358. Governing Time: Understanding God’s Seasons and Our Role

Mike Parsons discusses how seasons reflect God’s intentions and how we can align ourselves with these divine plans.

Astrological Control?

I’ve never bought into the idea that I’m controlled by some astrological setup of the stars or that I need to wait 2,500 years, or however long, for the next period of Aquarius, Aries or Pisces. Yes, I believe in immortality, but do I really want to wait two and a half thousand years for another season to come? I believe that seasons illustrate God’s desire to do something. For example, some people look at Aquarius, the water-pourer, and prophesy about living water coming, streams flowing, and revival waters emerging. Depending on what they’re tuned into, they’ll use Aquarius to justify all sorts of ideas. And then there’s the talk of transitioning between the ages and all that.

So, do I believe in times and seasons that God operates within? Yes. Do I believe God uses our times and seasons to help us relate to things? Yes. Sometimes He even says to me, “In three years’ time,” respecting the fact that we live in time.

Divine Timing and Seasons

Ultimately, am I subject to that? When it comes to legislating and governing the times and seasons that God wants to move in, it’s about agreeing with God and participating in the co-heirship to bring about His desires. That doesn’t mean I can govern or control someone else’s actions. I think the problem arises when people believe they know God’s heart and then try to enforce it by controlling others or legislating against them. That’s not how I believe God wants us to operate. Everything we legislate should be for blessing, never for cursing. We’re not meant to remove someone or cause harm where someone ends up losing their job or worse. That’s not the way I believe God works.

I’m not saying you couldn’t do it, especially if you have the authority as a son. But is it necessarily what God wants? I’m not convinced. I don’t resonate with the mindset that says, “I’m so concerned with what’s going on in the world that I need to change it.” That approach often translates into, “I’m going to come against this and that and the other.” I don’t think God “comes against” anything. God blesses to bring about change and transformation. I think the spiritual warfare mentality still operates in some people, making them view everything as a battle against the enemy. But often, they end up doing it in the same spirit they’re supposedly opposing. For me, it’s about governing in love.

Promoting Blessing Over Control

When I govern in love, it brings about change that blesses people’s lives and aligns them with who God says they are and what He wants for them. I can call that into being, decree and declare it, govern and legislate it. But I’m not controlling those people. They still have the choice to embrace God’s heart for them. And if they choose not to, I can’t control them into it. Similarly, I can’t control a government into changing a policy just because I think it’s not what God wants. I believe that many ideas people have about what’s right and wrong and just come from their own sense of justice, rather than God’s.

I’m totally in agreement that, as sons, we have the ability to cycle seasons or time to bring about change and transformation. That might seem like acceleration, but I’m not going to be controlled by the cosmic clock. I believe we’re here to govern times and seasons to fulfil God’s purposes, not our own or someone else’s, and certainly not in a negative way.

When we talk about governing time, what are we really trying to do? Control time? Control what happens within it? Time is also a being we can cooperate with, and I believe the process and journey are what really matter. People are on different cycles of journey and process. For some, it takes longer than for others. So, if you try to control time, you might make it too fast for some and too slow for others. Everyone needs to legislate for their own journey within the time they’re in. It’s complex, and I’m not convinced people fully understand what it means to govern space and time. And frankly, I don’t think it’s ever explained well enough for most people to grasp.

292 Is God Shocking People into Embracing Love?

Mike Parsons

We have to be careful to ensure that what may seem like disorder or hardship is not part of God’s plan to bring about a realisation that the world has moved away from the loving values that He espouses. Timing is important when it comes to heavenly legislation, as the apparent issues can help people recognise that their way of life and the systems they depend on may not align with God’s values. This awakening relates to wider political and financial situations, as well as individuals’ lives. It leads to questions about genuine happiness and success.

Occasionally, when systems and personal lives collapse, people are forced to search for better outcomes. During struggles on a local or global level, conscience and God can prompt individuals to look past their current circumstances. Trying to make a nation “great again” (whether America or ‘Great’ Britain) is flawed because true greatness comes from reflecting God’s love, not from human strength or pride. The pandemic revealed the deceptive nature of previous beliefs about life and relationships. Instead of asking for a return to the old ways, we should pray for the ongoing outworking of the awakening. This will help people fully grasp the truth and emerge from the darkness of deception. Sometimes, darkness makes light more visible and effective, leading to a positive transformation.

Obviously we would not want the world to be in chaos and anarchy, but sometimes it is only terrible things that can shock people out of their existing mindsets and beliefs systems to enter into something better.

Key Takeaway

Collapse as Catalyst for Change: In moments of system breakdowns or personal crises, people are compelled to look beyond their immediate circumstances. Sometimes only severe disruptions can jolt people out of existing mindsets.

238. A Good Report

Mike Parsons
with Jeremy Westcott –

Beyond the veil

We saw last time that, as those called to be forerunners in the new, like Joshua and Caleb, we need to give a good report. We cannot just keep this to ourselves, have a great time exploring the realms of heaven and write off everybody else as if we are somehow better than them. There are so many people out there, believers and not-yet-believers, who need to hear a good report of the inheritance that is theirs if they will cross over and appropriate it for themselves! We need to reach out, to call out to our brothers and sisters in the wilderness to come and see the promised land of their inheritance as sons of God. And when they come, we need them to cross over to take their heavenly positions as sons beyond the veil.

In the old we would have prayed for it to happen. We might also have posted on social media, published some blog posts, done some talks, radio or TV interviews, maybe even written a book and arranged a big ‘launch event’. But in the new, we know it must be established in heaven first. So now we will seek to get heavenly strategy and produce legislation in the courts of heaven to enable it to take place. Then any of those other things we are mandated to do in the realm of the earth will carry heavenly authority and be far more effective.

The Law of Religious Freedom

This is a law which I received and which has been ratified in heaven for Freedom Church and our associated ministries to use.

I hereby authorise the law of religious freedom.
This law approves the right of the Joshua Generation to set My people free.

You are authorised to bring freedom to the oppressed, to release light into the shrouded darkness of the old Moses order.
You are authorised to administer Emmaus road-like encounters to those whose minds have been veiled by the coverings of men.

You are authorised to call for and administrate justice for God’s people.
In love you are empowered to challenge the old wineskins and their associated mindsets.
The old Moses-order mountains can be shaken with the Winds of Change*.

You are to call the Joshua Generation to action, to cry into the valley of decision and release heaven’s sound and light.
You have been assigned the ordinances of the angelic hosts to engage in visitations, dreams and visions.

God told me to “use this legislation wisely and with precision and many will be set free to receive their inheritance”.

This is what I declared when I used it:

I call for the veils to be removed from those covered by resistors and rejecters of the new heavenly order.
I call for justice on the basis of God’s judgement, the exposing of those refusing to take the people into the promised inheritance.
I call for a stirring and quickening of the hearts of those who have been covered and limited.
I call for a new generation to arise.

I call for mercy and the light of truth to shine brighter and with more intensity into the darkness of the coverings of men.
I call for justice and freedom from the religious evangelical spirit that is plaguing God’s people.
I call for a holy dissatisfaction to grow in the hearts of God’s people and the cry to go out from deep within “there must be more than this.”

I call for the sound of heaven to resonate in the hearts of those who will become hungry for more as they become dissatisfied with junk food and baby food.
I call for more angelic encounters, visitations, dreams, visions and supernatural engagements.
I call for new desire to rise in the hearts of those who have been misled and covered by religious veils of doctrine and theology that denies the supernatural as normal to our lives.

Make your own declarations. Ask God if you can use this law, or step in and get your own. Do something to reach out to those who are in the old: He wants to bring them into the new.

A note about heavenly legislation

Your spirit has permission to release laws from that spiritual place and to declare and decree them; I did not write that law from trying to figure out what to say, I just said it from my spirit and then wrote down what I had said. Every one of us can do that but it requires us to take the initiative from our own position in heaven and to start to operate in the authority we have there. So if we are to make and use legislation effectively then we need to see ourselves as God sees us, and start to conduct ourselves as sons and not slaves.

* ‘Winds of Change’ is the name of an angel and of an order of angels.
