Colossians Chapter One:

New Living Translation



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.

This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.



    As I was praying today these verses bubbled up into my heart and I looked them up and studied them and when I did Father spoke to me and asked me to listen and write and publish his words for all to hear. Here are his words, he said:


    My loved ones, you must become immovable in the truth about who you are. So many of my children sway to and fro and are not steady in believing who you really are.

    You are holy, perfect, blameless, sanctified, justified and glorified. You are my children born in my exact image and this must be what your faith is built on. If you believe you are a sinner barely saved because of my grace then you will waver in your faith and never grow strong in it. If you know you are my child and perfect in my sight and chosen before I made the world and are on earth with a heavenly purpose, then your faith will move mountains. Most of you have faith in me but you have no faith in who I said you are.


    So why is this so important? Why do I keep telling you these things over and over and over? I do so because that is the way you learn. Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing. When you learned your alphabet your teacher didn’t just tell you once and you knew it. You rehearsed it over and over and over. This is what true meditation is. You take the truth I told you about being perfect and blameless and holy and you rehearse it in your heart over and over and over until it becomes a part of you.


    It’s the same way my first born learned. He was taught the scriptures when young and told that he was the promised one to come. He heard it over and over and over and then one day I couldn’t contain my joy any longer and I had to shout out that he is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased! 


    As this became truth in his life he grew in faith and power just as you will. He started out with things like healing Peter’s mother in law of fever and before long he was curing leprosy, raising the dead and allowing the virtue within him to heal multitudes. 

    Just as with my firstborn it all starts by believing who you are. I am just as pleased in you. I blessed you with all blessings in heavenly places. In great joy I shouted your names out all over heaven and spoke great and wonderful things about you!


    Think of it this way. The Pharisees believed in me. Most of what they believed was wrong but they believed. Yet they didn’t change the world. They even wanted my Son dead because he called me Father and not God. They knew that the child is the same as the parent and if he called himself my child he was saying he was my equal. This is what it so hard for most of my children to believe even though they see their own children as their equals they don’t see the same between themselves and me. Do you remember what Paul told you in his letter to the Philippians? “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ. Who counted it not robbery to be equal with God.”


    Having faith in me doesn’t work until you have faith in you also. Until you believe that you are the sent ones and you are the holy ones who came from me into the world then you will struggle.

    The whole universe is waiting for the revealing of the Sons of God; not the servants of God. All of creation is groaning and travailing, waiting on you all to wake up and take your places in charge of all that I created. Do you remember it is written that the heavens are the LORD’S but the earth he has given into the hands of the sons of men? All of creation is like a ship with no one at the wheel. The man I put at the wheel doesn’t know it’s his place to drive. I get blamed for the chaos in the world when man is supposed to be tending the garden called earth.


    My loved ones, you must decide to believe what I said about you. You were chosen long before I made the world. You are the ones who will put things in order and change the whole world. I told my firstborn to sit at my right hand until I make the earth his footstool. It is not his place to put the earth in order. It is yours.


    So many in my church believe that it is going to be worse and worse until my firstborn returns and puts everything in order but this is not the plan and not what was written. Some even believe that I will take the church away just when the world needs it the most and allow all of civilization to crumble and the earth to burn.


    Does that sound like love? Just rapture me out of here and let the world go to hell? Were you not told to love your neighbor as yourself? Would I send my firstborn into the world to pour out his life and blood on the earth only to turn around and give it to his enemies? Once again false religion has fooled my children into believing that I love them and hate the ones who don’t know me yet. Did they forget that no one knew me when I sent my Son into the world to save it?


    Sadly some of my children cheer when bad things happen and say “that’s the sign of the times.” Instead of being ready to heal and deliver the ones who need saving they instead cheer for their destruction thinking this somehow speeds up their own escape.


    This false teaching has caused many to go astray. Instead of building for a glorious future they are planning for a great escape. I have a plan for this world and it is a glorious plan that my firstborn told you about. “In earth as in heaven.” That is the plan. There is no other. I said subdue the earth not abandon it.


    I want you all to awaken to who you are and stand strong in the faith that you are holy and blameless as you stand in my presence without a single fault. As our beloved Paul told you so you must do. You must continue to believe in this truth and stand strong in it.


    Don’t let so called religion tell you about your faults and your shortcomings. That is a lie. Know who you are. Believe in who you are. Live in who you are. Anyone who tells you that you are less than my firstborn is lying to you. As he is so are you in this world. You are not step children. You are born of my Spirit. You are life of my life. No more doubt about who you are. Let go of the lies and stand strong in the truth!



    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

The Truth About You

Finding His Will

Matthew Chapter Eight

5. When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him, “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.”

Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”

But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!



Acts Chapter Thirteen

1. Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.



Ephesians Chapter One

11. In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.





    As I was praying today these verses spoke to me. I was thinking about them when Father spoke to me and asked me to listen and write and publish his words for all to hear. Here are his words, he said:



    My loved ones, I have a plan and I have a will and I work all things after the plan that I made. Sometimes you don’t understand my will and my plan so you get discouraged when things don’t go as you want them to. I don’t want you to be discouraged. I want you to be full of joy.


    My children, so many of you are trying so hard to be or do things you were not called to do. I have a plan for each of you and it is not a one size fits all plan. All of you share a great inheritance and all share in my great love but some are forgetting that each individual is part of the whole body. We have so many fingers trying to be eyes and so many hands trying to be mouths and this is why you fail and become discouraged. I have a glorious plan for each of you and only need you to come to me to get your instructions.


    The centurion had the greatest faith of anyone in Israel because he understood that my beloved Son was under authority and had authority. He understood that whatever he said would be so. He told one to go and he went. He told one to come and he came. As you remember later my Son told you that all authority in heaven and earth was given unto him.


    It was the same way at Antioch. There were many gifted teachers and prophets but only Paul and Barnabas were sent out. The others remained and found their calling where they were or were sent out later.

    My Son told you that he only did what he saw me doing. It is the same with you. Spend time with me in fellowship and you will be shown the way to go and the thing to do. All are not apostles. And even though all can prophesy not all are called to be prophets. All are not teachers. All are not evangelists. Yet as Paul told you there is a better way called love to where you understand your completeness and walk in the fullness of Christ. All of the gifts listed and more will work through you as you realize how complete you are and how much you are loved. Ask and I'll show you. 


    All that you need to know is on the inside of you where I dwell. I write my laws on your heart and on your mind. Not on tables of stone or sheets of paper. I will tell you where you fit in to my perfect plan if you will come into the secret place within and listen.


    My scriptures are holy and are written for your benefit but not all things written are your specific instructions. I hear so many say you should do everything written in the book. This is not the case. My Son told disciples to go get a donkey. Do you have a donkey? He told them to follow the man with the pitcher of water. Do you know the man with the water? Have you caught the fish with the gold coin? These were specific instructions given to specific people at specific times.


    What I am saying my loved ones is your calling is not generic. Each of you is vitally important to my plan and each one of you has works that I ordained for you to walk in. This was true even of my firstborn. He healed the man at the pool but didn’t heal them all. The man who was laid at the gate had been crippled for many years but was not healed until Peter and John came by. And yet there is more to understand. When you understand what day you are in and what was already done things will come together for you perfectly.

    My loved ones, many things you read in your bible pertained to the people and the times they lived in. For example the letters Paul wrote to the Corinthians were in response to letters they had written to him them for the days they lived in. The Revelation of John was written to seven specific churches of their day. Over and over he was told that the time of these events was at hand at their time and yet most of my children believe it is pushed thousands of years into the future.


    If this were the case what good would it have been to the ones it was written to? Why make seven copies to send to seven churches if it were only for those far off? Daniel was told to seal up his book because it was distant future. This turned out to be 490 years. "Distant future" was 490 years but "at hand" is 2000 years and counting? What kind of math is that? John saw the book unsealed and was told not to seal it up for the time was "at hand."  

    Once again what comfort would the seven churches have had if they knew it did not pertain to them but was for people thousands of years in the future? It is a glorious book about the revelation of my glorious Son but now people think it is a scary end of the world burn it all down book. They completely miss the spiritual meaning behind the words. The letter kills but the Spirit gives life. You can learn from all things written but not all things written are your specific instructions.


    This will end the frustration for many of you. So called Religion has pushed you to do things and be people you are not called to be. They have a one size fits all mentality and miss the fact that our relationship is much more intimate than that. Don’t let others push you into doing things you were not told to do by me.


    Faith comes by hearing and hearing by my word. Not my written word but my voice in your heart. Many atheists know the bible much better than most of my children but they don’t have faith. They know every verse but don't believe I exist. So the written word only brings faith when I reveal it to you in your spirit.


    This is why so many are discouraged. They try to make things happen by faith in instructions I gave to others. Suppose you go to a farm nearby and tell the farmer to give you his donkey because I have need of him. He may have you arrested or even shoot you. My children command things to happen and when it doesn’t happen they are broken. When I speak into your heart and tell you to do something the faith to accomplish it will come. Peter stepped out of the boat and began walking on water because my Son told him to come. The others didn’t get out of the boat. Not because of fear but because they weren’t told to come. Had my son told them all to come they all would have come.


    Peter was sent to the Jews and Paul to the gentiles. When Paul tried to go to the Jews it didn't go well for him. I will lead you where you need to go and show you what to do or I may not send you at all and will bring the people you need to help right to where you are. All of my works were finished from the foundation of the world and I handed them out by the counsel of my will. You will not miss out on what you were ordained to do.

    My plan hasn’t changed. I want all to walk in perfect health and prosperity but my church is living by examples given two thousand years ago and not living from my living voice. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from my mouth. Not every word written on paper. 


    For example: Suppose you pray for someone who often gets sick to be healed and time and time again they get healed only to get sick again of something else. But what if you helped them get the revelation that by my Son’s stripes they were already made whole? Then you would never have to lay hands on them again. They would live in the perfect truth and never have to suffer again. 

    Holy Spirit came to lead you into all truth and show you things to come. Spirit reveals that you don't need healing because you already were healed. Spirit reveals that you are one with me and I am not sick. You are not made free by the laying on of hands. You are made free by knowing the truth that makes you free. These are things you will only hear in the secret place and not find by following a religious script.


    So my loved ones enter into my rest and listen for my voice. My kingdom is within you because I am in you. As he is so are you in the world. When you awaken to the truth of who you are, you will be who I made you to be. When this happens all that you need to do will happen naturally. You will not strive in works but will abound in good fruit. Be fruitful and multiply my dear ones!


    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

John Chapter Three

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


John Chapter One

29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.


John Chapter Twelve

32. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw “all people” to myself.” Now He was saying this to indicate what kind of death He was going to die.


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 praying today I heard Father speak and He said “I still do!” I asked; still do what your majesty? He said” I still love the world that I sent my Son to save. I didn’t send him to condemn but to save those whom were confused and wandering like sheep without a shepherd.” Then He asked me to listen and write and publish his words. Here are his words, he said:


    My loved ones there is only one purpose in heaven and in earth and that purpose is love. I am love and my whole being is a burning unquenchable fire of passion towards each and every one of my children. So who are my children? Do you remember what our beloved Paul told you? There is one God who is the father of "all" who is above "all" and through "all" and in you "all!"


    In the early days of the church my loved ones went about spreading the great news of reconciliation telling others of how much they were loved and telling them that their sins were taken away at the cross and they were free to come home with no shame. This is the true message of the gospel but today’s church is more about correcting morals than loving those who are broken. The good news is that this is about to change.


    Morality has fallen apart because people don’t know who they are and don’t know how much they are loved. Instead of teaching the truth those who should be spreading love are spreading hate and division. They forgot that my Son took away the sins of the world. Remember what I said to Peter? Don’t call unclean that which I have already cleansed. This was before he went to Cornelius’ house. This was before Holy Spirit came upon those at his house.


    Think of it this way. Suppose that in your town there is a street where all the lamps have lost connection and no longer shine. The streets are dark and scary. Every Sunday your pastor preaches against the darkness. You gather your friends and curse the darkness and you march against the darkness and you have fund raisers to change legislation to outlaw the darkness but no one realizes that all you must do to stop the darkness is restore the connection and repair the lights. The lights don’t know that they are broken because they are disconnected from their power source. This is what the true gospel does. It restores the connection and restores the lights.


    My loved ones soon all these things will change. Many in my church are seeing the truth of my love and it’s changing their lives. They understand broken people do broken things and only the truth of the gospel can fix them. As it is written “all sin is unbelief.” Not believing the truth about who they are leaves people vulnerable to fall into the dark places of thought and they end up in a dark place in their minds. They are confused and don’t know that they are children of God and they lose their way.


    You can’t mandate or legislate morality and that is why the prisons are full. More laws and more punishment are not the answer. Love is the answer. Truth is the answer. Telling people the absolute truth of their divine heritage is the answer to their problems. Identity changes everything. If they knew their true identity they would not be confused about who they are.


    My lovely ones do you remember that my Son told you that if you clean the inside of the container the outside will be clean? Trying to clean people from the outside is useless. You must get to the heart of the matter which is the ignorance of who they are? Once people know they are my offspring and are loved beyond their wildest dreams then the living water inside will take care of all the outwardly problems.


    My church cries out for the power of the early church but they don’t preach the message the early church preached. My Son sent out disciples into every town and told them to heal all the sick within and then preach the gospel. They didn’t ask them to believe and then be healed. They showed them my loving kindness and allowed them to respond to the act of love they had experienced.


    Think of my Son when he encountered anyone who was trapped in sin. He never condemned. He set them free by the love he had for them. He told the woman who was about to be stoned to death for adultery that her sins were forgiven and go and sin no more. She didn’t ask for forgiveness. It was given before she asked. Knowing she was loved and forgiven broke the power of sin in her life.


    It’s the same with the crippled man. He was told your sins are forgiven take up your bed and walk. Knowing he was forgiven broke the power of sickness in his life and set him free. The same guilt keeps many crippled in mind and body today. What if they knew they were already forgiven? What if those who call themselves the church didn’t tell them every day that they are guilty and deserve what they are suffering? What if instead they were told that they are beloved, precious children of God?


    The way to set people free is to proclaim to them that they are already free. I was in Christ on the cross reconciling the whole world unto myself, not counting men’s sins against them. Religion has told people that I am mean and angry and can’t wait to throw people into a burning fire. Those who say such things are more confused than the people they are judging. I am love and love does what love is. I am reaching out to each and every person to let them know they are loved and all that is needed is to believe that I set them free already and come home like the prodigal son. Knowing who you are changes what you do.


    My Son is the lamb that took away the sins of the whole world and if you are judging people because of their sin then you are the one in unbelief and don’t understand the power of my Son’s crucifixion and resurrection. Love is the eternal cure for sin. Hate never fixed anything.


    So what I am saying my loved ones is know who you are and how much you are loved. Come to know my love that passes well beyond anything you could ever dream of and you will be filled with my fullness. The river of living water within you will overflow and cure everything in your world and in the world of those around you.


    It is written that my son is the light that lights “every man” who comes into the world. The gospel message is not judgment and doom but the revealing that the spark of love is within every person. You don’t have to bring them to church or to some altar. You just need to show them the life that is already in them. Every person alive has a spirit and I am the father of all spirits.


    Remember the one called Saul? He was out persecuting the church but I met him on a road and showed him the light of who I am and who he is. He left everything he believed behind him and even changed his name. He said that I revealed my Son “in him” and that changed his life. He quickly realized that I was always in him and he didn’t know it.


    You are all one and you can’t persecute another without harming yourself. I don’t mean one as in there is only one person. I mean one in the sense that you are all family. I am the one God and the father of you all. My firstborn that you call Jesus was the firstborn among many brethren. Do you remember what John saw in his revelation? A great multitude standing before the throne that no one could count from every tribe and nation and every tongue. These are my children. Each of you is an individual but each of you is part of one. My firstborn was an individual but he proclaimed that he and I are one. 

    You are all my children. You are not me but you are no less than me. A a child is no more or less than their father. The Father is greater because he was first and the child did not produce himself but was the offspring of the Father. 


    This is why you were told to know no man after the flesh for you are all spirit of my spirit. Just because one of my children forgot who they are and choose to live in the pigpen doesn’t mean they are not my children. The part of you that is spirit is eternal. At the center of each of you is the spirit that is born of incorruptible seed and is not touched by your mistakes and failures but remains holy forever. So look for me in every person: Even the ones who have lost their way. Remind them of who they are and lead them to the truth that has always been true about them. They are beloved children who have forgotten who they are and where they came from.


    BE READY! The gospel of love is about to sweep the world like wildfire and when the world is swept all will know me from the least to the greatest. You are entering the age of love and healing and the whole world will be healed as they learn the truth that they are already complete. Tell each and every one you meet that I adore them. Tell them their sins were forgiven and broken at the cross. Tell them that their sickness and disease was taken away by my beloved Son. Tell them they are free already and only need to believe it to leave their horrors behind them.


    Sickness, disease, poverty, racism, hate and violence will become things you read about in history books and not things that happen every day. I put man in the earth to turn the earth into heaven and that is in progress.


    My plan hasn’t changed. I sent my first born into the world to proclaim my goodness and so I send each of you also. You are the light of the world and the city set on a hill. Shine brightly until the earth is filled with my glory and that glory shines in every heart. Why will this happen you ask? It will happen because “I still do!”


    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
