Jonah Chapter Two

Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish. He said,

“I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble,

and he answered me.

I called to you from the land of the dead,

and LORD, you heard me!

You threw me into the ocean depths,

and I sank down to the heart of the sea.

The mighty waters engulfed me;

I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.

Then I said, ‘O LORD, you have driven me from your presence.

Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’

“I sank beneath the waves,

and the waters closed over me.

Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.

I sank down to the very roots of the mountains.

I was imprisoned in the earth,

Whose gates lock shut forever.

But you, O LORD my God,

snatched me from the jaws of death!

As my life was slipping away,

I remembered the LORD.

And my earnest prayer went out to you

in your holy Temple.

Those who worship false gods

turn their backs on all God’s mercies.

But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise,

and I will fulfill all my vows.

For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”

Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.



     It is not unusual for me to wake up early in the morning to the sound of Father’s sweet voice speaking to me. Sometimes he speaks things in humor just to shake me awake. This was one of those days.

    At Three o’clock this morning I was awakened to the words “fish guts” ringing in my heart. What a pleasant thing to hear while your eyes are still glued shut. I gradually opened one eye and said “Lord. Fish guts?” This is the word of the day? Then I heard him laugh.

     He said get up and write down these words and share them with all my beloved whose lives seem to smell like fish guts. To those of you who tried with all your might but everything around you has fallen apart and is beginning to stink. To those who have taken the wrong road like Jonah. To those who are running from me whose lives seemingly have sunk down to the bottom of the earth, to the roots of the mountains in the great deep; speak to them these words:

     My loved ones, you may have gone the wrong way. You may have run from me but you can never get too far that I don’t hear your voice. Just as Jonah cried out to me from the depths and I heard him, so I shall hear you also. 

     Even if your life went from calm seas to stormy seas to being thrown overboard in the sea, only to be eaten by a fish. I am still with you. Even if you are locked in the earth in death where the doors don’t seem to open, I will hear you. I have not abandoned you.

     My dear children, my delight, you can run from me but you forget that I am in you, so no matter where you run I am still with you. So stop running from me and run to me. I love you and have great plans for your life. I have not forsaken you.

     Read and hear the prayer of my servant Jonah once again. Listen to it carefully. Notice how that even in his terrible condition he remembered that I was good. He prayed earnestly a prayer of deliverance mixed with worship. It’s not the formula of the prayer I want you to study. It’s the heart of the prayer. It’s the deepest part of his heart knowing that I am good and merciful even to those who have not gone the way I directed.

     A prayer without heartfelt feeling is just a recital. The power of prayer is not in the formula or in how many verses you memorized to quote with it. It’s about one heart crying out to another. I have compassion and I am emotional. We connect heart to heart, not head to head. I came to dwell in your heart and from there I write my laws into your heart and onto your mind. I program you with love and truth and the truth is that no matter how much you have messed up I am still in love with you.

     So let’s begin the journey back to truth today. Yes, some of you didn’t go the way I told you to. Some of you ran away instead of toward where I sent you. This doesn’t mean my plan for you is down the drain. It just means you get spit out on the beach. You still get to where you are going. You could have gone by ship on a peaceful sea but you chose the belly of the fish instead. My plan for you doesn’t change because you messed up. It just gets redirected from wherever you have run to.

     Call to me my children, my ears are open. Call to me with all your heart. Remember that I am good and loving and kind and willing to help you. Remember my goodness to all who call upon my name. Remember that I loved you so much that I gave my only son to save you. Remember all the times in the past when I have delivered you. Stir up the remembrance in your heart and pray from there.

     I have a great plan for your life and I have great days ahead for you. I won’t force you to follow that plan. You can choose to walk with me and enjoy the fellowship and the fragrance of heaven or you can smell fish guts. I will love you in either place.

     Don’t ever forget that you are my love and I have loved you from eternity and to eternity. Just because you messed up the present or the past doesn’t mean that I don’t have a glorious future for you. All is not lost. Come to me, talk to me, and let’s work this all out in love and forgiveness. 

     As David said “Even if I make my bed in hell you are with me.” How can I leave you when I live inside you? You are never alone and never too far down that I can’t bring you up. Ask Lazarus or my Son. My love for you doesn’t end at the graveyard.

     You are mine and I adore you even if you do smell like fish guts. Call to me. I will speak to the situation that swallowed you like a fish and I will command it to spit you out on a sunny beach. Oh my beloved, don’t hesitate any longer. Call me.



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

Abide In My Peace: Abide In Me

     After I wrote down the words to today's blog I decided to make a video of the message. You can see the video below. If you prefer to watch on YouTube here is the link:

Abide in My peace video

     If you prefer reading you will find the blog below the video. Thanks for reading, listening and watching the message. God bless you!

 

Psalm 91


9: If you make the LORD your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.

I will reward them with a long life

and give them my salvation.”



Isaiah 26: 3

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,

all whose thoughts are fixed on you!



     As I woke up today, Holy Spirit was using scripture to paint images on my heart. I love it when this happens. It’s as if God is using his own scriptures as paint and my heart as a canvas. It is as if one scripture is this color and another is that and then He blends them together to make something beautiful.

     So as I sat and pondered these verses, he spoke and asked me to write down these words and publish them for all to read and hear.

He said:



     My children, I am a great refuge. I am your safety. I am your healer, your deliverer, your encourager and your comforter. I am available at all time to be all things you could ever need, but you have to choose me in each moment of your life. You have to choose to abide in my shelter and under my wings.

     So how do you do this? You choose me by keeping your thoughts on me and not keeping them on the world and its troubles. Those in the world would teach you to be afraid. They always tell you the end is coming and my wrath is coming. The truth is that what is coming is my fiery love that will destroy darkness and rescue my people.

     I love each and every person who was ever born or ever will be born. I am doing all I can do to save each and every one. All that was needed for the salvation of the world was already accomplished in my son. All that is left is to get the word to all the prodigals that home is waiting and they don’t have to wander in the pig pen anymore. They have lost their way and are fighting among the pigs to scratch out a living when they have an inheritance in me.

     The good news of the gospel is reconciliation. Not anger and wrath. As long as those who are in my church preach wrath the world will remain in confusion. When the true message of my love and salvation is preached the world will be saved.

     This is why I need you to focus on me with every thought. I don’t want you to get bogged down in the fear that the world has. I want you to bask in my peace and be the magnet that draws the world to me. Each person is seeking love and safety and if the church keeps preaching doom and gloom the world will feel safer in their rut than in the church.

     My son is the hope of the world. He is the desire of the nations and it’s time for my people to preach that message again. You must live it to preach it. You must for once and for all let my peace rule your hearts and not let fear rule your heart. What do you have to fear? You have already passed from death to life. You were already transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of my dear Son. There is absolutely no reason for you to ever be afraid.

     So my beloved will you choose to abide in me and live in my peace? Will you block out all the bad news and listen to the good news? What is there to gain by feasting on darkness when you could be feasting on heavenly bread?

     Those who make you afraid don’t love you. They just want to sell you something. Those who preach freedom from fear just want to love you and give you something. They want to give you the peace that is within them that came from me.

     My dear, sweet children, did you forget how much you are loved? Did you forget that I loved you so much that I poured out the most precious life ever to save you? Stop; think about it for a moment. Would I love you that much and not love you enough to protect you?

     There is only one catch; you have to choose my love over fear. You have to take every thought captive and put away the fear by focusing on my love. Your mind is like a machine that runs on thoughts but you can decide what fuel you run on. You can choose fear that clogs up the machine like sludge or you can choose peace which keeps the machine running effortlessly. 

     As a man thinks in his heart so is he. You can think yourself in safety or you can think yourself in fear and torment. Your minds can be renewed to my truth and you can come to the understanding that I dwell within you and you are safe. Nothing can separate you from my love but you can choose to set your mind on fear instead.

     Oh how I love you and wish you were free. Free to play like children and not worry about world events. Free to laugh and run and free to climb into my lap and let me hold you. 

     Those who teach you to be afraid are not the ones in love with you. Focus on the one who is in love with you. Focus on me. Set your minds and hearts on me and on my love for you. Start each day by taking a moment to meditate on my love for you. Don’t get out of bed until you look into my smiling eyes and see me adoring you. Keep that image in your mind and heart and don’t let fear lead you into depression.

     Ask yourself one question: In one million years from now will I still be afraid of the thing that is tormenting me today? If the answer is no then why does it matter? Remember all the things in the past that they said were going to destroy the world? What about them now? The world is still here and still full of people that I love and want to rescue.

     How about we begin with you? Will you run to me and seek safety in my love? Will you take control of your mind and bring it back to peace. Will you turn off all those who seek to scare the hell out of you and let me love the heaven into you? The world is confused. It is preparing for a funeral while heaven prepares for a wedding. What a glorious time is coming!

     Jesus told you that in my house are many mansions. You can dwell in my love for you or you can dwell in fear. You just can’t live in both at once. You live where your mind lives. Live in me my beloved. Please, hear me, I love you and I want you in perfect peace. I want you under my wings. I want you in my lap and not living in fear of what the world is selling.

     My son is the Prince of Peace, not the prince of fear, wrath and destruction. Abide in my peace, abide in my love, and abide in 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

Liar, Liar, Church on Fire

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

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

     While praying today Father spoke to me and said:

     My son, write down these words and publish them so my loved ones can read and hear them. Tell them not to fear. Again I say, tell them not to fear.

     My children, so many of you are hoping against hope. You are standing when your legs are weary and your feet ache. I know all these things. I am with you and my strength will sustain you in all things. You must know that I have a plan for you individually and as a group. I am building and eternal kingdom and there are things that you don’t understand that are happening.

     I am shaking the very foundations of your belief. Your faith has been forged by fire until only the purest part of it remains. This is not pleasant but it is necessary. My church is undergoing deconstruction. So many false teachings and lying traditions have led so many the wrong way. I have to tear down the lies and restore the truth. The false church must be torn down so the eternal church will emerge.

     My gospel, which is my great news, started out as a simple message that unskilled fishermen could preach and children and those who didn’t even have the ability to read and write could understand perfectly. Now you argue over which translation written by the scholar with more letters behind his name than in his name is correct. Spending hours fighting over one letter or one word and wasting a whole day you could have spent in fellowship with me or each other.

     Too much education has made you mad. You must return to the simple truth of the message. I loved the world. I sent my son. He took away the sins of the world and rescued all the hostages who were captive to sin. All that was needed to restore fellowship was completed. All that is left to do is to spread the wonderful news of what was already accomplished.

     It’s not the do’s and the don’ts, it’s the did’s. It is not what would Jesus do? It is what Jesus did. He finished it. He sat down and we sent Holy Spirit to you to teach you what he did so that you could start where he ended.

     Holy Spirit came to teach you just how free you are. You are not waiting to be rescued. You have been rescued. Your cage door was ripped off and you let teachers convince you that the door is still there and terrible things will happen to you if you go outside your cage. This is insanity.

     You are free for freedom’s sake. The Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy, not calamity, fear and oppression. It’s time to shake off the lies and tear down the false teachings. It’s time to explore your freedom.

     Instead of being taught that you must continue to strive against sin all your life, what if you were taught the truth? What if you were taught that your sins were taken away by the blood of my son and now you are holy beings and sin is far from your new creation nature? 

     You are free and you can walk in complete holiness because the power of sin is broken. This is the truth. This is the message that was taught in the beginning. You have been programmed by religion to become slaves to sin even though you are holy beings and you are free.

     I have to tear down all the lies. It’s time for restoration and I can’t build on faulty foundations. So this is why many of you have been put into the fire. You had to see that all the lies you have trusted in didn’t work. You used all the things you were taught to do and found out that they were just programming and not truth.

     Victory is not a method or a program. Victory is a person. He is my son and you overcame in him. Not in your "name it claim it confess until your lips are numb" method. The church of today exchanged a person for a method. Fire has proved that these methods don’t work. Sure you have some success sometimes, but isn’t truth true all the time? If the method was approved by me wouldn’t it be successful one hundred percent of the time?

     My little children, it’s time to reset your faith. It’s time to turn your hearts back to me and my son. It’s time to discover who you are and how much you are loved.

     Think of it this way. Imagine you have a best friend who lives next door. Your friend told you that anytime you need help, just call and he will help you. Now imagine your house caught fire. Instead of calling your friend for help you just stood in the flames confessing “my friend will help me, my friend will help me, it is written in chapter two, verse four of our friendship clause that he will help me.” “I don’t really need my friend because I have his promise.” So instead of calling the friend who would love to help, you go down in flames. See how silly this sounds? Does this sound familiar? Are you calling on words in a book or calling on a living breathing person?

     The good news and truth of the gospel is that you can have fellowship and relationship with me. My son didn’t shed his blood so you could have more religion. He came so you could have fellowship.

     Do you remember that Jesus told you that I seek those who will worship me in spirit and in truth? Do you know why? It is because in heaven we call worship "fellowship." We all adore each other. You sing songs about me and I sing songs about you and we are in so much love.

     This is what I wanted restored in the earth. Before Holy Spirit came you could worship me on a worldly level but you couldn’t experience the spirit level fellowship that we enjoy in heaven. It really is that simple. I just wanted you to step up into my world so I could love you from here. I am a spirit and I want my children to enjoy the freedom of being spirits in my presence.

     Holy Spirit only dwells in holy temples, so Jesus came and took away all your sins and made you holy for my Spirit to dwell in you. Now it is all about teaching you how to live in the invisible kingdom that is not of your world.

     The law and the prophets were until John but since then the kingdom is preached. It’s all about waking you up to the fact that there is a kingdom the world can’t see, but you can see it because you are in it. Once your spirit eyes are fully opened, you will see me face to face and heart to heart. Religion blinds you so that you can’t see things as they really are. This is why I am lighting fire to what you call "church."

     So my loved ones, will you wake up and see the truth? Will you set aside all the lies you were taught and all the false programs that try to get you to an earthly level of holiness that is way below the holiness you were born into? You are my family. You are my friends. You are my love and I want you to see me as I am. I want you to know how much you are loved and how welcome you are in my presence. You are not wicked beings. You are holy beings who got confused because you believed the lie.

     It’s the same old trick. In the garden the serpent said “eat this fruit, gain this knowledge and you will be like God.” Now the church says “learn all these facts and figures and chapters and verses and you will be like God.” My loved ones you are already created in my image and after my likeness. You are born of my Spirit and you are my offspring.

     The whole family in heaven and earth bears my name. Do you think you can add to your inheritance by learning what to do; or will you learn more by knowing who you are? 

     Think about this in the natural so you can understand the spiritual. Were you born with your last name? Who gave it to you? Did you earn it or were you born with it? Did you buy it by good works or did your parents pass it on to you in love?

     Please my beloved, stop struggling to become what you already are. Instead of learning to be my child awaken to the fact that you are my child. Learn who you are and what it means to be who you are by looking at me. How you see yourself will change when you look at me. Look into my eyes and whatever reflection you see of yourself is who you really are. 

     I am the true mirror. When you see me you will be like me. When you see a loving Father who gave all he had because of great love you will be filled with that love and then my fullness can awaken in you.

     Don’t be disturbed when I tear down this monster called religion. It is the beast and false prophet. It speaks blasphemies against me and my son. Blasphemies like “my son’s blood wasn’t enough. Something else must be done to make you holy.” A blasphemy like, “yes, Jesus shed his blood but you still need Moses, and you better give to the church or you will be cursed. ”

     Don’t cry when you see it fall my beloved. Truth will reveal the lies. The day is dawning and religion is burning. The truth is coming to set fire to all that is not built on love. You are born in love, you are my beloved so don’t be afraid. Rest in my love. Don’t be afraid of the flames: Liar, Liar, Church on Fire! 

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

I AM Holy Spirit: I AM God and I love you!

     An audio version of this message will be available on my podcast at the link below:

michaelottministries.podomatic.com


     While praying today Holy Spirit spoke to me. I created a video of the message. You can click on the link right here to see it. video

     For those who prefer reading we will continue.
Here are the words I received.

     My little ones: beloved of your Father, beloved of all of heaven. Did you forget that I am with you? Yes your Father sits on his throne of glory and Jesus is beside him in the seat of honor but I am here and I am here to lead you into perfect love.

     Do you realize that I lead you into the prayers that are best for you, and when you don’t know what is best I pray for you in groaning that you can’t even possible utter. Your body is not capable of producing this frequency and it is beyond the capability of your mind to even fathom. Only with the mind of your spirit can you hear such things. 

     What I am saying is, how can you fail? If God is praying to God for you, how will you fail? Do you not realize that I am God here on earth? Here to help you and to lead you and to show you the way to become mature into your Father’s kingdom. 

     I want you to take time to fellowship with me. Talk to me; treat me like I am really with you because I am. I will never leave you. Our spirits merged when you believed the message of your salvation. We can never be separated. I am with you to take you into the glory to come. I will not let you fail. It is my job to get you there and I will not fail. Jesus came and completed his mission and I am here completing mine. You must learn to know me and to trust me.

     Imagine if Jesus appeared before you in physical form and he prayed for you. Would you believe that his prayer would be answered? I am here and I am praying with you and for you and I will see my prayers and wishes for you fulfilled. I am the rest of God. I am the rest you seek. I am the promise that was promised to Abraham. I am the promise that Jesus told you about. He told you that I would come and lead you into all truth and make you free. I take the truth that was his and reveal it unto you. I am delighted to do so for I love you and I chose this mission because I love you.

     When I arrived, the early church realized I was the cloud by day and the fire by night. They understood that the wind came with the cloud and I multiplied my fire and it rested upon each of them. No longer were they living under the cloud and the fire but the cloud and fire was living in them. This truth was lost over the generations and I am restoring it now. I am the fire and the cloud and I am living in you. In the days in the wilderness the church followed the cloud and now the cloud follows you. I go where you go for I am in you and can never be separated from you.

     So don’t be afraid my beloved. The same cloud that provided for the church in the wilderness is inside you. I give you food to eat and water to drink and give you shade and heat and all things you need are now inside you. I am not above that you need to bring me down or down below that you need to call me up. I am right here living in my temple within you. I looked for the most beautiful place in earth to build my temple and I chose you. You are beautiful to me and I am delighted to be living inside you.

     So now my beloved ones: No more fear. No more anxiety. I am with you. I am praying for you. I will teach you all things you need to know. I am the anointing and the truth that you need. I am the living water and you will never thirst. All you have to do is learn to abide in me as I abide in you. No more living like we are two separate beings. We have to live as one and think as one and become one. We are one already but you have been taught to be blind to this fact.

     Think of it this way. Would you ever say “here comes John Smith and his legs and arms? No, because you see a person as one. You must think the same way in the spirit. We are not two any longer. We are one. We will never be two again. You can learn to live with me as one.

     It’s the same in marriage. A man and woman can live together as two and never really become one. They may share a home and furniture and even children but they never learn to work together and become one. Each tries to rule their own lives and they don’t submit to each other in love. They don’t set common goals and learn to truly walk together as one. They never consult with me to see what I have chosen for them. As a result their lives may be full of possessions but they never reach their full potential. They never learn to live as one.

     This is the way the church has been for centuries. Never submitting to me and becoming one with me. The church wants to go the way of the world and I want to stay in the heavenly mind. I have to go with you into the world because I never leave you, but I can’t participate in sin because I am holy, so I have to go with you and watch you give the love that was meant for me to the world. How my heart is grieved when you choose temporary pleasure over eternal love. My way is life and peace and even though the world can only offer death and anxiety, many still choose to go that way.

     My little ones, it is time for an awakening of truth. It’s time that you get to know me. It’s time for you to understand the plan of eternity and how I am the only one who can lead you there. Only by me can you fulfill your destiny in life. Only by me can you find the truth that makes you free from sin and death.

     Just as the Pharisees searched the scriptures and didn’t recognize the true Word of God when he stood before them so it is today. You search for programs and seek for knowledge and formulas to live in the power of heaven. Yet I am here and so many don’t take time to get to know me. Some denominations think I only came to the apostles. Some think I am just a bird or a feeling that makes bumps on your skin. I am a person. I want you to know me as a person.

     I love you and long for fellowship with you. Can you imagine how it would feel to live in a house with someone who ignores you? They never speak to you or recognize you. They don’t know what you like or don’t like. They don’t know the sound of your laugh or the sound of your sighs. Imagine being invited into someone’s home and then being told to sit down and be quiet while they go about their lives as if you weren’t ever there? Now imagine what is like if you actually lived inside that person and was treated the same way.

     I am patient and kind. I keep wooing you from inside hoping you will hear me. Hoping you will fall in love with the one who has been in love with you forever. Hoping we can have this great fellowship: Hoping that I can teach you the ways of holiness and love and rescue you from depression and danger just because I love you.

     Oh how I love you my children. You are my children. I birthed you in the spirit realm. Your spirits are my offspring. You are not born by the will of the flesh but by my will. I wanted desperately to have a child just like you so I did. You are spirit born from Spirit. You only possess the body you walk in. Please learn to live as spirits and not as bodies with spirits. You can do this if you fellowship with me and let me teach you who you are and who I am. If you would let me reveal to you that I am the God who lives in you then your world would change.

     Sweet children, please spend time with me. Please don’t forget me. I am here waiting for you to get to know me. I know everything about you. I know what your desires are right now and what they will be a million years from now. I know you wants, your hopes your dreams. I want what is best for you. Will you please speak to me and fellowship with me? You don’t have to be lost in the world. Heaven is inside you.

     Let me remind you my loved ones. I Am God The Holy Spirit. I love you so much that I chose to dwell in you. Will you fall in love with me and become one with me? If you will look into my eyes of love the world will lose its hold on you. As you get to know my love you will never long for any other feeling or emotion again. You will be swallowed up by my love and you will never be sad or lonely again.

     I AM Holy Spirit. I AM GOD and I AM in love with you.


     This is the end of the words spoken to me this morning. I hope you are encouraged by them.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael

Romans Chapter Four

18. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping, believing that he would become the father of many nations: For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” 19. And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead, and so was Sarah’s womb. 20. Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.

     I went to sleep last night praying for the church as a whole. I say praying, but it could be more like whining. I minister to so many who are tangled up in the false gospel and the entertainment gospel. I said, “Lord I just don’t know how we will ever get them to see that they are trapped in a system of lies and I want them to see the truth. I keep preaching and preaching and no one seems to be listening.” He didn’t answer my whining and complaining so I drifted off to sleep.

     I I woke up early this morning with these verses repeating over and over in my heart. I have learned when this happens usually its Father trying to correct a wrong belief that I have fallen into or to restore my focus. So, as I prayed about it he began to speak to me and asked me to share the following words with you.

     He said,

     My loved ones, I am able. I am more than able. I know your situation looks hopeless but your situation is not God. I am God and I am able. I am able to do exceedingly; abundantly above all you can ask or think. I will do for you whatever I promise I will do, regardless of your circumstance.

     I told Abraham that I had made him the father of many nations. I did it. I chose him and I made him the father of many nations before he even knew me. It was my plan and my promise. He didn’t talk me into becoming a father. I made him that. When he believed the truth he partook of the righteousness of the promise but the promise was my doing. I didn’t do it because he believed. I did it because I chose to. He became righteous and inherited the promise because he accepted my plan and believed me.

     It looked hopeless. His body was worn out and old. Sarah was long past child bearing years and in the natural there was no way they could have children. But I am above the natural. What you call supernatural I just call normal. To me nothing is hard or impossible. As Jesus told you I could have raised up children to Abraham from the stones of the earth.

     So what I am saying to you my loved ones don’t give up. If I promised you something I will do it and you will see it come to pass. Here is where my children often miss it and get discouraged. They assume all promises are to them when the promise was made to the seed and not to the seeds. Christ inherited the promise and all the inheritance. He is head over all things to the church so it’s his will and his plan that is working all things together. He has a plan and promises for each of you.

     Do you remember that Jesus told Peter that when he was older he would be taken by a way he didn’t want to go? Peter asked about another disciple and was told “what is that to you if he stays until I come?” Christ is the head of the church and there are promises to be distributed to you but you must submit yourself to him. There are particular promises to each of my children but most are not walking in the destiny that was chosen for them.

     Do you remember in Acts Chapter Thirteen it said that there were many prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch? Yet as they worshiped and fasted my Spirit told them to separate Barnabas and Saul to the work for which they were called? I didn’t send everyone out. I didn’t make everyone stay. I have a plan and a destiny for each believer. Jesus is the head and each of you is a particular part and your part is needed desperately. However most of my children want to be the head or the eyes. Many are not willing to be the feet or the back or the hands.

     Even though these believers were prophets and teachers they didn’t know what to do until they were told. They worshiped and fasted and prayed and my Spirit spoke to them and told them what to do. 

     This is the way the promise works. Is this not what I gave Abraham? I gave him the plan. You shall live by every word that proceeds from my mouth. Most are trying to live by words written on a page to someone else. Yet my Son lived by my voice and spoke the words I gave him and only did what I showed him to do. This is the way it’s supposed to work.

     It’s the same with each of you. Instead of running all over the world trying to find your calling you should spend time in the secret place until I speak to you and you will be empowered to receive my promise and to live out your destiny.

     I have ordained good works for each of you to accomplish along your journey through life and you are empowered to accomplish the things I ordained for you. It’s when you try to get out of your calling that you find yourself in trouble and lacking what you need to accomplish the work.

     Think of it this way: Should each of you go fishing and try to catch a fish with money in its mouth to pay your bills? Should each of you go find a man with a donkey tied up and tell him the Master needs him? Should each of you walk around looking for a man with a pitcher of water? Should each of you get on a boat and go to the other side of the lake? Should each of you go out and buy a sword? Should each of you go to find a street called straight and find a man named Saul? 

     It is supposed to be simple and my Son only found one man in his day that understood. The centurion understood that Jesus was a man with authority and under authority. He knew that whatever Jesus said would be done. He told one to go and he went and another to come to him and he came. This is the simplicity of the kingdom. Just hear my voice and do what you are told.

     Holy Spirit will empower you to fulfill your calling; but you must hear my voice and follow the instructions I give you individually. The so called “faith message” has taught you that you don’t need my voice because you have a book. They don’t understand that the early church did great and they didn’t have the book. They had prayer and a voice to follow. On the day of Pentecost my Spirit came with a prayer language and with revelation. Without this revelation then even the scriptures are just a book. 

     My voice must be restored if the church is going to fulfill its destiny. My book is an introduction to me and my voice. It is a holy book but only because it came from me. Most people in the faith message put the book above me. They can’t hear me whisper in their hearts because they are too busy listening to Moses shout from the mountain.

     This is where the verses I gave you come into effect. You must believe that I am able to rebuild my church upon the foundation of revelation of my Son. 

     I know most of you feel like it’s too far gone and there is no way to wake up enough people to make a difference. Just like Abraham, Christ’s body seems dead and useless. But don’t stop. You keep sowing truth. There is a truth revival coming and my voice will be heard again. Once again my people will hear my voice and enter into my restful promise.

     I am able to do what I promised. I will complete my plan to fill the earth with my goodness. I will see my righteous ones shine like the sun. I will see the kingdoms of this world fall and be overtaken by my holy ones. I will see my Son’s name glorified in all the earth. I will see the government upon his shoulders and peace reigning in the earth. I have promised these things and they will come to pass.

     Now to each of you personally: Come back to my secret place and worship and get your instructions. You may have gotten off track but I will redirect you. You may have become discouraged but I will encourage you. You may be weary but I will give you rest.

     Come to me and get my precious promises that are just for you and you will have truth to build on. No more trying to steal someone else’s promise. Come and get your own. I have glorious promises waiting to speak to you to empower you to succeed.

     In the present, your dream may seem dead and it may seem like it will never be fruitful, but I am able. I am your God. I am your friend. I am your hope and salvation. Look into my eyes and your problems will become so small that you will laugh at them. I will fulfill every promise I make to you because I am able.


     This is the end of the words he spoke to me this morning.

I hope you are encouraged by these words,

Until next time,

Grow Rich in His Grace

I love you all,

michael

Warning! Change is Coming! Don't Be Afraid.

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

     As I was praying today Father spoke to me the following words:
He said:

     My son, it’s time for a great transition. Tell my loved ones not to fear. There are major changes coming from heaven. There is a revival of truth that has begun and it will shake up what so many people have counted on. This is already underway. Tell my people to put their trust in me. Speak to them these words:

     My children; don’t be dismayed. I told you through my Son that I would build my church. In the last few years so many people have tried to build things upon my foundation that are just hay and stubble. The heat of the truth has now set fire to those things and they are beginning to burn. Don’t be dismayed when many whom the world sees as so called “preachers of God” are removed from their pulpits and go into obscurity.

     I am cleaning up my church and getting a people prepared to reign. You are all kings and priests and the days of those who call themselves Apostles, Pastors, Teachers, and Prophets ruling over you will end soon. You are a king and a priest. Those who were supposed to help you and lead by example have taken advantage of you and have not fulfilled their call to serve. Instead of teaching you to reign they used their office to rule over you and not serve you.

     Please pray for these people. It is not my desire to harm them but to only take them out of error. Pray they will be restored with hearts of servants of the sheep. I still love them even though they are in error. I do not wish them harm in any way but I wish my sheep to have one Lord. You have one mediator and that is my Son. You are in him and you do not need a third party to visit me. You are my beloved and I sent teachers to help you see who you are and not to make you think they are special.

     So my beloved, don’t be afraid of the transition and changes to what you call church. Many doors will close and people need to know that I have not rejected people but have rejected the lies spoken in the pulpit. I will build my church upon my Son and the revelation that he is Lord and Christ.

     I will build upon truth and love and not upon fear. The days of the fear mongers are coming to an end. I loved each of you so much that I sent my Son to save you from sin. He didn’t come so you could die in sin but be saved from it. He told you time and again to fear not.

     Fear will not take you out of sin. Fear is not of faith and everything that is not of faith is sin. My revelation of your holiness in Christ will deliver you and that is the message that will be preached. 

     Sin will not be found in my church, not because of great fear, but because of great love. When my children finally see me for who I am they will fall in such great love with me that they will put away anything that hinders our fellowship. When my people discover they are already holy in Christ they will become in the flesh what they are in spirit; Holy, heavenly beings.

     I am not ashamed of my children and I don’t want you to be ashamed of yourselves. I want you to stand before me in confidence that your lives are filled with my holiness. Just as Adam was afraid and ashamed and he hid from me, so are my children ashamed and hiding parts of your lives from me. I want you to be free so that we can fellowship together in light and in truth. I don’t want the guilt in your mind to keep you from coming to me.

     My children, it’s time for the church, my beloved church to awaken to truth and put away all the lies. Stop supporting the lies. Why would you pay the hard earned money you make by your sweat to people who lie to you? It’s not about bigger houses and faster jets; it’s about walking in love and fellowship with me and each other. I want all of my children to prosper but not to be greedy. I will remove greed from my church.

     Think about the early church. They sold all they had to provide for those in need. Now preachers tell you to sell what little you have and give to their greed. How many ten thousand dollar suits and five hundred dollar pairs of shoes does a man need? Think about my apostle Peter. He said he didn’t have any silver or gold? Why not? He gave it to the poor. All the money that was cast at the apostle’s feet was given to feed the widows and orphans.

     Wake up my children! I want you blessed so that you can be a blessing. Not so you can be greedy. Seek my kingdom and my righteousness and all that you need will be added to you. My kingdom is above this world. In heaven we don’t worry about money and prestige. We are too busy rejoicing when a child comes to the truth and repents and is renewed. We concern ourselves with fellowship and joy and truth.

     My beloved ones, I tell you these things so that you won’t be afraid. When you see the cleansing come to the church don’t run in fear: Run to me. I will sustain you. 

     Remember I told you in scripture that there will be a day when all are taught by me? This is the plan. Those who teach you should be teaching you to hear from me but instead they keep you running back to them for teaching and you never grow. You go from one conference to the next for teaching when you should be going for the fellowship. I want each of my children to sit in my lap and let me teach you. You will only get to that point when you realize that I want to teach you myself because I love you.

     I want each of you to hear my voice and be taught by me. I want you to break bread together and rejoice as you share with each other the things that you have learned from me. No more belittling yourselves and believing that you need some great teacher to teach you. You have the greatest teacher inside you.

     Those of you who are married think about it this way. Would you rather have some stranger tell you that your spouse is in love with you or would you rather hear it from your loved one while they hold you in their arms? Those of you who are parents is it better for strangers who don’t love your children to teach your children or is it better if you teach them at home while sharing your love for them?

     Listen close my loved ones. It’s time to grow into who you really are. No more falling for lies and gimmicks. I sent my Spirit to dwell in and upon my Son Jesus. He was resurrected and sat at my right hand and we sent Holy Spirit to dwell in and upon you to lead you and guide you into all truth. You have all you need if you will listen to the teacher within you. 

     Do you want truth or do you want those who put the word tele in front of evangelist. They put what is important to them in front of their own calling. It’s about the show and not about making disciples. Wisdom is justified by her children. Think of all you have seen in the church in the last thirty years. Has it brought forth mature, holy people or just produced more babies in need of feeding?

     Many of you have been seeking the truth so I sent you on a search. I fueled within you this desire for truth. You looked for truth externally everywhere you could think of. You searched the scriptures, you searched all the channels on television and you searched the entire internet but you didn’t search your heart and find me here. I am in you.

     This is truth. This is the gospel. This is the New Covenant. Let these words fill your heart and mind: It’s in the letter to the Hebrews but we know that all who are in faith in my Son are in my house.

10. But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the LORD:

I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts.

I will be their God, and they will be my people.

And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the LORD.’
For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already.

And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”



     Know that I am in you and I am your teacher. Yes I teach through others but I prefer you to hear me for yourself. Learn of me and from me. Don’t be afraid when I tear down all these false idols of religion and replace them with the truth. 

     Remember my loved ones: pray for those who will be removed from their high places. Have mercy upon them and help them to be restored. Forgive them and remember that all of you have been in error at one time or another. Change is underway. Not as punishment but as restoration of truth.

     Don’t forget my beloved that when you see these things take comfort and comfort others. Truth must return before my full power can be restored.
Love each other as I have loved you.


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