447. Sending Out A Blue Light Call

Mike Parsons


[Summary of the early part of the video]

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

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

A Blue Light Call

[fuller edited transcript]

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

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

Any thoughts or suggestions?

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

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

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

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

[…]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

443. Unconditional Love – NO RECORD OF WRONGS

Mike Parsons

If you do not see the video above, please click here


Jesus came to fully reveal the Father to us as His image, and the Father in Jesus forgave us unconditionally, reconciled us to Himself, and justified us — as if we had never sinned, never gone astray, never lost our identity. He kept no record of any perceived wrongs and made us the righteousness of God in Christ. Now that is pretty amazing. That is the power of unconditional love.

He did it all. The work on the cross was finished. Jesus did everything necessary for us to have a restored relationship with God. All we have to do is come to a realisation of that reality.

Love-conscious, not sin-conscious

The Father wants us to live in love-consciousness, not sin- or lost-identity-consciousness. That is why He kept speaking to me about living loved.

To live loved is to live in awareness of unconditional love — a love that enables us to love. Life takes on a completely different perspective when we are free from the bondage of trying to keep up with the Law, or earn God’s favour through duty or obligation. That just wears everyone out. But when we live loving, we are filled with joyous expectation. Every day becomes an opportunity. And in that we can live loving: the love we have received, we can freely give.

Religion makes love and acceptance conditional — but God’s love is totally unconditional. Therefore, we must be free from religious mindsets and obligations.

No record of wrongs

1 Corinthians 13:5 — the famous chapter about love — says that love does not keep score of the sins of others. It keeps no record of wrongs. So God keeps no record of wrongs. He keeps no score of the things we might do or not do.

Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, not to punish them. Love forgave unconditionally, on the basis of what Jesus did both in eternity and in time, on the cross.

Wherever you see the words “love” or “God”, they should be completely interchangeable. We should be able to substitute the word “love” for “God” in every instance — and if we cannot, in whatever we are reading (whether it be the Bible or anything else), then we should question the validity of what we are reading.

Because God is love. And therefore, God is pure love — and pure love is God. If we are reading something that does not make sense of God being love, then we must question it, because God is Love. The issue lies with our understanding, or with what we have been taught — because God is never anything other than love.

It goes on:
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love is not jealous.
Love does not brag.
It is not arrogant.
It does not act disgracefully.
It does not seek its own benefit.
It is not provoked.
It does not keep an account of a wrong suffered.
It does not rejoice in unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth.
It keeps every confidence.
It believes all things.
It hopes all things.
It endures all things.

So if God, as love, keeps no record of wrongs — why is religion so sin-focused? Every church I was brought up in was always focused on sin and behaviour — and on how you had to maintain a standard of behaviour to be acceptable. But if we keep focusing on sin and lost behaviour, it only reaffirms our lost identity. That keeps people who think they are sinners coming back for more religious help to feel better. And of course, that never works — because religion is just an addiction. It always needs more to satisfy it. You will never truly feel righteous — never know you are righteous — if you are addicted to religion.


Unconditional Love – new book out now
Mike Parsons’ new book, Unconditional Love, is out on 20 June 2025. Order it from your favourite local or online bookseller today, or get the ebook instantly from our website. More details at eg.freedomarc.org/books.


Love-conscious, not sin-conscious

Colossians 1:13 says:
When you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh” — again, in our lost identity — “He made you alive together with Him… – it was not because we did anything – … He made us alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings. He cancelled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us — and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

That is a powerful statement. It is all about being love-conscious, not sin-conscious. Because it is all dealt with. It has all already been forgiven.

As we read earlier:
God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them. (2 Corinthians 5:19).

God’s love cancels all debts, holds no record of wrongs — and therefore His forgiveness is as unconditional as His love. That is so important: you have been forgiven for everything. Now, that does not mean you go out with the attitude, “Oh great, I can just carry on doing terrible things to people — it does not matter.” That is not what love is. Love is wanting the best for other people. Love never wants anything bad to happen to anyone.

What we have received in love — having been loved — we can now love with in the same way. And if love is conditional, then what we demonstrate to others will also be conditional. That means, for most people, forgiveness becomes conditional — based on someone saying sorry or “repenting”. (We will look at what that really means in another session.)

But it is so important to realise: we have been forgiven. Every debt has been cancelled. Nothing is held against us. Therefore, there is no longer any need for guilt or shame. All the things we may have done in our lives — and we have all got history — none of that counts before God. He remembers none of it. So I would encourage you — do not remember it either. Ask Him to completely remove any memory of the past so that you are not trapped in what you have done, but realise that you are fully forgiven. And therefore, there is no more need for forgiveness — because it was all dealt with on the cross.

That is the limitless grace of God — and His triumphant mercy.

Love wins

But of course, religion creates guilt and shame. It uses guilt and shame. But God’s focus is always on reconciliation and restoration of relationship — not on self-improvement.

If there is no record of wrongs, then there is no further need for forgiveness. Sin — lost identity — has been placed as far as the east is from the west. It does not say “as far as the south from the north”, because if you are in the south and then walk north, you end up north. But if you go east and walk west, you still end up facing east. In other words — you can never find it again. God has completely removed it. Yet our religious upbringings often keep us focused on feelings of guilt and shame. That is something we really need to get sorted.

God wants us to know the reality of forgiveness. God has forgiven unconditionally, because God is love — and love is unconditional. Therefore, love wins, because love has always won. That is true justice — the outworking of the judgment of the cross, which was a verdict of “not guilty”… innocent.

So receive that right now:
You are innocent.
As innocent, you are able to have face-to-face encounters with God.
You are not guilty of anything.

And if you feel guilty about anything — that is not coming from God.
If you feel condemned — that is not from God either.
That is either coming from your own inner conscience — which has not yet been touched by the love of God — or from religious programming, which functions through guilt.

Love never fails

I just want to finish with something the Father said to me in conversation:

“Son, My overwhelming love will conquer all things, as it will not fail and will never give up. My overwhelming love is stronger than death. It is more jealous than the grave. Nothing can quench its fierce passion and burning desire for restored relationship of face-to-face innocence. My love for each of My children cannot fail — can never ever stop — any more than I can cease to be I AM.

“Love is the atmosphere of glory.
Love is the frequency of heaven.
Love is the timeless now within the circle of the dance.

“There can be no end to love.
It is eternal and infinite — expanding throughout creation with My kingdom, government and peace.

“My love has no beginning, no end.
It is the Alpha and the Omega
— the Aleph and the Tav.

The Living Word and Truth.

“Love is the fullest expression and intrinsic essence of I AM that I AM.”

So learn to just be loved — living in the rest of love, joy and peace.

Our minds need to be deconstructed from false religious concepts and doctrines — anything that puts a condition on being loved.
We need deconstruction.
We need the renewal of our minds.
We need to be renewed to the truth of unconditional love.

Unconditional love is not a theory. It is not just an intellectual idea. It is something we can know by personal experience. The experience of unconditional love will transform us. It will free us from the religious version of the angry God — if we will just allow God to love us. That might sound so simple — and yet it has been such a long journey for me to come from all the religious experience I had, and all the wrong understandings I held about God, to come to the truth…

The truth of being face to face.
Of being innocent.
Of being in that place where the motives of God’s heart motivate me.
Where His passion causes me to be passionate.
Where His burning desire creates in me a burning desire
— to only do what I see the Father doing.

That is what unconditional love can do for all of us.
But we do need to experience it.


Activation: Washed in Unconditional Love

So I want, just for a short few minutes, to give us the opportunity to embrace unconditional love — to come into that place where we experience something deeper of the unconditional love of God.

So I encourage you: just close your eyes.
And in closing your eyes…
Just begin to rest.

Everything I have said — and I know I have given you a lot of information there — I want to set a foundation for what we are going to be looking at in the future.

But right now, I want you to embrace that you are loved unconditionally.

So I want to encourage you:
Just begin to fix your eyes…
Your thinking…
Your desire…
On engaging face to face,
Heart to heart,
With unconditional love.

Just rest.
Just be still.

As the unconditional love of God surrounds you…
Where love is poured out…
Lavished upon you…

Where every bit of guilt, shame or condemnation that you have felt —
That people have made you feel —
That religion has made you feel —

Right now…
The unconditional love of God,
As it is flowing all over you,
Around you and in you,
Just washes you.
Washes you clean
So that you see yourself the way the Father sees you:

Forgiven.
Reconciled.
Justified.
Innocent.
Not guilty.

Pure and holy.

Just let the truth — as the Father begins to speak words into your heart —
Words of love…
Words of affirmation…
Words of approval…

He is affirming you as His child.
He is approving of you as His child.

He wants you to feel completely, unconditionally loved.

Just let that love wash over you.
Flow through you.
Rivers of living water ,
Rivers of love,
Unconditional love flowing through your spirit, soul and body.

You are cocooned in unconditional love.
Soaking in unconditional love.

Feel the unconditional love…
That you are forgiven from everything from your past.
Completely innocent.
Every stain completely removed.
Every black spot in your DNA restored and made whole.

Bathed in unconditional love.

Just rest in that place of love.

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.

397. God’s Love Remains

Mike Parsons

What has happened and what God has done—he is the same God, and he hasn’t changed. He remains a God of grace, mercy and love. If Adam hadn’t followed Eve, God’s grace, mercy and love would still have applied to her, and she could have received that if she had chosen not to continue on her own path. God would have made a way for her to be restored because his desire is always for relationship. He desires us to come into that relationship, but it requires us to let go of our own way.

Adam wasn’t deceived, though; Eve was. She was deceived into letting go of what she already had to try and attain something she could never achieve. That striving, born of separation, left her and the rest of mankind worn out, trying to become something God already saw them as. The idea of “you can be like God” was redundant because she already was like God. But now, this had to be done independently of him.

Adam chose to follow her. Perhaps it was out of a desire to see her redeemed, though he didn’t understand what would come from that decision. In doing so, both lost their identity, and the struggle to regain it brought a flood of emotions: “Who am I? Why am I here? What is all this about?” This separation affected how Adam engaged with God, no longer able to connect with him as he once had. Yet, even then, God met them. While they hid in the bushes, feeling guilty, naked and ashamed, God came to them.

Throughout history, God has continued to meet us, drawing us back into relationship with him. If Eve had chosen to turn back, would she have had to wait for Jesus? No. The fiery sword was there, and she could have chosen to enter. Perhaps Adam might have helped her to do so. But, in the end, they didn’t. They chose otherwise, setting humanity on this independent path that so many still follow today.

Jesus came to fully undo everything lost through their choices. God has remained consistent—a loving, merciful God who has always worked to restore us. This is why I don’t believe Eve would have been banished forever or left without the opportunity to return. God’s grace and mercy would have triumphed over her mistakes.

Their choice, however, shaped human history. Their line brought forth the promise of redemption in Jesus, as prophesied. He overcame, undoing the enemy’s deception. The same enemy who had deceived Eve tried to deceive Jesus in the wilderness, offering shortcuts and power apart from God. But Jesus resisted, succeeding where Adam and Eve had failed.

Through Jesus, we now have the opportunity to experience what Adam and Eve were originally designed to enjoy. God’s loving kindness never changes or fails, and whatever it would have taken for Eve to be restored would have been possible. His grace, mercy and love would always have been sufficient. Although they didn’t make that choice, Jesus came to undo the damage, restoring our vision of who we are so we can live in that truth.

383. Greasy Grace or Limitless Grace?

Mike Parsons

You’re on dangerous ground when you take the evangelical position that the Bible is inspired, inerrant and infallible. Nowhere in the Bible does it claim that all its writings are inerrant, infallible and inspired.

For example, where does it say in the book of Isaiah that it was inspired by God? It doesn’t. Do I believe Isaiah prophesied with the inspiration of the Spirit? Yes, I do. Did he write it as a direct dictation from God? No, I don’t think so. He wrote and expressed what he felt God was saying to him, filtered through his own understanding. Would Isaiah have understood that the suffering servant was the coming Messiah? I don’t think so. But he wrote it because God inspired him to, or spoke to him about it.

We don’t need another book of stuff to argue over, or create more doctrines of God about!

Too much grace!

Many preachers warn against “greasy grace” but rarely show the same concern for excessive legalism. They always seem more worried about too much grace.

When it comes to Limitless Grace, this is not just grace upon grace; it’s the divine enabling power that works within us. As we grow in the awareness of this limitless grace, it transforms how we think and live. Limitless Grace, alongside triumphant mercy, is rooted in God’s unconditional love. If God’s love is unconditional, as it is, then his grace must also be limitless.

Unconditional love is God’s desire to work out that love for our good, to restore us to the place he intended from the beginning—a relationship with him, face-to-face, in innocence. Ephesians 1:4 speaks of this restoration to face-to-face innocence in love. If God’s love were conditional, grace would be limited. But because love is unconditional, grace must also be limitless.

God’s grace empowers us to return to our original purpose and identity by removing every obstacle that hinders us. Often, we think of ourselves through the lens of our upbringing, experiences, or societal expectations, which impose limitations. But God’s grace enables us to see ourselves as he sees us, unshackled by those hindrances.

I used to try to renew my mind by sheer effort, but it never worked because I was trying to fix the problem using the same flawed thinking. God renews our minds by giving us transformative experiences, revealing his unconditional love and limitless grace. These experiences change how we see him and, in turn, how we see ourselves.

Some misunderstand grace as “greasy grace” or “cheap grace,” as if it excuses any behaviour. But grace isn’t a cover for wrongdoing; it’s the empowerment to live differently. Grace is limitless because our capacity to act contrary to God’s love is vast. Yet, God’s grace is greater, ensuring we can always be restored to that place of innocence and relationship with him.

Grace is not about what we deserve or earn—it’s about God’s love for us. Critics of grace often argue that it promotes permissiveness, claiming it suggests that “God will love us no matter what we do, so it doesn’t matter how we live.” While it’s true that God’s love for us never changes, our actions do have consequences. They affect us—and others. That’s why God empowers us to live according to who we truly are in him, rather than who we think we are.

Unfortunately, much of evangelical Christianity is focused on law rather than grace. They see grace as “cheap” or “greasy,” fearing it excuses behaviour. But grace is not about fear of consequences or external control. I once spoke to a very evangelical man who admitted that the only thing stopping him from certain actions was the fear of God finding out. He was operating out of fear, not love.

God doesn’t want us to act rightly because we’re afraid of punishment; he wants us to live from a place of understanding and embracing his love and grace. When we see things as God does, we won’t want to do things that harm ourselves or others. That’s the true power of grace—it transforms us from within.

Grace does not excuse sin

Grace empowers us not only to avoid wrong choices but also to refrain from actions that contradict love. This empowerment is essential, yet some misunderstand it, accusing those who teach about unconditional love of promoting “greasy grace.” They claim God cannot excuse sin because he is righteous and holy. But what they misunderstand is that grace doesn’t excuse sin; it forgives us for it—even before we’ve committed it.

Grace allows us to see our actions from God’s perspective, enabling us to choose differently when we recognise something is harmful to ourselves or others. God loves us so deeply that he doesn’t want us to remain in harmful patterns. His grace renews our minds, helping us think differently and act differently.

The legalistic mindset focuses solely on law-based consequences—what happens if you do or don’t do something. It misunderstands God’s grace entirely. Grace doesn’t “cover” sin in a superficial sense; it forgives sin and empowers us to live beyond it. Sin, in this context, is not merely wrongdoing but a loss of identity. God has already forgiven us for being in that lost state and wants to restore us to the reality of who we truly are.

Triumphant mercy works alongside grace to overcome everything we do that contradicts God’s love. Mercy doesn’t ignore or tolerate wrongdoing; it works to bring us into a new way of living. This is why grace and mercy are empowering—they enable us to move beyond harmful patterns, not by fear or obligation but through love and forgiveness.

Evangelical perspectives

The idea of “greasy grace” reflects a complete misunderstanding of grace. Critics often claim that teaching about unconditional love and grace gives people an excuse to do whatever they want. But the reality is, people already do what they want. True grace transforms what we want, aligning our desires with God’s heart. Personally, I surrendered my free will years ago because I didn’t want to choose things in opposition to God. My desire now is to live in alignment with God’s love and purposes, not out of fear or duty but out of a shared desire to please his heart.

Unfortunately, evangelical perspectives often distort the meaning of grace, reducing it to an acronym or a rigid formula. Some view it as a way for God to tolerate us because of Jesus’ sacrifice, as though Jesus came to save us from God. But Jesus didn’t come to save us from God—he came to save us from ourselves and the consequences of living in a lost identity. The salvation he offers isn’t about avoiding an eternal punishment but about freeing us from the consequences of an independent path that leads to harm and separation from God in our perception.

Grace is often misunderstood in the evangelical framework because it’s tied to the idea that faith is something we must generate. However, faith itself is a gift that allows us to believe what is already true. Grace, grounded in unconditional love, has no prerequisites for us to receive it. It’s already there for us. When we accept it, we begin to enjoy its benefits, but it has always been available regardless of our actions.

Much of evangelical thinking wrongly assumes that grace is only extended after we perform certain actions—repentance, renunciation, or asking for forgiveness. But God has already responded to our independence by stepping into it, fully identifying with our lost state. The “wages” or consequences of independence were death—separation from God from our perspective, not his. God has always seen us through the lens of love, but we have viewed ourselves as separated from him, creating the illusion that we must earn our way back.

Legalistic, works-based religion arises from this flawed belief. But the truth is, there’s nothing we can do to make grace true—it already is. When we realise and accept this truth, we can enter into the joy and freedom it offers. Our acceptance doesn’t create grace; it simply allows us to experience it.

So critics of grace often frame it as a license to continue doing whatever we want. Yet true grace is the opposite—it’s the empowerment to live in alignment with God’s desires, in relationship with him, and free from fear, duty, or obligation. Grace changes the desires of our hearts because it allows us to know and experience God’s heart. This transformation empowers us to live as God intended—not as a requirement but as a joyful response to his love.

380. Transform Your Consciousness by Embracing the State of Love

Mike Parsons – 

Changing your state of consciousness is less about actively doing something and more about entering into the reality that already exists. It’s coming into agreement with the truth of who you are as a son or daughter of God and embracing your identity in Him. This means realising that you live in an interactive relationship with God, where He is in you, and you are in Him – abiding in His presence as He abides in you. Connecting relationally with that truth changes your state of consciousness and your state of mind.

I would say this change begins with peace, a place of rest where you accept the reality of who you are in God – that you are forgiven, made righteous, justified, accepted and included. These truths bring you into a state of love, joy and peace. You are loved unconditionally, filled with joy, and live in gratitude for the life you have. You find peace that surpasses understanding. Jesus said, “My joy is in you so your joy can be full; love one another as I have loved you.” He left us His peace – not as the world gives, but a deeper peace of being loved, accepted and brought into a relationship with the Father.

This awareness shifts your consciousness from a focus on doing to a focus on being.

In this state of being, I live in unconditional love, grace and mercy. That is the state I live in. I am in rest; I don’t strive or struggle. I simply enjoy. A key to this shift in consciousness is understanding that you don’t have to do anything to maintain your relationship with God – it is freely given by His grace and love. You don’t earn it, work for it or need to do anything to sustain it. Instead, you enjoy it. You enjoy being loved, the joy of relationship with God, and a state of peace, free from duty, obligation or fear.

This means you can enjoy each day, knowing He is with you, and you are with Him. You don’t have to try to connect with God because He is already in you. Communication becomes continuous, as you are constantly face-to-face with Him in the light of His presence. He is connected to the core of your being, so you live in a state of oneness with Him. “Whoever is joined to the Lord is one spirit.” This oneness becomes a background awareness of His presence and your presence in Him, allowing you to live in love, joy and peace.

Communication with God becomes more of an inner knowing, where He shares His heart with you, filling you with peace. You are inspired by His intentions, which brings a sense of authority into your everyday life. Resting in Him means that you don’t approach Him with an agenda. You don’t seek to encounter or communicate with Him for specific goals; instead, you simply want to know His heart and walk in fellowship, intimacy and relationship with Him. As you rest in this relationship, He begins to reshape your understanding of yourself and your connection to Him, naturally transforming your consciousness into a state of rest.

From this place, communication with God becomes instinctive, an inner knowing of His heart. Yes, you may talk with Him, and He with you, but it becomes more about sharing hearts and living out of a state of union and oneness. As you do this, everything you are doing in the realms of Heaven connects with what you are doing here on earth, creating a seamless flow between both realms. You live in a state of peace and rest, enjoying life more fully, as life is meant to be enjoyed.

Living in intimacy with God, knowing that He is your Father who loves you, fills you with a sense of peace and purpose. In that state of love, He desires the best for you and wants you to live out that relationship daily, grounded in love, joy, peace and rest.

324. Complete Salvation in Christ

Mike Parsons

The Finished Work of Christ

  • The finished work of Christ has accomplished everything necessary for our complete salvation. There is nothing else to be done.
  • All the promises and covenants of God are fully and completely fulfilled in Jesus. There is nothing and no one else who could complete or fulfil them.
  • We are all included in Jesus and have received life through him, just as all died in Adam.

The Universality of Salvation

  • As in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. All have received life, though not everyone is aware of this reality yet.
  • The ministry of believers is to help people understand this amazing inclusion and reality that all have been given life in Christ.

The Universality of Sin

  • The Bible verse “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) is often used to tell people they are not good enough and need God.
  • The reality is that all have outworked their lost identity, which is short of the glory God intended for us.

Justification by Grace

  • The ‘all’ who have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (in Romans 3:23) are “justified as a gift by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24).
  • This means that all who have sinned (which is everyone) have also been justified, not by their own merit, but as a free gift of God’s grace through Christ’s redemption.

The Universality of Justification

  • The “all” who have sinned are the same “all” who have been justified. There is a universality to both the problem of sin and the solution of justification.
  • Romans 5:18  states that just as condemnation came to all through one man’s transgression (Adam), so also justification of life has come to all through one act of righteousness (Christ).
  • The condemnation referred to here is not eternal punishment, but the state of living in lost identity apart from God, and the consequences that brings. 

Jesus’ Authority over All Mankind

  • According to John 17:2, Jesus is given authority over all mankind, so that he may give eternal life to all whom the Father has given him.

Eternal Life for All Mankind

  • In John 17:2-3, Jesus states that eternal life is to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom God has sent.
  • God has given Jesus authority over all mankind: the same “all” who were condemned in their lost identity and the same “all” who would be made righteous and justified.
  • Some may try to separate the “all” to whom Jesus has authority over, and the “all” to whom he gives eternal life. That is illogical. The same “all” applies to both – Jesus has authority over all mankind, and he will give eternal life to all whom the Father has given him.

The Supremacy of Christ

  • Colossians 1:15-20 speaks of the supremacy of Christ, and that all things were created through him and for him.
  • Note again the inclusive nature of the “all” – nothing is left out, as all things have been created through Christ and hold together in him.
  • And it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Christ, and through him to reconcile ‘all things’ to himself, whether on earth or in heaven.

The Universality of Reconciliation

  • Christ has reconciled all things, not just people, but everything that he created.
  • This reinforces the universal scope of Christ’s work: he has reconciled all of creation to the Father through the blood of his cross.

The Universality of Christ’s Work

  • John 1:7 – Jesus came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
  • John 1:16 – Of Christ’s fullness, we have all received grace upon grace.
  • John 3:35 – The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands.
  • John 5:28 – A time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice.

The Reconciliation of All Things

  • In John 12:32, Jesus says that when he is lifted up on the cross, he will draw all people to himself.
  • “All” does not leave anyone out, and there are many instances of the word “all” used throughout the teachings of Jesus and the Scriptures.

The Fulfillment of the Law

  • In Matthew 5:18, Jesus states that not the smallest letter or stroke of the law will pass away until all is accomplished.
  • The “heaven and earth” referred to in this verse represent the old covenant system, which was fulfilled; and it passed away when the temple was destroyed in AD 70.

Key Takeaway

All has been accomplished through the finished work of Christ; there is nothing left to be done for the full and complete salvation not only of mankind but of all creation.

287. Unconditional Love, Grace, and the truth about salvation

Mike Parsons
with Jeremy Westcott

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.

284. His Love Never Fails

Mike Parsons
with Jeremy Westcott

We saw last time that love wins. If love does not win in the end then it cannot be love; but love can never be forced, just continually demonstrated again and again, until it eventually overcomes every obstacle, objection, excuse and reason.

That is why I believe in the restoration of all things. God’s love will never stop because He cannot stop being Him: He can never deny Himself and who He is, so He continues to love. And because He is an eternal being, that means He will never stop, so God and love will never fail.

His love never fails, never gives up and can never be escaped because it is filled with age-enduring grace and mercy. That grace and mercy will never cease to be a vehicle for love to be expressed and demonstrated abundantly, lavishly and with extreme desire and intent, without limits. God’s love has no limits: if you put a condition on it, then you have limited it. If love is limited, it is not love. Love must be extreme or it is not love. Love must seem wasteful and undeserved or it is not love.

His love cannot be thwarted by sin, rejection or death – it has experienced all there is and yet has conquered and overcome all things, so that all things can be restored to love’s face-to-face, relational innocence. That is really the nature of what God has done: He has made us innocent. That is how He sees us. Do we feel it? Or do we feel ‘less than’ because we struggle with the concept of unconditional love?

Nothing can separate

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? … But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35, 37-39).

That really leaves nothing out. That is the nature of that love: there is nothing we can do – or anyone or anything else can do – that can separate us from the love of God. Religion, even though it will probably have you read that Bible verse, will tell you the opposite, that there is something that can separate you from the love of God: your choice. But your choice can only separate you in your own head, it cannot separate you from a God who loves you unconditionally. And that is really what we need to understand and engage.

If you still think you can separate yourselves, or feel separated because of your past life, or things you might do, or thoughts you might have, remember this: God takes no notice of what you – or others – think, He just takes notice of who He is. And He is unconditional love.

Discover who we are

So to know our true identity as sons of God, which is who we are, it is imperative that we know unconditional love by personal, intimate experience and not just in an intellectual way. I would have always said that I believed that God is love but my understanding of that love is very different now that I know it by experience. I have had so many experiences of the nature of that unconditional love, both towards myself and how God has expressed and shown His love to others, that I am absolutely convinced that this is the key, that everyone needs to know. All of us ‘know’ that God is love because the Bible tells us; but the question is, have we all experienced that love as unconditional or do we just know it as a concept or a theory? God wants it to be very practical.

As sons of God, we need to have our lives built on a solid foundation: that foundation is the nature, character and essence of who God is as I AM. I AM is a constant, never changing. He is unconditional love, He is limitless grace and He is triumphant mercy: put all those three together and they make a totally solid foundation on which to build our lives, to grow and mature. All these attributes have to be experienced: that is what God is working to do in our lives constantly, to enable us to experience the reality of who He is and so discover who we are.

Limitless grace, triumphant mercy

Never stop living in the reality of unconditional love, limitless grace and triumphant mercy. A few years ago there was a huge fuss over so-called ‘hyper-grace’. Well, His grace goes way beyond ‘hyper’: it is limitless! There is nothing that limitless grace cannot deal with or overcome.

And His mercy is triumphant, which means no matter what obstacle or hindrance might get in the way of us experiencing unconditional love, His mercy has already triumphed over it! So if we live in that reality, then we can abide, dwell, and remain at rest in that state of conscious awareness that we are loved. We do not have to do anything, it is completely free and unconditional. That may not be easy to accept, because of the way we have been conditioned to think about love and about God. That state of being, immersed in that unconditional love, limitless grace and triumphant mercy, is an expanded state of consciousness, an awareness that forms the foundation of everything we think, feel and do. Therefore we can just be.

Our true identity and our consciousness of that identity is about being, not doing. If we can really get hold of that reality then it will free us up so much to discover just how powerful we are and how amazing our sonship is. Yet it is so hard to just be when we are conditioned to do. All of us have been programmed by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, programmed into independence, so that we believe we have to do something.

Religious systems

Probably all of us have been involved in some religious system or other and those systems tend to require performance or adherence to a set of behavioural norms so that we will be accepted. When those norms are projected onto God, as they often are, it leads us to believe that God requires certain things of us, which contradicts the truth of His unconditional love. But Paul wrote:

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2).

Or, ‘do not be pressed into a religious or political mould, shaped or formed by the political and religious systems you live under, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’ We cannot renew our own minds, however hard we try. I used to try to renew my mind by confessing Bible verses over and over again, making confessions and declarations and decrees so that I would believe what I was declaring. I learned a lot of Bible verses that way but it never renewed my mind: the only thing that renewed my mind was an experience of God that changed my mind because now I knew the truth (and that truth was different from what I thought before) and now I agree with Him, which is what metanoia (usually misleadingly translated as ‘repentance’) actually means.

Blameless innocence

God’s good, acceptable and perfect will is proven or known when we experience it – but we have taught people that you can only know it by faith. Faith is the evidence of things not yet seen, but I want to live in the reality of experiencing everything that God intends for me, not to die never having received it (as happened to all those heroes of faith listed  in Hebrews 11).

… just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will… (Ephesians 1:4-5).

That is His will: that we would be before Him in love. In the Mirror Bible it says:

He associated us in Christ before the fall of the world. Jesus is God’s mind made up about us. He always knew in his love that he would present us again face to face before him in blameless innocence… (Ephesians 1:4 Mirror).

That is such an amazing statement! Perhaps if we look at our life we would say we are far from blameless; but God is not looking at what we have done, He is looking at what He has done, at what Jesus has done. We are who He says we are, so His love enables us to be face to face with Him without fear (because perfect love casts out fear). His love, expressed as His will, chose us to be restored to face to face, blameless innocence. And when we have been face to face with Him, then we can begin to realise how blamelessly innocent we are.

In God’s heart we are already restored: we just need to catch up with what is already true rather than trying to make it true. He is much more patient than we are, and His patience means that His love will never fail. And His limitless grace and triumphant mercy ensure that we will all know his love unconditionally, one way or another, however long it takes.

Engaging God on the Heavenly Pathways of Relationship and Responsibility
Equipping a Joshua Generation of supernatural sons of God to live according to the order of Melchizedek

‘Engaging God’ is an interactive modular programme developed by Mike Parsons.

Through using it you will learn how to access God through Jesus who is the Way, Truth and Life, in the realms of heaven and within your own spirit and heart; and how to take up your responsibility as a mature son [daughter] in God’s kingdom.

Many people have had involuntary or ecstatic encounters or experiences where they have engaged God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and the realms of heaven in visions. Whether you have had such experiences yourself or not, through this programme you will learn to develop the ability to engage and re-engage those encounters at will, and to mature in outworking the revelation you receive from God on a daily basis.

Choose monthlyquarterly or annual options for your automatic recurring subscription payments via credit or debit card, and try Engaging God free for 2 weeks – no payment will be made until after 14 days, during which you can easily cancel if you wish.
