One Day!

     They were in slavery for hundreds of years, but one day I sent Moses to deliver them.

     They were trapped between the sea and a fearsome army but one day the sea opened and they crossed and never saw that army again.

     The wandered forty years in the wilderness but one day they crossed into the Promised Land.

     There was a giant that terrified and tormented the armies of Israel but one day David came by and took off the giant’s head.

     There was a famine in the land and a woman was prepared to eat her last meal and die but one day I sent a prophet to her and she never went hungry.

    There was a fiery furnace where those who opposed the king met their doom. But one day they threw in three and I sent in One and they all came out alive.

     Sin reigned and brought death to the world but one day my Son was born to a virgin.

     A man was born blind and lived in darkness his whole life. But one day my Son opened his eyes.

     There was a man who was lame and had no one to help him into the healing waters but one day my Son brought living water to him and healed him.

     There were multitudes in the wilderness listening to my Son speak words of love. They became hungry but one day my Son multiplied what they had and fed them all. Many were sick and one day he healed them all.

     Lazarus lay dead in the tomb for three days but one day my Son stopped by and brought him out alive.

     They took my beloved Son and crucified him and put him in a tomb. But one day he rose from the dead and ended death for all who believe.

     The disciples hid in an upper room and prayed with all their might in one mind and one accord and one day My Spirit came and the fearful became bold as lions.

     My beloved ones: I know you have had a string of bad days. Many have lost so much and have almost lost hope. But I tell you that your day has come. Every day is your “one day” because my Spirit never left. I am always with you. I will never leave you. I promise you that your darkness will be destroyed by light and your sickness will be overcome with health and your poverty will be overcome with my prosperity. All I need for you to do is to live with me in this day called today.

     Today if you will hear my voice. Don’t harden your heart and think that it wasn’t me and it was just a voice in your head. You can hear my voice and enter into rest and know that all that you need was already provided and all you have to do is trust and wait for it to appear. I have given you all things. Everything I own is already yours.

     I am about to teach you how true faith works. Faith does not believe I will: it believes I already have. Instead of saying “Father, will you give me money to pay my bills?” you will learn to say “Father, I thank you that you already provided anything I could ever need. Thank you for passing me the bill money that you already provided.” Thanks Dad!

     Jesus finished it all. There is nothing left to be added but thanksgiving. This is why I said to make your requests known with thanksgiving. You get by thanking not by asking.

     Do you remember the story of the prodigal son? What did the Father speak to the oldest son? Did he not tell him that all things were already his and he could have had a party or a calf anytime he wanted?

     You must learn to believe the true gospel. It’s not a bunch of rules and regulations that you have to learn and do. It is a relationship between a Father and his children. Jesus came to show you how the relationship works between me and my children. He was the oldest Son so he came and took away all the things that could keep the younger ones from understanding who their Father is. He demonstrated that I was and always will be faithful even until death.

     Religion could only teach about a mean and angry God who couldn’t wait to smite the earth for sin. Jesus came to reveal me as a loving Father who came to bless my children with love.    

    It was not my wrath that nailed him to the cross. It was yours. You needed a sacrifice, I didn’t. I never wanted any creature to die for sins and especially not my only Son. You required a scapegoat. I wanted your heart not your sacrifice. Do you not remember what I spoke through my prophet Jeremiah in what you call chapter seven? 

     *For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’ *

     I always wanted relationship and never wanted religion. Yet today you still have lists of things you must do and things you must believe in order to be in fellowship with me. You listen to those who are deaf to me and they blind you because they are blind. I still want relationship with you. I haven’t changed. Jesus is my voice. I spoke to you through him. He spoke of a Father who loves my children and wants you to hear my voice as he did.

     This is why I said “Today if you hear my voice.” I want you to hear me today and I want you to know that I AM your God. I AM your help. I AM your health and prosperity and any other thing that you could ever need. Stop looking for an answer and fellowship with the answer.

      You may be in that fiery furnace of life but you are not there alone. You may seem to be in a tomb, but there is no place in all of creation where my voice can’t be heard. Listen for my voice. Hear me! I AM your way, your truth and your life.

     Come to me not as one who keeps all the right rules and says all the right confessions but come to me as my dearly beloved child. Don’t come to me in guilt. I took your guilt and washed it away. Don’t come to me in unbelief. Believe in what my Son already accomplished for you and as you. 

     As long as you only know me as God and not as Daddy then you don’t really know me. I am meek and lowly just like my Son. I sit on an eternal throne of love not of everlasting judgment.

     I am for you and never against you. I know all your cares and troubles and I am asking you to bring them to me in faith, knowing that your answer is already yes and will never be no. If you ask amiss for something that is harmful for you I will give you something better for you than what you asked for. Just don’t forget you ask by thanking because you already own all things. All that I have is yours already.

     The problem has never been with my giving, it has always been with your receiving. I so loved the world I gave my beloved Son. I gave first. I gave all. The reason the faith message you were taught doesn’t work is because it’s based on a formula of rules and regulations and not based on a relationship.

     Those of you with children understand that you didn’t write a contract with your children and make them sign it. You didn’t give them a list of do’s and don’ts or they don’t get to eat or get to sleep in the house. They don’t only get to use your last name if they keep all the rules. They are yours because they were born to you. You don’t protect them only if they are good and keep all the rules. You guard them with your life because they belong to you.

     If they run away from your love and protection then  you search for them and bring them home because that is what love does. It is the same with me. I am seeking all who are lost and one by one I will bring them home. So fear not my children. I am the Almighty who is in love with you. I am all that you need. You don’t need rules and regulations. You don’t need to worry for your "One Day" is here. I am your One Day!



   This was 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,

RESTORATION

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

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

     As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to sit down and write down the words that he speaks and share them with you. I was delighted to do so as always and here are his words.


    My beloved ones: My children, my joy, my delightful ones. I love you with everlasting love and my joy overflows each time I hear your voice in prayer. I never grow tired of hearing your voice. Your prayers are to my ears what honey is to your mouth. Please don’t think that I would ever get annoyed with you or tired of hearing your voices.

     I want all with ears to hear what I have to say. We are entering the time of restoration of all things. This is a process of setting all things right on earth as they are in heaven. It is not time for you to shrink in fear or to run away from your destiny. 

     The enemy has spent several generations now speaking through false prophets and through immature prophets who are unable to discern my voice. He has convinced a whole generation of believers that the world is lost and there is no use trying to save it. It is time to put away these lies and be about the business of restoration.

     So what is the use I hear so many say? Well, think of it this way. I told you that the meek would inherit the earth. Are you meek? If you are then the earth is your home. If all the things that are going on in the world were happening in your house would you fight to save it or just give up on it? Did you forget that I so loved the world that I sent my beloved Son to save it? If it matters to me because of my love then shouldn’t it matter to you?

     I was speaking to all mankind when I told Adam to subdue the earth. I sent him out to put things in order. I gave him a garden as a base of operations. All he could ever need to live was provided in that garden. He could have used that base as headquarters to turn the whole earth into the garden that he lived in.

     The mission didn’t change. Once again there came another Son into a garden. He understood that what he did in that garden would make things right. He took away the curse of the thorns and thistles when he took the crown of thorns on his head. He took away the curse of earning bread by the sweat of your brow when he sweat great drops of blood. His blood spilled on the earth and removed all curses from the earth. Then he gave his disciples the same mission that was given in the beginning. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and put all things back into order. On earth as it is in heaven.

     The day has come for my sons and daughters to arise and take responsibility for the earth. All creation is waiting for your revealing. It is waiting for you to discover your liberation and then liberate all created things. 

     You are kings and priests. Kings rule over geographic locations and priests represent me to the people. You can’t have the authority of the king or the priest unless you are willing to use that authority for the purpose for which it was given. Many seek power but deny responsibility. It is time for this to change.

     There is coming a great change among my people. I am returning hope to my children. They are beginning to wake up and see that the world will not be fixed if they are not willing to fix it. Many are beginning to realize the truth that I told my Son to sit at my right hand until I make his enemies his footstool. Many understand that you are all the voice crying in the wilderness. You must make the pathways straight and then your king will return to you.

     Let me explain it in a way you can understand. So many people say, “don’t worry, Jesus will fix it all when he gets here.” Now imagine that you had a king or a president who was coming to visit you at your house. Would you say, “don’t worry, the president will clean my house when he gets here? No sense in me getting my hands dirty, I’ll just let him handle it when he comes.” Or would you clean your house from top to bottom and even dust the corners and clean the blinds?

     So my loved ones, how do you change the world? It is not as hard as you think. You have been given power from heaven. You have my Spirit and my Power living in you. You are lacking nothing. You have all things.

     So how do you do this? It begins with what my Son told you. Get the beam out of your eye and then help your neighbor get the speck out of his. Start by cleaning up your own house. Put away all darkness and evil. Your sins are totally forgiven by me, past present and future but the wages of sin is still death. If you play with a loaded gun and get shot it was not me that shot you but you still got shot.

     So put aside anything in your life that is not in my life. Put away the old habits and the worldly ways. These things don’t separate you from me but they defile your own conscience making you feel guilty and unworthy of your calling. Give no place to the devil. Just kick him out of your life one habit at a time if you have to. Put off that old dead man who was crucified at the cross and put on my son. Learn to see my Spirit as your robe of righteousness. Use the power of my Spirit to put an end to all unrighteous acts.

     You have a role model to imitate until you learn how to live in holiness. That is why I told you to be imitators of God as dear children. That is how you learn. Children learn by watching their parents and learning to do as they do. Keep your eyes on things above and learn to practice holiness. You are holy because I made you that way so walk in the true nature within you.

     As you get more and more of the old nature put away and the new nature established then it will seem natural to you to be rulers of the earth. This is what my prophet Isaiah saw when he spoke in what you call chapter Thirty Two when he said a King would reign in righteousness and princes would rule in justice and a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind and a shelter from the storm and rivers of living water in a dry place. Isaiah saw you. He saw you. No more hiding from who you are because you were seen long before you arrived. Stand up and be the ones you were created to be. No more hiding from your responsibility and denying the power that is in you.

     My beloved you are not waiting on me. I finished my works and am resting waiting on you to finish the ones you had ordained for you. This will be accomplished as you find out who you really are and what you are here to do. As you imitate me and my Son you will become just like us. You will finally be on the outside who you are on the inside.

     I have heard many of you ask me where are the mighty ones of God? Where are the prophets and evangelists and teachers and healers? I tell you where they are. They are on your couches looking around for someone else. You keep looking outward for what is already inward. You are looking for power from on high but the most high one lives inside you. You are not trying to get power from above but need to learn to release power from inside. You are not lacking power. You are lacking focus.

     All of the things that used to be impossible have been done by those who don’t believe in impossibilities. All the great inventions of your time were accomplished by those who wouldn’t take no for an answer. And where did these things come from? Did they fall out of heaven? No, they came from the heaven within. Revelation comes from within. I live in heaven and I live in you so heaven is inside you as you are inside heaven. One day this will be plain to you.

     So my loved ones: Get ready. Soon the earth will be full of my glory. You will put sickness, disease and poverty out of business. One day even death will not be allowed any more. 

     Think of it this way. It once seemed impossible to run a four minute mile but once someone did it then many followed behind. It used to be impossible to fly and then some men had a dream of an airplane in their hearts and soon everyone was flying. It used to be impossible for anyone to come back from the grave but one man accomplished it over two thousand years ago. 

     What are you waiting for? My son already kicked death right in the teeth and put death in its place. He is the first born among many brethren spiritually and physically. He came out of the grave with the same body he went in with. His mortality became immortal. His dead body was overcome by life. I know many can’t hear this now but remember it and one day you will believe.

     Please my beloved ones; wake up to who you are and start this revolution of restoration. Start in your own life. Give the dead things in your life over to the Spirit of life. Become fully awake until your life becomes heaven on earth and then help your neighbors. We are no longer two but one. The only difference between you and my Son Jesus is that he knew who he was and he gave himself over to me and surrendered his whole life to me. As he is so are you in this world. 

     Feed on the garden I planted within you and restore the earth. The tree of life is within you. You have a river of life flowing from within so get started restoring the earth. You will know when you are finished. When you can no longer tell a difference between heaven and earth you will be finished.

     I love you my dear children. Take my love and love each other with it. Encourage each other. Lift each other up and bear each other’s burdens. This is who you are. Don’t forget your assignment. On earth as it is in heaven.



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

Matthew Chapter Fourteen

13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve bucketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.


     As I was meditating on these verses today Father spoke to me and asked me to write down the following words and publish them. He said:

     My children, it is time to change your minds. Your minds have been programmed to think about a gospel that is not finished. You have been taught that if you do this then I will do that. That is not the gospel. That is works. The truth is that it is finished and you must learn to live as if it is. No more thinking that you need more or you are lacking this or that. You have all you need. It’s not what you need to add but what you need to remove.

     It’s time to remove the lies and live in the truth. Holy Spirit came. We live inside you now. You don’t have to pray for me to rend the heavens and come down. That was the sound that was heard on Pentecost. I tore a hole into eternity and came to live inside you. You don’t have to beg Holy Spirit to come. Holy Spirit never leaves you. Holy Spirit lives inside you. No more praying from lack and limits. Pray from the knowledge that all things are yours and all that you have to do is learn to appropriate what you already have.

     So many of my people give up because they have been told that they have a lack of faith. Just remember that I never asked Jesus to prove who he was. Your enemy did that. You are complete in me and as long as you think you are lacking you will live in lack. You must learn to see that you are unlimited and there will never be a day when any limits are put on you. You must learn to see what you have and stop looking at the lack you perceive to have. You are not lacking faith. You live by my faith and it is not lacking.

     Think of it this way. When it came time to feed a multitude of hungry people the disciples saw lack. They said a year’s wages wouldn’t give everyone even a bite. They wanted to send the people away hungry. But what did Jesus see? He didn’t say they were lacking. He asked, “What do you have?” Once you realize that you own the world, it is your inheritance then this will make perfect sense. Remember, I told Adam to be fruitful and multiply, not be super conservative and add. Multiply what? Everything. Whatever you need.

     So how do you do this? The same way Jesus did. He took what he had, gave thanks for it, blessed it and handed it out. He looked into heaven to give thanks. He understood that his supply was from heaven. Whatever you give thanks for and bless gets multiplied. 

     It works the same with lack. If you see lack and meditate on lack then it gets multiplied also. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. You must learn to never consider yourself lacking and learn to be at rest and know that you will never be without unless you choose to. This is why I said to make your requests known with thanksgiving. You are not looking to get, you are using thanksgiving to steer what you have to where it is needed.

     Do you remember that I led Israel out of Egypt and fed millions for years with manna from heaven? In a barren wilderness water flowed from a rock and food came from heaven but all they saw was lack. Did any of them starve to death or thirst to death? No they did not. Lack was only in their mind. They didn’t have what was in Egypt. They had better and were on the way to a promised land of plenty. They chose to see themselves as lacking.

     Here is the sneaky part. In the western world you assume that if you don’t have what your neighbor has then you are lacking. This is a lie. You have what you need. I calculated what you would need long before you were ever born. I have already given you all things that pertain to your life and your godliness. You are not lacking. When you dispel the lie you will be left with the truth. It’s time to throw away the lies.

     My church is addicted to the toys that the world plays with. My children pray to me to give them these toys but I told you if you ask for an egg I won’t give you a serpent. I will not give you things that will destroy you. Do I want you to have the best? Of course I do but not all that you are craving is good for you. I have a plan for your life and it’s a life of abundant grace given to you by my son and all you need has been provided for you.

     So what are other lies you have believed? What has the enemy sown into my people? There are so many but I will mention a few. Your enemy says, “it’s the last days and things have to get really bad and all the world has to go into tribulation.” 

     What is the truth? Here is the truth: My kingdom started out as the least of all plants in the garden and will grow until it fills the earth. It started out in tribulation and has grown through that tribulation and will continue to grow. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of my glory as the water covers the seas. This is truth.

     Do you think I shed my son’s blood on the earth just to give it to my enemy? It is time to stop the madness. My kingdom is growing and growing. It is unstoppable. It will fill the earth. 

     Do you remember that I promised that there would be a day when I said no one would teach his neighbor about me for all would know me from the least to the greatest? Where does this fit in your doomsday scenario? So many of my people have a little tiny God and a great big Antichrist. How does this glorify my son?

     The time of truth has come and the world is waking up. I am revealing the truth of my kingdom and the truth about my people. You are not lacking, you are not forsaken, you are treasured and adored. All that you will ever need became your inheritance when my Son died on that cross. 

     You have all the resources of heaven and earth but the lies you have believed are stopping you from living as kings and priests. How long will a poor king be in power? Would his enemies not overcome him if they were wealthier than him? You are not poor, you just haven’t learned how to appropriate your riches.

     What is true riches? Answer this question honestly. Think about the people who call themselves Christians. What if they had the choice to spend five minutes in my lap fully aware of me and heaven or to be given a million dollars to spend on anything they wanted on earth, which would they choose?

     The so called faith movement taught you that you had to earn it by giving and keeping the laws of the faith movement. Make sure you are giving, your tithe, your offering and your offering upon offering. Don’t forget if you ever confess the wrong saying then all the years of saying the right thing goes right out the window. How crazy this is?

     Imagine if you were a great athlete on a successful team and the coach told you that you are the greatest player ever, but if you ever miss a shot you are off the team? One missed shot and you are busted down to peewee league again. How silly would that be?

     Those who run the name it claim it false doctrine twist my scriptures and tell you to seek my kingdom and all these things will be added to you.They keep you seeking for what you already found.  Does the king live within you? If we do then you have found the kingdom and all other things have already been added. 

     With that teaching it is always about works and about future. It never gives my son the glory for his finished work. It takes the glory from what he did and gives it to you for what you can do. 

     Haven't you heard them say "well brother, I live by my giving." Yet my beloved apostle said, it's no longer I that live but Christ living in me and the life I live is not even by my own faith, it is by the faith of the Son of God who LOVED me and gave himself for me. With them it is always about what you must do and never about what Jesus already did. That message is not truth. Wake up my beloved.

     The truth is I want your heart. You love me because I first loved you. I loved the world so much that I gave my only Son. I gave you all things by my love. You can’t earn an inheritance, you were born with it. I gave you all I had. 

     You don’t have to give to get. You already posses so you will learn to give because giving is loving. Any gift given for any other reason is just a bribe anyway. This so called faith message taught my people to be greedy. It never was about love. It was always about possessions. It was how you can get a bigger house and bigger car and more money. It never was about how you could love more and help more and be more like my son. It is time to throw away all the selfishness and believe the truth. It is always about love and will always be about love.

     So my dear children, meditate on what is already yours. Don’t look at lack. It is not even real. What is real is that you are loved and favored and the earth was given to you and all I ask in return is that you learn to love each other as I have loved you. I ask you to learn to release the heaven within you until it fills the earth.

     Just remember, give thanks, bless and distribute. It really is that simple. No more fear of lack or fear of anything. You are in me and I am in you. What do you have to fear? The power of my kingdom is within you. You lack nothing. As my son is, so are you in this world. The only difference is that Jesus believed that he was my son while on earth. He wasn’t waiting until after the resurrection to live as my son. You are my child, right now, right here. No more waiting.

     Will you change your mind my beloved ones? Will you believe in who I made you to be. Don’t let anyone else tell you who you are. To as many as believed I gave the power to become the sons of God. 

     Listen to Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is your teacher who takes what belongs to us, to our nature and shares that with you. Don’t let the world define you. Be transformed by renewing your mind to what was accomplished at the resurrection of my son. Death was defeated. It was swallowed up by life. Life abounds. All you need to do is throw away the lies and live in the truth.

     I love you my dear children. I gave you all I have so use it to love each other and to provoke each other to loving acts of kindness. Freely you have received, freely give, not the other way around. You are kings and priests. Know who you are and live like it. Remember my beloved, give thanks, bless and distribute.



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

Eternity Now!

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

John Chapter Three

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him.

Galatians Chapter Two

20. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Colossians Chapter Three

1. If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3. for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Revelation Chapter Five

9. “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it.

For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

10. And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God.
And they will reign on the earth.”



     As I was praying today these scriptures started scrolling through my heart and my mind. I started meditating on them and Father spoke to me and asked me to write these words and share them with you. He said:

     My beloved ones, Eternity is now! It is not in the future, it is a never ending kingdom that exists in the eternal now. You were crucified with my son. You died when he died. His resurrection is your resurrection. You are as alive in the spirit as you will ever be. Yes one day your bodies will change but your spirits are already complete in my son.

     Why is this important? It is important for two reasons. The first reason is because of your lack of understanding of this many are still living in fear of death. So many believers are terrified of the thought of passing away that they run from it. 

     Many are locked in so much fear of the “what if” that they become ineffective in ministry to others. For example: What if I pray for that sick person and I become sick and die?” Or, “What if God sends me to this strange place and they kill me?”

     So many are paralyzed by fear and don’t do the work of sharing the good news because they are afraid of physical death or afraid of social death. “What will they think of me if I preach and they don’t accept it?” What if they pick on me because of my belief? It is time for these things to end. It is time for my children, my ambassadors to spread the good news with boldness and authority and without fear of failure or death or rejection.

     The second reason that this is so important is that so many put off the kingdom age until sometime in the future and don’t see the reality of the kingdom in the present. “Some day when I get to heaven I’m going to be powerful and going to be a great witness.” Well let me tell you a secret. There is no one in heaven to preach to. They all have seen and experienced the power of the kingdom.

     My beloved, you are living in the eternity now. It is not a far away time and place. You truly have passed from death to life. If you are in my son you will never taste death. You already swallowed it whole and it swallowed you and you are alive in my son. Physical death is no more than shutting the lights off in one room and walking into the great light in the next room. There is no reason to be afraid.

     As long as you see yourselves as physical beings and not eternal spirit beings then you will be limited to what a physical body can do. When you see the truth that you are a spirit being already completely alive then you will realize that the physical dimension has no hold on you. You will begin to rule and reign on the earth as Christ does from heaven. You will not see yourselves as weak and powerless but will know that you are full of life and full of the power of my Spirit and will begin to live in the power of the age to come.

     Do you remember that I told Jesus to sit at my right hand until I make his enemies his footstool? Do you remember that I told you that the last enemy to be defeated is death? Do you remember I told you in scripture that there would be a day when evil men seek for death and can’t find it? Why do you think this is?

     My church will soon be wide awake and will no longer believe the lies that bind your minds into the slavery of the world system. You will be like my beloved son who understood that my kingdom is above this world. You will no longer be slaves to the system but the system will become your slave.

     You are born in his image and likeness and will soon come to understand that you are creators just like him. You will not be at the mercy of the supply of this world. You will create the way he did and live the way he did. You will not be limited as he was not limited. When Jesus walked the earth if he had money he spent it. If he didn’t he just multiplied what he had and had plenty. If someone was sick he removed their disease if they were missing a limb he created them a new one. No limits.

     Please my beloved, wake up to who you are. You are only limited by your belief system. You have been programmed by the world for failure. It’s time to be renewed in the program of your mind and be programmed by the mind of my son. Nothing is impossible to the person who is in their right mind. One who is in the mind programmed in true faith is limitless.

     Please my beloved, wake up, know who you are and know that you are my beloved child and you passed from death to eternal life when you believed the testimony I gave of my Son. He is the way, the truth and the life so if you are in him you are already in life. Don’t see eternal life as something that begins when you leave your body. You are my eternally beloved already.

     From this day forward remind yourself minute by minute if you have to. Don’t let this message slip. You are into life and death is passed. Live and be free. Live and don’t be afraid. Let my perfect love for you drive away all fear. He who fears is not perfected in my love. 

     No longer see yourself as a body but know that you are a spirit being, born of my Spirit who was given a body for living in this realm and who will receive a heavenly body that is able to live forever. Hear me again my beloved. No more fear of death or fear of any event or person. You are safe in me. You are alive in me and I am alive in you. 

     Eternal beings are above the temporary world so no longer see yourselves as victims of this world. You are from above and the world lies below. Wake up and rule over the darkness with the light that is in you.

     There are three things that remain: Faith, Hope and Love and the greatest is love. Fear was not mentioned. It is not eternal; it is only temporary as is death. Rest in my peace and know that you are loved. Bask in my love, live in my love, pray in my love, and believe in my love. Eternity is now. I gave you eternal life. You are already living it. You are welcome!


     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

First John Chapter Five
New Living Translation

     Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.

     We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments... Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.

     For every child of God defeats this evil world and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

     And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross, not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony. So we have these three witnesses the Spirit, the water, and the blood and all three agree.

     Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son. All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t believe what God has testified about his Son.

     And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.

     I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God; so that you may know you have eternal life. And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.

     If you see a Christian brother or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death.

     We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one.

     And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.

     Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.



     As I was reading this chapter today I noticed that there are three steps to the life of faith. First is to believe in Jesus. To really believe that he is the Son of God and to believe he really accomplished all that was needed to perfect us.

     The second is to believe in who we are. We must know and believe that we already are living in eternal life. Sure our bodies may return to dust but our spirits and souls are already living an eternal existence. It can’t be some future event. It must be settled in our hearts that we are already living in the eternal realm.

     Third, is fellowship. The reason for all that Jesus did was to restore fellowship with God. We must trust that Jesus took away all our sins and made us pure so we can fellowship with him with a pure conscience. We know that we are clean and pure because of his blood and if we do make a mistake and continue in the light his blood keeps us pure and clean. This leads to unbroken fellowship.

     As I was writing these words I was pleasantly interrupted by the voice of my Savior. He asked me to continue writing and share his words with you. Here are his words.

     My dearest children: You were gone astray. I missed you. I loved you before you went astray. I loved you while you were astray and I love you now that you are home.

     The reason for all I did was to restore you to our family. Those of you with children that are going the wrong way understand that it hurts deeply to see your children going the wrong way because that way does not lead home.

     This is why Father sent me. Unlike the brother of the prodigal son who stayed home I wasn’t willing to stay home. My family had left the safety of our home and gotten lost in the wilderness called the world. I came and sought you out one by one and brought you back so that my Father’s heart could once again be full of joy.

     It was our great love for you that caused this. While you were wandering around the earth thinking you were nothing but pig feeders we were in love with you and seeking you and calling for you. You are the treasure of heaven and you are loved and adored at all times.

     Your guilty conscience wouldn’t allow you to fellowship with us because you saw yourselves as worthless, dirty sinners when all the time you were truly children of heaven. We would call and you wouldn’t come home because you saw yourselves as runaway slaves and not as dear children.

     So I came and took away all your sin and evil and washed you until you were pure and made fellowship available to you. The only thing lacking is your belief in my message that proves this. 

     You may have been satisfied to come home and be a slave but this was not Father’s plan at all. It didn’t matter where you had been or what you had done. All that matters was for you to come home and get your righteous robe and your ring with the family symbol on it.

     My beloved, will you please believe the true gospel? Will you know that if you believe in me you are living in eternity already? Those who believe in me never die. The moment you check out of your body you check into heaven. Didn’t my beloved Paul tell you this? He longed to come home and be with me but remained awhile on earth to continue teaching to establish my church.

     You must learn to see that eternal fellowship with me has already begun. Faith is the realm called “now” and hope is a future word. You must believe that you have passed from death to life and go ahead and start living in heaven right now. Do you remember that I told you to pray “on earth as in heaven?” What happens in heaven? Fellowship happens. All of Father’s children sing and dance about the throne and they go door to door, mansion to mansion speaking to each other about how glorious Father is.

     Is it so hard to believe that you dwell in this world already? You are seated with me in heavenly places. Your spirit lives in this world because all of heaven and earth lives inside us. There is no separation. Heaven is not far away. The Kingdom is within you and you are within the kingdom. It is time to believe the truth.

     My loved ones it is time for the church to awake. The early church saw me and would fellowship with me. The apostles could sing while in chains because they knew I was there with them. How can you be in prison when the one who has the keys to all things is in there with you? There are no locks that can lock you in. I even have the keys to death, hell and the grave. No one is so locked up that they can’t be set free. The things that imprison you are just lies.

     My precious ones: believe in me and believe my gospel. I took away your guilt and sin and made you holy. I hear your every thought and whisper. I am trying to have fellowship with you and you keep putting it off until the sweet by and by. How about the sweet now and now? You can do this. You can enter into this blessed faith that makes you able to know as you are known and see as you are seen.

     These are the three steps: Believe in me. Believe you are who I made you to be. Fellowship with me on earth as you would in heaven.

     I love you dear children. You are the delight of heaven. Wake up and let’s fellowship together. Let’s have a heavenly time right here on earth. I didn’t give my life for you to have you run from me. I gave my life so you could have fellowship with me and my Father. I sent Holy Spirit to live inside you and teach you these things. Holy Spirit will show you all these things if you will listen and not be afraid. 

     Don't forget, believe in me, believe in you in me and fellowship with us.

     My loved ones, meditate on how much you are loved, and then love each other with the love that you are loved with.



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

Glorious Days Ahead!

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

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

     While praying this morning Father spoke to me the following words and told me to share them with you.

He said:

     My little children: Are you ready? Are you ready to see my glory fill the earth? Will you put aside your preconceived beliefs about the day you are in? Will you be willing just to listen to your spirit and listen to my Spirit communing with you?

     How may I say it any stronger? The earth is mine and the fullness thereof. It is not owned by some family or some group of people who have bound themselves by an oath to control it. They may have temporarily grabbed the wealth of the world but they will not hold it long. Wealth is gathered to be returned to the ones who are justified. Don’t be afraid of them. They will soon cease to exist and their power over the nations will be broken. In one short season all their plans and controlling ways be brought to nothing. They planned to control wealth and people and slavery and stole the wealth and the children of nations. They controlled armies and weapons but didn’t plan on being destroyed by truth.

     This world is mine and I gave it to my children. It is the inheritance of the meek. It does not belong to some future leader you call Antichrist. It belongs to the real Christ, the one and only. It was made by him and for him and exists because of him. 

     It is time to put away all the lies and fear that you have learned and learn the truth. I didn’t spill the blood of my son as payment to sin to redeem my children only to throw it all away and forget that it ever happened. The blood of my son cries out from the ground where it was spilled. It is not like Abel’s blood crying out for vengeance. It is crying out for holiness and restoration. It is crying what he cried. “Father forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing.”

     My children, this world is not coming to an end. It is coming to perfection. The earth is groaning and travailing waiting to give birth. The storms and fires and earthquakes are not my judgment upon people. They are the cries of a pregnant world who is long past due waiting to be delivered. It is waiting for my church to stop looking for a cave to hide in and to stop looking to run away from its responsibility of tending the world. The garden cries for its gardener.

     I told Adam to subdue all the darkness in the world and turn the whole earth into a garden. The first Adam failed. The last Adam did not. He shed tears and blood in the garden to put things in order. He took upon his own head the thorns that the earth was cursed with. He removed all curses from the earth and from the people. He then told his disciples the same thing we told the first Adam. He told them to go into the entire world and heal the sick, raise the dead and cast the devil out of the garden. The church was given the order to put things right again. The church was commissioned to subdue the darkness of the world and turn the earth into heaven.

     Liars have crept in and told you terrible stories of how bad things are and told you that your only hope is in escaping. Your enemy wants you to abandon the earth and leave it in his hands. He would love nothing more than to destroy my creation. This is not my plan. Did Jesus pray that my will would be done and it would be on earth as in heaven only until some scary guy named Antichrist comes? Do you think we are weak and unable to rule?

     Wake up my children and stop running from your calling and your responsibility. This earth will one day soon look so much like heaven that you won’t be able to tell them apart. My glory will fill the earth. The righteous ones will shine like the sun and evil doers will hide in rocks and caves because I will make my face shine upon you and they won’t be able to stand in my glory flowing through you. 

     Will you be the generation I am waiting for that will begin this process or will you hide like the last few who didn’t see me as a God who can deliver and overcome, but only saw me as one who is at the mercy of the world system. How foolish is this?

     I told my beloved Son to sit and rest at my right hand UNTIL I put all his enemies under his feet. Until all his enemies bow and worship him. He is not coming until this is done. There is no escape and run for the hills gospel. There is the gospel of the kingdom which is the good news that your King sits on his throne and you are his kings and priests taking possession of the earth one life at a time.

     Will you please wake up all who are asleep and tell them that my Son sits on the throne? No world government sits on the throne. No person called Antichrist sits on the throne. No one who is controlling the world’s money is sitting on the throne. My Son is on my throne and you are in him. He is in you. So why be afraid of the world?

     You will overcome by his blood and your testimony and by not loving your lives even until death. Here is the problem in my church. Many are still terrified of death and have not realized they already died. Those who are in my Son will never taste death again. You were crucified with him. You were buried with him in baptism and you are risen in spirit. 

     Only those who are scared want to escape. Those who have believed my true gospel want to see the earth look like heaven and are willing to lay down their lives to see that happen. They are willing to spread the good news of my love until all believe and there are no enemies left.

     So my loved ones, do you believe that I loved the world so much I sent my son to save it? Or do you believe that I am so angry with the world that I can’t wait to destroy it? Think hard for a moment. Do you really think that I would pour out my son’s blood and then walk away? Do you believe that I am in love with every man, woman and child on earth no matter how evil you think they are? 

     Have you forgotten that your fight is not with people but with evil powers in the unseen world? You are not wrestling with people but with wicked spirits who have deceived the people into their belief systems.

     Dear beloved children, I have given the earth to you. It belongs to you as your inheritance and you are my inheritance. It is your garden now. Will you continue to let the weeds grow or will you start planting truth until earth is like heaven? Will you root out the weeds in your own belief system and then help others? Will you look at people through the truth of the cross of my son? If my Son could look at those who were nailing him to the cross and those who were spitting on him and insulting him and have mercy on them then can’t you put up with a little trouble also?

     Consider what I said through my beloved David in what you call Psalm 37:

Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.

For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.

Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.

He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act.

Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper, it only leads to harm.

For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land.

Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.

The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity.


     My loved ones: speak the truth in love until all who are deceived by the wicked one turn from their darkness and walk in light. Most people aren’t wicked they are only deceived. If they knew the truth they would walk in him.

     This world is not coming to an end. It is coming to a glorious new beginning. The systems that control the earth now are passing away and will soon vanish. 

     When earth's purpose is fulfilled it will be overcome with the fire of my glory and be changed into that very glory. All the heavens and earth will be transformed and recreated in holiness. Never again will sin be committed and all will live in holiness. 

     Until that day it is your assignment to do your part to build my garden. Bear the fruit of my Spirit and fill the earth with my fragrance. Do not be afraid. Do not be angry at the wicked ones or be in fear of them. Have a father’s heart towards those who went astray. 

     Don’t be dismayed when you see things happen that you don’t understand. Don't rush to judgment or quickly call them my doing. Your assignment is to walk in love, to spread my good news and to fill earth with the heaven that is in you.

     My Son’s prayer that he told you to pray will be answered. It will be on earth as it is in heaven. The earth will be filled with my glory because it will be filled with my glorious ones. 

     Arise and shine my beloved. No more fear. No more doubt. The earth is given into your hands. Will you take it or seek to escape it? There are Glorious Days Ahead! My beloved, make yourself ready for a wedding, don’t dress for a funeral.




     These are the words He spoke to me this morning,
I hope you are encouraged by these words,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,

I Love This Mystery Called You

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

michaelottministries.podomatic.com

     Thanks to all of you who read and respond with kind comments and most of all with prayers. It is a great joy to share this journey with each of you as we discover who our Father truly is and who we are. The more I know him the more I find him to be the kindest person I ever knew.

     Today’s blog is about that kindness. On Friday September 7th I was having an awful day. Things were about as bad as they could be. It was a hard struggle but some of you sent encouraging words and I could feel the prayers of many of you on my behalf and I am so grateful.

     As things that day went from bad to worse I finally decided that I was not going to be a victim of circumstances any longer. I took out my guitar and began singing with all my heart to my Lord. I used worship as a weapon to drive away all the negative things that had surrounded me. As I began feeling better I knelt to pray and at this moment something very amazing happened.

     Suddenly things disappeared and I was in the spirit realm. I was standing before the throne and in awe of God Almighty’s glory. The light was too bright for my eyes to see his throne but I could see Jesus sitting by his side. 

     As I bowed to worship I was told to come nearer. I slowly walked up towards Jesus and my anguish left. I was overcome with joy inexpressible. As I gazed upon him I felt his loving eyes pierce right through me with love that I can’t even describe. I waited a moment and soaked in his glory.

     As I became more comfortable with my surroundings I looked and Jesus had a book in his hands. He asked me what I needed and I said “Lord I would like to know what you are reading? He held up the book and it was entitled “The Book of Michael Ott.” I was amazed and he began to tell me about this book.

     He said, “All my children have their own book and this is yours. I wrote it long before you were a conscious being. Long before you had form or substance or imagination I loved you in my heart and you existed in my love. You have never been alone even for one moment in your life. You have been safe in my hands and in my heart and you have always been adored. On your worst days and best days my burning love for you never wanes. You are my delightful child and what you are going through doesn’t change my love for you or my plans for you."

     I was curious so I asked if everything was written in the book. Is my life completely written in stone or are there things that are my choice? He said, “There are some events like your birth and your family and many blessings that were written to appear in your life. There are also some blank pages for you to fill in. It’s an open book and you have the power to write what you wish on the book of your life. I love the pages that we write together; the ones where you fellowship with me and consult with me and we work together; me working with and through you to write in the empty pages. This is my favorite part."

     I was again curious so I asked: “what about my mistakes and failures? Are they written there too?” He said, “They have all been deleted and are never mentioned.” “If you do the wrong thing or go against the plan of victory written in your book then we take steps to bring you back onto the right page and to the right line. You could never go so far away that I wouldn’t bring you back. You can’t run from me for I live in you.”

     Suddenly I began weeping with joy. The tears of sadness that I cried just moments earlier were dried and forgotten for the moment and I was lost in glorious joy. He knew what I would ask next so he reached out his hand and said “would you like to see yourself in my book I wrote about you?”

     I took the book and began at the beginning and I began to see all the ways that I had gotten off script and how he used events and people and even angels to bring me back onto the page where I belong and back into the safety of his book. Suddenly I realized that I didn’t have much time to stay there so I quickly turned to the last page of the book. I wanted to see my ending. I wanted to know where my life ends and when. I thought it would be good to know so I could be ready when the time comes.

     Much to my surprise as I got to the last page and looked down at the last line I closed my eyes. Do I really want to see this? I thought about it a moment and decided that I did so I opened my eyes and saw these words highlighted with glory and it read: “Not the end. Only the beginning!

     I laughed with delight because it occurred to me that we put so much focus on the here and now and we never even considered that the entirety of our lives on earth may just be the forward of the book of our lives.

     As I stood there giggling like a little schoolgirl Jesus spoke to me. He told me to look at the book again more closely. So I looked at the cover and once again I saw in bold letters: The Book of Michael Ott. But what I failed to notice was at the bottom of the cover it said “Chapter One.”

     I stood there amazed and full of wonder and worship. How much does he love us that he took the time to write a book of each of our lives? He made them to be living books so even though the plan of victory for our lives is concrete and his calling is sure, there are living pages that can be rearranged to bring things back into order and get us back on track for his plan. Oh how great is his wisdom and love. Bless his holy name forever and ever and ever!

     I knew it was time for me to go so He asked me to bring back this message to each of you and here is what he says:

     “My beloved children: You are not wandering in a wilderness. You are living a book called your life. Yes there are struggles, but which of you would read a book if it began with “It’s a wonderful day and every page was the same? A book where there is no trouble or suspense or danger, just sunshine every day? It would be a boring book wouldn’t it? And in a book like that how would the characters learn truth and love and learn to overcome to the point where they could be trusted with the power of the age to come?”

     “All this will make perfect sense when you reach chapter two. Even I had to come and partake of the struggles and trials and even death. There was only one way to defeat death and that was to go through it and come out the other side alive. “

     “Please my children don’t fret or worry. If you feel out of place just stand still and come to me and ask me what page of your book you are supposed to be on and how to get back to living the script of life. 

     You were never an accident born without a plan for bringing you to glory. If I put the sun and stars in order and even set the bounds for the sea and wrote my life in the stars do you not realize that you are part of this glorious plan? You are the plan. You are my precious loved ones. I created you to share my eternity with. The only reason I needed an eternity is so that I could fully reveal myself to you over time so that you could know how much you are loved.

     My beloved ones: No more fear and worry no sadness and weeping. This is why I told my apostles not to rejoice in the power they had over the enemy but to rejoice that their names are written in heaven. Your name is written there too. It is written in my book and yours. It is written in my heart. 

     You are the plan and you are my book. I love reading about you in my book. Keep writing love letters to me on the blank pages. I love it when you do that. It is like a diary we share and we both have a key and no one else ever sees what we write. "

     “My dearest children: Know you are loved. Come see me and read about yourself in my book. Come boldly in worship, knowing that you are always welcome. I entered into heaven with my blood and left the gates open for you to follow me right in. This is your home. All that I have is yours. You are welcome here. Come and ready my book.”

     As all of you know that each time I have an encounter like this I write a song to commemorate it. It keeps it real to me. When the enemy comes by and tells me it was just an imagination I can sing the song and he leaves like ten minutes ago.

     So I wrote this song called I Love This Mystery Called You. I hope you enjoy it. Just click on the link below that says “song and it will take you to the song.

Once again,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
Michael
