To Love or Not To Love?

     An audio version of this message will soon be available at the link below:

     As I was praying today my beloved savior spoke to me and asked me to write down his words and share them with you. All that I ask is that you do not hear me but hear him. Don’t read these words with your natural eyes or hear them with your natural ears. Hear him speaking directly to your heart. You will find that these words were already in you and I just directed you to them.

He said:

     My little children do not be afraid. I know many of you hear rumors of this thing or that thing and it is so hard to know truth when being bombarded with lies. So shut down your outside ears for a time each day and listen to what I am teaching you in your heart. I told you that I would write my laws on your hearts and in your minds. I am writing from within not from without. 

     What laws am I writing? I am writing the perfect law of liberty. Why is it perfect? It is perfect because it is the law of love.

     The law is of liberty because love can only be by choice. I had to make you free to choose me because if you choose for any other reason but love then it is not true love. No one truly loves anyone whom they are forced to love. I made you free so that you could stand in perfect liberty. In your liberty if you choose to give yourselves to me then I know you do it because of love and not because you are afraid of the consequences of making the wrong choice. For freedom I made you free.

     This is why the law of Moses could not perfect anyone. It was based on punishment and reward. You were rewarded for doing right and punished for doing wrong. This does not lead to love. 

     However in the New Covenant you were blessed with all spiritual blessings in heaven and you were chosen in the beloved before you were ever born and before you ever did good or evil. Your sins were taken away at the cross long before you were even born in the earth so you were born free. This way you get to look into my eyes in perfect freedom and you can choose me or reject me.

     It is the same with any question or temptation in your life. All things are lawful for you but not all things are good for you. You are free to choose. Choices have consequences but not from me. I love you either way if you choose to stay in freedom or give in and become a slave to sin and temptation. You get to choose the gift which is eternal life or you get to choose the wages of the sin master.

     I came that you have life and life more abundantly. I didn’t come to punish but to save. Salvation is a choice. All men were baptized into my death but not all have received the revelation of the resurrection. They continue to live as dead men ignoring the life that is available. Because religion has told them that they are cursed and hated by heaven they live in rebellion against the wrong power. They rebel against me when they should rebel against religion and sin.

     So why am I repeating this beloved ones? I hear many say that this is the same message as before but a good teacher repeats the lesson until all learn it. When you were a child someone taught you that two plus two is four. Until you actually took four objects and divided them in half and then added them back together it was just a fact you knew, but it was not a truth that you understand. So many in my church think learning is the object of the lesson, but it is not it at all. Understanding is the purpose.

     Another example: For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Most of you could quote that when you were four years old. But have you ever broke it into pieces to understand it? Have you looked at the broken world and looked at my Father in heaven gazing lovingly at the world knowing that He would send me to save it? Have you then looked at me leaving heaven to be born into the broken world because of love? Facts don’t become truth until you completely understand who, what, when, where and why.

     This is why as Paul said many were still learning when they should have been teaching. Learning facts is not the answer. Learning truth is the answer. I AM that Truth! As I am so are you in the world. We are not separated but we are one. I AM Your Mirror! Whatever that is in you that looks like me is truly you. Whatever is in you that doesn’t look like me is a lie and must be removed. Until you look in a mirror and see yourself as me then you don’t know the whole truth.

     So how do you remove that which is not of me and not of you? You let me write my truth in your heart and in your mind. You surrender to my love and I will do the rest. You see yourselves as the beloved and you let my love wash you as I speak words of love to you.

     This begins now. It is time to see yourselves as glorious and step out of the dark days of religion and make yourselves ready. Wash yourself in my love words. Bask in the water of my Spirit until all that remains of you is just like me. You are clean because of the words I speak to you. What do I speak to you? I say, you are clean. Truth removes lies. When you know the truth about who you are then you will no longer live the lie. Truth must be revealed. The Lie Must Die.

     Religion and bondage could never take you there. I came and set you free from your captivity and did so in hopes you would see me as your deliverer and fall in love with me. I didn’t come to find a bride; I came because you are my bride. The only problem was that you didn’t know it. It is time to know who you are and why you are here. It is time to set aside all the condemnation and frustration and rest in my love until you know your true identity.

     The world spews condemnation and filth into your ears and eyes to make you deaf and blind. I pour light and truth into your heart to make you hear and see. This is why I said "to him that has will more be given and to him who has not, what he seems to have will be taken away." What did I mean? I meant hearing and seeing. To him who is careful what he hears more will be given. To him who does not hear with his true ears, all that he has will be taken away bit by bit by the lying world. Their lies will slowly steal all that you have beginning with your peace.

     But you have ears to hear and you have eyes to see on the inside, so let me add revelation of the truth and you will understand who you are and will learn to embrace all the things I have given you already. 

     All things are already yours but the revelation of how to access them and use them has not come because you were learning facts and not truth. You were memorizing scriptures and not turning them into understanding. The devil knows the scriptures and has no clue who I am. The pharisees knew the scriptures and didn't recognize me when we were face to face. 

     Which is better? Reading the words to a love song, or having your true love sing it to you?
From now on each time you read a scripture ask yourselves why this is true. It’s not enough to be engaged to the truth. You must marry the truth. 

     All the answers you learn will come back to one simple message and all can understand. We loved the world and everyone in it. We did what we had to do to make all free so that all could choose. 

     The grace of God unto salvation has appeared to all, but one abides alone until two become truly what one was meant to be. It’s not enough to know I love you. You must marry me to find out how much. I have chosen you, will you freely choose me?

     I made you free. You can choose or not choose. You can look at the sweet wine or you can taste and see how much you are loved. You can look at perfect love or you can become one with it. The choice is yours; you are freely loved so you can freely love in return. To Love or Not to Love? The choice is yours.





     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

Growing Strong in Faith

     An audio version of this message will be available soon at the link below:

Romans Chapter Four

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

Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.

Colossians Chapter Three

1. Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.



     I woke up this morning and Holy Spirit was using these scriptures to paint images on my heart. I love it when this happens. I love the scriptures and I love being taught their true meaning by our teacher.

     For those of us who were trapped in the Word of Faith trap in years gone by it is so refreshing to finally understand that the book is a holy book but only comes alive in the voice of the teacher. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. The book is not God, our Father is God and he is a Master Artist; his scriptures are paint and our hearts are the canvas. When we finally get these things in order we realize that our fellowship is not with rules and regulations and words written on a page but our fellowship is with a loving, caring Father whose heart sings because we are his children.

     This was one of those mornings when Holy Spirit was singing these scriptures to me and I was overcome with joy. The object of learning is not to learn but to fall deeply in love with the teacher. When the focus becomes not what can I learn but how can I delight in my teacher, then the whole experience brings inexpressible joy.

     I love being taught because I love the one who teaches me. Each of us is the teacher’s favorite student and we all have access to the secrets of heaven.

     So as I was meditating on the verses that were dancing around and singing in my heart I heard Holy Spirit’s sweet voice asking me to write down these notes from the teacher and share them with you.


     Blessed Holy Spirit said:

My delightful children, the ones whom I love and I love to gather to me and snuggle with. The ones whom I adore and have adored for eternity: Will you give me your attention? Will you set your mind on the things above and stop staring at your problems?

     Do you know why we showed Abraham the stars of the sky to count and the sand of the sea to consider? It was to take his mind off his body that was good as dead. His focus changed from looking at his good as dead body and he began to look at the unlimited God who puts stars in order and calculated how many grains of sand were needed to filter the oceans and keep them clean.

     It is when you begin to consider our limitless ability that you forget about your weak limited problems. You faith grows stronger as you give glory to the one who created all things and stop giving any glory at all to whatever is affecting you negatively. The way to put out the darkness is not to curse the darkness but to turn on every light available.

     This is why when faced with needing food to feed the multitudes Jesus didn’t consider the limited supply of food but gazed into heaven to see our limitless supply of multiplication. This is why there were different amounts of fish and loaves available and different amounts of people to feed recorded in scripture. What you have on hand and what you need don’t matter. What is available to you because you are a child of the Almighty is the focus. He understood that being a child of the Almighty entitles you to all that your Father has. He understood that he and his Father are one so all things that belong to Father are his already.

     It was the same with the story of the prodigal son. The Father told the son that stayed home that he could have had a party anytime he wanted. My loved ones don’t you understand that I gave earth to you and all things are yours already?

     He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. There is no separation between us. We are not two but we are one. One Lord, one faith, one baptism: One Father who is above all and in all. You were all baptized into the death of the beloved Son of God and you were all raised to newness of life. No one is excluded but many are ignorant of the truth.

     This is why our beloved Paul told you that you have the ministry of reconciliation. We were in Christ on that cross reconciling the world to us not counting sins but declaring righteousness. Jesus said if he be lifted up he would draw all men unto him. He left none out but many are not awake to their forgiveness and live as dead men not knowing the life that is available to them. They think we are angry at them when all we want is to awaken them to our love and fellowship with them.

     This is the born again experience. It is when the revelation comes to you that you are loved and forgiven and your old life is dead and you leave it at the cross and step over into life everlasting. This is why the early church was so full of joy. They understood the finality of the cross and the finality of the resurrection. If one died for all then all died and if one was raised in life then all were raised. Your spirit is as alive as it will ever be.

     When you come to this realization you will be full of joy and realize the goal of evangelism is not to condemn others and tell them how much they are in need of a savior. The message is that the savior already came and they need to awaken to what was already accomplished for them. Jesus was the lamb who took away the sins of the whole world. The gospel is the good news of what already happened.

     People need to be taught the truth. If you believe you are a sinner you will live in sin. If you believe you are holy and righteous because of the blood of the Son of God you will begin to live in holiness and righteousness. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Your life will conform to what your heart believes.

     My beloved, this is what I want you to set your mind on. I want you to completely understand the finality of the cross and the resurrection as your death and resurrection. You are not dead but you are alive in me. You were already sanctified, justified and glorified. You rule and reign with me now. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it is not so. Every decision made from the throne is made with you in mind and in our heart, so you are already ruling and you don’t see it.

     Those of you with children understand this. The day a child is born the focus of your life and family is no longer on what is best for you but what is best for the children. You will change jobs and locations and move thousands of miles from home just for your children to have better opportunities. So are you ruling your house or are your children ruling with you?

     As you set your mind on things above and stop considering the circumstances against you but only consider that the Great Almighty God who sits on the throne is for you. If God be for you who can be against you? No one! Neither death or hell or the grave, none of those things are able to conquer you for you have already conquered in me.

     When Jesus was hanging on the cross he prayed “Father forgive them because they don’t know what they are doing.” You were forgiven even before he died. Stop letting religion define who you are. Look into my heart and see who you are. How important are you that the blood of God would be spilled to save you? How important is your neighbor that the blood of God would be spilled for him? The truth changes everything.

     So my loved ones don’t consider your problems but see the answer. Don’t consider your body or your bank account. Consider him who created the heavens. Consider the one who shed his blood for you. Consider him that was and is and is to come. The one who created eternity just to spend it with you because you are so loved and so much more than you understand yourselves to be.

     Jesus was our only begotten son, and he redeemed you to us. You can’t redeem something or someone unless they were already yours. He came to remind you of who you are. You were alienated from us in your minds. You were gone astray in your beliefs. You forgot who you were. You are sons and daughters and you are all the family of God. You are kings and priests because you are the children of the King.

     You are our offspring. You are given great glory because of your birth. Your bodies came from the earth but the earth came from the breath of our word. Then we breathed our life into you. The part of you that is alive is Spirit from our Spirit. No longer let religion rob you of your birthright. I have given you all things that pertain to life and Godliness. You own all things already.

     Finally my children: Grow strong in faith giving glory unto your Father. The way you glorify your father is to see yourselves as his children. No more denying who you are. The blood of Christ was spilled to declare your righteousness and yet you declare yourselves to be sinners? This does not glorify your Father. Becoming who you truly are brings glory to us. Growing up into the head which is Christ glorifies us. Worshiping your Father while laughing at your problems glorifies us.

     Be strong in the Lord and the power of His Might. Things aren’t up to your problems they are up to your Father who loves you and your Savior who loves you so much he gave himself to you and for you.

     I am delighted to be your teacher and to share with you the truth. I will lead and guide you into all truth. You shall know who you are and this will make you free. Free to be the children of God and to bask in our love for you: Freedom to love us without a law forcing you to or fear of retribution if you don’t love us: Freedom to love without fear. Freedom to be full of joy in the midst of your problems because you know your problems are small and your Father is huge. So look at the greatness of your Father and soon all the things that worry you will fade into nothing. You won’t even know how we fixed the problems, they will just be gone.

     Delight yourselves in our love for you and love each other as you are loved. Love did not begin with you. Love cannot end with you. Pass it on.



     And these are the glorious words my beloved Teacher gave me today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

Luke Chapter Two

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed every one into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David :) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 

 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 

     As I read these verses again today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down the following words and share them with you.

He said:

     My little ones, it was our great joy to send our joy to you. It was our plan for eternity to be with you. I sent my Son because I love each of you and I wanted to be with you and in you. Our plans have never changed. We are on a mission to make all men, women and children know how much you are loved and how we long for you to know of that love.

     You have always been our delight. It is our delight to share everlasting joy with you. We long for each of you to be as full of joy as we are. The reason we are so full of joy is because we see the end and are not stuck in the past or stuck in the present. We know that our love never fails and no matter how hard a heart may be it is no match for perfect love.

     My loved ones, as you celebrate the times you call holidays I ask you to remember. Every day is holy to me. You could be filled with joy on every day and give gifts to each other every day. You could be delighted on every day in every hour if you would only focus on the story of my Son.

     The birth, death and resurrection of my Son is the greatest love story ever told and you are the focus of that love story. If only you will see how much you are loved then you will love each other as you are loved. This will bring peace on earth. The good will that I feel towards all men will become what you feel towards all and you will be in eternal celebration.

     My kingdom is not destruction, wrath and retribution; it is righteousness, peace and joy. This is the plan of heaven from the beginning for the world to be just like heaven and be filled with great joy. 

     So my loved ones, don’t let anyone make you afraid. The season of true love is just beginning and soon the whole earth will be filled with my glorious love. Don’t trust what you hear with your ears or see with your eyes. Trust what you feel in your heart where I dwell.

     I gave you the greatest gift of all and now I am asking for you to give me something in return. So you wonder, what does God want for Christmas? I am not only asking but demanding that you give me some things. 

     I want you to give me your worries and cares. Give me your burdens and your tears. Give me your sadness and I will fill you with my everlasting joy. Give me your loneliness. Give me your concerns for your future and your hurts from the past. I want them all. Will you not give me what I ask?

     My loved ones, a great new day is dawning. It is not a day of fear but of hope and light. The world is not coming to a terrible end but to a glorious new beginning. Wars will end and poverty will end and men shall bless each other and love each other and the Prince of Peace will reign in peace. 

     Don’t let others scare you. Yes my fire is coming but just as I stood in the burning bush yet the bush wasn’t consumed so I will be in each of you. My glorious fire will refine each of you and you will be filled with holiness and light. It is a glorious day that you are awakening to. My love is the fire that burns within me and love never fails. My love comes not to destroy the world but to destroy the things that are destroying my children.

     Finally my beloved ones rejoice in the day you are in. No more worry or fear. I gave you my best gift and I require you to give me what I asked for. Remember that each day belongs to my Christ. All things have been given unto him. Each day is Christmas. 

     I so loved the world that I gave my only begotten son. I never stopped loving the world. I never have or never will stop loving you. So give me your worries and cares because you know that is what I want for Christmas.



     This is 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,

Fall in Love Again

     An audio version of this message will soon be available at the link below:

     Isaiah Chapter Sixty One

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; 

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, 

and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, 

and the day of vengeance of our God; 

to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, 

the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;  

that they may be called oaks of righteousness, 

the planting of the LORD, 

that he may be glorified. 

     I woke up this morning to these words comforting me. As I embraced these words that danced in my heart I heard the voice of my Savior. He asked me to write some things down and share them with his loved ones. Here are the words he gave me:

     My little ones, I am not afraid or ashamed of your brokenness. In my eyes you are perfect and holy and delightful. Do you have burdens and cares and problems in your heart and in your life? Yes you do, but only because you haven’t fully surrendered them to me. Delivering captives, binding up broken hearts and setting prisoners free is my mission from my Father. All that I accomplished was because of fellowship with my Father. I knew he was in me and you should also. I have come to make you free.

     So many are wandering and have lost your hope and your purpose. You have set out to do so many things and have lost the one good thing. You are born for fellowship with me. That is your primary purpose and when your objectives shift things get out of balance and your life goes sideways or backwards instead of forward.

     So many of you are discouraged because of events and circumstances. It is because you have made them the priority instead of fellowship. You say if only this happens then I will be happy. If only I get this job or this person is restored to my life or if my ministry goes well then I will be satisfied. These things will never satisfy. Only drinking from the well of life called fellowship will satisfy you.

    Do you remember that I said “let all who are thirsty come unto me and I will give you living water? I am the river inside you. You must get your nourishment from me and not from circumstances. When it really comes down to it whether you win or lose is not the mission of life. All that matters is did you learn to fellowship with me throughout your life, regardless of if it were on sunny days or in a storm.

     It’s called seeking the kingdom. If you fellowship with me all the things that you are laboring for will come to you. They have already been given to you but they are in me. All your Father’s blessings to you are in me. You have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realm that is in me. My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by and in me. I am that glory. The secret of the kingdom is fellowship with the King.

    My loved ones, I don’t want you to suffer. I don’t want you to worry. I don’t want you to labor. The birds don’t sow or reap or gather into barns. Theirs is not the life of labor but the life of abiding in praise. You can learn to abide in praise also because you can abide in me as I abide in my Father and Holy Spirit, and they abide in me and we abide in you. You are not outside the circle. You are in the middle of the circle. 

     Don’t see yourself as an outsider. You are the beloved and the adored. How much are you loved? Greater love has no man than that he lay down his life for his friends. My cross is proof of how much you are adored.

     My little ones there are so many things I want to teach you but you are too focused on the earthly and not on the heavenly. Focusing on the problem does not fix the problem. You can look at something that is broken all day and that won’t fix it. You must look past the brokenness to the healing.

     Imagine if your car was broken down. You can look at the broken part forever and that won’t fix a thing. Or you can go get a new part that is not broken and replace the broken one and you are driving again. Look past the broken parts of your lives and look at the cure. Stop staring at the problem and gaze upon your answer. I Am Your Answer!

     Delightful ones, start over today. Return to your first love. I am right here in your heart. I am not far away. Do you hear me whisper? I am calling you away from your problems and into my bliss. Share our delight. Be delighted in your place. Rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Do you know where they are written? They are written on the pages of the beating heart of God.

     So my beloved ones, rest in me and fellowship with me. Drop what you are doing and dance with me. Take your eyes off your problems and get lost in the loving gaze of your one true love. The one who loved you before you even knew who you were. The one who looked at all the problems in your life and saw right past them into days of glory. The one who never finds fault with you and favors you at all times. 

     You don’t have far to go. I am always with you and always inside your heart. Come into the secret place and fellowship with me. No more worries and cares. Give them to me and rest in me. I am your true love. Fall in love again.



     And this was the message 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,

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.

Ephesians Chapter Four

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call: one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.



     As I was praying today Father spoke to me and said to me: “Son, write down these words and share them with my children.”

     My little ones, the time of awakening has come. It’s time to awaken from sleep and see who you are. It is time to know the truth that makes you free. It’s time to know who you are and who you have always been. 

     You have been sleeping for a long time. Wrong teachings put you into a deep sleep and you lost your identity. False teachers told you that you were worthless sinners and you didn’t have any value. Then they taught you that you had to do all these things and keep all these new rules they made up to make you right again. I gave you only two rules when I spoke them through my Son. Love me and love each other.

     So what will this awakening be like? It will be resurrection from the grave thinking into the heavenly knowing. You are my children. You have always been my children. My Son came and found you because you got lost. He brought each of you back into right understanding of who you are. You thought your sin separated you from me so you hid from me in the world. All who see themselves in Adam run from me and all those who see themselves in Christ will run to me.

     It was the same lie from the beginning. Your enemy told you that you were naked. He tried to make you ashamed of yourself so you would hide from me. Adam and Eve wanted coverings so they wouldn’t see themselves naked. I was never ashamed of their nakedness. I didn’t tell them they were naked. The enemy told you that you don’t measure up and you don’t have all that you need, so you believed him and went into a deep sleep. It is time to wake up and realize that you are not who the world told you that you are.

     You are my beloved children. You are my offspring and my inheritance. I birthed you by my Spirit. You are not sinners born by accident who just happened to find my mercy. I loved you from the beginning. You were the plan. My lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. I knew what it would cost to keep you for eternity and my mercy was given before it was needed.

     So what does this mean my beloved? It means you must reject the lie. Anyone who tells you that you are unworthy of my love is not fully awake. You are my delight and my love and my plan. I want you to see yourselves as royal, holy children of the Almighty and this will free you from sin and lies and death. 

     You must come to know that you are who you are because you were born who you are. You did not earn your last name. I gave it to you. Do you remember what Paul told you in his letter to the Ephesians that all in heaven and earth are named for me?

     It’s time to know your true identity and rejoice because your family tree is written in heaven. If I kept Genealogy in the scripture do you not think I keep it in heaven? In heaven it is different. Not only is your family line kept but also the line of whom passed the gospel to you. One day you will find the person who taught you the gospel and then the person they were taught by and follow the tree all the way back to my Son.

     Oh Glorious Ones! How long will you see yourselves as small? You are children of God how can you be small? You are the purpose and plan of eternity so how important are you? I hear many who say yes but the scriptures say a man shouldn’t more highly of himself than he ought. But neither should he think any lower than he ought. 

  When you see your royalty you will understand that your neighbor is royalty also, and you will love and respect him because you know that he is mine. Do you remember that my Son told you that if you do anything unto the least of these “My Brethren” you have done it unto me? Wake up to who you are and who your neighbor is. You are not doing things to each other but are doing them to me. What did my Son tell Saul? Why are you persecuting “Me?”

     We are one body. I am the head over all things. My Son is the head of the church and the world. I exalted him and put him on the throne. One day when all things are complete he will give all things back unto me. All things will be under his feet eventually and all things will be in order. 

     It will begin with this awakening when you stop seeing each other as mere men and women and see yourselves as Royal Children of God and stop calling common what is precious. Is there not a person in the world that my Son’s blood was not spilled for? Are not all people precious in my eyes? Which of your children is more important to you? Do you not love them all?

     My dear ones please don’t let religion and the world put you back to sleep. Stay awake with me and fellowship with me and be my friends. 

     My Son came to give you abundant life and light. Don’t dwell in darkness. You are not bottom feeders. You are not children of the dark. Arise and shine. In other words, awake to the truth of whom you are and act like it. No more seeing yourselves as forsaken and belittled. You are citizens of heaven. You have all the rights and privileges of heaven. No more earthly limits. Live like you are from heaven and most of all, love like you are from heaven.

     Wake up my children. Arise, shine, rise up from the dust of religious decay and stand in my glorious liberty. No more being who the world tells you to be. Rise up and conquer in love and wake up all you meet. 

It is a glorious day that is coming upon the earth. Don’t miss it. Don’t partner with those who peddle fear. This world does not belong to anyone but me, and I gave it unto you. Take possession of it and drive out fear and ignorance. 

     The world is coming to a glorious awakening. Only those who love darkness are terrified of light. Destruction is coming and has come already to the dark kingdom. This has nothing to do with my glorious church. Don’t let anyone sell you fear or make you afraid again, you have already passed from death to life and are living in eternity already. Death has no hold on you. If you live on earth I live in you. If you come to heaven you live in me. Why the fear? Please wake up and fellowship with me in the light.

     I love you my dearest ones with love that you cannot even imagine yet, but soon you will. It’s time to let go of the world and grab hold of me. It is time to wake up to my love and wake up to your reality. You are not disgusting sinners saved by grace. You are eternally loved children born of my Spirit. This is the truth that will make you free. 

I AM YOUR FATHER! 

     These are 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

Psalm 24

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it.

The world and all of its people belong to him.

For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.



Psalm 82

God presides over heaven’s court;

He pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:

“How long will you hand down unjust decisions

by favoring the wicked?

“Give justice to the poor and the orphan;

uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

Rescue the poor and helpless;

deliver them from the grasp of evil people.

But these oppressors know nothing;

they are so ignorant!

They wander about in darkness,

while the whole world is shaken to the core.

I say, ‘You are gods;

you are all children of the Most High.

But you will die like mere mortals

and fall like every other ruler.’”

Rise up, O God, and judge the earth,

for all the nations belong to you.



Micah Chapter 4

1:In the last days, the mountain of the LORD’s house

will be the highest of all,

the most important place on earth.

It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

2: People from many nations will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of Jacob’s God.
There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.”

For the LORD’s teaching will go out from Zion;
his word will go out from Jerusalem.

3: The LORD will mediate between peoples
and will settle disputes between strong nations far away. They will hammer their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will no longer fight against nation,
nor train for war anymore.

4. Everyone will live in peace and prosperity,
enjoying their own grapevines and fig trees,
for there will be nothing to fear.

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies
has made this promise!

5: Though the nations around us follow their idols,
we will follow the LORD our God forever and ever.





    As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you He said.


     My beloved ones, why do you fear? I know you look at the news and at the world and you see chaos and turmoil. But you don’t see what I see. Yes there is shaking and trouble but you must remember the earth is mine and all the nations are mine. They may be in the hands of wicked people at this time but they are mine and soon all things will change. 

     I hear the cries of the oppressed and I know the ways and the struggles of my people. I want you to know I have a plan and that plan is not the destruction of the world but the salvation of it. I sent my son to save it, not to destroy it.

     You must turn your eyes back to me and turn them away from the constant fiction you call news. Don’t trust what you see with your natural eyes and hear with natural ears. Listen with your heart for just a moment. Take a moment right now and close your eyes and listen to my words and my heart. You must do this several times a day to keep your peace and not to grow weary of the constant barrage of lies you are being fed through all the systems of the evil one.

     My beloved ones, they long to keep you afraid and keep you troubled. They do this for many reasons. One is so they can prey upon you causing you to make purchases you would never make and decisions you would never make. Another reason is because people who are afraid are easily manipulated. You must never give in to fear and always trust in me and live in peace.

     I gave all authority on earth and in heaven to my Son. He rules from our throne and regardless of what you see our plan is working. Soon I will settle all the disputes of the nations. I will declare peace and put an end to war. I am the God of peace and my son is the Prince of Peace. We will rule in righteousness and in justice. All things that were stolen will be returned and justice will prevail.

     Do you remember what I told you in the Psalm you call Thirty Seven?

1: Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
2: For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.

3: Trust in the LORD, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
4: Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5: Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act.
6: He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.

7: Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!

8: Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9: for the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

10: In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
11: But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant peace.

12: The wicked plots against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him,
13: but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that his day is coming.

14: The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose way is upright;
15: their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.

16: Better is the little that the righteous has
than the abundance of many wicked.
17: For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.

18: The LORD knows the days of the blameless,
and their heritage will remain forever;
19: they are not put to shame in evil times;
in the days of famine they have abundance.

20:But the wicked will perish;
the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures;
they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.


     My loved ones, I have spoken these words to you many times. Stop letting those who peddle fear upset you. My word is sure and stands forever. Soon, war will come to an end and I will bring peace to the earth. The earth is mine and every soul is mine. Many are gone astray but they are still mine.

     Soon my church will believe in my plan. My son told you to make disciples of all the nations. Not to pray for their destruction. It is not the nations that are evil but evil spirits living in and ruling through weak people. Pray for the people to be delivered. Wake up those around you who have closed their eyes in fear and tell them to awaken to joy because my day is coming.

     Set your eyes on things above, upon my eternal plan. All you see with your eyes is wind and waves. The storm will cease and righteousness will rule. Pray for the wicked ones. I would rather they be saved and not destroyed. I will keep you in perfect peace if you will set your mind on me and keep it there.

     My children, the world is not coming to an end but the rule of the wicked ones ends shortly. Their power was already broken in the heavenly realm and soon will be destroyed beneath your feet. Who gathers an army just to retreat? You are my advancing army. You are my mighty ones. Darkness can’t destroy your light. 

     Arise and shine. Your light has come and my glory is risen upon you. You have no need to fear the darkness. Be my army of light. Share your light with all you meet. Heaven is invading the earth and the wicked are terrified. Have no fear, your God is near! 

     This is 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

Love is Calling: Will You Answer?

     An audio version of this message will be available soon at the link below:

Galatians Chapter Two Verse Twenty

     I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

     As I was meditating on this scripture this morning I heard the voice of my Savior. He spoke to me the following words and asked me to share them with you. He said:

     Beloved ones, do you have any idea how much you are loved? I will answer it for you. No you do not. You haven’t even begun to know the depths of my great love for you. I will reveal it to you if you will listen with your heart and not through your religious filters.

     You were born from our love and birthing you was always for the purpose of our love. Father, Holy Spirit and I loved each other completely but wanted more beings like us to share that love with . So you were born. Are there ever too many people to love? Those of you with children do you only have enough love for one, or will you love the second and third child the same as the first?

     I love each of you and my love is boundless and so are my pleasant thoughts toward you. My thoughts are much higher than your thoughts about you. You think awful things about yourselves and I think heavenly things about you. My ways are higher than your ways. Your way is to condemn yourselves and belittle yourselves and my way is to exalt you to sit with me in heavenly places.

     Religion has told you that I am angry with you but that is a lie. It was not my anger or my Father’s anger that nailed me to a cross. It was the anger of mankind. Mankind was so angry about living in the fallen world that they spilled the blood of God to get even.

     It was never sinners in the hands of an angry God but God in the hands of angry sinners. Love is the reason I allowed you to take out your wrath upon me. I did this so your wrath could be extinguished and your love could grow. I could have chosen to walk away but my love for you would not let me. Have you ever picked up a screaming, angry child and let them scream out their frustrations while you held them in your arms until peace returned?

     So why am I telling you these things? Only by knowing my love can you be free from anything. All my power is based in and used for the purpose of love. I delight in life and not in destruction. All destruction is only to protect those that I love. You must only think of me as love even when you see things that you don’t understand come to pass you must learn to ask yourselves how my love will be manifested in these things.

     Most of you have been corrupted by a baseless faith system. Most of you have been trained to trust words in a book because they are written and not because they were spoken by my love. 

     Religion has taught you that if you keep the rules and you know all the magic phrases then you can move mountains. Do you want to know what kind of faith moves mountains? Faith based on love moves mountains. Only faith that knows that I am love and am always love is powerful. What good is moving a mountain if there is no reason to move it? Love must be the reason for moving it or there will never be enough faith to make it move.

     I came to save you because of my love for you. I took away your sins because of my love for you. I healed your diseases because of my love for you. Yet my church tries to heal the sick to prove they have power. Those who have love power don’t exercise that power for show.

     It is only when you become rooted and grounded in my love for you that you will be filled with the fullness of my love and faith and patience and goodness and kindness and glory. Your faith must become based on my love for you.

     This is what our beloved Paul told you in the verse you read. You live your life by my faith because I loved you and gave myself for you. Faith based on any other reason is a lie. 

     True faith is simple childlike trust. True faith is knowing you are loved and when things are good it’s because you are loved and when troubles come you don’t shrink away in fear because you know you are loved. You are loved if you live or if you die. If you fly or you fall you are still loved. It is only when you become totally convinced of this that you will walk in perfect peace.

     Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of truth. That word is that my Father so loved the world that he gave me to save you. Those who believe my Father is an angry dictator don’t even have a clue who they are speaking of. I came to show you who he was. I demonstrated his character to you. I loved and gave and healed and delivered and those who were trapped in sin I set free with no condemnation.

     It is time for you to check your faith and examine yourselves to see what your faith is based on. If it is not completely based on my love for you then it is built upon sand and will fall with every storm. I want you to be stable and never fearing. I want you to know that when tribulations come you can rest in my love. When the wind blows and the storm rages you can know that your foundation you built your life on is secure.

     There are two things I want you to always consider. First, I love you and have always loved you and will always love you. The second is, I am with you, I have always been with you and I will always be with you.

     I want you to surrender to my love for you. No more hiding how you feel and what you are going through. I know these things. I know when you are sad and I know when you are mad and I know when you are fearful. Stop the madness of trying to pretend that you are Super-Christian. 

     You are my child and you are above anything in this world. Even in your weakness I am your strength. In your failure I am your victory. In you doubt I am your faith. In your hopelessness I am your hope. I am the strength of your life because I love you and I want to be your all. Why do I want to be your all? It is because you are my all.

     On your worst day I was in love with you. When you despise the one you see in the mirror I am delighted in you. When you see yourself as a worm I see you as the stars of heaven. You can’t change my mind. I love you and there is nothing that either of us can do about it. I can’t change who I am. I am love and I can’t be anyone else. You are loved and you can't stop me.

     So lift up your heads and don’t be discouraged. I know all your battles and struggles and know your cares and hurts. I know your worries and your fears and yet all of those things disappear as you give them over to my love. Your pain is no match for my love. Your grief is no match for my love. 

     To those of you who think you have lost loved ones and things and friends: Nothing is lost. All will be restored in time. Even the hairs of your head are numbered and I have collected all the ones you lost so they can be multiplied and restored. There will be a day of restoration when everything and everyone you ever cared for will be restored to you. Behold I make all things new!

     So my loved ones, lift up your heads, look into my eyes and see me smiling at you. I was never angry or disappointed in you not even for a moment. I am ever patient and I know you are learning how to be an eternal being. I will teach you as you go. Yes there will be struggles and days that you want to quit but how do you quit being who you are? In all things I am with you and for you and in love with you.

     Please remember my loved ones, check your faith. Is it based on the fact that I loved you so much that I took away all your mistakes and sins and sickness and disease or is it based on your performance to a bunch of rules of faith that I never gave you? Is it based on the blood of my cross or the power of your memorization of scriptures and your confession? Is it based on my eternal priesthood or on how much money you dropped in the plate last week? Is it based on my Father’s love for you or your obedience to a rule book?

     Remember my loved ones: Laws for the lawless. Love for the righteous ones. Walk in my love and live in my love and rest in my love. You are the object of my great affection. Will you just fall in love with the one who is in love with you and get on with it? Love is calling: Will you answer?



     And this is the end of the words He spoke to me moments ago.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael
