Matthew Chapter Fifteen

19, For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”


Galatians Chapter Five

19,Now the works "of the flesh" are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.


John Chapter Seven

37.On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.



    As I was praying today these verses came to my mind and I looked them up and while I was thinking about them Father spoke to me and asked me to listen and write down his words and publish them for all to hear. Here are his words:



    My little children it’s time to understand the garden that is within you. In the beginning I made Adam and put him in the garden and there were two trees: The tree of knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life.

    Now these trees are inside you. The tree of life came and dwelt among you and now resides in you. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil lives in your mind and the tree of life lives within your spirit. You choose to eat of either tree and your lives bear the fruit of whichever tree you are feeding on.


    My loved ones, out of the heart of the spirit comes life and peace, and out of the mind of the flesh comes chaos. This is why you were instructed that to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

    You choose minute by minute which you dwell on and these thoughts become seeds that you plant into your life. As it is written, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks so whichever crop is dominant in your heart is what you sow into your world. It is also written that if you sow to the spirit you will reap life and if you sow to the flesh you will reap death and corruption.


    I tell you these things so that your lives will be filled with good things and good fruit. I want you to be healthy and prosperous and full of joy but the choice is yours as it is for everyone.


    It is written that the heavens belong to me but the earth I have given into the hands of the sons of men. This why there is chaos in the world. Out of the abundance of their feeding on the wrong tree they sow chaos into the world.

   So many of you are praying for evil to be destroyed and good to rule. You think you are fighting external forces, but as you just heard the evil in the world comes from within the hearts of men. If you want to change the world then you must learn what you are fighting against. Change hearts and change the world!

    It is written that you wrestle not against flesh and blood but against wickedness in high places. This doesn't mean you are fighting evil spirits. The temple of God is within man. You are seated with me in heavenly places "far above all principalities and powers" so what you war against is ignorance. I gave the earth into the hands of the sons of men. Not into the hands of evil spirits or fallen beings. As you just heard all the wickedness comes from the hearts of men. Man is my temple and the wickedness is within the hearts of the ignorant. 

    Do you remember what Paul wrote to the Colossians?

 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile "all things" unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

    All things in heaven and earth were reconciled by the blood of Christ. The evil things in the world are not the cause. They are the symptoms. You are fighting the fever but the fever is the symptom and not the cause. Sin is not the problem: Sin is the symptom of the ignorance within the heart of mankind. This ignorance is learned ignorance and sadly most of it was learned from listening to men in suits proclaiming to be preachers of the gospel. They preach against evil and demonize people instead of proclaiming the good news. The good news is not what my Son will do but rather is what he has already done.


    The gospel is not turn to me and you will be forgiven and changed. The gospel is that I was in Christ on the cross reconciling the whole world unto myself. My Son already took away the sins of the whole world. All are forgiven but most don’t know it so they continue to live in ignorance of their true identity. This is why our beloved Paul told you in his letter to the Corinthians that the gospel is the good news of reconciliation. My Son told you that when he was lifted up which means crucified, he would draw “all men” unto him. As it is written that if one died for all then all died. It is also why Paul told Timothy that I am the savior of “all people” especially them that believe.

     The gospel message that should be preached is not you are a sinner and bound for hell. The message is: Hey, do you know you are dearly loved and you have a savior who took away all your sins and reconciled you to himself and wants to have a loving relationship with you. So how about you let go of your guilt and shame and come home to the truth that you are God's child? Do you know he already made your righteous and holy? It's the truth but no one told you. I am here to proclaim to you that you are dearly loved, forgiven and holy in your Father's eyes! He adores you so let go of the lies and live in the truth!


    So the way to change the world is to first of all tend your own garden. Remember that I am the gardener and I take away the bad things in your life that don’t bear good fruit. You don’t have to do this yourself all you have to do is surrender to me and allow me to change you from the inside out. As it is written “the axe is laid at the root of the tree.” Allow me to cut down that tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then the only tree within you will be the tree of life and you will be free.


    My loved ones, as long as you see people as good and evil you are eating from that tree. Remember what I told Peter? Don’t call unclean that which I have cleansed. The evil people you rail about are already cleansed by the blood of my Son but they don’t know it so they continue to live in darkness. Instead of cursing them, start praying the truth over them. Start proclaiming over all men that they were crucified when my Son drew them into himself on the cross and they were raised again when he brought them out of the tomb. Pray that their hearts will be awakened to the truth and their hearts will change and they will start bearing the fruit of the spirit and not the fruit of evil. See people with my eyes. Just imagine if one of your children was caught up in the wickedness you rail against. Would you want that child destroyed or awakened and living in truth and love?


    My loved ones, nothing changes from the outside in. Once the heart is changed then the rivers of living water will flow from within and water everyone and everything around you. The living water will flow from your spirit into the spirits and hearts of those who are ignorant of the truth and they will begin to change.


    My beautiful ones: Eat only from the tree of life, the tree of love. This spiritual fruit is given for the healing of the nations just as it is written. So feast on the truth of my love for you and soon you will see every person the way I see them. Remember that it is written: “All” will know me from the least to the greatest. It is also written “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that my Wonderful Son it Lord and Christ.” This will bring me and him great glory.


    So rejoice my loved ones and apply this to your own lives. Some of you have given up on your loved ones. Some can’t imagine that some people will ever change. Just remember: All things are possible with me!


    Finally my beloved: Love each and every one with the love I love you with. Love never fails. Know that you are loved beyond your ability to understand.

    I so loved “the world” that I gave my only Son. I haven’t changed my mind. I still do! I adore each one who walks in love and truth and I love each one who is trapped in the ignorance within them. I love the blind children just as much as those who can see. This is true love. Love everything that breathes!



    These are the words He gave me to share with you today.
I hope you are encouraged by them.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you each and every one!
I’ll see you soon!
Michael

Matthew Chapter Six

25. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.



Matthew Chapter Eleven

28. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.


John Chapter Fourteen

27, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.



    As I was praying today these verses bubbled up from within. Like some of you, sometimes I get too focused on the news of the day and the darkness in the world and I have to take time to reset my mind on heaven and reset my heart to peace. To do this I usually focus on Jesus and think about how much he loves us and what he paid to bring us out of the darkness of our illusion and delusion and into the light of his loving grace.


    As these verses above came up I sat at my computer and looked them up and typed them onto a page because this is how I usually learn from him. I sit ready to take notes and he begins speaking loving words to me and I take them from my heart and put them into type.


    I would suggest if you haven’t tried this method to try it. If you don’t have a computer handy then grab a notebook and your bible and if you position yourself as a student then your teacher will teach you.


    This is how I learned to tune into his voice. When I first began I would settle my heart on love and listen and would just write down every thought that comes from within. Father speaks to you in your thoughts because he is Spirit and he speaks to you in the same place that your own inner voice comes from. I realized pretty quickly that some thoughts were mine and some were his and some were the voice of fear or anger. 

    I remembered the scripture in John Chapter six where Jesus said his words are Spirit and they are life. So I deleted the words I had written down that didn’t encourage my spirit or bring life to my heart and with practice I began to be able to tune in to only his words and his thoughts.


    I hope many of you will try this as well. I promise you that your loving Father is speaking to you all the time. You just have to tune your heart to the right station. Worry is the wrong channel. Fear is the wrong channel. Hate is the wrong channel. Tune into love and you will hear his voice for Jesus said “My Sheep hear my voice.”


    Jesus said, “let the little children come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven.” Become as a child and listen as a child and you will hear him plainly. It was written that he wouldn’t put out a smoking candle or break a bruised reed. He is gentle and if you hear shouting then you are not listening to him. He doesn’t shout at his little children.


    Personally I can say he has only shouted at me twice. Once was when I had fallen asleep driving, He shouted my name and woke me up and the other was early one morning when I awakened to him shouting “John! John! John!” I awakened and leaped out of bed and shouted “I am not John!” and then I heard him laughing and as I looked at my clock it was 3:16 a.m. He loves to laugh and to make us joyful.


    So my loved ones, I said these things because I want you to experience this great love that he has for you. Hearing his voice brings the most comfort to any storm you are going through. Knowing that he is always with you and closer than your own breath will bring peace to the chaos.


    So now as I was writing these words He spoke to me and said to send his loved ones these words that follow: He said:


    My little ones don’t be afraid. There is nothing to fear. You are dearly loved and completely safe in me. In this world tribulations come and go but you are always loved.

    I hear some say that I don’t love you because if I did you wouldn’t suffer or have bad things happen. To this I ask: “Do you love your children? Do bad things happen to them even though you love them?” If you controlled every action and made every decision for them would they ever learn or grow up? Is falling down part of the process of learning to walk?


    My love for you is constant. On joyful days and days full of tears my love for you doesn’t change. You are dearly loved at all times. Remember my Son told you in the parable that the storm rages against the house built on sand and the storm rages at the house built upon the rock. Build your foundation of life upon the rock of my love and your house will stand. It is hard for you to understand at this time but the storms are necessary. Just as fire purifies gold so the storms are not to destroy but to teach you how to build.  How you react to them makes the difference.


    As it is written “You are the light of the world, you are the city on a hill.” No one lights a candle and hides it under a basket where it is useless. A candle is lit and put in the darkest place so that others can see. You are lights in a dark world and the darkness does not understand you. Your job is not to curse the darkness or hate the darkness or rage against the darkness. Your job is to shine with the light of love and let that light lead others home. Just as my Son was sent into a dark world so have you been sent but you are just as safe as you can be.


    My loved ones if you set your minds on love and on heavenly beauty and perfection then you will be able to stand in the darkness and shine brightly. Your lamp is not fueled from without but from within. As you gaze upon the beauty then your heart converts that beauty into light within you. So as you consider the birds of the air or the flowers of the field you are strengthened. If you focus on darkness and evil then you are weakened. You must take time every day to gaze into my face and be filled with the light of heaven. As you look at me you are conformed into my image. Remember that I am within you so you have to look inside for me. I am right in the center of you. I live as one with your spirit so you can never be separated from me.


    My loved ones, I tell you these things to bring you peace and to drive the fear and anger from your heart. As our beloved apostle Paul told you. Nothing can separate you from my love. Neither life nor death or any other thing can ever take you from me. You are mine and I am yours. You have always been mine and I have always been yours and that will never change. As my Son told you in what you call the epistle of John, “you didn’t chose me, I chose you! And our beloved Paul added that you were lovingly chosen before I made the world.”


    My little ones; rest in my love and be filled from within by my peace. Soon the troubled world will change as my light continues to drive out the darkness and earth will become like heaven. Love each other as I have loved you. Be patient with each other. All are on the same journey but some of you are stronger than others. Don’t be angry with those who stumble or those who are overcome by fear and don’t understand. Lovingly encourage and lift each other up. Never belittle but always build each other up in faith. Remember ignorance is your only disease and love is the only cure. Walk in love and heal the world!



    These are 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

Beloved, Beautiful, Chosen Children

Ephesians Chapter One

3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.


John Chapter Fifteen

16. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.


First John Chapter Three

1. See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.


Romans Chapter Eight

28. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one; for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one; for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.



    As I was praying today all of these scriptures began to start flowing into my mind and I looked them up and began writing them down and as I did Father spoke to me and said to me: “Write this down and send it to my chosen children!” I asked which ones and he said “all of them.”

So here are his words: He said:

    My lovely beloved ones; let go of all the doubt. Let go of all the lies. You are not my children because you found great mercy and I felt pity on you and accepted you into my family. You were always my plan and my chosen ones.


    Each of you were a loving thought in my mind, a beautiful thought and that thought became alive because it caused you to be formed in my Spirit and my Spirit gave birth to you. 

    The beautiful dream I dreamed in my heart of you and how precious you are and all the wonderful things I would prepare for you all came to be as you were birthed by my spirit. A living part of me and yet each of you with your own personality and identity. All made from one and from the same but all different and none of you exactly the same. Each of you in your beautiful uniqueness but each of you still made from me.  You received your earthly bodies from your parents but the part of you that remains forever is born of me. This is why it written “that which is born of God cannot sin because my seed, or my life remains in you.”


    Those who lie to you tell you that you were miserable sinners and barley saved because I felt pity for you. I ask those of you who have children whom you adore, is that why they were born? See how stupid it sounds when you realize what they are saying. They tell you that if you make a mistake I will reject you and burn you in fire. Is that how you do your children? You find out they told a lie at school so you go home and build a bonfire and roast them? The more you examine what you have been taught the more ignorant it sounds.


    I tell you these things not so that you will live in sinful ways but so that you will understand that at the core of you is a holy, righteous child of God and awakening to that truth will raise your mind up to the level of the truth in your spirit.


    Think of it this way. Suppose you went to the store and bought new clothes that cost a billion dollars. Would you then go roll in the mud and ruin them? Never! So once you realize you are clothed with love and light, and know you are a being who is so valuable that it cost me everything to wake you up to who you really are, your lives will change. You will realize that you are my child and become on the outside exactly what you already are inside.


    False religion tries to tell you to keep this law and that law and don’t do this and don’t do that but that just makes it worse. If I tell you do not think of something you automatically think of it because your mind is made that way. If I tell you "don't think of a glass of milk" what just happened? Did you see a glass of milk in your mind? So rules can't work because of the way you are made. So what is the answer?


    The answer is to look at my first born Son. See him for who he is. See his love for you. See how he rejoices over you. Soon, without effort, you will become just like him. Seeing the truth will chisel away the lies that hide your true identity. You are in his image and are just as much my child as he is. Those of you with multiple children: Is your first child more of a child to you than your second or third or hundredth? No matter what order you were born in you are equally my children.


    This is the real reason to worship. So that you will get lost in your true place and every time you do you are changed into the heavenly image that lives within you. You are changed into the image of what you behold.  My beloved one told you that if your eye is single your whole body will be full of light. If you only stare into the heavenly realm then you will be filled spirit, body and mind with that light and will be changed.


    My delightful ones, the next time you doubt just remember how much you are loved. Remember that you didn’t choose me, I chose you. I chose you before I made a world for you to come to. It is written that my Son came to save that which is lost. What was lost was the understanding of who you truly are. He came to restore your understanding so that you would know that you are mine.


    The so called religion of the day tells people they are wicked and evil then act surprised when they act like it. If you take a baby and leave the baby with the dogs in the yard then they will think and act like dogs. If you bring them into your arms and tell them they are loved and are fearfully and wonderfully made then that is what they will become. Even if they lose their way they will return because the seed is within them.


    So my loved ones: Put away the doubt. You are my beloved! You are beautiful! You are chosen! You are my children! You are my beloved, beautiful, chosen children!

    
    Rest in this truth and know that eternal bliss is your future. No temporary earthly problems can compare to the eternal joy prepared for you.


    Think on these things and you will remember that you chose me because you were chosen. Remember what my Son told you. All the Father has given me will come to me. You came to me because you were mine. You came to earth because you saw the joy that was to come. Just as my firstborn endured the cross for the joy set before him. He looked beyond the cross and saw you and loved you and no amount of pain could stop his passion for you. Look beyond the suffering of this time and look at the eternal bliss to come. As it is written: "If we suffer with him we shall also reign with him." If you lived a perfect life and never had pain or discouragement what you experience on earth is still great suffering compared to from where you are going.

    My beloved, beautiful, chosen children: Know how much you are loved and love everyone who breathes with the same love.

These are 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

Ephesians Chapter Three

14. For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


John Chapter Three

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.


First Corinthians Chapter Thirteen

1. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.



    As I was praying today all these scriptures arose within me and as I was thinking about them Father spoke to me and said: It is written that the whole earth shall be filled with my glory as the water covers the sea. My Child, love is my glory!


    My heart melted within me because I have experienced his love since I was a little child. Thousands of times in my life I have been completely overcome by his loving-kindness to the point I couldn’t even speak. As I was thinking about these things it hit me that soon all people will feel this at all times. I took a minute to worship and give thanks for all the times he has assured me of his love and as I did he began to speak and asked me to listen and write and publish his words for all to hear. Here are his words: He said:


    My precious ones: I told you that you would find me when you seek “me” with your whole heart. So many today seek only experiences or knowledge or seek for the latest revelation that will make others believe that they have some secret knowledge that no one has. I know most of you have seen this. Social media is full of people who think they have all the answers and it seems like the wilder the theory the more attention they draw to themselves. With many it seems the more they tell the story the bigger and wilder it gets. But do these so called revelations lead to better fellowship? Do they lead to loving your neighbor more?


    Just remember my loved ones that my Son said to let the little children come to him because of such are the kingdom of heaven. If the message you are hearing is not understandable to little children then it’s not the message that my Son brought to the world. When you hear people tossing around giant words that most people have never heard of or using formulas and great equations to get their ideas across it probably didn't originate with me. They are usually just trying to make you think they have superior intelligence so you will believe their ideas. I sent my apostles into the world to teach people who could not read or write. The true gospel is easily understood by little children as well as those who are so called super educated. The true message is the message of love that can be understood by the heart and sometimes no words are even needed.


    Many will mistake the  meaning of the words that you just read that were written by our beloved Paul where he said when he was a child he spoke like a child but when he became a man he put away childish things. Most don’t understand that what he was saying is that arguing over tongues or prophesy or great revelation is childish and the important way and the better way is love. The focus should always be love and not gifts. Prophecy and gifts of my Spirit are wonderful but they are not show and tell. They are given as gifts of my love to help establish love in every heart.


    So many seek me to see miracles or to understand mysteries or to receive great prosperity but all those things happen because of my love for you. You were told to seek the kingdom and all these things will be added to you. The king is love, so the kingdom is love and the power is love and the glory is love. Seek love in every situation and all these things will come naturally to you.


    The great revelation that is about to sweep the world and bring about the change of the whole world is not some mystery about aliens or secret powers or hidden information. The wave that is coming is the revelation of my love to all people. It truly is the only answer the world is missing. If you understood how much you are loved then my fullness would be in you, through you and around you at all time. Soon the whole world will be filled with the glory of my love and people’s hearts will melt because of that love. They will fall to their knees and come to know that I adore them just as they are. They will know that I love them and accept them and by seeing me as I am they will be changed into my image. As it is written when we see him as he is we shall be like him.


    So my loved ones, return to your first love. Be my little child and let me be a Father to you. A Father who loves you and cares for you and blesses you with all that I am. Don’t get bogged down in so called hidden wisdom. You don’t have to scour the internet looking for something to change things.


    My dearest ones, rest in who you already are and listen to me singing over you. Dance with me as I dance in you and around you because you are my beloved. Have you not read in the scriptures that I rejoice over you with singing?


    My loved ones, I have filled eternity with great gifts of my love made just for you. Each of you is my prized possession. Those of you with multiple children understand this. You adore each one and your love for each one is special. Your love burns for each of them but you bless them with different things because they have different likes. This is how I am with you. I gave you the desires of your heart just so I could give you what your heart desires. I want you to walk in pure bliss no matter what is going on around you.


    My little ones, it’s time to escape being hypnotized by what you see with your eyes. Look in your heart and spend time with me. Remember that it is written “This is love, not that we loved him but that he loved us.” Embrace my love for you and your love for me will grow.


    Turn off the world channel and turn on the love channel broadcasting forever from the spirit within you. Stop looking for a political or intellectual savior to make things better. You already have a savior and He already saved you. He has already given you all things but those things are inside you. It is not hard. If you seem to have a need then look inside and see that need already met in Christ and give thanks. Soon what you see on the outside will match what is true inside.


    No more twelve steps to this or that. Embrace the freedom already given you and be free. No more struggling to receive when you already have received. No more trying to build your faith so that you can have what is already yours. All things that pertain to life and godliness were already given to you as a gift of my love for you. There’s nothing left to do but give thanks.


    Once again my loved ones, those who try to sell you this future or that future are trying to get your help to create the future they want. I already told you the future. Just as my Son said “In earth as in heaven.” You don’t need any aliens to come save you. You don’t need some great politician or leader to save you. My son already did. You don’t need to win the lottery to become rich. Just give in to love and all that has already been given to you will flow though your life as living water. Fall in love with the one inside who healed you and you will experience the health that is already yours. Fall in love with the one who blessed you with all blessings and gave you his inheritance and you will see great blessings. Love is always the answer.


    Only three things are eternal: Faith, hope and love. The greatest is love. Return unto your first love and experience my glory. My love for you is glorious! I am Glorious Love and I am all you need! Never forget how much I adore you!



    These are 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

Fight The Storm or Sleep In The Boat

Matthew Chapter Seven

24. “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”



Mark Chapter Four

35. On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”



    Recently it seems like I and everyone I know have been going through trials and storms. There is one after another and sometimes it becomes unbearable. After praying and speaking to the storms and doing everything I could think of I finally reached the end of my patience  and I cried out “Lord, will you please stop these storms?” His reply got my attention very quickly when he said: “You should be asleep in the boat and the storms wouldn’t affect you.” So I asked him to teach me and he began to speak and I began to write down his words and here are his words, He said:


    My beloved one, why the frustration? Why the fear? Why the aggravation? Didn’t I tell you that you were going to the other side? Yes, sir, you did, I answered.


He again spoke and said to me and said:” My beloved one, I know those who taught you faith told you to speak to the storm and have faith that you could stop the storm. This is not the faith that I was teaching my disciples about. I had already taught them that storms would come but if they had built their lives on my words and my truth then the storms wouldn’t harm them. If they built upon the rock of my truth they would be safe.


    I asked them why they were afraid. I had already instructed them that we were going to the other side. I didn’t say we were going to drown or going to have to swim. I told them we were going to the other side. If they had believed me then they could have been at rest and not fearful. 

    I also have spoken these same words to you many times? It is written that I will be your help in times of trouble. I am your savior and your deliverer and I will keep you safe no matter what comes. So let me teach you about real faith.


    Real faith is not that you can speak to storms and they will obey. When I told them if they had faith they could speak to this mountain and tell it to be cast into the sea and it would obey, I wasn't teaching them about real estate. I was speaking of the temple mount and all its rules, regulations and bondage. If they had real faith that the Kingdom was at hand they would tell that temple mount to take a leap and rush headfirst into the kingdom. 

    Real faith is knowing that no storm could ever harm you. Most of the storms that come cause more fear than damage. Didn’t I tell you to cast all your cares on me because I care for you and I love you immeasurably? The teachers who taught you faith didn’t understand. As long as you practice speaking to storms you will always have storms to speak to. If you spent more time practicing peace than speaking to storms then peace would rule your heart, and the storms that come your way could not be powered by the fear in your own heart. If you spent more time practicing health instead of fighting sickness you would be much healthier. If you spent more time practicing my presence where there is fulness of joy and allowing  my joy to flow through you then depression would have no place in you.


    My loved one, as it is written in the letter to the Hebrews. He that believes has entered into rest. As long as you are trying to finish something then you will never rest in the truth that it is already finished. When faced with storms remember that you can enter into that rest and be beyond the storm or you can fear and fight storm after storm and grow weary and discouraged. 

    Do you remember from the story in the scriptures that as soon as the storm stopped they were immediately on the shore? I dwell in the finished realm beyond the storm. That is why I could rest in the storm. You can rest with me beyond the storm or you can choose to remain in fear and become weary of the storms.


    I told you through the scriptures. In this world you will have tribulations but be of good cheer for I have already overcome the world. You can war against the tribulations and trials or you can rest in me beyond the trials and troubles and live in peace.


    My dearest one, I want you to know that all things really do work together for your good. Even if the storm rages I will reverse the effects of the storm and cause great blessing to come your way. You can’t lose for winning.


    So take these words and proclaim them to all who will listen. Tell them for me and from me. Don’t be afraid. Don’t waste your energy stopping the storm. It could be that the wind from the storm will push you towards your destination. No matter what happens, I love you and I care for you and I will never leave or forsake you. You can lie down beside me in the boat and sleep and when you awaken the storm will be gone and you will be safe with me on the shore. It is your choice my beloved ones: You can fight the storm or you can sleep in the boat. An even if you choose wrong, I am still taking you to the other side.”


These are the words he gave me for all of us to share,
I hope you are encouraged by these words,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
Michael

Be Reconciled

Second Corinthians Chapter Five

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.



First John Chapter Four

7. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.



First Corinthians Chapter Thirteen

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

As I was praying today about how God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself and about how Paul said that we are ambassadors of reconciliation and our message is to tell people that God has reconciled them unto himself and all they need to do is be reconciled to him. So as I was praying about it Father spoke to me and said there is a way to measure. I asked him what he meant and he gave me the scriptures we just read, and then he began to speak and I listened and wrote down his words. Here are his words, he said:



My loved ones, it’s all finished! Your sins are forgiven and I am not counting any sin against you. You are free as free can be. I did all the reconciling that was needed to raise you into the heavenly beings that you are. There is no separation between us in the spirit realm. This was accomplished through my Son on his cross and by his resurrection. However your part is up to you. You can decide if you want to live as a resurrected, reconciled person or continue to live as if you are a prodigal child on the run from my love for you.


The easy way to reconcile your lives to me is by surrendering to love. Let love be the reason for all you do. You get to choose in every situation. In disagreements you can choose to demand that you are right or choose to love no matter who is right. If someone wrongs you then you can demand justice or you can show mercy and forgiveness and love those who mistreat you instead of demanding they pay. You can choose to walk in fear or you can understand that you are so perfectly loved that you could never be harmed. Even if they destroy your earthly body you are perfectly secure in my love.


The first step is to do as our beloved Paul told you. To come to know our love for you that passes all knowledge and be filled with our fullness. This means that you know without a doubt that you are completely adored and you become so full of our love for you that it overflows in all you do.


As you surrender to this love you will find yourself and all your actions matching what was written in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians about love. You will be patient and kind and forgiving and full of love for others because you understand that the only fault they truly have is ignorance of who they are. A person who doesn’t truly know who he is may act like anyone or anything. A person who knows he or she is a beloved child who is the object of our affection will live as a heavenly being.


Remember what was written: If one died for all then all died. The person you hate was already forgiven but because they haven’t chosen the road of reconciliation they still live in error. They are blind to the truth of who they are. This is why my Son prayed Father forgive them for they don't know what they are doing. This is still true today. Even the ones doing evil on purpose don't know. If they really understood who they are then they wouldn't do the things they do.

 

So my beloved ones, choose to allow who you are and all that you do to be reconciled to the truth. As it is written as he is so are you in this world. The true you is holy, righteous and loving. Allow yourselves to be reconciled to this truth. Stay focused on my love for you and that love will cut away all the dirt that covers your true light. Choose love over anger and fear and be reconciled.



These are 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

Return to Joy

Isaiah Chapter Twelve

3. With Joy you shall draw water from the wells of salvation.



    As I was praying today I heard Father speak this verse to me. I asked him what he was trying to say to me. He then began to speak and asked me to listen and write and publish his words for all to hear. Here are his words: He said:



    My beloved one, please listen and write and publish these words to all my beloved ones to encourage and strengthen them for many are struggling at this time.


    So I listened and started writing as He spoke and He spoke again and said.

    My loved ones: I know of the difficulty of this time. I know the world seems to be in chaos and it seems that anything that resembles normal has fled for the hills and insanity is rampant. These are normal circumstances when one age is ending and a new one is beginning.



    Here is the problem: Most of your understanding has been built upon lies and half truths. The ones you trusted to teach you taught you lie after lie, and condemned you to fall into the same pit they were falling into. As the lies are exposed the foundations that people built their sanity upon is crumbling. So many are in great turmoil.



    My Son told you that only houses that were built upon the rock would stand the storm and so many have built upon the shifting sand and their whole world is crashing down in this storm. Most people have built their whole lives around the ideas that those who call themselves teachers, preachers and experts actually knew what they were teaching. As all the lies are exposed then the first reaction is to panic and that is what is happening around you.



    Here is the good news. The world is being rebuilt upon truth. Anything that is not truth is being shaken and only those things which are built upon the truth will remain. When the shaking is done then rebuilding time can began and that is when I am going to need those of you who built their lives upon the rock to help those who didn’t build on the Rock to rebuild their lives.



    Remember my beloved. I am not trying to destroy people but only to destroy the lying systems that have kept them bound for years. I long for true freedom for all people. Remember that I long for all to come to the truth. Think of it this way. Would you love your child who can see more than you love a child who is blind?



    My firstborn told you that He is the way, the truth and the life. He is the only sure foundation and anyone telling you differently is either lying or ignorant of the truth. As it is written: “Every knee show bow and every tongue confess that he is Lord.” There is no other way.
My firstborn Son is the foundation of all truth.


    My loved ones please consider the scripture you just heard. I spoke it for a reason. So many of you have set your eyes upon the events taking place in the world and you have lost the joy of your salvation. It is time to remove your eyes from the world and look into the eyes of heaven. This will turn your fear and anger and sorrow into great joy.



    So my loved ones, here is what I want you to do. Find something that brings you great joy and enjoy it. For some it is travel, for some it is fishing or camping, for others it is gardening or building, for some it is listening to music. For some it is gathering with friends and family and enjoying each other's company. Whatever brings you joy when you do it is what I want you to do. 

    Doing things that bring you joy is the pump that pulls the water from the wells of salvation and delivers it into your natural world. It is written that a merry heart does good like a medicine so go and do the things that make you merry and let joy come alive in you again. You will also find that prayers mixed with joy and thanksgiving work better than those mixed with fear and sadness.



    My loved one; surrender your problems and worries to me and let me handle those things while you go about doing joyful things. Sing out loud and stir up the joy in your heart. Laugh until you cry and enjoy your lives again. Rejoice with loved ones that your names are written in heaven. Laugh at your problems. Yes that is right. Tell your troubles how big I am and how I delight in you being strong, healthy and wealthy. It is my great pleasure to give you the kingdom so delight in the joy I have because you are mine. A shout for joy can tear down the walls that imprison you.



    Don’t fear what is happening in the world. With every remodel the old must be torn down to make way for the new. Keep your eyes on me and take time to enjoy life. Watching every event in the world will not bring the change any faster. Don’t get bogged down in all that you see. Most of it isn’t real anyway. And most of all; don’t be divided one from another.



    This change is happening to the whole world. Everyone is facing some kind of drastic change but remember most didn’t go astray, they were led astray. If you judge and condemn those who are blind today it’s going to make it harder to teach them the truth in love tomorrow. If you love them while they are in error they will trust you to teach them in love when they awaken. Just be an observer, and not a judge. Love those whom religion has told you are unlovable, for I love each and every one.



    Don’t forget to do as my first born Son did. He endured the cross because he could see each of you on the other side. You are our joy and our delight. So look past the temporary troubles and look at the world of peace and delight that is coming. Look at those who are trapped in lies and deception and see what they will be like when they awaken to the truth of love. See past their chains and see them as you would see your own beloved children. As it is written “all shall know me from the least to the greatest.” Those in bondage today will be in freedom soon and they will need loving restoration to overcome the things they have done. Be a restorer, not a destroyer.



    Once more my beloved: Do things that bring you joy and you will see things get better for you quickly. Don’t dwell on the problem outside when the answer lives inside you. I am with you and will never forsake you. The waters of salvation are unlimited so use your joy and draw out all you want. Draw out not only enough for yourself but also for all those whom you love. Joy is contagious so spread it everywhere you go.



    These are 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, and I pray for each of you daily.
Michael
