Isaiah Chapter Eleven

Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot.

Yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.

And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on him.

The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

The Spirit of counsel and might.

The Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.

He will delight in obeying the LORD.

He will not judge by appearance

nor make a decision based on hearsay.

He will give justice to the poor

and make fair decisions for the exploited.

The earth will shake at the force of his word,

and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked.

He will wear righteousness like a belt

and truth like an undergarment.

In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together;

the leopard will lie down with the baby goat.

The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,

and a little child will lead them all.

The cow will graze near the bear.

The cub and the calf will lie down together.

The lion will eat hay like a cow.

The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra.

Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.

Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,

for as the waters fill the sea,

so the earth will be filled with people who know the LORD.





Habakkuk Chapter Two

I will stand at my guardpost

And station myself on the watchtower;

And I will keep watch to see what He will say to me,

And how I may reply when I am reprimanded.

Then the LORD answered me and said,

“Write down the vision and inscribe it clearly on tablets,

So that one who reads it may run.

“For the vision is yet for the appointed time;

It hurries toward the goal and it will not fail.

Though it delays, wait for it;

For it will certainly come, it will not delay long.

“Behold, as for the impudent one, His soul is not right within him;

But the righteous one will live by his faith.

“Furthermore, wine betrays an arrogant man,

So that he does not achieve his objective.

He enlarges his appetite like Sheol,

And he is like death, never satisfied.

He also gathers to himself all the nations

And collects to himself all the peoples.

“Will all of these not take up a song of ridicule against him,

Even a saying and insinuations against him

And say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his—

For how long and makes himself rich with debts!’

“Will your creditors not rise up suddenly?

And those who collect from you awaken?

Indeed, you will become plunder for them.

“Since you have looted many nations,

All the rest of the peoples will loot you.

Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land,

To the town and all its inhabitants.

“Woe to him who makes evil profit for his household,

To put his nest on high,

To be saved from the hand of catastrophe!

“You have planned a shameful thing for your house

By bringing many peoples to an end;

So you are sinning against yourself.

“For the stone will cry out from the wall,

And the rafter will answer it from the framework.

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed,

And founds a town with violence!

“Is it not indeed from the LORD of armies

That peoples labor merely for fire,

And nations become weary for nothing?

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.




    As I was praying today these verses came up in my heart and I thought about them and then I looked them up and studied them and as I was studying Father’s voice spoke to me and said. “My beloved one, listen and write and publish and put an end to my people’s fear.”

Here are his words He said:



    My beloved ones, do you think I don’t see? Do you think you must fight against what is going on in the world today? Do you read the above scriptures and still don’t understand my plan? It doesn’t matter what plans the corporations of the world make or the leaders of the so called governments of the world. The world is not coming to a dreadful end but to a glorious new beginning. My will is going to be done and the only problem is that many of you have listened to those who call themselves prophets and prophetesses and don’t listen to the truth in your own heart and in the scriptures.


    Do you really believe there is any one or any group of people who can change my plans? No matter what you see with your natural eyes and hear with your natural ears there is a truth that is above and beyond all that you could imagine.


    You were told in scripture that I created the ages of eternity to shower my grace and my delight upon you. Even in the logical mind it would make no sense to spend all that I had to save the world that I love and then turn it over to a monster to feed upon my children. Wake up and realize that the future is glorious. Stop listening to the doom and gloom liars and listen to the Spirit of Truth within you. All that exists in the world you see and the worlds you can’t see belongs to me. There is no power that can change that. All things were created by us and for us. Nothing is excluded.


    The lies you have been told have stopped you from sowing into your own future. Because families no longer have the generations to come in their mind they become poorer and weaker. Because so many of you have swallowed the lie of the tribulation to come you have put off planning for your children’s grand children. This must end. You must believe the truth of the glory to come and prepare your hearts for the glory that is beginning in the great awakening of truth and love.


    Anyone who tells you to fear for the future is not speaking for me. They only do this because fear sells books by the millions and when the events that they told you to be afraid of don’t happen, then they write new books and change the dates and sell them by the millions also. Think of this. If they believed their own writings would they sell the books or give them away. If they believed the world is ending then what good is the wealth they are making from selling the books? If you really believed the world was going to end next week would you go to work to make money or go and hug your loved ones? See how silly this is?


    My beloved ones; even the prophets of old could see what was coming and yet my church today is blinded by fear. One election doesn’t go the way you wanted and you think it’s the end. Stop the fear!

    Let me tell you my plan. My plan is to fill the earth with the glory of my love until no one makes war again, until no one is hungry again, until no one is harmed by anyone or anything in the whole earth. The days are beginning and will soon shine brightly when the earth is transformed into the heavenly image of the one who created it. My plan has not changed. I will change earth until it is a reflection of heaven. I know many of you can’t hear this because of your fearful eschatology but there will be a day when it’s hard to tell which place you are in.


    Do you remember what the New Covenant is? I will walk with them, live in them and I will be their God and they will be my people. What part of this is doom and gloom and some crazy person called anti Christ ruling the world? My gospel is great news! Peace on earth, good will to all men. Please stop the madness. Heaven is already inside you and if you learn to release it then it will be around you also.


    These are the beginning of days when the Mature Sons and Daughters of heaven are revealed. There will be an awakening to your true identity and with that will come great power and a great desire to put things in order. You will shake off the lies that say you are no different than the animal kingdom and that your Father was an ape.

    You will know that you are children of the Most High God and will act like it. No longer will anyone be concerned with violence and fighting to get what they want but they will be hurrying to help anyone they find who is in need. My Son came to serve and that is what Sons do.


    Soon those who are gifted with great gifts will not use them to build their own ministry or congregation but will take those gifts to the streets and to the poor neighborhoods to put things in order.


    As people become unselfish then there will flow from within each of you the power to heal and deliver. Miracles will be normal and not rare. Do you remember what my prophet Zechariah said?

“On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem; the weakest among them will be as mighty as King David! And the royal descendants will be like God, like the angel of the LORD who goes before them!


    Remember that you are the New Jerusalem. My Son told you that you are the city set on a hill. You are the Royal Priesthood and the Holy Nation! Paul told you that you didn’t come to Mount Sinai with its rules and regulations but you have come to the New Jerusalem. You are the temple of God!


    This is who you are and this is what is coming! The days of the earth being filled with my glory are beginning. Don’t get stuck in the past religious doom and gloom message and miss the great day at hand. Those who cling to the tradition of lies will war against what is at hand. They will call it heretical or new age or some other word of the day, just as they did when my Son came. They said he couldn’t be from me because he ate with sinners and hung out with lowlife tax collectors and publicans. Their religious bigotry kept them from seeing the truth right before them. Don’t get caught up in the lies. Hold fast to the truth and the plan.


    My loved ones, I tell you these things because I want you to be excited about the future. If you own land then plant trees for your great, great grandchildren to build tree houses and swings on. Write them letters and put them away so that in generations to come they will know that you were thinking of them and planning for them. When you build a house build it to last for generations and think of those yet unborn who will call it home.


    Plan for your future and just because you are ill today don’t think you won’t be young and healthy tomorrow. As we get into the truth of this day to come then death will no longer be the way into heaven and as earth becomes more like heaven there won’t be a reason to die.


    Never forget that I told my Son to sit at my right hand until his enemies become his footstool. Don’t forget that I told you the last enemy to be defeated is death. Soon all death will be swallowed up by life just as night is swallowed by the morning sun and it will only be a memory. The plan is to turn earth into heaven. Are there any graveyards in heaven?


    Awaken for the glorious future is beginning today. Don’t be dismayed by what you see on your news and what you hear in the fearful voices in the pulpit. The glorious days are beginning and just as you were told in Paul’s letter that all things are being gathered together in one, things in heaven and things on earth. Soon you will know as many people in heaven as you do on earth for you are one family. The blinders will be removed from your eyes and you will see things you can’t even imagine at this time.


    My dear, sweet loved ones; don’t be afraid ever again. There is nothing to fear. You are in me and I am in you and soon all things are new and all things will be glorious!



    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

The Truth About You

Come Inside And Find Rest

John Chapter Fourteen

8. Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 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. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

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.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen


    I woke up this morning and these verses were speaking to me. They kept coming up over and over in my heart and mind. So I got up and studied them and as I was doing so Father spoke to me and asked me to write and share these words with his beloved ones: That would be you. I hope these words encourage you and help you to know his love for you. Here are his words; He said:



    My beloved ones, there is great power within you. This power is called me. I live inside you and there is nothing you need that is outside you. I dwell in your innermost being. It’s not just that I dwell there but we are joined together as one spirit and we are inseparable.


    I need you to throw away any doctrine that teaches you that you are separate from me. You were crucified and resurrected and your life is hidden in me. Your spirit lives in me and my spirit lives in you. There is no limit to what you can accomplish because the power that created all things is living inside you.


    Soon my church will awaken to this truth. They will shake off the lies that it’s man vs. God. I am and have always been on your side. The message most of you have heard is that you have to do all these things and fulfill all these legal requirements and then you will have my approval. Yes I hear some of you saying “but what about what Jesus said that the land that brings forth thistles is to be burned?” It already has been burned. The legal system that brought forth what you call religion is a garden of weeds and thorns. My Son kept every legal requirement for you and even though he was sinless he still took upon himself the punishment for breaking every law. This punishment was demanded by the law and was not an angry Father beating his child. He took all the failure and fault of the whole world and everyone in it upon himself. We did this because you are our beloved children and you are so loved. 


    My loved ones, it’s knowing that you are fully loved that brings you into the place of rest and blessing. The way for you to enter in was not made by keeping laws and rules but was made by my Son. When he was lifted up on the cross he drew you unto himself. You were so loved that he didn’t even ask you if you wanted to be saved he just did it for you and now all you must do is believe is that it’s already done.


    Any doctrine that tells you that you must do anything other than believe is not true. Your high priest who sits in the high heavens finished his work on your behalf and sat down at my right hand. He doesn’t have to offer anything else ever again. Through his cross I made peace with all things in heaven and earth and I reconciled the whole world unto myself. All that you need to do is believe and enter into the blessing that was given you and be reconciled to me.


    So what does this reconciliation mean? It means that there is nothing that can separate you from my love. You are included in all things that I do and you are not man from man you are God from God. To say anything else is to call me a liar. Paul said “it’s no longer I that live but Christ living in me.” He came to understand that the life force within himself was not human but was spirit born from my Spirit.


    Do you remember it is written that even if you are faithless I remain faithful because I cannot deny myself? This means you are my offspring. You were born of me and from me. You have a body but your body is not the life force that keeps you alive. You are the life force that keeps your body alive. No matter what you do you are still my child.


    Your behavior does not determine your last name. You are named after me because you are mine. Those of you who have and love your children understand this. You want them to do well but even if they do horrible things your love for them will never change. You were already in love with them before they were born and before they ever did good or bad in your eyes. You don’t have their name changed because they make a mistake.


    This is who you are to me. I didn’t base our relationship on your works but on the blood of my Son. There is nothing you could ever do that is so bad that it could overcome the sacrifice of my Son. It is written that my lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. This means that we understood from the beginning what it would cost to keep you eternally secure in and with us and we agreed to pay that price before you were born. Your security is not based on your works but on my love for you.


    So why am I telling you all of these things? It’s so you will come to know my love and be filled with my fullness. My fullness dwells within you already but you are not accessing it because your own conscience accuses you and tells you that you are not worthy. You must accept the sacrifice of my son and allow your conscience to be cleansed so that you have no recollection of your wrongs. Then you can be bold and realize that you are the beloved.


    It’s not some big bad devil that keeps you from being all that you are. It’s your own thoughts that have to change. You must see yourself as complete in me and whole in every way and perfectly loved. To deny that you are one with me is denying the sacrifice of my Son.


    Think of it this way. How many times have you heard this saying? “I am just a sinner saved by grace.” Now imagine how that sounds to me. Think about your own children. Imagine if they said they are not really your offspring but some old unworthy sinner that you happened to let in your house because you had pity on them. Denying that you are my beloved child and denying that you are worthy of my love is to deny me and all that I did so you could be with me for eternity.


    You must think again about who you are and how much you mean to me. Then you must realize that all you need is already done and the power to bring it forth is already within you. 

    You must end the idea of separation. We are one. As long as you look outside yourself for what you want or need then you will live in lack. I am the Father who dwells within the secret place inside you. I need you to stop looking outside for me and praying toward some external temple and realize that you are my temple. You are my house. I live inside you so why do you keep looking outside? 

    I long for those who worship in Spirit and in truth. It’s not on this mountain or that mountain or this church building or that church building or this denomination or that denomination that you worship in. Your God dwells within you in Sprit form. The same form you are inside.


    So come inside and know me as I know you. The power to change your world is not outside. I am inside and able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than you could ever ask but it will be done by power that is already within you. As long as you look outside you will never connect to the power.


    The river you seek is within you. The wonderful life you desire is within you. The God of all creation is within you. My Kingdom is within you. Throw away all doubt and unbelief. Trust in the one who loves you more than you could ever imagine. Heaven is inside you. The power is inside you. The answer to all questions is within you. I am living in your heart. Will you come in and find rest?



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

Philippians Chapter Three

7. But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained.



    As I was praying these scriptures bubbled up in my heart and I felt in my heart that Father wanted to teach me what they mean so I sat down to consider them and as I did He spoke to me and asked me to listen and write and publish His words to his beloved ones. Here are his words. He said:



    My beloved ones; I long for you to know me as I know you and I sent my Son so that you could have life more abundantly while on the earth as you have it here in heaven. There is one thing that is really slowing your progress and that is your unwillingness to let go of the past and grasp the future.



    When the Apostle Paul wrote the words to the Philippians these words were something they had never heard. The whole gospel was brand new at the time. Some who were Hebrews had been under the Law of Moses all their lives. Had they not been willing to let go of what they had learned they would never have taken part in the truth of the gospel. It’s the same today. When I spoke these things through my beloved Paul and my other Apostles it wasn’t all I had to say. My church is stuck so far in the past they can’t lay hold of the present and the future is not even on their radar. They cling to the words of the past and miss the words I am speaking to them in the present time. 

    My loved ones, The New Covenant is not in your bible. It’s in your heart. I said I would write my laws on your heart and mind. The letters in what you call the New Testament are holy and important but most important is for each of my children to have a relationship with me in your heart and not through a book. You shall live by every word that is proceeding from my mouth. Not just the ones I said generations ago.


    Think of this: When these letters were written most people couldn’t read or write. So should they be left out because they couldn’t read them? Should those who live in poverty stricken places be excluded from a relationship because they can't afford a bible? My early church did not have what you call a bible. It came hundreds of years later. They understood that relationship with me is not a religion but a living, breathing, passionate fire that is unquenchable and can never be contained in just a book.


    There are so many of my children who never go farther than the book. There is so much more waiting for those who will go beyond what is written there and let me teach you heart to heart. Remember you were told that the Apostles were the foundation of the church and my Son is the Cornerstone. The purpose of a foundation is to hold up the building that is built on top of it. They gave their lives so that you could flourish in this relationship with me. They wanted better for you than they had for themselves. So will you love your bible but love me more? Will you only know the one who lives on the pages of the book or will you know the passionate love who lives in your Spirit?


    This is why it was written that I seek those who worship me in Spirit and in Truth. It is not this mountain or that mountain or this building or that building that I wanted. I wanted each of you to know that you are the holy place and I live inside you. You were told to make merry in your heart. We can do this together. You sing songs inside your heart and if you will only listen you will hear me singing to you also. This is true worship.


    Worship is not one way! It’s not that I need you to worship me so that I will remember how good I am. Here is the truth. You were brought into this loving relationship between me and Holy Spirit and my Son. We love and adore and worship each other. This is what true worship is. I adore Holy Spirit and I adore my Son and I adore you. It’s the same with my Son and with Holy Spirit. We adore each other and we adore you so much that we created eternity just so we would never run out of time to show you how much you are adored. This is what I am calling you into. Not a dead religion that is two thousand years old but a loving relationship that is renewed second by second.


    My loved ones it is not just the dead religion of your past I need you to forget. So many of you are so burdened with guilt over past mistakes that you can’t snap out of the pattern of destruction that has become normal to you. You continually play this movie in your mind of all the mistakes you have made and play the “should have could have if only I would have” game in your head until you are sick. You must let this go. You are causing your own chaos. Because you continually bring this guilt and self hatred into the creative power within you keep getting the same results in your lives.


    You have no excuse. If the Apostle Paul could forget his past and move on into the future you can also. Guard your heart with all diligence for out it flows the issues of life. Don’t let guilt or anger or any other destructive thought ever get to heart level. This is why you were told not to let the sun go down on your anger. Don’t let it settle into your heart even if you are angry at yourself. Dismiss it immediately so it never gets into your heart.


    So I hear you asking but how do I do this? You must change the movie in your head. Don’t think of negative things from your past but only focus on the glory to come. Staring at the problem will not fix the problem. Remember I told you before that if your car is broken and you stare at the broken part all day the car will not get fixed? You must look past the broken part and look for a new one and soon you are driving again. It’s the same in your lives. You must stop staring at the broken parts over and over and start looking for the new life that you were already given. It’s already inside you but your focus has been on your mistakes and not on the truth.


    Here is the truth. You were sanctified, justified and glorified! You were chosen in my Son before we made the world. Your sins and your guilt were taken away by the blood of my Son. If you keep proclaiming your guilt you are denying His sacrifice. By constantly crucifying yourself you are not giving him glory for what He did at the cross. If you believe I am counting your mistakes against you then you do not believe the gospel. Do you want truth or do you want to remain in unbelief?



    My beloved ones; forget your past. Awaken to who you are and how much you mean to me. Set your minds on things above. If the thought you are having is not beautiful then spit it out and don’t think it again. Think only on things that are peaceful and lovely. The only way to change your future is to forget your past. When any thought of guilt comes to you immediately say “The Son of God took away my guilt on his cross!” The absolute truth is that you and I are one. If you condemn yourself you are condemning me. Let it go. Let the past go. Again I say “Let it go!”


    There is a glorious future available to you but you must choose it. I would never force you to do anything. I love you and will woo you with my love but I will never force you or demand anything of you.


    So my beloved, dear children, will you let go of the broken past and sail full steam ahead into the glory that is coming? I want to fill the earth with heaven and we can do this if you are willing. If you will recognize that heaven is within you and can be released into the earth through you then we can move forward. Once again, you are not waiting on me but I am waiting for you to awaken to the truth that you and I are one. We are inseparable. I will never forsake you. As long as you see yourselves as separate from me then you have not believed the gospel.


    Remember the words of my beloved apostle. There is One God and Father of "all" who is above "all" and in you "all." You can’t focus on me and on who you are as long as you are focused on what you did. 

    What you did and who you are not the same. You are not your past mistakes. When you were a baby you soiled your diaper. You are not a soiled diaper. You are not any other mistake you ever made either. You are my beloved child. Let go of the dead religion that keeps you condemning yourselves and awaken to the truth of reconciliation. I reconciled “ALL THINGS” by the sacrifice of my Son. You are seated in heavenly places and so perfect and beautiful in my eyes and in my heart. See yourself as I see you and you will be whole!



    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
