There are many questions we should be asking and signs we should be looking for. If God is doing something—like Enoch appearing or other unusual things—what is that about? I cannot give a hard, fast answer, but I do believe God is challenging us to think and to question what we believe. What are the foundations of our lives and the way we live? Are they kingdom foundations, or are they cultural?
If they are cultural and oppose God’s kingdom, which is love, then we must ask, where is my heart? Is it aligned with God’s heart, or with the culture where I live? I do not want to be known culturally as British. Yes, I was born in Britain, it is on my passport, but I do not want to be subject to the culture of Britain if it is anti-kingdom. I would never call myself a British Christian, or even a Christian. I just want to be seen as a follower of God, of the Father.
So, what might cause me to have views which may be contradictory to the kingdom? We need to ask: what has shaped my life, my thinking, my belief systems, my worldview? Are they aligned with God’s heart, or do they need deconstruction? I see three main areas where God is challenging people (there may be more): religious deconstruction, political deconstruction, and financial deconstruction. A friend of mine said God was taking him through those things, and I realised he was doing the same with me. I now know to look at things differently in those areas and make sure that I am not thinking in a cultural way that puts me into contradiction to God.
So, financially, my views have changed from religious rules about tithing to simply asking, “God, what do you want me to do?” Politically, I had to face assumptions about why I voted as I did. I had assumed God agreed with me, but he showed me I had never asked him. I had to be completely unravelled and deconstructed in that area. Now I ask, “Is there a way you want me to vote?” And if he says it does not matter, then I examine my own heart and motives. Each of us may have a different way of looking at that question.
God wants our whole mindset aligned with the kingdom and with one another, to become one mind, the mind of Christ. That requires major shifts, deconstruction, and honest questioning of why we think, believe and act as we do. Most people never really consider these things, but I believe it is part of the process God is taking us through so that heaven can be established on earth.
For the past ten years, God has been deconstructing most of my old assumptions. My thinking has changed in many areas. This does not mean there are simple answers, because each of us must discover what God is asking of us in our own sonship. But it does mean we must begin to make decisions based not on selfishness, economics or cultural conditioning, but on God’s heart.
Strong opinions are often shaped by culture rather than by God. Even in raising my children, I tried to let them think for themselves, yet they still reflected my political views. That made me wonder whether I had been more vocal than I thought. The key is not to pass on political perspectives but to help people find God’s heart.
Some people vote based on economics, others on compassion, but the real question is whether our choices reflect God’s heart or merely our conditioning. I am not convinced God is as invested in political systems as solutions as we might think. Much of the prophetic movement seems to have become politicised in a way it never was 20 years or so ago, perhaps out of disillusionment when promised revivals did not happen as expected. Whatever the reason, it seems to have become blind to the real issues in some way…

We only need to focus on doing what we are meant to do, which is to live out who we truly are in our identity. We already know enough to begin legislating for peace, facilitating transition, bringing love, spreading enlightenment, and helping people rediscover the true nature of God. We are part of this ongoing process—the progressive unveiling of truth—and we are called to be a light to the world.
While we may not be operating in the councils of heaven or involved in various galactic affairs, we can still play our part. We can simply be who we were always meant to be, and through that, bring about change. This doesn’t require us to know everything—indeed, trying to know all things would be impossible! We just need to focus on our own part.
We don’t need superstars
If our role is to help others, then it might involve providing discernment to guide them in understanding where they are and how they can find their own path. That is the key: we don’t need superstars or fame-seekers. We want people who are content being unknown—those who are not motivated by fortune or ego but who quietly work behind the scenes, doing their part faithfully.
Of course, there will be visible faces who inspire others, but the majority of the work is done by those unseen. There are those who have been around for hundreds of years—whether in caves, like the desert fathers, or elsewhere—continuing their work. As more people become enlightened in this way, they don’t die and have to start over after 70 or 80 years; instead, they continue their work steadfastly. Right now, there are individuals who are hundreds of years old, yet no one knows where they are or what they are doing, because they are not there to be known—they are there to function as a steady voice and consistent expression of God’s kingdom in love. That is how God usually operates.
When Elijah lamented that he was the only faithful one left, God told him, “You’re not alone—there are 4,000 others still faithful.” God is always at work, and if we cooperate with Him and live out our true identity, we will be part of this movement to bring about change and establish God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

The cloak of mystery was something the Father described to me when I was engaging with fallen angelic beings, looking to help them find restoration. The Father essentially said, “You can bring them into a place”—like a cloud of darkness around Him—that He described as the cloak of mystery.
Now, a cloak is something you put on, and mystery is something you do not understand. So, in a sense, I do not fully understand it—but I did embrace what He said. What I felt, for me, was that when I engaged a fallen being, I could surround them with my spirit and bring them into a place—not within me, but within this cloak of mystery—which became a safe space for them to begin discovering where they fitted within God’s kingdom and all that entailed.
When I engaged with some of these beings, they were afraid of what might happen to them—especially from others still aligned with their previous order or hierarchy. They were genuinely fearful, so they needed a safe place in which to explore a restored relationship with God and begin rediscovering their true identity. This cloak of mystery provided that kind of sanctuary.
Just as I go into the realm of light in perfection, I entered that realm through a dark cloud of mystery. Within that, I found a place where I could engage with God—dwelling and abiding face to face, heart to heart with the Father. It was, in a way, a hidden place—a secret place. So, you could say that the cloak of mystery is a kind of secret place—hidden from the view of others—so that these beings could be safe as they found their place.
Creating a Safe Space
Is this something for others too? I believe so. If you are called to engage with fallen beings—if that is part of your journey—and you need to convince them that it is safe to pursue restoration, then you could use this as well.
I engaged with them in my spirit, allowing them to sense the genuineness of my love and to know that I was sincere in what I was offering. They could feel and recognise the truth in it.
The cloak of mystery was not just something I wore or carried. It was an actual place—a secret place—not just for my benefit, but for theirs. It became a space I could invite them into for their sake. It was somewhere they could go, be hidden, and begin the journey of restoration—safe and secure—before being released into God’s purposes. I cannot say exactly where it is, but I know it is within the realm of God’s kingdom. It is not beyond that—into the kingdom of heaven or beyond—but very much within the kingdom.
I engaged with it also in the atmosphere of the earth. It felt like a space of safety and security that God Himself called the cloak of mystery. They would be clothed in mystery—clothed, if you like, in darkness—which would hide them from the view of those who might wish them harm. That was key.
Restoration and Return
I believe that this place is available for all of us to use—to introduce beings to it, helping them come into a place where they can be safe and secure.
Some of them embraced the restoration of their destiny and then went on into the service of God. Others returned to the place of darkness to inform others of what was happening—to reveal what strategies were being employed and how things had changed. Different outcomes took place depending on the individual being’s journey through restoration.
Hopefully, that gives some insight. I do not claim to understand everything about it. But again, I encourage you to go back to God. Ask Him to show you how to use this, and what to do if you are engaging in that kind of work. As with anything in the kingdom, the more you use it, the more comfortable and familiar it becomes—and the easier it is to outwork.
A mandate from God is relational. I used to ask God for a daily mandate, but He led me away from that approach and now I focus on spending time with Him heart to heart. When I align with His heart, I naturally sense His guidance throughout the day and in different situations. Knowing the Father’s heart gives me the freedom to express it creatively through who I am, so I no longer need to seek mandates directly; I engage with His heart and follow the desires He reveals.
You cannot force someone else to follow God’s will because God does not work that way. The key is creating an environment where people can discover God’s desire for themselves; it’s not about telling them what to do but encouraging them to find their own identity and path in God. Love is central to this—showing unconditional love helps people connect with God more easily.
Understanding God’s heart is the foundation of a mandate, which essentially grants permission to carry out His will. And a blueprint—a pattern for what God wants to build—may not arrive fully formed. Timing matters—just because God shows you something does not mean you should act on it immediately: preparation and personal growth are often necessary first.
Love is not passive; it sometimes requires speaking truth, even when that is difficult. I once helped two couples seeking to establish an ekklesia: they had received the same vision but interpreted it differently, and their misalignment ultimately meant they were unable to work together. Clear communication and alignment are essential at the beginning of any such joint venture: if you are working with others on a blueprint, you need a solid foundation based on relationship and shared understanding. If one group wants to build a car on a production line and another wants to craft it by hand, conflict is inevitable unless the approach is agreed upon from the start. Blueprints often involve multiple people because God rarely intends for us to work alone: though the spiritual side may be clear, the practical side can be complicated, because people are involved!
Unity, not uniformity
I tend to avoid elitist thinking. Ideas like being part of a special group or achieving a higher level of spirituality do not resonate with me. God loves us all equally and even if he has different roles for us, no one is more valuable than another. We are all on a journey, and different perspectives are best respected, not treated as inferior – so if a group starts excluding others based on beliefs or perceived superiority, that is a warning sign.
Love is the standard for measuring any group or movement. Love is unconditional, inclusive, and honours differences rather than creating divisions. A group focused on money or controlled by a dominating personality is another red flag. True leadership fosters accountability and allows people to express their beliefs without pressure to conform.
Even when we disagree
God’s desire is for unity, not uniformity. We are all part of one family, even if some people do not yet recognise it. Differences are to be valued, not erased: God’s design is multifaceted, and diversity reflects His nature. It is not about agreement on doctrines but about honouring relationship above needing to be right. True maturity means maintaining connection even when we disagree, because relationship matters far more than winning an argument or proving a point.
Of course, God can transform us when there are things in our lives that cause harm, but acceptance of one another is not dependent on agreeing with certain doctrines or creeds. God’s covenant with Abraham, fulfilled through Jesus, was to bless all families of the earth—not just some. We need to treat everyone as family, even when we disagree.
Too often, people are treated as enemies over minor disagreements. Most major doctrinal issues were settled long ago, yet divisions continue over relatively small matters. Unity is the priority. Jesus said the world would recognise His followers by their love for one another, not their theological accuracy. Again, unity does not mean uniformity—it means valuing relationship over being right.
Revelation of the Merkabah
On my journey, I learned about the functions of my spirit, soul and body, but they initially felt separate. Over time, I discovered that at the core of my being there are portals that connect me to where I am in the spirit and to where God is in the spirit. This connection transcends dimensions and physical locations—wherever I am, I am instantly connected because my spirit, soul and body are entangled together. This quantum entanglement means that even if there are dimensional shifts, there is no actual distance. I am one and whole wherever I am, never separated from God or creation.
This understanding unfolded through the revelation of the Merkabah—not as a literal ‘chariot’ (though that is an accurate translation of the word), but as a symbol of a state of being that carries me into different dimensions, identities and positions. It is no longer about travelling externally to reach heaven but realising that I am already connected within. And it is my state of consciousness, awareness and identity that fosters that connection, not anything external.
God’s kingdom is filling the earth
This ties into the restoration of all things. Our normal view of life is in linear time, but I view it rather as a continuum where God’s kingdom has been expanding and filling the earth since Jesus established it. Like leaven working through dough, you do not see the rise at first, but the process is underway. God has been at work throughout history, even if the fullness is only becoming visible now.
Sons of God have been revealed throughout history, often labelled ‘mystics’, and known to us or unknown. Their connection to creation has helped keep things steady, even when the world seemed chaotic. We are now at a point where the leaven has begun to rise more visibly, but this is a continuation, not a sudden breakthrough. The responsibility we have is to engage with this revelation and steward it faithfully.
Our role is to respond to creation’s groaning by bringing it into greater freedom. This requires change and transformation—a process guided by Jesus as our High Priest. The fire of God’s loving presence is not destructive but refining and purifying, transforming us and shaping us into maturity. There is nothing to fear from this fire; it is a blessing that brings us into wholeness and deeper alignment with God’s heart and purpose.

‘Not having an agenda’ when you do have one is quite difficult, because you do have an agenda: you want to find healing.
The shift happens when you align with the Father’s intention. Instead of thinking, “I want to be healed,” you rest in the reality of “I am healed.” Symptoms may persist, but they will follow your position of rest.
Jesus said, “Pray, believing you’ve received, and you will receive.” When you truly know the Father’s intention and accept healing as your inheritance, your body will align with your belief. But this can’t come from striving—it starts with accepting what God has already declared true.
Most people believe it when they’ve received it, rather than before they’ve received it; and it works when you believe it before you have actually manifested it, because that is what brings the manifestation. And people get disappointed because the symptoms are still there. They may say “I’m healed,” but actually they’re in denial.
“Well, I’m healed,”
“Do you still have the symptoms?”
“Yes”
“Okay, so are you healed or are you not healed?”
“Well…”
And you get all this muddled mixture of thoughts and feelings around it. And I know when I speak to someone and they’re not in denial: they can honestly say “There are still symptoms in my body but my body is aligning with how I think.”
You can consciously choose to call that into being. Therefore the frequency of your words will begin to vibrate your body into alignment with it, when you’re at rest in it. So a lot of people say, “Renew your mind” and they confess scripture; they are just speaking, they are not actually renewing their mind. You can’t renew your own mind, your mind gets renewed when you agree with God’s mind.
Striving to believe often hinders the manifestation. So it’s getting that fine balance… it is the truth that you are healed, but it might not be the fact within your present situation. When the truth is more true to you than the symptoms that you might still have, that is the point where things begin to change.
My testimony of healing from Ménière’s disease
Years ago, I had Ménière’s disease, which caused vertigo and other symptoms. This was the 1early 1990s, and I went on a quest for healing, because I didn’t know what I believed about it. I’d been prayed for many times and received healing, so I knew God could heal. I knew people could lay hands on me – and I’d been healed. But none of that worked in this situation. God was trying to get me to look at “What do you really believe about healing?”
So I did what I knew to do, then: I went back and found every Bible verse on healing, and looked at them, and discovered some things that were different from what I’d believed. Because at that point I was believing that healing was in God’s Kingdom, but that we were still in the ‘now, and the not yet’ of God’s Kingdom; so sometimes God would heal and sometimes not. Well, that’s not really helpful, you know, because what if I am is the one where it doesn’t happen, and I’m stuck?
So I realised that no, God IS my healer, it’s one of His names. Jesus actually took my sickness and disease when He died so I don’t have to have it. That sickness died when I died with Him.
So why am I not just perfectly whole? Well, because even though I might actually choose to believe that, my physical body has to come into agreement; therefore some change needs to take place within my physical being to align with where I am in that place of rest, knowing the truth. The truth you know will set you free, and you have to know by experience.
Now, that doesn’t mean you have to experience the healing to know the healing; you have to experience what God says and where you are in the experience with God. So you are resting in that reality; it is the truth. There is no double-mindedness; there is no doubt or unbelief; it is the truth, and no one could convince you otherwise – even the symptoms that you might still have – and therefore you are at rest in it. “I’m not striving for it; I know it’s the truth that will bring about the reality.”
But it often takes some time to get to that point because we have to overcome the battle of the thoughts and the symptoms to get to that point where we “know that we know.” And eventually, after about three years of learning all about healing, learning about God, learning about what Jesus did on the cross, learning how that all applied, I got to the point where I was at rest.
I never said “Well, I am healed.” It is more that I was thinking, “That is the truth, so I’m going to focus on what is true rather than what might be the present fact.” So the present reality didn’t affect what I saw as being my true reality, which was to be whole, to be healed. And eventually, after resting in that place for quite a while, I was content in it. I was still taking medication, because it is dangerous to drive if you’re going to get vertigo attacks and things like that. It wasn’t pleasant medication, but I was taking it.
And one day I had the breakthrough, in that something changed physically in my ears. I had deafness and tinnitus in one ear – severely – and I could hardly hear anything other than muffled sound. The tinnitus was quite pronounced. And I was listening to some music – I was in a conference actually, in a worship conference, and all of a sudden it was as if “Who turned the PA up?” You see, it was as if the volume just went up and I thought “Wow!!!” And then I realised, “I don’t think anyone else is noticing this, it must be me!” And then I felt God say, “Now you can throw the medication away.” And I did. I never took another tablet and never had another vertigo attack or anything else, and my hearing was fine.
PLEASE NOTE: We strongly advise you to consult a suitably qualified health professional before discontinuing any medication that has been prescribed for you.
But it took a number of years to get to that point and then it took months living at that point until the reality was there. And, you know, for me it was a dramatic thing – it was like BANG! OH! It’s done! But it’s not always that way. Sometimes it’s just that the process gets to the point where you just realise “Oh, can’t hear anything wrong in my ear anymore,” or “my hearing’s improved.” Sometimes it just creeps up on you and sometimes it’s progressive in that it gets better and continues to get better until it’s completely healed.
You know, Jesus sent the lepers to the Temple to show themselves to the priests, and it happened along the way. As they were walking, they still bore the signs of leprosy. Perhaps it faded gradually with each step, or maybe they were simply walking when, all at once, they realised it was gone. But eventually they showed themselves to the priests… (we know one of them definitely did, because he came back and said thank you. We’re not really sure about the others – they may have been healed and just not bothered to come back and thank Jesus, or they may have not, because on the way they may have had doubt and unbelief and not followed through the process – who knows?) But we know definitely that the one person did: he was able to show himself to the priest and the priest pronounced him healed, or whole.
So it takes time, and no one can really determine exactly what the process is for every individual, but it does work.

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.

Realised eschatology, for me, is also heading for an understanding of Christian universalism. The same scriptures Jesus referred to concerning hell (Gehenna) are in the same passage as those that speak of the end of the age – not the end of the world, but the conclusion of their Old Covenant age. People faced being cast into Gehenna if they remained in Jerusalem when the Roman armies invaded. They would be crucified, and a few hundred thousand were thrown into the literal Gehenna.
This is the concept of hell, as commonly understood in English. Of course, Christian Universalists would say hell is a different thing, and some deny its existence altogether. Personally, I see it as a place where those who haven’t come to know Jesus in life still have the opportunity to choose him after death – death is not the end of choice. Rather than a realm of punishment and torment, I see it as the fire of God’s loving presence which purifies and refines.
The scriptures that mention Gehenna portray it as a consequence of staying entrenched in the old covenant ways, not some future judgment scenario. It was a warning of a physical manifestation of death. Jesus warned his followers to flee Jerusalem when they saw certain signs: they understood this and ran to the hills, to find safety in Pella. By heeding his words, they were physically saved from the destruction that befell Jerusalem.
Signs
All that being said, I believe God introduces concepts like this to steer the church back to first principles, into a deeper relationship in which we experience Him intimately, face to face. Once we do, we no longer need the signs which pointed us towards this reality.
Experiential connection
In my preaching of the gospel, I aim to introduce people to Jesus in a way that facilitates a tangible, experiential connection with the Father. It is only through this intimate relationship that someone can truly understand and experience God’s unconditional love, find spiritual healing and wholeness, and embrace their identity and inheritance as a child of God. I believe God is gradually weaning us off an over-reliance on healings and miracles, so we can live in mystical experience with Him. This shift is not about abandoning miraculous manifestations altogether but that we use them for the purpose of outworking what God is doing in the earth.
We have the ability to govern and rule, to establish the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. This process begins first within our own lives, then thorough our lives, and ultimately leads to the creation of places on earth which do not operate under the government of earth but under the government of heaven. There will be no sickness there, no disease, no lack, no poverty: nothing contradictory to the fullness of life as children of God.
Cultivating relationship
In the Mystic movement, there is a shift away from seeking outward manifestations like healings towards cultivating a deeper relationship with God in which health and wholeness naturally flow, and the focus is no longer on individuals performing healing. God is our healer.
Early Christians underwent a profound shift in their understanding of God, moving moved away from viewing Him through the lens of an outdated religious and political system. Instead, Jesus revealed God as love incarnate, challenging their preconceptions and inviting them into a relational encounter with the Father. He came to undo their whole understanding of God from an Old Covenant mentality. This shift from a legalistic mindset to one grounded in relationship and experience to which Jesus is the door, empowered them to operate in sonship, seated in heavenly places, and to manifest the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
The God that we know
When we are introducing the reality of who God is, we do not need to do so through miraculous healing, but through introducing the God that we know. They can experience the God that they will then know, and then they can enter into that life themselves. Now I am not saying there are not amazing things. I have done all sorts of transrelocation, time miracles and other things; but in the purposes of outworking my relationship with God, not to prove who God is or to demonstrate to others how good God is. I can help them experience God themselves, so they are not dependent on me testifying by doing anything like that.
Key takeaway
Preaching the gospel is about leading people to encounter the God we know, so that they can embark on their own journey of discovering His love and life-changing power for themselves.

Everything, including our solar system, our own and distant galaxies, and even other dimensions, was created by the Father through Jesus for Jesus. All the beings connected to all of these were reconciled to God through the blood of the Cross. Therefore the beings themselves are not the issue; it is their actions that matter. Some constellations now lack Guardians, and can be vulnerable to beings from other dimensions setting up bases.
Engaging in restoring beings and constellations, reassigning Guardians, and preventing incursions is crucial. The Earth Shield, operational for the past few years, protects Earth from fallen beings and their dimensional incursions. Not all constellations have fallen beings; many are associated with angelic beings and planets that can be engaged for restoration.
There is no need for fear; discernment is essential in each situation. Changes observed in celestial bodies align with ongoing restoration. The cosmos holds vast opportunities; we, as sons of God, have a role in expanding God’s government of peace throughout the cosmos, starting with our solar system and then reaching out far beyond.
Key Takeaway
Sons Arise! The sons of God have an important part to play in expanding God’s government of peace throughout the cosmos.

In a world where what passes for ‘love’ often comes with strings attached, showing unconditional love can make a real impact. A while ago, someone sent me a link to a testimony that highlights the incredible result of demonstrating unconditional love in a real-world setting.
In a radio interview, Riaan Swiegelaar, the co-founder of the South African Satanic Church, said he did not believe that Jesus Christ existed. Afterwards, a lady from the radio station went up to him and just gave him a hug. He did not know it at the time, but she was a Christian. A week later, while he was doing a ritual with the SASC council, Jesus appeared before him. Riaan challenged Him to prove He was Jesus, and was flooded with the most beautiful love and energy, which he recognised from the hug he had received the week before.
Now Riaan has a relationship with Jesus, converses with Him every day, and has resigned from his position in the Satanic Church. “I have for a long time believed that I am not worthy of God’s grace because I am gay. But the Kingdom of God is not a gated community, the kingdom of God is open to everybody,” he says.
Unconditional love has the power to break down barriers and transform even the most hardened hearts. Sadly, some reaction to this story has not been so accepting: Did he truly repent? Did he actually confess? Is he really a believer? Is he ‘saved’?
Grace and works
Most of us would agree that salvation is not dependent on our works, but on the unconditional love and limitless grace of God. Yet the evangelical view of salvation I was brought up with is not grace-based at all, however much it claims to be: it requires our works. You have to believe in your heart and confess with your mouth to be saved. I tried to believe and confess but I was never sure it was good enough to please God.
We have had it the wrong way around: in reality, believing is the consequence of our experiencing God’s love and grace. Evangelical theology makes forgiveness and salvation totally dependent on what man does. But all man’s religious works are dead: they can produce no life independently of God’s grace.
Reframing Confession
Another religious misconception is the idea that we must confess our sins in order to be forgiven. Jesus did not wait for those who were crucifying Him to be sorry or ‘confess’ their sin: He asked the Father to forgive them. He had taught His disciples the importance of forgiving from the heart and now He demonstrated it for them.
This understanding of ‘confession’ is heavily influenced by Catholic doctrine and can leave us feeling sin-conscious and burdened by guilt. However, the true meaning of ‘confession’ is not dwelling on our wrongdoings, but declaring and agreeing with what God says about us. We confess our righteousness, our forgiveness, and our new identity in Christ, rather than confessing our unrighteousness as perpetual sinners. Understanding this truth releases us from the cycle of guilt and allows us to fully embrace the forgiveness and grace which is lavished upon us.
Licence to sin?
Critics of limitless grace argue that it gives us the licence to sin, suggesting that if we are forgiven regardless of our actions, then we can just go ahead and do whatever we want. This is a misunderstanding of the purpose and power of grace. It is not a free pass to continue living according to our old nature: no, instead it is receiving God’s grace that enables us to walk in the freedom of our new nature. And sin, in its true definition, refers to lost identity, not wrong actions. Wrong actions do carry consequences, but they are not God’s punishment. Jesus has already defeated sin and its wages (which Paul says are death – not eternal torment), so His mercy always triumphs and His grace is always sufficient.
Metanoia, not repentance
We have seen before how ‘repentance’ (Greek metanoia) is often portrayed as remorse, with its accompanying guilt and shame, and doing penance. However, the true essence of metanoia is about returning to our true identity and restoring our relationship with the Father. It is a transformative change of mind that aligns us with how God sees us and enables us to live in the fullness of who we were created to be. Rather than attempting to change our behaviour to earn acceptance, metanoia invites us to agree with God’s mind and embrace the truth of our identity as forgiven, righteous children of God. This shift in perspective empowers us to live a life that reflects our true nature in Christ.
Living loved is accepting the truth of being unconditionally forgiven, celebrating it in joy and rejoicing in love. If we live in the truth that we are loved and forgiven unconditionally, we do not have to fear admitting we sometimes mess up, as we are still having our minds renewed. We can be real with the Father if we are struggling with something. We do not have to run away in fear and hide from our Father as Adam did, we can run to Him. We can come boldly to the throne of grace and receive limitless grace and triumphant mercy. We are only alienated in our own minds – that is why we need deep religious deprogramming.
Life-changing power
Riaan Swiegelaar’s transformation from a leader of the Satanic Church to a follower of Jesus serves as a powerful testament to the life-changing power of unconditional love. It is through God’s grace, not our works, that we are saved. Understanding the true meaning of confession, repentance, and grace liberates us from guilt and empowers us to live in the fullness of who we are in Christ.
Let’s embrace the truth of God’s unconditional love, extend it to others, and live in the freedom and joy of our salvation.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus… (Eph 2:4-6).
When a king is ruling, he sits on a throne. That is where he has authority. Ultimately, God wants to enable us to be seated in authority in heavenly places so that we can then bring His kingdom into the earth:
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
(Matt 6:10).
God’s kingdom is concerned with heaven being manifested on earth. Heaven and earth were originally in complete alignment, but no longer. The earth is fallen from that place and therefore needs to be restored. That is God’s desire, so restoration is about bringing His will and purpose from heaven into the earth; to manifest it, to see His will at work. He does not want to control everything Himself, He encourages us as His sons to participate with Him in the process.
When we are seated, we are in a place of rest within His will and heart. Then we are able to release His will, His governmental perspective, to everything on earth. That is why it is important for us to understand heavenly government.
In heaven first
If we are going to see something established on earth, it needs to be established in heaven first. How do we do that? By exercising our role in heavenly government.
‘Kingdom’ is not just an empty word, there is a reality to government in heaven. There is a whole governmental structure of angels, archangels and other beings (including the men in white linen) operating in the courts and councils of heaven to fulfil God’s will and purpose. And there is a place for us there too.
Government is relational
Heavenly and earthly government are designed to work together. Most of us are familiar with some form of earthly government in our nation, region or city. Whatever we think about political earthly governments, the reality is that God establishes government. And if we see that any earthly government is actually opposing heaven, then we can ask Him whether He mandates us to use our position in heaven to bring about change and transformation in that earthly government.
All government begins in the relationship that is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, because that is where everything starts. It is all coming out of His heart of love, out of His desire for restoration. All of it is based in who He is. Government is an expression of the intimacy that exists within God Himself. It is all about love because God is love.
He really is. You may have been taught that God brings judgment on nations through earthquakes and floods and so on. He does not: none of that is Him. Maybe those things are spiritual consequences, or maybe we just live in a fallen world which needs restoration and those adverse weather patterns and movements of the tectonic plates are creation groaning under the weight of our lack of sonship. In that case we need to get our act together and begin to bring order and government into it all as sons of God – but in love, not in frustration or anger or with any sense of retribution or vengeance.
The wrath of God is not poured out on people, because Jesus already dealt with death (the wages of sin). There is no need for God’s wrath to be directed towards anyone, because everyone is already forgiven. But there are things which restrict us from knowing who God is and who we are. The wrath of God is poured out on whatever hinders people from knowing and responding to Him and stepping into their inheritance as His sons.
The sons of the kingdom carry government and all of us are sons of the kingdom. We all have a governmental position, whether we like it or not. Whether we understand it or know it, we have authority because we are sons.
Relationship, not a formula
Governments operate according to various principles and protocols, but in heavenly government (and in earthly government where it is a true reflection of heaven) everything is outworked relationally with God and with each other. We do not want to get tied down to formulas. Once you formularise something, you remove relationship from the equation and everything becomes legalistic. For example, sowing and reaping is a principle, not a formula. As soon as you make it a formula, ‘I sow this and I automatically reap that’ then you have excluded God and suddenly it does not bring blessing anymore. God wants us to be involved with Him relationally in the sowing and the reaping so that we receive all that is on His heart for us, and enjoy it with Him.
So there are protocols for operating in the courts of heaven and it helps if you know how each court functions. But if we engage with God and with His heart, everything we need to know and everything we need to do will come from that relationship. And then we need to work those things out in relationship with one another. The government that we have in heaven and the government we need to have on earth as a foundation to all our ekklesias (and anything else we set up) must be relational because God is relational.
Agreement, cooperation and unity
We need to be relational not functional. Things do need to function, of course; but when you do business of any kind it has to be relational, otherwise it is not going to be a true reflection of God.
Agreement, cooperation and unity are all necessary in government: between God and us and between one another. If the relationship between us and God can be problematic, our relationship with one another is even more so. We are all imperfect and we are all in the process of change and transformation, therefore we rub each other up the wrong way. We will have relational conflicts which come up to the surface and we will have to work them through. Most people do not work them through, they sweep them under the carpet and the lump under the carpet gets bigger and bigger until everyone starts stumbling over it and they cannot ignore it any longer.
We have to work everything through relationally if we are going to see government work according to God’s original intent and purpose, so that what we build here is sustainable and effective, continually full of light and life, a reflection of heaven on earth.
