John Chapter Fifteen

12. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

13. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

14. You are my friends if you do what I command you.

15. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

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.

17. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.



     As I was reading these words today Jesus spoke to me and asked me to write down his words and share them with you. He said:

     My friends. I chose you to be my friends. I did not come to make you serve me, but to serve you and make you my friends, so that you would love and serve each other as I loved and served you.

     It is enough that you be like me. If you believe in me then you will become like me and will see that serving is ruling. This is not the way the world thinks, but this is the way heaven operates. Think of it this way: Why did I create the earth? Do I not live in heaven? Do I not have all things I need here? I did this for you because I love you. The earth is a gift to my friends.

     I came and gave my life, my blood, and my tears to save you because I love you and I chose you to be my friends long before the world began. You are my family. You were adopted through me to my Father and we are family. But my loved ones, we are more than family.

     Each of you has family and you have friends. Sometimes you are closer to your friends than you are your own kin. I came so that we could be both. I came so you could by my brother, or my sister and my friend.

     This is what I want you to be to each other. We are one body. I am the head and you are each members of that body, but I want you to be more to each other. Do you remember I said that they would know you are my disciples by the love you have for each other? This is how I want my kingdom to grow. You are my friend and I want you to be friends with each other.

     This is the beauty of friendship: You can meet someone you never knew, someone from far away, and yet you can become closest friends. This is heaven’s idea. It’s the highest relationship there is. I hear you say; what about a marriage? Marriage is a close relationship, but each of you know people who are married to each other but are not friends. You also know others who are married and are also best friends. Which is better?

     What we have in heaven is better. Our idea of relationship is to be beyond relationship. Yes, you are my family, you are my father’s children, you are my bride but you are also my friend. It is beyond anything you know in your earthly realm but I want to reveal it to you.

     So my loved ones, be my friend. Be friends to each other. Lay down your lives for each other as I have for you. Care for each other and see each other for the treasures that you are.

     I told my disciples in the verses you just heard that I wanted them to bear much fruit. What is this fruit? I want them to not only be my friends but go get me more friends. This is the fruit.

     This is the message of the gospel. Go tell people I love them and I want them to be friends with me and not friends with the world. Tell them I have already forgiven them and chosen them to be my friends. Tell them I did all that was necessary for them to be adopted into my family and become friends with me.

     Let them see the love you have for each other until they are jealous of that love. They will see your friendship with each other and they will want what you have. This is the way to lead the world to salvation. It’s not complicated; it’s just people loving each other and willing to share that love with everyone they meet.

     Will you do this my beloved ones? Will you love each other and show the world what friendship with God looks like? No more jealousy of each other’s gifts or talents. No more hatred and anger. Just love pouring forth for each other from pure hearts that are filled with my love.

     Will you please do this my loved ones? Will you show the world the treasure of friendship? Show the world that you are my treasure and my friend.



     This was the end of the words he spoke to me a few moments ago,
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael


PS: To all who are my friends, including my family. You are a treasure to me. I want you to know how thankful I am that Father loved me so much the he gave his only begotten son, and he also gave me a wonderful treasure called “you.”

Fellowship

     For an audio version of this message

please click the link below:

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

     First John One

1. What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life.

2. and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us,

3. what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed, our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

4. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

5. This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

6. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;

7. but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

9. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.



     As I was meditating on these verses today Father’s voice came to me and he asked me to share his words with you. He said:

     My little ones, I long for your fellowship. I long for you to relax and be yourselves, and put away all the religious garbage and just fellowship with me.

     As you read above, the only requirement for fellowship is walking in the light. This light is the revelation that my son was manifested into the earth to take away all your sin so that you could have fellowship with us. We did this because of our great love for you. My Son, my Spirit and I all dwell in perfect light. There is no darkness in us at all. We are complete in that light, and you are complete in us.

     Walking in the light means walking in the revelation that my son came in the flesh, lived a sinless life and was holy all the days of his life. Walking in the light is also admitting that you are cleansed from your past sins by the blood of my son, and believing that you too can live a holy and sinless life by walking with us in this light.

     Walking in this light is also the revelation that you are free and if you make a mistake then my son’s blood is what cleanses you, and not your own works. This revelation is knowing that my son did all that needed doing to save you from your sins. You can only be sinless if you abide in him and in his light. There is nothing you can do of your own accord that will keep you in this light. This brings glory to my son because he accomplished everything you need to walk in holiness and righteousness.

     So here is the problem my children. Religion gives you a bunch of rules and formulas and tells you that you must do this or that, or keep this rule or that rule to obtain this fellowship. But the truth is all you must do is believe in my son, and his righteousness is imputed to you so that you can live with his power of holiness and not your own.

     My beloved children, I want you to be free from all that religion and just fellowship with me. Stop looking at rules and regulations and formulas and processes and just talk to me like you would your natural father.

     I am not angry and I don’t want you to feel condemnation. There are two reasons why I want you to walk in the light. First, I dwell in light and cannot dwell in darkness, so for you to dwell with me you have to come over to the light. I want you to be with me where I am and I want you to have constant fellowship with me. I don’t want you in faraway darkness. I want you in my heart and in my presence continually, just because I love you.

     The second reason I don’t want you to walk in darkness is because it will destroy you. My gift to you is eternal life. I give you eternal life as a free gift. But if you choose to walk in darkness, you pass up my free gift of life, and choose to work for an evil master called sin. This evil master will make you think sin is fun, and after you partake of it he will give you death as payment for it. I give you eternal life as a gift and he makes you his slave and pays you by killing you. What parent would want their child to work for someone like that?

     Oh my loved ones. Hear not just my words, but hear my heart also. I want your fellowship. This is what my Son’s life and death and resurrection was about. It was about bringing my prodigal sons and daughters back to me. It was about rescuing you from that evil taskmaster named sin, and bringing you home to my love.

     Jesus is the way the truth and the life. He is the way back home to me. He is the truth that demonstrates how much I love you and want you home with me. He is the life that you can step into and live in fellowship with me. It’s always about fellowship with me. I love you more than you can even imagine and I want your attention, and I want to shower you with my goodness.

     I told you through Paul in Ephesians Chapter Two that I raised you up with my son so that I could show you my kindness throughout all ages. I long to pour out wonderful things into your eternal life so that you can know how much you are loved.

     Will you believe my message my loved ones? Will you believe that I loved you so much I was in Christ on that cross reconciling you to myself? I was not angry with you and not wrathful towards you. I was in Christ on that cross pouring out my love for you so that our fellowship could be restored.

   Please my loved ones, put away all the religious lies you have been told. Know that you are loved and you are welcome to fellowship with your loving father. Walk in the light. Give me all the darkness that troubles you and let me destroy it with light. Let my son’s blood continually keep you clean so that you won’t be ashamed of yourself. I was never ashamed of you so don’t be ashamed if you make a mistake. Just admit it and stay in the light. Your enemy wants you to feel like you are naked so that you will hide from me. Don’t give in to his tactics. If you make a mistake, run to me and not from me.

     You are always welcome to stand in the light with me and my son. Don’t ever feel ashamed but feel grateful because my son took your shame away and made you able to stand freely in fellowship with me. Please no more religion, I am not a religion, I am your family. Treat me as family. Talk to me, sing with me laugh with me and lets just love each other like family. This is fellowship, and it is my gift to you.



     This was the end of the words He spoke to me at that moment.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all

Strengthened

Ephesians Chapter Three

14. For this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15. Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18. May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

20. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

21. Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.


     Sometimes it’s easy to forget that we are not human beings, but we are spirits born of God who happen to be living in these earth capsules we call bodies. We get so caught up in the body and dealing with things of the body such as weakness and illness and the pressures and stresses of the world, that we forget who we really are.

     While praying about these things Father spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you.
 He said,

     My loved ones. I know it’s easy to lose focus and forget who you are. You are not mere mortals living and dying like those who are not born again. You were born again of incorruptible seed and you are spirit beings and not just earth-bound people. Many of you have become weak because you are connected to the wrong source.

     As I told you through Paul, you can be strengthened with all might by my Spirit in your inner being. This comes by staying focused on my spirit and fellowship with my Spirit. It is my Holy Spirit that is the river of living water inside you. If you don’t continually drink from this river you will become dry and weak.

     I gave you my son as the bread of heaven. You get your nourishment from him by fellowship and communion with him, and you get your refreshing drink from my spirit. Just as in the natural realm if you don’t eat or drink you become weary and weak. It’s the same in my spirit. Many crave food and drink in the natural and they eat and drink and never get full because they don’t realize that it’s me that they are hungry and thirsty for.

     I know many of you believe that once you accept my son and are born again you never have to eat or drink again. If that were the case, why did my son tell you to ask for daily bread? He said that he had living water that would cause you to never thirst again. What he meant that he would put the source of that living river inside you. You can have water with you and die of thirst if you never drink it.

     Jesus told you that if you didn’t eat his flesh and drink his blood you would not have life. I told you through Paul that many are weak and die because they don’t commune with me in the spirit. They believe communion is just a natural act and has no spiritual meaning. They don’t see communion as a holy, spiritual event and they treat it as just a natural tradition This is how they take it unworthily.

     They don’t see the worth of communion with my son. Many don’t partake of it spiritually and only think it pertains to their physical bodies. They don’t realize that that are breaking bread with the King of Glory. Could you imagine if you did an earthly king this way? Imagine you were invited to break bread with your president. Would you not be full of joy that you were invited to his table, and would you treat it as a casual dinner?

     Do you remember when Jesus was at the well and the disciples went to get food and Jesus told them he had meat to eat that they didn’t know about? He said to do my will was his food. What was my will? Not the works he did, those were just him sharing his food, but as he told you before, I am looking for those who will worship in spirit and in truth. Constant communion and fellowship with me is the highest form of worship. This is done in the realm of the spirit and not in the natural realm.

     You must see your lives as spiritual lives and not natural lives. You must learn to commune with us as one spirit, and as you do you will become very strong. You will be strengthened with might in your spirit by my spirit. This is easy. It’s just staying connected that charges you up.

     Think of it this way. You know how it feels to see a loved one you haven’t seen in a long time? That feeling of refreshing you get as you talk about old times and remember the good times? It’s like that in the spirit realm. Your spirit is recharged each time you take time to connect with me on that level.

     Now for the great news. Once you let me strengthen you with might in your inner man it creates a place that my son can dwell fully in you. When he does you come to know his love for you that passes all knowledge. It can’t be known with your mind. It’s a heart thing.

     As you come to know this love then you understand the height, the depth, the width, the length, and the endless supply of that love. When you comprehend this love, you sink your roots down deep into it and no one will ever pull you up and replant you. Your roots will be down into the water of the Spirit and you will become that tree planted by the water that we spoke of in scripture.

     When you become this tree not only will you always have the strength of my love and the refreshment of my spirit but you will begin to bear much fruit. Righteousness, peace and joy and goodness and all good things will flow from your lives and others will come to you to taste the fruit that I produced through you.

     My loved ones, these things will only happen as you stay connected to me and focused on me. Jesus said that he only did what he saw me doing. He walked on the earth, and lived a life on the earth, and saved the world, but he never took the eyes of his heart off of me.

     Please my beloved ones. Fellowship with my Spirit and be strengthened. Eat the daily bread. That bread is the revelation of my son. Ask for more revelation of him each day and chew on that revelation until you are full. Drink deep from the water of my Spirit, and grow my precious trees, grow!



     This was the end of the words 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

Jeremiah Chapter 29

11. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

12.Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.

13. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

     As I was meditating on these verses today Father’s voice came to me and he asked me to write down these words and share them with you.

     He said:

     My loved ones. It is time to get back to the heart of all things. So many of you wander from place to place and from preacher to preacher, trying to find a way to get back to where you already are.

     Your enemy has deceived you and made you feel like you are lacking something and you need more knowledge to be like me. This is the original lie and the original sin. When you were born again you were made in my image and my likeness. You couldn’t be any more like me than you already are in the spirit. We are one spirit and not two.

    Here is the problem, you are searching with your head for what you already have in your heart. I saved the world because I love you. I sent my son because I love you. 

I gave you my Spirit because I love you. 

I bless you because you are mine and I love you. 

I will make your dreams come true because I love you. 

I will save your children because I love you. 

I have taken away your sin and disease because I love you. 

I created heaven and eternity for you because I love you. 

I made all of creation to give you something to reign over 

because I love you. 

I defeated your enemies because I love you. I do all things because I love you.

     So why do you go down the religious trail and try to use a formula to get me to do something? Why do you still think you can earn anything from me? If I didn’t hold back my son but offered him us to save you, then why do you think I am the one holding back any good thing from you.

     Your so-called teachers sell you the latest package of things you can do, to get me to do something for you, that I already did for you before you were born. 

    Let me ask a question of those who have children. Did they have to prove themselves to earn your love or did you love them from the moment you found out they were in the womb?
When they were born did you set them aside and say “I will not provide for them unless they believe in me and never make a mistake? Do they have to pray every day and stand in faith so that you will feed them and clothe them or do you do so just because you love them? Did they have to prove they were lovable before you decided to do all you could to give them a good future? Or did you have great love in your heart and great plans for them before they could even really know who they are?

     When someone sees your child and tells you that your child looks like you, do you tell that person it is because the child is studying you and learning to become like you? Do you tell them it’s because your child prays to you every day and asks you to make them look like you?

     Doesn’t this sound silly? They look like you because they are your children. Do you spend hours each day telling your child all the things they are not, or do you spend time telling them you love them and bonding with them so they will know they are loved and know who they are?

     This is the biggest problem in my church. Religion has stolen your identity from you. I said that you are my children, created in my image, created for good works, seated with my son in the heavenly realm. Justified, sanctified, glorified, and religion tells you that you are a dirty rotten sinner barely saved by a grace that just barely powerful enough to overcome your rottenness and save you.

     Those religious people who say those things say it in ignorance. They don’t realize that when they say those things they are insulting my son, his blood, and his cross. They are saying his blood wasn’t really enough to change people and there is more work needed to accomplish their salvation.

     It’s time to repent and believe the gospel. The reason I want you to believe the gospel is because it’s the truth. Religion did the same thing when it hijacked the so-called faith message. The message isn’t “believe” and you will become. The message is not “believe” and you will receive. It’s believe you already have these things because it came with your inheritance you received when my beloved firstborn shared it with you.  The message is “believe” it, because it’s the truth already. You are my child and you already possess all that you need.

     When I told you that when you stand praying to believe that you will receive. The message is that I have already given you all things that pertain to life and godliness and you lack nothing. A prayer of faith is not in asking, but in giving thanks because you know I have already given you the answer before you could even think about asking. This is truth. Faith isn’t a process, it is a person.

     It’s time to take my church back to the truth. I love you and I gave all I had to get you. I will never withhold any good thing from you. I do all I do because of love and because my heart is filled with love for you. What I need in return is for you to accept that love and be filled with that love until it overflows into the world around you. 

     All these things that you seek are already yours, but you will only be able to enjoy them when you realize you didn't earn them, and you accept them freely as a gift of my love for you.

     So stop trying to be who you already are. Awake unto righteousness and sin not. You don’t have to struggle to stop sinning. Just wake up to the fact that you are a righteous, holy being made in my image. Once you know who you are then you will do what righteous, holy beings do. You will live in righteousness and holiness because it’s not what you do, it’s who you are.

     You don’t have to struggle to become like me. You are just like me already. The only difference between you and Jesus is that he knew he was my son, and you are still doubting the fact that you are my child. By grace you were saved though faith and that not of yourselves it was my free gift. You were adopted by me because I love you. The only thing you had to do with it was when you agreed to be adopted.

     Get back to the heart of the truth. It’s all about love. Stop buying the latest offer that religion has to sell you and build a relationship with me. It’s not about a formula for success. It’s about how to awaken to who you already are. You are my beloved child in whom I am well pleased. No more doubting. No more disbelief. Just faith that the blood of my son was the only payment ever needed to redeem you back from your religious kidnappers.

     I love you my children, I always have and I always will. Please love each other also.

     This is the end of the words He spoke to me at that moment.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time.
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

It's Not About Your Problem: It's About His Promise

For an audio version of this message

please click the link below:

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

Romans Chapter Four

18.Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping and believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”

19. And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.

20. Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.

21. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.



     While meditating on these verses today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down his words and share them with you.
He said,

     My loved ones, it’s not about your problems; it’s about my promise. I chose you and saved you and set you apart just so I could love you as my own, and bless you just because of that love. I know many of you are facing struggles and problems that seem large, but they are no match for my love and my promise.

     All people face problems just as Abraham did. He was a hundred years old and his wife was way past the ability to have children. Doesn’t that seem like a large problem to you? But here is the secret. Abraham believed that I had ability beyond natural means. He was convinced that I could do whatever I promised.

     So why was he convinced? Some of it was the encounters he had with me in visions and dreams, but most of it was because he discovered that time and time again I delivered him from his problems. Even before Isaac was born he fought battles with enemies and fought the harsh conditions of wandering and living in tents in the wilderness, and not to mention the hardship of being a herdsman in those conditions.

     Most of all he fought off humiliation from others. Can you imagine telling others you are the father of many nations? They ask you how many children you have and you have to tell them none yet, but they are on the way. Many people laughed at him and said “that old many is crazy. He is old and his wife his old, he can’t have children.”

     You fight the same problems. You have dreams that seem to be too far out to even share with people. Some of you have shared your dreams only to have people laugh at you and tell you it’s never going to happen. They will give you a thousand reasons that it will never work but you only need one that it will. All you need is my promise.

     Sometimes it is the people who are closest to you that laugh at your dreams. Even Sara laughed when I told them they would have a son. So, I laughed, and told them to name him Isaac, which means to laugh or to mock. It will be the same with you. I will get the last laugh when all the things I promised you for your life come to be, and others stand in amazement.

     There is nothing that is in the least bit difficult for me. Don’t forget all of your circumstances exist inside the world that I created. If I created the heavens and the earth don’t you think I can handle anything that exists inside my own creation?

     What I want my beloved ones is for you to take your eyes off your problems and put them on my promises. I promised I would never leave you or forsake you. I promised to be for you and to never be against you. I promised that I will sustain you in hard times. I promised that I would take you to a green pasture of my grace and let you eat your communion meal with me while your enemies are forced to watch your victory meal from a distance. I am your Father, your God and your Friend. I will not fail you nor will I forget you. I will lead you out of your troubles and into my glory. I have a plan for your life and it is a good plan. All I need you to do is trust me.

     I will make faith simple for you. I told you that if you become humble as a small child you will see my kingdom in power. Here is how the faith of a small child works: When someone asks you why you believe your dream will come to pass you simply say; Because my Father promised and he doesn’t lie.

     It really is that simple my loved ones. Take your eyes off your problems. Do like Abraham did. Don’t consider your body as good as dead. I can raise the dead. Death means nothing to me. You are my child and you have passed from death to life and death has no power over you.

     Trust me my beloved ones. I am able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all you can ask or think or even imagine in your wildest dreams. Think about Abraham again. You are hearing these words because he believed in me. Because he dared to trust me against all odds faith entered the earth, and because of that faith my righteous son was able to enter the earth and save you.

     It's not about your problems my beloved. It is about my promise. Keep these words in your heart and when your enemy tells you it’s hopeless, you tell him the God of all hope promised you, and it will be according to the promise. There is a cross to prove that I keep my word and an empty tomb to prove that it’s never too late.

     I love you dear children, please love each other, and love those who are unlovable. For I love each and every one. 

     This was the end of the words 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

     While praying this morning Jesus spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you.

He said:

     My loved ones. It’s time to know me in a way beyond your senses. Most of you are listening for a voice or looking for a vision, but I want you to know me by becoming one with me. This is the reason I came and saved you and delivered you and brought you into my kingdom. I came not searching for servants and workers, but came looking for a bride and even more…

     There is a way to know me beyond a voice, beyond a vision or beyond any senses that you are familiar with. This is what being one with me is all about. You are chosen to know me as you are known. Just as I told you that I and my Father are one. I want you to know what that is like. I want you not only to hear my voice and see with my eyes, I want you to know me in Spirit and truth.

     It’s time to stop focusing on the natural senses and start developing your spiritual senses. In the spirit realm, you exist inside me. In me you live and move and have your being. We are not two in this realm, we are one already. I want your minds to surrender to me also, so that you can know me fully and understand who you really are.

     There is a much higher level of consciousness that religion has blinded you to. There are ways beyond seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and feeling. These are natural senses, but there are senses only known to the heart that you can learn to live by. For example: Rest a moment and sense my love for you. Not by hearing me saying it but by feeling it with your heart. Which is better, to hear the one you love the most tell you they love you from far away, or feeling them wrap their arms around you and hold you without saying a word? There are feelings and emotions and things that can’t be expressed by words.

     I don’t just want you to love me and me to love you. I want you to become love. I want you to experience my love in a spiritual way so that you will not only know love but will become the living expression of my heart.

     These things can never be experienced unless you are willing to step up into the realm where your spirit dwells. You can’t get here by natural means, or by keeping rules and regulations, or by trying to be something that you are not. You must surrender your mind to the fact that you are accepted in the beloved. You are washed in my blood and are already perfected in the realm where I dwell.

     Think of it this way. Your body is like the garment you wear in the earth. If your shirt gets dirty because you work in the garden does that mean that you are full of dirt inside your spirit? Of course, it does not. You are clean because I made you clean. I told you to come boldly to my throne of grace. It’s not a throne of judgment.

     By learning who you are in the spirit you will learn to separate yourselves from the things of the world. You can’t fight dirt by condemning dirt. Living in my holiness comes from living and being aware that you are a spirit and not a body. You are no longer in the first man Adam who was made of dirt. You are born of me, who is spirit, and you are spirit. Learn to live as a spirit and learn to live in my love so that we can be one.

     John was in the spirit and a door was open in heaven. This door is always open. It has been open since I tore the veil in half that separated the natural world from the spirit world. You are seated with me in the heavenly realm. Your sprit lives in the heavenly realm and in your body at the same time. Think of it like a submarine. If you are in a submarine, are you in the ocean? Yes, you are. But you are a submarine too. You are in your body, but the spirit realm is all around you like the ocean.

     So you may ask, how do I step into this realm of consciousness? I am the door. I am the way, the truth and the life and you entered already when you were born again. To be absent from the body is to be present with me. What happens when the body dies? The person is no longer conscious of their body but is conscious of me. Who told you that you have to die to be in heaven. You are here already, but need to have your heart opened to see. My kingdom is a kingdom of love, it must be seen with the eyes of the heart, and not the natural eyes.

     As you become more awake to the truth that you are a spirit and you are not deformed you will experience being one with me. Your spirit has eyes and ears and senses. But even your sprit senses are not the limit. I want us to be one. I came to take your place so you could come live in mine. The biggest lie ever told was that you can’t enjoy heaven until you are dead. I lived and was conscious in both realms at the same time, and you can be also.

     John experienced heaven, Paul was caught up into this realm, Stephen saw me standing at Father’s right hand. All through the scriptures people saw me and experienced me but you have settled for lie that you can’t know me until you die. You died already. You were crucified with me, but you live. You died a death with me on that cross and you were raised into a spirit life with me and you can not only see me, but you can become one with me. We can become one heart, one mind, one being. Me in you is the hope of glory. You in me, is the cry of your heart.

     Paul understood this was a great mystery that I would leave heaven and become one with my bride on the earth. Are you willing to leave your religious mindset and become one with me in heaven?

     Come beyond the voice my loved ones and become aware that you are already one with me. I love you more than words can say, more than pictures can reveal. I am your tender lover softly tapping on the door of your heart, trying to get you awake to experience my love for you. Will you awaken my love?



     This was the end of the words 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

Genesis Chapter Two

5. When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 

6. and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground

7. then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

Ezekiel Chapter Thirty-Seven

1. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. 

2. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3. And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.” 

4. Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 

5. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 

6.And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”

7. So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 

8. And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them.

9. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 

10. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

Acts Chapter Two

1.When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 

2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.



     When I woke up this morning these verses came to me. I know it seems like they may be scattered but as I was meditating on what these verses could mean I saw in a vision a valley like the one in Ezekiel, full of dry bones. But these were not dead bodies, but dead dreams. As I watched to see what would happen I heard Father’s voice and he asked me to write down his words and share them with you.

He said,

     My loved ones, so many of you have let your dreams die. Many of you have grown weary because they didn’t come to pass in the time you expected, so you just cut them off from my breath and let them die. Did you see in the scriptures you just heard in Ezekiel, the bones were dead but I didn’t just raise them up, I told my prophet to speak over them and prophesy to them? This is how it works. You prophesy over them, and my Spirit comes and puts breath in them.

     This is why your dreams die. You give up on them and you stop declaring my promise about them. You stop talking about them and you stop treating them as if they are a living thing, and you treat them like they are some inanimate object. 

     Dreams are a living thing. They are not a dead thing. I gave them to you as a promise. You must speak over them and talk about them and keep them alive in your heart. Just because it takes a long time doesn’t matter. 

     Do you remember when the angel spoke to Mary and told her about the conception of Jesus? Do you remember it says that she pondered these things in her heart? You should ponder all of my dreams and promises that I give you.

     Here is what I want you to do my loved ones. I want you to see your dreams as if they were children. Nurture them, speak to them, talk to them. Become involved with them. Don’t just stick then on a shelf and forget about them. Fellowship with them.

     So my loved ones, here is your assignment today: Make a list of all your dreams. Write them down and name them. Not just dream names. Name them as if they are people. Do what you must do for them to be real in your heart.

     Once that is done I want you to be my prophets. Speak over your dreams and prophesy over them. Call forth my breath to come and bring them back to life. Watch what I will do. I will bring them to life and will cause them to come to pass. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been. I am not limited by time or space or any lack of resource. I am Almighty and will reveal myself to you as the one who restores. If I can raise a dead body, then do you think it is difficult for me to raise a dead dream?

     I love you so much my children, and I gave you your dreams as a gift of my love. Imagine seeing yourselves standing before me with your hands open and I give you something. What did I give you? I gave you a dream. Now it’s up to you to keep it alive and water it with my promises and my love. Speak to it, nurture it, and be happy about it and be proud of it.

     This is my promise to you, if you will do as I instruct you then I will send my breath and breathe new life into your dreams. I will raise up your dead dreams and bring them to pass. But just as they say on your television; But wait, there is more.

     Many of you have loved ones, who are in heaven now, had dreams that never came to pass. You can lay hold of their dream also and I will bring it to pass for you. I will do this to honor your loved ones. I wanted their dreams to come to pass for them and there will be great delight in heaven when they find out you laid hold of their dream and brought it back to life. Do this to honor your loved ones.

     Think of it this way. Abraham’s promise was that he would become the Father of many nations. But what if Isaac decided he didn’t want children? Do you see how he brought life to his father’s dream? You can do the same. Honor those whom you love that are now with me. Speak to their dreams also. Call forth my Spirit to breathe life into their dreams and watch what I do.

     The breath I breathed into the dust brought forth a man named Adam. The breath I breathed at Pentecost brought forth a church. The breath I am about to breathe into the earth will produce heaven on earth. So be excited and be ready.

     Ezekiel was not the breath or wind that blew, but he called it into the valley. The apostles were not the breath that blew into the room at Pentecost, but they called him to where they were praying. My Spirit is my breath and you can call him to come breathe on your dreams and on your life. He would love nothing more than to bring your dead hopes and dreams back to life. I am a life-giving Spirit and there is no death in me. Everything I touch comes to life. So, call me by speaking to your dreams. Your speaking is not the life, but your speaking calls forth the life into your dream.

     I love you so very much my children and I long to see you and for you to see me; in your dreams.
  

This was the end of the words 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
