370. Abiding in God

Mike Parsons – 

In God’s Presence

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

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

Know by experience

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

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

At rest

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

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

Enjoy!

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

359. Unlocking the Power of Angels

Mike Parsons

Mike explores the various ways angels assist us in our daily lives. From facilitating meaningful connections with others to providing support in everyday tasks, Mike shares personal anecdotes that illustrate the divine guidance we can receive. He delves into the concept of judging angels and emphasises the importance of cooperating with them to fulfil our eternal purpose.

Angels: Helping in Everyday Life

How do angels assist us? Well, they do so in various ways. Sometimes, they help us connect with people, facilitating seemingly coincidental meetings. There are moments when angels can communicate and help orchestrate these encounters. For instance, I’ve personally asked my angel to help me find a parking space. I imagine that the angel goes ahead and stands in the spot, and for some reason, no one else sees it or takes it. When I get there, there’s a space waiting, and I always thank my angels for their assistance.

This leads me to the concept of “judging angels,” which some people misunderstand. They think it means deciding whether certain angels are bad and should be punished, but in reality, judgment is simply a verdict. When angels do something for us, saying “well done” and thanking them is a form of judgment. It helps build a relationship with them. Angels aren’t our slaves; they’re here to work with us in fulfilling God’s purposes.

Engaging with Angels in Spiritual Realms

I’ve had personal experiences with heavenly angels. For a long time, I didn’t realise I had an angel assigned to my mountain and throne, spiritually speaking. We’re all seated in Christ in heavenly places, but it took me a while to truly engage with this reality. When I finally did, I discovered that I could sit on the throne, learning about ruling and decreeing from my heavenly position.

During an activation exercise, where I guided people to connect with their thrones and mountains, I noticed a large angel standing behind my own throne. It was the first time I’d truly seen this angel, even though it had always been there. When I asked what it did, the angel responded, “What do you want me to do? I’m here to help you.” This angel had been helping me all along, even though I hadn’t been consciously aware of its presence.

Angels and other heavenly beings

Angels often help us grow and mature, and my angel has been instrumental in that process. Particularly in my younger years, it guided me towards books and revelations that challenged and transformed my understanding of God. These revelations set me on a path of growth and change, often accelerating my spiritual journey. As I matured, I learned to engage these cycles of change myself, needing less direct involvement from angels.

But it’s important to note that angels aren’t just there for the early stages of our journey. I’ve worked with other heavenly beings, like Wisdom and Prudence, who’ve shown me more about how heaven operates. They’ve taken me to heavenly courts and assemblies, revealing how the government of heaven functions. In the beginning, angels helped me navigate these spiritual realms, but as I’ve grown in my relationship with the Father, I now receive revelations directly, through heart-to-heart connection with Him.

In my journey, angels have been incredibly helpful, guiding and supporting me as I’ve grown in understanding and maturity.
