God’s Desire Is Always Good

God is good, and God wants to bring good into people’s lives, even out of the things they do which are wrong. He does not condone what they do, because what they do will often be negative towards themselves and towards others, and that is not something God desires. But God still wants to bring good.

It is the love of Christ that compels us. It is not fear of God’s judgment or anger. It is God’s love, and that is what we are meant to carry.

I know some people say that is all wishy-washy, and that you need to see God as this or that. But honestly, I do not think those people really know who God is if they believe He is angry, looking to punish people, or wanting to take people out. That is not who He is.

Identity, Not Condemnation

God wants people to find their identity as sons in relationship with Him, and to discover their place in bringing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. That is His desire for everybody. That is true for every single person on earth right now. No matter what they have done, Jesus has already died to forgive them. God does not hold it against them at all, because they are already reconciled to Him. They just do not know that, so they are operating out of a lost identity. They are doing things out of a lack of knowledge and experience of who they are.

We have all been there.

God did not judge me in a negative way. He graciously, with mercy and love, led me into discovering the truth. He did not come down and condemn me because I was believing lies, even though He knew I was believing lies about Him and many other things. He led me into an experience of truth which renewed my mind. I came to realise, I do not believe that anymore. There was no condemnation involved.

So we should not condemn people for where they are in their journey. They may still be operating out of a wrong identity, a wrong way of thinking, or a religious mindset, but so were we. Let us have grace and mercy for people, and help them find where the truth is. Not by condemning them, but by encouraging them to pursue God so they can find the truth in Him.

God Is Love, Fully and Consistently

God is love. I do not just think that, I know it. Therefore, God operates in love all the time. He is never anything other than love. People say, “Well, He is just and He is holy.” Of course He is. But that means justice and holiness are love expressed and outworked. They are not different.

We often create two versions of God when we compare what people think they see in the Old Testament with what Jesus revealed in the New. People end up operating in a mixture of those two ideas. But God is not two-faced. He has always been love. He has never been anything different. He was not operating differently in the Old Testament than in the New. People simply viewed Him differently.

They did not know Him. So they described Him out of their lack of knowledge, through their own religious mindsets, creating an image of God shaped by distance rather than relationship. That does not define Him. We have never defined God through our theology, beliefs or doctrines. God is not definable by us. He is God.

Therefore just because someone says God is like this, or writes something down and it is recorded in the Bible, does not mean it is true. If it contradicts the reality that God is love, then we know it is not true, because Jesus came to reveal who God really is. You do not see Jesus condemning people. He challenged people, but He did not condemn them. He did not judge them. He did not kill them. Even when people were killing Him on the cross, His response was, “Father, forgive them.”

That is God. He forgives. He is a loving God.

Awakening to Love

God has been misrepresented by all sorts of religions, including Christianity, as someone He is not. That is why people need to awaken to love. Many are doing that by leaving the conditional picture of God they encountered in church and finding Him outside of it. There are also people who have never been in church who are discovering that God is love, not through religion, but they are still coming through Jesus, even if they do not name Him.

He is the door to the Father. You cannot find the Father any other way, but that door is open. It has always been open. Jesus is the door; He has opened the way, and He has kept it open. He is not as precious about how people come through that door as we often are. When people find the Father, they will have come through Jesus the Son. They may not describe it that way, but that is the reality.

So we need to help people come through that door, to find Him, to experience the love of God, and to discover their identity in Him. Not to try to conform them to a religious system. In reality, more people are finding God and His love outside of Christianity than within it.

Already Reconciled, Already Included

I am not against people coming to Jesus and accepting what He did on the cross. That is how I would present the gospel, helping people discover who God is in love and experience that love; that Jesus loves them and has made a way for them. But I would not be prescriptive and say there is no other way people can come and experience the love of God. It will be through Jesus, but it may not be through the religious Christian way that we have described how Jesus saved people.

People are already saved, already included. Already reconciled, already accepted. They are already forgiven. They do not know it, and sometimes the way we present the good news does not help them know it. So let us help people find God, and let God bring them into the relationship and reveal Himself to them. That is not our responsibility. That is His.

Let us remove the hindrances and obstacles that may have been placed in people’s way, especially the harsh, judgmental message that says they will be condemned to hell if they do not accept Jesus. That is not true. Love is powerful: love never fails, love never gives up.

And death is not the end of choice.

Love Beyond Death: A Personal Testimony

Even if someone chooses to reject God in this life, God does not reject them. There is still opportunity beyond this life to embrace Him.

I have a testimony of that recently, though I have never done this before.

Last week, I went to a celebration of someone’s life. It was a man I had met through a school reunion. He was the husband of one of Debbie’s school friends, and we had met several times over the past months. At those gatherings, the husbands are often spare parts, left figuring out what to talk about. But over time I got to know them. One of the men was a Christian, and we had some great conversations about grace, love and the mystic side of things. This other man was not interested at all. He was a nice man, funny, but not open to any of it.

We met in April, and in June we heard that he had been diagnosed with a disease, and then he died in July, suddenly, very quickly. It was sad for his wife, for his family, and for his children. We were invited to go to the celebration of his life, which was totally non-religious, because he was totally against organised religion, as I found out when people were telling stories about him.

I sat there listening to the stories and people’s recollections, and I started to feel sad. I felt sad for the people who did not seem to have any hope. In their view, he was dead and gone. Life after death did not exist as far as he was concerned, and probably that is what his family felt too. There was no expectation of seeing him again.

While they were playing some music he liked, some Beatles music and other songs, I thought, “Okay God, is there anything I can do about this? Is there anything that you want me to do?”

Then I felt God say, “Well, you know what to do about it.”

So I thought, “Can I?” And then I decided, okay, I am going to be bold. While everything was quiet and the music was playing, I went to the fire of God’s love and I called him out. I did not know whether he was going to be there, because sometimes people accept Jesus on their deathbed. But he was there.

He came, and I felt the emotion. I felt that he was feeling condemned, not by God, but by self-condemnation and self-anguish, because he realised that his belief systems were not right. He was still alive, not dead. His consciousness was still living. For people who do not believe there is life after death, when they die and discover they are still alive, it is a shock.

So I preached the gospel to him. I shared that God’s love never fails. That even though he had rejected God while he lived, and did not accept that there was a God, God still loved him. God had never rejected him. God still wanted a relationship with him.

I shared that good news, and I offered him that opportunity, to which he responded and accepted. He followed me, and I introduced him to the Father. The Father brought his spirit and soul back together, unified him, clothed him with glory, and placed a ring on his finger of sonship. It was wonderful to see.

I did not stand up and tell people what I had done. That would not have fitted the framework of the meeting. They would probably have thought I was very strange. But now he has a relationship with God.

And death is not the end. It is another opportunity, in a different way, to experience God’s love.

Death Is Not the End of Choice

I know people will say you cannot talk to dead people. But they are not dead. A person’s spirit and soul do not die. Their body may be dead, but they have moved into another realm. We still have an opportunity to share the good news with them, even if they have chosen to reject Jesus and God in this life.

Then I started to feel really happy. There was a sense of joy in what he was now experiencing. Of course, I would want his children and his friends to feel that same joy, and to be awakened to God’s love. But at least for him, he is now out of the consuming fire, out of that refining process, and he is now receiving and accepting God’s love.

Now he knows who he is. And now he is going to go on to fulfil his destiny in that realm. That is good news. These are tremendous opportunities of sharing God’s love. Death is not the end of choice, as I experienced in that testimony. I am not saying I will ever do that again: I do not know. I felt moved by compassion, and God gave me permission.

It shows what is possible.

Responsibility and Opportunity

All of us have the opportunity to preach the good news and help people embrace God’s love, even after they die. There may be family members. There may be situations where we can do this.

In this situation, I was surprised that I even thought about it. But I was feeling so moved, aware that something was missing, something that could have been there, so I chose to do something about it.

He still had the choice. He could have rejected what I shared. But his belief system had already been challenged, because he did not believe there was anything after death. Now he found himself in a place where he thought he was condemned to remain there forever, because he did not know anything different. Even though he had not believed in God, and had not believed in hell, he now assumed that must be where he was. He was full of self-anguish, believing that his decisions in life had placed him there.

But God still loves him. And the love of God can reach people even in that place. It is our responsibility to empty that place of people, to make sure no one is left there, and that they all find the love of God.

One thing to be aware of is that we can make judgments for angels, not negative judgments but positive ones, in thanking them and being aware of the things they do. We can give thanks for their help and for the things they show us. We are not worshipping angels by thanking them for the job they have done, or when they help us out, or when they show us something. It is simply having an attitude of thanksgiving that respects and honours them for what they are doing in our lives. That attitude builds the relationship.

They are not slaves. They are not there as slaves to do everything we demand. They are there to serve us in our heirship, in our co-heirship with Christ. That is the outworking of their role. They are not there to do our every whim, although they do help in many different ways. The important thing is that we maintain the right attitude towards them.

There are different orders of angels. There are individual angels with individual names, and then there are the orders to which they belong, which is a corporate name. For example, what I understand about guardian angels is that they tend to be the same angels with us consistently. When I engaged with the four angels of transformation, however, they were part of an order of angels, and they would be different ones at different times when I travelled.

In ministry settings we had four angels connected with the ministry who were always the same when we gathered. Angels clearly have function and purpose. They operate within positions that are part of the role they fulfil.

People sometimes ask whether angels get tired or weary. I do not think so, because they are spiritual beings and they do not function in the same way we do as human beings who need food and drink and rest. I do not think they get worn out or tired, although sometimes they might get worn out with us when we are off doing crazy things. But generally they are spiritual beings who carry out the purposes they have been given.

I have engaged, for example, with what I would call the court of chancellors, where there are chancellor angels present. They are not always the same angels each time. Perhaps some are engaged elsewhere in other responsibilities. I do not imagine they are having a tea break, but there may be times when they go and focus on worshipping the Father. That may be their break from us, if you like, to re-engage the Father and enjoy that connection with Him.

Because of that, there may be angels who rotate through different assignments within their purposes rather than doing the same thing continually. They may have a variety of responsibilities. As the saying goes, a change is as good as a rest. Although they are not likely to get bored in the presence of God, they do have personality and they do interact.

We should not treat angels as if they are almost inanimate. They are created beings with a personality and a purpose. When we respect and honour that, we will probably learn more about how they operate and what they do. We can always ask them. Whether they choose to tell us or not is another matter, but what they will never do is draw attention to themselves. They always want to point us towards God.

I discovered this through my own experiences engaging the heavenly realms. My throne in heaven on a mountain was symbolic of my position of government. When I engaged that realm I would focus on sitting on the throne and carrying out what I needed to do from that position, making declarations, legislation and decrees.

Later, when I began helping other people engage with their own thrones, I became aware of something I had never noticed before. As I approached my throne I saw an angel standing behind it. I had never noticed that angel previously. I asked, “Who are you?” and he told me his name. Then I asked, “What do you do?” and he replied, “I help you to rule here.”

I then asked how long he had been there. He said, “All the time. While you were not here, I was here.” When I heard that I realised that there had been many occasions when I had been sitting there not really knowing what I was doing, while there was an angel present who could have helped me. I simply was not aware of him because my attention was focused elsewhere.

Once I became aware of him, I began to interact with him. He never drew attention to himself, and he never seemed annoyed that I had ignored him for so long. After all, I did not even know he was there. When I did engage with him he was very friendly and very active in helping me.

From that point on I would sometimes communicate with him when I was unsure about what I should do from that position of government or how to outwork my identity there. I might ask questions, and I discovered that many things in the heavenly realms were present the whole time even though I had not noticed them before. Sometimes I did not see something the first time, or the second time, or even the third time I engaged that realm, simply because my attention was focused elsewhere.

This angel had been assigned to me as my heavenly angel. Jesus spoke about angels who are in heaven in that sense, and through that experience I learned to engage with him more intentionally. In those early days I often did not really know what I was doing, but the angel knew far more than I did. Over time I realised that this angel had been involved in many of the processes of change and transformation in my life.

In a sense, that angel was governing from that throne to ensure that eventually I would be seated there in a cognitive way. It was very helpful learning how to interact with the angelic realm and recognising how they assist us in outworking our identity and purpose.

Mike Parsons –

The Role of Angels

The angels were involved from the very beginning, because I did not fully understand what was happening. Only in hindsight can I see the cycles of change in my life, one after another. One significant moment was when I was baptized in the Spirit. I discovered several books that challenged my understanding of spirit, soul, and body. There was one particular book, probably the thickest I had ever read, The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee, exploring the nature of the spirit, soul and body, and how they interact. I devoured it because I was hungry for understanding. It began to reveal the role of the Holy Spirit and my own spirit in ways I had never considered.

By accident, I found another book, Nine O’Clock in the Morning by Dennis and Rita Bennett, written in the late 1950s in the United States. It focused on baptism in the Spirit and spiritual gifts. At that time, I was in the Brethren church, which did not embrace any of these ideas. Reading the book, I was astonished—it shared how encounters with the Holy Spirit transformed lives.

I began asking questions, but many dismissed it. Some said, “Oh, that is not for today,” while others claimed those experiencing it were deceived. It was a difficult time, and God had to change my mindset. This cycle of change, with the Holy Spirit active in my life, ultimately brought about transformation. I realised I needed confirmation for myself. I could not simply accept, “Yes, God said it, it is true.” I required evidence.

Baptism in the Spirit

I found confirmation through Martin Lloyd-Jones, a well-known preacher at Westminster Chapel in London. His recordings and his book Baptism of the Spirit convinced me theologically that baptism in the Spirit is for today—and I desired it. It still took several years before I received it, but I pursued it diligently.

Cycles of change were facilitated by both people and angels. At one point, a childhood friend I had not seen for years returned to my life. He had become a Christian and was baptized in the Spirit. He laid his hand on my head in a small group, and I experienced a powerful encounter with God.

God orchestrates these cycles; He is active, not passive, in bringing us into the maturity of sonship. Receiving baptism in the Holy Spirit opened another cycle of change. I became more open to hearing God and understanding His purposes. This led to a fresh perspective on eschatology—understanding kingdom and covenant in ways I had not encountered growing up in the Brethren church. God revealed truths beyond the futurism and premillennial rapture teaching I had known.

Community and Mentorship

After several years, I found an old book by Archibald Hughes, which affirmed all that God had been teaching me. Deconstructing my previous beliefs had taken time. I did not teach these truths for twenty or thirty years, fearing controversy. Eventually, I could no longer remain silent. The insights were so radically aligned with Jesus’ teaching that they opened a broader understanding—about covenantal judgment on the old system, the generation, and God’s ongoing work in the world.

God’s orchestration of my life was evident in these cycles of change, often interspersed with periods of rest. I saw the angels’ involvement and recognised God as the conductor of an orchestra—the symphony is the song of my life, and He directs the rhythm. I may not fully understand how conductors work, but the orchestra responds to His guidance: speeding up, slowing down, and emphasising particular movements. God’s involvement in every detail is remarkable.

Deconstructing Beliefs

We do not need to understand everything fully; our role is to participate and cooperate. Over time, I learned not to resist or demand full comprehension before embracing God’s work in me. I became proactive, recognising cycles of change and the timing of God’s intervention. He is gracious, merciful, and loving. He knows exactly what we need and when, helping us enter into His processes rather than resist them.

Our backgrounds influence how easily we assimilate new truths. Some of us, like myself, require much convincing. But as I grew sensitive to God’s work, I learned to embrace transformation willingly—stepping onto the altar to be refined and purified without hesitation. Previously, I clung to control, needing to be convinced to release things. Now, I trust Him completely. God is always good. If He leads us through something, it is for our ultimate blessing, making it easier to say “yes” quickly.

God does not intend to harm us or make life unnecessarily difficult. Often, it is we who make things harder for ourselves. Trusting Him accelerates our willingness to embrace His work in us because we recognise His goodness, mercy, and love. He is a good, loving, wonderful Father, always seeking the best for us.

482. Is Your Heart Aligned with God’s Kingdom or Culture?

Mike Parsons

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

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…

475. Preparing for the Shift: Spiritual Readiness in Uncertain Times

Mike Parsons

No video above? Please click here.

We need to get ready. I think now is the time to ask ourselves: what are the signs? What should we be aware of? We need to seek God, ask for discernment regarding what’s coming, and be prepared to deal with whatever may arise. The parable of the wise virgins is relevant—their lamps were filled with oil, but they also brought extra oil so they were prepared and their lamps kept burning. Likewise, we need to be proactive: ready and prepared.

This preparation covers all areas—building up health and wholeness now, being ready for whatever may come, whether that’s changes in the financial system, new forms of government, or presenting a new, kingdom-based perspective on the planet. It’s about legislating so that the enemy’s plans to rob and destroy come to nothing. We need to legislate for peace—proclaiming that there will not be nuclear war, civil war, or anything else engineered to bring chaos and destruction. Our role is to protect the earth from the significant changes that might be coming.

There may indeed be dramatic shifts ahead—major changes, such as increased solar activity, solar flares and radiation, or even changes in the gravitational field. No matter what happens, our call is to remain in a place of peace and rest, to be ready, and to engage with a governmental, creative authority as those made in the image of God. If something needs to change, we change it—not by simply repeating old patterns or creating yet another doomed system, but by calling things into being, by creating change in line with God’s original purpose.

We must abandon the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and instead pursue God’s original design for humanity and the earth. How would God have us live? Christians, as it stands, often struggle to live harmoniously even among themselves, let alone with others. We must move beyond division, set aside arguments over theology and doctrine, and instead establish relationship with God as our solid foundation—a plumb line for all else to align with. I believe this is where God is leading us.

More and more people are becoming disillusioned—with life as it is, with religion, with government. People are realising current systems simply aren’t working. Around the world, major democracies are seeing fractured outcomes—coalition governments in India and South Africa, for example, and a lack of representation for many in the UK’s first-past-the-post system. There is no longer a simple black and white; we’re seeing more of a ‘grey area’—a mixture of views and values, which is healthy. Coalitions, handled well, allow genuine balance, agreement, and sensible progress; it opens the door for decisions based on what’s best for people and for the planet, not just for the few who hold most of the wealth.

This shift means there’s increasing grassroots movement, protest, and people raising their voices—a trend I expect will only grow. Let’s legislate and pray that this will remain peaceful, and not be hijacked by those seeking violence and disorder. We’ve seen peaceful reforms before: Northern Ireland, for instance, moved from violence to the Good Friday Agreement, as people persisted, prayed, and worked for peace and unity. In South Africa, Mandela chose reconciliation over revenge, helping end apartheid, even if there are still challenges today. Major change is possible when people persevere for the good.

The fall of the Berlin Wall and the break-up of the Soviet Union were once unimaginable too, yet significant pressure from people within those countries brought about change. Even if new problems arise, the point is that change can happen—and we should be active participants, seeking wisdom, praying, and legislating for peaceful, transitional change.

Don’t just sit back and hope for change—let’s call it into being. Come together, enlightened, in unity, focusing on God’s heart and on the main thing: bringing about peace on earth and establishing God’s kingdom. The restoration of all things is what is needed—even those who have gone to the ‘dark side’ can be restored (as even in stories like Star Wars, Darth Vader’s true identity was rediscovered and restored). In the same way, fallen beings were not always lost; they were deceived down the wrong path, but there is no reason why they cannot be restored to their true identity.

Let’s be proactive—working and praying for restoration, for unity, and for peace on earth. The more we do, the more people will be restored to work for good rather than being used by forces seeking destruction. Ultimately, that Luciferian agenda will not prevail—we must ensure it doesn’t.

417. Awakening to Love | Finding Your Place in God’s Heart

Love is central

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.

409. Miracles Are A Lesser Way | The Truth About Healing (Part 2)

Mike Parsons –

Union of spirit, soul and body

If we do anything that contradicts loving our bodies, we need to apologise for that. Our body is an equal partner within the union of spirit, soul and body, so we must work together in harmony. I personally operate within the cells of my body to ensure health and well-being. But if I do something that contradicts that—if I am careless—then I take responsibility for it.

For me, this often happens with accidents in the garden or workshop. But one particular experience stands out.

In the tunnels

While on holiday in Vietnam, we visited the Cu Chi tunnels—an underground network built by the Viet Cong near Saigon, where thousands of people once lived. They were incredibly small, only about two foot six high, making it difficult for me to move around. The tunnel was dark, 100 metres long, with exit points every 20 metres. I was about 50 metres in when the tunnel made a slight turn that I couldn’t see.

In the darkness, I slipped, headbutting the floor. I took the skin off my chin, nose, top lip, forehead, and eye. My eye socket was bruised, leaving me with a big black eye, and there was blood everywhere. At first, I wasn’t sure what had happened—I just felt wetness running down my face and thought, “Oh no, I’ve cut my head open.”

Eventually, I got out of the tunnel and had to deal with the fear and trauma immediately. I didn’t want it to take root, so I consciously started smiling, refusing to let negativity set in. When Debbie saw me, she reacted with concern, asking what I had done. But rather than panic, I focused on staying calm. I found some water, washed off all the blood, and assessed the damage. I looked like a mess, but I was determined not to let fear, worry or anxiety take hold.

I knew it was my fault—yes, it was an accident and I had slipped, and because my elbows and knees were too close to the tunnel walls, I had no way to stop my fall—it was just a two-foot-six bang into the ground! But what mattered was how I dealt with it. I immediately worked with my body, ensuring there would be no infection. I washed the wounds with water from a bamboo spout—who knows what was in it—but I consciously chose the reality that there would be no infection and that my body would heal quickly.

I dealt with the trauma. I released the trauma immediately. I worked in cooperation with my body, and within less than a week the whole injury had gone and I had no physical marks. I had thought “I’m going to come home with a great big scar on my face” but actually I did not. I had to capture my thoughts, because I was thinking “how long is this going to take to heal?” but then I chose “No, I’m going to work with the cells of my body to repair themselves quickly.” And that’s exactly what happened.

People in the tour group were amazed. ” Well, you healed quickly!” And I did, within less than a week. But I did not want (a) anything to hinder my enjoyment of the holiday or (b) any infection. Some of the Canadian ladies kept offering me antiseptic and antibiotic creams, saying, “Here, you should use this.” But I politely declined. I wanted to let the wounds breathe because exposure to air often speeds up healing. I was intentional about working with my body rather than just assuming healing would happen on its own.

Miracles are a lesser way

Many people believe in healing but don’t necessarily know how to cooperate with it. Some rely on gifts of healing, wanting someone else to lay hands on them and make everything better. While gifts of healing do exist, they are not a guarantee. Some people believe that Jesus died so they could be healed, but they don’t necessarily understand how to work with that truth. They expect healing to happen in a moment—instant and effortless.

Miracles do happen, and I’m not saying they don’t, but miracles are actually a lesser way of living. God’s desire is for us to live in health, not just to keep receiving miraculous healings, or relying on others to heal us, but to learn how to walk in health as children of God – because that is our inheritance.

Denial isn’t the answer

Sometimes, we don’t fully understand why healing doesn’t manifest for someone. We don’t know what’s happening inside them—emotionally, spiritually or physically. I’ve visited and prayed for people who were terminally ill and who insisted, “I’m not going to die. I completely believe I will be healed.” But sometimes, something didn’t feel right. There were moments when I sensed I couldn’t fully agree with them because, deep down, it felt like they were not being real – that they were in denial rather than in genuine faith. Christian Scientists, for example, tend to deny the existence of illness and sickness altogether, but denial isn’t the answer. We have to learn to engage with our bodies, to cooperate with them, and to work through the process of healing.

381. Living Without Worry | A Guide to Seeking the Kingdom

Mike Parsons –

If you are operating from the Father’s heart, doing only what the Father’s intentions are, then you can take the promise that all these things will be added to you and then outwork that promise. When it says, “take no thought,” it does not mean trying to live in denial or suppressing what might be the truth. Rather, it means not worrying about it, as your trust is in God’s provision.

God’s provision can come in many different ways—sometimes through work, sometimes through people blessing us, or in other ways. The phrase “take no thought” does not mean to avoid thinking about a situation but instead to avoid worry. It encourages us to bring the situation to the Father. Scripture says, “Come boldly to the throne of grace when you have a time of need to find grace and mercy.” There is nothing wrong with coming to the Father, saying, “I am running out of money for the end of the month,” and seeing what the Father’s heart is on the matter. Yet, you do not come from a place of worry or lack, but rather with a heart that shares your needs and life with the Father. Sharing your life with the Father is good and healthy. “Take no thought” does not mean you cannot think about it; it simply means not to dwell on it in a negative way based on worry, anxiety, or fear.

When you seek first the kingdom of God, all these things will be added, but that does not mean we are not involved in the “adding.” For instance, we may, as the Father directs us, call for things that are not as though they are. We can call for finance to manifest in our lives or for the manifestation of other things we need. We do not have to be negative or passive about it; we can be active and seek the Father’s heart for any guidance He would provide. We might be involved in that manifestation spiritually, by establishing things in heaven so they can be manifested on earth, or physically and practically, such as by taking up a job or something similar. But that involvement is as the Father directs us. The key is to seek first the kingdom, meaning to seek first God’s rule and His way of life.

The kingdom should not be thought of as a vast realm encompassing the universe; rather, consider the rule of God in and through your life. Ask yourself: what is God calling you to establish on earth as it is in heaven? Break it down to the basics and assess whether what you are doing aligns with God’s purpose for you. Are your actions consistent with who He made you to be? It is good to take time to reflect—are you in the right place, doing the right things and walking in line with the Father’s Heart?

Remember, your destiny is not a list of tasks but the person you are meant to be. It is about who you are, and once you understand that, it will naturally shape what you do. Sometimes, reflection with the Father reveals that you are on the right path, and you can continue looking for daily opportunities to outwork that. Other times, He might signal that it is time for a change—a new season, place or direction. Make changes only if you are led by the Father to do so, but remember that asking Him is always welcome. The Father wants us to ask. Scripture reminds us, “You do not have because you do not ask.” This is not about pleading but sharing your current state with Him so He can guide you, bring you peace and rest, and help you outwork these truths in your life and heart.

379. Created in His Image | The Purpose of Our Existence

Mike Parsons –

As we have been created in the image of God, sonship is the key. Father, Son and Spirit exist in an eternal circle of relationship, a mutual exchange of love. This dynamic love is central, and although the Spirit represents a spiritual reality, God has also created the natural realm to interact with us as His children. This allows us to reflect, receive and extend that love to one another. Love is always key with God – He has created us both to be loved and to love.

We are included in the circle of relationship between Father, Son and Spirit. He has placed eternity in our hearts, so we are drawn back to that relationship, even if we are not fully aware of it. This pull towards worship and connection with God is by His design. In the realm of creation, God has created us as sons to operate in sonship towards creation, as creation was made for us, not primarily for Him. Creation exists so that, as His children and co-heirs and co-creators, we might mature, come into an ascended state and, like Him, become creative.

There are things God has chosen only us to do, as we carry His DNA signature. We are made in His image and likeness, and this distinguishes us as a race. Angels, for instance, are created as individual beings with unique purposes. Other dimensions contain races as well, but they are all connected to this dimension, as we are the reference point for them. This calling is not about arrogance or claiming superiority; rather, we have been chosen as His children to steward creation with Him, moving forward into ages to come. There is a joy in God’s heart for us, and He wants this joy to be in us so our joy may be complete.

This co-heirship leads to co-creatorship, and as sons and daughters, we become creative. We express this creativity in our daily lives, but there is also the potential to create as God creates, calling things into existence as if they are. This starts with choosing realities that align with the Father’s heart and His intentions for our lives. Creation responds to us, forming that reality as we collapse quantum possibilities into being. However, to understand His intentions, we need intimacy with the Father’s heart. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, and that is what God desires from us – a relationship that is face to face, heart to heart, mind to mind, in the light of His presence. As His children, we then work in collaboration with Him to realise His intentions, choosing realities aligned with His purposes willingly and cooperatively within this co-creatorship.

Of course, I do not have all the answers because I am not God. There may be many other reasons for God creating us in this way and for creating the physical, spiritual and dimensional realms. God is a creative being, but I know with certainty that His purpose in creating is rooted in love. The whole of creation is meant to experience His love. This is why creation is waiting and longing for the revealing of the sons of God so it may be set free from corruption into the freedom of the glory of God’s children. He has given us a glorious image, clothing us in sonship so creation can respond to us. When we speak with His voice, carrying out His intentions, creation responds.

Therefore, it is essential to know His heart and to carry out His purposes with love. We love because He first loved us, and we love one another as He has loved us. This also means we should respond to creation lovingly, bringing God’s kingdom – His rulership and dominion – through love and not through any other way.

I hope this provides a little more insight into who we are and our image. We can only truly see ourselves by looking into the mirror of His face and seeing what is reflected back, listening to the vast sum of His thoughts about us. God has made each of us with a particular purpose, both individually and collectively as His children.

371. Mindset of Immortality

Mike Parsons

Physical age

Your age does not have to dictate a decline in energy or health. In fact, I have more energy now than I did in my twenties. I can manage my energy because I generate what I need to do whatever I need to accomplish. This highlights that physical age is not the same as how one feels or lives. For instance, I am 66 years old, but how I feel and how I live are what truly matter. While it is true that everyone gets older with each passing day, this does not necessarily lead to decline, either in health or vitality. Ageing does not have to bring deterioration to the cells, as my own cells are functioning perfectly well.

From this perspective, it is about mindset rather than appearance. There are people—like desert fathers or ancient ones—who, while they may not look young, possess the ability to choose how they experience life. For example, a friend of mine encountered someone ancient in spirit, and at different times, this person appeared both young and old. When asked how this was possible, the person replied that they could choose how they appeared.

Sometimes, people associate wisdom with age or appearance, while others see youth as a purely physical attribute. However, it is actually the mindset by which one lives that determines the true measure of vitality, not how one looks. This ancient person explained that they could appear a certain age to some, and another age to others, depending on what they wished to convey. I believe that when we embrace the mindset of immortality, we are no longer controlled by age; instead, we rule over it. Immortality becomes an expression of our state of being and consciousness, rather than just physical appearance.

For example, Jesus appeared differently to different people after His resurrection. When He appeared to Mary, she did not recognise Him as Jesus and mistook Him for a gardener. Some may say that she was crying and thus could not see clearly, but that is not the case. Similarly, on the road to Emmaus, Jesus walked with disciples who knew Him, yet they did not recognise Him either. His appearance must have changed, only revealing Himself to them later in a form they could recognise. When He appeared to Thomas, He allowed him to see His wounds as proof of who He was. I do not think He carried those wounds everywhere, but He revealed them specifically so Thomas could see and believe.

I firmly believe that, as we live more fully in this reality of sonship, we will be able to choose our appearance. Personally, I do not worry about how I look, as I know how I feel and how I live. I do not need to look twenty; that would be quite odd for my family and those around me. While it would not bother me to look twenty, I am content with my 66-year-old appearance. More importantly, the cells in my body are not decaying, because ageing is not synonymous with death.

Jesus aged from infancy to His thirties, and had He not given Himself up to death, He would have continued ageing without succumbing to natural causes. He chose death so He could take on our mortality and bring us life through His resurrection. Therefore, it is all about the mindset we choose to live in. I live in a mindset of immortality, where physical ageing is irrelevant.

I have no desire to be alive at a hundred if I am not fully healthy and able to fulfil my purpose. What is the point of living if one is not enjoying life, full of energy and vitality? This is why many people do not consider immortality; they do not want to continue living the kind of life they currently lead. But for me, I am fully at peace with my life and I enjoy it. I believe we will learn to live in this world without being subject to it, focusing on the quality of life rather than merely its duration.

Quality of life

The quality of life, not just the fact that it will not end, is what defines true immortality. You could live for 500 years, but if you are bedridden and immobile, the quality of life is lacking. Immortal life is more about the quality of existence than the simple fact of not dying. The key question is, what quality of life would you choose to have, and can you maintain it despite the pressures around us that encourage the acceptance of death?

From a young age, people are programmed to see ageing as leading inevitably to death, rather than to wisdom or maturity in sonship—the state of living as a fully realised child of God. This mindset must shift to one of immortality, where age is irrelevant and eternal life is defined by the abilities and opportunities it offers. These abilities include the capacity to dwell in both spiritual and physical realms, travel by thought, and exist in multiple dimensions. Immortality is far more than the absence of death; it is about living life in its fullest, as God intended.

Many people have different views on immortality. Some might think it simply means not dying, but in reality, it requires preparation for a long and fulfilling life. How will you live if death is no longer a concern? Jesus promised abundant life, yet the enemy seeks to rob, kill, and destroy. The focus should not be on avoiding death but on embracing the abundance of life that Jesus promised.

Consider this: if you were to live for the next hundred years, would you continue working to earn a wage, or would you find a way to provide for yourself supernaturally? These are important questions because our current financial systems are not designed to last for centuries. Most pension schemes are built on the assumption that people will live for a few decades beyond retirement, not a hundred years. If your pension pot runs dry, what then? The financial systems of the world, which rely on electronic money with no real assets behind them, are fragile. When they collapse, we will need a new way of living—one that is not dependent on these systems.

God will give us insight into how to prepare for this future, so we can live free from the world’s control. Jesus, after His resurrection, was able to manifest food and ate with His disciples. There are even people today, known as breatharians, who believe they can survive on air alone. These are just some examples of how we might live differently if we embrace a mindset of immortality and prepare for the changes to come.

As systems collapse—financial, political, and otherwise—people will need to look for solutions beyond what the world currently offers. This could be a manifestation of God’s Kingdom on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Those who trust in today’s systems will find themselves needing to transition to something new, and we, too, must find a way to live in alignment with Heaven’s reality.

So, it is not enough to say, “I will not die.” The real question is, “How will I live?” Abundant life is our focus, not merely the avoidance of death. We should be asking ourselves what that abundant life looks like and preparing for it now, with a perspective that enables us to choose our reality. Many people are not yet thinking this way, but it is a mindset we can all embrace.
