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.

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."

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.

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
