I decided to ask Archangel Michael what message he had for us today on this day of the powerful energy of the Lion’s Gate portal. So, today's Angel Messages are from The Archangel Michael Sword of Light Oracle Deck created by Radleigh Valentine. As you may remember, this deck brings forward messages exclusively from Archangel Michael who helps us feel safe by using his sword of light to assist us in releasing anything and everything that no longer serves us. He also assists us in discovering our true, life purpose. He provides clarity and helps us live according to our own truth. He wants us to know how much we are truly loved by our Guardian Angels, the Archangels, and the Divine. He states that if we knew the depth of that love, we would never question our value, our beauty, or our perfection as children of the Divine. It is fitting then, that at this time of powerful manifestation his message comes from card #10 Don't Settle for Less.

My Messages:

Dream Big

As I read the title of this card my heart was warmed by the loving message. As we are

supported by the energy of the Lion’s Gate portal in manifesting all that we could dream of, Archangel Michael wants us to know that we are worthy in realizing those dreams and even more. Sometimes it is human nature to wish for something but as we do so doubt quickly seeps in. Many of us from generation to generation have been conditioned to believe that we “can't have it all,” that we should not dream big, and that we should be satisfied with less than what we wish for. Archangel Michael is telling us that it is time for us to release that belief because it no longer serves us. As he says, “You are a child of the Divine and you deserve to have your dreams come true. Don't give up.” We are all children of the Divine and none of us are more or less deserving than another. Source wants us to experience pure joy in this lifetime, so this 8/8 portal is the perfect opportunity to begin to manifest that.

The first step in creating y reality is to decide what we want. As we spoke about last week, now is the opportune time to rewrite your story. You need to be clear in the vision that you have for your future. Whether it is excellent health, wealth, loving relationships, an ideal environment, or other wishes, you need to be clear on what you want and what that looks like. The 8/8 portal is a time of manifesting abundance. This does not only refer to abundant wealth but can also refer to abundant well-being, abundant loving relationships, etc. Once you have a clear vision of the life you would like to create for yourself you need to express that to Spirit. You can do this by writing your wishes down, in meditation, through prayer, through creative endeavors, or simply in having a conversation with Spirit.

Living in Joy

The sheer excitement and joy on the face of the person in the image on the card reflects the feelings that we attach to our dreams. It is that emotion coming from the heart and attached to the thoughts of what we wish for that helps to create them in our reality. Living in the joy and the knowing that we can and will have our dreams manifest is part of the co-creation process. In this year of transformation, we are ready to understand and believe that we are the co-creators of our reality with Source. Our trust in Source and our belief in ourselves, coupled with the emotion of positive thoughts create our reality. We are supported by the Divine as illustrated by the golden light behind the figure on the card. The treasure chest she is opening has released many beautiful butterflies, the symbol of transformation. They are our thoughts and wishes transforming into our reality. The treasure chest has Archangel Michael's initials on it showing us that he is with us at all times to assist in creating that reality.

Support from the Numbers

This is card number 10. One is all about new beginnings and what a better time to create those new beginnings than during the energy of the Lion’s Gate portal? Zero in Angel numbers tells us that we have come full circle. We are ending a phase to enter into a new beginning and through that transition we are supported by Source.

Guidebook Messages (channelled from Archangel Michael)

“Opportunities beyond your wildest dreams await you but only if you allow for them to manifest. The first step in doing so is believing that they are possible. What the Divine has in store for you is pure joy expressed through the evolution of your soul. It is the embodiment of dreams come true, dreams that you don't even know you have.

It's important now to get clarity on what you really want. What do you truly desire when you set aside familial pressures, cultural expectations, and anything else influencing what you think you should want? You may benefit from advice from others, but don't let anyone else dictate your choices.

Where I am, time has no meaning, so I can see the past, the present, and the future. You have dreams for yourself, and they may seem big, but in comparison with the scope of what you can and will accomplish, they are actually rather small. I wish I could show you the details of your future. If you could see that, then for the rest of your life you'd never settle for less than the loftiest goals. But don't worry. Like a butterfly, you will realize your fullest potential. You will transform, and there's a full life full of magical experiences waiting for you.”

The Time is Now

So, as we move through these few days of powerful support from Source, Archangel Michael

wants you to remember how deserving you are. This is your time to decide what you would truly want in your life and to express your heartfelt wishes to the Universe. Keep your thoughts positive, know that you are worthy of a joyful life, and feel the excitement of the new reality that you are co-creating for yourself. You are so loved by the Divine and you are so deserving of having a joyful life.
