First Corinthians Chapter Two NLT
16. For, “Who can know the LORD’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
Romans Chapter Eight
6. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
Romans Chapter Twelve
2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Second Corinthians Chapter Ten
3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds ;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Hebrews Chapter Four
1. Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,
“As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest,’”
Although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” And again in this passage he said,
“They shall not enter my rest.”
Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Colossians Chapter Three
15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful
As I was praying this morning Father asked me a question. He asked “How long will my people allow this war against peace to continue? I pondered his question and I have learned by much experience that if I answer his questions too quickly I end up saying something stupid; So instead of a direct answer I asked him what he meant and he asked me if I would get up and write what he wanted to say. How could I say no? He is my everything!
So he began to speak and I listened and typed these words to share with you. Here are his words. He said:
My beloved ones, did you lose your minds? I know you didn’t literally lose them but did you forget where your minds are supposed to be parked? There is a great war going on in my people and the war is in the mind. The things of the world scream out for your attention and the more attention you give it the more you lose your focus and your peace. Pay attention to the thoughts going on in your mind and if your thoughts bring you peace then keep them and if they don’t then don’t tolerate them for one second.
As it is written: "I will keep at perfect peace the one whose mind is set upon me." Remember my loved ones, life in my Spirit and in my kingdom is not about what you do. It is about who you are and what you believe. The natural mind tells you that you must do something or the whole world will fall apart. The Spirit mind tells you that the war is over and you should enter in to the finished works of Christ the eternal King!
Those who believe have entered into rest and those who are not at rest are in unbelief. This doesn’t mean you hide on a mountain somewhere and not be moved. It means you are not tossed around by what those who are living in the lower mind tell you to do but you live by a voice within you that tells you to go this way or that way and not to worry about tomorrow. Someone very dear to me told you that you should not even take thought about tomorrow because I am already in tomorrow and all is well.
My lovely ones; I don’t want you stressed and worried like those who don’t know me. I want you at peace and joy knowing that no matter what comes your way you are my child and I will provide for you and take care of you.
I have told you over and over that the glorious future is at hand yet so many of my children live and die by the latest newscast. You are from above and not from below. See yourselves as you truly are seated in heavenly places far above all these things. You are light and are not in darkness so live in the light of the revelation that my plans for you are greater than you could imagine. Turn off the world and turn on heaven!
Those who live by the sword die by the sword. Think of this on a spiritual level. If you get out of the mind of peace and go down to the battle field of the world you will have a few victories but will also be battered. If you stay in the mind of peace and trust me then all your battles are over. There is only one battle left for you and that battle is the battle to stay in peace and rest and not give in to the natural instincts to go out and fight like the world fights with useless words and hate and fear.
You will find much more success if you will keep your minds set on me and things above and not let your thoughts get dragged down into the conflicts of the lower realm. Don’t see yourselves in the battle on the lower realm. See where you really are. You are hidden in me. When you pray don’t see yourselves on the lower plain but see yourselves sitting on the throne above and pray from that throne. Your authority is in Christ and you have power over the lower realm as long as you remain in peace and rest. Why would you cast down your crown at the throne and go down into the mud to soil your righteous garments by fighting in the mud?
My loved ones you can win this battle. When any thought comes that does not bring you peace then swat it like a mosquito and go back into rest. It’s from this elevated place that you will reign and you will change things on the lower plain by abiding in the upper plain.
My dearest ones, once again I tell you that there is coming a cleansing of the world. The love awakening that is coming will put an end to the darkness of the world. Those who will walk in love will remain and those who refuse to give up their darkness will be destroyed by the light of day. Remember that destroying evil is not the plan. Filling the world with light and love is the plan. Light doesn’t have to seek out darkness to destroy. Light is and the darkness can’t stay in its presence. Overcome evil with good.
The present darkness of the world will no longer be able to exist in the bright light that is coming from within my people. This is the truth of the gospel. Good news erases bad news. Light dispels darkness. Love drives fear and hate from existence. This will only happen if you will start by ending the war in your own mind.
My loved ones: Read these words written by our beloved Paul until you understand that the war is over everywhere except within you. The only strongholds left to pull down are the strongholds of doubt and unbelief in your minds. So let these words we gave to Paul sink in to you hearts and minds and be at peace.
Hear these words!

The only strongholds left to pull down are the strongholds of doubt and unbelief in your minds. So let these words we gave to Paul sink in to you hearts and minds and be at peace.
Hear these words!
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
My beloved Son made peace with all things in heaven and on earth by his blood. The ignorance of this fact is why so many in my church are fighting enemies who were destroyed long ago. The evil you see today is the evil that abides in the hearts of men and men are made in my image with great power and they use that power for darkness instead of light.
The fallen mind is powerful in the ways of darkness and when men’s’ minds become dark their hearts are darkened and this is why you are told this by our beloved Paul in his letter to the Galatians.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
You must accept the fact that Christ finished all and we dwell within you because we love you. How can you be at war if we are at peace within you? Keep your eyes focused on the light and you will be full of light. If you stare at the darkness you will lose your peace and will struggle.
So my loved ones; end the war within you. Accept the peace that passes all understanding. When worrisome thoughts come cast them down and return to peace. After a while they will stop coming. If you are afraid it’s because you forgot how much you are loved. You are adored by me and all of heaven. Adore each other as we adore you and be at peace. End the war against peace!
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.
