth and all the things happening there. Until you know you already dwell with us in our glory then you will not be able to effect true change upon the earth.

    My son changed the world with the heaven inside him. Do you remember he said “The Father within me does the works?” As long as you see yourselves as of the earth you will not change things. You must know that you are from heaven. My son told you that his kingdom did not receive authority from earth but was authorized by heaven.

    Don’t waste your time trying to find a political solution to a spiritual problem. The problems of the earth such as anger, hate, racism, poverty, war and any other problem all have at their core a lack of true identity. A political solution will never fix a spiritual problem. You can’t legislate love.

    Love is the answer to all these problems. If all loved each other then no one would lack and no one would abuse another. Love is the only answer and I am love. You must look to me for love and then share my love with all that you meet.

    Do you remember that before Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes he gazed into heaven? He looked in to give thanks for he knew the answer is always in the heavenly realm. You won’t find the answer by staring at the problem. At the tomb of Lazarus he didn’t ask for a miracle. He gave thanks for it.

    Up until now my church sees a problem and then looks to me for the answer. Soon you will know you are the answer and you will go in search of the problem. I was your provider long before you ever had a need.

    My loved ones you are already citizens of heaven. Your true birth certificates are in my book. You must overcome evil with good. All the anger and worry will not change a thing in the earth. You can overcome all things when you see yourselves as you truly are. You are above all these things.

    I tell you these things so you will refocus. Look at me with your heart, soul and mind. Look into the heavenly realm where your life really is. You will then know, that as my Son is, so are you in this world. Your true identity will be revealed unto you only as you keep your focus above and refuse to let your attention be dragged down into the problem.

    You wouldn’t fight to save your life if you knew you already lost it. You wouldn’t fight to obtain everlasting life if you knew you already possessed it. This would leave you at peace with no worries whatsoever about the world or the future.

    Once again my beloved ones; set your minds on things above because you are above. You are in Christ, Christ is in you. Christ is in me and I am in Christ. Holy Spirit is in us and we are in Holy Spirit. We all are in you and you all are in us. Rest your hearts on this statement and let our peace rule your hearts.

    Love one another as I have loved you. Love never fails. Love is contagious. Share it and soon the whole world will know love. This will solve all the problems you could ever face.

    Rest in my love, for you are all my beloved!



    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
