Love begins to flow

If you start by developing your internal relationship with God—recognising that He dwells in you and allowing that relationship to expand within—you’ll ultimately discover the union of Father, Son and Spirit with your own spirit, soul and body at the core of your being. This forms the foundation for all other experiences. It’s the source of abundant life. You’re no longer just sipping from the well—it becomes a river that flows from within you. As that inner relationship grows, love begins to flow from you. The more you experience God’s unconditional love, the more you become unconditionally loving. What you’ve received begins to pour out of you.

My personal journey started with an unexpected experience. In 2008, I was simply sitting at my desk when I had a sudden encounter—I was drawn into heaven through what felt like a portal. It was overwhelming and surreal. The first thing I encountered wasn’t scenery or angels—it was love. A level of love I’d never experienced before. My whole being—spirit, soul and body—was immersed in it. I was completely saturated, and that moment transformed me. I knew there was something more than I had ever known, and I couldn’t ignore it. For the next two years, I kept seeking it, longing for that connection again. It ruined me—in the best way.

Eventually, in 2010, that experience became a lifestyle. My daily life began to open up to spiritual realities. I engaged with God, with heaven, with the garden, the River of Life, the Tree of Life—all these beautiful things. But the most important revelation was this: I was His dwelling place. And as I dwelt with Him, and He with me, I began to understand myself.

He showed me how my soul worked, how I had formed my identity around what I knew and did. Eventually, I surrendered. I stopped striving to know and control. I just trusted Him. And that trust opened the door to a deeper journey—one of daily, ongoing transformation.

Love began to expand

That intimate love began to expand within me. I experienced healing, not through ministry from others, but directly from Him. Inner healing became personal and profound. It was no longer something done to me—it was something He and I walked through together.

Over time, He led me into a union that felt like a marriage—something I never expected or imagined. And it all began from within. That’s the invitation: engage with what you already carry. Let it grow. Because it will not stay contained. It will flow into your relationships, into your life, and others will see the reflection of your relationship with God.

You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. It’s God’s job to reveal Himself. Our part is simply to love. Jesus said the world would recognise us by our love for one another. He didn’t say we’d be known by power or knowledge or supernatural gifts—but by love. And to love like Jesus, we first have to let Him love us. That means letting go of conditions and assumptions we’ve picked up—mindsets that need renewing. Many of us are deconstructing, but God may still want to go deeper within us.

Seated with Christ

Yes, there are external experiences—heavenly encounters, visions, spiritual senses being awakened—and I’ve walked in those. I can activate my spiritual eyes and see what’s going on in the spirit, but I rarely do that now. Not because I can’t, but because I don’t need to. I know where I dwell. I know where my spirit is—seated with Christ in heavenly places. You may not have caught up with that reality cognitively, but it’s true all the same.

Most people aren’t taught this, so they never fully grasp the reality of the spiritual realm or their identity in it. But Jesus ascended into that realm, and we ascended with Him. We’re seated there—not just in Him but with Him. We have a position of identity and authority as sons.

Part of my journey was discovering that, at the centre of my being, God has placed spiritual “gates”—like energy centres, if you will—connected to the River of Life that flows within us. They bring vitality, health and wholeness. This internal structure connects us to heavenly places, and it all flows from the relationship we nurture within.

Grounded in love

So, start there. Cultivate intimacy. Let His unconditional love dwell in you and grow in you. From that place, everything else will open up. Every journey is unique—God doesn’t deal with us like clones. But His work is always grounded in love. He always seeks our best. Even when we make mistakes, He brings good from them, because He is merciful and kind.

His mercy triumphs over all. His grace is without limit. His love is totally unconditional. And when we rest in that love, it opens us up to so much more within relationship.

429. Jesus is the Path to the Father

Mike Parsons

Of course, Jesus is the way we come to the Father. But He is a door… He said, “I am the door,” and He’s introducing us into a relationship with the Father. I do engage with Jesus at times—sometimes as the Truth—when I feel led to connect with Him in that way. But the bottom line is, we are sons, and a relationship with the Father is absolutely vital. I don’t believe for a moment that if you don’t consciously talk about Jesus, or think, “I must go through Jesus to have a relationship with the Father,” you’ll somehow open the door to the demonic. That’s not how it works.

At the end of the day, demons cannot take control of our lives. We have the Holy Spirit within us—the presence of God living in us. Unless someone deliberately chooses to give access to an external force, by surrendering or submitting to it, a demon cannot simply take over. You’re not going to be overrun just because you didn’t say the name of Jesus. That’s not how it works.

Your relationship with the Father is exactly what Jesus wants you to have. He’s not jealous or overly protective about His name. What He wants is that relationship. And actually, when you have a relationship with the Father, you’re also in relationship with Jesus and with the Spirit. They are one. They exist in perichoresis—a divine dance of mutual indwelling. So if you’re talking to the Father, Jesus is fully aware of the conversation. It’s not like you’re excluding Him or shutting Him out. You’re not.

I think sometimes people come under a kind of religious bondage, and I believe God wants to set us free from that. Intuitively, I think many people know what’s right in their own walk with God. If you’re experiencing and enjoying that relationship, you don’t need religious rules saying, “You must do this,” or “You must say that.” When people start saying things like “demons disguise themselves” or “if you don’t say Jesus’s name, you could be deceived,” it brings confusion and fear, which is not from God.

Just to clarify—demons are not fallen angels. They are disembodied souls, roaming the earth, looking for someone to express through. Angelic beings and fallen angelic beings exist, yes, but they’re not the same as demons. And actually, it’s very easy to discern which is which when you’re in relationship with God. That relationship gives you the discernment to recognise love, and love is the plumb line by which you measure everything. If something carries the frequency of love, it’s not demonic or fallen. You learn to recognise what God is using, who He is communicating through, and who He is Himself, by experiencing His love.

So I’d just say—lay all that other stuff down. Don’t get confused. Go with what’s in your own heart. Loving God, feeling His love in you, and expressing that—that’s what matters. In my Patreon teaching this month, I talked about what Jesus said: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” That doesn’t mean law or obligation. It means desire. His one desire is that we would be loved and empowered to love others in the same way. That’s the essence of it.

He wants us to be who He created us to be and to express that in love to others. It’s not about demanding obedience—it’s about desire and relationship. The word “commandment” has a goal built into it—entole, which means that in the end, there’s a result. And the result is this: “Let me love you, and you’ll be empowered to love others.” That’s what Jesus is really looking for.

In our relationship with the Father, He empowers us to love, because He’s loving us as sons—or daughters, if you prefer. There’s no gender in this—it’s not about physical identity, but about our position in God’s heart and government. So again, it’s not that Jesus has to be the focus in the sense that you must always say His name or fix your thoughts only on Him. He is the way we’ve come to engage the Father. The Father revealed Himself in us through Jesus, but Jesus doesn’t need to be approached legalistically. They are all one. There’s no jealousy or competition within the Godhead.

Ultimately, love and experiencing love is the primary thing. If someone says that’s not enough unless you explicitly follow Jesus, I’d say that following Jesus is following the way of love—true love, not how the world defines it. Some people might have a relationship with God but not yet know it came through Jesus. But He’s not worried about that. They’ll know in time. The truth will be revealed, and they’ll come to see it.

So don’t get caught up in arguments or pressures that bring confusion and discomfort. If someone’s pushing a particular view that doesn’t sit well with you, don’t follow it. Go with your heart. If what you’re experiencing is love, then it’s safe. The devil cannot deceive us when we’re grounded in truth—and Jesus is the Truth. But He wants us to know truth not just intellectually, but experientially—through love. Love is truth.

You’re not wasting your life by having this wonderful relationship with the Father. The angelic realm is there to help. We each have guardian angels assigned to us. They’re not going to deceive you. And you don’t need to live in fear of deception when you’re in relationship with God, grounded in truth and love.

Love is the primary way truth is revealed. So enjoy it. Rest in that love. Anything that pulls you out of love’s rest and into fear, anxiety or worry isn’t coming from God. Perfect love casts out fear.

And yes—your relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit is enough. Through that relationship, you are also connected with Jesus. You don’t need to separate them out in your mind. They are in perichoresis, in union. So when you engage with the Father, you’re engaging with Jesus as well, one way or another.

421. Belief to Reality | Living in the Truth

Quite a lot of deconstruction and renewing of our minds is needed to actually know the truth—and then to live in that truth. A lot of people will say, “Oh yeah, I can be multi-dimensional,” and then you ask, “Well, how does that work for you?” and they can’t really answer. Because although they believe it’s true, they’re not yet living in that truth. And that’s okay, because we’re all on a journey.

But God wants us to embrace the fullness of our sonship, which carries with it a whole different quality of life—what Justin (Justin Paul Abraham) would call “beyond human.” It’s beyond the limitations of humanity, because mankind was made in the image of God. We were never supposed to create our own image. Humanity, as we know it, is the image we’ve created for ourselves.

And I’m not going to be restricted by being human—because I’m not just human. I’m a son of God. I’m created to be beyond purely human, even though I’m living in a human plane of existence. I’m meant to live in a completely different realm—one of sonship. I believe that’s what the Father really wants to help us embrace and begin to live out. So yes, our immortality is definitely on the Father’s agenda—to get people to start thinking about the possibility, then embrace the possibility, and eventually go and live the possibility as a reality.

Of course, if you’re going to live forever, it raises a whole load of other questions: how, where, what are you going to do, how are you going to eat? All those questions. Some of the conferences Justin has been part of—and others as well—are beginning to ask these things. For example, what is the economy of immortality? Are we going to live on a financial plane, or are we going to rise above finances?

Are we talking about an economy of well-being, where simply being completely and utterly content and fulfilled in being me would free me from any need for recognition from others, or from the need to produce a self-image? Because I wouldn’t need that anymore.

Money is often tied to value and worth. If you earn more money, you’re seen as having more value to society. Your self-worth gets programmed into what makes you valuable—and often that boils down to money. In the world’s eyes, if you earn more, you must be more valuable. But actually, God wants us to see that it’s the image He made us in. He created us with value and worth intrinsically built in. I believe an economy of immortality is one free from money. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a functioning system—but if everyone is doing what they’re designed to do, no one needs to be paid for it, because we’d all support each other out of who we are and what we’re called to do.

If we were living in, say, a restoration city, and I’m doing what I’m meant to be doing while others are doing what they’re meant to be doing, then the whole thing functions. We don’t need a hierarchical system. I’m blessing someone, and someone’s blessing me—that’s covenant. The economy of immortality is covenant: what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine. We’d all have enough for our needs and an abundance of overflow, because Jesus promised us abundant life—life in all its fullness.

So, what I see is that when we remove the limitations of identity that come through humanity, we also remove the programming that humanity has placed upon people—programming based on works, performance-driven worth, and earned value. All I need to do is be me. And if we’re all being who God intended us to be, then we’re not comparing ourselves with each other. I’m not saying, “I’m doing a more important job than you, therefore I’m worth more.” No—I only need to be me, and you only need to be you. That’s how we value each other—not by what we do, but by who we are.

That completely removes the need for financial remuneration. Money doesn’t have to make the world go round. And I think that’s where we’ll end up when we really start looking at the practical implications of living in immortality. What changes would that bring to the world if people began to live like that? I believe it would make a significant difference to our attitudes and our mindsets—towards each other, towards the world.

Because my sonship is connected to creation, and creation values me as a son. Creation gives me a place within its greater purpose, because creation is longing and waiting for the revealing of the sons of God, so that it too can be set free. There’s a vested interest, from creation’s point of view, in me being me—because that plays a role in creation’s freedom.

418. Revelation of the Merkabah

Mike Parsons

Recap: Introducing the Merkabah

We have immortal life energy flowing within us through the Merkabah. As we saw last time, the Merkabah can help regenerate the soul and physical body. The energy it focuses aids healing as it interacts with a person’s subtle energy fields, such as the unified energy field, promoting healing by raising frequency. Much illness stems from low emotional and mental frequencies because thoughts of fear, worry and anxiety lower our frequency, making us more susceptible to sickness.

When we live in abundant health, we cultivate an energy field within us that raises our frequency, aligning us with the frequency of health. This is why focusing our thoughts and emotions on love, joy, peace and other positive states promotes health. Our entire immune system is designed to function optimally when we maintain an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving. The Merkabah’s healing effects help prolong life, but true connection to the unified quantum field brings abundant life and immortality by drawing from God’s life force.

This process works as we focus our intentions and align our frequencies with love, joy and peace, bringing rest and accessing God’s abundant life energy within us. As explored last time, this is like drinking from the eternal source described in John 4 and John 7, where rivers of living water flow from the core of our being, symbolising spirit, life, energy and light. The living light energy flows to the Merkabah, where it is focused and distributed through our seven energy gates, providing limitless energy and abundant life. This process is also connected to the Sephiroth or the Tree of Life, whose geometric shape links to the energy gates and is designed to balance spirit and soul, bringing wholeness to our body.

It is not enough to function solely in the spirit without manifestation in the soul, nor to operate only in the soul without spiritual grounding. We need a harmonious balance of both, embodying the principle of ‘on earth as it is in heaven’, to bring our body into the wholeness experienced by our spirit and soul.

Merkabah truth revealed

The Father has revealed much truth about the Merkabah to me. When he first spoke to me about this, I didn’t fully understand, and to be honest, I still don’t grasp it all. However, I believe the truth of what he said and recognise it as a journey of discovery. As I share these insights, I invite you to embrace them and seek the Father for your own revelation.

The Merkabah has multiple levels of revelation and application that will unfold with the maturity of sonship. As we mature, we will gain a deeper understanding of and ability to function within this truth. For many, the first level is as the chariot of Ezekiel, which moves heavenly thrones dimensionally. You can read about this chariot—the word Merkabah—and how it moves things in the heavens.

Another level involves the application of energy linked to gateways, sometimes called chakras, and entering through portals as gateways. These are dimensions of revelation to be experienced. When the Father first spoke to me about these concepts, I wasn’t aware I could enter portals inwardly. While I was doing so, I didn’t understand how or that I could consciously choose to do it.

There is also a connection to the governmental positions within the Tree of Life and Metatron’s Cube in light. Initially, I didn’t understand this, prompting me to explore the Tree of Life and its relationship to my seven energy gates and the Merkabah within me. As I engaged with this revelation, the Father helped me understand that the Tree of Life is meant to unify spirit and soul with the body, bringing balance and wholeness.

Metatron’s Cube, which is central to the Merkabah’s sacred geometric shape, is a whole topic on its own. I have explored some aspects of it, but I know there is much more to learn. Using limitless grace energy to create and choose reality by drawing from the unified quantum field is not a common revelation but will become clearer with expanded consciousness.

When God first spoke to me about the unified quantum field, I had no idea what it meant. I didn’t understand how to choose reality from an energy field I couldn’t comprehend. However, the Father was teaching me to align with his heart, expanding my consciousness and shifting my perspective. Quantum physics suggests that the observer chooses reality, meaning reality responds to our observation or choice.

As I learned to apply this, I saw many instances where choosing a reality aligned with the Father’s heart produced what some might call miracles. In truth, it was simply aligning with his reality rather than my own or others’ expectations.

Activating our energy gates and fields through intentionality is crucial. We must deliberately choose and focus—this doesn’t happen randomly. Intentionality is the first step towards generating and directing energy as frequency. Everything is made up of energy and frequency, which we perceive as matter when it vibrates at certain frequencies.

The Father taught me that by activating my energy gates and the surrounding energy field, I could create a flow of living water from my innermost being. This flow extends out through the gateways of my body, creating energy fields where I can live in peace, rest, life and abundance. This is a state of frequency.

The sacred geometric image

Son, look deeper into the sacred geometric image and use this knowledge to increase your thought energy and creative ability. When the Father said this, I had no idea what he meant. I recognised the image, as I had it behind me in my previous office. It was a large picture on the wall, and I would often find myself looking into it, wondering what I was seeing, what it meant and how it related to me and my thoughts. The more I did this, the more the Father began to show me that this knowledge of dimensional connections and portals within the Merkabah meant I could use my thought energy in a creative way.

God then took me on a journey, showing me how I could operate within what he called the Cradle of Life, a place within his heart where I could come into resonant agreement with him. Through this process, I could become his voice, and as I creatively spoke, light would begin to respond to me. At the time, I didn’t understand any of this, but I set my heart on it. I pondered it, treasured it, and held it close, even though I had no real clue what it meant. This treasuring, this incubation—being pregnant with something—allowed it to grow. As it grew within me, it began to manifest and be birthed.

The unified quantum field can be the connection between your consciousness and creation through the Elementals, which are connected to the living light strings of our grace. I know that’s a lot to take in. I remember thinking: unified quantum field, consciousness, creation, Elementals, living light strings of grace… it was a lot to process.

Elementals

The Elementals are beings that God created for us to connect with creation. We often think of them as earth, fire, air and water, but there is also the ether, which is the field we can engage with. We can learn to interact with all of them, connecting with them so that life begins to outwork in our lives towards creation.

Son, engage the Elementals through the Merkabah by your consciousness, not just in physical locations. This way, you can connect to all dimensions or realities to restore hope. At the time, I was on a journey to engage things dimensionally, and this helped me realise there are Elementals in the dimensions as well as on earth.

You can connect to the elements, to the trees, the earth, the plants and all living things. I’ve done a lot of this over the past year, particularly through gardening. I’ve spent a lot of time looking after the garden, tending and cultivating the trees, growing things and connecting my conscious choices to them for favour, blessing and bounty. As a result, I’ve enjoyed bountiful harvests from what I’ve planted, as I’ve engaged at an Elemental level in a sentient way with creation and my thinking.

We have a large cherry tree at the front of the house. When I asked if we got cherries from it, the answer was, “Not many, and the blackbirds eat most of those.” So, I set my heart on engaging with the tree. I communed with it through the Elementals, connecting with it so I could communicate my desire for it to produce an abundance of cherries—enough for all our needs and more, enough for every good deed. I wanted enough for the neighbours, for the blackbirds and for us too.

That year, we had an amazing harvest of cherries. I believe we are designed to connect with creation, just as Adam and Eve were placed in the garden to tend and cultivate it, receiving a bounty through cooperation rather than exploitation. God wants to show us how to connect with creation in a positive way, broadcasting messages of hope and light.

Broadcast messages of hope

Son, the Merkabah can connect to dimensions and also broadcast intentional thought energy to the Babel-like towers you have seen. When the Tower of Babel existed on Earth, it served as a communication system to connect to the heavens and alter dimensions. However, what it broadcast was the negative frequency of our lost identity out to those dimensions.

As God opened those dimensions for me to visit and engage with, I encountered beings who wanted help. When I engaged with them, they wanted to know how they could find freedom and restoration. Why? Because they were feeling our energy—the energy of sonship—and were drawn to it. As they began to reach out, God opened the door to connect with them. When I visited several of their dimensional places, I saw Babel-like towers in each of them, created to connect to our dimensional reality for communication. I disrupted that communication, instead broadcasting into those dimensions the truth of God’s love, freedom and the true frequencies of our full identity as sons of God, counteracting the negative frequencies of our lost identity.

This has been a journey and a process to come into this type of reality. The Father said, ‘Son, use this ability to send love letters as messages of hope and freedom dimensionally.’ I’ve been doing this by engaging the Earth shield and the dimensions as part of who I am, to communicate God’s love not just on Earth but into every dimensional reality.

Frequency of the Oracles

Creation does not distinguish between the frequency of sound produced by the voice, a bowl or your mind as you think the sound. I had already experimented with crystal bowls and using their frequencies with intention, seeing healing and other results. The Father showed me—and will show all of us—that creation does not differentiate between those sounds. Whether we speak, produce a frequency and release an intention, or simply think, the frequency functions just like sound. At a quantum level, all frequency-generating methods have the same effect, where photonic strings of grace and living light respond to our sonship mandate.

I’ve learned this over time. Initially, I didn’t understand, but as I continued to pursue this, I began to learn how to use my mind and intention to focus my thinking and engage. The Father said, ‘Son, this is the function of oracles and legislators. Remember the four faces of God in regard to the order of Melchizedek: man, lion, ox, eagle—priest, king, oracle, legislator.’

When we are an oracle—when we speak from the heart of God with the voice of God—we can legislate, bringing that authority into manifestation. I don’t want to be an oracle of my own thoughts or a legislator of my own ideas. I want to resonate with the Father’s heart, with the oracles of his heart, with his passion, burning desire, overwhelming love, deep compassion and intense joy. Those are the oracles of his heart. I want to resonate with them, be motivated by them and embody them when I engage with creation, dimensions, fallen beings and people. My desire is to reflect the Father’s heart, resonating with it and carrying that essence of love.

The hearts of sons produce pentatonic energy fields, designed to generate the oracle frequencies to connect with creation. When I first heard this, I thought, ‘What on earth does that mean?’ I’m not a musician and had no understanding of pentatonic scales or pentatonic energy fields. But I treasured this revelation and pursued it. I researched and learned that pentatonic musical scales—five notes—are always harmonious.

For someone who isn’t a musician, this meant I could use five crystal bowls to play harmonious sounds. I then asked the Father, ‘What are the frequencies of the oracles of your heart? What are they, really?’ The Father showed me those frequencies. I played the five notes on my crystal bowls, recorded them and tuned them to match the frequencies he showed me. By doing this, I could play those notes with the power to bring about the manifestation of the oracles of his heart, demonstrating his passion, burning desire and the amazing ways he sees, thinks about and interacts with us.

Guard your heart

The Father continued,

This is why the pure of heart can see beyond and why life flows from the heart. The heart here is not the physical organ or the soul; it is the union of soul and spirit—our innermost being. When our hearts are pure, life flows freely.

“Son, this ability to choose and create reality has been limited to the unconscious and subconscious, which means we keep creating the realities in which we were birthed and experienced in the past. It has mostly been lost to the conscious mind, but it is being restored. We will soon be able to choose a different reality from the one we are programmed to live in by our past. If we continue to operate from the memory of past experiences, we will keep creating the same reality, repeating the same cycles over and over again. However, when we begin to choose new creation realities, we will find our ability restored, enabling us to live in a completely different dimensional way.

“A heart motivated by the selfishness of the do-it-yourself tree path, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, will only create more chaos if it accesses these abilities. This is why we lost these bandwidth abilities in the past—because we were using them for our own gain, whether good or bad, which is ultimately selfish. Only as our hearts are renewed, restored, and made whole, and as we begin to operate from the heart of God, will the fullness of these abilities be released to us. That is why we need to mature.

“A pure, undivided heart resonating with love’s oracles is the only way to bring about restoration at a creational and dimensional level. Son, guard your heart and focus on developing the pentatonic frequencies and energy fields around your being and spheres.”

When he spoke of spheres, he meant areas of authority that I hold. I began to learn how to engage my heart with the pentatonic frequencies. I played them on the crystal bowls, engaging them intentionally and creating energy fields around me from what was developing. These energy fields were the oracles of the Father’s heart.

I want people around me to feel God’s passion for them—his burning desire for a relationship with them, his intense joy when he thinks of them, his deep compassion, and his overwhelming love.

Matthew 12:34: “For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.” We need to ensure that what fills our hearts is good.

Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” We must look at our hearts, ensuring they are being restored, healed, and able to focus and choose the right intentions.

Proverbs 4:20: “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.”

When we engage with the heart of the Father—face to face, heart to heart, mind to mind—when we engage the cradle of life and his thoughts and intentions, they begin to shape us. If we keep them within the heart as the centre of our motivation for what we think, feel, and do, they will bring life to those who find them and health to their whole body. This is a statement of immortality.

We need the reality and truth of God’s heart in our own hearts. That truth, when at the core of our being, will bring life and health.

“Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.”

Immortal life flows from the core of our heart, which is the centre of the energy gates connected to the Merkabah, flowing with energy from Heaven through us. This energy is then dissipated into our body, energising us for life.

It is crucial to keep our heart—our spirit and soul—in union and oneness with the Father, Son, and Spirit, not separated, so that life can flow.

We need to focus and give attention to what God says and reveals—not just through the Bible but through his words to us directly. Jesus said, “My sheep will hear my voice, and they will follow me.” We must ensure we focus on what God has said to us.

Becoming godlike

As we mature and ascend higher, we will discover creative abilities far beyond what we could have ever imagined. We have the ability to live multi-dimensionally—not just in the angelic realms of heaven and earth—but to engage and travel dimensionally and through time. All of this is part of the eternal aspect of our life as sons of God—our immortal and eternal life.

We need to embrace this truth and come into the fullness of it. I encourage you to be open to a completely different framework of thinking, to be unlimited by time and space.

It is truly amazing. I remain in awe of the things God has spoken to me about. Even though I do not understand everything, I treasure these revelations and believe this reality will manifest as I fully embrace them. Ultimately, I believe we are all in a creative process. God is taking us Beyond Human, as Justin would say—restoring humanity from a lost identity back into mankind made in God’s creative image. We are becoming godlike, as sons of our heavenly Father, who is limitless. Our experiences of this truth will challenge and transform our view of life, our mindsets, and our belief systems.

416. Reconnecting Your Spirit | Finding Wholeness in God

Mike Parsons

True identity

Our spirit itself is not damaged or impure; it is simply not connected. Our spirit has never truly been disconnected from God, but our soul has been. When we realise that God is within us and we open that first love gate in our spirit, we allow God to flow into us, engaging spirit, soul and body. This marks the start of a relational engagement with God, helping us find our true identity.

Most people derive their identity from what they do in the world or from past experiences, rather than from who God says they are. Our spirit already knows who we are because our origin has always been in God. The spirit existed before our body and soul; it pre-existed before coming into the body, but entered into a state of disconnection when it did.

Into union

God desires to reveal himself in a way that reconnects us, making us whole and bringing us into union with him—spirit, soul and body. When this union occurs, life flows like rivers of living water, an abundant life from the inside out. Instead of allowing external experiences to shape our inner life, our inner life should shape our external experience. This is God’s intention for us.

We can cultivate our spirit and increase our spiritual capacity by focusing on our spiritual senses rather than our physical and soul senses. This is a meditative practice—meditating on the spirit, its abilities and senses. As we do this, our spiritual senses grow and develop, allowing us to operate intuitively in the spirit rather than relying solely on cognitive processing.

Through practice

Some may believe that the spirit can be damaged, but I do not. I believe the spirit has never been damaged or occupied by anything other than God. However, this does not mean we automatically function through the spirit, as we often lack the training and understanding to do so. Hebrews teaches us that through practice, we can train our senses to discern. This applies to both our physical and soul senses, aligning them with our spiritual senses and prioritising spiritual understanding over cognitive processes.

When we engage in the spirit, it acts as a filter for external influences, offering insight before the soul interprets them. Our goal is to discern through the spirit rather than relying solely on memory, logic, reason or cognitive understanding. Developing this spiritual discernment takes time, as we have often lived with the soul as the dominant force in determining how we act, think and feel.

To shift this, we must cultivate a new framework of thinking and acting from our spiritual senses rather than allowing our physical and soul senses to take the lead. This process requires patience and practice, but the transformation is profound, enabling us to live in abundance and alignment with God’s purpose for us.

414. Living in the Spirit

Mike Parsons –

Eternity symbol

I did the same thing when I was on my journey. I found that whenever I was in a setting where I could just let go—usually in a worship setting or something similar at the time—I would notice my hand just drawing this sign. And I remember thinking, “What am I doing?” It felt a bit strange, but I just went with it because I didn’t really care what anyone else thought. I decided to just go with it.

Eventually, God began to show me that I was connecting with something, and He was unveiling an understanding of where I was in the beginning—the origin of my identity in Him—then bringing that into the present and outworking it in the present to create the future. It’s a continual pathway, drawing from where we are in relationship with God in the eternal now, living in intimacy with Him, and outworking that in the present, which then brings the future into place. What I do today becomes history, so today I can establish my future for tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to come, but what I do today can prepare for it out of what was in the eternal now—what was, what is, and what will be.

From doing to being

Sometimes people talk about the end and beginning of a circle, saying the end of one thing is always the beginning of another, which is true in a sense. But actually, God told me, “No, it’s not a circle; it’s this sign, the sign of my eternal covenant with man.” We were predestined to return to face-to-face relationship with Him, and that relationship enables us to outwork who we are in that state of being—what was, what is. I can just be.

I had always been very active because I’m quite an active person. I like to do things. So I was always focused on what I was doing today and how I was outworking things. It became a lot of activity. But God pulled me back from that place and showed me that it’s not about what I’m doing today—it’s about who I am today. My state of being has a greater impact than just what I do. Because what I do can sometimes come from a need, a desire, or something that isn’t necessarily from the heart of God. But if I’m flowing from what was and always is—because God is always in that eternal state—then I can simply be.

I started off doing and eventually became someone who could be. And that was really liberating because it meant I only needed to be in relationship with the Father, connected to His heart. That connection would inspire and motivate me to outwork His heart every day. But I didn’t have to keep asking, “What should I do today?” or “What needs to be done?” I just needed to be me. Because if I am me, that naturally creates space for the outworking of who I am in any situation. I could be more relaxed, at peace, at rest, without always wondering, “What should I be doing?” or “God, what are you doing?” It became a heart-to-heart relationship instead of a list of tasks.

In the beginning, God did give me lists because He met me where I was. But He didn’t leave me there. One day, He just stopped giving me anything to do and simply embraced me. And I remember struggling with that because I thought, “I’m not doing anything!” But He was showing me that being in that oneness was far more important than what I thought I needed to do. Being enabled a flow rather than duty, obligation, or what I thought I should be doing.

Just because I know how to do something doesn’t mean I need to do it.

Just because I know how to do something doesn’t mean I need to do it. And God demonstrated that to me over and over again. There were times when things were happening, and I’d go to God and ask, “Can I do something here?” And He’d say, “No, it’s all right. I’ve got it covered.” Someone else was doing something, and later on, I would find out who those people were. And that was great, because then I realised God was already at work in them. He didn’t need me, but if he did ask me to do something, that would be good. But I knew it would be coming out of a place where I was feeling his heart about it.

Connected in the spirit

And actually, sometimes feeling his heart about a situation but not having any sense that I should do something doesn’t mean I have to be passive, because I can still be encouraging others who God has assigned to do it. In a sense, when we’re connected in the spirit—because we’re all one in the spirit—then my encouragement can help somebody else feel secure in what they’re doing. So my heart wouldn’t be, “Oh, I wish I was doing that,” but rather, “How can I help encourage whoever is doing that so they are able to do it in the way God would want them to?”

My thoughts are always that way—I’m part of the whole, and God has many different ways of doing things. And of course, we can be doing things in the spirit without necessarily needing to know what we’re doing cognitively. I’m doing that all the time. That’s a state of being multi-dimensional, doing things in many different places without needing to be there in a conscious way, because my spirit is there. All our spirits are seated in heavenly places with Christ; we just haven’t mostly learned how to engage with it. But we’re there, so our spirit is active even if we’re not aware of what we’re doing. But we can become more aware as our soul and spirit begin to learn how to engage—until we don’t need to consciously engage because it’s just happening.

I can engage right now with whatever I might be doing in the spirit realm, but most of the time, I don’t need to, because that actually gives me more time to be here in a way that enables me to be at peace and at rest. It allows me to be a demonstration of that and to live it out with a more creational perspective. Before, I was so focused on what I was doing in the spirit realm that the earthly realm almost seemed secondary. But God really showed me the value of this realm—of living here and outworking who we are there, here: “on earth as it is in heaven“—in a way that made me much more connected to creation. I had more time to feel and sense what was going on around me, whereas before, my focus was so much on what I was doing in heaven that earthly things seemed less important. But actually, it’s creation that is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God, longing to be set free.

The groan of creation

There is an aspect of our sonship that is very much about the restoration of how God intended things to be here. And I found that having a more relaxed way of living with creation around me enabled me to tune into that more—to feel that groan and sense what was going on. Sometimes, even the earth groans at what we do to it and what we do to ourselves. You often see physical events happening in the world when significant things happen with people. There’s a kind of disturbance that we can bring peace into. We don’t want so-called natural disasters to follow human disasters—if we can bring peace so that the earth doesn’t react to what’s happening among people.

Reconcile the earth

There’s a lot going on in the world right now—many places where things are unfolding. I believe that, as sons of God, we have the ability to bring peace into these situations. Even if external peace isn’t happening between people, we can still reconcile the earth itself so that there isn’t a reaction from creation to what’s going on. I think that’s really important—that we are peacemakers. It would be great if we could bring peace into every environment; but at the very least we can bring peace between the earth, the creation we are part of, and anything negative that is going on.

412. Beyond the Gospel | The mixture of faith and culture

Mike Parsons –

Mixture

The difficulty with what the Western world exported to Africa and beyond is that it was a mixture. We brought an evangelical gospel that wasn’t truly biblical, along with legalism, Victorian morality, and cultural traditions—things like formal Sunday attire and denominational structures. This mixture meant that alongside introducing people to Jesus, we also imposed religious systems and doctrines that were never part of the gospel.

Having spoken in Africa, I’ve personally apologised for this, recognising how British culture became entangled with the message of Christ, creating a rigid, legalistic system of religion. So I understand why people are challenging it—because I am too. I’ve been deconstructing my own beliefs, reassessing what I was taught, and recognising how much of it was shaped by religious programming rather than the truth.

But I’m not afraid of people questioning, because Jesus is the truth. He is the light, and he reveals himself. He has made himself known to people in places untouched by Western Christianity, even where his name was never spoken. Many missionary stories recount tribes saying, “We know him. He has visited us.” This proves that encountering Jesus is not confined to any one culture’s presentation of the gospel.

Religious baggage

So if people throw off religious baggage, I don’t fear they will lose their way. Truth and light always reveal who God truly is. And it doesn’t matter whether Jesus is seen as Black, White, Middle Eastern, or any other representation. Paul himself said he became all things to all people, and Jesus does the same—meeting people in ways they can relate to. Dr. O, for example, speaks of encountering Jesus as a Black man, which makes perfect sense in his context. Christ identified with all of humanity, taking on every identity to redeem us all.

Ultimately, these are external matters. Our true identity isn’t in race, culture, or background—it’s in being sons of God. When we fully know who we are, those externals no longer define us. It’s not wrong to celebrate them, but they don’t determine our worth. Who we are is the person God created, shaped and formed in his vast thoughts. That identity frees us from comparison, superiority or inferiority—we simply are who God made us to be.

Truth that transcends

God is restoring lost identity. Religion—and any system that tries to shape identity—inevitably distorts it into its own image. We must be shaped in God’s image, not by man-made constructs. Many seek their destiny, wanting to understand God’s plan for their lives. But your destiny scroll is simple: it’s you. Knowing who you are allows you to live out your purpose in any situation. There’s not just one predetermined path—many paths align with God’s heart, as long as they flow from true identity.

People want a detailed list of what they should be doing, because they are afraid of getting it wrong. They think God will be angry or disappointed with them, but he never is. He loves us and wants us to know and walk in the truth, living in daily relationship with him. That’s where our purpose unfolds—simply being who we are as sons, in union with the Father.

So I’m not concerned about cultural shifts or temporary changes. God is shaking man-made systems—religious, political, and otherwise—so that people stop placing their trust in them. The only unshakable thing is his kingdom, his rule, which is a rule of love. Seeing from a spiritual reality—God’s perspective—means embracing truth that transcends human constructs. And that truth will always challenge the perspectives we previously held.

Summary of the remainder of the video

True identity

We often define ourselves by circumstances or achievements, but our true identity is found in him. Transformation isn’t about striving—it’s about being. As we embrace intimacy with the Father, he reshapes us into who we were always meant to be. His thoughts lift us above earthly limitations, aligning us with his truth.

Romans 12 warns against being pressed into the world’s mould—letting external opinions and circumstances shape us. Instead, we are called to transformation (metamorphosis), like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. We are not meant to stay bound in the cocoon; we are meant to fly. We are called to live from our true identity, fully aligned in spirit, soul and body.

Transformation isn’t about striving but embracing the Father’s revelation of who we are. God gently reshapes our thinking, freeing us from past mindsets and religious distortions.

I don’t want to be shaped by a religious mould any more than I want to be shaped by a worldly mould – I want to be shaped by what God says and by what his intention was for me.

As his presence dwells in us, we manifest his love on earth. We were made to bring heaven to Earth, not shaped by the world or religion but by God’s original design. I don’t want to be shaped by a religious mould any more than I want to be shaped by a worldly mould – I want to be shaped by what God says and by what his intention was for me. When we live in intimacy with him, we reflect his heart and purpose in all we do.

No separation

Our identity is key—when we embrace it, we align with God’s original design, living in wholeness, free from sickness and limitation. Instead of striving to believe, we rest in heavenly truth, allowing it to transform our reality. True transformation comes from intimacy with God, from aligning with the Father’s heart, feeling what he feels, and acting from that place. Jesus fully embraced emotion—he laughed, cried, and was moved with compassion. We are called to do the same, not suppressing our feelings or allowing them to control us, but being guided by them as they flow in harmony with God’s love.

Oneness with God means there is no separation between his thoughts and ours. We don’t act independently but in complete union, embodying his love and reflecting his nature. As we embrace this reality, we become true ambassadors of his love, prioritising others above ourselves and living in the fullness of our divine identity.

Unconditional love

Loving unconditionally in this way is difficult for us because we are conditioned by our experience of relationships that come with expectations. God loves us unconditionally, allowing us to make choices, even wrong ones, without control or condemnation. He always seeks to bring good from our failures, never standing over us saying, “I told you so.” In human relationships, our love is tested when mistakes are made. Do we choose grace and understanding, or pride and the need to be right? True love prioritises relationship over being proven correct. The more we experience God’s love, the more we can reflect it—just as Jesus intended.

God seeks relationship

Sin is lost identity, not wrong behaviour. Religion emphasises behaviour, insisting that change is necessary to be accepted by God. As a result, many who don’t conform are excluded from our churches, not because they are unacceptable to God, but because they don’t fit denominational or cultural expectations. God requires nothing—he simply invites us to come as we are, and transformation follows in relationship with him.

Religion focuses on actions, but the deeper issue is separation from God. Adam and Eve chose independence, losing their sense of who they were. Ever since, humanity has struggled with shame and the illusion of separation, though God has never turned away.

God seeks relationship, not behaviour modification

God’s love invites us to return, not by fixing ourselves, but by embracing the identity he has already restored. Religion seeks to control through fear; but God seeks relationship, not behaviour modification. Living in our true identity frees us from sin-consciousness, and transforms how we live.

408. The Truth About Healing (Part 1): A Shift in Mindset and Identity

Mike Parsons – 

 

A state of living

Many people view healing as something to receive from God rather than a state of living in health (and ultimately, immortality). I believe this is where a mindset shift is needed.

A lot of people believe that God heals. Some believe that the Kingdom of God is ‘now and not yet,’ so they can give themselves an excuse—“Well, it’s not yet, so it might not happen.” Others believe healing is included in the atonement—that Jesus died for our sickness just as He did for our sin and death, because they are all interconnected. The wages of sin is death, and sickness is what leads to death, so these things are linked to our lost identity.

Identity and inheritance

Sin is a loss of identity, so if the wages of lost identity is death, then knowing who we truly are brings life. But we have to know who we are. Many people have a general Christian sense of what the Bible says, but do they truly know their identity? Do they know that health, wholeness, and even immortality are part of their inheritance? As children of God, our inheritance includes the fullness of abundant life—health, wholeness, and all the blessings God desires for us.

Many people struggle to love their bodies. Some have bought into the belief that since their body will die one day, it’s inevitable that it will deteriorate. If everyone dies, then surely the body must break down at some point. This is a deeply ingrained way of thinking. But I believe this perspective needs to change.

The body as an equal

Recognising our identity also means recognising that our body is just as important as our spirit and soul. It’s not a lesser part of us—it’s not something temporary that will simply wear out before we receive a new one. Spirit, soul and body are meant to function in union, without contradiction or competition. When we understand this, we can begin to see that within the core of our innermost being, we have the capacity to generate health. The River of Life flows within us, supplying the energy needed to renew and replenish the cells of our physical bodies.

Unfortunately, much of evangelical teaching has treated the body as secondary—something to be discarded one day, so the focus is on the soul and spirit. But we need to honour our body just as much as our spirit and soul. This means loving our body, cooperating with it, treating it with respect, honour and blessing.

A healthy lifestyle

You cannot abuse your body and expect it to remain whole. If we truly love and value our body as much as our spirit and soul, we will care for it accordingly. This includes how we eat, how we rest, and how we maintain our overall health. Some assume, “Well, God will take care of it,” but we are also responsible for working together with Him—spirit, soul, and body together. There are practical things we can do to support our health, such as ensuring we get proper nutrition, taking necessary vitamins, and maintaining a balanced diet. It’s not about extreme diets or fads, but about balance—avoiding excessive sugar and salt, understanding what it means to nourish ourselves properly.

It’s also about maintaining a healthy lifestyle—getting enough sleep, exercising, and having a mindset of love and care towards our body. When we truly value our body, we will look after it. We cannot expect to live in health if we consistently abuse our body.

400. Living in Union with God: Embracing Our Original Design

Mike Parsons

God wants to take it deeper

As individuals and as humanity as a whole, all we, like sheep, have gone astray, following our own path of independence. But God proactively came to seek and save that which was lost. The Good Shepherd sought out the lost sheep—and still does. He is continually seeking those who are living in lost identity. And a lot of Christians are still living in lost identity, even though they have a relationship with God at a certain level. Whatever level of relationship we have, God wants to take it deeper. He doesn’t want us to remain in the same place.

Mankind may have turned away from God to live in that lost identity and independence, but God never turned away from us. God, as Father, has always seen us as His children through the lens of love. He has always desired that we all return to our first love—our origin. This is the key, and there are a number of Bible verses that speak about this love and its depth. , For example,

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, neither things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing [including ourselves] will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).

That’s quite a statement, but it’s based in God and not in us. It’s not based on our ability to maintain a certain standard. It’s purely a statement of God’s grace, mercy and love. The Mirror Bible puts it like this:

This is my conviction: no threat—whether it be in death or life, be it angelic beings, demon powers, or political principalities, nothing known to us at this time or even in the unknown future, no dimension of any calculation in time or space, nor any device yet to be invented—has what it takes to separate us from the love of God demonstrated in Christ Jesus, our ultimate authority (Romans 8:38-39 Mirror).

Relationship

When we go back through Romans 8, we see there are a number of things that lead up to that passage which are talking about our relationship with God. Romans 8:14 says:

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons and daughters of God.

As we come into union with Him, joined to God—not separated from Him in our own understanding—we become one spirit with Him. This union enables our spirit to mature, to grow, and to develop into who we were always intended to be. It helps us discover who we were before we came here.

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again… (Romans 8:15a).

Yet how many people became Christians and, through the church or religion, ended up back in fear—living in works of appeasement to an angry God? But God is a loving Father. He wants us to know the truth: we are sons and daughters.

… but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters, by which we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’ (Romans 8:15b).

This was impossible under the old covenant. Crying out “Abba, Father” is a new covenant reality. Jesus came to reveal His relationship with His Father so that it could become our relationship with our Father too.

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8:16).

This is what happens in this union: the Spirit testifies to our innermost being, confirming that we are children of God. Not only that, but we always have been; we always will be—we will never, ever not be children of God.

And if children, heirs also—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. (Romans 8:17).

Now, this is where the way this is written may challenge some people because it uses the word ‘if.’ However, this ‘if’ is not conditional, as though we need to do something to make it happen. Instead, it is a declarative statement, affirming that something has already taken place: because we are children, we are heirs. Heirs of what? Heirs of God Himself and fellow heirs, co-heirs with Christ in the whole of creation. And “if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him,” is not suggesting that we must endure suffering to earn glory. Instead, it means that we identify with His sufferings because He went through them for us. We don’t have to go through it, other than by identifying with Him.

We originate in God

So if we go back again and read those verses in the Mirror Bible:

The original life of the Father revealed in His Son is the life the Spirit now conducts within us.

So the spirit is now looking, with the Father and the Son, to reveal our original origin and identity, the original life that He intended us to
have as children of God in relationship.

Slavery is such a poor substitute for sonship. They are opposites. The one leads forcibly through fear, while sonship responds fondly to Abba, Father.

This is what God desires: for us to engage with Him as Abba, Father, Daddy, without fear—resting instead in wonderful peace and intimacy.

Verse 16:
His Spirit resonates within our spirit to confirm the fact that we originate in God.

Through this process, God is showing us our origin—who we really are, from the beginning, so that who we are now will be in alignment with who we were in the beginning, not as a product of our lives up to this point.

Because we are His offspring, we qualify to be heirs. This isn’t something we earn—it’s purely by grace. God Himself is our portion. We co-inherit with Christ, since we were represented and included in His suffering. This is very different than us going through suffering. We were already included in His suffering, and we equally participate in the glory of His resurrection. This isn’t something that happens in ‘Glory’ (as they used to call heaven); this is something that can happen now—because as He has been resurrected, so also we died with Him and we are now alive with Him, to fully embrace the glory of that resurrection power that reveals who we really are. You could say that ‘who we really are’ is our glory. It is our true identity, the clothing of that glorious nature we have as children of God.

390. The Essence of Wisdom: Living in Union with the Father

When we think of wisdom, we often consider it as insight into what to do in a particular situation. However, wisdom is more about understanding the heart of the Father in that situation. We are then motivated by the Father’s heart, not by a set of actions we feel we must take. The expression of the Father’s heart can be revealed in many different ways, as there isn’t just one prescribed way to act. There are multiple ways that people might respond to a situation, all in line with the Father’s heart.

‘Cardiognosis’ refers to the heart-to-heart relationship in which the Father constantly reveals His heart to us, in every situation we face. We are called to be an expression of that heart in every dynamic of our lives. Wisdom, therefore, is the expression of the Father’s heart through us. It is being who we are in each moment, reflecting the heart of the Father. To understand the Father’s heart is to know Him intimately. It is through this experiential knowledge that we are guided and directed. Wisdom is the outworking of the Father’s heart within us, shaping our actions.

Many people seek to know their purpose, their scroll, or their destiny—what they are supposed to do. However, God doesn’t reveal to us what we are supposed to do; rather, He reveals who we are. When God shows us who we are in relationship with Him, He also reveals His heart. This allows us to outwork His heart through our own identity.

The scroll is, in fact, a revelation of who we are, not a list of tasks we must accomplish. This mindset challenges the common view, which often revolves around a works-based mentality—what do I need to do, what is God’s will? But God does not necessarily reveal His will in specifics; He reveals His heart, and from that place of intimacy, we act.

Jesus exemplified this perfectly: He only did what He saw the Father doing. This wasn’t about seeing a specific action; it was about the revelation of the Father’s heart. Jesus lived in constant union with the Father, expressing this oneness throughout His life. Jesus said, “I and the Father are one. If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father,” and this is how God wants us to be too. When people see us, they should see the Father because we are His sons and daughters.

Knowing the Father’s heart frees us, allowing us to express ourselves in line with His heart without rigid formulas. The Father’s heart is expressed differently through each of us because we are all unique. When we engage with others, we do so from our individual perspectives, which are shaped by our redemptive gifts and the way God made us.

This diversity is essential. If we all engage in the same situation, each of us will express the Father’s heart differently based on who we are. This is why we need more than one person to reflect the Father’s heart—it’s not about performing an exact action but about being the person God created us to be.

This understanding of wisdom brings freedom. We don’t need to strive to do things “the right way” or fear doing something wrong. Instead, we are free to be an expression of God’s heart—expressing His love to those around us. When we engage with others, we are sharing God’s love and passion for them. This creates a deep connection where people feel how much God cares for them.

In every situation, I can be an expression of the Father’s heart. It doesn’t matter if I know exactly what to do or if I am following a specific set of actions. What matters is that I am being me—an expression of God’s heart. My scroll isn’t a checklist of tasks, but the freedom to live as God designed me.

This freedom is rooted in intimacy. To know the Father’s heart, we must be close to Him; we cannot engage from a distance or through mere intellectual understanding. Cardiognosis is a heart-to-heart union with God, where His heart is continually revealed to us, and we receive it deeply, not just in our heads, but in our hearts.

As we grow in intimacy with God, we will begin to experience the illumination of our hearts. This deeper, instinctive understanding will guide us in outworking the Father’s heart. It’s not always about doing something specific—it’s about being the person God made us to be, reflecting His love and wisdom in every moment.
