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

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

Love is My Glory

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
