Face to Face

     While preparing for a meeting last week I was hiding in my mobile prayer closet worshiping and listening and Father's voice came to me and said the following:

     My son; write these things to deliver to my beloved, to the joy of my life to my amazing children who have left all to come to me outside the camp. Those who are tired of religion and church as usual. Those who are looking for me and not looking for another program. This is the day of visitation and great exploration of the heavenly realm.

     When a child is young the parents run to their room every time they cry or call or sometimes just to check on them. Also when the child is in trouble or afraid they run to their parents for comfort and healing. As a child gets older they tend to pull away from the parents and hide in their own surroundings. The parent is still longing for fellowship with the child but instead of coming to the child’s room, they call the child into their world. As the child is growing it’s time to put away the toys and the baby bed and time to learn to live in the parent’s realm.

     This is what has happened to many of you. Do you wonder where my presence went in your meetings and why the glory you once felt when you worshiped is not there anymore? Remember the presence so strong you could barely stand? Remember the joy and the excitement? Where did these things go?

     I have not forsaken you and I’m not angry with you. It’s time for you to learn to come to my room. You each know in your hearts you want more than just church as usual. Aren't you all really bored with that game? Just another program, just another meeting where the same things you have been over for years and years gets reprogrammed and repackaged and yawn…..

     Aren't you ready for some excitement? Aren't you ready for some adventure with your Father? Do you want to see what heaven is like? Do you want to go on vacation with your Father into realms you have never seen?

     I am calling you my beloved into a face to face relationship with me. Don’t worry and  don't tune me out now. There will be scriptures backing this up when I’m done.

     I know that the pursuit of knowledge has many of you trapped in just one book of my existence. Yes it is a wonderful book and it is my love letter to you but it’s not all the words of love I have to say to you.

     What if you were in love with someone and you sent them your first love letter and every time you wanted to be close to them and communicate with them they tuned you out and read your letter instead? Suppose you wanted to take them to dinner but they just wanted to talk about your letter? Suppose you wanted them to come to your house and visit but all they would do is stay at home and read your letter?

     Even though my scriptures outline the basis of our relationship they aren't all of our relationship. Those of you who are married have a marriage license and have written vows to each other but those written words aren't all your relationship. Your lives are more than words on a page.

     My word to you is holy as it is to me but it’s time to not just read about me; it’s time to look up from the page and see me face to face. I am delighted that you esteem my letter so great but I want to have a heart to heart, hand in hand face to face relationship with you. Yes the scriptures are holy. They are our marriage contract but I want more.

     I want to take each of you by the hand and lead you into the realm of my presence where I can fulfill your joy and the longing of your heart. The book is wonderful but wouldn't you prefer to hug the author? 

     I want you to see the scriptures as the gateway into my presence. They are my introduction to you of who I am. I had hoped that people would understand the purpose of the book. My plan was that they would read the book and want to meet the one wrote it. Then as they began to fellowship with me they would fall in love with me and want to see me for who I am.

     Instead many have made the book their God and forgotten the God of the book. They love to put it on display and to show their knowledge of me by how much of the book they can quote. They have missed the point of it all together. Many gather to fight over the book and never think of asking me what it means.

     Jesus told the Pharisees that they searched the scriptures seeking eternal life and yet didn't recognize the only one who could give them eternal life when they saw him face to face. All the scriptures pointed to his coming but all they could see was the legal points of the contract and not see the love flowing from the one who wrote it.

     It’s time to come to me beyond they veil. When Jesus was crucified the veil that kept all people out of my presence was torn from top to bottom. I tore it. All that was necessary for you to come in and out of heaven was finished. The way to the holiest place of all was now open to all.

     Then something even greater happened. When I sent Holy Spirit to live inside you he brought with him my presence to live in you and to always be with you. Now things were reversed. The priest once stood outside the veil and could only come in once a year. Now the high priest moves into your temple and lives with you constantly. Jesus said “I stand at the door and knock and if you open I and my Father will move in and live inside you.” Jesus also said “I am the door to the sheep and you can come in and out and find pasture.”

     So here is what I am saying to you my beloved: The door into the heavenly realm is inside you. You can come to visit the realm of heaven and heaven is open to you if you will only believe and learn how to enter.

     Do you remember the scripture that says that you enter my gates with thanksgiving and my courts with praise? If you enter my gates and my courts where will you be? Are not my gates and courts in the heavenly realm?

     This is the key to entering into my presence. As you worship in your heart start looking for Jesus in your heart. He is the door and no one gets in any other way. There is no other way to me but by him. As you begin to see Jesus in your own heart he will appear unto you and bring you to me.

     All these things take time and practice and I know all these things are new unto you but you can do it. I want to see you more than you want to see me. What Father doesn't want to visit his children face to face and nose to nose? Don’t you know I want to hold you so close that I can kiss you on the face and hug you as a mother hugs her baby?

     Religion has made me seem far, far away. I am closer than your skin and you can’t see me because the veil of religion is blinding you. The god of the earthly realm has blinded your eyes and told you that you can’t see me. Yet Jesus said that he only did what he saw me doing and said these and greater things you could do because he returned to my presence to mediate for you.

     It’s time my children learned the truth and learned that the reason for all Jesus did was so that we could have face to face fellowship for eternity and you don’t have to wait to get to heaven when you die to have it. Did I not say that every eye would see me? Did not Jesus appear to over five hundred after the resurrection? Did not Stephen see Jesus standing at my side and me when he was being martyred? Did not John see me on the island? Did not Paul say that he came into the heavenly realm and saw things he couldn't even speak of?

     What happens when your body dies? Why can you see me when you die but can’t see me when you are alive? What is keeping you from seeing me? Your spirit is just as alive when inside your body as it is when your body falls away. Doesn't that show you that your spirit can always see me but your physical mind is blinded to the realm of my glory?

     It’s time the veil was removed from the eyes of my children and you learn to see me. Did I not say through Paul that when that which is perfect is come you will no longer see through a darkened glass but will see face to face? When what comes? What was Paul speaking of in this chapter? Was it not in the chapter you call the love chapter? When perfect love comes and casts out all fear of being in my presence then you will be able to see me.

     So focus on my love for you and know that if I love you that much then surely I want to see you face to face. I have waited throughout the ages to bring a people on earth into the love they have in heaven. Didn't I say that I wanted my will on earth to be as it is in heaven? Can people in heaven see me?

     I want you to consider the age that you are in. It is time for the revealing of sons and daughters. What will that look like? It will look like the first born among many brethren. It will look like Jesus all over again except multiplied by the millions of believers on the earth. You can’t look back to the early church and model yourself after them. This is a new beginning. This is the power of the age to come. This is the merging of heaven and earth and the gathering of all things together in heaven and earth. This will not look like anything you have ever seen.

     When I took Moses into the mountain I told him to make everything after the pattern in the heavenly realm. It’s the same for you. You will become who you need to be by looking at the person you are seated with me in the heavenly realm inside my firstborn. As you see who you are there you will become that person on the earth. Your power and dominion does not come from your earthly man but from your heavenly. You already exist in both realms.

     If this is hard to hear then take time and meditate on it. Those who embrace it will learn to come in and out and find pasture. Those who don’t will keep living and eating in the wilderness of life. I want all my sheep to eat in my pasture. I’ll have to leave the ninety nine who come in and go back out to find the one who doesn't find the gate. I love my little lambs and am not willing that they should perish. I want all my children to enjoy my presence.

     Please think on these things my beloved and know that you are the desire of my heart and I long to fellowship with each of you face to face and hand in hand. I want you to know how it feels to bury your head into my chest as I caress your head and kiss you and tell you how much I love you.

     I want my prodigal sons and daughters to come home. Come as you are. You don’t have to clean yourself up. I have a new robe waiting for you and a ring for your finger and a party with music and dancing. Come dance with me my children. 

     Remember that Jesus is the door to my house and he lives inside your heart. You opened your door when I knocked. I will open mine when you knock. Didn't my son tell you to knock and it will be opened unto you? 

     I love you my beloved. Love one another as I have loved you and be tender to each other as my heart is tender to you. Build each other up and honor each other as you do me. Walk in love no matter what it costs you to do so. Open the door within you and step through it right into my heart.

     John 17: 13 

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19. And for their sake I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21.That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

     Jesus prayed that Father would not take us out of the world but that we could be with him where he is. He prayed that we could behold his glory and be one with him and with our Father. We are already in heavenly places with him but are not conscious of that world because of our blindness. We need to awake unto the reality that we are welcome in his presence and learn to govern from that realm while we abide in this one.

     Revelation: Chapter 1:4
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

     8. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

     9. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11. Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia;

     John was in the Spirit. This is how we see God. We must look into the realm of the spirit. We must worship and give praise to him who saved us. We must look into our hearts where Jesus dwells and when we see him he will open the door to us so that we can see into the heavenly realm. 

     He wants us to come before is presence so that he can reveal himself to us and so he can love us. It's time to fall in love with the one who loves us so that we can truly love each other. It's time to take the religious blinders off of our eyes and see the one who sees us. It's time to fall in love with our creator and see him face to face.

Until next time,

I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Grow rich in His Grace,

I love you all,

The Vision of the Rainbow: His Promise is Sure

    

     I was praying today for all my brothers and sisters in Christ and asking our Father to bless each of you and to pour out his perfect will into your lives. I was asking Him to help all of us who are struggling with problems. 

     I was telling him of all the struggles we are in and how we sometimes feel cast down and forsaken. He quickly interrupted my whining with a vision of a rainbow that stretched all around the earth. It was visible even at night because it was not lit by the sun. I was in awe of this sight and wondering what it meant when He began to speak to me and said the following:

     I am taking my people into a place of victory. Soon there will be no more that are sick and no more that are weak but all will be strong in me. I will separate my children from the wicked and will show myself strong in my people. My love will be the light that my children walk in.

     There will be a day when the dread of my people will terrify those who choose to live in darkness and they will be afraid of my people. They will tremble in the light of my people. My light has come and will arise on my people. Their light will shine brighter than the sun at noon. There will be no more sorrow for all my people will know the joy of my salvation. This is my plan and always has been.

     One by one and then many by many all will come to the knowledge of my love and my salvation until my glory is revealed throughout the earth. This earth is mine and it will be full of my glory until the new heavens and earth are revealed. The new heavens and earth are filled with glory beyond compare and no unrighteousness will ever touch them.

     Don’t be afraid of the coming shaking of the earth or the shaking of the heavens. These are my doings and they are not to be feared but shall be as signs to my children showing them that their redemption is at hand.

     Tell all you see that the day of my power is here and has been here since my Spirit came, but men have held back the truth in unrighteousness. These evil spirits that block my light will be shaken out of place and my light will be known in the earth. My glory will be revealed and those who love me will run to my light and those that hate me will hide from my glory.

     These are the great days that prophets and wise men longed to see and they do watch as the witnesses. They are rejoicing for the day of my great power is at hand. Awake my children and run to me for the days of glory are upon you. These are days when the great healing of all the nations begins and I take for myself a people from every tribe and tongue and village.

     The earth is mine as the heavens are mine and the people are mine. Nations will see my glory and repent and come to me. The shaking that the whole world fears is the greatest thing to happen among the nations. Those who tell you to fear are looking into the darkness and they haven’t given their whole hearts to me or they wouldn't be afraid. They are not perfected into my love or there would be no fear in them.

     These are the days that I will pour out signs and wonders in the earth and heavens and my people who are called by my name shall see me eye to eye, face to face and not fear but shall know of my great love.

     I am the rock that my people will hide in. I will cover you all with my own hand while I take my possession and many will be caught in the tide of my goodness and great grace.

     I will pour out grace upon the nations and great and small will call me Lord. The name of my Son shall be a holy word only spoken by those who cover their hearts and bow their heads in reverence. I will make the name of Jesus a blessing in the earth and men shall give him the glory due his name. I will glorify his name and the names of my people.

     All will know those who are mine by the brightness of their countenance, for my face will shine upon my people and I will be revealed in my saints. All the nations of the world shall seek my children for counsel and understanding, for my children will walk in the wisdom of the ancients, and will understand all things as a gift of my Spirit and my grace. Those who have never learned will be wiser than all those who call themselves educated. It shall be given to my children as a gift of my love and my mercy will flow as rain to all who will humble themselves.

     It is not a dreadful day for my people but a great day that I am sending. The greatest revival the earth has ever known is upon you. My angels and messengers are being sent into position to help and will minister to those who teach and preach and will assist you with all you need in this time.

     The hungry will flow into the homes of my people and my people will fill them with food and truth. My loved ones who call upon me shall see unlimited supply and multiplication will be so simple that little children will feed many and will not go hungry.

     There will be great grace upon all who pray and before you pray I will answer for the day of days is upon you and the time of my grace is changing to the time of my glory. My glory is upon you my people so put away the fear and rise and shine.There will be nothing impossible to my people.

     So awaken those who sing and rejoice. Many who never sang a note will be given great songs and gifts of music will be poured out on those who never played, and earth will be filled with the song of the lamb and the worship of the king.

     Soon a rainbow will appear as my promise and all will see it and wonder at it and know that I am still on the throne. All the promises I have ever made from Adam through Noah, through Jesus and the Apostles all the way to the last promise I made my children will be sure and will be fulfilled. This sight will be a wonder seen in the entire world. Men shall wonder at the colors of the rainbow in the clear sky. This and many other signs will appear in heaven and on the earth to cause the wonder of all who see.

     Music will rain from the clouds and the voice of thunder will be understood by all. Heaven’s orchestra will join the song of my people who worship and the sound will be glorious and will be a sign. Did I not send angels to proclaim the birth of my son? Would they not come again to announce his return? Be not dismayed by what you see. These are the days of glory so rejoice in them and know that I am with my people and soon and we dwell together as one.

     Join me in my excitement my children. I love you and am about to take the earth from those who have held it hostage and release into the glorious liberty of my sons and daughters who will love it and dress it and care for it as in the beginning. This time the serpent will not find a place in the garden and will be cast out.

     Arise and rejoice my children your hour of visitation is upon you. Delight yourself in me and make yourself ready for your groom comes soon.

     Wash off the dirt of the world and put away anything that hinders you from walking with me. Fill your lamps with oil and keep watching as you pray for I am with you and your King comes quickly.

     Soon many gifts will arrive from the groom who is coming. These gifts will cause the bride to know how much he loves her and she will give herself to preparation for the wedding. These gifts of love will cause her to fall deeply in love with her groom and life as she knows it will change forever. She will know that she has not been forsaken. She will know that her groom sees her as perfect and lovely and greatly to be desired. Those who call her ragged and worn will be silenced as she changes before their eyes into living glory because of the love poured upon her.

     Know the day you are in my beloved and know that it is my great pleasure to dwell among my people. I love you my beloved and know that my heart is with my people and my love is upon you all.


     Thanks for reading and I hope you are greatly encouraged by these words.

Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

michael

From Father With Love

     

     A few days ago I was praying about some meetings that were happening in Garland Texas and asking Father what would he have for me to speak about. He started speaking to me about the meetings and about his love for all of us. As usual I asked him for a specific word and he gave it to me. He asked me this morning if I would share it with all who call him Father. I was more than happy to do so and I hope his kind words encourage all who read them.

     The meetings were amazing and I can't wait to go back again. I hope you experience his love being poured out as you read these words just as we did this past weekend. He is always so kind and loving and I give him all the glory for all the wonderful things that he does for us. To him be glory forever and ever and ever.

     Below are the words He spoke to me:


     My son; write down these words and deliver this personal message to my people.


     My beloved, treasures of my eternity. Don’t you know that I created eternity so that I could have forever to spend with each one of you? It’s time you know that you are the treasure of my heart. You are the reasons for all that I have done.

     I have known you since before there was time. Your future is my present and in that day we spend endless hours together loving each other and singing and rejoicing for the great joy that is in our hearts. You sing to me and I sing to you and we enjoy each other’s presence.

     You can have that now. You don’t have to wait until the future to have it. The time for intimacy is now. I am calling my people to worship. As you learn to worship me then my glory will pour through you for the world to see and that will cause a great awakening in the earth.Many more will come to the light of the glory and will come to know me from the glory poured into your lives.

     

     Many of you are waiting until you are holy enough to come into my presence. Don’t you know that you are washed in the blood and are already holy in my sight? Shake off the dust of this world and come on in. You are welcome in my house. You have every right to visit me in the secret place and soon many of you will spend more time here than there.

     Yes I know there are things to do, but this is my plan. Did not I ask Jesus to sit and wait on his enemies to be made a footstool? This is my work and I will accomplish it. It will not be done in drudgery and toil. It will be accomplished in joy and singing. Did I not say that the redeemed of the Lord would return with everlasting joy?

     Don’t let the world or the gloom and doom preachers scare you. The darkness of the world will soon be overcome by the light of the kingdom. Take your eyes off the darkness and worship me in the light.

     My glory is about to cover the earth as the water covers the sea and my people can’t prepare for it because they are preparing for doomsday and not the Lord’s Day. Why do you think it’s called the Lord’s Day? It’s not called the Antichrist day or the beast’s day or the false prophet’s day. It is my day and it is glorious for I am glorious and my love for you is glorious.

     

     My glory will arise upon the people who learn to worship and it will consume darkness like fire destroys the stubble. The great awakening is at hand and my people are hiding in caves. Blinded by a defeated enemy who is trying his best to hold on to any resemblance of relevance or authority. He is trying his best to scare my people into giving up their inheritance. You have inherited a kingdom that will never be shaken.

     It’s time to wake up. The day of my power is coming when I will reap this earth of the precious fruit called people. People are my prize possession and are the sweetest fruit on the vine. The age of glory is upon you so be ready to sing. Wake up the musicians and call the singers! Put a song in your hearts and make melody for the greatest days you have ever seen will come even as the world sinks into darkness.

     So you ask how do we worship. You worship by doing everything in my presence. Whoever you spend the most time with is the one you worship. Whoever you set your heart on the most. Whoever fills your mind and heart that is the one you desire. So fill your life with my presence and realize I will never leave you or forsake you. 

     If you are washing dishes then let me wash with you. Visit with me in songs and hymns and spiritual songs as you go about your day. If you are taking out the trash be thankful that you have so much you can throw away something. Do all you do as unto me. I will get involved in your daily chores until you don’t even realize that you are working. Working will be that thing that gets done while you are singing. You will no longer sing while you work, you will work while you sing. Do you understand?

     My children have pushed me away and locked me out of their day to day lives thinking these little things are too small for me to get involved in. Did I not feed the birds and bugs today? When you love someone as much as I love you then everything is a chance for fellowship.

     Remember your first love? Remember when you first were born again into my family how that everything was about Jesus? If you got a blessing you worshiped and if you bumped your head you gave thanks that it wasn't broken. Everything was about fellowship. That is about to return to all of your lives if you will let me back in to everything you are doing.

     So learn to worship and spend time with me. Find time to escape to the secret place and lock the world away and let me love you. I want your whole day and I want the hours when you are sleeping.

     Many of you are beginning to have dreams that you don’t understand. Ask me and I’ll tell you what they mean. I want to be with you in your dreams and in your awake time. I am never away from you and you are always in my focus and my heart is attuned to your every cry. Take time each day to come alone and visit with me. I want to share with you an intimacy that we cant share in public. I want to tell you secrets that only you and I know and I don’t want anyone else to hear but you. I love each of you so much that there are secrets that we will share together that I will not share with anyone else. You each are that special.

     Now to change the subject: Many of you have given up all you had to follow me. I know you did this and I am honored. You will be rewarded for your effort. Many of you are wondering because you left all and can’t go back to where you were. That just shows how smart you are and how well you heard my voice. Just because you haven’t seen great success yet doesn't mean that you missed me.

     Did not all the disciples give all they had? Didn't they have a hard road sometimes? Just because many are struggling doesn't mean you made a mistake. I know your sacrifices and I will repay you for what you have lost and you will rejoice and wish you would have lost it all sooner.

     So rest and be at peace and worship for your day is coming quickly. The visions that brought you here will come to pass. It’s not that I’m slow, it’s that you see very well and many of you saw these things coming from a great distance. Don’t be worried that they haven’t come to pass; rejoice that I have given you great vision to see from far off. I will bring all these things to be in their correct time.

     It’s time to rejoice my dear children because it is my good pleasure to give you the kingdom. It is my kingdom, my power and my glory and I will pour it out soon upon my people and you will all rejoice. Remember worship is the entrance to the secret place. I love you my children. Rest in my embrace and feel my peace.

     Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,

I love you each and every one,

The Secret Place: Part One

     Today I am writing about a very special place. It is my favorite place this side of heaven. I love to visit often and I am in the process of learning to live there.. I am speaking of the secret place of the Most High God. 

Many of you are familiar with Psalm 91 that says:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High 

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: 

my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the Fowler, 

and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, 

and under his wings shalt thou trust: 

his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; 

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

 nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, 

and ten thousand at thy right hand; 

but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

 and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the LORD, 

which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, 

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, 

to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands,

 lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

 the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon me, 

therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, 

because he hath known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: 

I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him, 

and shew him my salvation.

     This passage begins with the words "he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high".

We must learn to make this place our home and dwell there at all times. All these promises of protection apply to those who make God their habitation and learn to live in the secret place. I have been in that place many times but didn't realize until Father revealed it to my heart that He wants us to live there. He loves us so much that He longs to take us to a place of fellowship that is even better than that of the apostle John, who would lay his head on Jesus' chest and listen to the heartbeat of God.We can and must learn to see this place as more real than the natural world. 

     The scriptures say in Ephesians Chapter Two:

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

     Father's love for us is so great that he forgave our sins and made us alive when he raised us up with Christ Jesus and made us to exist in the same realm that He does.He did this for the purpose of showing us how much He loves us. Because of His great love for us He didn't want us to wait all of our lifetime until we passed into the next world to have fellowship with him. He wants us to be able to abide with Him where He is in the present time. He came to live in us and wants us to be able to see into that world where He abides and to be in constant fellowship with him at all times. 

     Jesus showed us how this was done. He accomplished more than anyone who ever walked on this planet and yet at the same time kept in constant fellowship with our Father. He always said that He only did what He saw the Father doing. He would say things like,"My Father in me does the works." Even when he raised Lazarus from the dead He said "Father I thank you that you always hear me." even though he hadn't said anything audibly. He was so in tune with Father that even his thoughts were heard.

     Father hears our thoughts also. That is why the scripture says "let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight.  He loves us so much that He hears every thought, every cry, every whisper and every prayer. We should be just as focused on Him as He is on us.

     Jesus' heart and his eyes were always on the heavenly realm and I'll give you a couple more examples.

     When He fed the multitudes the scriptures say in Luke Chapter Nine that Jesus took the loaves and looked towards heaven and blessed them. He didn't look at the loaves as his supply, He looked towards heaven. He understood that the realm above is more real than the physical realm. 

     In John Chapter Three when Jesus was talking to Nicodemus he said the following:
And no man hath ascended up to heaven but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven.

     Notice he didn't say which was in heaven, but which is in heaven.He came down from heaven and was still in heaven and on the earth at the same time.  He lived in both realms simultaneously. Thanks to Jesus and his finished work at the cross now we are able to do the same thing.

    These are His words and not mine. He is the one who seated us in heavenly places for we could not do it for ourselves. It was His plan to make us able to fellowship with Him in the spiritual realm and we are just now beginning to learn how to abide there and be conscious of both realms at the same time. He did this because He loves us and wants us to be fully conscious of that his love. He wants to be present in every moment of our lives for eternity. We are just beginning to see the depth of His love. What an Awesome Father we have who loves us this much!
     
     One day while I was studying about Stephen and how he was being stoned I told the Lord that it was wonderful that you let him see you while he was being martyred. He spoke to me and told me that Stephen saw him every time he prayed. 

     We can also learn to see Him when we pray. He want's us to see him at all times just as He saw our Father each time He prayed. We should be able to take our eyes off the temporary world and look into the eternal world and see Jesus seated at the right hand of Father. We have settled too long for a religion when we could have a relationship with a living God and His son Jesus and Holy Spirit. He is calling us into this relationship where we see and know Him face to face.

     As I was meditating on all these things last week I heard Jesus singing and I listened in amazement to the love song that He sang to me.The invitation in His song is for all who will listen to Him sing. He told me to write down the words of the song He was singing. I hope to record it soon but until then I will give you the words and you can ask Him to sing it to you also.

These are the words He sang to me:

Will you come to me

in the secret place?

For just a little while,

will you stop and pray?

I want you to see my face.

Behold the glory of my grace,

and get lost in my embrace.

In the secret place.

When you come to me

in the secret place,

look deep into my eyes

and lock the world away.

I want you to see my face.

Behold the glory of my grace

and get lost in my embrace.

In the secret place.

I am always waiting,

in the secret place.

Always waiting for you.

Please come right away.

I want you to see my face.

Behold the glory of my grace

and get lost in my embrace.

In the secret place.

All you have to do is look deep inside your heart.

Heaven's doorway is within you so no matter where you are.

There's a secret place.  It's our secret place.

I want you to see my face.

Behold the glory of my grace

and get lost in my embrace.

In the secret place.

     I hope you are encouraged by these words.

Until next time.

Grow Rich in His Grace

I love you each and every one.

Michael

Faith or Family?

     Second Peter 1:3 

 According as his divine power has given unto us 

all things that pertain unto life and godliness 

through the knowledge of him 

that hath called us to glory and virtue:

     Recently as I was praying our Father spoke some things to me that have been soaking into my heart and settling in over the last few weeks. It's a tough subject to deal with because so many people are invested into a system that sounded right when we heard it, and many struggled for years to make the system work only to become frustrated at the results that came from the system the church calls faith. It sounds great to the ear but when you compare the message that some call faith to the message of the kingdom family it falls short. 
     It is not my plan to offend anyone but to help those who have struggled to find freedom and purpose and to the know the love of a Father who loves us so much that He provided all we could ever need before we were even born. It is from the love that He put in my heart that I share the following:

     Father in my heart I hurt for those who struggle to know you as Father, as Daddy, as best friend. I want them to know of the great love you have for them. I want them to know that you have a plan for their life and their victory is in surrendering to your plan and their treasure is your love working in their lives and hearts as it does in mine. Please my Lord, your voice is sweeter than life itself and your correction more valuable than all the riches of the world. Please my Father, my beloved speak to us and instruct us. I will worship and wait for your voice. I will write what you speak and share it with my beloved brothers and sisters. I love you Father and will wait in delight for your instruction.

In only a moment he spoke the following words:

     My son, my beloved share these words with my beloved, my children, the glorious inheritance bought for me by my son Jesus: My holy ones, washed in blood and righteous and perfect before me in love. Those who have professed their faith in my son and all that he did. Oh my son, declare unto them my love and affection for them! Tell them of my great passion for them and how I adore them and have built an eternity just to show them the greatness of my love. 

     My heart is consumed with love for my children. Oh the joy they bring to me! One day you will all hear me sing the song of my beloved children. You will hear me rejoice over you with singing and we will dance together through the dawn of the new creation built for me and my children.

     My children; Do you know how much you are loved? You are the reason for all I do and it is for my great love for you that I have done all the things from the dawn of creation. It was for your benefit that all things were worked out by my wisdom and my knowledge so that you could spend eternity in the place of my love and would have no regret. 

     I know in your time it is a new year and you are hoping for better things this year than last. Many of you are frustrated and have given up hope that things would ever change. There is change coming to you, but not because of your calendar but mine. There is a timeline for the ages that is drawn out in the heavenly realm. It is written in the stars and in nature but not many see it.

     Do you remember when my son Jesus was on the earth he told the leaders that they didn't know what time it was? They couldn't see the change from the law to the age of grace and now many leaders are blind and they can’t see the change from the age of grace to the age of glory.

     Do you remember I told you that you would be changed from glory to glory by beholding my truth, the perfect law of liberty in a mirror? That truth was written inside your born again spirit when you were birthed by my Spirit.

     Many leaders still can’t get from law to grace much less from grace to glory. The law had a certain glory to it and grace is indeed much more glorious, but the age of my glory is beyond compare to anything you have ever dreamed.

     Many of you have noticed that the things that once worked in prayer and ministry are fading now. Many have gone back to traditions and to legalism and others have gone to extreme grace that leads to people doing fleshly acts that they know in their hearts are not correct.

     Many of you have been wondering about why these things aren't working anymore. Many have tried to make excuses by blaming it on a lack of faith or on sin or unbelief.

     Many sick people feel condemned because the preachers who preach healing by faith don’t have the power to make the sick well so they blame the sick for being sick. This has caused many to feel inferior and fall away. It’s time we put away all these things and understand how the kingdom works. As the kingdom is understood it will usher in the age of my glory.

     The kingdom is a family. You who believe in the sacrifice of my son have been born into that family. As a child it is not your responsibility to care for yourselves. It is my responsibility to care for you. A newborn child doesn't have to have faith that their parents will take care of them. A parent cares for their child out of love not because the child has faith in them and believes them for their needs. 

     Have your ever asked your child what are you believing me for? Doesn't that sound silly in a family relationship? Likewise a child with a loving parent doesn't have to memorize what the parent says and try to use their words to force them into doing what they already promised they would do. A child who has real faith in their parents would say “ I know my Daddy loves me and he will provide for me.”

     He wouldn't treat his or her parents as if they were some far away force that has to be appeased so they will provide the child’s needs. 

     How strange these thing sound when compared to an earthly family and even more so when compared to the ultimate Father who knows all of your needs for eternity and is working things out for your eternity and not for your temporal pleasure.

     These things that have been running through my churches for years are silly. Can those of you who have children imagine making rules and regulations that your children have to keep so that you will feed them? Can you imagine having a sick child and waiting for that child to bring you ten examples of how you promised to heal them and to stand and confess every day that you are going to heal them? And then blame the child because they didn't have faith that you could do it?

     All these doctrines of faith have become twisted. When you were born into my family it became my responsibility to care for you. All things that pertain to life and godliness were given to you when you took my name. When you were adopted into my family you became my responsibility. These rules that the so called people of faith have put into practice are silly to me.

     When a parent makes a promise it is the parent’s responsibility to make it come to pass. I will do what I promised whether you believe it or not. You can’t cancel my promise by unbelief. If you tell your child that you are going to give them a bicycle for their birthday and they don’t believe you do you take the bike back or do you give it to them to prove you keep your word?

     This is a relationship not a business. All these rules and regulations and stipulations put on my promises are not from me. When you believed in my son you acted upon faith and that was the act I needed to give you all things. It is good to believe in my word and believe in my promise but the power to make my word come true came from my integrity and not from your faith. The man that confessed to Jesus that he was in unbelief still got healed.

     Do those who do not believe in my existence cause me not to be God? Just because they don’t believe do I case to exist? This faith message in the church has destroyed many because they think when they fail it’s because they didn't have faith so I punished then by not giving them what I promised. They have become discouraged and have given up their inheritance because of that frustration. If they had enough faith to get born again why do they need more?

     Many have been belittled by those who claim to have faith because of their many possessions and many of those possessions have come from those who have given all they had to try to prove they had faith. Gain doesn't always represent godliness. The kingdom is a family. We live by family rules not business rules.

     At your birth you were given an inheritance and it will be given to you when you are mature enough to handle it. The heir as long as he is a child is no different than a servant. Maturity is reached when you come to the point that you realize that you didn't earn the inheritance; it came because of a death of the one who did deserve it and did earn it. 

     It was all his to hold on to. It rightfully belonged to Jesus who earned it and because of his death it was passed on to all the other children in the family. As long as you think you can earn it then you can’t have it. It’s the faith that all things were given to you by him that proves to me that you are mature and able to handle all that was promised to you

     In the kingdom, just as in life, some people mature faster than others. There are fifty year old babies and ten year old adults. As a good Father I know what is best and distribute to you what is needful and not harmful. You don’t give a twelve year old boy a sports car. But it’s not his lack of faith that keeps him from receiving a sports car, it’s your wisdom in action.

     I told you in scripture that all things work together for good for those that love me and are called according to my purpose. Doesn't being adopted into my family fit into being called according to my purpose? Do you adopt children and have no plan for them? When my people understand this then they can stop focusing on the events of life and focus on my love for them. When you learn this then every problem that arises isn't a crisis and isn't’ a failure of your faith.

     For instance; if you have a flat tire it doesn't mean you are being punished for a misdeed or under attack, or have a lack of faith. It could be that your tires are worn and I want to give you new ones. It could be that your car is worn and I want to give you a new one. It could be that you were driving dangerously and in my wisdom I slowed you down. Once this is understood you can give thanks in all things.

     Does that mean you give thanks when the enemy attacks? No way! It means that you know that you are my child and vengeance is mine and the enemy will not go unpunished. Just remember that your enemy is not a person. You are not wrestling against flesh and blood.

     You have to look at everything as a family. These rules that you learned from the so called faith teachers make you a servant. Servants don’t have an inheritance. They are paid according to works. The children sit at the table and servants serve them. You can enter in to the finished work that was done by Jesus and inherit because you are family.

     I didn't thunder that day at the river and say this is my beloved servant. I said He was a son and I was pleased because he was a son. He did the works because he loved me and not because he had something to prove.

     Many of those who preach faith today cling to what James says about showing me you have faith by your works. If you have faith then works of love flow from you naturally. Not because you have great faith but because you have a great nature living inside you. You do things because you love people and you love me. It has nothing to do with proving your faith. It has everything to do with proving you are a son or daughter with my nature living inside you.

     It is time for my children to learn what great inheritance that my love provided for them. It's time to learn of me, not learn rules about me. As Peter said I have already given you all things that pertain to your life and godliness. If I have given them to you then they are already yours and you don't have to "believe" me for them. Just believe in me and they are yours. You don't have to struggle in faith to obtain them. 

     Many people twist the scripture that says it is through faith and patience that you inherit the promises. It means to have faith in me and my goodness and be patient and all I promised you will come to you. You don't have to struggle for it. Enter into my rest and spend time with me and all these things will come your way. 

     Oh my beloved children. Have faith in my love for you. don't worry. Your Father loves you and it is my good pleasure to give you this kingdom. Giving you the kingdom was my plan and not yours. Rest in my love and spend your time in worship and fellowship not in struggling to build enough faith to get something that I already gave you. 

     Be ready my children: The age of my glory is upon the earth soon and my glory will cover the earth as the water covers the sea. 

     What is that glory my children? 

Don't you know it's you? You are my glory!

Didn't I say that man was the glory of God? 

This earth will be covered with my beloved sons and daughters! Oh happy day when I stand on the earth and dance with my children! 

Rejoice my beloved and again I say Rejoice!
