375. Discover the Secrets of the Merkabah

Mike Parsons – 

What is the Merkabah?

I want to share some insights into our core or innermost being, known as the Merkabah, and delve deeper into its significance. The Merkabah serves as a focal point for the “rivers of living water”—the flow of abundant, immortal life and spiritual energy distributed within us. It grants us access to limitless grace and living light energy. But what is the Merkabah, and how can we activate and use it practically?

You may encounter many interpretations of the Merkabah online, some of which might seem weird or mystical. If you decide to research further, please use discernment, as there is a lot of misleading information about it. You’ll likely come across mystical and New Age concepts that use similar terminology but may obscure the truth with layers of deception. The words may sound the same, but the truth can be hidden, which is why spiritual discernment is essential.

I would not recommend delving into Jewish mystical texts like the Kabbalah for the truth. Jesus is the Truth, and we do not need to seek it in old religions that ceased with the destruction of the temple. You might find terms like “sacred geometry,” “Sephiroth,” or “Metatron’s Cube,” which may be confusing or even enticing. I encourage you to focus on God, Jesus the Truth, and the Holy Spirit as our guide on this journey of discovery.

Please do not just accept what I am saying. Take it back to the Father and get first-hand revelation (not information) so that you can embrace it for yourselves.

Merkabah, which you may sometimes see spelt “Merkabah” or “Merkaba,” is actually three words combined: “Mer,” meaning a light rotating within itself; “Ka,” which refers to the human spirit; and “Ba,” signifying the physical body or the reality that the spirit holds. In the Bible, “Merkabah” is translated as “chariot” and appears 44 times, often a vehicle of light or a chariot of divine power.

In Ezekiel, for instance, the throne of God is described as the Merkabah, represented by a four-wheel chariot driven by four living creatures, the Chayoth,—each having four wings and four faces (man, lion, ox and eagle). These figures symbolise aspects of our nature aligned with the order of Melchizedek, a topic for further exploration. In other texts like Jeremiah and Isaiah, Merkabah is associated with chariots in a whirlwind, underscoring its connection to divine movement and power.

In Ezekiel, three angelic types are linked to the Merkabah: the Chayoth (living creatures), the Ophanim (wheels within wheels), and the Seraphim (burning ones). These beings often connect to humanity’s cherubic nature, carrying God’s image through the four faces of the order of Melchizedek: Lion, Ox, Eagle and Man; or King, Prophet/Oracle, Legislator and Priest. In 1 Chronicles 28, the instructions given to build the temple link the chariot (merkabah) with the Cherubim and the Ark of the Covenant.

The Merkabah is described as a spirit body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, the “wheels within wheels,” spirals of energy that allow the spirit body to transcend dimensions: the “chariot of ascension”. In ancient Egyptian thought it was rotating light that would transport the spirit and body from one realm to another. It is often represented by two interconnected tetrahedrons of light, forming a “stellar octangular” or a star tetrahedron—a symmetrical geometric shape where one tetrahedron points upwards and the other downwards. Other sacred geometrical shapes are contained within it, such as the seed of life and Metatron’s cube. It represents heaven and earth, connected through our spiritual and physical positions.

However, our focus is not on its appearance but on how it functions and how we can engage with it practically in our lives. The Merkabah connects to our energy field and operates as a transducer of zero-point energy—a limitless source of life-giving energy, essential for health and wholeness. This energy field can fluctuate between low frequencies, which might bring imbalance or illness, and higher frequencies that foster abundant life and unity. The Merkabah is woven into our genetic code, our eternal identity, and the merging of the eternal with the physical. It reveals the true essence of who we are in God and in union of spirit, soul and body.

According to Ecclesiastes, eternity has been set in our hearts, and I believe this eternity is the Merkabah, where time and eternity converge within us. Here, our innermost being resonates with our original identity in God. Our existence is designed to be at rest, balanced in love, joy, and peace—a harmonious state that releases the energy of immortality. This requires integration of spirit, soul and body, a unity that releases abundant life and limitless energy. Immortality is challenging when we’re fragmented or divided; it requires transformation, a surrender of the soul to let divine energy flow from within.

The Merkabah is composed of intertwining layers of living light, quantum or “zero-point” energy, creating a tight matrix at our core that, when activated, begins to spin and grow. This spinning light appears spherical and acts as a conduit, interfacing with the unified quantum field around us. It allows us to connect with everything, as it ties into the divine fabric, the ether, in which all creation is held together.

The Merkabah acts as a conduit for zero-point energy, drawing limitless energy into the body. As the sons of God, we may soon understand how to tap into this energy source, enabling us to function independently of earthly power grids. Imagine the potential—one sugar cube of zero-point energy could power 400 billion galaxies!

Uses of the Merkabah

Safety
One of the Merkabah’s purposes is safety, or protection. The Merkabah is an energy field—a generator, really. Now, I know this may sound like science fiction, but it’s actually something that science is beginning to uncover. This energy generates a protective field around us that shields us from all sorts of harmful forces—whether entities, physical attacks, or even negative electromagnetic fields. All those things that can impact us physically, the Merkabah can help shield us from by creating a protective barrier from within.

Travel
Another powerful use of the Merkabah is travel. The Merkabah can transport us—body, soul and spirit—from one place to another. This means it can enable translation, transrelocation, and even trans-dimensional movement, all powered by the energy within.

Healing and Regeneration
The Merkabah is also instrumental in healing and regeneration. It can help rejuvenate our soul and physical body by generating abundant life energy within. This energy works with our subtle energy fields, interacting with the natural flows within us. Many years ago, concepts like energy meridians might have been dismissed as quack medicine, but they are now being recognised scientifically. More and more, people are using these insights to generate healing frequencies that support wholeness. As we connect with the unified field, this energy flows in, raising our frequency and helping us live in the fullness of life, health and even immortality.

This healing energy from the Merkabah is not just about extending life—it is about living with abundance and vitality. We don’t just want to ‘not die’; we want to thrive and be who we are meant to be in relationship with God. And this energy flows through frequencies of intention—love, joy, and peace—bringing us into rest and helping us access the life force of God within. In my own meditations around rest, I have learned to draw on this flow of love, joy and peace. I have experienced that deep stillness, learning how this energy flows and works within, and have trained my senses, as described in John 4 and John 7, where rivers of living water can flow from our being, energising our core and distributing life through the seven gates, or chakras.

The Seven Energy Gates (Chakras)
These energy gates are also known as seals or chakras. ‘Chakra’ is just a Sanskrit term meaning “disc of energy.” There are seven primary gates: the crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and root. Each has its own function:

– Crown: Connects us to the heavenly realm
– Heart: Grounds us in the realm we live in
– Root: Links us to the rest of creation

These three are foundational; the other chakras come into play when we function in insight, communication, creativity, or feeling. All seven gates work together to generate the energy we need to fulfil our calling and purpose on a daily basis.

The Merkabah can be activated and developed through intentional practice, meditation, and by focusing our consciousness. From a place of rest, energy flows more powerfully, energising spirit, soul and body, creating an energy field around us. This is like the story of the temple described in Ezekiel, from which living water flows outward, becoming ankle-deep, knee-deep, waist-deep and so on, bringing life wherever it goes.

The Merkabah can be developed or enhanced by drawing energy down from heaven to earth through our body as a gateway; through our first love gate, through the very presence of Father, Son and Spirit in us. Conscious intentional grounding allows flowing of spiritual energy from
the River of Life into and through the body, and it is both cleansing and
energising. it is a flow of Living Water which is designed to bring about the
abundance that God intends us to live in.

Signalling and Communication
The Merkabah also connects us to the grace of God and the living light within everything, enabling us to communicate with others, angelic beings, and all of creation, even across dimensions. Using the principle of quantum entanglement, our spirit can reach anywhere within the universe, instantly connecting us to that reality. This allows us to connect with and engage across realms in a way that transcends both distance and time.

Sensitivity 
Through practice, using the Merkabah increases our sensitivity to physical and spiritual sensations. We learn to tune into energy fields, sensing the atmospheres in different spaces. Hebrews 5:14 talks about training our senses to discern between good and evil, which is achievable through intentional practice.

Joy
Joy, too, is associated with the Merkabah; as Jesus said, His joy is within us so our joy may be complete. When we are filled with energy and health, we are naturally more joyful and grateful, and that overflows as positive, life-giving energy toward others and creation.

Abilities 
With the Merkabah, we also have the potential to unlock spiritual abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, pre- and post-cognition, and enhanced creativity. These gifts, aligned with our identity in God, are part of how we were originally created.

Broadcasting
The Merkabah lets us broadcast energy—reaching others, in this and other realms and even in other dimensions. Through focused, intentional energy, we connect and make these connections with people, realms and more.  I have done this many times; to begin with I did not know how to do it, other than just do it! But then God then showed me that this is what the energy in me enabled me to do; when I released it from my innermost being, it was energised within the Merkabah and connected me to other realms, dimensions, and particularly to people I was trying to reach and connect with in this realm.

The frequency of our sonship is broadcast through the Merkabah within us, which contains multiple portals designed to connect with various dimensions of heaven and other dimensional realities. These dimensions are tuning into our frequency, seeking connection and help. Our responsibility is to ensure we broadcast love, joy, peace and rest, intentionally focusing positive energy across these portals. This is how I engage effortlessly—by choosing to connect through my innermost being, not my mind, but through a union of thought and being, aligned with the Father’s heart and intentions as He reveals them to me.

Convergence and Coherence
The Merkabah serves as a hub that connects us to God’s heart and our heavenly identity and position of government in Christ, bringing heaven to earth. We are intended to be a point of convergence between time and eternity, heaven and earth. When we are in this state, there is a coherence—a rhythm of the heart, mind and spirit working in unity. We are designed to operate in harmony, without discord, which is when our spirit, soul and body are truly in union and oneness. This is the ideal state for living in health, wholeness, and even immortality.

Non-linear, multidimensional lifestyle

When the heart, mind and emotions align, we find ourselves in harmony with God, with each other and with creation. Everything was made to be in union, to be one.  As we grow into our identity as sons of God, we mature into a non-linear, multidimensional way of life, much like Adam would have if he had continued along the path of the Tree of Life toward an ascended state. Through this journey, we discover how to reconnect to the Eternal Now—outside the realms of time and space. Unconditional love will gradually transform us, transfiguring our bodies and renewing our minds into a fully expanded state of consciousness. This is not just knowledge; it is a deep awareness of who we truly are. We will live in complete knowledge of our identity as sons of God, rooted in rest—a state of being rather than doing. Everything flows naturally from this place of rest. We no longer need to “do” to find our identity.

We can start by visualising the Gateway of First Love opening within us, connecting with the life energy of love, joy and peace as a river of living water. This living water flows in us, fills us, and then flows through us, allowing a stream of spiritual energy to circulate within and around us. By consciously surrendering to this flow, instead of resisting or trying to control it, we we consciously choose to be in harmony—spirit, soul and body united and whole. When we are in sync, we can intentionally activate our energy gates, visualising the “wheels within wheels” spinning and generating a powerful flow of life force energy. This flow energises the Merkabah, creating a kind of hydroelectric turbine effect that powers our abilities, enabling us to operate at our full potential, beyond the limitations we have been used to.

At this level, we become co-creators with God. We are not just observers but participants in the creative process, able to engage frequencies of light, sound and intention to manifest our choices and bring new realities into being. For example, the first time I created something, it was at the Father’s prompting. Without fully understanding how, I trusted His guidance and released a creative energy from within my innermost being, which took form as a galaxy. Over time, I learned to do this intentionally, responding to the Father’s call by focusing my energy and intention. In another instance, I released a blue light, calling people to arise in their sonship. Now, I understand how this energy flows from within me, and I have repeated it numerous times.

On one more recent occasion, I was asked by Guardians in a heavenly courtroom to create more Guardians, as they were needed. At first, I hesitated and checked it out with the Father, as He had not asked me directly. He reassured me, reminding me that I knew how to release creative energy, just as I had done before. So, aligning my intention with the Father’s heart, I created the Guardians and assigned them to the Council, who then placed them to dimensional portals in constellations across the cosmos. I shared this experience with others; some asked, “Can we do that?”—and they did. They approached it with their own (perhaps more creative) style, coming up with descriptions of what the Guardians looked like, their colours, and all the details. For me, it was more about just releasing that creative energy from within. All of us can do that. We each have the Father, Son and Spirit’s creative force within us; we just need to focus it with intention and a willing “yes.”

When we pray for someone or lay hands on them for healing, the energy we draw on is the life of God flowing through us. It is not from us independently; it is the river of life within, redirected to a specific need—someone’s DNA, heart or body. Sometimes healing happens even when we are not fully aware of what we are doing, but as we grow in understanding, we become more intentional, seeking alignment with the Father’s heart. Jesus did only what He saw the Father doing, and this is how we are called to operate as well: in love, rest, humility, and from the Father’s heart. This way, we avoid drawing attention to ourselves or taking any glory. Living this way, we become vessels of God’s love and creative energy, bringing freedom, restoration and healing.

This may all sound rather technical, and it can be complex, but for me it’s simply the life I live. I have practised and developed these ways of operating until they have become second nature. Now, I no longer have to think about activating gateways or focusing on specific aspects of my identity. Instead, I am constantly connected with the Father’s heart and receiving whatever knowledge I need from Him. As I walk in my identity as a son, all I require to fulfil my purpose flows to me naturally.

For the most part, this means I just enjoy everyday life. I live each day in love, joy and peace. I live loved, I love living and I live loving. Admittedly, it’s not always easy, and there are people we are called to love who may not “deserve” it (by our standards). But if Jesus could forgive those who hurt Him, then we too can extend unconditional love. By embodying this love, we become a channel for living energy in the world, bringing life wherever we go and contributing to the restoration of all things.

Our destiny as sons of God is to release this love and creative power in everyday life, transforming and renewing the world around us simply by being who we are. When we allow God’s life and energy to flow through us, we create a field of love that touches and changes lives. Just by ‘being’, we can bring about transformation and let the reality of God’s love impact everyone we encounter.

Activation: Energise the Merkabah

Close your eyes.
Start breathing slowly.
breathe in slowly;
hold it,
and breathe out slowly,
breathing in
the very breath of God,
the life of God,
focusing your thinking on God who is love.

And as you’re breathing in,
let love flow, flow and flow into you,
flow around you, flow into you,
and let it rest upon you so you can be still.

Let God love you,
And feel and sense
the unconditional nature of that love,
where you can be still and know that He is love.

You can be still and know that He is love.
Be still and know that He is joy.
Be still and know that He is peace.
Be still and know that He is truth,
and light, and life,
and limitless grace and triumphant mercy.

It may take a little bit of time sometimes
to slow down your thinking and focus on love.
Come to that place of love.

[And as you’re doing that,
I’m just going to release some sounds,
and these frequencies.
I want to encourage you
to let the frequency and sound
of the intention of love
touch your physical,
emotional,
and spiritual being.
Let this sound go around you,
and in you and through you
generating energy, frequency.]

Jesus is knocking on that door within your first love gate,
you can picture that door, picture Him knocking.
Beyond that door is a well;
choose to open the door
and drink from the well, from the fountain.
It’s living water.
It’s flowing as a frequency and an energy of life.
And as it begins to flow,
flow with it as it forms a river.

Choose to flow with it
as these waves of energy,
begin to flow within your innermost being;
that river flowing through the gateways of your spirit,
flowing through your soul,
just beginning to converge in the core of your being,
the Merkabah
which begins to energise –
energy forming, spinning, increasing.
Flowing from you,
as rivers of living water
energising each gate.

Energising your crown,
your ability to connect to heaven.
Energising your spiritual insight,
knowing truth and revelation;
Energising what you think and what you say,
when you speak,
speaking with the energy
of the voice of God as an oracle,
Energising your heart,
feeling and releasing love,
unconditional love.

Each of those seven gates,
the creativity, feelings
deep within your innermost being,
the gut instincts, the knowing,
energised, connecting you to creation, the root
grounded with that unified quantum field.

You are connected,
you can become spaghettified,
every atom of your being can be connected to creation.
Feel and sense creation.
Feel and sense your sonship touching creation – broadcasting, communicating, beyond yourself,
through those portals within your innermost being.

You may want to travel along that portal,
you may want to send a message,
an intention of love to someone in particular.
Focus that intention of love
and let it travel through that entanglement you have
with someone that you carry in your heart,
to touch them with love.
Limitless energy
generated from your innermost being,
flowing around you,
creating an energy field –
a field of light,
a field of love.

You can choose to stay in that place.
If you’re engaged, just feel free to stay there.

This is not something that is just a one-off, but something that we need to develop. We need to practise day after day,
practise generating flow; so that we can learn to become sensitive, and learn to focus these things in our lives, and through our lives to others and out into creation itself.

 

374. Aligning with God’s Heart in Co-creating

Mike Parsons

Aligning with God’s Heart and Purpose

When it comes to framing or co-creating, the key is aligning yourself with God’s heart and purpose. This is not something you can do by your own strength or for your own ends; it must be rooted in God’s intentions. Intimacy with the Father is essential. Understanding the Father’s heart—whether through personal direction or what you might call a ‘heart-to-heart’ infusion—enables you to align yourself with His will. Once you know you are in sync with God’s heart, you can then begin to frame your life accordingly.

Framing your life involves nurturing or ‘brooding’ over what you want to bring into existence. Just as a hen sits on her eggs until they hatch, you must incubate your intentions. If you are double-minded, it will not work. You are effectively creating a reality where light and the enabling power of God respond to your expectations, collapsing a wave function to bring that reality into being. It is crucial that you observe and speak as though this reality has already occurred. As God calls things into existence, so too must you align your words and authority with His, speaking with conviction and faith.

Brooding

The process of framing often starts with God’s promises. If you are seeking first the Kingdom, you can confidently expect those promises to be fulfilled. This means framing your life around expectation, calling forth God’s protection, provision, and direction for each day. You are not merely wishing for things; you are living from the expectation that you will have everything you need, with an abundance for every good work.

This framing process creates an atmosphere around your life that draws in the reality of God’s promises. However, it cannot be done out of anxiety, fear, or worry. You must be in a state of rest, characterised by contentment, peace, and joy, with an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude. Even before you receive what you are calling into existence, you must live as if it is already yours. Gratitude and thanksgiving are vital components of this process because they reinforce your faith that what you are framing is already a reality.

Speaking with Authority

When co-creating, whether calling forth new realities or framing promises around your life, you need clarity. You cannot randomly decide to create something—like calling 15 angels into being—without knowing that you have permission to do so. As a son of God, once you know you have that permission, you can call things into existence that did not previously exist. For example, I have created guardians after receiving permission from the Father, brooding over the intention until I knew it was aligned with God’s heart. Once I had that assurance, I spoke with the voice of God and the guardians manifested. There was no doubt or double-mindedness, just a clear understanding that I was acting with God’s authority.

Intimacy and Rest

Framing your life around God’s promises begins with intimacy and rest. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, and we are called to operate in the same way. This is not about manipulation or control; it is about aligning your life with God’s purposes and seeking to bless others. You cannot use this process to manipulate people or situations to your advantage. Instead, you can call forth opportunities to bless others or to meet people you can help. It is a process rooted in love, aimed at bringing out the best for yourself and others.

Expect that there will be a process involved. Jesus said that when you pray, believe you have received, and you will receive. This means living in an attitude of thanksgiving, gratitude, and contentment, trusting that what you are framing will manifest in time. Some things may happen instantly, while others may take longer. It is important to avoid negative thoughts or speech that could undermine what you are working towards. Stay positive, remain at rest, and keep your focus on your intimacy with the Father.

Ultimately, you can frame your life according to your destiny and identity as a son of God. This involves calling forth the wisdom, insight, resources, and everything else you need to fulfil your God-given purpose. By framing your life in this way, you can live with the expectation that everything necessary for your journey will be available to you.

373. Salvation is NOT ‘Going to Heaven When You Die’

Mike Parsons

Wholeness Now

Salvation is not about “going to heaven after death.” Surprisingly, the words “saved” and “heaven” never appear together in the Bible. Salvation means restoration to wholeness in the present, not something that happens after death. The idea of being “promoted to heaven” or “crossing the Jordan” is part of a religious system that has promoted a mistaken tradition.

Salvation is about experiencing wholeness here and now, bringing us into the true identity of who we are. If you have been indoctrinated to think that your salvation depends on your efforts in any way, you will remain stuck in trying to secure it. This was my experience, coming from an evangelical background, where salvation seemed to depend on my ability to trust God, my faith, or what I did in asking God into my life.

Rather than realising what had already been accomplished, I viewed salvation as an ongoing effort—trying to be good enough and acceptable to God through practices like reading the Bible, praying every day, witnessing, and fulfilling the perceived requirements of being a “good Christian.” But who said we were supposed to do those things? Jesus did not—the church did. Deconstruction is the process of removing that indoctrination and replacing it with truth, renewing and transforming our minds.

All of humanity is included

Even if someone does not believe they are saved, they still are; they just do not believe it yet. This is the truth: all of humanity is included in what the Father already accomplished through Jesus to forgive, redeem, and reconcile us to himself. The work is finished, and everyone has been declared righteous, justified, and forgiven. Whether or not someone believes this truth, it remains the truth.

The New Covenant was made between the Father and the Son and included all of humanity. Teaching that we must make a free will decision to be included is ‘a church-invented heresy’, as Don Keithley says. “Our free will decision is simply to accept what has already happened, to realise that we are already included—not to make it happen. If Jesus included the doubter, Thomas, the denier, Peter, and the traitor, Judas, I seriously doubt anyone is excluded from his work today.”

No one is excluded from what Jesus came to do and to finish. He came to take away the sin—the lost identity—of the world, not just a few people but the whole world, and every person in it. What we believe about God does not define him, and our doctrines do not even define us, though they often label us. Many of us have been labelled by what we believe, whether Baptist, Charismatic, Pentecostal, Anglican, or any other denomination. But God knows the truth about us, and what he knows, demonstrated in Christ, is what defines us.

Equal Value

Jesus is what God believes about us. The love God has for his Son, Jesus, is the same love He has for us. When we are reconciled to God, it is important to understand that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. The term ‘world’ here is the Greek word kosmos, and ‘reconciliation’ in this sense is an accounting term. The debit and credit must balance.

The value we hold for God is the same value God holds for Jesus. This is a profound truth: we are of equal value to God as Jesus. Understanding this is key to grasping the fullness of our identity and value in the eyes of God.

The truth that sets us free

Adam’s choice to walk independently of God did not change the nature of God the Father. God still desires a relationship with us, just as he did with Adam. The Father still longs to walk with us in the garden, to restore that relationship. We need to see that this relationship can be restored, and this realisation is an essential part of our journey.

Deconstruction takes different forms. Some people reject the conditional love taught by religion and walk away from organised faith, while others discover unconditional love outside of religion. God is love, and this is a fundamental truth. However, God does not deconstruct us by focusing on the lies we believe, but by revealing the truth that sets us free. This process renews our minds to the truth, and in doing so, those false beliefs naturally fall away.

The truth we know through experience will set us free. So let us focus on positive solutions, not negative problems. Do not try to deconstruct your beliefs with the same thinking that created them. Instead, allow God to encounter you in such a way that it changes what you believe, leading to a transformation based on truth, not on doctrine.

The ‘Second Coming’

Many Christians are still waiting for the second coming of Jesus. However, as I have discussed before, the ‘second coming’ already happened, in AD 70. This means that many are looking for the wrong event. Creation does not recognise Christians waiting to be rescued; it recognises sons and daughters who are living out the truth. Religion has deeply ingrained in us a fear of the future—the fear of tribulation, of the rapture, of trouble to come.

But we do not not need to fear the future. The Spirit of Truth was given so that we, as sons and daughters, might shape the future. Fear never comes from God, and perfect love casts out fear. Therefore, let’s ensure we are not operating out of fear, worrying about what might happen tomorrow, but instead live in the blessing and provision of today. There is no ‘Great Tribulation’ on the horizon. There may be personal tribulations, but God will be with us through them. The biblical ‘Great Tribulation’ was the end of the old age, the age of the old covenant, and it has already passed.

372. Unity, Union and Oneness

Mike Parsons

Levels of Understanding: From Unity to Oneness

There are various levels of understanding and experience that take us deeper into what it means to be in unity, union, and ultimately, oneness with God. In earlier teachings, unity was often understood in terms of shared beliefs. If people agreed on doctrines or beliefs, they were considered to be in unity. However, this kind of unity was superficial because it excluded others who did not share the same beliefs. In reality, true unity has little to do with agreement on beliefs.

Unity Based on Beliefs vs. True Union

Union, on the other hand, is about a deeper relational connection. It’s similar to the union between husband and wife, where two people come together in an intimate relationship that goes beyond mere agreement. Union is more about connection and relational closeness than about aligning beliefs. It involves a joining together at a deeper level, reflecting a more intimate connection than unity of the mind or beliefs alone.

However, there is an even deeper level: **oneness**. When we enter oneness, there is no separation between us and God. This doesn’t mean we become God, but we become one with Him in spirit. In this state of oneness, we have access to His heart, His mind, and there is a profound connection that transcends separation. While we remain distinct, oneness allows us to experience God’s presence and intimacy in a way that feels inseparable.

Union and Oneness: A Personal Journey

My personal journey involved discovering what it means to be in oneness with God. It was not just a theological understanding but an experiential one. The feeling of oneness was different from the experience of union, where intimacy was deep, but there was still a sense of individuality. In oneness, I felt an abiding presence in God that made it impossible to feel separate from Him. It became clear that this relationship was not about doing or achieving, but about realizing and experiencing what was always true—that I am made in His image and likeness, and that this reality transcends any works or protocols.

We are all on a journey to discover who we truly are as sons and daughters of God. Being made in His image and likeness means more than we often understand. It means that our very essence reflects His original intention for us. As we go deeper into this relationship, our DNA is transformed, and we are restored to God’s original purpose.

Experiencing Truth Beyond Protocols

In the past, much of the spiritual journey was about protocols—if you do this or that, you would get closer to God. There were steps to follow: salvation, baptism, receiving the Spirit, and so on, which often felt like climbing a ladder. However, the deeper understanding is that we don’t need to earn or work for these experiences. The truth has always been there; we just need to have it revealed to us. Once it is unveiled, we come into agreement with it, realizing that God has always seen us this way.

Evangelical Christianity has often taught that God’s view of humanity changed after the Fall, but in reality, **God never changed His view of us**—we changed our view of ourselves. His thoughts towards us have always been rooted in love and truth, and He is revealing this so we can see ourselves as He does.

Agreeing with God’s Reality

This process of revelation is about agreeing with God’s perspective. It’s not about reconciling our limited human thinking with God’s, but about transforming our thinking to align with His. This transformation is key to entering into the reality of who we truly are. It’s not about doing works or following steps to ascend spiritually. Instead, it’s about embracing the truth that has always been there and allowing it to transform us.

Ultimately, this journey is about living in a relational reality with God that unveils the depth of who we are. It’s not about striving or achieving through works but about receiving the revelation of our identity in God and living in agreement with that truth.

371. Mindset of Immortality

Mike Parsons

Physical age

Your age does not have to dictate a decline in energy or health. In fact, I have more energy now than I did in my twenties. I can manage my energy because I generate what I need to do whatever I need to accomplish. This highlights that physical age is not the same as how one feels or lives. For instance, I am 66 years old, but how I feel and how I live are what truly matter. While it is true that everyone gets older with each passing day, this does not necessarily lead to decline, either in health or vitality. Ageing does not have to bring deterioration to the cells, as my own cells are functioning perfectly well.

From this perspective, it is about mindset rather than appearance. There are people—like desert fathers or ancient ones—who, while they may not look young, possess the ability to choose how they experience life. For example, a friend of mine encountered someone ancient in spirit, and at different times, this person appeared both young and old. When asked how this was possible, the person replied that they could choose how they appeared.

Sometimes, people associate wisdom with age or appearance, while others see youth as a purely physical attribute. However, it is actually the mindset by which one lives that determines the true measure of vitality, not how one looks. This ancient person explained that they could appear a certain age to some, and another age to others, depending on what they wished to convey. I believe that when we embrace the mindset of immortality, we are no longer controlled by age; instead, we rule over it. Immortality becomes an expression of our state of being and consciousness, rather than just physical appearance.

For example, Jesus appeared differently to different people after His resurrection. When He appeared to Mary, she did not recognise Him as Jesus and mistook Him for a gardener. Some may say that she was crying and thus could not see clearly, but that is not the case. Similarly, on the road to Emmaus, Jesus walked with disciples who knew Him, yet they did not recognise Him either. His appearance must have changed, only revealing Himself to them later in a form they could recognise. When He appeared to Thomas, He allowed him to see His wounds as proof of who He was. I do not think He carried those wounds everywhere, but He revealed them specifically so Thomas could see and believe.

I firmly believe that, as we live more fully in this reality of sonship, we will be able to choose our appearance. Personally, I do not worry about how I look, as I know how I feel and how I live. I do not need to look twenty; that would be quite odd for my family and those around me. While it would not bother me to look twenty, I am content with my 66-year-old appearance. More importantly, the cells in my body are not decaying, because ageing is not synonymous with death.

Jesus aged from infancy to His thirties, and had He not given Himself up to death, He would have continued ageing without succumbing to natural causes. He chose death so He could take on our mortality and bring us life through His resurrection. Therefore, it is all about the mindset we choose to live in. I live in a mindset of immortality, where physical ageing is irrelevant.

I have no desire to be alive at a hundred if I am not fully healthy and able to fulfil my purpose. What is the point of living if one is not enjoying life, full of energy and vitality? This is why many people do not consider immortality; they do not want to continue living the kind of life they currently lead. But for me, I am fully at peace with my life and I enjoy it. I believe we will learn to live in this world without being subject to it, focusing on the quality of life rather than merely its duration.

Quality of life

The quality of life, not just the fact that it will not end, is what defines true immortality. You could live for 500 years, but if you are bedridden and immobile, the quality of life is lacking. Immortal life is more about the quality of existence than the simple fact of not dying. The key question is, what quality of life would you choose to have, and can you maintain it despite the pressures around us that encourage the acceptance of death?

From a young age, people are programmed to see ageing as leading inevitably to death, rather than to wisdom or maturity in sonship—the state of living as a fully realised child of God. This mindset must shift to one of immortality, where age is irrelevant and eternal life is defined by the abilities and opportunities it offers. These abilities include the capacity to dwell in both spiritual and physical realms, travel by thought, and exist in multiple dimensions. Immortality is far more than the absence of death; it is about living life in its fullest, as God intended.

Many people have different views on immortality. Some might think it simply means not dying, but in reality, it requires preparation for a long and fulfilling life. How will you live if death is no longer a concern? Jesus promised abundant life, yet the enemy seeks to rob, kill, and destroy. The focus should not be on avoiding death but on embracing the abundance of life that Jesus promised.

Consider this: if you were to live for the next hundred years, would you continue working to earn a wage, or would you find a way to provide for yourself supernaturally? These are important questions because our current financial systems are not designed to last for centuries. Most pension schemes are built on the assumption that people will live for a few decades beyond retirement, not a hundred years. If your pension pot runs dry, what then? The financial systems of the world, which rely on electronic money with no real assets behind them, are fragile. When they collapse, we will need a new way of living—one that is not dependent on these systems.

God will give us insight into how to prepare for this future, so we can live free from the world’s control. Jesus, after His resurrection, was able to manifest food and ate with His disciples. There are even people today, known as breatharians, who believe they can survive on air alone. These are just some examples of how we might live differently if we embrace a mindset of immortality and prepare for the changes to come.

As systems collapse—financial, political, and otherwise—people will need to look for solutions beyond what the world currently offers. This could be a manifestation of God’s Kingdom on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Those who trust in today’s systems will find themselves needing to transition to something new, and we, too, must find a way to live in alignment with Heaven’s reality.

So, it is not enough to say, “I will not die.” The real question is, “How will I live?” Abundant life is our focus, not merely the avoidance of death. We should be asking ourselves what that abundant life looks like and preparing for it now, with a perspective that enables us to choose our reality. Many people are not yet thinking this way, but it is a mindset we can all embrace.

370. Abiding in God

Mike Parsons – 

In God’s Presence

That’s where you can abide and dwell, whether you do it consciously or whether you’re doing it unconsciously; it’s all the time. We are seated with him in heavenly places. It’s happening all the time; we just become more aware of it and benefit from it. But it’s happening all the time. You know, I used to want to know what was going on, what you wanted me to do, what my mandate was, and what I was supposed to be doing, all this stuff. I was still driven by an old covenant mindset of works, obedience, duty, and obligation.

I just relaxed as I realised how much I’m unconditionally loved. I relaxed and I just dwell in His presence, in the light of His face, in the heart-to-heart intimacy. I dwell there, so there’s this constant flow of truth, revelation, experience, intimacy—whatever all the different names for it are—that’s flowing all the time. Now, sometimes, yes, I consciously turn into that and I engage with it consciously because it’s great to be in that intimate place of being surrounded by love, light, and truth. It’s amazing, and it’s good to experience that cognitively at times, as long as we don’t make the cognitive experience our goal.

Know by experience

We have to know by cognitive experience; otherwise, we won’t believe. I do have cognitive experiences at times, but most of the dwelling and abiding in His presence is in the spirit, not in the soul or the flesh. It’s in the spirit. My spirit is constantly dwelling and abiding in God’s presence, and that wonderful place of abiding is what brings the peace, joy, and love into my life, flowing all the time. This reveals the Father’s heart. Going back to the first question, it was all about how do you have this wisdom to know what the Father’s heart is? It gets infused when you dwell and abide there. He constantly reveals His heart to you, and you just instinctively flow from His heart rather than what I used to do, which was to want to go and get my mandate for today.

Yes, God gave me that mandate because He’s gracious and merciful. I was still a child, if you like, and I still didn’t know Him that well, so I still wanted to know what He wanted me to do. Now I dwell in His presence and I live my life in a way that is filled with love, joy, and peace, being at rest, and working every day in every situation with that amazing love that He has. Therefore, in any situation, do I have to sort of go and do this SOS prayer to God, saying, “Oh God, help me! I need to know what I’m supposed to do here”? No, I instinctively know what to do, and the more intimate I am, the easier that flow is to just be. I just need to be me in a situation, whereas before I needed to know what to do.

At rest

Now I feel I’m at rest. Before, I thought I was at rest, but actually, I was still needing to do. Now I just need to be, and everything flows out of that being. Most of it is just me being me. I don’t need to have a whole list of things to do. When someone says, “Oh, will you pray for me?” I don’t say, “Oh God, do I have permission to pray for this person?” No, I just need to be me, and if I feel how to pray for that person or engage with them, then I just express that. I don’t need to think, “Oh, how should I pray? What should I do? Do I need to pray in tongues for five minutes to tune in?” All of that was like work, and part of it was that I didn’t want to get it wrong. I wanted to get it right.

Now I just need to be instinctively me in that situation, and I find that sometimes I say things or do things or hug someone, or whatever it might be, instinctively without having that need to know what I’m supposed to do. Because I know that if I’m being me, I’m going to be expressing the father’s heart—the me He made me to be, not the me that I might have been or what other people want me to be, but the me that He made me to be, which comes from the revelation of the Father’s heart that I’m experiencing in that intimacy of dwelling and abiding there.

Enjoy!

It is so much easier than I ever thought. All the other stuff that I used to do, and I am still doing it in the spirit in a multi-dimensional way, I’m still just expressing me in it. I don’t need that great list of instructions anymore; I just don’t need it. Life takes on such a joyful position because I enjoy being. I enjoy being alive. I enjoy being in the garden, I enjoy being in the workshop, I enjoy being.

369. Living in Abundance: The Wellbeing Economy

Mike Parsons – 

The government of God

Dominion is the rule of God or the government of God. It is a government of life. When Jesus said that the enemy wants to rob, kill, and destroy, but He has come to give us life in abundance, that’s what He meant. It wasn’t a case of just getting through by the skin of your teeth and hoping for the best. It was about abundance. He came to give us a whole, restored relationship and connection to creation. But we have to bring that government and peace because there is no end to the increase of God’s government and peace in the Kingdom of God. We have to seek first the Kingdom of God so that everything else is added to us. We can’t live selfishly or independently. We’ve got to live an interdependent life with God, dependent on His life, with rivers of living water flowing in our innermost being.

Well, what is that river doing? It’s bringing life wherever it goes. If you read Ezekiel, it talks about the temple and the water that went under the threshold of the temple, going ankle-deep, knee-deep, waist-deep, until it was flowing. What was its purpose? To bring life wherever it went. So, initially, that river flows in us because we are the temple of the River of Life. The Spirit is flowing in us, and it should bring life to us, energising, restoring, and making us whole. Then, as recipients of that, we are to flow that outward, creating an environment or atmosphere of it around us—fields of energy. Peter had an energy field around him, and it says his shadow healed somebody. Well, it wasn’t his shadow, as the shadow is just an absence of light. It was the energy within him that created the shadow. Was it the sun, or was it his own light? Who knows? They used the best words they could to describe what happened, but they weren’t scientists using scientific expressions to explain what really occurred when Peter walked past someone and they were healed. I believe he was producing an energy field that brought life.

Our capacity as sons of God

Now, we’re discovering wellness and technology that produces energy fields, life, and health, but I do ultimately believe it will be through the power of our own choosing of reality and consciousness. Our consciousness is expanding to fully embrace the capacity we have as sons of God, just as Adam did, using sound, light, and energy—things we are only now beginning to discover technologically. He had the power of his own mind and consciousness to choose, and creation responded to him as a son of God, to be fruitful, to multiply, to fill the earth, to overcome, and to rule, having that dominion. But you can’t do that by living independently and selfishly. Jesus came to model this, but He only did what He saw the Father doing. So, we need intimacy with the Father if we are to live that sort of life.

A lot of people just want to live forever, but they don’t necessarily want to live forever in the purposes of God. They just don’t want to die so they can carry on having a good time. Whereas I don’t want to die because I want to outwork the purposes of God. It’s a different motivation. If it’s going to be technology that extends life, guess who will get it first? The rich, the wealthy, those who can afford to pay millions or billions for it. But that’s not how God wants it to be. He shows no partiality. This technology, or these abilities when restored, are for everyone, not just a few. That’s why we must ensure that any discoveries related to health, agriculture, and energy are for everyone, not just some. These things need to come into the right hands and be administered correctly, not just treated as another discovery to be suppressed or kept for the few. God wants to bless every family on the earth, not just some, and certainly not just the rich ones.

Hidden from view

That’s why the administration of these discoveries, such as advances in energy, agriculture, and water, needs to be done properly. A lot of new advances are out there, coming from heaven, but they are being administered away from the usual people who control all this stuff—the financiers who essentially control the energy producers. There have been many free energy solutions out there for a while, but they’ve been suppressed because no one is going to make any money out of free energy. There’s no incentive for it. Boilers and cars that run on water have been possible for some time, but these technologies have been suppressed and could never get funding or come to market.

We need new energy sources not based on heavy metals, which are poisonous, but perhaps on gravity or other natural things that can produce energy. And there’s also the quantum field, producing zero-point energy from the quantum field, as it’s designed to re-energise the planet. We are being re-energised all the time, but we’re not focusing that into specific energy that can be used to power things or run things. So, a lot of interesting things are happening behind the scenes, much of it hidden from view, being prepared to be released at the right time to the right people in the right places.

Let’s be honest, if there were new advances in water technology, for instance, that meant water could function like a gel to irrigate crops, who should get that first? Third-world countries that have no irrigation, living in famine and drought. We don’t really need it in America or the UK, because we have plenty of water and irrigation. So let’s ensure that those who need it most get it first, because that is what God would want. But that’s not going to make money, is it? They can’t pay for it. We want these developments in the hands of those who won’t charge for it.

The well-being economy

So there’s a lot that needs to be in place in terms of the government of God, the rule of God, to facilitate the changes that need to happen to bring about heaven on earth; to bring about the well-being economy, where we focus more on people being happy than being rich. Finances shouldn’t be the measure of the world, but they’ve become the measure over the last couple of centuries—particularly in the last 2,000 years, and even worse over the last 400 or 500 years—where most of the world is controlled by very few people using their influence and money to control things. God wants everyone to be blessed, not just some.

368. No, Your Heart is “Not “Deceitfully Wicked”

Mike Parsons –

The heart is deceitful

We cannot know who God really is other than through unconditional love, and we cannot know our true identity other than through unconditional love, because it is revealed in that loving relationship with God himself. The verse I want to highlight here is Jeremiah 17:9. When you compare the NIV with the Septuagint, you see how God’s view of mankind has been twisted by the incorrect translation of this verse.

In the NIV, it reads: “The heart is deceitful above all things.” That’s a powerful statement. “And beyond cure.” Well, that’s a pretty hopeless statement: “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” Now, that statement has had a major effect on how people view themselves and others, putting them in a position where the soul is never fully healed, made whole, or restored, because if it’s so wicked, deceitful, and beyond cure, how can it be? It’s beyond healing, beyond restoration. But I don’t believe that’s true.

The heart of man is deep

So, what does the Septuagint say? In Jeremiah 17:9 (which is Jeremiah 17:5 in the Septuagint due to the differences in verse structure), it says: “The heart of man is deep beyond all things, and it is the man. Even so, who can know him?” In reality, what this is saying is that our heart is not wicked, deceitful, and beyond cure. Instead, it is deep beyond anything we could understand ourselves, and it really is who we are. Therefore, we cannot know who we really are in our own flesh, in our own understanding; it has to come through our relationship with God.

This different translation shapes how we perceive ourselves and others. The NIV gives a very low view of humanity. I was conditioned by that view: man being wicked, corrupted, totally depraved. It created a theological spectrum of “worm theology” – the belief that you are no one and nothing, and you had better hope that God has mercy on you. Even after receiving salvation, many Christians still don’t believe who they truly are. They still believe they need to be humble and think poorly of themselves, giving them a diminished view of being sons and Christians, less than what God intended us to have.

The value of the soul

If our heart is deceitful, desperately wicked, and beyond cure, then what hope is there for us? It fosters the mindset of always being a sinner “saved by grace.” It’s a bit like the story of Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore, who always has this downbeat attitude: “Oh, I’m no good, and everything is going to be bad.” It creates that dynamic. This degrades the soul’s value and worth, leading to a belief that you can never really trust it.

When we first enter into a relationship where our spirit and soul are reconnected with the Holy Spirit, there’s a struggle between the soul and spirit. The soul is accustomed to dictating how we live based on what we believe, our upbringing, and our experiences, while the spirit brings us into the revelation of who we really are, revealing our true eternal nature. It draws us back to the fact that God has placed eternity in our hearts and wants to bring us into an amazing relationship, where we come home and return to Him.

That relationship is completely undermined by the degrading of the value of the soul. In the early church, especially within the Catholic tradition, this mindset led to self-persecution – people whipping themselves, kneeling on broken glass, and engaging in horrendous acts. Why did they think that way? Because they believed they were lesser than God intended. This view creates suspicion of the soul and devalues humanity. By degrading humanity, there’s a gospel message to sell: “We’re so bad, we need saving,” using the fear of punishment to sell that message.

Fearfully and wonderfully made

The reality is, God doesn’t view us as bad. He sees us through the lens of Jesus and who He made us to be – His sons. We’ve always been His sons; we’ve never not been His sons. But that’s not how I was taught to believe. I was taught to believe that I wasn’t good enough and never would be. And while we can’t be good enough in our own strength, when we become who we truly are, we begin to live out a whole different dynamic of sonship.

The Septuagint actually says the heart of man is deep beyond all things, and it is the man. The human heart is deep, multifaceted, and amazing, created in God’s image and likeness. Psalm 139 says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God has a vast sum of amazing thoughts about us, and we need to learn those thoughts. Our minds need to be deconstructed from the negative things we might have believed, so we can know the truth of agreeing with God about who we really are.

367. Encounter the Heavenly Arc of God’s Presence

Mike Parsons

Now, God is eternal. It may seem obvious to say, but it’s important to grasp and understand that we come from that eternal origin. He has always been, He is, and He will always be (Revelation 1:8). He is light (1 John 1:5), He is love (1 John 4:16), He is Spirit (John 4:24), and He is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). If we meditate on these truths and other verses like them, they will open doorways for us to engage with who God is and to begin discovering who we are in that truth.

Meditation is something we need to learn and practice, focusing on these truths to open up revelation as we give ourselves time to rest in them. When we engage Him, we begin to know Him, and through that intimate relationship of beholding Him face to face, we start to understand who we are. Our identity is reflected back to us as we look at Him, revealing that we had our origin in Him.

A living sacrifice

I started by presenting myself as a living sacrifice in the Heavenly Tabernacle. As described in Hebrews, this is not the earthly tabernacle patterned after the heavenly, but the actual heavenly tabernacle designed for us to engage with God’s presence and experience Him. There are figurative elements that show as we progress and mature in our relationship with God, we come into a deeper understanding of Him and His mysteries.

In this process, I was led to engage as a living sacrifice. In other words, I surrendered and presented myself to my High Priest, Jesus, who, after the order of Melchizedek, would prepare me as that living sacrifice. I didn’t have to physically die—I had already died with Him. I had to recognize that my old identity had died, and I now live with Him, as He lives in me.

Mysteries of the Ark

As I entered into deeper intimacy, I also began to engage with the heavenly realms. In the Holy of Holies is the Ark of God’s Presence. Within the mysteries of the Ark, I began to uncover aspects of my identity and destiny. Figuratively, the items within the Ark—the tablets of stone, the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded—have symbolic meanings. For me, these represented my desire to know my daily mandate, seeking God’s guidance on what was written for me to embrace, how His provision (manna) would help me fulfil it, and the authority (the rod) I had as a son to carry it out.

Every day, I would go to God and ask, “What’s my mandate for today? What do You want me to do?” But this focus on tasks eventually became work-oriented. That’s when God began to draw me back into a place of first love, reminding me that relationship with Him was far more important than doing things for Him. Being with Him became the foundation for everything I would do with Him.

A living connection

My first experience of engaging in the Holy of Holies and the Ark was like the picture of the Ark of the Covenant with the mercy seat and two cherubim covering it. In the Old Testament, God’s presence would appear there once a year when the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to offer atonement for the nation’s sins. When I engaged the Ark, it felt as though one of the cherubim was missing.

Some have hypothesised about this. For me, it signified that the connection was meant for us, as sons, to step in and form that arc with God. In doing so, I became part of a living connection, an arc of energy and life where God’s presence would spark. This is a figurative way of understanding what I perceived.

There are theories that suggest Lucifer was once a covering cherub designed to reflect God’s glory to humanity so we could mature. When he left his place, it left a vacancy for us to step into sonship and make that arc of connection with God. But for me, it was about balancing relationship and responsibility. God reveals His heart, and then He releases His resources to show us our position and authority as sons.

The mysteries of the Dance Floor opened up new experiences for me, leading me deeper into intimacy and, eventually, into my governmental roles within sonship, after the order of Melchizedek. These were not linear experiences but concurrent ones that progressively unveiled truth.

Four faces

After God let me go from the initial embrace of first love, I re-engaged with the Ark, and that’s when I began to see the four faces of God within that connection. These faces were part of the arcing point where I could see into the deeper nature of who God is.

I had never seen the four faces of God before, as I had been focused solely on what was inside the Ark. When this mystery finally unveiled itself, I began to see the revolving faces of the eagle, the lion, the ox and the man. Over a period of about a year, I engaged with each of these faces, starting with the eagle, which seemed to resonate deeply with my identity. Then I moved on to the lion.

As I continued to behold these faces, I saw how they related to my identity, but in hindsight, I realized that I should have begun with the face of the man. This face represented my true identity as a priest in the order of Melchizedek, and had I started there, the process might have unfolded more smoothly. Instead, I initially approached it as a legislator, king, oracle, and then priest. However, the proper order should have been priest, king, oracle, and then legislator. If I had first understood my identity as a royal priest, I would have been able to embrace the fullness of my calling.

Priesthood, our first priority, comes from intimacy with the Father’s heart. It’s from that place of closeness that we outwork the responsibilities of our role. Eventually, once I connected with my priesthood identity, I was able to stand in the name of God—Yod He Vav He—and take up my place among the revolving faces of God. In doing so, I began to carry the power of His name and the frequency of Yod He Vav He, which literally caused me to vibrate with the energy of God’s presence. The name of God activated the “I AM” within me, igniting my role as a priest and helping me see through the eyes of the man.

As a priest, I started to view my life and the world from God’s heart, then transitioned into the lion’s perspective, recognizing my role as a king and understanding my heavenly authority in the royal priesthood. This authority, in turn, prepared me to be an oracle and a legislator on Earth, following the path of the ox and the eagle.

Heavenly perspective

All of this was part of the dance with God that unfolded over time. It took many years for me to reach this point. If, back in 2010, God had told me I was a priest in the order of Melchizedek or an oracle or legislator, I wouldn’t have understood. I would have lacked the heavenly perspective necessary to stand in His name and activate the power of my sonship within that name. But as I engaged with the four faces of God as a priest, I eventually found myself accessing the Eternal Now and discovering my origin there.

Looking back, had I started with priesthood, this process might have unfolded a year earlier. But God allowed me to work it out from where I was. He didn’t force me but led me into deeper illumination and truth. Over time, I found myself within the divine dance of love and intimacy—**perichoresis**—and my identity began to be revealed as my eternal origin within God.

It was only then that I realized I had existed before coming into this world. This was a profound revelation that required significant deconstruction of old mindsets. When I first began to discover first love and my creation within God, I saw the importance of surrendering my soul to the trust of the One who loves us unconditionally.

This process of surrender happens at the level of intimacy we currently have with God, and He doesn’t expect us to go beyond what we are ready for. He meets us where we are but leads us deeper. For me, this culminated in what I call the “dark cloud experience,” which we’ll get to later in this series. Every day, I surrendered as a living sacrifice, asking God to do what He needed to prepare me for who I truly am.

Get out of the boat

In essence, we need to “get out of the boat”—the figurative boat of survival where we are protecting ourselves—and immerse ourselves in the vast ocean of God’s unconditional love. It’s only there, when we are no longer in control, that we can fully experience His love and trust Him completely.

So, get relaxed, get comfortable, and begin to focus on your breathing. Breathe in very, very slowly, hold that breath, and then begin to let that breath out. Breathe in, hold that breath, and breathe out. Breathe in and breathe out. As you’re breathing in, you’re breathing in the unconditional love of the Father. You’re breathing in unconditional love, and that unconditional love is filling you, touching every fibre of your being, flowing through you.

Be still and let God love you in that place. Stay there for a few moments.

You’re in a safe place, cocooned in God’s arms, in God’s love. From that place of safety, you can make the choice to surrender, to whatever level you can, by choosing to get out of the boat. Abandon yourself, surrender to God’s love, and sink into that vast ocean of unconditional love. You can make that choice. Picture yourself in a boat, floating on a vast ocean, and step out of the boat and sink into that love.

As you’re under the water, you can breathe. You’re breathing in love. You’re sinking deeper and deeper into love, experiencing restored First Love, deeper and deeper into love. Choose to let go of anything that comes to your mind—any thoughts, any negative thoughts, any wrong thoughts about yourself, any limitations that may come up, any objections that may come into your mind. Let them go, surrender them, and go deeper and deeper into the trust of God’s protection, God’s blessing, God’s provision around your life. Receive that blessing.

You’re in a safe place of peace and rest. God wants to meet you as Father in that place and unveil something deeper of who you are, of who He is. So, begin to fix your thoughts on seeing the Father face to face. Think about it, set the desire of your heart upon it. Think of the Father embracing you, hugging you. Let those thoughts fill your imagination, to create an image, a doorway. Picture that door in your spirit and choose to open the door. Your choice is an invitation to the Father to come, to hug you, to begin to breathe His breath of life into you, so you can receive the living words of His breath.

Breathe it in. Hear His words: “I love you, I love you, my son, my daughter, I love you.” Be open to hear some of the vast sum of His thoughts. Let them restore you to His original desire for you. Maybe you’ll resonate with them in your spirit—don’t try and figure it out. Be open for an infusion of His thoughts about you, of who you really are.

Now let the Father take you by the hand and lead you. Maybe He’ll lead you to the Garden of Your Heart, maybe He’ll lead you to the dance floor, entwine with you heart to heart, and dance with you into the light and into the Mysteries. As He dances with you, allow your spirit to draw from Him. Let your spirit resonate with that truth. Let the Mysteries be deposited within you—the truth of your identity, the mysteries of your destiny. Go wherever God takes you.

Maybe you can dance with the lover of your soul. Let Him romance you. Let Him sing the song of your life over you. Feel the rhythm, feel the frequency, feel the life as it activates your DNA, as it activates within you.

366. Decoding the Old Testament | Beyond the Literal

Mike Parsons

A very literal perspective

A lot of our understanding of the Old Testament comes from what we’ve been taught from a very literal perspective. However, much of the Old Testament can also be figurative. There’s poetry, and all sorts of things which can have a deeper meaning for us. In Noah’s day, the flood is often referred to in terms of Jesus being the Saviour, and it’s illustrative of how God came and rescued those who were willing to get on the ark.

What we must be careful of is not taking this too literally, as it was written with a different understanding of God. They didn’t have the New Testament understanding of God, nor did they know God in the way Jesus revealed Him. Their perspective was through their own understanding at the time. When we look at it now, we see it doesn’t line up with the God that Jesus came to reveal. So it’s our understanding that needs adjusting, not the idea that God was ever like that. God didn’t destroy the world.

Figuratively as well as literally

Now, there are those who say, “Yes, but the world was totally corrupt, and there were no genetically pure people left other than Noah.” Illustratively, of course, God desires that nothing within us be contrary to His image, the image He created us in. Our lives are being transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we come into that correct image. You can view these things figuratively as well as literally.

When it comes to questions like Sodom and Gomorrah—who caused the fire and brimstone? Well, who causes earthquakes? God doesn’t cause them. Who causes many other things? These are often the result of the natural world being in tension, not yet restored, groaning and longing for the sons of God to be revealed.

Fire and brimstone

Now, when you look at fire and brimstone—fire is often seen as God’s consuming fire. But we tend to think God destroyed them with fire. Fire could also be seen as a purifying force, a purification of what Sodom and Gomorrah represented, rather than a literal destruction of two cities. Some people believe they’ve found Sodom and Gomorrah, pointing to tar pits in the Middle East.

Brimstone actually means “God’s presence”—it’s the word “sulfur.” Brimstone is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, and the word used is “Theon,” from “Theos,” meaning “God.” So, brimstone signifies the presence of God, and God’s presence is purifying. These stories can be seen in that light. I know God didn’t cause these events because He doesn’t pour down judgment on people in that way. However, He does judge things that operate against the truth and will bring fire and brimstone to anything in our lives that hinders us from knowing and experiencing the truth and His love. But He’s not destroying people—He’s destroying the obstacles in our way.

There are different ways to look at it. Ultimately, I believe that God is love, God is good, and what He intends for us is to know His goodness and love. A lot of the Old Testament stories are figurative, but they’re written in a way that often doesn’t differentiate clearly between sowing and reaping. If someone sowed something bad, they reaped the consequences, not from God, but as a result of their actions.

The one who accuses

So, who brings about the consequence? The one who accuses and then comes to execute that accusation. We sow, and we reap the accusations against us for what we’ve sown. You could say the enemy brought the fire. In the undifferentiated view of God, if something bad happened, they thought God must have done it. But it could have been the enemy bringing the consequences of their behaviour, as the enemy seeks to rob, kill, and destroy.

Jesus said the enemy comes to do just that. So, who brought fire and brimstone? The enemy. Who brought the flood? You could say the enemy, or you could say the Earth itself reacted to the violence and horror, as described in Genesis 6, where violence was continual. The Earth washed itself clean. There are different ways to view it.

God is good

What I do know is that God is love, God is good, and He doesn’t kill or punish anyone, even if the Old Testament seems to say otherwise. Jesus came to reveal the truth. He said, “You’ve heard it said, but I’m saying to you,” and “If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father.” Jesus didn’t destroy anyone. He only wanted to gather them to Himself because that’s what love does.
