Time, Eternity, and the Mercy of God: Going Back into the Past
Mike Parsons
I have been back in time lots of times, being used back in time. You do not go back there and change what has already happened. You can go there and be used to establish what has already happened. But you only know that you have gone into that from now. If you think of the eternal now state, it is now. Whether it is 1850 BC or whatever, it is all now in that place. So you go into it in 2025, you can come out into the past and be used in the past because it is still now. I did not change the past. God, just as he could go and visit people who are praying, or send an angel, could send us. If you are available and you access that realm, you can go back and be used in the past. But you have always been used in the past. You are only now aware of it because you have entered into it now. But that continuum is still now for them.
So you go back into, I do not know, 1820 something and do something, 1750 something and do something. I have gone back and rescued people, been a light to stop ships going onto rocks. Lots of it involves children, because when children cry out, God responds. Lots of rescuing children from different things. And I have done this with a lot of other people as well. Other people are doing it also; it is not just me, because we all have access to it. Once I started teaching that and doing activations, there were amazing testimonies of what people were doing when they made themselves available for God to use. I went back to some place in Africa somewhere in the past and showed them how to use irrigation for their plants. It was unusual, but that was it.
I do not believe the future exists yet. I think what people are probably seeing when they seem to access the future is what God desires for the future, and then they can cooperate with him for that future. If the future already exists, then we must be puppets, and whatever we do is going to happen anyway. I do not believe that is what God does. I believe multiple timelines exist at any one moment, and what forms that reality is what we choose at that moment. We can choose different realities at any moment in life. God will still bring good out of the choices we make and will still get us back on track ultimately. Even if we take a few detours, he still wants us to come back to fulfilling our destiny. I do not believe we have ever made a choice that completely stops us fulfilling our destiny. We just make some side tracks sometimes.
God is still able to enable us to be ourselves in whatever setting we are put in, which is really what ‘my destiny’ is. My destiny is the ability for me to be me, and I can do that in multiple different ways. So our choices do not limit what God can still do in our lives and through our lives. This reality is formed because we have all made the choices we have made, but if we had made different choices, we would still be us. Time is a very complicated thing, and I do not know everything about it. But I do believe that God will bring good out of everything we do, even when we make some wrong choices. When I have gone to the judgment seat with my scroll, the wood, hay, and straw were transformed by fire into gold, silver, and precious stones. They were not just got rid of. God transformed them in some way. Here is my scroll, here is all the things I did in my own strength, and God in his mercy and grace purifies it all. Even those things I did in my own strength created opportunities for something good to come out of, because God is so merciful all the time, so gracious, and desires continually to work in our lives for our good.
What I know now, I did not know then. And I cannot beat myself up about it. In my brokenness I did my best. It was not perfect by any means, and of course if I had the time over I would do things differently. But I still believe God could bring good out of even what I did do. I did my best with the knowledge I had and within the state I was in. I was in a broken state emotionally and in other ways, and that is not an excuse for bad parenting or whatever else, but you can only do things within the context of who you are and what you know in an unhealed state. And I was not healed and made whole. So I did what I could do, the best way I could do it, and that was imperfect.
There were things I would now do very differently: investing much more time in loving them unconditionally and helping them know who they were, rather than putting too much time into the church. There was a sense in which that was my job, a calling, but I felt I needed to earn it, needed to do my best because I was employed to do it, and it was out of balance because I was still performance-driven in that setting. I would redress that balance definitely. But I believe God can still redeem all of that and still bring blessing in that way. There is a sense in which I cannot change it, and some of the damage that was done I would want to see repaired and fully restored, but that is not entirely within my own purview to accomplish without other people’s cooperation in it.
