John Chapter Sixteen
13. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
John Chapter Seventeen
15. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
Mark Chapter Seven
13. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
John Chapter Four
24. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
Early this morning Holy Spirit started speaking these verses to me in this order. I pondered what the reason was for them being in this order. As I was thinking about it and listening I heard Father speak to me and He asked me to listen and write and share with all who will listen. He said:
My little ones, are you worshipping in truth or tradition? Are you living in truth or tradition? Are you willing to let go of your traditions so that you can understand truth?
My loved ones think about your lives. Why do you do what you do? Why do you think what you think? Why do you live as you live? Are you living from the leading of my Spirit or from the traditions that you are handed down? Do you believe everything that those who are of the world tell you without even questioning if it is true?
Think about the early Church. They had no official organization. They had no bible to quote. The New Testament bible you have wasn't written until hundreds of years later. Most couldn’t read or write but they healed the sick and raised the dead and turned the world upside down. So how did they do it?
They lived by the voice of Holy Spirit. They lived by revelation and not by tradition. There are so many traditions of men that have sneaked into your lives that did not come from me. If you sincerely take a look at your lives you are living more by habit than by revelation. These traditions cause you to walk in failure and not in power.
Do you remember that Jesus asked Peter who do you say that I am? Peter said “you are the Christ.” Jesus told him this didn’t come from man but came from having a revelation from me. He then told Peter that the whole church would be built upon the rock of direct revelation from heaven. This hasn’t changed.
Most of your churches are built on tradition and on popular fads. You sing three fast songs and three slow songs and then when people do shake off the world and tune into the Spirit it’s time to stop all that and take up an offering. It’s time for the Pastors to pimp me out and use the truth of my Spirit to make you think that you need to give something to keep that feeling going. Their whole purpose of getting you to let go in worship and to awaken in Spirit was not to connect you to your heavenly home but to get you to give more.
Then once they have your money, it’s on to a twenty eight minute rehash of the same slop you had last week and then send you back to your habitual lives so you can grind out more money to bring next week. My loved ones; how much longer will you tolerate this?
Yet it’s the same in your everyday life. You do things because others do things. You follow the crowd so that you won’t feel like you are odd. Do you not realize that it’s the crowd who is odd?
It’s time to question all that you do and everything you have built your lives upon. You can’t live by worldly traditions and walk in heavenly power. All the tradition in the world cannot save one life.
Are you afraid to ask yourself the hard questions? Why would you be? Do you already know the answer? Are you working the job you have because I led you there, or are you there because someone told you that this is where you belong? Do you drive the car you drive because you believed it’s what you needed or because someone told you that it was best for you?
My loved ones, it’s not about micromanaging your lives. You are free and free to choose what you want to do but you have made yourselves slaves to the system of the world because you make all your decisions based on tradition and not revelation.
It’s time to awaken. You are not worldly. You are heavenly. Inside you is Almighty God and your life should flow out from there instead of from outside in. I am the only one who truly knows who you are. No one else can even describe you. You listen to the world and you are just a number to them. You are a vote or a customer or a demographic but to me you are EVERYTHING!
So why am I telling you all these things? It’s so that you can see that you can come up higher. You can live above all the fray of the world and walk in the Spirit with me. You can live in the heavenly realm while upon the earth. I called you to be Kings and Priests not slaves to the world. As long as you live in the tradition of men and not the traditions of God then you will suffer from the world you live in.
Think of my beloved Jesus. He lived upon the earth and suffered the same way as you. He worked and sweated and when it was time my Spirit empowered him to live his true identity. He then walked as man and God upon the earth. He had power over all sickness, death and disease and nothing was impossible for him. This same Spirit lives in you. You are just like him except tradition has taught you that you are just lowly humans and humans suffer from human problems.
My loved ones; there is a better way. You can set aside your traditions and listen to my Spirit. You were promised that Holy Spirit would lead you into all truth. You can live without even one lie affecting your world if you are willing.
Consider this: because of tradition you can sit in a dead church service for two hours but to sit alone and pray for two hours is a chore for you. Why is that? It’s because tradition has trained you. You can work at a dead end job for years knowing that it’s not what you want to do or have to do but you do it because tradition tells you that if you follow your dreams you will fail financially.
Here is great news. We are ready when you are! When you are ready to ask yourself every time you think a thought or do something “why did I do this?” Then we will be ready to empower you to change. If you will really truthfully consider this you will find that most of your life is lived out of habit and tradition and not from revelation.
Are you ready my loved ones? Are you ready to live from heaven while standing upon the earth? Are you ready to be more alive than you have ever imagined? Are you tired of crawling when you know you can fly? It’s truth that makes you free so it’s time to find out the truth. Are you living by truth or by tradition?
This is the end of the word He spoke to me this morning.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael
