A major theme throughout the show is moving beyond helplessness and becoming a source of support. Kerry describes a realization that rather than becoming overwhelmed by grief for loved ones, she can focus on supporting caregivers through prayer, Reiki, compassion, and presence. Michael Ryce affirms that true healing begins when attention shifts from focusing on others to looking honestly within oneself. The conversation highlights the value of worksheets, breathwork, and forgiveness as tools for moving through grief rather than remaining stuck in it.

Prayer becomes an important topic as Kerry shares insights from her prayer journal and from Aramaic-based understandings of prayer. Rather than begging an external deity for intervention, prayer is described as aligning with the presence of Love and opening oneself to receive healing already available. Participants discuss the importance of releasing secrecy, shame, and isolation, recognizing that healing occurs when hidden pain is brought into awareness and dissolved.

Michael Ryce expands on one of the central themes of his developing book, It’s All Greek To Me. He addresses the mistranslation of the Aramaic word for Breath into Greek and Latin concepts associated with spirit and ghost. He explains that the phrase commonly translated as “the unforgivable sin” actually refers to denying the Breath. When breath is denied through chronic holding, resistance prevents access to the deeper levels of healing available through Rukha d’Qudsha. The discussion emphasizes that forgiveness is not pardoning another person, but allowing Breath to reach into stored generational patterns and remove what does not belong.

The conversation explores the importance of daily breath practice. Kerry recognizes that she has not been maintaining her breathwork consistently and sees how this may have contributed to feeling disconnected from the elevated state she experienced following her trip to India. Michael explains that regular conscious breathing helps overcome physiological resistance and activates what he calls the transformative factor of the Breath. He describes how sustained practice weakens the internal resistor and makes it easier to access deeper healing states.

Mitzi asks about the relationship between rage, sorrow, and emotional healing. Michael explains that hostility is not an emotion but an anesthetic used to avoid deeper pain. While many approaches encourage expressing rage, he suggests that true healing occurs when a person breathes beneath the hostility and accesses the underlying wound. Rather than repeatedly emptying a cup of anger, forgiveness shatters the cup itself so the hostility no longer accumulates. The discussion examines how Power Person dynamics teach people to use anger, blame, and control as survival mechanisms that later become barriers to healing.

The group reflects on the role of breath in uncovering unconscious patterns. Michael shares experiences from decades of StillPoint work and describes moments when the breath spontaneously stopped, revealing profound physiological shifts and releases. He explains that these states are not unconsciousness but openings into deeper levels of transformation where resistance dissolves and stored energies reorganize.

The conversation concludes with a discussion of family dynamics, responsibility communication, and healing long-standing patterns of anger. Participants explore how unconscious rage often manifests physically, including chronic back pain. Michael recommends the work of Dr. John Sarno, whose research connected many forms of chronic pain with repressed emotional energy. The overall message reinforces that healing occurs through conscious breath, forgiveness, responsibility, willingness, and the courage to look within rather than project pain outward.

Michael shares the history of developing the Codependence to Interdependence work and explains how the Power Person dynamic influences families, churches, governments, businesses, and communities. He emphasizes that what people call physical disease is actually the expression of energetic patterns held within the human system. Each time the Power Person dynamic is replayed unconsciously, the underlying trauma is reinforced and driven deeper into tissue. When awareness, willingness, and support are present, however, those same patterns can surface for healing and forgiveness.

The discussion explores the three levels of behavior driven by the Power Person dynamic. Under little stress, people tend to do what they did to get along with their Power Person. Under increased stress, they do what they did to resist and survive. Under extreme stress, they often do exactly what their Power Person did to them that they hated most. Michael explains that this progression is driven by an automatic decision system rooted in carbon-based memory and reinforced through generations of unresolved trauma.

A major theme throughout the show is hostility as an internally generated drug. Michael describes hostility not as an emotion but as an addictive anesthetic used to avoid deeper pain. When painful unconscious material begins to surface, hostility temporarily numbs awareness and redirects attention outward through blame. He suggests that many people spend their lives trapped in what he calls the one-world religion of blame, believing that outside events cause their internal experiences. Forgiveness, in the Aramaic sense, becomes the process of removing those internally held patterns rather than pardoning another person.

The conversation repeatedly returns to the importance of conscious breath. Michael explains that breath, willingness, responsibility, alignment, vitality, and love are the factors that overcome the physiological resistance referred to in Aramaic as Satan, the resistor. Through conscious breathing, individuals gain access to unconscious material that can then be processed and released. Healing crises are described as signs that deeper layers of stored energy are surfacing for resolution rather than indications that something is wrong.

Terry shares personal insights about recognizing how he had become his own Power Person, carrying shame, guilt, and self-punishment throughout much of his life. He describes recent breakthroughs that have brought significant physical changes, including noticeable reduction in abdominal tension and stress. Michael reflects on how facing Power Person dynamics often results in profound physiological shifts as stored trauma leaves the system.

Lucia joins the discussion around anger, sadness, and emotional layers. Michael clarifies that while emotions provide feedback about thought disorders, hostility occupies a different category because it functions as a drug-like anesthetic. The group explores how vitality allows progressively deeper layers of unconscious material to surface, making healing possible. Rather than suppressing or acting out anger, participants discuss using breath and awareness

A powerful discussion unfolded with Rex, who shared insights arising from a recent arm fracture and the limitations it imposed on his daily life. What initially appeared to be frustration about physical pain revealed deeper layers of fear, abandonment, grief, and inherited family patterns. Michael guided him to move beyond labeling sensations as pain and instead experience them directly through breath and awareness. Through the conversation, connections emerged between present physical discomfort and longstanding emotional realities rooted in childhood experiences and Power Person dynamics. The group explored how people often use physical symptoms, consciously or unconsciously, to gain attention, avoid deeper feelings, or manage fears of abandonment and rejection. Michael emphasized that the true healing path is not avoidance but fully breathing into and experiencing what arises so that old realities can dissolve.

The conversation expanded into generational healing, with Michael sharing the perspective that many emotional patterns have traveled through family lines for generations. He described the privilege and responsibility of becoming conscious enough to process pain that previous generations could not face. Drawing on the story of Y’Shua in the Garden of Gethsemane, he reframed the idea of “taking on the sins of the world” as the willingness to become a space through which unresolved human pain can be transformed. Participants reflected on family histories marked by rage, abandonment, control, and emotional suppression, recognizing how these patterns continue until someone becomes willing to face them directly.

The discussion repeatedly returned to the importance of responsibility, the abandonment of blame, and the recognition that every projection reveals unresolved content within oneself. Michael highlighted how easily the mind slips into denial by believing that fear, anger, or pain is caused by another person. Instead, participants were encouraged to use each emotional reaction as a doorway into deeper self-awareness and healing. Several members shared experiences of interrupting old blame patterns and discovering greater clarity, honesty, and freedom as a result.

Terry contributed insights from revisiting the Twelve Step process, particularly the importance of examining avoidance, character patterns, and unfinished emotional business. He described humility not as self-deprecation but as the capacity to see oneself accurately while remaining open to growth and transformation. The discussion connected these ideas to the Aramaic understanding of humility as the willingness to acknowledge and cooperate with the highest and best in oneself and others.

The group also explored the Beatitudes and the impact of understanding them through their Aramaic roots rather than traditional religious interpretations. Michael emphasized once again that one of the greatest translation losses in Western culture has been the replacement of Breath-centered teachings with concepts of “spirit” disconnected from direct human experience, along with the loss of the emphasis on just and fair behavior as a central expression of human life.

A deeply moving moment occurred when Michael asked the community to hold Patrick McGann in prayer and support following the passing of his wife after a long and difficult health journey. Participants extended their hearts and breath in support, reflecting the spirit of compassion and connection that permeated the conversation.

Bridget shared valuable insights about self-support, gentleness, and healing through connection with nature. She spoke about the importance of lying directly on the earth, allowing the body and mind to release accumulated emotional energy while receiving support from the natural world. Her comments reinforced a recurring theme of the show: healing is not accomplished through self-criticism or force, but through kindness, breath, awareness, and willingness.

Throughout the program, participants repeatedly returned to the realization that many of the challenges they face today are rooted in old Power Person dynamics, inherited emotional patterns, and unconscious beliefs. The healing process was described not as fixing something broken, but as removing what never belonged and allowing the original state of Love, innocence, and connection to emerge. The show closed with a collective focus on breath, support, gratitude, and the ongoing work of restoring human life through forgiveness, responsibility, and conscious awareness.

The discussion centers on the Power Person worksheet and the importance of becoming “the thinker apart from the thoughts, the feeler apart from the feelings, and the actor apart from the actions.” Michael explains that when individuals are trapped inside perceptions generated by past experiences, they automatically replay old patterns. Healing begins when a person learns to observe those patterns rather than identify with them. The group explores how family conditioning, childhood experiences, and generational influences continue to shape reactions until they are brought into awareness and forgiven.

Sally shares experiences working with Vietnam veterans and reflects on the depth of trauma carried by those returning from war. This leads to a broader conversation about the devastating effects of violence, grief, guilt, and emotional pain across generations. Michael recounts experiences working with veterans whose lives were deeply impacted by wartime events, emphasizing that unhealed trauma often continues to affect families and future generations long after the original events have ended.

Bridget shares moving stories about her stepfather, a Vietnam veteran whose healing was supported through acceptance, love, and belonging. She describes how meaningful relationships and compassionate support helped restore parts of his life damaged by war. Participants reflect on how genuine human connection can become a powerful force for healing when people feel seen, valued, and welcomed rather than judged or rejected.

The conversation expands into cycles of abuse, revenge, and generational suffering. Bridget speaks openly about witnessing trauma and dysfunction throughout her life and the challenge of releasing desires for punishment and retaliation. Michael repeatedly returns the discussion to Rakhma and the necessity of maintaining the presence of Love even while addressing injustice. Accountability is important, but true healing requires remaining connected to Human Life rather than collapsing into hostility or vengeance.

Throughout the program, Michael emphasizes that Breath is the transforming factor that allows healing to occur. When people hold their breath during emotional activation, they disconnect from the intelligence capable of reorganizing and healing their experience. Conscious Breath restores access to deeper awareness and allows stored pain to surface and dissolve rather than continuing to drive perception and behavior.

The show concludes with reflections on restoring Human Life as Love, cherishing one another, and becoming conscious enough to interrupt generational patterns of fear, trauma, blame, and separation. Participants are encouraged to use the Power Person worksheet, maintain conscious Breath, and recognize that healing occurs when perception is questioned and Love is allowed to remain present. The overall message is that freedom comes not from changing the world outside, but from transforming the internal realities that shape how the world is experienced.

A significant portion of the show centers on Bridget’s process around her mother’s relationship with family members and the emotional pain triggered by an upcoming visit from her uncle. Bridget shares feelings of hurt, rejection, and being misunderstood, while Michael gently guides her away from stories about family members and back toward ownership of the pain arising within her. He explains that the mind automatically creates stories about others to explain internal emotional states and that true healing begins when those stories are set aside and the underlying pain is faced directly.

Michael introduces a central principle of Aramaic forgiveness: perception is driven by goals. When a goal is loaded into the mind, it recruits unresolved content that forms a perception. In Bridget’s case, the goal of being seen, understood, and honored for who she is today activates old pain from childhood and family experiences. Michael explains that forgiveness involves canceling the goal, allowing the perceptual construct to collapse, and creating access to the underlying emotional reality that needs healing. As Bridget breathes through the process, memories, physical sensations, grief, and deeper layers of family pain begin to surface.

The discussion expands into the nature of denial and projection. Michael describes denial as thinking or speaking as though something outside oneself is causing what is happening internally. When denied emotions are dissociated, the mind creates elaborate stories that appear to explain the pain while keeping the real cause hidden. Participants explore how unresolved trauma becomes a kind of energetic signal that repeatedly attracts situations and relationships that mirror the same unresolved content until healing occurs.

Mitzi joins the conversation and shares insights from her own healing journey, particularly around inherited beliefs about self-sacrifice, rescuing others, and placing everyone else’s needs ahead of her own. Michael reframes teachings she received from her mother and explores how many well-intended family messages actually disconnect people from the state of Love they most need in order to serve others effectively. The discussion highlights the importance of remaining connected to active present Love rather than abandoning oneself in an effort to rescue others.

The conversation then turns toward impatience, irritation, and Power Person dynamics. Michael explains that when people are under stress, they often engage in behaviors that were modeled by the very authority figures whose actions hurt them most. He suggests that whenever a person notices strong reactions toward others, it can be useful to ask, “How did it feel when my Power Person did that to me?” This question provides a direct pathway into previously dissociated material and helps reveal the roots of present-day emotional patterns.

A major teaching in the episode involves perception itself. Michael explains that human beings do not literally see with their eyes. Instead, the brain receives information and constructs a reality based on stored content, memories, beliefs, and unresolved experiences. What appears to be objective reality is often a projection shaped by personal history. He illustrates this principle through examples of witnesses observing the same event yet reporting vastly different experiences because each person filters reality through their own internal database.

The show concludes with a discussion of hostility and fear as forms of mental illness that arise whenever the mind loses connection to active present Love. Michael emphasizes the Aramaic teaching of Rakhma as the first law, describing it as the condition that keeps the mind connected to Love. Participants reflect on the importance of maintaining Breath, canceling goals, questioning perceptions, and returning again and again to the present moment. The overall message is that healing occurs when individuals stop trying to change the external world and instead use every trigger as an opportunity to access, dissolve, and forgive the unresolved content within themselves.

Mitzi shares that she has begun a personal retreat dedicated to healing and self-reflection. The discussion explores the transformative power of silence and solitude. She describes previous retreat experiences in which mental chatter gradually slowed, allowing her to witness thoughts arising from a deeper place within. Michael shares his own experiences with extended silence practices, describing periods when suppressed mental content surfaced intensely before giving way to greater clarity and freedom. The group reflects on the value of creating space away from constant stimulation, allowing unresolved emotions and unconscious patterns to surface for healing rather than remaining hidden.

Bridget then reports on a major breakthrough involving her mother and her uncle John. Following the emotional work completed during the previous week’s Power Person discussions, Bridget describes how she approached a difficult family situation with presence, Breath, and a willingness to release goals and expectations. Rather than becoming reactive, she remained committed to Love and conscious awareness while her mother struggled with fear, shame, and long-standing family dynamics. As events unfolded, her mother ultimately acknowledged her own role in creating separation and misunderstanding within the family. Bridget shares how releasing attachment to outcomes allowed healing opportunities to emerge naturally, culminating in her uncle reaching out to reconnect with her directly.

Michael emphasizes that healing occurs when individuals remain present with their own emotional experience rather than becoming lost in stories about others. He reminds participants that they cannot actually feel another person’s pain; instead, situations resonate unresolved content within themselves. Through Breath and forgiveness, these internal dynamics can be accessed, healed, and released. The group discusses how maintaining Love in the face of conflict creates a space where truth becomes visible and old patterns lose their power.

The conversation returns to the Power Person worksheet, with Michael reviewing its purpose as a tool for dismantling the false self constructed from hostility, fear, and inherited beliefs. Participants are reminded that the goal is to become the thinker apart from the thoughts, the feeler apart from the feelings, and the actor apart from the actions. By observing mental and emotional patterns rather than identifying with them, individuals begin reclaiming their true nature as conscious active Love.

A major teaching focuses on the distinction between reality and actuality. Michael explains that what most people call reality is often a construct generated by carbon-based memory and past experiences. Actuality, by contrast, exists beyond the limited perceptions created by unresolved emotional content. Forgiveness serves to collapse false perceptions and create space for actuality to enter awareness. Through Breath, individuals gain access to information and intelligence beyond the confines of conditioned thinking.

The discussion concludes with reflections on thought as energy. Michael explains that thoughts create energetic waves that influence both individual and collective consciousness. Each act of healing strengthens the availability of healing for others, much as new discoveries become accessible once they have been brought into human awareness. Participants are encouraged to recognize the importance of their own healing work, not only for themselves and their families, but for humanity as a whole. The episode closes with gratitude, commitment to the process of forgiveness, and a renewed focus on living as the physiological presence of Breath and Love.

Andrea reflects on her tendency to freeze, hold her breath, and withdraw when deeper connection begins to develop. Michael explains how resistance and tension lock old energies into physiology and encourages her to pay attention to where those sensations live in the body. The conversation highlights the importance of allowing previously hidden emotions to surface rather than managing them mentally. Andrea also shares a significant breakthrough with her daughter Alex, recognizing how codependent patterns and parentification affected their relationship. Through honest communication and accountability, a deeper level of trust, understanding, and healing has emerged between them. Michael acknowledges the profound impact that such healing can have across generations.

The conversation then shifts to questions from Audrey regarding A Course in Miracles and the meaning of forgiveness. Michael explains the distinction between the Greek concept of pardoning someone and the Aramaic understanding of forgiveness as removal. He emphasizes that forgiveness is not about letting another person off the hook for what is happening inside of us but about removing hostility, fear, grief, and other forms of suffering from our own minds and bodies. He further explains that the Aramaic term often translated as “Holy Spirit” is more accurately understood as Breath, describing Breath as the living force that removes the effects of error and reveals truth.

A deep discussion follows regarding perception and reality. Michael explains that human beings do not actually see the external world directly. Instead, the brain receives energetic information and constructs a personal reality from memories, beliefs, and stored experiences. What people call reality is often a projection generated from carbon-based memory rather than direct awareness of actuality. Forgiveness serves to collapse those projections and open space for a more accurate experience of life. The group reflects on how hostility, fear, and unresolved emotional content shape perception until they are brought into awareness and dissolved.

Later in the show, Rex joins the conversation and shares challenges surrounding the healing of his fractured wrist. Complications following a cast adjustment triggered physical pain, swelling, and feelings of abandonment and vulnerability. Michael guides him to look beyond the immediate medical situation and explore the deeper emotional patterns being activated. Together they examine themes of control, trust, support, victimhood, and power person dynamics. As Rex breathes into the physical sensations and emotional responses, he recognizes connections to earlier experiences of abuse, betrayal, and difficulty receiving care.

Michael encourages Rex to use Breath to soften resistance and allow healing energies to move through the body. The discussion emphasizes that physical symptoms often reveal opportunities to release deeper layers of unresolved experience. Participants join in holding space for Rex as he explores surrender, forgiveness, and the possibility of receiving support without fear. The conversation closes with reflections on Breath as the pathway to healing, the importance of releasing hidden pain, and the recognition that every act of forgiveness contributes not only to personal healing but to the healing of future generations.

Susan shares an inspiring update about her grandson Luke, who is more than three years sober and now mentors dozens of young people who are struggling with difficult life circumstances. Drawing from his own healing journey, Luke gathers young people together, shares his story, and introduces them to tools for personal responsibility, prayer, and forgiveness. Michael highlights the power of one person helping another and encourages listeners to pass the tools forward through the Heartland Aramaic Forgiveness app and other resources available through the work.

The conversation explores the body’s energetic nature and the intelligence present within living systems. Michael references research showing that a mother’s breast milk changes composition based on the needs of her infant, suggesting a deeper energetic communication occurring through Breath and human connection. He reflects on the possibility that greater scientific exploration of Breath and forgiveness could reveal profound insights into healing and human physiology.

Rex reports significant improvements following an extended breathing session after the previous day’s show. He describes experiences of entering StillPoint, a state where the breath becomes extremely subtle and a deep healing process unfolds. Michael shares his own early experiences with StillPoint, including awareness of an internal process that seemed to be reorganizing and releasing stored patterns beyond the conscious mind. Together they discuss how resistance slows healing while relaxation and Breath allow the system to enter a “superconductor” state where transformation accelerates.

A major theme throughout the show is the Shikinta, described as the indwelling Presence experienced as a subtle pulsing energy within the body. Michael explains that when resistance drops, this Presence becomes more apparent and can be felt moving through areas of injury or stored trauma. Participants discuss sensing these pulses during healing work and how conscious attention combined with Breath appears to support restoration within the body. Rex shares observations of pulsing around his injured wrist and explores how shifting from seeing himself as a victim toward participating consciously in the healing process changes his experience.

Andrea joins the discussion and reflects on meditation, fascia, dream states, StillPoint experiences, plant medicine, and the relationship between Breath and awareness. She describes experiences of entering profound states of processing and insight during meditation, while Michael explains that Breath collapses the constructs of carbon-based memory and creates access to actuality beyond conditioned perception. They discuss how many healing traditions point toward similar experiences while emphasizing the value of conscious embodiment and integration.

The conversation repeatedly returns to the distinction between stored memory and direct awareness. Michael explains that carbon-based memory functions as a recording device that often shapes perception through past experiences and generational patterns. Forgiveness, Breath, and StillPoint work allow individuals to release those conditioned responses and reconnect with the living presence of Love. Andrea shares ongoing challenges related to post-concussion symptoms and deeply ingrained patterns of overdriving herself. Michael encourages patience, reminding her that many of these patterns have roots extending through generations and that healing unfolds layer by layer rather than through force.

The episode concludes with reflections on surrendering goals, releasing resistance, and allowing Breath to guide the healing process. Participants are encouraged to trust the timing of their journey, remain connected to conscious Breath, and recognize that every step toward healing contributes to freedom for themselves and future generations. The central message is that Breath remains the direct pathway to healing, guidance, and the restoration of human life as active present Love.

The conversation explores the meaning of Yeshua’s statement, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” with Michael explaining that the teaching points to a pathway and set of tools rather than the worship of a personality. Participants discuss the difference between following principles that produce healing and turning those principles into rigid doctrine. The group reflects on how genuine spiritual growth is measured by the fruit produced in one’s life rather than by beliefs alone.

Bridget shares exciting progress in her commitment to honoring her physical body through nutrition, exercise, swimming, and personal coaching. She explains how reducing sugar, improving diet, and working with a trainer have significantly improved her energy, joint comfort, and overall sense of well-being. Michael reinforces the importance of viewing healing as a whole-person process that includes mind, body, Breath, and lifestyle choices. The discussion highlights the need to build the “brain cells” necessary for understanding and embodying new levels of awareness.

Camie reports major breakthroughs in her healing journey, particularly around codependence and the realization that other people’s happiness is not her responsibility. She shares how years of intense emotional work have resulted in greater serenity, reduced nervous system activation, and a deeper ability to support herself rather than seeking validation externally. Michael acknowledges the profound shift from living in chronic fight-or-flight responses to living from a place of active present Love and self-responsibility.

The conversation turns toward difficult questions involving family boundaries, sexual abuse recovery, accountability, and personal safety. Camie describes concerns involving a family member accused of inappropriate behavior and seeks guidance about balancing compassion, support, and accountability. Michael, Kerry, and others discuss the importance of honoring personal boundaries while simultaneously recognizing opportunities for forgiveness and healing. The group emphasizes that forgiveness does not excuse inappropriate behavior but allows individuals to address their own emotional realities while supporting truth, accountability, and healing.

Throughout the discussion, Michael repeatedly returns to the principle that healing begins with responsibility for one’s own internal experience. Participants explore how past trauma, projection, and unresolved emotional pain influence present perceptions and reactions. Rather than focusing solely on changing others, the conversation encourages listeners to use emotional triggers as opportunities for deeper self-awareness and healing.

Later in the show, Bridget provides an update on her mother’s hospitalization and mental health challenges. She shares efforts to support both her mother and her aunt while simultaneously preparing for her own upcoming shoulder surgery. Michael encourages her to remain centered, breathe, and avoid carrying more responsibility than is hers to carry. The group joins in holding space for Bridget and her family while recognizing the importance of balancing service to others with appropriate self-care.

The episode concludes with reflections on patience, healing, surrender, and trust. Participants share gratitude for the support of the MindShifters community and acknowledge the long-term nature of healing generational patterns, trauma, codependence, and emotional pain. The overall message emphasizes that true healing requires willingness, Breath, responsibility, healthy boundaries, self-care, and the consistent practice of active present Love.

From chatroom:

michael ryce: You are likely thinking of a combination of a couple of different New Testament passages. While the exact phrasing “If I come in my own name, I am a false prophet” does not appear verbatim in scripture, the concept aligns closely with two specific teachings by Jesus in the Gospels.

Here are the actual biblical passages that address coming in one’s own name and the identifying of false prophets:

1.Coming in One’s Own Name

In the Gospel of John, Jesus speaks about the authority of someone who represents God versus someone who represents themselves.

John 5:43 “I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.”

In this context, Jesus is pointing out the hypocrisy of the religious leaders who reject Him—even though He comes with the authority and backing of God the Father—yet are willing to accept self-proclaimed teachers who come only on their own human authority. 

2.Prophets Speaking From Their Own Minds

michael ryce: Jeremiah 23:16 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.'”

3.Warnings Against False Messiahs Coming in Jesus’ Name

Jesus also warned that in the future, deceivers would misuse His name or claim His identity to lead people astray. 

Matthew 24:4-5 “Jesus answered: ‘Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, “I am the Messiah,” and will deceive many.'”

~~~~~~~

John 12:44 “And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.”

John 14:12 “Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”

Mark 10:18 “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good (some versions say perfect)? there is none good but one, that is, God.”

John 5: 42-47 “But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father’s name (referring to not his own name), and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”
