Governing from the Throne

When we are looking at how we govern from our throne—what we do from that place of authority—we do not want to act outside of what we see the Father doing. When it comes to releasing frequencies, what we are really doing is releasing intention: a focused desire that originates in God’s heart. The words we speak, the thoughts we carry, and the intentions we release should all flow from the heart of God—and therefore from love.

If you want to attract people into your life who will be complementary, helpful, and aligned with your destiny, then I would encourage you to focus your intention on God’s heart for you. His desire is for you to be blessed, to prosper, and to succeed. Friendship and relationship are part of that blessing.

So, from my throne, knowing God’s heart for me is to be blessed relationally, I release a frequency—which is essentially my intention. When I release that intention, I am releasing my desire for God’s desire for me to be outworked in my life.

Releasing Positive Frequencies

My thoughts and intentions, then, are focused: “I want this frequency.” I can also use words, because spoken words carry frequency. When we speak them into being, they resonate out into the atmosphere—into the spiritual atmosphere—and connect with the spirits of people. Some of those people may already be seeking connection; others may not be, but they will be drawn to that frequency—the energy of the words, the intention, and the thoughts released.

How do you do this? Very simply. You sit on your throne, and you think—with intention—to release your desire to connect with those people who will be beneficial to your life and to whom you will also be beneficial. You might make a declaration: I decree that those people who will be beneficial for my life, and I for theirs, in relationship and fellowship, we will connect. I release this frequency to draw them into my circle of life, so I can find and connect with them—whether personally, physically, online, or however it may be.

Speak the words that follow the intention and thought of your heart—aligned to God’s desires—and as you speak them out, they will vibrate with energy, reaching out to connect with others. When God once told me to release a blue light, I had no idea how to do that. So, all I did was say, “I release a blue light.” And in speaking those words, I created a blue light that reached people across the world. I did not understand the mechanics, but my desire created the reality. That light connected people to me—for the Joshua Generation and for governmental relationship.

Attracting Supportive Relationships

It was simple. I just did what I knew to do, because I desired to do what God had said. That was enough. It does not need to be complicated. You can think about it; you can even write something down that captures your intention.

The same principle applies to all areas of government from our throne. We never govern independently or out of our own understanding. We govern only in response to what we see the Father doing. This means we need face-to-face, heart-to-heart relationship with Him—because that is how His heart is unveiled to us. From there, we can creatively bring His government by making decrees, releasing intentions, even sending out angels.

One thing you can do to help connect with others is to send your angels to engage with their angels—to see whether a connection can be made. There is creativity in this. There is no rigid formula. You can make it up as you go along. As long as your motive is to fulfil God’s heart, there is freedom.

Some people may draw others simply through their thoughts and intentions. Others may need to speak out decrees, or take a specific action. When I was looking for relationship, I initially expected God to do everything. I knew how to release intention and did so—but still I was expecting Him to make it happen passively. Eventually, He showed me what to do. When I acted on what He revealed, that created the opportunity for relationship. I was not passive, I was active. But I did not go out and try to make something happen in my own strength—I remained at peace—but when He showed me, I acted.

The Power of Declarations

So, in terms of governing, we outwork His heart by decreeing, declaring, and operating within the angelic realm. There is so much we can do: making laws, writing legislation—if we have the mandate—but the key is this: operate out of who you are. Do not try to be someone else. Be you. Being who you truly are will attract others. It will draw those who resonate with you.

Your words become a fragrance—something people will either be drawn to or not. Some people will love it. Others will not. Just like with food—I love the smell of curry and spicy dishes, but I am not drawn to the smell of fish because I really do not like it. The same principle applies here: the right fragrance—the frequency of your words, thoughts, and intentions—will draw the right people. And it all flows from living as your true self, aligned with the heart of the Father.

449. The Cloak of Mystery

Mike Parsons


The Cloak of Mystery

The cloak of mystery was something the Father described to me when I was engaging with fallen angelic beings, looking to help them find restoration. The Father essentially said, “You can bring them into a place”—like a cloud of darkness around Him—that He described as the cloak of mystery.

Now, a cloak is something you put on, and mystery is something you do not understand. So, in a sense, I do not fully understand it—but I did embrace what He said. What I felt, for me, was that when I engaged a fallen being, I could surround them with my spirit and bring them into a place—not within me, but within this cloak of mystery—which became a safe space for them to begin discovering where they fitted within God’s kingdom and all that entailed.

When I engaged with some of these beings, they were afraid of what might happen to them—especially from others still aligned with their previous order or hierarchy. They were genuinely fearful, so they needed a safe place in which to explore a restored relationship with God and begin rediscovering their true identity. This cloak of mystery provided that kind of sanctuary.

Just as I go into the realm of light in perfection, I entered that realm through a dark cloud of mystery. Within that, I found a place where I could engage with God—dwelling and abiding face to face, heart to heart with the Father. It was, in a way, a hidden place—a secret place. So, you could say that the cloak of mystery is a kind of secret place—hidden from the view of others—so that these beings could be safe as they found their place.

Creating a Safe Space

Is this something for others too? I believe so. If you are called to engage with fallen beings—if that is part of your journey—and you need to convince them that it is safe to pursue restoration, then you could use this as well.

I engaged with them in my spirit, allowing them to sense the genuineness of my love and to know that I was sincere in what I was offering. They could feel and recognise the truth in it.

The cloak of mystery was not just something I wore or carried. It was an actual place—a secret place—not just for my benefit, but for theirs. It became a space I could invite them into for their sake. It was somewhere they could go, be hidden, and begin the journey of restoration—safe and secure—before being released into God’s purposes. I cannot say exactly where it is, but I know it is within the realm of God’s kingdom. It is not beyond that—into the kingdom of heaven or beyond—but very much within the kingdom.

I engaged with it also in the atmosphere of the earth. It felt like a space of safety and security that God Himself called the cloak of mystery. They would be clothed in mystery—clothed, if you like, in darkness—which would hide them from the view of those who might wish them harm. That was key.

Restoration and Return

I believe that this place is available for all of us to use—to introduce beings to it, helping them come into a place where they can be safe and secure.

Some of them embraced the restoration of their destiny and then went on into the service of God. Others returned to the place of darkness to inform others of what was happening—to reveal what strategies were being employed and how things had changed. Different outcomes took place depending on the individual being’s journey through restoration.

Hopefully, that gives some insight. I do not claim to understand everything about it. But again, I encourage you to go back to God. Ask Him to show you how to use this, and what to do if you are engaging in that kind of work. As with anything in the kingdom, the more you use it, the more comfortable and familiar it becomes—and the easier it is to outwork.

448. The Truth of Who We Are

The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord led me to a waterfall so high that I could not see the bottom. I felt it was an invitation to go deeper. So, I stepped off. I took a step of faith and ended up gently floating down that waterfall. It was a wonderful experience, because I was again being soaked in love and in God’s voice—speaking words of affirmation over me—until I came down into a pool in the Father’s garden.

I entered that pool, and on the surface, it was very turbulent because of the waterfall pouring into it. I sank into the pool. I did not stop to think about it—I just sank. As I went down, I reached a point where I was suspended in the water, and it was as if grace and truth were swirling all around me, enveloping me. It felt as though something deep was happening in my life, although I was not fully aware of what it was.

Then I sank deeper. Again, I stopped—suspended—and other truths came around me and enveloped me. I went deeper and deeper, and each of these suspensions at different depths were stages I would later come to understand as steps of ascension into maturity. I was going through them, being prepared for the future. This was part of the process of coming into mature sonship.

It was an amazing experience. I can vividly remember it—the swirling energy, the life, wrapping round me and enveloping me—until I sank even deeper. Not to the very bottom exactly, but then I drifted off in a current that took me into a tunnel, right into the eternal perichoresis, the eternal now. That was the first time I had ever been there. A totally overwhelming experience. I could not stay there—my mind simply could not adapt to it—but it was wonderful. Again, it was preparation for what was to come.

So, God brought about such a transformation and such preparation for the future. It was wonderful.

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “We are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.” This is God’s desire—that he would transform us, change us, and bring us out of the wrong ways we may have thought about ourselves, so that we would carry the weight of the glory of our true identity.

And it is step by step by step. For me, it was a long process of change in order to display my glory. For all of us, there will be a process. I do not know how long it will take for you—as long as it takes. But we are to display our glory, because creation will be set free from its corruption and bondage into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

So, it is absolutely vital that we display our glory—not to puff ourselves up or become proud, but to simply be ourselves. Our glorious identity is the manifest presence of God on earth, as it is in heaven. In us, as his ambassadors, God displays himself. We are living epistles—living letters—representing him, demonstrating his love on earth as we have received it in heaven.

We can choose to embrace and pursue this process of change and become mature, or we can stay as babies, toddlers or infants—depending on what stage we are in—for as long as we choose. But I would encourage each of you: embrace the fire. Embrace the process. Do not hide from it—pursue it. Ask God to take you through whatever journey you need to be on, to bring you to the place where you really know the truth of who you are.

The truth of who we are

Our identity has been shaped by the realm we have lived in, and from the understanding we have received in the realm of our soul. That needs to be transformed so that the truth of who we are in the spirit can be revealed. This whole process gets us ready for the separation of soul and spirit, and their reintegration.

Hebrews 4:12–13 says, “For the Word of God—Jesus—is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from his sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”

God sees it all. Are we willing to see it as well? Are we willing to embrace this process, so that he can be living and active in our lives—dividing, judging the thoughts and intentions of our hearts?

The Mirror Bible puts it this way:

“The message God spoke to us in Christ is the most life-giving and dynamic influence in us, cutting like a surgeon’s scalpel, sharper than a soldier’s sword, piercing to the deepest core of human conscience.”

That is where it needs to go—to the dividing of soul and spirit—ending the dominance of the sense realm and its neutralising effect upon the human spirit, which suppresses our true identity.

In this way, a person’s spirit is freed to become the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of their heart. So, we begin to take on our identity as sons, ruling in love—our thoughts and intentions motivated and directed by love.

The scrutiny of this Word detects every possible disease, discerning the body’s deepest secrets where joint and marrow meet. This is talking about going deep into our lives—to those hidden places—to reveal the truth of those places.

The moment we cease from our own efforts to justify ourselves—by yielding to the integrity of the message that announces the success of the cross—God’s Word is triggered into action. And that is what happens when we come to that point of surrender.

447. Sending Out A Blue Light Call

Mike Parsons


[Summary of the early part of the video]

I think when revelation comes out, people jump on that revelation even if they are not at the level of maturity to be able to operate in it fully. So when benches came out years ago, when governmental authority first emerged, many tried to use it immaturely—confrontationally and law-based—without understanding God’s heart. True government comes from love and maturity, reflecting the Father’s heart. And real authority is restorative, not punitive, focusing on blessing and alignment with God’s purposes rather than opposition or control.

The key is not to get disappointed—maturity takes time and comes from operating in God’s heart, not from rules or protocols. God values relationship and change often happens in transition from the old to the new. Authority depends on jurisdiction; laws only work where God grants authority. It is important to understand those boundaries. And most heavenly laws are permissive: they empower you to do something—they do not restrict you.

A Blue Light Call

[fuller edited transcript]

Questioner: Now I have a question, Mike. I live in the greater Indianapolis area, just outside the city, in a suburb called Fishers. I have done everything I know to try to come into contact with others in the region who are more mystically minded—people who have more of a mystical mindset—and I have got nowhere. I have tried various ways. Just before I came on with you this morning, I was sitting here on the couch, and I remembered the blue light that you have talked about. So, I sent out a blue light. But I am wondering—if you have any record of people in this area, I would be happy to send you my phone number or email. I have no problem with you passing that along to anyone in this region who might want to connect.

I would love to come into fellowship with like-minded people. I have a very good friend who still lives in Florida, where I used to live, and we talk all the time. He is very spiritually compatible, and we bless each other in conversation. But apart from him, he is really the only person I have that kind of direct relationship with.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Mike: Yes, I would say issuing a call in the spirit is a great starting point—and then being open to how that comes back. That is the key. Because people may pick up on that call. But then, how do they know how to contact you? That is always a bit of a question. So, you have to trust that God can handle how those contacts come together.

There was a group—I have a group that meets tonight actually, here in the UK or Europe in general—and several people in that group asked that exact same question: “Is there anyone else around us we can connect with physically?” I think they lived around the Welsh-English border or somewhere like that. I said to them, “Okay—put out a call. Send out a frequency.” And now, five or six of them have actually connected physically and meet regularly. So yes, it can work. And they were all asking the same thing: “Is there anyone else out there who connects with this in the same way?”

Now, I do not personally know where people are located within the Engaging God programme or Patreon. You would have to look at every individual account to find out their location—if they even included it. I do not have that information. There could well be people in your area. I would suggest putting a message on the Patreon forum or the Engaging God forum: “Hey, I am from this area—is anyone else out there who wants to connect?”

That is one way of doing it. Another would be to post a comment under one of the videos we put out: “Is there anyone from this area who would like to connect?” Or put something out on Facebook. So, there are practical things you can do, as well as what you do in the spirit. But I would say: doing it in the spirit comes first and then those are ways that frequency can actually connect with people in a practical way.

[…]

The Father can give you insight into how to connect. You have a Facebook presence, a GAN presence—use those networks. Post something and ask, “Is there anyone in this location who wants to connect?” and just see what comes back. The same would apply on a Don Keathley post or something like that. Post something like, “Hey, I am really interested in this,” or in one of the forums you are in, or one of the groups—just ask, “Is there anyone in this area who would like to connect physically or online?” Start a conversation that way.

I know it is not always easy when we cannot connect physically with people. I am in quite the opposite situation, in that I am obviously connecting with a lot of people in these sorts of forums. But it is never easy. What I have discovered is that generally, God is at work with people far more than we think. But many are quiet and remain silent because they do not want to get trolled online or abused by those still operating within the church system or other systems. And that does happen.

I had to deal with quite a bit of that when we first started posting things that challenged traditional views of God and the evangelical perspective. There were people who tried to change my thinking, who challenged my views, who wanted me to shift my perspective. Some made accusations against me—and quite honestly, I was happy to accept some of those accusations. Yes, I was moving away from their orthodoxy, but I was moving back towards the original orthodoxy that Jesus promoted. What I did not do was take offence or try to argue with them. At first, I had a few discussions, but I quickly realised they did not lead anywhere because we were simply not on the same page.

There are a lot of people out there, but they are keeping their heads down. Particularly in the US, there is such a strong religious spirit that attacks and undermines anyone with opposing views—whether eschatological, spiritual or related to inclusivism or grace. We saw this when people first started talking about the limitless grace of God. They were accused of promoting ‘greasy grace’ and were disparaged in all sorts of ways. So many people have chosen to remain quiet. They are just getting on with it because they do not want that kind of exposure.

It is hard. I remember God preparing me to handle criticism and negativity without taking offence—and helping me learn to manage it in the right way. There were a few people I had to block, simply because they were not respectful. They did not respect the boundaries we had set on our material. In the end, I just said, “Look, I will have to block you. You are not following the guidelines we have laid out.”

There have only been a few like that, not many. I am sure there are lots of people out there who oppose some of my beliefs or the things we post, but generally, I do not see the negative stuff—and I would rather they not see ours either. I do not want to offend people if they are not ready to explore something more open.

So yes, I would encourage you to stay positive. Send out those blue lights, but also consider the practical things you can do to find out where connections might be made. See how God might bring those connections about. There are far more ways to do that now than there were when I started. Back then, I did not know anyone. I had no idea how to connect with anyone. But God wanted people to connect with me—and they did.

People actually reached out. When I sent out the blue light and other things like that, people found ways of making contact. One of the first people who connected with me when we started putting out blog posts said, “Hey, I have questions I would like to ask. I think there are others who would too. Can I create a forum for you?” I did not even know what a forum was! But I said, “Yes, go ahead.” He said, “I will give you admin access, and you can manage it once it is set up.”

So he started this forum and asked, “What would you like it to be called?” I said, “Preparing for Destiny—let us call it that.” And within a short time, there were ten, twelve, fifteen people regularly posting questions and opening the door for me to respond and connect.

Then God said, “I want you to connect with people online in a more personal way—not just through answering questions.” So I used that forum as a starting point. I posted something like, “I am looking to do an online mentoring session or just a get-together. Who would be interested?” Four people said yes. That is how it started. Once we began posting videos on YouTube, more people started saying, “How can I connect? How can I receive mentoring? How can I join these forums?” And it spiralled from there.

When God said, “I want you to do it,” I had no idea how it would happen. I just said, “I am willing. Let us see how it comes together.” And God engineered it over time. There were lots of occasions where it just happened. People contacted me and said, “You came up on my stream,” or, “You were suggested to me on YouTube,” and then connections were made that way.

If you have an online presence, it is easier to make those connections. But we can also use other people’s forums to connect with like-minded people who are exploring similar things. If you are on Justin’s Patreon group, for instance, there is an opportunity to post and ask, “Is there anyone near this location who would like to meet?” You can try that. If no one responds, then either there is no one there, or they are not ready to connect—and there is not much you can do about that.

America is a big country. It is very spread out. If we optimistically estimate there are 100,000 people in the US who are exploring this area, they are going to be scattered far and wide. Likely, they are concentrated more in larger population centres—California, for example—than in rural areas or large agricultural states. So no, I am not saying it is easy to make these connections. Someone on a previous call asked if I knew anyone in a certain part of Australia. I said, “No, I have never been to Australia in a ministry setting, so I have not made those connections.” Though I have had a few calls with people there, and some are part of the programme. Whether they live in the same city is another matter. I did suggest that Justin has done quite a bit over there in the past, so his team might have some points of contact. I told them, “Email the team and ask if there is a connection in your city.”

There are still not that many physical groups meeting regularly on a larger scale. There is one in California—I will be visiting them for a few days at the end of April, beginning of May. They have a physical group meeting there. I know there was a group that used to meet in the Atlanta area, and one in Toronto. But we are not at the point where you could say there is a network of churches all over the US meeting in this way. Same goes for the UK. People ask me the same thing—“Is there anyone I can connect with physically?” All I can do is point them to people I know, but I do not know what those people are doing now. There is Company of Burning Hearts, Glory Company—so there are a few groups. But not in every area. Not that I am aware of anyway. We are still in the early days of that, I think.

Another questioner: I just want to add a follow-up question to what Dan articulated. I suppose I did not catch what was said about the blue light. Could you define what that is—who it is, what it is, how you engage with it, and so on?

Mike: Right, okay. This probably goes back to 2013 initially. The Father spoke to me and said, “I want you to send out a blue light call.” My initial reaction was, “Okay,” but I had no idea how to do that. So I was sitting in heaven on my throne and I said, “I issue a blue light call.” That was it. I did not know anything more to do than simply that. So I did it.

Then I went back to God and said, “Well, what is it for?” He showed me this picture of arcing connections across the world, where people would be connecting and there would be intersections of those connections. The blue light would call those people, and they would begin to connect.

So I thought, “Oh okay, great,” and I did not think much more of it. A couple of weeks later, I was in a physical meeting with some local church ministers in my area at the time. One of them, whom I was fairly friendly with, said to me afterwards, “Do you know anything about a blue light?” I said, “Well, maybe. What do you mean?” And he said, “Well, every time I have been engaging, praying and so on over the last couple of weeks, these blue lights have been coming around me, dancing around me.”

So I asked, “Do you have time after the meeting?” and we connected. I said, “Yes, I issued this blue light call for people who would come together and form governmental connections around the world.” From there, we started meeting to engage in that sort of thing.

I did not go into more detail, because I had not really done anything beyond releasing it. But I have received testimonies from lots of people over the years. Blue lights have come into their rooms, or they have had dreams with balls of blue light. One lady in New Zealand said blue lights were following her car every night. So there are lots of testimonies. And God has asked me to release that call again. It is still out there. It does not stop.

Questioner: I think I told you this before, but when I first came to see you out in Barnstaple, I saw a blue light in the room—at least once, maybe twice. It was like a ball. I thought, “Oh my goodness.”

Mike: That is essentially the gist of it. Whatever you do in the spirit does not just stop—unless God puts a time limit on something. It carries on in the spiritual realm. So people can still connect with and resonate with that blue light call even now. I have issued it a number of times since, for various specific reasons when God directed me to.

I believe God is still wanting to connect people globally in a way that allows for arcing together—forming significant connections for what He is doing. Later on, I connected with Nancy Coen, and she had a vision of a blue grid around the globe. That was just another way of seeing the same thing, really. You begin to realise that God has probably been doing this with a lot of people for a long time!

446. Embrace Love’s Fire

Mike Parsons


“To discover truth, we must be willing to  put pleasant illusions and traditional preconceptions on the back burner for the sake of truth. We have to position ourselves to let truth declare itself to us – the whole truth  and nothing but the truth.” – Don Keathley.

If we are going to receive that truth, know that truth, the truth that will totally set us free, then we must be willing for it to challenge some of the things we currently or previously have believed. Do not hold on to doctrine and theology so strongly that they keep you from the truth and keep you in bondage. On this journey, you will often have to leave what you know in order to walk through the door of what you do not know. Few are willing to do that. It is a risk. It is a challenge—to leave the comfort of what you believe and what you think you know to go through a door into something unknown.

The first time I started to engage in heaven, I did not know where I was. I did not know what I was doing. I did not know anything, other than the fact that the experience was so real, so life-changing, and I was so challenged, encouraged and overwhelmed by it that I wanted more. I pursued with all my heart more of that type of encounter with God because it was so powerful. But I had to be willing to leave behind what I thought I knew in order to continue having those experiences.

So God took me through a process to make me ready to live that way—not just to have one encounter. A couple of years later, I entered into deeper encounters.

Restoring First Love

I have been sharing about restoring first love—what it means to be restored back to our origin in God, who has loved us from the beginning and wants to restore us to our original identity in him—our true identity as sons of God, in relationship with him, within the perichoresis of God’s Father, Son and Spirit relationship.

So I have been sharing what happened to me on this journey. It began around 2010 to 2012, in this particular aspect of it. In 2008, I first encountered heaven, and God began to prepare me, even then, for what was coming. But I knew so little back then—when I think about what I know now. And that was a good thing, because it meant I could not try to help God out. I did not know what I was doing. I did not understand much of what I was experiencing. So I just went with it and let the experiences change me.

I have shared how God used that process to restore me to first love, to reveal my true origin—my true self, my authentic self. People call these things different names—in him, in eternity, before I was ever here.

And I thought I had gone as far as I could. I thought, Yes, this is it. How could there be anything more than this wonderful love that I am experiencing, this wonderful relationship that I am in? But there were always greater depths—more to go beyond into. And God challenged me never to be content with where I was, because there was always a beyond, and a beyond beyond beyond that beyond. God is able to do more—exceedingly, abundantly more—than I could ever ask or imagine.

So there were many areas where I entered in, but God always took me further. And I am so grateful for that, because if I had settled and been content with the wonderful things I had then, I would have missed out on the amazing things I have experienced since. But I had to go through a process to enable me to go beyond and into those depths. I surrendered all.

I Surrender All

I do not know if you have ever sung that song—I Surrender All. I have sung it many, many times. I have said to God, I surrender all. I want you to be Lord of my life. I want you to be Lord of everything. And I meant it. But I found there was always more to surrender. There was always more that I did not know, but God did. And God was never going to leave me in that place, because he wants me to fully embrace who I really am—who he made me to be.

So God took me through this process—the marriage, the wooing of the garden, the lakah, when he looked into my eyes; the revealing of the dance floor, segullah; the preparation of the mikvah, the soaking room. And then comes the ketubah, the huppah, the covering of the betrothal, and finally, the consummation huppah, in the bridal chamber. And when I entered that place, so much into the very person of God—nothing was ever the same again.

But this was a journey. It did not happen overnight. I did not understand it all at the time. But now I realise what God was doing. And I am so grateful for the refiner’s fire I went through to prepare me to enter into the dark cloud. I had experienced God’s presence. I had engaged with Jesus. I had engaged with the Holy Spirit. I had engaged with the Father. But this was to go into a place—in the light of God’s person—face to face. I had no idea what that meant. But the preparation eventually took me there.

The Father continually led me to encounter various places of fire to prepare me: the fire stones, the river of fire, the altar of fire, the judgment seat of fire. They were all experiences like being in a crucible.

Refiner’s Fire

Now, a crucible is where precious metals are purified and refined. In the soaking room, the fire of love judges us to life—testing the quality of our identity and revealing our true destiny. Our soul is purified of the wood, hay and straw of dead works, revealing gold, silver and precious stones—our true sonship identity. It is a purification process of love.

Hebrews 12:29 says, Our God is a consuming fire. Relationship with love always transforms us—if we stay in the place of heat and do not try to escape the crucible.

Refining with fire is one of the oldest methods of refining metals. In ancient times, this involved a craftsman sitting next to a hot fire with molten gold in a crucible, being stirred and skimmed to remove impurities—the dross that rose to the top of the molten metal. Flames would reach temperatures exceeding 1,000°C. It is hot. And it was hot. And what comes to the surface? All the dross. As it heats up, more and more impurities rise to the surface.

If you want to be nine-carat gold, then you get out of the crucible after a while. If you want to be eighteen-carat gold, you can stop the process a bit later. Or if you want to be pure gold—when that surface becomes like a mirror that totally reflects what the craftsman is looking for—then you stay. Pure gold.

Are we willing to be refined and purified? Are we willing to be metamorphosed into our true identity as sons of God? It will require heat. And that may be restrictive. It may be difficult for the soul to experience. The refiner’s fire works through the crucible. The more the wind blows—the wind of the Spirit—the hotter the flames burn. To enter glory, we must go through the fire of transformation.

Are we willing to look into the fire in his eyes? Are we willing to embrace the fiery sword of judgment in his mouth? Not judgment to death, but to life. To engage with the fiery words that pass loving verdict on the dross in our lives, so it can be removed—so we can be free, whole.

Are we willing to be living sacrifices? Are we willing to embrace the altar? It can be really difficult. But the fire from the altar can touch our lives and change us. When Isaiah describes his experience, he says, I am a man of unclean lips among a people of unclean lips. But the coal purged his lips. And what did he say in the end? Here am I. Send me.

That is what God desires—to bring us to a place where we are so in love with him that we are willing to say, Here am I. Send me. Our focus and purpose shift, so that we become an expression of sonship for God’s glory, led by the Spirit—not driven by the soul. Not putting ourselves first, but embracing the reality of who we truly are. Embracing first love. Embracing the true reality of our true identity.

So I surrendered.

Embrace Love’s Fire

 

Spend just a couple of minutes thinking about this, because it is not an insignificant thing. You cannot go into it half-heartedly—because who knows what the fire might do? Ultimately, it is going to purify and refine, and it will be good. But it might be difficult when we have to face the reality
of the things that have been hidden in our lives, things that need to come to the surface, things that need to be purified and refined.

So I just encourage you to close your eyes, come to a place of rest,
where you begin to focus your thinking on God’s love, on the fire of God’s love—that God’s unconditional love is his purifying, consuming fire.

Now if you are willing to be that living sacrifice, to embrace the fire, then just tell the Father. Tell him that you are willing to be a living sacrifice, that you want him to place you on the altar, put you in the crucible, that you are willing for the fire of his love to transform you, change you.

He is love.
You are surrounded by his love right now.
It is a safe place.
You can choose to embrace the fire.

Father, I would just ask right now
that you would take each of us by the hand and lead us,
lead us into the realms of heaven that are open,
lead us to a place of engaging your fire.
Lead us to the river of fire where we can be baptised in fire.
Lead us to the altar where we can be a living sacrifice.
Lead us to the judgment seat
where our scroll can be opened
and we can look into the fire of your eyes.

Father, just lead us to the place that we need to be.

Put us in the crucible and let the fire increase —
the heat of your presence.
Let the Spirit, the wind of the Spirit, would blow,
that it heat up as bellows would heat up a furnace,
that everything in our lives that is not of you
would be consumed by this fire.
That things would begin to be released
from the very deepest depths of our soul.

Father, we surrender and embrace the fire.
Let your fire consume us,
consume everything of self in our soul.

Prepare us to enter that dark cloud of your presence.
Purify our hearts, O God.

Walking in the Spirit (Condensed summary)

Walking in the Spirit is not just being guided by the Holy Spirit or having spiritual moments. It is about living from the spiritual realm, with our spirit active in heaven even as we are present on earth. John’s vision in Revelation was not metaphorical; he really entered a different dimension. It is to live in oneness—spirit, soul and body aligned and flowing with God.

Galatians 5 is about maturity, not inner conflict. The ‘flesh’ is not our body, but our soul acting in independence. As we surrender and align with God’s Spirit, love, joy and peace naturally flow. This comes about through relationship and union—not effort or rules.

Union with Christ means our soul letting go of that independence. It is not denying ourselves in a negative sense, but surrendering our need for control. Real change comes from trusting in how God sees us and allowing Him to reshape our thinking (that is real metanoia or ‘repentance’). Surrender is not a one-off event: the more we get to know Him, the more we are called to let go and trust.

My own deeper surrender came in 2011-12, when I finally gave up the need to understand everything and simply trusted God. That changed everything, and I became whole in a way I had never known before.

Immortality

As for immortality—I have friends who have died despite believing in it. I do not pretend to know why. But I still trust God’s goodness. Their deaths have not shaken my faith, because immortality is not just a question of belief but of living in divine life now, not pushing it into the future.

A diagnosis of Ménière’s disease (vertigo, deafness and medication with grim side effects) forced me to go deeper with God. I came to realise healing was in the atonement. That led first to healing, then living in health, and eventually a shift towards living from immortality—Jesus’ life sustaining mine through communion (as a way of being, not a ritual). Communion is living in constant co-union.

This is not just theory for me—it is my lived experience. It has taken decades to grasp, and is still unfolding. Not everyone will get it straight away, but I hope it will not take too long. The restoration of all things is ongoing: let us keep trusting in God’s life and goodness.
