First Corinthians Chapter Thirteen


If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.

When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.



First John Chapter Four


10. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.



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.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.



    As I was praying today all these verses started coming to my mind and I looked them up and wrote them down and as I did Father spoke to me and asked me to listen and write and publish his words. Here are his words. He said:


    My eternal ones who are the delight of my heart I need you to refocus your attention on the only thing that matters. The one thing is Love. I am love. It is not what I do; it is not an emotion that I have it is the burning fire that makes me who I am. My love for you is a consuming fire and it wants to burn away everything that is not its equal. You are a spirit born in my love so you are safe in the fire because you are the same fire. Your torch is lit with my own fire. We are one. Things in your lives that have burdened you like lies and sickness and disease and poverty are things that are not made of love and my fire will consume these things from your lives if you will only surrender them to me.


    Those who call themselves pastors and teachers try to teach you how to have faith and how to do miracles and they rehash programs after programs that never work. They have lost their way. I didn’t so want the world to have faith that I sent my Son. I didn’t so want the world to have miracles that I sent my Son. I so loved the world that I sent my Son. Any other reason would have been useless.


    My children when you wonder why you don’t see miracles and don’t see the things the early believers did you think it’s because you lack their faith. This is not the case. They surrendered to my love and gave themselves completely to my love and the powerful things they accomplished were not because of great faith but because of great love. To the point that my beloved one whom you call Stephen prayed for those who stoned him to death.


    So how did they come to understand this love? They were taught the true gospel. The true gospel is not you are a sinner and unless you repent you will burn forever. The true gospel is not that the world is going to hell and there’s nothing you can do about it. The true message is the message that we gave our beloved Paul. Here is the message that was delivered to those they preached to.


    Children of God, you may not know the one true God who created the heavens and the earth but he knows you. Not only does he know you but you were chosen by him before he even made the world. You stand before him perfectly loved and perfectly blameless. He came in Christ and reconciled you unto himself. He took away all your mistakes so you could have a clear conscience and not live in guilt. He never kept record of your wrongs but shed his own blood not to satisfy his own anger but so that you could have your conscience cleansed by it and forget the mistakes you made once and for all. You are already free and all you need to do is accept the gift he has given and run to him as a little child runs to the Father whom they have missed for way too long. You are no longer slaves to sins, habits or addictions. He has already made you free. You are no longer sick because he took your sins and sickness to his cross so that you don’t have to suffer any longer. Beloved ones leave your old ways behind and run headfirst into everlasting arms of love.


    This is the true message. Most of what you hear preached today is garbage. It comes from those who would use guilt to control you and to take your money from you. You were not born with a dead spirit that only comes alive if you say some magic prayer. You were not lost for eternity. I am the light that lights every man who comes into the world. I am the life, not one of the lives, so if you are living then it’s my life that is making you alive. Your understanding was dead and buried under generations of religious slavery but now you can arise and shine because your light has already come.


    Remember that you can’t give what you don’t have. You must fall into my arms every day and let me show you my glorious love for you. Once you know my love you will be rooted and grounded in truth. Truth makes you free. Once you know you are healthy you don’t need a doctor. Once you know you are wealthy you don’t need to be poor. Once you know that you are Gods from God you don’t have to listen to the garbage about just being a human. Once you grasp hold of my love then you will be filled mind, body and spirit with my fullness and nothing will be impossible for you. So fall into my love and surrender your problems to my truth. Love is my truth and there has never been even a second in time that you were not my beloved ones.


    When my people come home to the gospel of love then the things that accompany love will return. Health, wealth and everlasting joy will fill the lives of everyone.


    So my loved ones: As you were directed by our beloved Paul in his letter to the Corinthians; be my ambassador of reconciliation. Go tell the glorious news to those whom the church and the world have cast away. Love them and tell them that they are not rejected but are beloved and chosen. Tell them that my Son took away not only their sins but the sin of the whole world. Tell them they are already forgiven and loved and tell them I want to put a righteous robe on them and give them the shoes of gladness and take away the shoes of sorrow and wandering. I want to give them a party and have music and dancing. I want them to know they are welcome in my house. Will you do this my beloved ones? Will you tell them? Please do because I love them so much.


    Finally my lovely ones: Love never fails. Hatred does not heal. Anger does not heal. Revenge does not heal. Judgment does not heal. Only love heals and love heals all!


    Seek first my kingdom. I am love and the kingdom is the kingdom of Love. Throw away the garbage you have learned and come once again to your first love. Share the Glorious Gospel of Love with all that you meet. Love those who hate you. Be good to those who are evil to you. Keep no record of wrongs just as I keep no record of your mistakes. The great awakening of love will sweep the world. The awakening of the age of true love is knocking at the door. Will you answer?



    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

John Chapter Three

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



John Chapter One

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it.

A man came, one sent from God, and his name was John. He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

This was the true Light that, coming into the world, enlightens every person. He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and yet the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own people did not accept Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John testified about Him and called out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who is coming after me has proved to be my superior, because He existed before me.’” For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time; God the only Son, who is in the arms of the Father, He has explained Him.



First John Chapter One

1. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.



Second John Chapter One

7. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.



First Corinthians Chapter Fifteen

1. Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.



    As I was praying today all of these verses bubbled up in my heart and I knew Father was expressing himself so I asked if He wanted me to write down his words and He encouraged me to do so. So I listened and He began to speak to me concerning these scriptures. Here are his words. He said:



    My beloved ones: I need you to make sure that your faith is built upon a strong foundation as this great change in the world begins. In this day many are confused and some don’t have a clue what truth is. Yet others have discovered some truth so you find their message appealing but in other areas they have completely lost their way and are teaching falsehood.



    As many come to understand the symbolism that is written in the scriptures they lose the truth that yes the scriptures are allegorical and my Son only taught in parables but my Son himself is not a parable. Some would say that the people in scripture are just parables also and didn’t really exist. This is error. The lives of the people were symbolic but the people were real. The things they experienced are to help teach you but one day you will meet all of them and thank them for helping you to know me.



    My Son existed in the beginning. As it is written “all things were made by him and for him: Thrones, dominions, principalities, rulers and everything that exists is because of him and he holds all these things together by his power.”



    He was with me in the beginning. He became a real person just as each of you. He, just as you was a spirit in a fleshly body. He did exactly that which was spoken of him. He fulfilled all the scriptures as he even said that all the scriptures were written about him. If you lose fact that he was a living, walking, bleeding, suffering person then you have lost hold of the truth and are drifting free without an anchor.



    Many of my children who know the truth have lost their hold of reality and have been deceived by those who think that the universe is God or that there is just a cosmic power that is God when the truth is that I became a man to save all mankind from the deception that they are anything less than me.



    Many who know me have began using words like universe, life giving spirit, cosmic power or many other words just to appease those who don’t believe that I am God and yet I became a living person just as you. This will not help those who don’t know me to know me better. Don’t come down to their understanding. Bring them up to yours.



    Here is the problem. Many who believe in me don’t know me. I came to fellowship and to be more than your closest friend and you won’t understand my love if you leave out my personality. If you see me as just a cloud or a spirit or a power then you will never know me as the loving Father who adores you more than you can imagine.



    This is the missing part of the modern church. It is written that those who know their God will do mighty exploits. To know is an intimate term. To know about  me is not the same as knowing me. You may have met and know a thousand people but it’s only those whom you are intimately involved with that you truly understand.



    People search for truth in the scriptures and in teachings and in formulas but truth is a person and until you know the person you don’t really know truth. My Son told you “I am the way, the truth and the life and you can only come to know your father by knowing me.” It is not that those who don’t understand are not my children but they don’t enjoy the fellowship that those who really know me enjoy.



    As it is written “he who is joined to the Lord is One Spirit.” We are one but you discover who you are by knowing me. I want you to know who you are and to live like my children, full of life and joy and power but this only comes from fellowship with me. Knowing me teaches you who you are. Only fellowship with me teaches you how much you are loved.



    Here is an example. Suppose you had only read a book about your parents. You read all you could find about them and listened to everyone who knows them speak about them but you never spent any time with them. Would you really know them or would you just know about them? Yet those of you who had loving parents saw the sacrifices they made for you and you felt their embrace when you were afraid and heard them cheer for you even when you failed and you saw them stay up all night so you could sleep and heard them say “I love you” from the deepest part of their being. Wouldn’t you know them better than if you just studied them?



    This is the problem for many today. They want to be my children but don’t have time for me to father them. They are too busy to spend a few moments a day in a quiet place listening to me singing over them and rejoicing over them with tears of joy just because of my great love.



    My loved ones; all things are about to take a complete turn and those who don’t have their faith where it should be could be very confused. Yet if your faith is in my love for you and the absolute truth that I love you and sent my Son to save you and he became a man and lived and died and rose again to raise you up to his level and you walk with me and know me as a living breathing person then you will not be lead astray.



    I ask you a simple question. If you were in a storm would you rather hold on to a belief that you have or would you rather the hands that are scarred for you hold you securely? So many are in storms right now and they are quoting scriptures and claiming promises and hoping that something they say will save them. They believe in a system that religion has taught them to save them.  Others are asleep with me in the boat with their heads upon my chest and dreaming beautiful dreams because they know they are secure in me. They laugh and say "What a silly storm? This silly storm thinks it can affect me when I am completely one with the creator of all things?" I can’t even hear the storm because all I hear is my shepherd singing to me and telling me I am safe. Either situation is your choice. You can lose yourself in me and forget the storm or you can lose yourself in the storm and forget me.



    So my loved ones take a moment and test yourselves and see if your faith is in a belief system or in a person. Do you understand fully that my Son was born and lived a holy life and was crucified and resurrected and by doing so he is the savior of all mankind? Do you understand this on a personal level? Is your faith built upon what someone taught you or is in built upon the many hours you spent in intimate fellowship with the one who loves you most? Is my beloved firstborn Son just an idea in your head or is He the love of your life? Is He a story in a book or is He the beating of your heart?



    My loved ones I tell you these things because I love you. I want you to know me and not just know about me. I don’t mind you listening to the Psalms that David wrote but where are the songs you wrote because you experienced me in person? You can listen to songs that others wrote about me or you can hear me sing to you my love song that only you and I know the words to.



    My little lambs your safety is in me and not in what you have learned. I am your rock and your fortress but living in my secret place is your choice. I don’t lock my doors. I would never lock you in or out. You can choose to listen to the lies without or the truth within. You can listen to the storms of life or the songs of heaven. You can live in the lap of my luxury or in the want of the world. It’s all by choice. Choose life, choose love, choose safety by choosing to come into the secret place and know me. I will teach you all you need to know while you feel my embrace and are overcome by my everlasting love. Am I your idea, am I just a theory you believe in or am I your foundation?



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
