Matthew Chapter Six

22. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Colossians Chapter Three

1. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Philippians Chapter Four

8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.



     I was in my woodshop working on a saw when Father’s voice came to me. He said “Tell them; What you see is what you get.” I put down my saw and pondered this statement for a few moments. I suddenly realized he was about to say a lot more so I went to my computer to listen and write. He gave me these words to share with you. He said:

     My beloved ones, where are you looking? Where is your focus? Are you looking into the darkness or are you staring into the glory? Everything you see in your news or your television programming is there to make you stare at the darkness. Those who love chaos are doing this on purpose. They know that what you see is what you get and while you wallow in worry and misery they laugh and have a great time and count the money they make from selling you bad news.

     Sadly, it’s the same in the churches. Those who should be encouraging you are telling you that the world is becoming hell on earth? Is this what my Son told you to pray and believe in? Did he say hell be on earth as it is in hell or did he say to pray and expect heaven on earth?

     You are made in my image and my likeness. You have the power to create. I imagined the world and the entire universe and used the power of my Spirit to form it into physical substance and natural reality. You have this same power. When you imagine things the power of your spirit creates things and brings them into your world.

     So what am I saying? I am saying that it’s time to turn your eyes away from lies and from darkness and focus on bringing light and truth into the world. Those who love darkness develop a plan for bringing chaos into the world and then they find some so called prophet in a church to prophesy it. When the people believe it they form that image in their minds and it is created in the world.

     My beloved ones: There is only one power in existence. I am this power. I gave myself and my power to you to freely use for whatever you desire. I would hope that you would only use it to create heaven. There is no all powerful devil running around tearing up whosoever he desires. My Son defeated this darkness and stripped every entity of whatever little power they had and this is why he said “All authority in heaven and earth has been given unto me."

     My children are confused. They think there is an evil power that is almost as powerful as me and there is war between the powers and it could go either way. Let me ask you. How much authority is all authority? Do you really think I would create any being who could challenge my authority and force me off of my throne?

     It’s so simple. If you use the power of your inner eye, which is your imagination and you see miracles and good everywhere you look, then your world will attract good and perfect. If you use your imagination to see darkness and chaos and sickness and crime then you will attract that into your experience. Whatever your eye is full of your body or your natural experience will be full of.

     This is why it’s so important to set your mind on things above. This will bring the things you see above right into your experience. This is why my Son told you to consider the lilies of the field and the birds of the air. When you set your mind on beauty and on plenty then that is what flows into your world. If you imagine lack, poverty, sickness and disease you will experience those things.

     Many know this but would rather blame all their problems on the devil and not face the fact that they are creating their experience in their own imagination. Many don’t want to separate themselves from thinking like the crowd thinks. They don’t want to be different from everyone else. If the whole crowd runs off a cliff they just follow like cattle. 

     Jesus told you in the book of Mark Chapter seven:

And Jesus said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

     These things aren't caused by some devil but they come from within the darkened heart. 

     I put you in a garden. This garden is a beautiful place within you. All that you ever need is growing there. It’s the secret place within your heart where we live as one. I gave you authority over the inner garden. Whatever you plant in the inner garden shows up in the outer garden called your life experience. You have been given dominion over all the creeping things that try to creep into your mind and you must run them out. You must tend the garden of your imagination if you want the outer garden to flourish.

     My loved ones, my plan hasn’t changed. Jesus told you the plan. The plan is my kingdom reign on earth just as in heaven. It’s really simple. It’s my world but you are the caretakers. You must take responsibility for your world. My Son came and showed you the way. He showed you to keep your eyes set on me. As your eyes are set on me you will see what I am doing just like he did. You will go about doing good healing all who are oppressed by the fallen mind.

     It’s up to you my beloved. By filling your imagination with light and love you can produce bountiful crops of heaven on earth. If you continue to focus on what you call evil then nothing will change.

     Don’t forget that evil has no power of its own. What you call evil is a lack of light and love just like there is no such thing as darkness but it’s only the lack of light that creates the illusion. When I said “let there be light” I meant for always. Light is and has always been available.

     Sickness is not a power but a lack of health. Hate is not its own power but is a lack of love. Poverty is a lack of distribution. My earth contains and grows enough for all to be wealthy. My love has the power in it to make earth just like heaven. Do you remember the Psalm you call Psalm one hundred fifteen?

The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind.

     It was my good pleasure to give you the kingdom and the power to change the earth into heaven. It’s your responsibility. No more putting it off until some day in the sweet by and by when my Son returns. The fullness of God dwells in Christ and Christ dwells in you. You are lacking nothing.

     I made you in my image and likeness. What more could you need? Jesus said it was better for him to go away because he was one person in one place. When Holy Spirit came and was poured out on “all flesh” then the fullness of Father, Son and Spirit that was in Christ is now in each of you. Those who think they need to wait on a physical reappearing of Jesus on the earth have no idea just how powerful Holy Spirit is inside them.

     No more excuses. Wake up to who you are and why you are here. Use the great power of your imagination to focus on the light and love of heaven and then funnel that heaven into your world. No more fear. No more worry. You are more than conquerors so no more excuses.

     As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Think only of truth. You are created in my image and in my likeness. You are not poor sinners saved by grace. You are the living breathing sons and daughters of Almighty God and you have been given the power to rule and reign with me on the earth. You are kings and priests. You are a chosen and holy generation. No more imagining yourselves as grasshoppers. Stand up and be who you are. No more great big devil and little tiny God.

     You can change the world if you change what you see. See only good. Find good in every person and situation. See all men as those created in my image. Don’t look at people as good and evil, as rich and poor as lost and found. See all men as they are. My Apostle Paul told you to know no man after the flesh. See all mankind as your brother and sister in the Spirit and love those who persecute you. Don’t condemn them. Love them.

     As you do this your life experience will be full of heaven. You will see the beauty in all things and you will truly see heaven on earth. Once you see heaven on the inside you will produce it on the outside because what you see is what you get.



     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

Always One: Never Divided

Ephesians Chapter One

3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us (in him) before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him

Ephesians Chapter Four

1: I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Acts Seventeen

28. For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'

First Corinthians Chapter Six

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.



     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 little ones; put away the lies. You are not divided from me. You are not separated from me. You are and will always be my child. You are spirit and I am the Father of all. There is no division in my mind; it only exists in your broken imagination.

     Think of it this way. If your child goes astray is he still your child? Does he lose the family name just because he either ran away or got drawn away or just got lost? How long will you continue to live the lie?

     We are one. Not two. We are one. Spirit is different than flesh. Spirit does not divide itself from Spirit. I took of my Spirit and birthed you with my own self. You are born of my Spirit and you are not separate from me because of mistakes you made or because you don’t want to be part of me.

     Religion has told you that you must keep all the rules or you will be rejected. That is not the way family works. In my family you are given grace to live by and I write my laws into your heart so that they become your nature. If you break one of these you are not cast out of the family but are corrected in love so that you will continue to grow into the image of Christ.

     Those of you with your own children know this. They aren’t just part of you. It's much more than that. They are you. They are your hopes and dreams and your very life. It’s time to end the craziness and time for my children to grow up into the knowledge of me and my love.

     For centuries religion has tried to separate you from me by telling you that actions are stronger than blood. This is not so. You have never been separated from me except in your own mind and thoughts. I told you through my Son that I will never leave you and never forsake you. It’s not that I wont; it’s that I can’t. I am one Spirit with you and we can’t be separated.

     I know this makes religious people angry and even angry enough to kill my Son. They won’t accept my loving grace. They don’t believe that the blood of my Son was enough to take away all the sins of the entire world for all time. They seek to divide denomination against denomination and male against female and divide you politically and by race and economics.

     It’s time to stop listening to anyone who divides you one against the other. Soon the whole world will be awake and no longer will brother take up sword against brother because of so called religion. My Son is the Prince of Peace and Peace is coming.

     How much more plainly could it be said than how my Apostle Paul said it? There is One God and Father of All. I am the Father of all. Even the ones who don’t know they are my children are still my children.

     Do you remember that my Son told you to call me Father when you pray? He told you never to call anyone else on earth your Father. Why did he do this? He did it so that you would absolutely know that you were my child before you came to this world and while you are in this world and after you ascend into the higher realm you will still be my child. You were not accidental. You were not the product of your earthly parents. They helped build you a body but the part of you that is a conscious living spirit came from me.

     This is why marriage and children is so beautiful. It’s a man, a woman and me working together in love to bring a spirit from heaven to the earth. Some say life begins at birth and some say at conception but both are wrong. It began before the world was made when I took you from inside my own Spirit and birthed you just so I could hug you and love you and bless you and show you my kindness for ages eternal.

     You are so much more loved than you could ever imagine. You are here on the earth to express my love and to express my beauty. The world is my picture frame and I put you here as a living photograph to show off your beauty and excellence to all those who are unseen by the physical eye.

     I adore you and I am proud of you and I love being your Father and your friend. I love living in you and as you. I just wish you would get over yourselves and stop condemning yourselves and find out who you truly are. As long as you judge yourselves by rules and not by truth you will never know who you are.

     Do you remember that I told you that the letter kills but the Spirit gives life? Start living by the spirit laws that are in your heart and not by tablets of stone. Stop condemning yourselves when you make a mistake. Remember; I am never going to leave you so you might as well get used to me.

     It’s time to know me as I truly Am. The light that lights you up inside, is it you or me? Yes. My Son told you that he and I are one. He also told you that he is the way, the truth and the life. He didn’t say a way, a truth and a life. Once you realize there is only one spirit that empowers all men you will be free from the division in the world.

     Soon all will know me from the least to the greatest and they will discover that I have never been far away. I have always been in you and with you and you have always been with and in me.

     I loved you so much that I sent my Son to show you the way. I didn’t need blood to satisfy my anger. You wanted blood to satisfy your guilt. Jesus came to show you that we are so inseparable that even if you kill me I will love you while you do it.

     Do you remember that He told you that greater love has no man than the man who lays down his life for his friends? So were you my enemy or my friend? Did he lay his life down because he was angry or because he loves you? My beloved; the only place you have ever been my enemy is in your broken imagination.

     The idea of a blood thirsty angry God was born in ignorance. This is not who I am. Do you remember that my prophet Jeremiah said that when I led them out of Egypt we didn’t discuss blood sacrifices? It was never my idea. I met a fallen man where he was because even though his mind was so broken that he thought I wanted blood, I still loved him.

     My Son laid down his life and poured out his blood not because I was angry but because I love you. I didn’t beat one Son to death so others could go free. Mankind did that. Do you remember that my Son told his disciples that he was going to be delivered into the hands of men and men would do to him whatever they wanted? It’s not sinners in the hand of an angry God but a loving God in the hand of angry sinners and I would rather you pour your wrath on me and not on each other.

     My Son came to show you who you are. He came to show you that you are still my children even when you think you aren’t. Even when you are so angry at me you could kill me I am still your Father. Even when you don’t believe in me and believe I failed you I am still your Father and still in love with you.

     So my beloved ones; get over all the religious lies you have believed. Why hold on to a lie? So what if you believed it for fifty years. Throw it out like trash.

     You are inseparable from me. We are one. There is nothing that can separate you from my love. I Am Love and you are Love also because we are one.

     So remember to soak up all the love I have for you by remembering how precious you are to me and take that love and share it with everyone you meet. Love and forgive each other and never forget how much heaven adores you. Remember that we will are always one, never divided.



     This is the end of the words He spoke to me moments ago.
I hope you are encouraged by these words and I hope you know that I love each of you with all my heart.  

I pray for each of you daily and I am delighted to do so.Thanks again for sharing this journey with me. 

I’ll see you soon,
michael

Your Passion is Your Pulpit

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

Acts Chapter Nine

36. There was a believer in Joppa named Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was always doing kind things for others and helping the poor. About this time she became ill and died. Her body was washed for burial and laid in an upstairs room. But the believers had heard that Peter was nearby at Lydda, so they sent two men to beg him, “Please come as soon as possible!”

So Peter returned with them; and as soon as he arrived, they took him to the upstairs room. The room was filled with widows who were weeping and showing him the coats and other clothes Dorcas had made for them. But Peter asked them all to leave the room; then he knelt and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Get up, Tabitha.” And she opened her eyes! When she saw Peter, she sat up! He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then he called in the widows and all the believers, and he presented her to them alive.

Acts Chapter Sixteen

13. On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a riverbank; where we thought people would be meeting for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there. One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying. She and her household were baptized, and she asked us to be her guests. “If you agree that I am a true believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my home.” And she urged us until we agreed.

Acts Chapter 19

11. God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles so that when handkerchiefs or aprons that had merely touched his skin were placed on sick people, they were healed of their diseases, and evil spirits were expelled.



    A few days ago I was seeking for an answer to give so many people I hear from. It seems as if they are not in what we call full time ministry then they believe they are not completely following God. 

     Most of these people have amazing gifts and are doing wonderful work in the work they do. Others are talented in music or carpentry or mechanics and want to leave their work profession and go into preaching or starting a church.

     As I was praying about this these verses came up before me and Father Spoke to me this statement: Your passion is your pulpit!

     As I asked him what he meant he asked me to write down these words and share them with all. He said:

     My beloved ones; I have given each of my children gifting. Each of you is blessed with a passion for doing something. Some are working jobs they hate because there is no passion for doing that job. Some are doing things they love to do but think they are not worthy of me unless they quit what I gave them to do and do what religion tells them is truly following me.

     It’s time to understand that if I want you in a church preaching behind a pulpit I will put you there. If I want you working at a particular place I will arrange it. But most of all I want you to be free to follow the passion I put in your heart. 

    I give you the desires of your heart. I don’t give you the burdens. Those who say that they gave up all they had to follow me and it’s been a burden didn’t do so at my request. I am not saying that it’s not hard but whatever you are called by me to do you have been given a grace to do it. My Son told you that my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

     My loved ones; so many of you are gifted business owners, teachers, musicians, artists, mechanics, welders builders, plumbers, designers, chefs, bakers, entertainers, comedians, and the list goes on and on and on. I gave you these gifts to teach you how to co create with me. When you use the gift you were given you are creating joy and goodness into the world.

     If all were preachers, where would you live? If all were preachers what would you drive? If all were preachers where would you work? If your plumbing is backed up do you want to call a preacher to pray for it or a plumber to come fix it?

     But here is the truth. You all are preachers. I poured out my Spirit on all flesh and all prophesy and dream dreams and have visions. You have my Spirit and your light shines wherever you are. What I want for you is for you to do what you love to do and that will open a whole new world for you.

     As you find your passion and begin to give yourself to it you will find that the creative power that is used to create doesn’t just affect the thing you are creating. Most musicians know this. If you go too long without playing you feel depressed and your whole life suffers. It’s the same with all other gifting. This is why so many are frustrated. This frustration bleeds over into every area of your life.

     As you pursue the passion that I put within you all grace will abound to you. Sure not all singers and musicians and writers get wealthy at what they do but as they pursue their passion then other avenues to bring out the wealth that is already in you arise.

     You were given all things that pertain to life and Godliness. Pursuing your passion brings these things out of you and prosperity fills your world. Many seek to use their passion to make money but wouldn’t it be better to have enough that you could give away your creation and still have plenty?

     My loved ones, your passion is your pulpit. Think of the one called Tabitha. Her passion for making and giving things away brought her back from the dead. And think of Paul. The aprons he wore while working healed people on contact with them. Think of Lydia whose passion for be a merchant in material brought her to the gospel. Think of all of these. Just following their passion got their names in holy scripture. Where will yours take you?

     Do you see that everything you do is anointed? It’s not just when you preach or share the gospel. You are anointed to teach a class or paint a picture or write a song or swing a hammer. There is no such thing as holy and secular. I made all things new and all things are of me.

     Any time you create you are imitating me. No matter how small or how large you are co building the world with me. I want you to know that you are all chosen of me and no one is more important than another. 

     Just because someone stands behind a pulpit in front of a camera doesn’t mean he is more anointed than you are. Just think of where most errors you have learned in your life have come from. They have come from people behind pulpits in front of cameras who are not really following their passion. Most of these were gifted to do other things but religion led them the wrong way. 

     When I sent my Son to save the world he didn’t go to the educated and religious people. He picked fisherman and plain people to change the world. When we chose Paul we had to take away from him all the religion that he learned so that he could know truth.

     My loved ones: Don’t think you are defined by your job title. You are my children and heirs of the whole earth and all of heaven. You are all equal and beloved in my sight. There is no one any more loved because of what they do. You are loved because of who you are.

     So please if you don’t know it already. Find your passion. What makes you feel creative? Find a way to do this more and create with me. This will unlock the anointing within you to change your whole world. It may be that you will find wealth in the pursuit of your passion but if it doesn’t come from there then you will find opportunities that will prosper you so that you can continue to pursue your passion.

     For freedom’s sake you have been made free. Don’t let others put you in bondage because you don’t carry a title of pastor, or apostle or prophet. No position on earth is higher than Sons and Daughters of the Almighty God.

     Don’t forget. You are anointed so all that you do is anointed. If you follow your passion your light will shine brighter and others will come to the light within you. This is the way the gospel is to be spread. When you love what you do others will want to know what makes you so happy. So now you have a pulpit. Your passion is your pulpit.

     So if you are a painter then paint. If a singer, then sing. If a builder, build all you can build. If you are a teacher, teach with enthusiasm knowing that the light within you may be the only light your student sees today.

     No matter what you do in passion, do it just because it brings you joy and I will be glorified in it. I enjoy giving you the desires and the giftings that bless your life. I love what you love. Don’t forget my beloved; find your passion. Your passion is your pulpit.



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

Abide in Me: Abide in Love

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

Genesis Chapter Two

15. The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the LORD God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”

Hosea Chapter Four

6. My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me.

John Chapter Eight

31. So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Hebrews Chapter Eight

11. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.



     As I was sitting quietly listening for his voice today all these verses kept coming into my thoughts. I meditated on them for a few moments to hear what they would teach me. As I was listening Jesus spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and publish them for all of his loved ones to hear. He said:

     My beloved ones: The great awakening and enlightening is underway. Many of you know with all your hearts that you are not living in your physical realm what you know you have in the spiritual realm. You see my promises in my scriptures but you can’t seem to live out what you know is available. So what is the problem? I am glad you asked.

     My loved ones, you can’t keep eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and live only in the good. Until you stop judging everything by knowledge you will struggle.

     Judging and condemning will never fix the problem. You are taught by religion to condemn anyone or anything that doesn’t abide within their rules. This is not the way to live.

     When you see or hear something that religion tells you is bad do you respond by saying” that is awful” or do you just observe and pray for light and love to heal the people who are affected and the people who were the cause? Can you learn to love the offender and the offended the same?

     Do you remember that I told you that whatever judgment you hand out will be returned to you? This is not because I am angry but it’s a law that is built into creation. You must reap what you sow and when you judge another you bring condemnation to your own heart.

     In the beginning Adam didn’t know good and evil. He only knew me. He lived in heavenly paradise as long as he only knew me. As long as he believed he was complete in me he lived in love and harmony with me. When he considered that he was missing something or that I had withheld something useful from him he entered into darkness of his own mind. When I asked him where he was it wasn’t because I didn’t know physically where he was. I was asking him where his conscious thoughts were. He took his mind off of me and put it in darkness instead. Perfect love casts out fear. As long as he was focused on my love he was not afraid. As soon as he considered anything else but love he became afraid.

     It’s the same today. When you stop to curse the darkness you are not letting your light shine. You can’t curse and bless at the same time. To be spiritually minded is life and peace and to focus on the fleshly realm of right and wrong and good and bad brings death.

     As long as you keep your minds and hearts pointed toward me you will have peace. It’s only when you lose your focus that you forget you can walk on the troubled waters that are disturbing you.

     It’s not good and evil you need to know. Eternal life is in knowing my Father and knowing me and knowing that you are one of us and are in us and we are in you.

     Think of it this way: The Pharisees were so focused on sin that when a man who was born blind was healed right before them, they still asked me for a sign. They couldn’t see the miracle because they were focused on sin. It’s the same with you. As long as you look at what you call evil in the world you won’t see the miraculous all around you.

     It’s so deceiving and so simple to get bogged down in the day to day news and the politics of the world that you forget you are not of this world. The world wants to keep your focus there so you won’t awaken to who you are. Soon each of you will be wide awake and the world will change quickly.

     The fact that you are listening and hearing these words means you are awakening. You know the religious garbage you have been feasting on your whole lives is not true. You are not sure how you know but in your heart you don’t see in the so called church what you see in your heart. Soon you will see clearly because as you take your focus off the world and set it back on me you will be so full of light that you will drive darkness out of the world.

     This is why when Peter walked by people were healed by what they thought was his shadow. He kept his eyes on me. Do you remember that he said he wouldn’t leave the “word of God” to wait tables? He kept his focus on me and kept his ear tuned to my voice. He became so conscious of who I am and who he is that healing flowed out of him.

     My loved ones: Tune out the voice of the world and the voice of condemnation and tune in to me. I am always speaking to you and encouraging you and telling you that you are so far above the circumstance that you are worried about. As you continue in my word you will become my true disciples and you will come to know the truth that makes you free. I AM that truth!

     You are taught to learn facts about me and memorize verses and do all the things that teach you about me. Although these are wonderful things to do, they won’t make you know who I am. 

     Faith comes by hearing. Not by reading. Faith comes as you hear my voice in your heart. I stand at the door of your attention all day asking you to open the door to your thoughts and let me in.

     It’s time to know me and to know your true self. As I am so are you. I am the firstborn among many brethren. We have the same Father. I long for you to know this truth and come up to a higher consciousness and live in the fullness of who we are. No more struggling like an earth creature but living in the fullness of Holy Spirit and in fellowship with me in truth.

     You were told to set your mind on things above. Keeping your minds focused on the world and its problems will not fix the problems. Filling your minds with the truth of who we are will cause the power that is within you to change the world without ever setting your attention on it. The river of life within you will flow out into the world and will heal the nations. The fruit that you bear will be always in season and will feed the nations until all know me from the least to the greatest.

     Arise my beloved! Arise in the consciousness that you are heavenly beings living on the earth to change the earth into heaven. When you realize that heaven is within you then you will be overflowing with life. Please remember my loved ones that as your eyes become single and you don’t look for good or evil but only look to me then the glorious light within you will change this world.

     I am in you and with you. No more looking outside for an answer. I am your answer. Judgment is not the answer. Condemnation is not the answer. Worry and stress and jealousy are not the answer. Love is the answer. No matter what the question; love is the answer.

     My friends; my loved ones: Remain in my love and stay focused on my love. Abide in me. Abide in love.



     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

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
