Matthew Chapter Six

9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

John Chapter Fourteen

1. “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

10. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

Acts Chapter Seventeen

“‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘for we are indeed his offspring.”


     As I was praying today these verses kept coming from my heart into my mind. I pondered a few moments about what Father was trying to teach me. After a few moments of meditating about these verses Father spoke to me and asked me to take notes and share them with you. Here are his words. He said:

     My little ones; you are so loved and so blessed! I don't call you my little ones because you are small but because I am a blessed Father and to me you will always be my beloved children. I only wish you could feel the pure delight I experience when I think of you. This means I am delighted all the time, for you are always on my mind. Not just occasionally, but always.

     Things are different in the higher mind; there is no past or present to me, it is eternally right now. So right now I am in love with you and thinking good things about each of you. You are with me in this realm but you are not aware of it yet. Soon you will know as you are known and great secrets will be revealed to you about how special you are and where you are and where I am.

     In me you live and move and have your being. I dwell in you and you dwell in me and we are one. We are not separate but are one. Think of it like a chandelier with one light in the center and many other lights all around the center light. Would you say “look at all those lights?” Or would you say “look at that beautiful chandelier?”

     We are one. I am the light of the world and you are the light of the world. There is only one light. You are so much a part of me and I a part of you that there is no way to tell where I stop and you begin. We are perfectly formed together and only in your mind is there any separation.

     My son told you that he and I were one. Not two but one. As he is so are you in this world. Soon you will awaken to the truth that you are not separate from me but are a part of me.

     I know I’ve told you this many times before but I need you to hear it. It’s time to end the separation lie and enjoy our oneness together. When you are awakened to our one life then you will no longer feel separated. You will no longer be anxious or afraid or sad. You will be full of my joy all the time.

     Imagine you were riding down the road and my Son Jesus was driving. Would you be afraid of having an accident? Would you be afraid you might break down and get stranded? Now stop imagining and know the truth. My Son, My Spirit and I are not driving your car. We are in you. We are not a car seat distance away. We are in you. So why are you afraid?

     The lie of separation is the greatest lie ever told. Religion has made you feel like I am a million miles away in some place called heaven. Don’t you understand? Jesus said to pray to me in heaven and then he said I was doing the works from inside him. So where is heaven? It is in you.

     I know you have been programmed differently but this is truth. I will never leave you and never forsake you. I can’t leave you anymore than I can leave my own self for we are one.

     You are the new heaven and the new earth wherein righteousness dwells. You are the city set on a hill and you are the city that came down from heaven. You are the bride of the lamb. You did not come from the earth, you came from me. Only your bodies were made of dust. But consider this: Was not the dust of the earth holy when I made man from it? Is there any part of earth that did not come from me? Is the temple holy because it’s a temple or because the holy one lives in it?

     As you begin to see that you are one with me you will also see that you are one with each other. You can’t be separated for I am in all and through all. I am the Father from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth comes from. The idea of lost versus found and us versus them will die. You will love your neighbor as yourself as you discover that your neighbor is yourself.

     There is one family tree and many branches. My Son told you that he was the vine and you are the branches. Do branches grow from the vine or do they come to the vine and mysteriously attach themselves to the vine? The vine needs the branch to bear its fruit. The branches need the vine to sustain life. You were born from me and came from me.

     Many are lost in their own minds and don’t know they are mine but all are mine. This is why the promise came that all shall know me from the least to the greatest. All things are new and all things are of me.

     My beloved ones: As you awaken to the fact that we are not separate you faith will soar higher and higher. When you realize that we are one and that all I have is yours then you will no longer take thought of lack or sickness or disease. You will put all things in order beginning with your minds.

     This is the truth that will make you free. Knowing that you are one with me and you are hidden inside me and I am hidden inside you and there is no room for fear. This is the greatest mystery ever! Christ in you! It’s like a game of hide and seek. I hid myself in you. You have looked for me everywhere but inside.

     Seek for me with your heart because I am in your heart. When you stop thinking you can get there with human intellect and stop seeking for more knowledge and seek me for love’s sake, you will find me. Don’t search for knowledge. Search for me in you. My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge but all that is lacking is the knowledge of who you already are.

     Think of it this way. Those of you who are married; did you seek your spouse just to obtain knowledge about who they are and what they could do? Or did you seek them because the love in your heart would not rest until you found them? Is it better to read about them and gain knowledge about them or to hold them in your arms and hug them with your heart?

     Love is the secret of secrets. I so loved each of you that I sent my son to rescue you from your fallen mind and to restore you to your heavenly mind. 

     In your minds you thought you were my enemy. You thought I was angry with you because you made a mistake and did something that is against my nature. But did you consider what my beloved Paul told you in his letter to the Corinthians? I was in Christ reconciling the world unto myself. Not counting your sins against you. I have never kept a list of your wrongs. Only what you do right is recorded.

     So come into your right mind. Let go of the worldly mind and all of its darkness and put on the mind of Christ. See yourselves as I see you and see your neighbor as I see you. I see you just as I see my beloved Son whom you call Jesus. Do you remember in scripture I called him God when I said unto him “Thy Throne Oh God is Forever!

     Soon you will be fully awake and know yourselves as one of us and not separate from us. I created you in my image and my likeness. In other words; if I look at a mirror or I look at you I see the same image. When I look at you I see me. I just want you to awaken and see yourselves as you are seen.

     How valuable are you that I would send my firstborn to save you from your broken mind? How valuable are you that the angels of heaven were created to serve you? Let this sink in: You are in my image and my likeness. If you want to see me then look in a mirror. Don’t look through the eyes of religion or unbelief. Look with the mind of Christ.

     I know this is where many of you will stop listening but this is the same reason they killed my Son. He said he was my son and they killed him for calling himself my equal.

     You already are justified, sanctified and glorified. You are not who you were told you are. You are who I say you are. Listen to me and do not let the fallen mind or people operating with the fallen mind tell you who you are. You are who I say you are. You are my child and everything I created was created for you. No more worry or fear or anxiety. Stop living the lie and start living in the truth.



     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

Matthew Chapter Six



11.  Give us ( this day) our daily bread.

25. “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.


Mark Chapter Eight

35. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.



     As I was praying today these verses bubbled up into my thoughts. I sat down and meditated on them and as I did Father made this statement to me: He said: "Now is how!"

     When I asked him what he meant He told me to listen and write and share, so here are his words:

     My little ones, you are so worried about tomorrow. You are worried about your children and your finances and your health and are spending more time in worry than in thanksgiving. This makes your life out of balance.

     If you truly trust me with your hearts you will put tomorrow in my hands. If you truly trust me you will put your past behind you. The way to know if you trust me is if you are in worry or in thanksgiving. If you are in worry you are not in trust.

     My little ones, did you forget that I created heavens and earth and all that is seen and unseen? Do you think I did it with worry or with joy? It is my good pleasure to give you the kingdom so I gave you the kingdom. Remember that I told you that the kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy. I didn’t say it would be those things, I told you that it is those things. If those things are not ruling in your lives then you have lost your focus. You are focusing on the world and not the kingdom.

     There is a better way. You can enter into the secret place of your heart and meet with me and pray. You can only ask me for what you need today. By only asking me for what you need today then you are letting me know that you trust me with tomorrow.

     So many of you lose hold of your tomorrow because you didn’t take care of today. By spending each moment focused on me and fellowshipping with me your tomorrow gets all lined up automatically and you don’t have to even plan it. 

     Go back and watch the birds. They sing and eat, and sing and eat and I take care of them. They don’t have barns and they don’t worry about reaping and sowing. They reap first and they sow the seeds they have eaten without even knowing they have done it.

     Enjoy each moment with me and tomorrow will take care of itself. This is how the kingdom works. Some of you spend days and weeks and years making plans for the future and then you end up changing them anyway. All that wasted time and all that worry. It would be better if you spend each moment with me and let me tell you what to do.

     Opportunities that affect the future will be brought before you without you seeking them. If you will be with me in the present then opportunities that affect you will be brought to you in that moment and you will not have to search for them.

     My loved ones: I fed you today. I will feed you tomorrow. Time doesn’t change how I love you. It’s not like I have enough to take care of you today but that will be depleted and I will not be able to sustain you.

     Have some faith in me. Are the trees I planted in the beginning still reproducing trees today? Are the plants I planted in the beginning still reproducing today? Are the fish I created in the beginning still reproducing today? How about the animals and birds? I didn’t ask Adam to plant the garden; I gave him a garden to tend to.

     It’s the same with you. You don’t have to create a world. You just enjoy the creation I gave you. All that you need will come to you if you don’t chase it away with worry. Is a hunter more likely to get a deer if he is still, or if he is worried and fidgety and nervous? Is a fisherman more likely to catch a fish if he is still and peaceful, or if he is splashing around in the water afraid of drowning?

     Be still and know that I am God. If you are not still and trusting then you must not believe that I am truly who I say I am. I am more than enough!

     I hear some of you thinking: What about counting the cost? When you were told the parable about counting the cost before you build; that parable was speaking about my providing for you. I counted the cost of each and every person and all they would ever need and I funded it long before anyone arrived. My Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world so that the price of your failures was paid before you failed.

     I am your provider. I will not be your provider. I am your provider. My name is not “I will be.” My name is “I AM!” I have been and will eternally be present in the moment you are in. There lies the problem. I am in your now and your mind is in tomorrow so we can’t communicate very well.

     My dearest ones; whom I love with all that I have and all that I am: Will you come to me right now? Will you come back from the future and meet me in the present. I give you a gift called now and you waste it lost in worry about tomorrow? Please come back to now. If you want to fix tomorrow then now is how.



     This is the end of the words He spoke to me just now.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

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.



Second Peter Chapter One

2. May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

John Chapter Seventeen

3. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.





     As I was meditating this afternoon all of these verses bubbled up from my heart and I began thinking about them. As I did Jesus spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you. He said:

     My family; do you know about me or do you know me? So much emphasis has been put on knowing scriptures and memorizing them and knowing concepts and that is not bad but there is better. I want you to know me the person and not just know about me. 

     Think of your best friend in the world. You know much of their past and you know their accomplishments but is that what your relationship is built on? Or is it built on love and friendship? Did you become best friends by reading about them or by spending time with them?

     When I stood before the Pharisees who knew scriptures better than the best bible teacher does today they couldn’t believe me because I didn’t fit in their preconceived idea of what I should be. They weren’t willing to accept a man who was comfortable eating with those they called sinners. They couldn’t believe I would heal on what they called the Sabbath, although they didn’t realize that I am the Sabbath. I am the rest they needed but they couldn’t see because they were so busy studying about me that they didn’t fellowship with me.

     There was a man named Saul whose name I quickly changed to Paul. He couldn’t see me either because he looked for me in a book and behind a veil in a manmade temple and not in a body. All the time he was out persecuting my loved ones he couldn’t hear me calling him from within his own heart. One day on that road to Damascus the revelation that I was already in him was too great. He was blinded to all he used to know and when the scales came off his eyes he was enlightened to the one he had read about his whole life.

     What I am saying my loved ones is that you can read about me all day or you can talk to me and listen to me and fellowship with me. The scriptures tell of me but don’t keep me living only in a book. I am not a character in a book, I am a living breathing, loving person. You speak of those whom you call the early church and about the amazing miracles they did but you don't realize that they didn't have a book. They had a relationship.

     I want you to know me as I know you. I want you to know my great love for you and I want us to live as one and laugh as one and have a heavenly time even here on earth. I am inside you and calling you to a relationship and not just for you to study about me.

     Think of it this way. Suppose you were famous because a book was written about you. You marry the love of your life but everytime you try to be intimate with your spouse they want to read the book instead of looking into your eyes and speaking to you. I am a living person not locked within the pages of a book. 

     Please my loved ones; come fellowship with me. I am inside you. I always have been, and always will be. When you read the book read it with me. Don’t just read words on a page but discuss it with me as if we were reading it together. Don’t be limited by what is in the book. I am a living being not a historical figure. It’s not what you know about me that fills you with my love and power. It’s knowing me the person.

     Have you ever read a book or heard about a person and then when you meet them they are nothing like what you read or heard? What you read was filtered through another person’s opinion. The Pharisees thought I was a sinner for healing on the Sabbath but the people who were healed thought much better of me. There are so many things about me that I want to reveal to my church but so many are closed minded because they somehow think I quit speaking when they quit writing the book.

     My loved ones; don’t just know what I do, know who I am. I am Love. I love you so much that I laid down my life for you to show you how much you are loved. 

     I long for your attention and fellowship. I am a husband who loves and desires his bride but sometimes she is more interested in the book she is reading than she is in talking to me. If you will spend time with me and talk to me and listen to me then I will write a new book inside your heart. It will be a glorious book full of great joy and adventure. It will not be about a man who lived thousands of years ago but will be a book about us and our great love for each other.

     My loved ones: It is not what you know: It’s who you know. Those who know their God will do great exploits. Not those who know about their God. It’s so simple. Would you marry someone you only read about or someone you experienced for yourself? 

     Speak to me. Think about me. Listen to me for I am constantly speaking to you and wooing you. I want you to know love. God is love. I want you to know the one true love and the Son of his love who is also love. I am calling to you from inside your heart. Will you answer and get to know me?



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

The Enemy Within

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

Second Corinthians Chapter Ten

3. For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

Philippians Chapter Two

5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

First Corinthians Chapter Two

“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.



     As I woke up this morning these verses kept bubbling up in my heart so I sat down and began to meditate on them and Father spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you. He said:


     My little ones: Why are you looking for an external enemy? The only real fight you have is the battle that rages in your thoughts. One moment your Christ mind is getting the victory and you are singing and full of joy and full of hope and then that slips away into thinking about problems and bills and anger and all manner of nonsense.

     Why does this happen? Were you not warned against being double minded? What you need to realize is there will be no peace in your life until there is peace in your heart where you deepest thoughts come from. You must win the battle of thoughts to be successful. The reason you have good days and bad days is because you have good thoughts and bad thoughts.

     You can be transformed, which means transfigured by the renewing of your mind. It’s really simple: In the beginning Adam only knew that I was God. He didn’t concern himself with good and evil. When the temptation came to think upon evil he gave in to the temptation and the fallen mind took up residency in his soul. All of a sudden he thought that he was lacking because the fallen mind is fearful where the restored mind is full of faith.

     Because of this fallen mindset Adam felt guilt and anguish and shame. It’s the same today. My children go to false churches and are taught that they are lacking and can only be like me if they pray more and fast more and read the bible more and give more and more and more and more. Most of you are not taught the truth that you are beloved and perfectly accepted just as you are in my sight. Most of you aren’t told that I look at you with loving eyes and see no imperfection in you.

     Because you let this fallen mind live in you then you are constantly bombarded by multitudes of thoughts about “what if?” or “why not?” and a million other things. Negativity seems normal and because you sow all the negative things into the garden of your hearts you reap all these negative events in your life.

     The garden I wanted Adam to rule over was his mind and heart. Out of your heart flow all the issues of life. It’s not the snake in your tomatoes that is the problem; it’s the serpent thinking in your mind.

     Think of it this way: Is the mind and heart garden not a paradise? Where do beautiful works of art and beautiful music and wonderful ideas come from? Do they not come from the garden inside you?

     Once you fully overcome all evil thoughts you will once again be single minded and will walk in perfect harmony with me. It’s not the enemy without that you are at war with; but the enemy within. Cast down every thought that disagrees with perfect love. If it doesn’t agree with the greatest act of love ever done, which was my Son pouring out his love on the cross then it isn’t worth thinking.

     I want you to declare a holy war on all negative thought patterns in your hearts and minds. Make that your resolution. Don’t just see negative thoughts and fearful thoughts and imaginations as bad ideas but see them as what they are: Deadly serpents crawling around inside your mind. Don’t delay! Use the great power of my Spirit to drive all these things away.

     This is why you were told to set your mind on things above. Light dispels darkness. Love drives out all fear. When you are fearful think of my perfect love for you, for you have been loved since long before the world began.

     You are not just loved but you are adored. I don’t see you as a wicked sinner. I see you as my adorable child. More than any mother who ever held her baby and rejoiced in her heart and was overcome by emotions of love, so are my thoughts about you continually.

     I not only want you to know you are loved but I want you to know that I feel the same way about everyone you will ever know. I took away the sins of the world by the sacrifice of my Son.

     My Son represented you as he made a covenant with me. You were included and so was everyone who has been or will ever be born. Jesus, the last Adam, represented all mankind so all mankind has been declared innocent by the sacrifice of my Son. The only problem is most of them don’t know it, so they think they are my enemies and don’t realize they are beloved children.

     Do you remember that I said that this is the New Covenant? I will be your God and you will be my people, I will live in you and write my laws on your heart and in your mind and I will never count your mistakes against you. Once you awaken to your freedom you will arise to a higher level of love and consciousness and will become pure love as I am pure love.

     There is a place in me so full of love and truth that your conscience will be unnecessary. You can walk in purity and holiness only by this living way. My Son’s blood was to cleanse your conscience of all your mistakes so that you could forget them and move up into this realm of holiness.

     So think on these things. Determine to love each and every person and to never think evil of yourself or your neighbor. See all as you see me. For through the blood of my Son you have all become one. When you judge another you are really judging yourselves because you are all the body of Christ. When bad things happen it’s not because of my judgment but because you are judging one another. Whatever judgment you decree against another comes back to you.

     So my beloved ones: Declare war on your thoughts that are not based on love and eternity. Think only on things that are truth and put off the old way of thinking. No more worry. You are living in eternity already. You have already been given everlasting life so what is there to fear?

     Don’t forget the serpent is not running around outside looking to devour someone. He is sneaking around in your thoughts trying to devour you from the inside. It’s up to you to put away the lies. You were crucified with my Son and you were raised to new life when he was raised. That old stone that represented the law was rolled away so you could go free from condemnation.

     Arise my children and drive the lies from your mind. You have nothing to fear. We are one! You are sanctified, justified, glorified beloved children of Almighty God and anything else is a lie. Let no other thought be in your mind but the thought process that was in my Son. Do you remember that it is written that he was just a normal man and yet he told you that he and I were one? You must think the same way. Just because you live in a body and I am invisible doesn’t mean we are separated. I am in you and you are in me and we are one.

     When any negative thought comes to your mind destroy it with truth. After awhile it will fall back into the grave where it belongs and you will no longer be troubled but will be full of everlasting joy. My beloved children: You hearts and minds are the garden I gave you and it is our meeting place. I gave you dominion over this garden. Arise to the higher consciousness and kill the snake.

     Think only on lovely things until all things become lovely and until the enemy within has no place in you. Remember that your weapons are not carnal. You defeat darkness by the spirit and not by will power or earthly means. Use worship as a weapon. Fill your hearts with songs and praise and drive all fearful and worrisome thought from your minds and hearts.

     I love you my dearest ones: Love each other as I love you.

     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,

Stop Denying Your Divinity

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

michaelottministries.podomatic.com



     As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and publish them for all to understand. Here are his words. He said:

     My beloved ones, it’s time to accept the truth. You have lived the lie for too long. You are not earth creatures made from dirt. You are spirit beings born of my Spirit. You are my offspring and it is time for you to stop denying your divinity.

     You were not born by the will of the flesh. You were with me in the beginning and I birthed you and you were born in my love and in my image. Your life didn’t begin in your mother’s womb. It began long ago and your spirit came into your earthly mother at the moment of conception. All of this was prearranged long ago. You were appointed to be on earth at this time according to the master plan that was made long, long ago.

     You have been misled about who you are. You are not poor sinners barely getting by because I had pity on you. You are not a lowly being that somehow will get to heaven if you keep all the rules and regulations.

     You are my children. You are like the prodigal son. He was always a son even when he temporarily lost his self identity and became another’s servant even though he was chosen by his father. 

     You were chosen in my beloved Son before the foundation of the world. You were sanctified, justified and glorified and are enthroned with my beloved son whom you call Jesus on my throne with me. This is your spiritual place. 

     Because you have believed the lies about who you are you have fallen into the curse of believing a lie. If someone convinced you that you were a pig you would be happy living on the slop that the pigs eat. You wouldn’t know any other way. But you are not pigs. You are Sons of the Most High God. You are like children with amnesia. You have forgotten your identity, so you live as a fallen creature instead of like the kings and priests that you are.

     This is the reason for poverty and sickness and disease and every other ailment. Anything that is not natural in heaven is not natural on the earth. There is no sickness and disease here. There is no crime and hate. All of these things are consequences of believing the lie. Because people convinced you that you were a dirty rotten sinner then you lived like one. You never were one but you took on the nature of the thing that you identified with. It’s time to change your mind about who you are.

     Do you remember that I told you in scripture that you are made in my image and my likeness? Do you also remember that I told you that just as Christ is so are you in this world? These are not suggestions. These are absolute facts. If you see yourselves as any other image than what Christ is then you are not seeing clearly.

     You must learn to know yourselves as you know me. You are holy because I am holy. You are gods because you were born from God. As long as you deny who you are then you will live in the consequences of that denial. You do this because you think it’s humble to say that you are just a sinner. But what you are saying is that I am a liar because there is no way that you are holy like me. 

I cannot lie.You are who I made you to be. Once your mind is renewed to this truth then you will live up to your true identity. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. 

     As you awaken to the truth of who you are then the things that are associated with the fallen mind will just vanish from your lives. Sickness, poverty, anger, hate and every other terrible thing will vanish because you will see it as the lie that it is.

     You live and move and have your being in me. I am above all and in you all as the scripture says. Christ is the light that lights every man that comes into the world. You are my beloved, now and always.

     You have never been separated from me or been my enemy except in your own minds. My opinion of you has never changed. I sent my Son to show you that I am a loving Father and not an angry God. Those who believe in an angry God only do so because it excuses their own anger. They try to project their anger upon me. I am love and have always been love.

     You have always been my beloved children. You will always be my beloved children. Think of it this way. When Adam and Eve fell and ran from me did I just let them run away? No I came after them calling them to return to truth. My Son is just like me. He is the great shepherd. We shepherd you together. He is not willing that any should perish. He goes out and finds the sheep no matter where they are. He even went into the underworld that you call hell to get some of them but guess what? He got them all!

     So my loved ones; how long will you deny your divinity? You are spirit of my Spirit, flesh of my flesh. You are blood of my blood. Just like the prodigal son there is a banquet waiting for you to come to your senses. You don’t have to live in the fallen condition. You can come to your right mind and come back to the mindset that you are royalty.

     You have the mind of Christ. Step up into it. Don’t think with the fallen mind any longer. Change the channel. Don’t get your truth from the world. They don’t have it. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. There is no other. Come up to the truth and stop wallowing in the pigpen called the fallen mind. You are better than that. 

     You are a nation of kings and priests. Jesus is not ashamed to call you his brothers and sisters. I am not ashamed to call you my beloved children.

     Stop the madness. Reject the lies. I am the Father from whom the whole family on earth and in heaven gets its name. You are my beloved children. 

 Do you remember that my Son told people to call me Father when they prayed. He didn’t say fall on your knees and beg to an angry God. He told you to shut your door and have a secret meeting in your heart with your dearest Daddy. That’s who I am. 

     We are one. If I am The Almighty God and you are my offspring then what and who are you? How long will you deny your deity? Wake up and know who you are my beloved and when you are awake all the troubles you are entangled with will fall away.

     I love you my dearest ones and ask that you take my love for you and share it with each other. Those of you with children understand how wonderful it is to see your children play together in perfect harmony: To laugh and be joyful and to care for one another. That is what heaven is like. 

     Don’t forget my beloved: As I am, so are you. Like Father, like sons and daughters. It is absolute law: All things reproduce after their own kind. Trees don’t come from butterflies. Horses don’t come from chickens and sinners are not born from a Holy God. Arise unto the understanding of who you are and reign with me.



     This is the end of the words He spoke to me earlier today.
I hope you are blessed by these words.
Until next time.
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

     As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and publish them for his beloved ones to read and to hear. You are his beloved. Never let anyone convince you of anything different. Here are his words, He said:

     My dearest ones, I wish with all my heart that you knew how much you are loved. This is the truth that makes you free. You shall know the truth and you will be free.

     Here is the truth. You were loved from the beginning. You were loved in your past. You are loved in the present and throughout all ages you will be my beloved children. Nothing you could do or say will ever change my opinion of you. I am not discouraged when you make mistakes. Mistakes are part of learning. All that you have been through in your life I will change to good on your behalf, and will do it for no other reason than love.

     I really can’t help it. I am love. I don’t just feel love or have love, I am love. I can never change. In your darkest moment of your life I was totally in love with you. I need you to know my love so you can be filled with my fullness as I told you in scripture.

     My loved ones, the world and religion have taught you that you must do this and that and you must work to receive my blessing. The truth is you are my blessing and I am yours. It’s time to enter into true fellowship and come out of the religious bondage that keeps you in torment. There is no condemnation for those who are in my Son and you have been in him since before the dawn of time. You have never been condemned.

     I am at rest in my love. My Son accomplished all that was needed and he sat down beside me because he was finished with his assignment. He came to reveal to you who I am and who you are. He referred to himself often as “the son of man” because he was trying to show you what a true man is. As he is so are you in this world.

     He came to reveal the truth about who you are and how much you are loved. The law came through Moses but grace and truth came through my Son. The truth is you are accepted and beloved and you didn’t earn it and you don’t have to purchase it by obedience to certain rules and regulations. You are free to be free and this freedom will show you what true love is.

     Imagine it as a husband and wife. What if there was a husband who constantly tells the wife she must do this or do that and better never do this or do that or he will divorce her? What if he says that he will not only divorce her but will burn her in hell forever if she messes up?  Will she ever give herself truly to him? 

     Now imagine that a loving husband tells his bride that he loves her with all his heart and will always love her and nothing can ever stop him from loving her. He says he would chase after her into hell to love her if he has to. Do you think that bride will give herself totally to that husband?

     My loved ones, you are not truly free unless you are truly free to choose. Many say the message of my grace gives people a license to sin but the truth is it gives them freedom from sin and a license to freely love.

     If you only love someone because you are terrified of what they will do to you then is that really love? Now imagine that there is someone who stands by you when you are at your worst and never gives up on you even when you give up on yourself. Can you love that person with all your heart?

     So many have twisted my message when the simple truth is that I so loved each of you that I sent my Son to wake you up and remind you of who you are. Your enemy told you that I was mean and revengeful and misunderstood my jealousy for you. I am jealous of you but my jealousy will not destroy you it will only destroy any lie that stands between us until you can see you are my beloved.

     I need you to know how much you are adored. I long to tell you things about my love but sometimes you push me away because you think you are not worthy or you think your mistakes disqualify you. I have secrets I want to tell you that will bless you for eternity but because you were told you were dirty and rotten you don’t rest in my presence long enough for me to explain them to you.

     Let me ask you. Do you believe my Son took away your sins? Do you believe that he took away the sins of the whole world? If so then what are you afraid of? If you believe in forgiveness then how can you believe that I would ever punish you for something I forgave you for? So many in my church claim that my Son took away the sins of the world but somehow they think he is going to suddenly remember them and pour out wrath on a sinful world. If they would only take a moment and consider what they really believe. It can’t be both ways.

     My beloved ones I need you to have faith in my love. Faith works by love but not by your love. It works by my love. Anytime you get ready to ask me for something don’t ask yourself if you deserve it or if I will do it. Ask yourself if I love you enough to give you the answer. Remind yourself that my Son gave his life for you. Now compare the request you are making to that event and see if what you are asking for seems small compared to one who would leave the throne of heaven to come and take away your sins and give his life to and for you. Love is the energy that powers faith. Compared to what he has already done for you any request seems small.

     Religion has made it about works, but it’s always been about love. As you rest in my love and meditate on my love then you will awaken as love. For I am love and you are love also. You are created in my image and in my likeness. You are just like me because I gave birth to you in spirit. I even formed you in your mother's womb. I did it with delight.

     As you rest in my love and meditate on my love you will see that we really are one family. You have an older brother who wears a body like you have who sits on my throne. I became man so that man could become God. You really were already family but you forgot who you were and had to be reminded. Do you remember in the Psalm you call eighty two it tells you that “you are Gods”?

     If a dog gives birth does it not give birth to a dog? If a horse gives birth does it not give birth to a horse? If the only True God gives birth then what are the children of God?

     Does not my scripture tell you that you are being conformed into the image of my Son? Who is my Son, is he not God? Does he sit on my throne with me? Yes he does. Were you not told that you will rule and reign with him on the earth?

     It’s time to wake up to your true identity. You are my beloved because you are my children. I love my children each and every one. I love the ones who are awake and know they are my children and I love those who are asleep in darkness thinking they are just sinners and not worthy of my love.

     When you are fully awake you will know who you are and will take your place in ruler ship of the earth and put things in order. Begin with the earth you are living in: your body. Begin by subduing it. Not by rules and regulations and fasting and crying but by telling it the truth. You were and always will be a child of God and not a fleshly being. Your doubts are not you. Your false beliefs are not you. As you awaken to who you are then who you are not will fall away.

     My loved ones please start each day by remembering my love for you. Remember that I gave all I had to redeem you to who you are. You were lost in darkness in your mind and I came and rescued you because I love you. End each day the same way. Always thinking about how much you are adored and thinking about the glorious future we have together. 

     Any time you are afraid or discouraged think about my love. Anytime you are in doubt or in worry think about my love. Meditate on my love day and night and soon you will know who you truly are and how deeply you are loved.

     My favor is upon you always. Rest in me.



     These are the words he gave me to share with you today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

Rest in The Answer and Forget The Problem

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

Isaiah Chapter Twenty Six

3. You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

4. Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD God is the eternal Rock.



     As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to write these words and to share them with all who are struggling and hurting. Here are his words.

     My beloved ones: Dearest to my heart. I know you are struggling. I know you are hurting. My Son bore all your pains and struggles and I was in him bearing them for you.

     We understand what it’s like to hurt and to struggle against the problems in this world. But here is what I want you to know. You are in me and not in the world. Jesus told you to be of good cheer because he overcame the world. You have overcome too but the realization of it does not come with struggle and strain but with rest in the one who is your overcomer.

     My children, why do you bear your own burdens? I want you to cast these cares upon me. Not just hand them to me but cast them upon me. I am a strong rock and your cares and burdens weigh you down but they are light upon me. I am your strength. I am your help.

     You shouldn’t look at your problems any longer than it takes to give them to me. You are mine. Your problems are mine, your cares are mine and your burdens are mine. I want you to give them to me because I love you.

     Trust in me. I will bring you through whatever you are facing. You are more than conquerors. There is nothing that can separate you from my love. I am always with you and for you and will stand in you against any storm that arises.

     I sent you into the earth to subdue all these things. I know it seems like the battle is more than you can stand but you are so much stronger than you could ever imagine. I am your strength. I am the calm in your storm.

     My loved ones; you have overcome all these things. You will see victory because what overcomes the world is your faith, and I gave all of you the measure of faith that it takes to overcome all things. You don’t have to struggle to have more faith. You already have all you need. You just need to rest in me and trust that all things work together for your good.

     Lean into my love for you. Don’t be changed by outside circumstances. Change the circumstances by filling your inside with my love and my faith. All that you need is more fellowship with me. Not more praying, or fasting or doing all the things religion told you to do. Just see yourself in me. Rest in me. Imagine that I am between you and your problems because I am. Hide yourselves in me.

     Never forget that you only change the outside by changing what is inside. Any external problem that arises only comes to test the truth that is inside you. You should never see problems as punishment or as a curse. There is no more of that. All of that was ended when you were crucified with my Son. The law poured all of its wrath and anger and punishment upon my Son when he drew you into himself. We took all that away.

     You were crucified with my Son; you were raised into new life. All problems arise to test to see if you believe that truth. You have passed from death to life and the more you rest in me the more revelation you will have of this truth until all you problems disappear.

     Think of it this way: In school you are given information to learn. Then you are given a test to see if you learned the information. It is the same in the kingdom. You were given the truth that you are above all principalities and powers and over all things that could ever defeat you. Then the test comes to see if you believe it and will remain seated in my peace, or if you will arise and fight like a person who doesn’t know that these things are already defeated. This is what it means to fight the good fight of faith. You are not fighting against problems or things you are fighting to remain in the truth that you have already overcome all things.

     Remember what you were told in scripture? He that believes has entered into rest. Are you in the fight or are you resting in my Son knowing that that death, hell and the grave are already defeated. So many of my children are trying to pull down this and tear down that not knowing that those things are already destroyed. They are fighting ghosts of the past assuming they are still living things. My Son was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, so if you are still fighting a devil then you haven’t believed that my Son accomplished what he was sent for.

     So my beloved ones: Find a quiet place. Sit down and close your eyes and look deep inside your own heart. You see that? This is me smiling at you from the inside. Now spend a few moments just soaking up my love for you. Now; one by one give me your worries and cares and problems. I will show you that they were already taken care of. I will take your worries and I will give you my peace to replace your worries.

     Oh my dearest ones; you are so loved. You are and will always be the delight of my heart. I adore you with all that I am. Let this truth soak in and worry no more. I am your answer. Rest in the answer and forget your problem. I am your answer.



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