Pursuit, Priority and Intimacy

Lives of the Mystics

Most people in history who have had a mystic, intimate relationship with God have been those who were able to dedicate the time to it. Julian of Norwich lived in a cell attached to a monastery, or whatever it was. She lived in a small place with no TV or things to distract her in the same way as we do today. She did not have modern conveniences to make things quicker either, but that was her life. She focused on that.

Looking through history, the mystics are those who have gone and lived in a cave or whatever, and they have this relationship with God because they have not lived what we would call normal everyday life. But I do think it is possible to have an everyday life and live that from the relationship that we prioritise with God. So that everyday life is so much better than it would be without it.


Priority and Discipline

You are never going to have an intimate relationship with God if you do not pursue it as a priority, even if it is a small measure of time. For me, I always wanted to give God the best of my time. That would be when I got up, because nothing had happened in the day. I had slept all night, and I was ready to engage with God for the new day: new mercies every day, fresh mercies. Some people find the end of the day better. For me, it never was. So I chose to give that time at the beginning.

There is a sense of discipline in saying, “I am going to make this happen,” but not because I have to, or because I fear not doing it. That would be the wrong motive. It was because I wanted to, because I desired that relationship and intimacy. So for me, I would get up early and spend time with God before the house got busy with all the children and everything happening.

When I was a child, I was never a morning person. If I got up at eight o’clock, it felt early. But as I became an adult, I trained myself to be a morning person. When I wake up, I wake up. I do not stay in bed for another hour. I get up, alert and ready. I would go downstairs, find a quiet, comfortable place, sit in a chair, and engage with God. At the beginning, that looked like reading the Bible, praying, doing the things I had been taught. But God used that time to transform it into an intimate time of relationship, communication, and conversation.

517. Experiencing Heart to Heart Intimacy with God

From Discipline to Encounter

I started where I started, but that discipline served me well. When I then encountered heaven and began to engage God from a heavenly perspective, it was like, “Wow, I want more of this.” At first, I tried to record everything I was experiencing, which doubled the time it took. Until I learned to journal as I was going, I would finish and then write it all down.

So in the beginning, I thought, “I am going to get up an hour earlier.” I was not going to cut the time short. I was not going to lose the time I was having with God. So I got up earlier. As I learned to journal during the experience, I did not need to double the time anymore, so I did not need to get up quite as early.

The time I had with God reached a natural limit. An hour, or an hour and a half, was about as much as I could contain in terms of the revelation, the conversation, and what was happening. Three or four hours would have been too much. Having a mystic relationship where you spend five hours with God—there is so much happening, especially if heaven operates on a different timescale. How do you absorb all that? For me, I was able to engage within an hour and a half to two hours, depending on the day.


Pursuit Is the Evidence of Desire

But I had to pursue it. I think that is the key. A friend of mine used to say, “Pursuit is the evidence of desire.” You can say you desire something, but if you do not do anything about it, you do not really desire it. You might wish for it.

A true desire is a motivating force. With the right motive of heart, that desire led me to pursue it, and I experienced it. And that experience changed me.

That pursuit created a dynamic where I could live in the consciousness of that relationship without needing to spend all that structured time. It became a constant dwelling, an indwelling, an abiding presence: me abiding in that spiritual reality, learning to dwell in a multi-dimensional sense. That came out of pursuit.

Now I spend less time in what would traditionally be called a quiet time, but I have a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, because it is a constant awareness and sensitivity to His presence. That has meant I am enjoying life in its fullness, in its abundance, in a way I was not before.

If you do not pursue something, you are not going to find it. Why you pursue it is the key. Do not do it out of duty, obligation, fear, or performance. Do it out of desire: “I desire intimacy with God. I desire a deeper relationship.”

That desire led to radical decisions.

332. Embracing Multi-Dimensional Living

Surrender and Transformation

“God, do whatever you need to do in my life to bring me to that point. Get rid of everything that needs to be got rid of. Change my thinking. Heal my heart. Do whatever you need to do. I present myself as a living sacrifice. You prepare me.” And He did.

Every day, I would say, “God, I do not want my will today. I do not want to do things because I want to do them. I do not want a free will. I want to outwork Your heart.” For years, I would say, “I do not want a free will today. I do not want independent choices. I want to be intimate with You.” That shaped what I did, but it took a long time.

It is not like the Matrix, where you plug something into the back of your neck and suddenly you can do kung fu. If you want to learn kung fu, you have to train. You have to practise. You need a teacher. You go through a process. It is the same with God.

My desire meant I gave myself to whatever the process would be to bring me into a place of intimacy and identity, knowing who I am. But that is not why I went into it. I did not pursue God to find out who I am. That was a consequence of discovering who God is. Because in the mirror of His face, I began to see a different person from who I thought I was.

I did not pursue Him thinking, “I want to find my identity” or “I want to fulfil my destiny,” because that would be motivated by me. I just wanted Him.


A Normal Life, Not an Exceptional One

I do not believe I am out of the ordinary. I am a normal person who likes normal everyday things. I like sports. I like movies. I like making things. I like the garden. I enjoy normal life. I am not a mystic living in a cave somewhere. I have a very normal everyday life.

If I can do this, coming from the background I came from (which did not believe in the gifts of the Spirit, and had no real intimacy with God, or even a concept of what that might be), then I believe it is possible for everybody.

I am not more special than anyone else. We are all special to God. We are all created in His image. We are all His children. He wants all of us to enter into the fullness of our relationship with Him as our Dad.


No Excuses, Only Possibility

I do not think anyone can say, “Well, I cannot do that.” I believe all of us can pursue it to the degree that is possible within the circumstances of our lives, or make changes to how we use our time to prioritise it. I understand that people have different circumstances, different seasons of life, and different pressures.

But when I first started to engage heaven, I said, “God, I want to do this every day. I do not want this to be a one-off. I do not want to be telling the same testimony twenty years later about one experience.” I asked Him, “How do I live this? How does this become my life?”

He said to me, “You do it the way everyone else would have to do it.”

Because as a church leader, some people might say, “Well, that is easy for you. You can do whatever you like. You can sit in your office and pray all day.” But God said, do it in the same time that they would have to do it, before they go to work, so no one could say it was easier for me.

I did not develop that personal, intimate relationship in my office. I did it at home, in my chair. I outworked it in the office, but I did not develop it there. That was wise, because it removed the excuse that it was easier for me.


When It Feels Difficult

Some people say it is dry, it is hard, it does not seem to work. It was like that for me at times. There were times when I was trying to hear God’s voice and I could not hear anything. I was trying to meditate and did not know what I was doing. But I did not give up.

There was something inside me that wanted more. I always felt there must be more than this. That desire kept me going.

392. Training Your Spirit | Practical Steps to Engage with God

 

Learning to Hear

It took years to learn how to hear God’s voice. There were months where I was not hearing anything, but I kept going. Eventually, I learned to tune in, to listen, and to recognise His voice.

I am quite tenacious, and I do not give up easily. Some people give up too quickly if it does not happen straight away. We live in an instant, push-button culture: people want immediate results but with God, it is not like that. You cannot have an instant relationship with God. It is not a takeaway meal. You have to make it from scratch.

Some people find that difficult, and I understand that. But ultimately, there is no excuse. I started from a place that was quite disadvantaged when it came to anything mystical. I had no expectation, no emotional experience, no sense of intimacy with God. I believed it was true, but I did not feel anything.


The Turning Point: Encounter

That changed when I was baptised in the Spirit. Suddenly I began to feel—love, acceptance, connection. I remember thinking, “How did I live all my Christian life up to this point without feeling this?” But I had come from a background where feelings were frowned upon. People would say, “Do not go by your feelings, brother. Go by the Word.” That was the culture.

There were a few people who were emotional. There was one man, Howard, who was in the same men’s choir as me. He would cry and become emotional when singing about God’s love and grace.

People would say, “That is just Howard.” But actually, he was experiencing something real: the rest of us were just singing the words.

In the Methodist church, I did not see much emotional expression. In the Brethren church, even less, so that was not normal for me. But God overcame all those obstacles and barriers. He brought me into an emotional relationship with Him that went deeper and deeper and deeper.

So I do believe it is possible for everybody.

522. Allegory, Reality and Relationship: Finding the Balance

The Danger of Over-Spiritualising Everything

For me, the danger in allegorising everything in terms of the Bible is that it can make things that are actually real seem as if they are not real, and only spiritual. For instance, I have heard people like Kay Fairchild and others say, “Heaven is in you.” And in a sense, they are almost saying, “Well, there is no actual heaven. There is no actual real place that you can go to, because it is in you.”

Now, I know the kingdom of God is in us. And there is a sense where the presence of God in us is a manifestation of heaven with us, but it is not heaven. All of the heavenly realms, the spiritual realms, and the angelic do not live in me. They are a spiritual dynamic of a real place. It may not be physical as we know it, but it is no less real.

177. Heaven Around Us, Heaven Within Us


Literal Reality and Spiritual Truth

I think the danger in saying everything is just allegorical and spiritual about our lives means that we can end up saying those things are not really true, they are just ways of looking at life. So people say, “Well, we do not have to wait until we die to go to heaven.” But actually, they are not talking about heaven in the same way that I would say I can engage heaven now, as I can engage God within me now.

There is a danger in throwing out what is literal reality and spiritualising it all. People who take that view often do not believe in literal angels, or literal fallen angels, or a literal devil. They say it is just the accusations in my mind that cause me not to believe the truth. They do not see the devil as a personal being, and they do not see angels as personal beings. I think they are missing out on a lot if they make it purely a spiritual thing of ‘my relationship with God and nothing else’.


Finding Balance, Not Extremes

There is a danger if you do not get a balance in it. Often, when the pendulum swings back to where it should be, it swings too far the other way before it comes to rest in the right place. And sometimes people get caught in that swing and go too far. I do believe in a personal fallen angelic being, whatever you want to call him. I do believe in personal angels. And I do believe in a literal heavenly realm that you can encounter.

We are seated there with Christ in those heavenly realms. It is not just figurative, as in “I rule and reign with God in my life.” That is true, but there is also “on earth as it is in heaven,” which needs to be factored into the equation. There are extremes on both ends of everything. We need to be discerning, not go too far, and not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We need to find the truth in the middle ground, and then live in the reality of that truth and experience the fullness of it.


Not “All Done” and Not “All Us”

You cannot just go from one extreme and say, “It is all done, I just have to believe it.” Most people who try that find it is not all done, and they struggle. Then they feel guilty because they think they do not have enough faith. And on the other end, “It is all about us, and we have to do everything, work out our salvation with fear and trembling.”

There are extremes on both ends.

God has done it all. We have to come into that reality.


Creation Is Waiting for Maturity

In Romans, it talks about creation longing, waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. It is not talking about us waiting to be revealed. It is talking about creation waiting for us to be mature enough that it can recognise our sonship, rather than recognising our immaturity.

Creation will be set free into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. That glory is who God says we are, in its fullness. That is what brings freedom to creation. If we are not fully embracing who we are, then creation is not fully going to be set free. It is down to us, with God, expressing oneness. We are one spirit with Him. In that union, creation can recognise our sonship in the relationship we have with our Father, not independently.

354. Heavenly Home? Revealing Our Sonship to Creation


Allegory and the Old Testament

Yes, some people say it is all allegory, and that is going too far. You can allegorise some of the Old Testament and say there is a spiritual story there that is not meant to be taken literally. But I think most of what we have in the Old Testament reflects that the people who wrote it did not really know God, and wrote from their own understanding.

The Holy Spirit can take any story and apply it to our lives and bring truth out of it. That can be true. But I do not think it is necessary if you have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, with Jesus, with the Father, where they can reveal that truth to you directly.


Relationship Over Interpretation

Why go through a mediator of a book, trying to understand God through stories? Jesus is the truth. He is the living Word of God.

There is too much focus on trying to find God in the Bible, in allegory, and in stories, when we can actually meet Him, follow Him, hear His voice, and encounter Him every day. I do not see the point of spending all that time trying to use a story to understand God. That is theology: understanding God through the Bible.

I would rather understand the Bible through God than try to understand God through the Bible. Whose version would we use? Whose allegorical interpretation?


Do We Need the Book?

I would focus on relationship.

God will reveal Himself and reveal who we are in that relationship without the need to focus on trying to understand the book, whether literal, allegorical, or anything else.

Why do we need it?

Jesus did not say we were going to have a book. He said we were going to have a relationship. A lot of time is spent trying to understand a book that we do not really need to spend. However, if people are used to the book, then you can use it as a frame of reference for them, because they do not yet have the experience.


The Missing Dimension: Experience

My perspective on people who teach like this is that they do not have a personal experience of heaven. They do not have a personal experience of engaging God on the inside. They are trying to explain relationship using the allegories of the book. I am not saying the truth they teach about grace, love, and the finished work is not true. It is wonderful. But the relationship is the relationship. The mystical dimension is missing from a lot of their experience. They have not gone to heaven. They have not had face-to-face encounters with God. They are not dwelling and abiding in that face-to-face presence.

Or if they have, they are not sharing it.

I am not saying they have not had those experiences. I do not know them well enough. But they are not sharing that relational encounter dimension. Instead, they are presenting a different belief system.

406. Recognise the Finished Work of Jesus


Belief Versus Experience

It is not about believing something differently about God. It is about experiencing it. When you experience it, you will believe it. If you are just trying to believe it, it becomes another belief system that you are trying to have faith in.

There is a danger in creating another good belief system that may be mostly true, but is not fully encountered. Experiencing the truth is very different from believing the truth. If you have experienced Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life, if you have encountered Him face to face, spoken with Him, and He has spoken with you, that is very different from believing what the Bible says He said.


Encouraging Real Encounter

I resonate with a lot of what these teachers say about the love of God, the unconditional nature of His love, and grace. But something may be missing if people are not being encouraged to have real encounters that are actually experienced, not just believed.

505. A Royal Priesthood | Embracing Our Identity as Sons

Mike Parsons

Let’s recognise our identity as sons, and our position in heaven, seated in heavenly places, functioning in the order of Melchizedek.

We are functioning as priests and kings, and as oracles and legislators. We are close to the Father’s heart. We know the Father’s heart. We establish the Father’s heart through government. We work that as an oracle. We call it into being creatively, and we legislate for its function on the earth. These are the outworkings of our sonship through the order of Melchizedek.

We are a royal priesthood. We are oracles and legislators. We found things on truth. When we become the word made flesh, effectively, Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, dwelling among us, full of grace and truth. In the same way, we are to operate as sons of God, having the power of speaking for God, as his voice. When we speak with his voice, creation responds. The quantum realm collapses into reality. We change the reality of things. Quantum wave functions collapse into choices that are aligned with the heart of God. That is our sonship. That is what we are called to do. That is who we are.

We establish it in heaven because we are seated in heavenly places, aligned to the Father’s heart in heaven. Then we begin to bring heaven to earth, to outwork heaven on earth through our lives, and corporately through those who are together with one mind, the mind of Christ. Our sonship identity comes out of love. We need to know our origin in God. We need to know who we are, who we were and who we are going to be, so that we can outwork our identity as those made in the image of God in a creative way. We are created in God’s image to be creative, to establish co-heirship in everything.

Therefore, we need to know who we are. But we are only going to know who we are if we know who God is. In knowing who God is as love, the way we do things will change, so that we do everything aligned to love. That changes the whole way we respond to the world’s situation and how we outwork government, not in a controlling or warfare-type way, but in a legislative, loving way that brings peace and rest.

It can seem like utopia. It can seem like it is a million miles away from where we are. But you do not know what is going on underneath. You only see what is on the surface. Things are beginning to shift. People are beginning to awaken. Enlightenment is taking place. The balance is beginning to shift. You do not see it until enough weight is added to the other end of the balance. If you keep adding weight, it only takes one feather to tip the whole thing.

What we are seeing is people becoming enlightened to their identity in sonship, adding weight to God’s kingdom. Once the balance tips in favour of God’s kingdom, everything begins to flow. At the moment it can feel like everything is going uphill, going against the tide, against the stream. It feels like hard work, as though darkness has the upper hand and we are trying not to slip back into it. But actually it is not like that anymore. It does not take much to tip it. Then everything begins to flow from heaven to earth, as it was designed to do.

This requires us to see with the eyes of the spirit, the eyes of our heart, and not to panic by only looking at the world and its symptoms. We need to recognise that God is at work. The kingdom is expanding and increasing. God’s government is increasing. People are becoming enlightened to the true nature of who God is and to their true identity. Enlightened people will shift things. Enlightened people will tip the balance.

It does not require equal numbers, because enlightenment is exponential. Twelve enlightened people operating at the level of Jesus would tip the whole world. At present there may not be people fully enlightened as Jesus was, but even getting halfway there would make a huge difference. If people reach eighty per cent, it would make an even greater difference. Enlightened people can change things significantly. I believe that is what is happening.

You may not see it. Those who are not wise or discerning look at the world and panic and become fearful. But if you look with the eyes of faith and the eyes of enlightenment, you see what God is doing. There is far more going on than people generally see, and it is preparing the way for changes that are coming. Enlightened people will establish God’s government, not narcissistic, power-hungry people with agendas that are not God’s kingdom.

Trying to make better versions of the world’s failing systems is not the answer. They are still fundamentally flawed. We need a new government, a new kingdom, established on earth as it is in heaven. As sons, we are responsible for that, in alignment with the Father’s heart. People are beginning to awaken. Some are awakening who do not even call themselves Christians, yet they know God, even if they do not yet know him as Jesus. Sometimes their relationship is more truthful than religious relationships.

People are awakening, and ultimately they will discover that Jesus has made a way to the Father. Our sonship is found in coming to the Father and discovering who we are. Jesus opened the door to the Father so that we could have relationship with him. People are beginning to discover that relationship and awaken to the truth.

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.

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.

476. Love As A Movement: Challenging the Status Quo

Mike Parsons

We need to see people restored—brought out of darkness into light. That will not happen by trying to destroy them or confronting them with the same spirit in which they operate. True change comes through love. However, this does not mean that we just sit back and allow them to do what they like—we can and should stand for what is good, for righteousness, and for peace and joy. Importantly, we are not required to cooperate with those who use their power for selfish ends. These individuals typically control vast amounts of money, the media, and many of our major systems.

Therefore, we must begin to consider how we can legitimately remove their power—by refusing to participate in their ways of doing things. Real change starts as a grassroots movement; you cannot simply remove individuals, as new people will always fill the vacuum. What we actually need is systemic change, so when people see that our current financial system only enriches the same few and keeps the rest in poverty, they must stop supporting and engaging with that system.

To achieve this, alternative systems—kingdom government, kingdom banks—are needed, systems where money is not used for usury or lining the pockets of the wealthy, but for good. It may mean moving money out of institutions that fund selfish agendas and into systems set up for the benefit of all. When the time is right, if people withdraw their money, those individuals lose much of their practical power.

But it is crucial that there be something positive to replace the existing system—one truly governed according to godly, heavenly principles. Chasing every new “prophetic” financial trend, such as cryptocurrency, is not the answer; these rely on infrastructures that could fail or be manipulated in much the same way as traditional systems. Instead, there are established alternatives already in place—cooperatives and credit unions, for example—which are designed to support people and communities rather than corporate profit.

Ultimately, genuine change is possible only as people themselves are transformed. When enough people change, society will inevitably move away from corrupt systems. We should expect resistance from those benefiting from the status quo, especially when new technologies such as free energy threaten entrenched interests. Historically, those with power have bought up, suppressed, or blocked such advances to protect their profits. If technologies that advance the common good are to be released, we need the right people administering them and providing the necessary finance—including for practical matters like community-controlled water sources, so no one can monopolise such basic assets when their value increases.

We must plan wisely, ensuring that whatever solution we pursue does not create a new set of problems, but genuinely serves people and fosters a just and sustainable future.

475. Preparing for the Shift: Spiritual Readiness in Uncertain Times

Mike Parsons

We need to get ready. I think now is the time to ask ourselves: what are the signs? What should we be aware of? We need to seek God, ask for discernment regarding what’s coming, and be prepared to deal with whatever may arise. The parable of the wise virgins is relevant—their lamps were filled with oil, but they also brought extra oil so they were prepared and their lamps kept burning. Likewise, we need to be proactive: ready and prepared.

This preparation covers all areas—building up health and wholeness now, being ready for whatever may come, whether that’s changes in the financial system, new forms of government, or presenting a new, kingdom-based perspective on the planet. It’s about legislating so that the enemy’s plans to rob and destroy come to nothing. We need to legislate for peace—proclaiming that there will not be nuclear war, civil war, or anything else engineered to bring chaos and destruction. Our role is to protect the earth from the significant changes that might be coming.

There may indeed be dramatic shifts ahead—major changes, such as increased solar activity, solar flares and radiation, or even changes in the gravitational field. No matter what happens, our call is to remain in a place of peace and rest, to be ready, and to engage with a governmental, creative authority as those made in the image of God. If something needs to change, we change it—not by simply repeating old patterns or creating yet another doomed system, but by calling things into being, by creating change in line with God’s original purpose.

We must abandon the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and instead pursue God’s original design for humanity and the earth. How would God have us live? Christians, as it stands, often struggle to live harmoniously even among themselves, let alone with others. We must move beyond division, set aside arguments over theology and doctrine, and instead establish relationship with God as our solid foundation—a plumb line for all else to align with. I believe this is where God is leading us.

More and more people are becoming disillusioned—with life as it is, with religion, with government. People are realising current systems simply aren’t working. Around the world, major democracies are seeing fractured outcomes—coalition governments in India and South Africa, for example, and a lack of representation for many in the UK’s first-past-the-post system. There is no longer a simple black and white; we’re seeing more of a ‘grey area’—a mixture of views and values, which is healthy. Coalitions, handled well, allow genuine balance, agreement, and sensible progress; it opens the door for decisions based on what’s best for people and for the planet, not just for the few who hold most of the wealth.

This shift means there’s increasing grassroots movement, protest, and people raising their voices—a trend I expect will only grow. Let’s legislate and pray that this will remain peaceful, and not be hijacked by those seeking violence and disorder. We’ve seen peaceful reforms before: Northern Ireland, for instance, moved from violence to the Good Friday Agreement, as people persisted, prayed, and worked for peace and unity. In South Africa, Mandela chose reconciliation over revenge, helping end apartheid, even if there are still challenges today. Major change is possible when people persevere for the good.

The fall of the Berlin Wall and the break-up of the Soviet Union were once unimaginable too, yet significant pressure from people within those countries brought about change. Even if new problems arise, the point is that change can happen—and we should be active participants, seeking wisdom, praying, and legislating for peaceful, transitional change.

Don’t just sit back and hope for change—let’s call it into being. Come together, enlightened, in unity, focusing on God’s heart and on the main thing: bringing about peace on earth and establishing God’s kingdom. The restoration of all things is what is needed—even those who have gone to the ‘dark side’ can be restored (as even in stories like Star Wars, Darth Vader’s true identity was rediscovered and restored). In the same way, fallen beings were not always lost; they were deceived down the wrong path, but there is no reason why they cannot be restored to their true identity.

Let’s be proactive—working and praying for restoration, for unity, and for peace on earth. The more we do, the more people will be restored to work for good rather than being used by forces seeking destruction. Ultimately, that Luciferian agenda will not prevail—we must ensure it doesn’t.

471. Unlocking Your Potential: Outworking Your True Self

We already know enough

We only need to focus on doing what we are meant to do, which is to live out who we truly are in our identity. We already know enough to begin legislating for peace, facilitating transition, bringing love, spreading enlightenment, and helping people rediscover the true nature of God. We are part of this ongoing process—the progressive unveiling of truth—and we are called to be a light to the world.

While we may not be operating in the councils of heaven or involved in various galactic affairs, we can still play our part. We can simply be who we were always meant to be, and through that, bring about change. This doesn’t require us to know everything—indeed, trying to know all things would be impossible! We just need to focus on our own part.

We don’t need superstars

If our role is to help others, then it might involve providing discernment to guide them in understanding where they are and how they can find their own path. That is the key: we don’t need superstars or fame-seekers. We want people who are content being unknown—those who are not motivated by fortune or ego but who quietly work behind the scenes, doing their part faithfully.

Of course, there will be visible faces who inspire others, but the majority of the work is done by those unseen. There are those who have been around for hundreds of years—whether in caves, like the desert fathers, or elsewhere—continuing their work. As more people become enlightened in this way, they don’t die and have to start over after 70 or 80 years; instead, they continue their work steadfastly. Right now, there are individuals who are hundreds of years old, yet no one knows where they are or what they are doing, because they are not there to be known—they are there to function as a steady voice and consistent expression of God’s kingdom in love. That is how God usually operates.

When Elijah lamented that he was the only faithful one left, God told him, “You’re not alone—there are 4,000 others still faithful.” God is always at work, and if we cooperate with Him and live out our true identity, we will be part of this movement to bring about change and establish God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

469. Developing Your Spirit | Its Function in Relation to the Soul

Mike Parsons

If you do not see the video above, you can find it here.

The spirit needs to be developed—and we need to understand how it operates. The functions of the spirit are often experienced through gateways such as reverence, the fear of the Lord, worship, and so on. There are several gateways, all designed to work in harmony with the soul and body, rather than independently. However, because the spirit and soul have become somewhat disconnected, we haven’t learned to function as a unified whole.

When some people discover spirituality and develop their relationship with God, their spirit begins to function, but since we haven’t generally been taught how to operate in this way, generally we need to learn how. I found it helpful to engage with the different gateways of the spirit by walking through them with Jesus and asking Him to show me how they work and what capabilities my spirit possesses. We refer to them as gateways because they serve as entry points, but in reality, they represent spiritual abilities or function of the spirit that need to be activated.

These abilities are activated as the Holy Spirit flows through us, and when our spirit is joined with the Holy Spirit. However, because we haven’t been used to living this way, we need to intentionally build up our spirit. Some people seem to operate in this instinctively, but most do not, so it becomes a learning journey. The more we focus on developing our spirit, the stronger our spiritual abilities become; we learn to sense and feel through the spirit—not merely through the physical senses or emotions. As our spirit becomes more active, it expands, grows, and increases in its ability to function, and as we become more whole, the spirit, soul and body work together seamlessly.

Separating and reintegrating soul and spirit

There is often a process required, where the spirit and soul need separating and reintegrating. Typically, the soul draws life from the spirit but has not been truly subject to it. Without the spirit, we wouldn’t be alive. Before discovering our identity in Christ, we often live as though we do not even have a spirit—the soul predominates, learning from everything outside ourselves. The soul is shaped by experiences and operates independently of the spirit and of God. However, when we become Christians, our spirit and soul are reconnected, and that’s when a ‘wrestling’ tends to begin, as the soul is used to being in control—protecting and providing for itself through various coping and defence mechanisms.

Suddenly, when the spirit enters the scene, the soul resists surrendering control, usually out of fear. As the spirit grows, this struggle continues, but the sooner we surrender, relinquish control and allow the spirit to lead, the better. With our spirit joined to the Holy Spirit, our lives can be directed far better than by the soul alone. Once Jesus separates and reintegrates the soul and spirit, the spirit connects to the soul from the inside out, allowing everything to flow outwardly from that unity. We then discern what is happening in the world around us first through our spiritual senses, rather than through physical senses or emotions. We’re no longer operating from memory, but from spiritual instinct—enabling us to know, feel, and sense what’s happening.

It is important to go through this process and surrender the soul’s control, so that spirit and soul can become integrated, functioning together to operate in a completely different manner.

466. Quantum Integration | Connecting Spirit and Soul for Transformation

Mike Parsons

Separation and reintegration

Once I had gone through that process and reintegrated, I became whole—spirit, soul, and body—in a genuine sense of completeness. My soul no longer felt the need to validate itself or dictate the terms of my actions. Suddenly, my soul and spirit were functioning in different realms but remained connected. This reintegration of spirit and soul brought a quantum entangled perspective, enabling me to be anywhere, as it were, and allowing my spirit to function in that realm.

Previously, I was tied to my soul; I would journey into heaven and then come back out, rather than having my spirit truly dwelling there, seated with Christ in heavenly places. Although my spirit was seated with Christ, I couldn’t fully understand or consciously realise the connection, as my soul kept pulling me out. As a result, I would have amazing heavenly experiences but would always return, rather than remaining in that place. God intended for me to dwell there consciously, uniting my spiritual and physical consciousness—linking my mind and spirit.

The bridal chamber

When that happened, everything came together. Things changed quite dramatically, and a whole range of new experiences opened up, eventually taking me into union in the bridal chamber. Now, this union is not sexual, but it is just as profound as sexual union, as described in 1 Corinthians 6:17. In the previous verse, it refers to whoever is joined to a prostitute becoming one flesh with her, illustrating the depth of true union.

I truly didn’t know what to expect. I felt invited to come to this place to meet the person of God—that was the union I experienced. After undergoing the process of separation and reintegration of spirit, I entered into the person of God and engaged with Him face to face. The encounter was overwhelming—far too much for me to handle. My limited beliefs and my mind simply could not cope with the magnitude of the experience, so I withdrew very quickly. But in that brief moment, I saw God and encountered something far too wonderful for me to explain or even process with my understanding of who God was.

Cognitive dissonance

This encounter created cognitive dissonance and prepared me to re-experience the true God, because the religious concept of God I had did not align with what I felt in that moment. It was simply too wonderful for the God I had believed in. I had to go through the process of really coming to know and dwell with Him. This began back in 2012, and over the years, I underwent a time of deconstruction—discovering who God truly is.

My relationship with God deepened, revealing the true God behind the false one I had previously imagined—the one who needed me to serve, be obedient, and fulfil duties out of obligation. All of that fell away as God challenged those beliefs. The ‘old covenant’ concepts I still held were also challenged. Throughout all of this, I continued to have encounters which led me to new places. For example, I passed through a series of firestone experiences—nine encounters in total—which took me into different levels of identity as a son of God.

There were many strands of experience, all drawing me towards union. Looking back, I realise how much work it took to get me to this place. I was so far removed from it, but I persisted in the journey, not knowing how each strand or encounter fitted together. All the experiences had a purpose, even if I couldn’t see how at the time—there was indeed a goal at the end.
