I believe, we are being given a whole new understanding about dealing with mankind than what we were taught growing up. Growing up, we were taught to hate, judge or criticize people who did not think like us. Some churches are still teaching this. Many Christians continue to refuse fellowship to people of a different race, creed, or sexual orientation. That kind of attitude is not going to change anything! Things change only when you rebuild with a different understanding.

God is raising up a new breed of people, a brand new regime of soldiers who march and carry out his orders and stand strong with one another. He's raising up men who don't necessarily fit the mold of manhood as the world defines it, but they're man enough to stand for truth. Jesus did not condemn the prostitute, the homosexual, or the tax collector; he condemned the religious. He didn't go to the nearest mega-church and pick himself out a band of believers that could speak in tongues, were dressed well, and had money. He picked up the dirty fishermen, who were hanging out at the lake together and a band of misfits he met along the way to be his disciples.

There is an awakening, a shift, taking place; it is wooing and calling the true Body of Christ to draw near to Holy Spirit. This body is made up of blacks, whites, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, Gentiles, alcoholics, rich people, poor people convicts, ex-convicts, prostitutes, gay people. This body is built on the foundation of the Word of God and not the traditions of men. It's built on the foundation of LOVE. This body is not your body; it's the Body of Christ. Holy Spirit says there is much more change coming.
Dr. Thomas Michael • The Word of God
It is important to keep an open mind to the voice of the Holy Spirit, who will lead you into all truth. You must eat the Word if you want to become more like the Father or like Jesus. Yahshua always quoted from the Old Testament because there was no New Testament. There was no Holy Bible; it was simply the Word of God, the Torah. God would speak in the first person or through His representatives.
Dr. Thomas Michael • The Word of God
There are a lot of people who think that they are watchmen on the wall for the church, but they have zero discernment, because they have not yet eaten the Word. The Word is not the most important staple to them; they are filled with all kinds of trivial information from their personal libraries. "A word" is more important to them than God's Word. They go from prophecy to prophecy looking for words to fit their need, and they're usually quick to give a word. The only thing that will get us through times of insanity and personal tragedy is the Word of YAHVEH.

Have you ever seen signs posted in front of a building or a house or a structure that has suffered some sort of damage that read, "Danger, structure is unstable?" From the outside it appears that the edifice is secure, but the building could crumble at any time because the foundation has been compromised. There are things that happen in all of our lives that cause our foundations to be unstable. I agree completely that most people want to hold on to tradition rather than transformation. They want religious creeds instead of righteous cause. They want doctrine instead of deliverance.

A firm foundation requires more effort but it guarantees you'll make it through the storms without losing everything. Most Christians are busy trying to take care of the exterior of their houses and forgetting about their foundation. They are more concerned about how they appear in the eyes of their peers.
Dr. Thomas Michael • Deception
We are living in an age where people are being deceived, not only in the church but in the world. People who leave churches outside of God's will usually leave angry and bitter, deceived and bewitched by the voices they have hearkened. Bewitch means: to throw out of position, to displace; to amaze, to astonish, throw into wonderment; to be amazed, astounded; to be out of one's mind, besides one's self, insane. People that want to deceive you will use sorceries to throw you out of position, to displace you. They will try to amaze you with their lies. They will try to astonish you with how wonderful life is outside of what you believe or have been taught. And the last part of that definition; they will try to get you to lose your mind, to go insane!
Dr. Thomas Michael • Change
It's time to move on, and it's time to stop thinking the same old way. God wants you to stop harboring unforgiveness, bitterness, and resentment toward others and start thinking like Him. The Spirit of the LORD has instructed us time and again to quit judging others and start spreading the love of YAHVEH. It's time to move on. I can't move on to the next area of revelation, my elders, my musicians, my ushers are still walking in compromise, because they choose. The grace of God is here for us for when we fall as long as we don't take advantage of it and do what our lustful, carnal egos want to do.
Dr. Thomas Michael • One Hundred Fold Return
The seed-faith principle is not only a New Testament doctrine. The Father gave His children the power to use the seed-faith principle to give birth to anything needed and desired while on the earth. Galatians 3:29 says, "...if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." From this early promise made to Abram came the glorious church, the body of Christ. The promise has existed for thousands of years by way of the seed-faith principle.
