First Kings Chapter Nineteen

11. Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”



Psalm Forty Six

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


Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul;

He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me;

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.


Isaiah Chapter Fifty Five

12. “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.


Philippians Chapter Four

4. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.



    I hear so many who are troubled by the times we live in and worrying about every event going on in the world. I feel for them because I remember what it was like to live in fear. So as I was praying for them today all these verses came to me and I looked them up and studied them awhile and I asked Father what he was trying to say. He spoke to me and said: Please help me lead my people back into peace! Then he asked me to listen and write and publish these words for all his beloved to hear. Here are his words He said:



    My little ones, why all the anxiety? Why all the worry? Have you forgotten that I am on the throne and my beloved Son is with me? Have you not understood that this throne is within you? So many of my children are running to and fro trying to figure out what is happening. They are tuned in to every broadcast of the news and seeking and searching and working themselves into frenzy and this leaves little time for resting in my restoring presence.


    My little ones, you are so worried about the events in the world that you miss the events in the Spirit. I have asked you over and over to set your mind on things above but you are still like a deer in headlights looking at the calamity the fear mongers are showing you. All of this leads to anxiety and depression and despair and is not helping you.


    My loved ones, I lead you beside still waters so you can rest. I lead you into green pastures so you can feed but if you won’t lie down and rest then I can’t help you. You were told that if you truly believe you will enter into rest, not into worry.


    So many of you go from this so called prophet to the next trying to figure out your next move and from this teacher to that teacher trying to find a formula that works for you. This is nonsense. Rest in me and let me teach you. You have the greatest teacher living inside you. You were told that when my Spirit comes then you would be led into all truth and would be shown things to come. Wouldn't it be better to get the undiluted truth from me?


    Trust the teacher within. You need no man to teach you for you have the anointing that teaches you all things. Yes I placed teachers in the body but they don’t replace the one living inside you. You must learn to be still and rest and let me take away all this anxiety and fear.


    Do you remember that you were told in scripture that he who fears is not made perfect in love? So all you need to do to drive fear from your lives is surrender to my perfect love and let me do the rest.


    Just as with Elijah I’m not in the fire or the wind or the earthquake. I am in the still small voice asking you as I did him: What are you doing here? Why are you dwelling in a cave called worry and not living in the light of my love? Will you learn to trust me? Do you think I brought you this far just to let you down? My loved ones, you know my love for you will sustain you through whatever comes. So why do you worry when you can rest?


    My Son is the fulfillment of all things. He is the Sabbath rest that was spoken of throughout scripture. You are in him and he is in you and it’s time to rejoice and trust and not time to fret and worry. If you will just rejoice and let your gentleness be known then my peace that is beyond comprehension shall lead you where you should go. As you were told in the scriptures you will go out in joy and shall be led forth in peace and as you go in joy and peace the mountains will break forth into singing.


    My loved ones, please, once again I ask of you. Take your eyes off the world and come into the secret place and rest in me. You shall find me when you seek me with your whole heart and not when you seek me with your web browser. If I choose to teach you through another you will be led to them in peace and not from searching frantically to find someone who knows what is going on.


    Any true teacher will tell you to ask the teacher inside before you ask them. Any true teacher will teach you how little you need them and how much you need the one who lives within you. You have all you need but the truth cannot be accessed from without. Revelation comes from within.


    My lovely, loved ones; please hear me. Turn off the world and turn on the eyes of your heart. Meditate on things that are lovely and pure and turn off the fear. Set your minds continually on things above. The secret place is always available within you but you must choose to abide in him.


    My Son told you that if you abide in me and my words abide in you then you can ask what you will and it will be done unto you. My Son is the Prince of Peace. Abiding in him is abiding in peace.


    The reason you don’t get your prayers answered is because you are not abiding in peace when you ask. You were told to come into the secret place and shut the door. Which means shut the world out and then what you pray in secret will be done. Most of my children don’t pray this way. They beg and cry for help with both eyes on the world or on their problems. If you will come inside and rest with me and see only me then things will get better. Take your eyes off the world and look into the eyes of the one who created the heavens and earth. I love you too much to leave you living in desperation. I AM Peace! I AM Life! I AM Light! I Am Love! Yet I find so many choosing to dwell in fear. So I ask you: What are you doing here?



    These are 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

You Are The Plan

John Chapter Fifteen

16. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.


Ephesians Chapter One

3. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.

God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ; everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.



Ephesians Chapter Three

1. When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles. As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.

And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus. By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News.



    As I was praying today for each of you I asked Father what would he like for me to share with you? I know many of you are facing troubling situations and I pray for you always. As I continued to pray He began to speak and I began to write it down. Here are his words to you:


    Beloved, beloved, beloved! Let that sink in to the bottom of your heart! Let it bring peace to your mind and give you strength. You are loved, you have always been loved and you will always be loved.


    My loved ones don’t fear the events going on in the world. Yes there is shifting and changing going on and the reason so many of you are afraid is because you are accustomed to the normal conditions of the world and are afraid that what is coming is worse. I hear many of you pray and say “I wish things would get back to normal.” Going back to normal would be like those who were in the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land going back to Egypt! This is not going to happen. I don’t want you living in normal. I want you living in super abundance in all things! I don’t want your lives to be tolerable. I want your lives to be filled with years of unimaginable joy!


    My loved ones please consider the plan. I knew the end from the beginning. I knew you and chose you before the world began. You didn’t choose me. You exist because there is a place in my heart where only you fit. I didn’t form you out of dust. You are made of me. Adam was made from dust but those who are born in the kingdom were born “in Christ” Christ is the glory of God so you are born of glory! You were born from above and not below. You are not trying to find your place in Adam but are discovering your place in Christ and in me!


    You are spirit of my Spirit. As you were told in scripture that which is born of Spirit is Spirit! The real you lives in a temple called a body but the temple is holy because I live in it. It is not holy because of what you do but is holy because of who you are.


    My dearest ones, you are not trying to recover what you lost in a fall when Adam sinned. You are trying to discover the holiness you have always been since you were birthed by my Spirit before the world began. In Adam all died but in Christ all live. It’s time to stop trying to become who you already are. You were in Christ before the world began and you are in him now!


    So my loved ones; let go of the fear. There is a plan for you and for the world and that plan as I have told you many times before is “on earth as it is in heaven!” It is time to have heaven in your health, heaven in your relationships, heaven in your finances, and heaven in all that you experience. My Son came to save the world and not to destroy it. Stop listening to those who would make you afraid. 

    If perfect loves casts out all fear then those who sell you fear are not walking in love. You were instructed by my Son to have no worry about tomorrow about what you will eat, drink, wear or live but the fearmongers tell you to worry about all these things. 


    Rejoice my beloved ones, for the plan is going according to schedule for you. All these things that are happening in the world are the crumbling of the last wall of a fallen empire. My kingdom is advancing and my people are awakening. The days ahead are the greatest of all!


    I am revealing the true identity of my children. Once the revelation of who you are is fully come then the world will not stand a chance and you will extinguish all remaining darkness by the light of your glorious love. You will understand that the people may be in darkness but the people are not the darkness. 


    You will go forth in love proclaiming the goodness of my Son and sharing his love with all. You will rid the earth of all sickness and disease because you will love all those who are afflicted regardless of how they became that way. You will go out in loving mercy and not in judgment because the church of condemnation that you have all grown up with will be replaced with the loving church that sees all people as they are. Just because they are entangled doesn’t mean they are not my children. There will be no more condemnation and no separation and the earth will dance with the new life of the living gospel.


    You will understand the ministry of reconciliation spoken of by my beloved Paul. You will understand that when my Son was lifted up on that cross he drew all mankind unto himself. He left no one out. If one died for all then all were dead! He completely dealt with the sins of the whole world by the sacrifice of himself. 

    You will finally understand that the reason people sin is because they forgot that they were holy, righteous beings and when that memory is restored there will be no more darkness. This is the true gospel. The seed that started as the smallest in the garden with my Son and a handful of disciples will grow into the biggest tree in the garden.


    This is a great plan that I made before the world began. You are the plan and soon you will understand all things. So put away fear and trust the plan. Listen to these words from my beloved prophet Isaiah:


I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

    My beloved ones; love each other and be at peace!



    These were the words He spoke to me at this moment.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

Hope Is A Person!

Romans Chapter Five

1. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.



Romans Chapter Fifteen

13. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.


Proverbs Chapter Thirteen

12. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.


Hebrews Chapter Six

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.


First Timothy Chapter Four

10. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

    As I was talking to a friend the other day I heard them say “I have given up hope and don’t believe things will get better.” I felt heartbroken for them and as I was asking Father what I should pray for them He told me to pray that they would remember that hope is a person. He then reminded me of the scriptures above and as I was praying he asked me to write down his words and share them with all his beloved ones. So here are his words. He said:



    My loved ones, it is time to renew your hope. Many are tired and afraid because their hope is based on situations and not anchored in heaven in the person who loves you the most. Things do not change because you hope they will. You set your hope in and upon my Son and then things change. If you set your love upon the one who loves you then you will understand that all things work together for your good. I can take even the darkest and most challenging situation you ever endured and turn it in to a jewel in your righteous crown.


    My loved ones don’t put your trust and hope in money or politics or military force but put your hope in the one person who never changes.


    Those who would rule over you love to steal your hope. Just when you think you have seen the end of one calamity they scare you with another. Every day it’s something new. Another disease, an asteroid from heaven or fires or floods and the sad thing is those who escape the prison called media hear the same in the pulpit. They understand how things work and they steal your hope on purpose. They know that fear makes you susceptible to whatever they are selling you. It’s time to renew your hope and let all of that nonsense go.


    When the Hebrew children were about to be thrown into the fiery furnace they didn’t fear and beg for their lives. They told those who would destroy them that I would deliver them and even if I didn’t they weren’t going to bow down in fear. If you have surrendered your lives to my perfect love for you then all the fear would cease.


    My loved ones; if you will set your minds on things above and see them as more important than anything happening on the earth, then your hope will abound. Remember that the heavenly places are in Christ and Christ is in you! 

    If you really believed it was no longer you that lives but Christ living in you would you be afraid? If you believed the scripture that says that he that is joined to me is “one” Spirit would you be afraid? If you understood when my Son told you that “no one” could pluck you out of my hand would you be hopeful or hopeless? If you understood when our beloved Paul told you that nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from my love would you be hopeful or hopeless?


    My little ones: Would you please do me a favor? Will you believe the gospel? Do you remember what is written in the Gospel you call Matthew where the prophecy of my beloved Isaiah was repeated?


“Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen.

He is my Beloved, who pleases me.

I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.

He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public.

He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle.

Finally he will cause justice to be victorious. And his name will be the hope of all the world.”


    So my loved ones, rest in me and reset your hope in my Son and not in circumstances. Circumstances change but here is what I said about my Son in the letter that you call Hebrews.

But of the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”

And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same,
and your years will have no end.”


    This is where your hope belongs. Not in events or political movements. If your hope is in the one who has no end then your hope will not end. Once you understand that hope is a person then you will never be hopeless again. My Son is the hope and the delight of the nations!


    My loved ones; encourage each other and care deeply for each other as we care for you. Take our lively hope and proclaim it to the world. The gospel is a glorious message of a loving Father restoring all of his prodigal children into a loving home filled with music and dancing. On earth as in heaven is the plan. Anything else is a lie! Remember my loved ones: Hope is a person! Hope in him!

    

    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
