504. Lucid Dreams and Divine Visions

Mike Parsons –

The difference between a lucid dream and a vision is really only that you are asleep rather than awake when you have it.

The difference between a lucid dream and a vision is really only that you are asleep rather than awake when you have it. They are basically the same thing, just in a different format, one being asleep and one being awake. If you are conscious of what is going on in the dream and you are engaging with the dream, there is no real difference to being conscious in a vision, having an encounter and engaging that vision.

Sometimes it is simply a way that God can engage with us when we are not in control of our conscious thinking, like when we are asleep. If it is a lucid dream and you are interacting with it, then is it a dream that God is giving you and you are in an encounter with God, and are the other people who come into the dream part of that encounter? Either they are visionary, in that God is showing you a person and interacting with you, or that person’s spirit is engaging in your dream.

Again, it all comes down to what God’s purpose is. Therefore you have to go back to God and ask him to show you what he was trying to communicate, what the significance was of a particular person, whether known or unknown, within your dream. Just like a lot of people have visionary experiences but do not know what they are about, they then have to go back to God and ask him.

If you are interacting with the dream and things are happening, those things can be actual things that are going on, or they could be symbolic of something that is going on. Again, you have to discern that. On many occasions where I was engaging things, visionary encounters and experiences, I was there engaging them and things were happening to me. If I was in conversation with God within that experience, then I could trust what he was saying. If God was not there and I was seeing things or doing things, then I would be more cautious in my interpretation of what was happening.

Usually I would then check out what happened with God to ensure that I was not putting my own spin on it. When I first encountered, for example, the high chancellors’ houses, and wisdom took me there and I engaged with the high chancellors and all of the houses, God was nowhere in that encounter. I believe God totally inspired that encounter and wisdom interacted with me in many different ways on God’s behalf. But I always went back and said, “Okay, I need deeper insight into this. What were you trying to show me?” I wanted to make sure that it was a pure experience, not something I was spinning through my own filters or trying to understand through my own experiences.

When God was with me, showing me something and speaking to me, I was more confident. I was sure this was God. Sometimes he told me things that were very clear. He has also told me things that were not very clear. I did not mistrust what he said, I just did not understand it at that point. That usually lodges in my heart and then works out in a future situation, where suddenly I understand what it was about. God will say something to stimulate my attention, where I think, I do not know what he is talking about, or I am not fully understanding this, and then I pursue the understanding of it.

When it comes to people, I have encountered people, or people have told me that they have encountered me in a vision or a heavenly experience. I did not remember those experiences because I was asleep at the time, usually at night, and my spirit engaged them. But when I focused on it, sometimes my spirit gave me information that affirmed that encounter. It was like my spirit said, yes, we did. Sometimes I would say, well, what did we talk about? When they described the conversation and what went on, it was very much in sync with what they said I had said. It was like, yes, that was exactly what I would have said if we had had that conversation.

There are different ways in which you experience and encounter things, and they are all good. Every time I go to sleep at night, I make my spirit available for whatever God might want me to do, outside of all the other things I am doing. It is simply saying, I am available for anything you might want me to engage with. That could include engaging other people. Often those people will gain something from the experience that they are seeking.

I cannot remember engaging a person in that type of visionary experience where I was seeking them, but I have engaged the cloud of witnesses for specific things where I felt there might be some insight. I have engaged people like Esther, David, Daniel, Jacob and Joshua at various times during my journey, and then gone back and re-engaged them at a future date to find out more. There is no real difference between a person who is alive and you engaging their spirit in a dream or a vision, and someone who is physically dead but you are still engaging their spirit and soul within a vision. Hebrews describes them as the firstborn enrolled in heaven. They are still active and we can still engage them.

One of the questions I would ask is whether I can have these experiences when I am awake and not sleeping, because then I can engage the experience more fully. I journal everything. I want a record of the things I have encountered. If you wake up having had that experience, it can be harder to journal exactly what happened in a dream or visionary setting. I have come back and written those things out, but mostly what I do is journal while I am having the experience, so that I am totally aware and completely lucid, writing down what is happening during that experience with God or any other encounter.

Occasionally I go back to an experience because I feel there may be some detail I missed. Often when I am listening and talking to God, I am not paying attention to what is going on around me unless he is pointing something out. Particularly in the early days, when all this was new, I would revisit experiences to make sure I had not missed something. As time went on, I became much more confident in my ability to discern, write down and engage.

So ask God whether you can have these experiences when you are not sleeping, and see what happens. If there is a particular person you are unsure about, ask the Father to show you what to do. Sometimes a person may appear in a dream and prompt you to pray for them, protect them, or respond in some way. Until you get into the flow of it and discover what was behind it, there can be many different specifics.

Sometimes a person may speak to you and tell you something, just as a prophet might come and prophesy. Sometimes a person can be speaking on God’s behalf. That is something I believe I have done on a number of occasions when engaging people in that realm.

Ultimately there is no right or wrong in this. It is all part of learning to discover and journey through encounters and experiences, becoming more discerning and more able to pick these things up. If we are open and we have a lucid dream experience, then it is because God wants to speak to us that way. It may be more difficult for him to speak to us while we are awake, perhaps because we are distracted. When you are asleep there is less conscious activity to interfere.

So ask him, and see if he has insight for you and a purpose for each encounter you are having. I do not see a difference between lucid dreams and visions or lucid visions. They are essentially the same sort of encounter, one when you are asleep and one when you are awake.

503. Vibration and Frequency | Unlocking the Mysteries

Mike Parsons –

Vibration and frequency are slightly two different things. When something vibrates, the frequency is how often it vibrates in a period of time.

In terms of vibration, your physical body is reacting to a spiritual phenomenon. That might be when the presence of the Holy Spirit comes upon you and people begin to shake, or they begin to vibrate, or they might even feel hot. When something vibrates, or you rub it against something else, friction causes heat. So if the presence of the Spirit begins to cause your body to react, it sometimes can feel like it is getting hot, or it can feel like there is a physical sensation, that your body is reacting to something spiritual.

This is a real phenomenon. Whether you are going in the Spirit, translating, or whether you are having a spiritual experience in terms of a vision or an encounter, your physical body is part of that. It may not be physically going into another realm, but your consciousness is going into another realm. You are still connected to your body, and therefore your body may react, and that is perfectly normal. Some people’s bodies may be more sensitive than other people’s bodies, so it may well be that you happen to be quite sensitive in the body to physical spiritual phenomena.

When you are engaging in a dynamic like that, I would not be too concerned with trying to figure it out, because that could cause a distraction. Why am I vibrating? What is going on? Just go with it. It is nothing bad. It is just a natural phenomenon of the body reacting to spiritual things.

You have all sorts of things like that, like people getting slain in the Spirit, as people used to call it. Something physically touches their body in that they cannot stand under the weight of God’s presence, and their body sort of crumples because it just cannot stand in that. Literally, physical phenomena like that happen. People shake, and some people shake quite violently. That could be a sign of something going on in the sense of a wrestling. Sometimes there is a spiritual dynamic where God is setting someone free and there is a resistance to that freedom, and people can shake as a result of that. But sometimes people just shake gently when they are resting in God’s presence and they just have that sort of sensation.

Frequency is slightly different. Frequency is, let us say, a spiritual being. Let us say you engage an angel, and the angel has a vibrational frequency of its light form that makes it visible to us, to our natural eyes. Hence the frequency of the vibration of that being is coming down into the range that we can perceive. It could be vibrating at a much higher frequency than our eyes have the ability to perceive, and we would not be able to see it. But our spirit and our soul have the ability to perceive frequency at a much higher rate than our eyes.

We have frequencies of sound and we have frequencies of light, and effectively they are all electromagnetic energy frequencies. Our eye tunes into different frequencies than our ear does, and the eye has a very limited spectrum that we call the visible spectrum, which we call the seven colours of the rainbow. It has particular wavelengths. Once you go either end of those wavelengths and you get to infrared or ultraviolet, you cannot see them with the natural eye. But they still exist as vibrating energy. You just cannot perceive them with the eye.

You can have audible frequencies which are much higher, which you can perceive. Of course animals, like a dog, can perceive an audible frequency way higher than our ears can detect. But also you can detect those frequencies as thoughts in your mind. So God can be speaking to you. It is a frequency which is not audible to the natural ears, but the brain can translate that vibrational energy and interpret it as a thought. So thoughts have frequencies. In fact everything is vibrating at a frequency, no matter what it is, because everything really is energy, which has a particular frequency.

Some can be felt, heard, or seen, and others cannot be seen naturally or felt naturally, but they can be spiritually. So our spiritual eyes, the eyes of our heart, have the capacity to engage frequencies that are higher, or unable to be detected by our physical senses, but we can still see them, perceive them, and experience them. Whether God is speaking to us, thoughts in our mind, visions in our mind, our imagination, the eyes of our heart have the capacity to produce images that are operating.

We have dreams in that realm. You cannot see dreams with your natural eye, but when you are asleep, your actual soul can engage, and your imagination can actually experience dreams. They are all vibrational frequency patterns of energy that we learn to discern.

502. Breaking Free From Indoctrination | Embracing Love

Mike Parsons –

Over hundreds of years, false doctrine has infiltrated the church and shaped what many people simply accept today.

If you do not see the video above, please click here.

Simplicity of the gospel

Over many years, even hundreds of years, false doctrine has infiltrated the church and shaped things into what we see today, and people have simply accepted it. However, there are explanations for this and different alternatives to all of it. To be honest, why spend your time trying to understand something that was never written for you in the first place?

With all of this, whether it is true or not, let us go back to the simplicity of the gospel that Jesus talked about. Let us love one another. We do not have to agree: let us love one another. Let us love the world rather than trying to convince someone of something. Let the Holy Spirit, who is the only one who can renew someone’s mind, do that work. If people are genuine, then you can have a conversation, but if they are just trying to prove you wrong, then it is a waste of time.

A different view of God

If someone is genuinely searching and thinking, “I am struggling because this does not align with God, how could this be God?”, then they are on a journey towards restoration and renewal of their mind, and you can help them along that path. If all they want to do is convince you that you are wrong, and that there is going to be tribulation and judgment and a millennium and all of that, then that is a very deceptive doctrine, and you will not argue someone out of it. I think God will renew many people’s minds and deconstruct a lot of people, but many will remain stuck in religion and in the system, sadly. But many are leaving it, and many are coming to a different view of God.

We can help them discover that God is love by loving them. It is better to love them than to argue with them. It is better to keep a friend than to win an argument and lose a friend. I think saying, “Look, I do not really want to get into a lot of this stuff, because I think it will just cause problems in our relationship, and I value our relationship more than being right,” and leaving it at that, is often the best way.

It is better to keep a friend than to win an argument.

It is a difficult deception that keeps people in darkness and in bondage, and ultimately only God can bring the light into that. If people had tried to convince me that my eschatology was wrong back in the 1980s, I would not have believed them. But God spoke to me. God did it. I could not argue with God. I just went on a journey where he unfolded a whole different view that I had never even imagined.

God deconstructed me himself

I did not read books about it at first. God showed me through the Spirit by taking me through the whole thing. Once I realised that my whole understanding had been twisted, then I found some books that supported that view, and I realised I was not on my own. Loads of other people believed this as well. But I did not find it through other people. God totally deconstructed me over a two or three year period himself. Then that was confirmed by me reading other things, and there were people who were helpful to me, especially David Chilton: Paradise Restored, The Great Tribulation, and The Days of Vengeance, which is his book on Revelation, a massive book. You can find free PDFs online here:

Paradise Restored: A Biblical Theology of Dominion (1985)
The Days of Vengeance: An Exposition of the Book of Revelation (1987)
The Great Tribulation (1987)

David Chilton started off as a partial preterist in that he believed chapter 20 of Revelation was still future, but he ended up a full preterist because he came to realise that it was all in the past. He got himself excommunicated from the group he was in because he believed that and was persecuted.

Inevitably, I think, if you are open, you will move through partial preterism into preterism. I do not want to be labelled a preterist or not, because there are other things within that system that I do not necessarily think are true, but let us say I am a realised eschatologist. All eschatology is realised. It is already the end. The study of the last things is the study of what happened in the past, not the study of what will happen in the future. For me, that is where I have moved towards.

Not the end of the world

Ultimately, my understanding of that, and the same Bible verses that talk about what would happen at the end of the old covenant, also talk about and have been interpreted as what is hell. Then I realised, I do not believe this is talking about the end of the world. So this is also not the end of the world. Gehenna is not hell. Gehenna is literally talking about the end of the age when the old covenant was put into the fire and destroyed. Jerusalem and the people were put into the fire in Gehenna if they continued in Jerusalem, as Jesus warned them would happen.

They did. The Romans crucified hundreds of thousands and burned them in Gehenna. That was not the end of their life. That was the end of their physical body. Their actual soul would go into the fire of God’s love and hopefully bring about their restoration. I imagine a lot of people would have remembered what Jesus said when the armies turned up, but it was too late if they were besieged, and they would probably have remembered what Jesus said, “You are going to end up in Gehenna.” Hopefully, they would also then have remembered Jesus’s offer of life.

501. Deconstructing Beliefs: A Journey to Authentic Faith

Mike Parsons

The deconstruction of our way of thinking comes from experiencing God. If I present people with theory about God, they will soon spot the gaps in that theory reflected in my own life. If I share the testimony of my experience of God, based on knowing that God loves me unconditionally, that there are no conditions attached, that I have been reconciled and included in Christ and all those wonderful things, then I am able to share that good news with others because I have truly experienced it.

If you do not see the video below, please click here.

If I only offer theory, people will sense it is not real in me. The best form of deconstruction is to experience the truth, which will then challenge the areas in our lives that are not true. Rather than attempting to change lies, experience the truth. Focusing on changing the negative aspects of our lives only makes us focus on the problem, causing it to grow and become more difficult to overcome. If we focus on the solution, the solution addresses the problem.

No one can deconstruct their own mind. Only God can accomplish this. If we keep walking with him, he will do things in our lives that will completely challenge everything we have thought about ourselves, about him, and about everything else. People may try to teach you to deconstruct your mind, though they might use the term “renew your mind” instead. I see deconstruction as the removal of negative things. However, I do not believe it is something God attempts directly; rather, deconstruction happens as a result of God revealing his true nature to us. Instead of God saying, “I am not like this,” he focuses on showing us who he truly is.

Renewing our minds brings about deconstruction because it challenges what I previously believed was true and shows it is not. Those beliefs are then deconstructed. You cannot deconstruct yourself because you do not know what you do not know. You allow God to reveal to you his truth, his love, his light, his relationship, his grace, and his mercy. Those experiences will change the areas in our lives that do not align with such truths.

Deconstruction is a consequence. God is not actively trying to deconstruct you. He is trying to give you the truth, and the truth will change the lies. If people focus on trying to change the lies, they end up concentrating on them. You can modify your belief system, but that is only a set of facts you have chosen to believe are true. That is quite different from truly knowing the truth.

I have changed many things I used to believe because I became convinced that something else was better or that it was actually true. However, until I experienced the truth, it remained an intellectual understanding; the truth is a person – Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life.

I am never going to discover truth by simply trying to invent a new belief system. You need to allow God to show you his character, and that will naturally transform the areas of your life that do not yet reflect who he really is. I know people, and I was the same, who tried to change their thinking by memorising, quoting, or confessing Bible verses. I did that myself. The Holy Spirit was able to work with me to some extent through that process, but essentially, confessing scripture will not make me experience it. It may provide a new perspective, so that I know the verse and can quote it or use it, but until I experience the truth behind it, I do not have a testimony of it in my life. That is the key.

I think deconstruction is spoken about a great deal at the moment because many are undergoing this process. It is not, however, God attempting to deconstruct their minds; it is God giving them a new revelation and experience of the truth, which then causes what is false to fall away. God is not going around trying to destroy your beliefs; instead, he wants to give you something true, and those false beliefs will simply fall away, which is far better. Having a testimony is so much better than having a belief.

500. Jesus, The Ultimate Fact-Checker!

Mike Parsons –

Not seeing the video? Please click here.

Just don’t accept anything from anybody as gospel truth without actually getting that truth from Jesus, the Truth.

And Jesus said to me, “I’m the best fact checker there is”. So I take anything that is dubious, or I’m concerned about, or thinking that can’t be true, or is that true? – I take it before him. And the more I hang out with the Truth, the more I pick up things that aren’t true because they carry the wrong frequency; they vibrate at a discordant frequency that is not harmonious with the truth.

And it becomes easier to discern what isn’t and is true because we practise by training our senses to discern, by hanging out with the Truth, who helps us discern what is true and what isn’t true.

And then love is always the backstop. It is always the backstop. Love is always going to be the thing that you ultimately use in that discernment process.

499. Hook, Line and Sinker: Why Do We Believe False Prophecies?

Mike Parsons –

No video? Please click here.

Once you are susceptible to programming because of the nature of the organisations you trust – being fed by your pastor, and being fed by the apostle, or being fed by the prophet – and that they hear from God and tell you that God said this, then you are susceptible to receiving beliefs which are clearly not true. But because you trust the system you’re in, you believe them.

Hence, all sorts of conspiracies.

Hence, all these prophetic people come out with all this political stuff. It gets bought hook, line and sinker by people because they are conditioned that those people must be right because they are prophets: they must hear God.

And the reality is, we need to hear God for ourselves.

And don’t buy anything anyone else says, including me and anybody else, unless God affirms it to you.

We don’t know to what degree we have been programmed until God starts to deprogram us. And I would say that evangelicalism is very cult-like in the way in which it uses guilt and shame and condemnation to control people, and keep people in line; get people to toe the denominational line or the church line or whatever those beliefs are. Because, “You can’t belong unless you believe like us,” which is the fear, “Oh, I’m going to be on my own!”
And how many have been told, “Well, if you leave the church, or you’re coming out from under the covering, then Satan will get you!” And all of those fear-based things that we have all been told.
Well, God is love and God loves us unconditionally. And he wants us to enter into the fullness of that. And that will change our thinking.
And we will find that we get deconstructed from all of those belief systems, if we cooperate with him and we don’t keep resisting and fighting to hold on to our previous beliefs, which, you know, I discovered most of them were warped at least, if not completely wrong.

Deconstruction has continued to go on all the way through that period, so that I could be free from the religious perspectives that had kept me in bondage; kept me from knowing the true nature of God, the true nature of myself as a son of God and the true nature of creation and all of the wonderful things that we have embraced as being part of that. But it’s not an easy thing. You know, I’ve got to be honest, it is indoctrination.

People who have been in a cult and come out of that cult, it’s very difficult to get the cult out of them. They have to go through a process of deprogramming, which is not easy because the programs are based on reward and fear, which is exactly what the evangelical programming is based on. Fear of hell, fear of losing your salvation, fear of being punished, fear, fear, fear. But perfect love casts out fear. So where is God within that?

Mike Parsons –

There is a new reality: that love now frames my thinking; that God frames my thinking from a totally different perspective. That religion has been removed.

Now, I am not saying that there are not still things to do, and God still did things along the way, but He could do things because my mind was now open to him.

So when the whole hell issue came up, my mind was open to him. And when he started to challenge my understanding of old covenant and my old covenant thinking of trying to be obedient to God and trying to please God and trying to earn… (really again by being obedient).

“I am not under the Law. Oh! Oh, yeah! Why am I trying to be obedient to a law when I’m not under a law?”

Because I was framed that way by evangelicalism.

So I had to realise that there are layers and layers of thinking that still needed renewing. Even when the system of belief was removed, there were still neural pathways that took me to beliefs that needed to be renewed and undone. And deconstruction has continued.

One by one all those pillars began to collapse and fall. Augustinianism was another pillar. I mean, I’ve never studied Augustine. I knew a little bit about Augustine and but I never studied him. I didn’t know what Augustinianism was. So I had to go and look it up.

When God said, “One of the pillars is Augustinianism,” I thought “How did I get that as a mindset?” Because it was embraced within Brethrenism and other streams of thought.

Hebrew mindsets, Greek mindsets, both included within the pillar system of my mind. Again, I thought, how did I get those? Because they’re based within the system of teaching that I had received all the way through.

So eventually when all those pillars collapse, what is there now?
