First John Chapter Three

2. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.


Titus Chapter Two

11. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,


Hebrews Chapter Twelve

1. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.



    As I was praying today these verses came to me and as usual I knew Father was trying to teach me something so I read them over and over until he began speaking to me and asked me to write down his words and share them with you all. He said.


    My beloved ones, you are so dear to me and are really part of me and soon you will understand this. I am your mirror. My Son told you that he and I are one. As long as you look at yourselves you will never understand this concept. You have to set your eyes upon me and my Son and my Spirit to understand these things. My Son told the one you call Phillip that if you have seen me you have seen my Father. We are completely one. You are completely one with me also but will never understand who you truly are until you stop looking at yourselves and look at me.


    You are changed from image to image and glory to glory as you behold your perfection in this mirror called “me” and will understand who you are by observing your true self as you are in me.


    My loved ones, the perfect law of liberty reveals to you your true identity. You can’t look at the strange mirrors the world tries to get you to stare into. The fallen imagination would try to get you to compare yourselves to others and distort the true image of who you are. You were made in my likeness and my image and how I long for the days when you truly believe it.


    As you take your eyes off the world and take your eyes off of yourselves and stare into the glory from whom you were born, you will see who you are. You are not who the world says you are. You are not who false religion tells you that you are. You are the children of God.


    Here is the good news. The truth is that as my Son is so are you in the world. You are holy and blameless and perfect in my eyes. You are seated in heavenly places above all and are blessed with every blessing. The only thing you need to do is believe this truth.


    Think of it this way. Suppose you were the King’s child but were stolen as a child and grew up believing that you were the children of the ones who stole you. All the time you have the inheritance of the King and you have the King’s name but you live as a child of thieves and robbers. Did the truth about you change? Were you not always the King’s child even though you didn’t believe it? This is what false religion has done to you. They kidnapped your belief system and programmed your mind to believe the lie. So what happens when you no longer believe the lie? What happens when you know for sure you are the child of the King?

    
    My loved ones the great spiritual awakening is upon you. You are no longer willing to live as fallen ones when you know in your heart you are royalty. Your faith in this truth will grow and grow until it becomes more real than the lies you lived in and you find true freedom in the truth that you are my children.


    Those who have ruled over you for generations will no longer be able to sustain the lie and the system of lies will collapse as truth arises. The greatest days of your lives lie ahead and not behind you. The days when you know who you are and  will live just like you were told in the letter to the Philippians. You are not robbing me to call yourselves my equal. You will understand that you are God’s from God and use your power and position to serve each other in love just as my Son did. He and I are one yet he humbled himself and took on the form of a servant.


    It will be the same with you. As you awaken to unlimited power and might you will use this power to change the world until everything on earth looks like heaven. 

    So how do you awaken to this truth of your identity and know who you are? You do so by looking into the face of the one who loves you: The one who birthed you. You are sprit from my spirit. As you look at me you discover you. 

    So set your eyes and your mind and all your thoughts upon me and everything that has attached itself to you that is not like me will fall away. Turn your eyes away from the world and from yourself and look at me. I AM your mirror!


    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

Enemy Number One

    An audio version of this message will soon be available at the link below:

Genesis Chapter Three

8. When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the LORD God among the trees. Then the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”

He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”



First John Chapter Four

16. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first.



    As I was praying today these verses came to me. So I looked them up and studied them and as I did Father spoke to me and said: “Enemy number one!” I asked him what he meant and he began to teach and I began to write and here are his words. He said:



    My loved one: Write these words and share them with my beloved ones. I so long for the day when you all surrender to perfect love and have no more fear.


    Fear is your biggest enemy. Most believe you have an enemy you call the devil or the Satan. But this one was defeated and ruined long ago. Do you remember what was written of my Son? “For this cause was the Son of God manifested; that he might destroy the works of the devil? Do you think my Son failed? Are you not seated with me in heavenly places far above all principalities and rulers? If you are in me then is there anyone above you or anyone who can harm you?


    My loved one fear is your biggest enemy. It was the same in the beginning. Adam was afraid so he hid. Because false religion keeps you bound to believing you are full of sin and evil you face the same obstacles. If you truly knew of your perfect innocence and holiness you would never be afraid again. You are complete in my Son and you lack nothing but the understanding of who you are and how much you are loved.


    My loved ones: There is only one antidote to fear and that is love. As mighty as faith is it can’t remove fear. As powerful as hope is it can’t remove fear. There is only one thing that is the greatest and that is love. My perfect love will drive all fear out of your lives and make you free if you will only surrender to the love that I am to you. Remember I AM LOVE!


    Think of it this way. If you could see yourself sitting in my lap would you be afraid of the bills you face, or the sickness you face or even death?


    Now imagine that you are not just sitting in my lap but you one with me. He who is joined to the Lord is “one Spirit.” We are not two. We are one. One God made of Father, Spirit and Sons and daughters inseparable by any power. There is neither Jew nor gentile, male or female, bond or free. You are all “one” in my Son and in me. Once you awaken you will understand that you are just as much part of me as I am of you. This can only be revealed by allowing my love to drive all fear from your mind and life.


    Fear makes you think in terms of limitations. Love only knows abundance. Fear says “I may lose all my money and be poor.” Love says “my father loves me and will provide all I need no matter what.” Love understands there is no limit to supply.


    Do you remember what is written in the book you call Job? He said “what I greatly feared has come upon me and what I dreaded came true.” Fear is faith in reverse. Just as faith brings you wonderful things, fear brings you bad things. This is why you are told over and over to never fear. I didn't tell you not to be afraid to scold you but to protect you. 


    Here is the tricky part. You can’t use your faith to overcome fear. Only love overcomes fear. You can confess a thousand times that you are not afraid and it will not stop you from being afraid. The only answer is to surrender to love and the fear will disappear.


    Fear says “I may lose all that I have” but love says “even if I lose everything my loving Father will replace it with better.” Fear says “I may get sick and be in great pain” but love says “I will not fear because my Father loves me and he is my health.”


    So when there is no fear left nothing bad comes upon you because you did not empower it by being afraid. As you were told by our beloved on whom you call John fear has to do with torment or punishment. The false religion most of you grew up on told you that I was vengeful and you would be punished for every mistake but that is not the truth. If love keeps no record of wrong as you were told by our beloved Paul then what are you to be punished for? As you were told in his letter to the Corinthians that I was in my Son the Christ on the cross reconciling the whole world to myself and “NOT” counting men’s sins against them so who can accuse you?


    My loved ones, my Son completed a perfect work. He took away not only your sin but the sins of the whole world. We were not counting your sins against you but you needed somewhere to rest your guilty conscience so we took the punishment that the law demanded so you could feel and know that you are innocent. Once you realize your innocence you will not feel deserving of punishment or of the bad things that happen to people. This will help you to understand just how much you are loved and will disable fear from affecting you. If you think bad things are part of your punishment then you will accept them and this is wrong. Every correction I ever do is restorative and not punitive.


    So here is the summation of what I am telling you. Your sins were forgiven never to be mentioned again. The enemy you called the Devil was destroyed long ago. As you were told in the first epistle of John that you were born of incorruptible seed and the evil one cannot touch you. You are holy and blameless in my sight and are loved beyond understanding. So there is nothing to fear.


    So please my beloved ones. Understand that you are the beloved and meditate on my love until fear has no place in you. No matter what you face there is only one thing that will not fail and that is my love. So rejoice in my love and all fear will be removed from your life.


    This is the end of the words he gave me to share with you today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

You Are Amazing Grace

     A few years ago I wanted to write a song in the style of the old hymns I grew up singing in church. So I wrote this song called Your Are Amazing Grace! There is a link to it below if you would like to listen. Once again thanks to all of you for sharing this journey called life with me. I love you each and every one and pray for you daily. Just click on the title below and it should open for you.

You Are Amazing Grace!

Here are the lyrics:

verse one

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound

your voice from up above.

My soul was lost in darkest night,

when you revealed your love.

chorus

You are amazing grace! 

You are my dream come true.

You rescued me, you care for me

and I'm in love with you.

Yes I'm in love with you.

verse two

My life was filled with sin and shame

you loved me anyway.

You led me to your rugged cross

and washed my sins away!

verse three

You washed me in your precious blood,

your Spirit filled my heart.

My lips can't help but sing your praise

How wonderful you are!
