Psalm Twenty Three

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.


Matthew Chapter Fourteen

22. Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. 

When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 

 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 

 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”



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

     My beloved children: Do not be afraid! Again I say: Do not be afraid!

     There is no reason to fear. These things you are facing will pass. Remember that there are only three things that eternally remain and these are faith, hope and love. All other things are temporary and will pass.

     I would like to remind you that I am still on my throne and that throne is in your heart. I am with you and in you so much that we are not two but one. You are Spirits of my Spirit. You have no reason to fear. You are an eternal being. Even if you move out of your body you only move into a better one. No reason to fear.

     My loved ones we are going through this together. I told you that if you walk through the valley of the shadow of death I would be with you. Remember that it’s only a shadow. Why would you be afraid of a shadow? We are going out the other side of this together.

     Take just a moment and remember those who came before you. The children of Israel went through the Red Sea and through the wilderness. 

The three Hebrew children went through the fire and all that was burned was the ties that bound them. 

Daniel went through the lion’s den. 

Most of all; my Son went through a beating and through the cross and through the tomb and through hell and back and remains forever my Son and your King.

     So why are you afraid? Those who are afraid are only afraid because they think they are separated from me. They think I am far away in heaven and they are on earth fending for themselves. Nothing could ever be farther from the truth. I am with you always.

     My loved ones: You were crucified with Christ and yet you live. The life force keeping you alive now is not your spirit. It is mine. Your lives are hidden in my Son and my Son is hidden in me. None can pluck you out of my hand. You are just as safe as you would be in heaven for that is where you really are. Only in your mind are you anywhere else. You are seated with me in the heavenly realm. Only your mind goes to the lower levels. There is nothing to fear.

     So please my loved ones. Put on your walking shoes. We are going through this time of trouble and out the other side but we will not go through it in fear but in joy and singing. It is my delight to be your protector. I am Almighty God and I am in you and with you to ensure your safety.

     Just remember the lesson you learned through my beloved Peter. You can walk on the stormy waters as long as you keep your eyes on me and even if you start to sink I will catch you. Oh my sweet loved ones: If only you knew just how safe you are.

     There is nothing to fear. I fed a whole nation in the wilderness and not only them but their livestock also. I provided them with food and water and shelter and heat and cool and clothing. 

     What you are going through is not a challenge to me. Just rest in my love for you and fill your hearts and voices with song. This is a great time to rejoice for your God is in you and with you.

     Soon you will forget about this time and place and it will be just a distant memory. I am with you and we are going to the other side. Do not be afraid. Again I say rejoice for we are going to the other side.

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,

Hello Love: Goodbye Fear!

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

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

First John Chapter Four

15. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.



     I was praying early this morning for all those who are affected by the virus that is the big news all over the world. I see so much fear and even see churches closing in fear and it saddens me that so many of us who claim to be people of faith are acting just like we don’t know the good news of who our God is and how much we are loved.

     As I was praying I asked Father what I should share with those whom I can reach to try to calm their fears and get them back focused on truth. Father spoke to me and said “give them these words.” Hello Love: Goodbye Fear.

     He then told me to write down these words and publish them for all to read and hear. He said:

     My loved ones: Did you forget? Did you forget you have a savior who delivered you from darkness and brought you into our kingdom? Why are you afraid? Did you forget how much you are loved? Do you not know that even the hairs of your head are numbered?
I know every detail in your life. I know all about you and know things about you that you haven’t discovered yet.

     I love you with love so great that I calculated your lives and down to the cellular level. I know your cells individually. I know and love all things about you. So why do you continue to lose focus on truth and gravitate to fear? 

     As you heard in the scriptures above, those who are afraid are not perfected in love, for fear is based on belief that you deserve torment. Once you are perfected in love you will not fear anything in this world or in the one to come or in heaven above or down below. There is nothing to fear.

     My loved ones: I told you in scripture that he that is joined to me is “one” Spirit. You must stop seeing yourselves as separated from me. I am not near to you. I am in you. We are not two. We are one. You were baptized into my Son. You are not separated from him.

     When fear tries to steal your thoughts imagine that Jesus is standing between you and whatever you are afraid of. Now see yourself stepping into Jesus and hiding inside him. This is where you truly are already. You are “in” Christ. So where is your fear now?

     My sweet beloved ones: I love you too much to allow you to dwell in fear when you can dwell in my peace. You don’t have to be afraid. Fear is a choice. You can choose to laugh or cry. You can choose to be happy or sad. You can choose to be bold or fearful.

     What do you have to lose? You are living in eternity already. Life has come and swallowed up all the death that could ever affect you. You have already passed from death to life. So why be afraid of the road you have already traveled that lies way behind you?

     To live is Christ, to die is gain. Do you remember these words from my beloved Paul? You have absolutely nothing to fear. 

     Here is the way you fight the fear that is tormenting you. You surrender to love. You don’t have to scream and fight or bind any imaginary being that religion scared you with. You just submit yourself to me and that is how you fight the fallen mindset of fear. You overcome evil with good. You don’t have to fight evil with anything other than the good news of what was already done for you.

     Please my loved ones. Say hello to love and goodbye to fear. Never be afraid again. Stand strong in my love for love is the power of my might. Love never fails and you live inside my love. No more fear. Trust and rejoice for all this will shortly pass by and you will wonder why you were afraid.

     Don’t buy the doom and gloom and fear they are selling you. Stand in the truth. If you abide in my secret place then nothing can touch you. If you dwell in fear you open yourself up for the torment that fear brings. All things work together for your good because you love me. When all this fear has gone you will find that you not only made it through but came out the other side even more blessed.

     My loved ones; I am with you and in you and you are in me and we are one. Don’t be afraid my little ones. The God who watches over you watches from inside you and I never sleep or slumber. Your Shepherd knows how to protect the flock. Trust in him. Once again my loved ones: Say: Hello LOVE: Goodbye fear!

     This is the end of the words he gave me this morning.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

Sharing The True Gospel

John Chapter One

29. The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the (sin of the world!)


First Corinthians Chapter Fifteen

22. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall (all) be made alive. But each in his own order:

Second Corinthians Chapter Five

14. For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore (all have died;) and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.

    Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, (not counting their trespasses against them,) and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 

 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 

First John Chapter Two

1. My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins and (not only our sins but the sins of the whole world.)

Acts Chapter Ten

1. In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to God. One afternoon about three o’clock, he had a vision in which he saw an angel of God coming toward him. “Cornelius!” the angel said.

Cornelius stared at him in terror. “What is it, sir?” he asked the angel.

And the angel replied, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by God as an offering! Now send some men to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter. He is staying with Simon, a tanner who lives near the seashore.”

As soon as the angel was gone, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, one of his personal attendants. He told them what had happened and sent them off to Joppa.

The next day as Cornelius’s messengers were nearing the town, Peter went up on the flat roof to pray. It was about noon, and he was hungry. But while a meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw the sky open, and something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners. In the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles, and birds. Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat them.”

“No, Lord,” Peter declared. “I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure and unclean.”

But the voice spoke again: “Do not call something unclean if God has made it clean.” The same vision was repeated three times. Then the sheet was suddenly pulled up to heaven.


Ephesians Chapter One

11. In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,

First Timothy Chapter Two

1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; (who will have all men to be saved,) and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself (a ransom for all,) to be testified in due time.



     As I was praying today these verses bubbled up into my heart. As I meditated on them Jesus spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you. He said:

     My loved ones; stop calling unclean what I have cleansed! I poured out my blood to save all. I was lifted up and drew all men unto me. Yet my very own church tries to divide people from people. I do not divide. I gather all things together into one, in heaven and earth.

     My loved ones, you must learn and share the true gospel. What I did I did for all. I am the light that lights every man who comes into the world. It is my will that none should perish and my will is being done.

     My church divides people into what they call lost and saved. I see men as they truly are. They are washed in my blood and cleansed from all unrighteousness. I died for all; so all died. Each and every one was crucified with me on that cross. I did this so I could have grace on all. If only my church would share the grace they find for themselves with the ones they try to pronounce unclean.  My loved ones; I already sanctified, justified and glorified and when you call any man unclean you are calling me a liar. 

     It’s time to unlearn the lies you have learned by religion. When I was on the cross my Father was with me. Holy Spirit was with me as you were told by Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. I was not counting men’s sins against them. If I have forgiven then why do my people hold sins against others?

     This is why evangelism is so hard for my church. They don’t see my finished work. Instead of telling people that I have already forgiven their sins and taken their blame they try to convince them of sin and make them feel guilty. This is not the gospel. The gospel is not what you must do but what I already did.

     The only way to win the hearts of those you are trying to reach is by telling them the truth. They are not wicked. They are asleep to the righteousness that was imputed to them. This is why you were told to awake unto righteousness and sin not. Those who walk in unrighteousness are asleep to the fact that they have been made right by the blood that I shed for them. The awakening to the truth is what you call being born again. It’s that moment you realize that I am inside you and not far away.

     It’s time to tell the truth. Speak the truth in love. Tell others that they are forgiven and loved and they were included in my plan before the world was made. This is the true gospel and it is the great news!

     Did you notice in scripture when the blind man came to me I asked him what he wanted me to do? I saw him as complete. I didn’t see the lie of his blindness. I saw the truth of his sight and called him up to the truth. It’s the same with the man with the withered hand. I told him to stretch forth his hand. I didn’t see it as withered but saw it perfectly whole and called him up to the higher truth of his wholeness.

     This is the way that prayer and evangelism works. You take those who are sick and broken and you declare to them the truth that they were reconciled to me on that cross. They are innocent because of my sacrifice and then call them up to the higher truth that they are well and loved and whole. You will know the truth and the truth will make you free. The truth is you are forgiven and loved and blessed and whole and focusing on the truth destroys the lies of hate and sickness and poverty.

     As long as you condemn and separate you will never gather with me but will only scatter. You must see each person as I see them. No longer see them as a flesh creature but see them as a spirit born of incorruptible seed from an incorruptible Father.

     Always come back to the message of the prodigal son. He may have been in sin and lack and brokenness but he never ceased being a son. You are not a son because of what you do but you are a son because you were born of Spirit. Come up to the truth and bring all whom you know with you to this truth.

     Never call unclean what I have cleansed. Learn to see only good and do not look for evil. Find the light in each and every person you meet and fellowship with the light within them. 

     I have given every man the measure of faith. Find that faith within them and reveal it to them. Love conquers all. I am the light that lights every man who comes into the world so look for my light in all. You will find it if you keep looking. Keep looking for the light and do not condemn.

     My little children love each other as I have loved you. Don't forget that you are my beloved and so are all. My love never fails. So walk and live in my 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

What You See is What You Get

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

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,

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
