Dearest companions in what is true,

Day by day my peace grows like a flower garden, as the Father opens to me His purposes and understanding. There have been many souls in history who have spent time in prison for their just cause. Gandhi spent almost 6½ years in prison; Watchman Nee spent 20 years there and then died there. With Gandhi, his end came because a man was offended that he was kind to Muslims, and shot him. Strong prejudices still exist in India. Those things are deep in man’s nature, and we have seen them in those who have attacked me.

I want to share with you something that is substantially true, and I do not jest about this. The natural man is insane, even by his own judgments. When I came to prison at Los Lunas, I was continually asked a certain question by the psychiatrists. It was asked to determine if I was sane or not. The question was: “Do you see things that other people don’t see”? Well, I truly see things that some other people don’t see, but what the psychiatrist meant was: “Do you see things that are not there?” If I had answered “Yes,” then I would have been considered insane, or at least not running on all eight.

I visited a hospital for the insane once, where I saw a man who thought he was God. He was creating a world, and reaching for spider webs that were not there. He was in a hospital for people who see things that are not there. But then something very surprising happened, proving that some of those in mental hospitals are saner than some people outside of them. The nurse who escorted me went over to the man and told him, “Stop acting crazy!” Immediately he stopped and returned to normal behavior. The nurse told me that she sometimes would take a group of the insane to the park for a picnic, but to go, they would have to act normal. She said that the whole group that would go to the park could not be distinguished from anyone else. She said, “Insanity is a choice.” But my accusers don’t know that.

I believe that sin is a form of this insanity. It comes from seeing things that are not there. It comes from choosing to make things real that are not real. Mankind has always had, within its system of life, its criminals, prisons and revolutions. Men have always sinned. But these days it seems to me that men sin in the full light of day, and with unprecedented energy and boasting since Noah’s time. And unlike the man in the mental hospital, they cannot be made to stop being crazy. I’ve wondered if men are the way that they are because they have denied the possibility of there being a God. In other words, they cannot see what is there — they have gone insane.

Many millions of souls believe that they will not answer for their crimes. They actually act as though they think that they are God, like the man in the mental hospital. But even more dangerous to society, as proven with the ancients, are those who are full of sin, yet religious. Religious sinners are far more dangerous than are atheists. The combination of religion and sin is downright explosive. Religious sinners are self-righteous and hypocritical, and they hurt many innocent people because of it. God always then raises up someone with His Anointing to expose them.

God brought a young lady to me, as you know, who requested that she be naked while she poured out her teenage difficulties. She told me that God sent her and told her to get naked. I consented, and prayed while she poured out her story. I placed my hand on her sternum to help make her comfortable, and to bless and bring healing to her. For me it was a very understandable request, and as natural as the rain, for I understand how humans are healed. But I did not expect the backlash from those who were slaves of their lusts and fanaticism. I did not fully see how insane people would become because I consented to heal this way.

A contact such as was requested of me is not a sexual temptation, because I am not a slave to lust, as my accusers are. Many of these sick ones, who have attacked me, see things that are not there because of what is in their own minds. Some of them see things because they spend time on the X-rated pornography web sites on the internet. Pornography is probably the largest single interest on the internet. I have never been tempted to go to those web sites, as some of my accusers have. I’m not driven and controlled by any kind of lust of the flesh. If I were in a warehouse filled with naked women, for me it would be like being in a warehouse full of naked men, naked dogs, naked cats or monkeys. It would be like being in a warehouse of bell peppers, oranges or apples. Women are not sex objects to me, but rather female humans. I know that for most of the public, my statements would seem incredible, or laughable; but that speaks more of what they are like, rather than what I am like. It is incredible for them, since they are so insane.

A doctor contacted us, offended that I said I was more qualified than a medical doctor to touch a female like I did, especially for healing. Females have been a temptation for some doctors, and some ministers also, since they are slaves to their lusts. I’m not a slave to those things. I would never recommend that a doctor or minister do what I was anointed to do, because they are unqualified for it. I would not recommend my actions to the district attorney or the judge in my trial either. Their reactions against me cause me to think that these men were not pure or sane; they saw things that were not there. But this is why I have been imprisoned. I was incarcerated and hated by people who are driven by their own perversions, and they projected those imaginary visions onto me. They believe that I am like they are, but they pretend that they are not like that, by accusing me of their own mental illness.

Scientists can postulate that a star has a planet by how it wobbles. I can postulate, also, by the wobble of humans, if they have a lust orbiting them. My conviction over something that never happened, and for something for which there were no witnesses or evidence, clearly revealed a wobble that is insanity. Biblical justice required two witnesses to establish a crime. In my trial, two witnesses established that there was no crime, but I was convicted anyway. This reveals an insanity that is extraordinary. Because of man’s insanity and lustful perversion, some people have considered nakedness a sin. But nakedness is not evil; we were all born naked. But the minds of filthy people have made nakedness a crime, when it is not a crime.

When the young women came to me with their request, it was no more than if my little 6-month-old daughter had asked me — if I had one, and if she could talk. I was truly astonished that New Mexicans made such a thing out of something so natural. I wondered, “Are all New Mexicans sexual perverts, so much so that they cannot even look at a naked human being without going sexual or ballistic over the sight?” For me, naked skin is naked skin. The girls who came to me with their request didn’t seem to have a problem with their request or their naked skin. This also revealed how the girls, even at 16 years of age, were far more innocent and trusting than their counterparts in the world outside of our land.

I’m not inclined to point the finger, but when I see people pointing the finger at me or others, I like to take their little pointy finger and point it back upon the accuser. If I would not have been accused, I would not have accused. Jesus rarely spoke of sins of the flesh; His greatest offense was directed against hypocrisy and lying deceptions. Self-righteousness was anathema to him. But hypocrites dwell on the sins of the flesh that they imagine others to have. Sinfulness has a way of condemning itself. If I were a closet alcoholic, I would not be a good judge of alcoholics. If I were a rapist in my imagination, I would not be able to rightly judge someone accused of rape. My judgment would be from insanity, because I would be looking at my own offense to judge them with. Sinners are terrible judges, for they project themselves onto those they judge.

But I will state clearly the foundation that is in me: I never follow the flesh or any desires of the flesh. Neither do I study the law or man’s opinions to decide what is right to do. I simply follow my Father’s voice, and never deviate from it. If I eat or not eat, it is by the word of God to me. I never do anything on my own, but follow the Voice in everything. God establishes my way, and makes a right path before me. The issue for me is not survival, or prison, or freedom, but God’s word. “Fear God and keep His instructions, for this is the whole duty of man.” (Eccles. 12:13)

In an insane asylum, the insane are qualified by whether or not they live in reality. But the great majority of the population do not live in reality. Why are not my accusers placed in a hospital for the insane? It is probably because those who run the hospitals, and the courts, may see what my accusers see and consider it sane, even though it is not. In my trial, I stated that I did not engage in sexual touching of underaged females. The State’s witnesses also stated that they were not touched sexually. So, then I was convicted for sexual touching. Those who convicted me saw things that were not there.

But there is even more to this insanity. I touched two underage females in a healing experience that was not sexual, and involved touching no sexual parts of the females. I touched the sternum or heart area. I was found “not guilty” with one and “guilty” with the other. There was no explanation why one female was legal and the other female was not legal. Is this discrimination, or just insanity?

How can a society function, when the rules of the society are meaningless? The rule that took me to court was that it was a crime to touch sexual parts of underage females. I can accept that rule. But the court only accepted that law in regard to one female; it made up a whole new meaning for the same event with the other female. If scientists changed the laws that readily, there would be no scientific advances, because they would change the rules with every whim or prejudice. It would be analogous to the president of the United States asking the Secret Service to take him to the White House, but his definition of the “White House” would change with each trip. One day the “White House” would mean his residence, but the next day he would change it to mean the Supreme Court. The Secret Service would never know what the president meant. If President Obama pointed to the White House and called it the Library of Congress, don’t you suppose they would deliver him to another place to have his head checked out? One cannot point to a car one day and call it a “car,” then point to it the next day and call it an “airplane,” and not be suspect of having a mental lapse.

Why is it that those who named “no sexual touching” as “sexual touching,” are still on the streets? My trial and conviction were like this: It is as though a man took a walk down Main Street, and casually picked up a quarter on the sidewalk in front of the First National Bank. The DA then charged the man with bank robbery. In court the man denied robbing the bank, so the bank manager was put on the stand. His testimony was that his bank had not been robbed. Then the DA argues his case to the jury, saying that that quarter was only 20 feet from the entrance of the bank, and the jury was duty-bound to convict the man, if for no other reason than he secretly wanted to rob it. So the man is convicted and sentenced to 30 years for bank robbery.

At my sentencing the judge scowled, “You committed the act.” On the last day of the trial, he told the DA and my attorney that there was no evidence that I had committed the crime I was charged with. If there was no evidence, then how could I have committed the act? But the insane don’t need evidence, they simply need to see things that are not there, and then believe that what they see is true. The people imagine a vain thing. They imagine that they understand me, but they are only imagining a vain thing. It is written of them, “Because that, when they knew not God [the Anointing], they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their [own] imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” Romans 1:21-22.

In this age, and in this country, men regard women as sex objects, as evidenced by the media and entertainments. To me and other sane males, women are female humans. When I put my hand on the sternum of a young woman, and she being naked at her request, I still saw her as a female human who desired healing. She was not a sex object. But I would definitely warn these females to stay away from men who accuse me, for they are female undressers and molesters themselves, at least in their mind. They are not safe to be around, especially when no one is present. When I see a naked body, I see someone who does not have clothes on. Adam and Eve didn’t have clothes on. But after they became sinful, they needed to cover up; their minds became corrupted. But my mind is not corrupted, for it is the mind of Christ. Paul declared to us, “We have the mind of Christ.” 1 Cor. 2:16. I say as did Jesus, “Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the log in your own eye?” Matt. 7:3. I say, “Why do men look and squint at the imagined offense in me, while their own eyes are full of lust, adultery, greediness, covetousness, jealousy, hatred, and perversion?”

Dear little family, we have become very familiar over the years with how people think. They used to become angry when we only shared with them the changing power of Christ’s life. We called it “The Gift.” People became angry when they thought that they could actually change, and it was expected of them. Insanity is a far more comfortable place. We offered people sanity, and they hated us. We visited the insane asylum called “Earth,” and asked the people if they would like to be sane and think right. They would have stoned us just over that, if they could have. I don’t know what people get out of insanity, but I feel that it has something to do with not needing to take responsibility for themselves. If one becomes insane, nothing is required of him. Perhaps this is why people choose sin — they feel that nothing is required of them.

Dear companions, you have chosen life, as I have. Soon we will be gone from the world of the mentally ill; but they love playing like what they see is what is true.

Michael
