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
