450. The Art of Intentional Living: Governing from Our Throne

Governing from the Throne

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

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

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

Releasing Positive Frequencies

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

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

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

Attracting Supportive Relationships

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

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

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

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

The Power of Declarations

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

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

442. Unconditional Love – NO GUILT, NO SHAME

Mike Parsons

Nothing can change God. He is love. He will never, ever be anything other than love. That love is always unconditional—it is never-ending, and totally unconditional.

So, if what you read about God—whether in the Old Testament, New Testament or anyone’s writings—appears to contradict or fall short of love, then either what is written is wrong, or your understanding of it is flawed. Most likely, it is the result of. This goes beyond religion—it is rooted in how different cultures have understood and presented God. Religion has twisted concepts like holiness and righteousness—true characteristics of God—so that they seem to trump grace and mercy. But they do not. They are equal. God’s grace and mercy are expressions of unconditional love.

No guilt, no shame.

God is a righteous judge, and therefore He is a God of true justice. The problem for many is that religion has conditioned them to believe that judgment and justice mean wrath and punishment. But judgment, made by God our Father, is not based on human ideas of justice. It is grounded in loving kindness and in the fact that He has already reconciled the world to Himself, not counting anything against anyone. Every accusation against us has been nailed to the cross.

Judgment is a verdict, a decision—not a punishment. And the Father’s verdict is always made in love. That verdict is: not guilty. Innocent. You have been declared not guilty—innocent of all charges and accusations made against you. So if you hear accusing thoughts, reject them. They either come from your own mind, or from another source that thrives on guilt and condemnation. If you believe you are guilty or condemned, and not innocent, you will live a lesser life than the one God intends.

God so loved the world that Jesus came to reveal love. But that love goes even deeper and further back than the cross. Jesus offered Himself before the foundation of the world, so that love would always win, so that love would overcome. The Father’s judgement—’not guilty’—was agreed before we were ever created. All accusations were nailed to the cross. Nothing is held against us.

Jesus, the Lion, fully identified with humanity as a lamb—because all of us, like sheep, have gone astray. Each one of us follows our own way. He came to bring us back into relationship. We may be lost in our independence, but I believe the term “humanity” does not reflect the nature and character of God. It reflects a humanistic mindset that seeks to do everything in its own strength. But God, in Jesus, fully identified with us. Why? Because He loves us.

That “transaction”—figuratively compared to being slain—was a choice to identify with us so completely that He became one of us. In becoming us, He represented us entirely. He became not as Adam was, but as Adam became. He entered a fallen world and fully identified with our fallen nature. That is why He cried out from the cross, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?”

But that cry was, in reality, a lie—because God never forsook Jesus. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. God never rejected or forgot us. It was only how we thought of Him, through our guilt and loss of identity, after we chose independence. He became us so we could be restored to who He always intended us to be. And now we live in a new age, under a new covenant. A covenant Jesus made with the Father—and all of mankind is included in it.

Jesus warned us of the religious and political spirit, likened to leaven, that would permeate the whole lump. In my own experience—through churches and movements I have been part of—my understanding of the new covenant was tainted by old covenant ideas.

Unconditional love does not require sacrifices or offerings. But an old covenant mindset always demands something: our obedience, our obligation, our duty. These are dead works. They carry no value before the Father. He does not require them—and, in truth, He never did. That may come as a shock to many. We must be careful not to operate under an old covenant, works-based, performance-oriented mindset towards God. It will exhaust us. We will never find rest if we think we must earn God’s love or favour.

There is no guilt, no shame, no condemnation in unconditional love. Those things are religious constructs designed to keep us coming back for more religion.

No Law, no punishment

Hebrews 6:1-2 are often misunderstood—and I misunderstood them for most of my life. I even taught them as foundations of new covenant faith. But what Hebrews 6 actually says is: “Therefore, leaving the elementary teachings about the Christ, let us press on to maturity—not laying again a foundation of repentance…”

The old covenant was immature. The new covenant brings maturity—but only if we do not lay again the old covenant foundation: repentance from dead works, faith towards God, instructions about washings, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgement. All of these are old covenant ideas. They have no place in the new. And yet these very things are what most churches teach as foundational. They were in our church’s foundational course too. But now I realise: these are the things we should not be laying again. There is no life left in the old system. It is dead. We have to move on.

That whole system was based on sacrifices and offerings, connected to the Law given through Moses—a law that was never God’s idea. I am not talking about the Ten Commandments, which actually describe what a good relationship with God looks like. They are not really “Thou shalt not…” They are: “You do not need to…” You do not need any other gods. You do not need to steal. You do not need to kill. Why? Because in this amazing relationship of safety and security, God provides everything. That was His offer.

But the people were afraid and sent Moses instead. So they set up a mediatorial system—the Law. It had 613 requirements they were supposed to keep. Jesus made it clear that it was impossible. Fail in one, and you fail in all. We cannot keep the Law. From the very beginning of the Church, there were attempts to drag people back under it. The religious spirit, working through the Judaizers—even within Jerusalem and the early Church—tried to impose the law of Moses once again.

John 1:17 says, “The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

God never wanted sacrifices and offerings. People will say, “Yes, but He accepted them.” Isaiah 1:11 says, “What are your many sacrifices to Me?” says the Lord. “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams… I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.”

Jeremiah 7:22 says, “I did not speak to your fathers or command them… concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.” So He never told them to make offerings. Yet they made a golden calf and sacrificed to it. Where did that come from? Their own understanding.

Of course God accepted sacrifices and offerings—because He accepts us. He also accepted their demand for a king, even though He was already their King. That does not mean it was what He wanted. But He works with us, even in our brokenness and our flawed position.

Psalm 40:6 says, “You have not desired sacrifice and meal offering… You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.” Then it says—prophetically of Jesus—“Behold, I have come… I delight to do Your will, my God; Your law is within my heart.” 

And the law, when written in the heart, is not a ‘Thou shalt not’. It is a ‘You can’. Because when it is revealed from within, it gives permission to live as sons of God. Not ‘You shall not do this’, but ‘You can do all these amazing things’—as co-heirs and co-creators.

The God I thought I knew twenty years ago—or even twelve years ago—is now a distant memory. He is not what religion taught me He was. He is not what I was conditioned to believe by church or anything else—He is so much better than that. He is so much better. He is so good, so loving, so kind, so thoughtful, so passionate—beyond what I could ever have imagined until I met Him face to face and began to experience how He revealed Himself to me.

Thankfully, He did not do that all in one go, because it would have completely shattered my mind, I expect. But the Father has deconstructed my thinking and expanded my consciousness beyond what I could ever have imagined or thought possible. God is so much bigger, better, further—and creation is beyond what I ever could have imagined. I was conditioned, like most people, to believe you went to heaven when you died. But when God opened up that realm to me, and the dimensions and all those things to engage with Him and to experience—it is just so awesome.

So many of the things I believed about God were programmed into me by religious doctrines and theological understandings that I now know were never true. But I believed they were true, because that was the stream I was in at the time. I started off in the Methodist Church, went to the Brethren Church, eventually started a charismatic church—and I have been on a journey of discovering things. But that was nothing compared to engaging God in the realms of heaven, face to face, or engaging God within me in a place of intimacy.

All the doctrines that were programmed into me about who He was—the angry God, the God who needs appeasing, the Old Testament God as opposed to the New Testament God—all those confusing things, I realised I believed were true because I had never actually met Him. One day, He said to me, “How much of what you know about Me comes directly from Me, and how much of it has come from reading, listening to sermons and other people?” I had to admit—probably ninety-nine percent of what I thought I knew was not from personal experience. Therefore, it was only information, not true knowledge.

All of us have been programmed by the things we have been taught and the things we have received. You could be programmed into a non-religious mindset that is just as religious. You could be in an atheist household and be programmed to believe God does not exist. Or you could be brought up in religious settings, church settings, that have, in a sense, determined what you believe about God, and the Bible, and everything else.

For me, this has been a long, sometimes arduous journey to come to the knowledge of the truth and come to the realisation that, actually, God is love. His love is unconditional. Experiencing that is what He wants us to do—so that we can come into a reality where we love as He loved.

This teaching forms part of Mike Parsons’ new book Unconditional Love, which is out in print on 20 June 2025. Order it from your favourite local or online bookseller today, or get the ebook from our website.  More details at eg.freedomarc.org/books.

Unconditional love is hard to grasp. It is so difficult for people to understand because of the way we have been programmed. For me, if God is love, and He is not unconditional love, then He is not love at all. Because if love is conditional, it cannot be love. You cannot earn love.

Understanding unconditional love—and the nature of it, and why it is so often challenged—is really, really important. I believe this is probably the most important and the biggest key truth that has made the most impact in my life over the last ten to twelve years. The truth that God is unconditional love has been attacked; it has been twisted in many different ways. That is because it is so important that we understand it and experience it. When we experience that unconditional love, it brings freedom. It releases us to be ourselves. It stops us from having to perform to earn it or deserve it.

A phrase any of you familiar with me for any length of time will have heard me say a lot—because the Father said it to me—is: “Live loved, live living, and live loving.” He has said that so many times as an encouragement and a motivation. This is simply how we can live: we can live loved. Now, that does not mean live trying to be loved, or trying to earn love, or deserve love, or be good enough for love. Just live loved. Just accept that we are loved in an unconditional way—in a completely unconditional way. That is the key to this understanding and this experience.

If we are living in that place of living loved, then we can love living. Life is joyous. I look forward to every day, because there is more to experience, more to explore, more to just resting—to just be. And then we can live loving. This is really where the rubber hits the road. To live loving means we have to demonstrate the love to others that we have received. Jesus said, “Love one another as I have loved you.” People strive to love other people—and it is hard sometimes—when they are not very nice to you, and they do things that really make you say, “Well, I do not want to love them. Look how they treated me. Look how they hurt me.”

Any of you who have been involved in church for very long will know how easy it is to be hurt by people—whether deliberately or by accident. It is hard in relationships to maintain a loving attitude to someone all the time and to everybody. That is really difficult. But it is possible, because that is the way God has loved us. God has loved us, and He wants us to love other people in the same way. So if God’s love towards us is unconditional, then our love towards other people should also be unconditional.

Now, I use the word should, and actually, that is a word I want to eliminate from my vocabulary when it comes to God, and relationship, and living life. I do not want to do things because I should do them. Who says I should do them? Did God say I should do them? If so, that is a condition—that I should do something. So what is the consequence of not doing something? If I do not do what God wants me to do, what will He do? So what sort of God do we believe in? What does He do when we do things that do not line up with what He wants us to do? Are there a whole load of things we should do?

On my journey, He has really challenged me about that word. So many of us have that word: “Well, I should do this… I should go to church, I should pray, I should read my Bible, I should witness… I should, I should, I should.” Why should I? Because I am conditioned to? Because I think it is the right thing to do?

God challenged me over things like obedience. Should I be obedient? And of course, I thought, “Well of course I should! Why would I not want to be obedient to God?” But He challenged me. My thinking around that was very old covenant. Because obedience is to something which is a law. God does not want us to obey Him. God wants us to have a relationship with Him in which we share, in which we cooperate with one another—and in which, of course, we would only want to do the things that we see the Father doing. But not because we should, but because we desire to. Because it is the desire of my heart to be in relationship with God, who loves me in such a wonderful way.

So many people accept that God is love—but there is always a but. Religion programmes buts. Yes, that is true, but… I had lots of buts myself in the past. Why? Because it is too good to be true for an independent, alienated mind to accept that God could love you without any condition. We have been programmed by religion to believe we have to do something to deserve or earn love, or to appease anger. That is what God really wants to change. That is the greatest deception. It fools people into trying to earn something that is already theirs by right of inheritance—because we are all His children. We are all co-heirs, whether we know it or not.

We are all God’s children and, therefore by definition, we are all loved unconditionally by a loving Father, overflowing in loving kindness. To experience that and to know that is life-changing.

429. Jesus is the Path to the Father

Of course, Jesus is the way we come to the Father. But He is a door… He said, “I am the door,” and He’s introducing us into a relationship with the Father. I do engage with Jesus at times—sometimes as the Truth—when I feel led to connect with Him in that way. But the bottom line is, we are sons, and a relationship with the Father is absolutely vital. I don’t believe for a moment that if you don’t consciously talk about Jesus, or think, “I must go through Jesus to have a relationship with the Father,” you’ll somehow open the door to the demonic. That’s not how it works.

At the end of the day, demons cannot take control of our lives. We have the Holy Spirit within us—the presence of God living in us. Unless someone deliberately chooses to give access to an external force, by surrendering or submitting to it, a demon cannot simply take over. You’re not going to be overrun just because you didn’t say the name of Jesus. That’s not how it works.

Your relationship with the Father is exactly what Jesus wants you to have. He’s not jealous or overly protective about His name. What He wants is that relationship. And actually, when you have a relationship with the Father, you’re also in relationship with Jesus and with the Spirit. They are one. They exist in perichoresis—a divine dance of mutual indwelling. So if you’re talking to the Father, Jesus is fully aware of the conversation. It’s not like you’re excluding Him or shutting Him out. You’re not.

I think sometimes people come under a kind of religious bondage, and I believe God wants to set us free from that. Intuitively, I think many people know what’s right in their own walk with God. If you’re experiencing and enjoying that relationship, you don’t need religious rules saying, “You must do this,” or “You must say that.” When people start saying things like “demons disguise themselves” or “if you don’t say Jesus’s name, you could be deceived,” it brings confusion and fear, which is not from God.

Just to clarify—demons are not fallen angels. They are disembodied souls, roaming the earth, looking for someone to express through. Angelic beings and fallen angelic beings exist, yes, but they’re not the same as demons. And actually, it’s very easy to discern which is which when you’re in relationship with God. That relationship gives you the discernment to recognise love, and love is the plumb line by which you measure everything. If something carries the frequency of love, it’s not demonic or fallen. You learn to recognise what God is using, who He is communicating through, and who He is Himself, by experiencing His love.

So I’d just say—lay all that other stuff down. Don’t get confused. Go with what’s in your own heart. Loving God, feeling His love in you, and expressing that—that’s what matters. In my Patreon teaching this month, I talked about what Jesus said: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” That doesn’t mean law or obligation. It means desire. His one desire is that we would be loved and empowered to love others in the same way. That’s the essence of it.

He wants us to be who He created us to be and to express that in love to others. It’s not about demanding obedience—it’s about desire and relationship. The word “commandment” has a goal built into it—entole, which means that in the end, there’s a result. And the result is this: “Let me love you, and you’ll be empowered to love others.” That’s what Jesus is really looking for.

In our relationship with the Father, He empowers us to love, because He’s loving us as sons—or daughters, if you prefer. There’s no gender in this—it’s not about physical identity, but about our position in God’s heart and government. So again, it’s not that Jesus has to be the focus in the sense that you must always say His name or fix your thoughts only on Him. He is the way we’ve come to engage the Father. The Father revealed Himself in us through Jesus, but Jesus doesn’t need to be approached legalistically. They are all one. There’s no jealousy or competition within the Godhead.

Ultimately, love and experiencing love is the primary thing. If someone says that’s not enough unless you explicitly follow Jesus, I’d say that following Jesus is following the way of love—true love, not how the world defines it. Some people might have a relationship with God but not yet know it came through Jesus. But He’s not worried about that. They’ll know in time. The truth will be revealed, and they’ll come to see it.

So don’t get caught up in arguments or pressures that bring confusion and discomfort. If someone’s pushing a particular view that doesn’t sit well with you, don’t follow it. Go with your heart. If what you’re experiencing is love, then it’s safe. The devil cannot deceive us when we’re grounded in truth—and Jesus is the Truth. But He wants us to know truth not just intellectually, but experientially—through love. Love is truth.

You’re not wasting your life by having this wonderful relationship with the Father. The angelic realm is there to help. We each have guardian angels assigned to us. They’re not going to deceive you. And you don’t need to live in fear of deception when you’re in relationship with God, grounded in truth and love.

Love is the primary way truth is revealed. So enjoy it. Rest in that love. Anything that pulls you out of love’s rest and into fear, anxiety or worry isn’t coming from God. Perfect love casts out fear.

And yes—your relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit is enough. Through that relationship, you are also connected with Jesus. You don’t need to separate them out in your mind. They are in perichoresis, in union. So when you engage with the Father, you’re engaging with Jesus as well, one way or another.

419. Jesus Saves Us From The Father’s Wrath? NO!

Mike Parsons

Wrath? Whose wrath?

Another wrong interpretation of the Bible paints the picture of a God who is angry, full of wrath, and ready to torment and punish. But unconditional love does not fail or give up. It is faithful, persistent, and wins in the end. So, God has no reason to be angry. People often struggle with this concept, but the Bible clearly says that Jesus came to take away the sins of the world—in other words, our lost identity. He also nailed every accusation against us to the cross. They were defeated and finished. It also says that God was in Christ, in 2 Corinthians 5:19, reconciling the world to himself, not counting their sins against them—not counting their trespasses against them. So, if there’s nothing to hold against anyone, why would God be angry, and what wrath would he have to punish anyone with? He wouldn’t. He doesn’t. He hasn’t. Love keeps no record of wrongs.

Romans 5:8 in the NIV says: “But God demonstrates his own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Which is absolutely true. Even when we were in our lost identity, Jesus died for us. He didn’t wait for us to recover our identity, sort ourselves out or be good enough. He died for us—as us. We died with him while we were still in that lost state. Then verse 9 says: “Much more then, having now been justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through him.”

So this is saying, quite correctly, that we’ve been justified by his blood… but how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him? Jesus came to save us from his Father’s wrath? No. That isn’t the truth. In fact, this verse does not say that. If you look at the original Greek, it does not say we are saved from God’s wrath.

So what is the wrath we’ve been saved from?

Not God’s! Does God store up his wrath to pour out on his children? Absolutely not—because he has no wrath to pour out. So does “the wrath” here have a different meaning? Because it’s talking about the wrath—a very specific wrath. Does it come from another source? Yes—and we’re going to look at what it is.

(A clue to this is found in who Jesus says comes to rob, kill and destroy. The thief. The accuser. The devil. And who is it that desires to give us abundant life? Jesus—the Good Shepherd. That comes from John 10:10.)

Romans 5:9 does not actually mention anything about God’s wrath. In fact, there are two Bible versions that include the phrase “wrath of God”, but put of God in italics, admitting that it was not in the original Greek: it was added to help the reader understand (or so the translator thought) but it has actually created a deception. They assumed it meant God’s wrath, since they didn’t know the love of God. They assumed that’s what it meant—but it wasn’t there at all.

For example, the NASB says: “Much more then, having now been justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through him.” But “of God” is in italics—because it’s not in the original. It was added. The NTE doesn’t put it in italics. It says: “Much more, because we’ve now been declared righteous by his blood, we shall be saved through him from God’s wrath.” But it does put a note: “Greek: the wrath (referring to God’s wrath as in verse 10).” So, what does verse 10 actually say?

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life? (Romans 5:10).

Where does it mention “God’s wrath” there? We needed to be reconciled to God—God did not need to be reconciled to us. He has never, ever turned from us. It’s we who turned from him. It was our wrath that God in Christ endured—not God’s wrath waiting to crush us. Because God has no wrath and no desire to crush anyone. He is a loving, restoring God.

So what is the correct translation?

Well, in this case, the King James Version actually gets it right. It says: “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” It doesn’t add “God’s”—just “wrath”. The Young’s Literal Translation says: “Much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath.” That’s what it actually says.

If the wrath we’re saved from is not God’s, then whose is it?

Paul was using the Septuagint translation, which also included a book called The Wisdom of Solomon. That book was in all Christian Bibles until the 1500s, when it was removed from most. It’s still in some. The Wisdom of Solomon—which Paul would have known and read—gives us insight into the wrath, and whose wrath it is. In writing what he did, Paul would have known this verse:

So he overcame the destroyer, not with the strength of body nor force of arms, but with a subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers. For when the dead were now fallen down in heaps one upon another, standing between them, he stayed the wrath and diverted the way to the living. (Wisdom of Solomon 18:22-3).

In other words, this was describing what God was doing to the destroyer—the one who was punishing—so that the wrath would be stopped, and people wouldn’t be killed.

So what is “the wrath” that God’s servant overcomes? The wrath—another name for the destroyer—who, by this point, the Jews no longer associated with God, but with Satan. (Remember, they had previously had an undifferentiated view of God in which they thought ‘the destroyer’ was God even though Satan may have been doing the work.)

Jesus saves us—not from his loving Father—but is sent by the Father to save us from the wrath. The destroyer. The accuser. Satan. That has a totally different connotation.

Which translation should I trust?

Revealing these differences in translation—where some words have been mistranslated—can cause confusion. People often ask: “Which translation should I read? Which should I trust?”

The answer, really, is to trust the Good Shepherd—Jesus—the Way, the Truth, and the Life—who said we can hear his voice and follow him. Follow Jesus. Don’t follow your interpretation of what you think the Bible might say. Yes, the Holy Spirit can bring us revelation of truth. But it’s difficult when we’ve already been programmed to believe we know what the truth is. We’re all confirmationally biased, which means it’s really hard to be deconstructed.

For me, it was such a hard process for God to deconstruct my mind from the things I thought were true—things I had never really questioned. I had some struggles, but I hadn’t questioned deeply enough to seek the real answer. It took experiences of unconditional love to bring that change. I believe we can use unconditional love as the plumb line to discern what is true. The gospel is good news—not bad news. If we know the true good news, we’ll be free from the deceptions that misrepresent God, misrepresent us, and misrepresent how God treats and loves us.

An “unbiased translator” is an oxymoron. In reality, everyone is biased by something. The question is: are you biased by love or by theology? Take the Mirror Bible, for instance—translated by Francois du Toit. His bias is love. He sees God as a mirror of who we are. I don’t mind that bias. But I struggle with a bias that translates things through a belief that God is angry and will punish his children forever.

Your ability to judge a translation doesn’t come from your linguistic skills or academic credentials—some people have those and some don’t. It comes from your personal knowledge of who Jesus is—the nature of God as revealed by him—and the gospel of unconditional love that he preached.

Unconditional love is the reality. God loves us in such an unconditional way that he continually seeks us out to reveal we have been saved from our lostness. In the YouTube video, The Gospel of the Chairs, by Brad Jersak, which I’d encourage everyone to watch, God never turns away from us—he always turns towards us—so that we can be restored to relationship.

God’s love is so unconditional that he designed us to be immortal—to have a continual, unbroken relationship with him. Death was the result of Adam—representing mankind—walking in independence, away from life. Jesus came to undo what Adam did, and undo the consequences brought by the enemy, including death—by taking back the keys of death and Hades, and revealing what was hidden—who we really are.

418. Revelation of the Merkabah

Mike Parsons

Recap: Introducing the Merkabah

We have immortal life energy flowing within us through the Merkabah. As we saw last time, the Merkabah can help regenerate the soul and physical body. The energy it focuses aids healing as it interacts with a person’s subtle energy fields, such as the unified energy field, promoting healing by raising frequency. Much illness stems from low emotional and mental frequencies because thoughts of fear, worry and anxiety lower our frequency, making us more susceptible to sickness.

When we live in abundant health, we cultivate an energy field within us that raises our frequency, aligning us with the frequency of health. This is why focusing our thoughts and emotions on love, joy, peace and other positive states promotes health. Our entire immune system is designed to function optimally when we maintain an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving. The Merkabah’s healing effects help prolong life, but true connection to the unified quantum field brings abundant life and immortality by drawing from God’s life force.

This process works as we focus our intentions and align our frequencies with love, joy and peace, bringing rest and accessing God’s abundant life energy within us. As explored last time, this is like drinking from the eternal source described in John 4 and John 7, where rivers of living water flow from the core of our being, symbolising spirit, life, energy and light. The living light energy flows to the Merkabah, where it is focused and distributed through our seven energy gates, providing limitless energy and abundant life. This process is also connected to the Sephiroth or the Tree of Life, whose geometric shape links to the energy gates and is designed to balance spirit and soul, bringing wholeness to our body.

It is not enough to function solely in the spirit without manifestation in the soul, nor to operate only in the soul without spiritual grounding. We need a harmonious balance of both, embodying the principle of ‘on earth as it is in heaven’, to bring our body into the wholeness experienced by our spirit and soul.

Merkabah truth revealed

The Father has revealed much truth about the Merkabah to me. When he first spoke to me about this, I didn’t fully understand, and to be honest, I still don’t grasp it all. However, I believe the truth of what he said and recognise it as a journey of discovery. As I share these insights, I invite you to embrace them and seek the Father for your own revelation.

The Merkabah has multiple levels of revelation and application that will unfold with the maturity of sonship. As we mature, we will gain a deeper understanding of and ability to function within this truth. For many, the first level is as the chariot of Ezekiel, which moves heavenly thrones dimensionally. You can read about this chariot—the word Merkabah—and how it moves things in the heavens.

Another level involves the application of energy linked to gateways, sometimes called chakras, and entering through portals as gateways. These are dimensions of revelation to be experienced. When the Father first spoke to me about these concepts, I wasn’t aware I could enter portals inwardly. While I was doing so, I didn’t understand how or that I could consciously choose to do it.

There is also a connection to the governmental positions within the Tree of Life and Metatron’s Cube in light. Initially, I didn’t understand this, prompting me to explore the Tree of Life and its relationship to my seven energy gates and the Merkabah within me. As I engaged with this revelation, the Father helped me understand that the Tree of Life is meant to unify spirit and soul with the body, bringing balance and wholeness.

Metatron’s Cube, which is central to the Merkabah’s sacred geometric shape, is a whole topic on its own. I have explored some aspects of it, but I know there is much more to learn. Using limitless grace energy to create and choose reality by drawing from the unified quantum field is not a common revelation but will become clearer with expanded consciousness.

When God first spoke to me about the unified quantum field, I had no idea what it meant. I didn’t understand how to choose reality from an energy field I couldn’t comprehend. However, the Father was teaching me to align with his heart, expanding my consciousness and shifting my perspective. Quantum physics suggests that the observer chooses reality, meaning reality responds to our observation or choice.

As I learned to apply this, I saw many instances where choosing a reality aligned with the Father’s heart produced what some might call miracles. In truth, it was simply aligning with his reality rather than my own or others’ expectations.

Activating our energy gates and fields through intentionality is crucial. We must deliberately choose and focus—this doesn’t happen randomly. Intentionality is the first step towards generating and directing energy as frequency. Everything is made up of energy and frequency, which we perceive as matter when it vibrates at certain frequencies.

The Father taught me that by activating my energy gates and the surrounding energy field, I could create a flow of living water from my innermost being. This flow extends out through the gateways of my body, creating energy fields where I can live in peace, rest, life and abundance. This is a state of frequency.

The sacred geometric image

Son, look deeper into the sacred geometric image and use this knowledge to increase your thought energy and creative ability. When the Father said this, I had no idea what he meant. I recognised the image, as I had it behind me in my previous office. It was a large picture on the wall, and I would often find myself looking into it, wondering what I was seeing, what it meant and how it related to me and my thoughts. The more I did this, the more the Father began to show me that this knowledge of dimensional connections and portals within the Merkabah meant I could use my thought energy in a creative way.

God then took me on a journey, showing me how I could operate within what he called the Cradle of Life, a place within his heart where I could come into resonant agreement with him. Through this process, I could become his voice, and as I creatively spoke, light would begin to respond to me. At the time, I didn’t understand any of this, but I set my heart on it. I pondered it, treasured it, and held it close, even though I had no real clue what it meant. This treasuring, this incubation—being pregnant with something—allowed it to grow. As it grew within me, it began to manifest and be birthed.

The unified quantum field can be the connection between your consciousness and creation through the Elementals, which are connected to the living light strings of our grace. I know that’s a lot to take in. I remember thinking: unified quantum field, consciousness, creation, Elementals, living light strings of grace… it was a lot to process.

Elementals

The Elementals are beings that God created for us to connect with creation. We often think of them as earth, fire, air and water, but there is also the ether, which is the field we can engage with. We can learn to interact with all of them, connecting with them so that life begins to outwork in our lives towards creation.

Son, engage the Elementals through the Merkabah by your consciousness, not just in physical locations. This way, you can connect to all dimensions or realities to restore hope. At the time, I was on a journey to engage things dimensionally, and this helped me realise there are Elementals in the dimensions as well as on earth.

You can connect to the elements, to the trees, the earth, the plants and all living things. I’ve done a lot of this over the past year, particularly through gardening. I’ve spent a lot of time looking after the garden, tending and cultivating the trees, growing things and connecting my conscious choices to them for favour, blessing and bounty. As a result, I’ve enjoyed bountiful harvests from what I’ve planted, as I’ve engaged at an Elemental level in a sentient way with creation and my thinking.

We have a large cherry tree at the front of the house. When I asked if we got cherries from it, the answer was, “Not many, and the blackbirds eat most of those.” So, I set my heart on engaging with the tree. I communed with it through the Elementals, connecting with it so I could communicate my desire for it to produce an abundance of cherries—enough for all our needs and more, enough for every good deed. I wanted enough for the neighbours, for the blackbirds and for us too.

That year, we had an amazing harvest of cherries. I believe we are designed to connect with creation, just as Adam and Eve were placed in the garden to tend and cultivate it, receiving a bounty through cooperation rather than exploitation. God wants to show us how to connect with creation in a positive way, broadcasting messages of hope and light.

Broadcast messages of hope

Son, the Merkabah can connect to dimensions and also broadcast intentional thought energy to the Babel-like towers you have seen. When the Tower of Babel existed on Earth, it served as a communication system to connect to the heavens and alter dimensions. However, what it broadcast was the negative frequency of our lost identity out to those dimensions.

As God opened those dimensions for me to visit and engage with, I encountered beings who wanted help. When I engaged with them, they wanted to know how they could find freedom and restoration. Why? Because they were feeling our energy—the energy of sonship—and were drawn to it. As they began to reach out, God opened the door to connect with them. When I visited several of their dimensional places, I saw Babel-like towers in each of them, created to connect to our dimensional reality for communication. I disrupted that communication, instead broadcasting into those dimensions the truth of God’s love, freedom and the true frequencies of our full identity as sons of God, counteracting the negative frequencies of our lost identity.

This has been a journey and a process to come into this type of reality. The Father said, ‘Son, use this ability to send love letters as messages of hope and freedom dimensionally.’ I’ve been doing this by engaging the Earth shield and the dimensions as part of who I am, to communicate God’s love not just on Earth but into every dimensional reality.

Frequency of the Oracles

Creation does not distinguish between the frequency of sound produced by the voice, a bowl or your mind as you think the sound. I had already experimented with crystal bowls and using their frequencies with intention, seeing healing and other results. The Father showed me—and will show all of us—that creation does not differentiate between those sounds. Whether we speak, produce a frequency and release an intention, or simply think, the frequency functions just like sound. At a quantum level, all frequency-generating methods have the same effect, where photonic strings of grace and living light respond to our sonship mandate.

I’ve learned this over time. Initially, I didn’t understand, but as I continued to pursue this, I began to learn how to use my mind and intention to focus my thinking and engage. The Father said, ‘Son, this is the function of oracles and legislators. Remember the four faces of God in regard to the order of Melchizedek: man, lion, ox, eagle—priest, king, oracle, legislator.’

When we are an oracle—when we speak from the heart of God with the voice of God—we can legislate, bringing that authority into manifestation. I don’t want to be an oracle of my own thoughts or a legislator of my own ideas. I want to resonate with the Father’s heart, with the oracles of his heart, with his passion, burning desire, overwhelming love, deep compassion and intense joy. Those are the oracles of his heart. I want to resonate with them, be motivated by them and embody them when I engage with creation, dimensions, fallen beings and people. My desire is to reflect the Father’s heart, resonating with it and carrying that essence of love.

The hearts of sons produce pentatonic energy fields, designed to generate the oracle frequencies to connect with creation. When I first heard this, I thought, ‘What on earth does that mean?’ I’m not a musician and had no understanding of pentatonic scales or pentatonic energy fields. But I treasured this revelation and pursued it. I researched and learned that pentatonic musical scales—five notes—are always harmonious.

For someone who isn’t a musician, this meant I could use five crystal bowls to play harmonious sounds. I then asked the Father, ‘What are the frequencies of the oracles of your heart? What are they, really?’ The Father showed me those frequencies. I played the five notes on my crystal bowls, recorded them and tuned them to match the frequencies he showed me. By doing this, I could play those notes with the power to bring about the manifestation of the oracles of his heart, demonstrating his passion, burning desire and the amazing ways he sees, thinks about and interacts with us.

Guard your heart

The Father continued,

This is why the pure of heart can see beyond and why life flows from the heart. The heart here is not the physical organ or the soul; it is the union of soul and spirit—our innermost being. When our hearts are pure, life flows freely.

“Son, this ability to choose and create reality has been limited to the unconscious and subconscious, which means we keep creating the realities in which we were birthed and experienced in the past. It has mostly been lost to the conscious mind, but it is being restored. We will soon be able to choose a different reality from the one we are programmed to live in by our past. If we continue to operate from the memory of past experiences, we will keep creating the same reality, repeating the same cycles over and over again. However, when we begin to choose new creation realities, we will find our ability restored, enabling us to live in a completely different dimensional way.

“A heart motivated by the selfishness of the do-it-yourself tree path, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, will only create more chaos if it accesses these abilities. This is why we lost these bandwidth abilities in the past—because we were using them for our own gain, whether good or bad, which is ultimately selfish. Only as our hearts are renewed, restored, and made whole, and as we begin to operate from the heart of God, will the fullness of these abilities be released to us. That is why we need to mature.

“A pure, undivided heart resonating with love’s oracles is the only way to bring about restoration at a creational and dimensional level. Son, guard your heart and focus on developing the pentatonic frequencies and energy fields around your being and spheres.”

When he spoke of spheres, he meant areas of authority that I hold. I began to learn how to engage my heart with the pentatonic frequencies. I played them on the crystal bowls, engaging them intentionally and creating energy fields around me from what was developing. These energy fields were the oracles of the Father’s heart.

I want people around me to feel God’s passion for them—his burning desire for a relationship with them, his intense joy when he thinks of them, his deep compassion, and his overwhelming love.

Matthew 12:34: “For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.” We need to ensure that what fills our hearts is good.

Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” We must look at our hearts, ensuring they are being restored, healed, and able to focus and choose the right intentions.

Proverbs 4:20: “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.”

When we engage with the heart of the Father—face to face, heart to heart, mind to mind—when we engage the cradle of life and his thoughts and intentions, they begin to shape us. If we keep them within the heart as the centre of our motivation for what we think, feel, and do, they will bring life to those who find them and health to their whole body. This is a statement of immortality.

We need the reality and truth of God’s heart in our own hearts. That truth, when at the core of our being, will bring life and health.

“Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.”

Immortal life flows from the core of our heart, which is the centre of the energy gates connected to the Merkabah, flowing with energy from Heaven through us. This energy is then dissipated into our body, energising us for life.

It is crucial to keep our heart—our spirit and soul—in union and oneness with the Father, Son, and Spirit, not separated, so that life can flow.

We need to focus and give attention to what God says and reveals—not just through the Bible but through his words to us directly. Jesus said, “My sheep will hear my voice, and they will follow me.” We must ensure we focus on what God has said to us.

Becoming godlike

As we mature and ascend higher, we will discover creative abilities far beyond what we could have ever imagined. We have the ability to live multi-dimensionally—not just in the angelic realms of heaven and earth—but to engage and travel dimensionally and through time. All of this is part of the eternal aspect of our life as sons of God—our immortal and eternal life.

We need to embrace this truth and come into the fullness of it. I encourage you to be open to a completely different framework of thinking, to be unlimited by time and space.

It is truly amazing. I remain in awe of the things God has spoken to me about. Even though I do not understand everything, I treasure these revelations and believe this reality will manifest as I fully embrace them. Ultimately, I believe we are all in a creative process. God is taking us Beyond Human, as Justin would say—restoring humanity from a lost identity back into mankind made in God’s creative image. We are becoming godlike, as sons of our heavenly Father, who is limitless. Our experiences of this truth will challenge and transform our view of life, our mindsets, and our belief systems.

So again, I just encourage you to close your eyes
And as you close your eyes
Just begin to relax

Get into a comfortable position
Into rest
Start focusing your thinking
On the Father
On the Son
On the Holy Spirit

Start to breathe very slowly
Breathe in
And breathe out very, very slowly

And as you’re breathing in
Consciously focus on breathing in
The unconditional love of the Father

Just breathe it in
Hold it
Let it energise you
Let it fill you
Let it flow through you

And breathe out
Breathe in unconditional love
So you can truly know who God is as love
Embrace it

Slowly dial everything down
To that place of rest

Focus on Father, Son and Spirit within you

Choose to open the gateways of your spirit, soul and body
As you choose, open that gateway of first love
To embrace Father, Son and Spirit
Consciously choose to drink from the source
Drink from the fountain
Drink, drawing from the life of Jesus
The Way, the Truth, the Life

Drink deeply into your innermost being
So that rivers of living water
Rivers of life
Rivers of light energy
Start to flow through the gateways
Of your spirit, soul and body

That river flows to your innermost being
To your core
The union of Father, Son and Spirit
And your body, soul and spirit
Where it meets within the Merkabah
And is focused

Let that river begin to focus
And build and energise

And then see that river flowing
To your seven energy gates
And begin to activate your crown

Activate each of those energy gates
Let it activate your heart
And let each one be energised with life

Feel—if you need insight
If you need to be able to see
In the realm of spiritual things—
That it would open that gateway
The eyes of your heart will be enlightened

If you need to speak wisdom, truth, love
That your voice gate will be activated with energy
causing you to speak life

Each of your gateways
Energised
With life
Abundance

And as you’re filled to capacity
Then see that river flowing

You have been called and chosen to engage
Those spheres of family
Those spheres of work
Maybe those spheres of church
Those spheres of different aspects of your life

That you’re creating energy and life for those fields
Energising them

You can live in that bubble of energy
Of life and abundance

Just begin to rest in that energy
In that love
In that life

416. Reconnecting Your Spirit | Finding Wholeness in God

Mike Parsons

True identity

Our spirit itself is not damaged or impure; it is simply not connected. Our spirit has never truly been disconnected from God, but our soul has been. When we realise that God is within us and we open that first love gate in our spirit, we allow God to flow into us, engaging spirit, soul and body. This marks the start of a relational engagement with God, helping us find our true identity.

Most people derive their identity from what they do in the world or from past experiences, rather than from who God says they are. Our spirit already knows who we are because our origin has always been in God. The spirit existed before our body and soul; it pre-existed before coming into the body, but entered into a state of disconnection when it did.

Into union

God desires to reveal himself in a way that reconnects us, making us whole and bringing us into union with him—spirit, soul and body. When this union occurs, life flows like rivers of living water, an abundant life from the inside out. Instead of allowing external experiences to shape our inner life, our inner life should shape our external experience. This is God’s intention for us.

We can cultivate our spirit and increase our spiritual capacity by focusing on our spiritual senses rather than our physical and soul senses. This is a meditative practice—meditating on the spirit, its abilities and senses. As we do this, our spiritual senses grow and develop, allowing us to operate intuitively in the spirit rather than relying solely on cognitive processing.

Through practice

Some may believe that the spirit can be damaged, but I do not. I believe the spirit has never been damaged or occupied by anything other than God. However, this does not mean we automatically function through the spirit, as we often lack the training and understanding to do so. Hebrews teaches us that through practice, we can train our senses to discern. This applies to both our physical and soul senses, aligning them with our spiritual senses and prioritising spiritual understanding over cognitive processes.

When we engage in the spirit, it acts as a filter for external influences, offering insight before the soul interprets them. Our goal is to discern through the spirit rather than relying solely on memory, logic, reason or cognitive understanding. Developing this spiritual discernment takes time, as we have often lived with the soul as the dominant force in determining how we act, think and feel.

To shift this, we must cultivate a new framework of thinking and acting from our spiritual senses rather than allowing our physical and soul senses to take the lead. This process requires patience and practice, but the transformation is profound, enabling us to live in abundance and alignment with God’s purpose for us.

410. Mastering Energy Generation

Mike Parsons –

Fatigue and creative energy

Many people don’t know how to generate the energy needed to live day to day. They feel tired, weary and drained, lacking both creative energy and the vitality required for their daily lives. This happens because they don’t know how to focus the abundant life that exists at the core of their innermost being. They don’t know how to generate, activate and channel that energy effectively.

We have energy gates within our body that can facilitate this process, but most people are unaware of how to open and activate them. This isn’t something commonly taught—especially within Christian circles. In fact, many evangelicals would be horrified at the mere mention of “energy gates,” dismissing it as New Age or something strange they want nothing to do with.

Yet, in reality, they are missing out on a crucial part of how we were designed to function. Learning to generate and direct energy isn’t some mystical or foreign concept—it’s about understanding how to channel living water, or what some might call light energy, into our daily lives. There are many analogies for it, but we are talking about spiritual life—abundant spiritual life—flowing from within us.

Energy gates

Most people don’t even realise that they have gateways within their spirit, soul and body that are designed to allow this life force to flow freely. Instead of experiencing the full flood of abundant life, they live on a trickle—because they’ve never been taught how to open these gateways. In fact, many Christians have been taught the exact opposite, which is why so many struggle to understand the flow of life and energy within them.

They’ve never been taught that they are a tri-part being—spirit, soul and body—and that all three must function in union. They don’t know how to activate and open these inner doors so that they can live in a continuous state of being in communion with life itself.

Jesus is in us, the Spirit is in us, and the Father dwells within us. But are we truly embracing that? Or are we searching for an external source—for someone else to give us what we feel we lack?

A critique of traditional teachings

Many people seek healing by looking for an external impartation—someone to lay hands on them and transfer an anointed charge of energy that will heal them. But what happens afterwards? Many people who receive healing end up sick again or even dying later because they don’t know how to sustain the healing they received. They never learned how to generate and maintain that healing within themselves. They relied on someone else to provide it, so they never developed the ability to keep it. The majority of people who minister healing don’t teach others how to maintain health and well-being—they simply move on after laying hands and praying.

There are genuine people who operate in these gifts, and they see real miracles and healings. But how many of those healed return a year later to testify that they are still well? If the root causes of their sickness remain unaddressed, the healing is often temporary. Unless they deal with the underlying factors—whether physical, emotional or spiritual—the illness can return.

Unlocking abundant life energy

What we really need is to teach people how to live in abundant life, how to embrace well-being as a way of life, rather than just seeking instant healing. Abundance isn’t just about financial wealth—it’s about emotional, spiritual and physical wealth. It’s about living in a state of fullness.

Jesus promised us abundant life, but the enemy seeks to rob, kill and destroy. If he can keep people from knowing the truth, if he can convince them to believe lies, then they will never live in the abundance that is already theirs. They have been robbed without even realising it.

It all comes down to our relationship with God as the source of life. What source are we drinking from? Are we drawing from the eternal fountain of life within us, or are we relying on external sources? Are we looking to church, ministries, or Christian teachings instead of directly connecting with Jesus?

Jesus said, “If you drink the water I give you, rivers of living water will flow from within you.” He was speaking about the Spirit—the very life of God within us. That is the source we need to draw from. It’s not about following techniques for healing or looking for external solutions—it’s about living in the overflow of life itself.

And that is only possible through relationship. It’s not a formula. It’s not a ritual. It’s a relationship—a deep, ongoing connection—with the source of life.

403. So you think the ‘Word of God’ is the Bible? Think again!

Mike Parsons

The Bible, the Word of God?

I couldn’t move beyond, as long as I was restricted by my mindset and belief system, which was deeply rooted in evangelicalism. For years, I held the absurd notion that certain Bible verses referred to the Bible itself as the “Word of God.” But none of those verses mean the Bible, even though my deceptive sola scriptura programming led me to believe they did. I read the text and interpreted it in the way I had always been taught.

The Bible is a collection of writings, compiled over centuries, that wasn’t formally assembled until around AD 385. It couldn’t possibly refer to itself as the “Word of God” because it didn’t exist in its current form. Those who wrote its books had no idea they would one day be gathered into a single volume called The Holy Bible. That title was given by man—not by the Bible itself, and certainly not by God.

Misunderstood verses

Here are some examples of verses I misunderstood because of my conditioning:

Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” I immediately assumed ‘word’ referred to the Bible.

Ephesians 5:26: “That He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.” Again, I thought ‘word’ meant the Bible—it doesn’t.

Ephesians 6:17: “Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” I thought of the Bible as the ‘sword of the Spirit.’ But in reality, Jesus is the Word of God, and the words He speaks are the Word of God. This verse doesn’t refer to the Bible. My children even played a computer game where you would ‘draw your sword,’ which was portrayed as the Bible. You’d take it out from under your arm and use it as the ‘Sword of the Spirit.’ That just reinforced the idea that the Bible itself was the weapon, which was completely inaccurate.

1 Timothy 4:5: “For it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.” To an evangelical, as soon as ‘word of God’ and ‘prayer’ are mentioned in the same sentence, it automatically means the Bible and prayer—because that’s what we were taught.

2 Timothy 2:15: “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” Again, I was conditioned to interpret ‘word of truth’ as the Bible. In the King James Version, it even says ‘study to show thyself approved,’ which led to the belief that studying the Bible was what made you acceptable to God. But that’s not what it means at all.

We need to embrace a deeper understanding. Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and they follow Me.” He didn’t say, “By reading the words in the Bible.” It’s about hearing His voice and following Him. Of course, some of the words Jesus spoke might speak to us today, but not all of them were meant for us. Many were directed to the people He was speaking to at the time.

Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit.” I thought this meant I had to use the Bible to separate my soul and spirit. When I heard teachings about soul and spirit separation, I believed this was something I had to do. Thankfully, God had a completely different way. Jesus, as the living and active Word of God, was able to separate my soul and spirit and reintegrate me into wholeness.

2 Corinthians 3:18: “But we all, with unveiled faces, look as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” When I read this, I had no idea it meant I could look into God’s face and see Him directly—face to face—and be transformed by the image reflected back to me. I thought it meant looking into the Bible and trying to identify the image of God in it so I could imitate it. I was so caught up in this evangelical belief system.

Hebrews 6:5: “And have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come.” Again, I interpreted ‘word of God’ as the Bible. But I don’t see it that way now.

1 Peter 1:23: “You have been born again, not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.” Once more, I could only see this as referring to the Bible, rather than to Jesus—the living and enduring Word of God in me, bringing life.

1 John 2:14 says, “I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.”

When preaching on this, I would have said something like, “You need the Word of God! You need to feed on the Bible! You need to read it daily so that it’s in you, and then you’ll overcome the evil one and grow strong.” But the reality is that the ‘Word of God’ in this verse refers to Jesus, who is in us. He has already overcome the evil one, and we overcome through Him. At the time, I would have thought John’s letters—now included in the Bible—were the key to their strength. However, their strength came not from intellectual knowledge, but from their personal, experiential knowledge of Him.

Titus 2:5, which instructs women “to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, and subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonoured,” was another verse I misunderstood. I was taught this meant wives needed to submit to their husbands to avoid bringing dishonour to the Bible. But let’s set the record straight. This isn’t about women submitting to their husbands in some rigid hierarchy. Instead, it’s about being in a mutually respectful and loving relationship. It’s about mutual submission in the context of Christ’s example. The focus is on living in a way that honours God, not enforcing roles for the sake of protecting a book. Jesus is the Living Word of God, and He calls us into relationship with Him.

When we talk about the ‘Word of God,’ it’s essential to recognise that this primarily refers to Jesus, not the Bible. God’s words, whether spoken directly to us today or recorded in Scripture, can be meaningful. But the emphasis must remain on Jesus, the Living Word, who is still speaking and guiding us. He wants us to hear His voice and follow Him.

All God-breathed writings

Now, let’s address 2 Timothy 3:16, a verse often quoted in evangelical circles: “All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness.” This verse is frequently used to argue that the entire Bible is inspired, infallible, and inerrant. However, there are several issues with how this verse is traditionally interpreted.

First, the word ‘all’ doesn’t mean everything indiscriminately. Second, the term ‘scripture’ is often mistranslated with a capital ‘S,’ implying it refers to the entire Bible. The original text doesn’t imply this. In fact, when this was written, the Bible as we know it didn’t even exist—it wouldn’t be compiled for another 300 years.

Let me read this verse from Young’s Literal Translation, which translates it as: “Every writing God-breathed is profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that is in righteousness.” Notice the difference? It says every God-breathed writing is useful—not that every part of the Bible is God-breathed, nor that it refers specifically to the Bible at all.

This means that writings inspired by God—whether ancient or modern—are profitable and beneficial. God is still breathing inspiration into people today, and those writings can be just as useful for teaching, guidance and correction as any ancient text. This isn’t about elevating the Bible to an infallible status but recognising the broader scope of God’s inspiration.

God is still breathing inspiration into people today, and those writings can be just as useful for teaching, guidance and correction as any ancient text.

Unfortunately, I was conditioned to believe that this verse proved the Bible was infallible, inerrant and the ultimate authority. The evangelical mantra reinforced this: “The Bible is inerrant, infallible, and inspired.” But when you take a closer look, 2 Timothy 3:16 doesn’t say anything about the Bible being inerrant or infallible. It simply states that inspired writings—those breathed by God—are beneficial.

We must break free from the deception of assuming these verses mean something they don’t. God is still speaking today, and the Living Word—Jesus—continues to guide and transform us through His voice and presence.

So let’s take a few minutes to engage with God, with unconditional love.

Close your eyes,
begin to still your heart,
and still your mind.

Start to slow down your breathing.

Focus your thinking on God.
Focus your thinking on engaging unconditional love.

Breathe in deeply.
And as you breathe in,
you are breathing in
the unconditional love of the Father for you
as his child.

Wait in that place.
Be still.
Let the love of God,
that unconditional love,
rest on you.

Let Him reveal Himself
as pure, unconditional love.

Perhaps now,
you want to ask Jesus, as the Truth,
to speak something specific to you?

“You have heard it said,
But I say unto you.”
Maybe some belief system,
maybe the way you’ve looked at God,
maybe the way you have been programmed
with religious thinking, 
some mindset or belief system.

Open up your heart.
Ask Jesus, as the Truth,
the Living, Active Word of God,
to show you something
where is He saying,
“You’ve heard it said, you believe this
but I am saying unto you… this.”

Listen to His voice,
revealing something at this moment
that will bring truth to you.
Just let that frequency of his voice engage you.

400. Living in Union with God: Embracing Our Original Design

Mike Parsons

God wants to take it deeper

As individuals and as humanity as a whole, all we, like sheep, have gone astray, following our own path of independence. But God proactively came to seek and save that which was lost. The Good Shepherd sought out the lost sheep—and still does. He is continually seeking those who are living in lost identity. And a lot of Christians are still living in lost identity, even though they have a relationship with God at a certain level. Whatever level of relationship we have, God wants to take it deeper. He doesn’t want us to remain in the same place.

Mankind may have turned away from God to live in that lost identity and independence, but God never turned away from us. God, as Father, has always seen us as His children through the lens of love. He has always desired that we all return to our first love—our origin. This is the key, and there are a number of Bible verses that speak about this love and its depth. , For example,

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, neither things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing [including ourselves] will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).

That’s quite a statement, but it’s based in God and not in us. It’s not based on our ability to maintain a certain standard. It’s purely a statement of God’s grace, mercy and love. The Mirror Bible puts it like this:

This is my conviction: no threat—whether it be in death or life, be it angelic beings, demon powers, or political principalities, nothing known to us at this time or even in the unknown future, no dimension of any calculation in time or space, nor any device yet to be invented—has what it takes to separate us from the love of God demonstrated in Christ Jesus, our ultimate authority (Romans 8:38-39 Mirror).

Relationship

When we go back through Romans 8, we see there are a number of things that lead up to that passage which are talking about our relationship with God. Romans 8:14 says:

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons and daughters of God.

As we come into union with Him, joined to God—not separated from Him in our own understanding—we become one spirit with Him. This union enables our spirit to mature, to grow, and to develop into who we were always intended to be. It helps us discover who we were before we came here.

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again… (Romans 8:15a).

Yet how many people became Christians and, through the church or religion, ended up back in fear—living in works of appeasement to an angry God? But God is a loving Father. He wants us to know the truth: we are sons and daughters.

… but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters, by which we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’ (Romans 8:15b).

This was impossible under the old covenant. Crying out “Abba, Father” is a new covenant reality. Jesus came to reveal His relationship with His Father so that it could become our relationship with our Father too.

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8:16).

This is what happens in this union: the Spirit testifies to our innermost being, confirming that we are children of God. Not only that, but we always have been; we always will be—we will never, ever not be children of God.

And if children, heirs also—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. (Romans 8:17).

Now, this is where the way this is written may challenge some people because it uses the word ‘if.’ However, this ‘if’ is not conditional, as though we need to do something to make it happen. Instead, it is a declarative statement, affirming that something has already taken place: because we are children, we are heirs. Heirs of what? Heirs of God Himself and fellow heirs, co-heirs with Christ in the whole of creation. And “if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him,” is not suggesting that we must endure suffering to earn glory. Instead, it means that we identify with His sufferings because He went through them for us. We don’t have to go through it, other than by identifying with Him.

We originate in God

So if we go back again and read those verses in the Mirror Bible:

The original life of the Father revealed in His Son is the life the Spirit now conducts within us.

So the spirit is now looking, with the Father and the Son, to reveal our original origin and identity, the original life that He intended us to
have as children of God in relationship.

Slavery is such a poor substitute for sonship. They are opposites. The one leads forcibly through fear, while sonship responds fondly to Abba, Father.

This is what God desires: for us to engage with Him as Abba, Father, Daddy, without fear—resting instead in wonderful peace and intimacy.

Verse 16:
His Spirit resonates within our spirit to confirm the fact that we originate in God.

Through this process, God is showing us our origin—who we really are, from the beginning, so that who we are now will be in alignment with who we were in the beginning, not as a product of our lives up to this point.

Because we are His offspring, we qualify to be heirs. This isn’t something we earn—it’s purely by grace. God Himself is our portion. We co-inherit with Christ, since we were represented and included in His suffering. This is very different than us going through suffering. We were already included in His suffering, and we equally participate in the glory of His resurrection. This isn’t something that happens in ‘Glory’ (as they used to call heaven); this is something that can happen now—because as He has been resurrected, so also we died with Him and we are now alive with Him, to fully embrace the glory of that resurrection power that reveals who we really are. You could say that ‘who we really are’ is our glory. It is our true identity, the clothing of that glorious nature we have as children of God.
