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.
Colossians Chapter Three
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
Philippians Chapter Four
4. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me: practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
I speak to many people and have so many that I am trying to open up to the truth of what Christ finished not only on the cross and through the resurrection but also in the age between then and when the Old Covenant Age ended when the temple was destroyed in the year of 70 A.D. Just as Old Covenant Israel spent forty years to enter the natural promised land so they were given a generation to enter the spiritual promised land also.
Most people don’t realize that Jesus lived and had his ministry at the end of the Old Covenant and the New Covenant was established by his blood and therefore didn’t begin until his resurrection. Many Old Testament prophets prophesied that Messiah would come and be rejected and then the whole Old Covenant system would be destroyed.
Jesus spoke of this many times when he warned the Pharisees that the kingdom would be taken from them and given to a people who would bring forth fruit. Also John the Baptist warned the Pharisees that came to him when he asked them “who warned you of the wrath to come?” The wrath was not talking about some end of the world scenario as most of us were taught. If you truly study the scriptures and history you will find that all the things Jesus said would come to pass in “this generation” did come to pass in the generation that heard him preach.
This all is explained in the letter to the Hebrews in Chapter Nine. There was a forty year period of time when the truth of what Christ did on the cross was being taught and the Old Covenant age was vanishing away.
So much of what we read in the epistles has to do with that time period, but those who twist scriptures to scare people have tried to push all those events way into the future. Jesus prophesied that the ones who were standing in front of him when he was preaching would not all die before all the things he spoke of were finished. So finished they were.
Because of this we think we are still fighting the same fight that the early church fought against the powers that were either destroyed or surrendered in their day. The scriptures we just read say that God made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by the blood of Christ. How much is everything? Because we don’t believe the truth we live in fear and don’t have peace.
As I was trying to write these words to the best of my ability to help others understand I finally just asked Father if he would explain and I would write down what he said. So he began to speak and I began to listen and write and here are his words. He said:
My beloved children I have called you to peace. I have not called you to war. Because you don’t understand what day you are in you are fearful and worried and your minds are set on the events on the earth and not where they are supposed to be which is in heaven.
You can’t bring heaven to earth if you are focused on earth. You are the conduit and heaven is within you. The most powerful creative force lives within you so what you focus on is created in the natural realm. Sadly most of my children believe strongly that chaos should be coming to the earth so it appears in their lives because as the scriptures say “as a man thinks in his heart so is he.”
My Son poured out his blood for a peace offering. The sacrifice he made was used to make peace with all things in heaven and earth. Nothing excluded. Did you not read that all things such as principalities and powers were made by him and for him yet my church thinks they are still fighting against these invisible forces when you were told by my beloved Paul that you are already seated high above them.
Not knowing the truth steals the peace from your hearts and when peace departs worry sets in and causes depression and sickness and disease and all matter of distress. I want you to know the truth so you will be free. You can’t have peace if you believe the lie that the world is going to get darker and darker. Please my beloved ones: Awaken to the truth and throw off the lies of the false teachers who fill your lives with fear about the future. Your future is glorious!
If you understood that through the cross of my Son we made peace with all things in heaven and earth then you could stop the war and rest. You are not fighting powerful spiritual forces but are only fighting against ignorance of the truth. Once you awaken to who you are and awaken to how powerful you are then you will have great peace.
Many of you think the Devil is still running loose killing all he can kill but he is not. You are born of the everlasting Spirit and the evil one cannot touch you. As you were told in scripture, “through death my Son destroyed the one who had the power of death that is the devil.”
I know I have told you these things before but will tell you again until you understand. So many people turn off a message they have heard before but what if you had done the same when learning to read? What if your teacher only told you the sound of the letters of the alphabet one time? Would you have learned to read? There is a reason for repetition and that is how you were taught to learn. There is a better way called revelation but I will meet you wherever you are in understanding.
Listen to me my beloved ones: You are in a new day! These are not what the scriptures called the perilous times. The terrible times you read about in scripture occurred at the end of the Old Covenant Age. Yes you have troubles in the world but it is not because of some great spiritual force. You have evil in the world because you have dark places in men’s hearts that they have refused to open to the light of truth. You are only victims to their evil doings because you don’t know who you are.
Once you know what day you are in your confidence and hope in the future will flourish. You are not building a kingdom that will stand awhile and then be destroyed by some event you call the Apocalypse. You are helping to build a kingdom that will stand forever and will grow and grow until it covers the whole earth. As my beloved Isaiah told you there will be no end to the increase of my Son’s government and of peace.
Have you ever read the Psalm you call Forty Six?
Come; see the works of the LORD,
Who brings devastation upon the earth.
He makes wars to cease throughout the earth;
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
He burns the shields in the fire.
“Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted over the earth.”
The LORD of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
My loved ones please learn what day you are in and prepare accordingly. Once this truth settles in your heart it will bring you great joy. Those of you with children will rejoice when you know that the future is glorious and not fearful! Set your hearts and minds upon peace and not war. You don’t have to fight against the corruption in the world. All you have to do is pray for the corrupted ones to awaken to truth.
So many of my beloved ones are trying to win with political might and worldly power when the only thing that will win is the truth. You can’t vote ignorance out of people’s hearts. You can’t legislate morals. If laws would make men holy then I wouldn’t have had to sacrifice my Son. You have to teach them the truth in love. You have to pray for their awakening to the truth of their reconciliation to Christ and to me and then they will change.
So please my loved ones. Set your minds on peace. You can’t set your mind on peace while preparing for war. Trust in me and my plan. The world is going to surrender to my kingdom but not by political will or war. It’s not by might, not by power but by my Spirit. Only my Spirit can reach into the deepest hearts and change them.
It’s one reason what you call “the world” isn’t drawn to the church. Most in the world think it is going to be ok, while those in the church are speaking doom and gloom and living in fear. Most in the world see the world progressing towards peace while most in my church are screaming “Let the world go to hell we just want out of here!” I love the world and sent my Son to save it. I wish my church felt the same.
My loved ones please become the people of peace! Your king is the Prince of Peace. Learn to live in peace and you do so by changing your thoughts. Find the lovely things and think on them. Set your minds on things above where peace already rules. I love you so very much and I want you to be free from fear. I want you to live in peace and joy and delight. So I ask you again: Please learn the way of peace!
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
