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.

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.

384. Spiritual Senses | Learning to see beyond the physical

Mike Parsons

I think practice helps, but ultimately it’s about desire, relationship, and intention. Discipline often gets framed as just trying harder or forcing yourself to practise even when you don’t feel like it. But in reality, it’s not about effort; it’s about relaxing into it. When it comes to ascending or engaging spiritually, the easiest and best thing to do is relax. Meditation and engaging with God are always better when you’re relaxed.

Don’t approach it with an agenda. Don’t force it or try to control it. Just set your heart’s desire on the Father, on Jesus, and let them lead the encounter. Whether the encounter comes as a vision or just an impression doesn’t really matter. When you talk about engaging through the eyes of your imagination, think of it as the screen where everything happens in your mind. That’s where you perceive, hear, see, smell, or otherwise sense things. It’s the place where both natural and spiritual stimuli are interpreted.

The brain processes spiritual senses in a similar way to how it processes physical senses—through electrical impulses. These impulses come from stimuli, whether physical or spiritual, and the brain learns to interpret them. Just as a child learns language through repeated exposure to sounds, we learn to interpret spiritual senses over time. It’s a process of practice, repetition, and intention.

If your desire is to engage with the Father, start by simply ‘being’, relaxed and present. Don’t put an agenda on it. Let him set the agenda. When you open yourself up to him without a specific goal in mind, you create space for him to reveal what you need to know and experience. It becomes a journey—a walk with him.

For example, when it comes to things like portals, I’ve never tried to force my way through one. The Father led me through them when the time was right. Early on, I didn’t even go through portals; I just observed things coming through them. Later, when the Father led me to a portal, I went through it because he took me there, not because I pushed my way in. It’s about letting him lead instead of striving to figure everything out on your own.

I used to be the kind of person who always needed to know, to understand, to push through and figure things out. But that was me operating in my own strength, trying to validate myself. When God separated my soul and spirit and then reintegrated them, it set me free from that need. I didn’t have to pursue knowledge or understanding in the same way anymore. Now, I can simply be open to whatever experience he wants to give me.

Sometimes my experiences aren’t visual at all. They’re more like a deep knowing or perception. For example, I’ve journaled encounters with my eyes open, writing down what I was experiencing as if I were seeing it, even though I wasn’t seeing anything physically. The encounter was real—it was just perceived differently.

When it comes to engaging spiritually, start internally. Focus on the garden of your heart, your spirit, and your first love for God. Let the rivers of living water flow, lie down in green pastures, rest by quiet waters. Let the Father set the agenda—what he wants to show you, talk to you about, or take you into. Then, as you follow him, those experiences will naturally unfold.

Don’t try to force things. If he wants to take you through a portal, great! If not, that’s fine too. The key is not to push for an experience just because you want one. Instead, ask the Father to open up what that experience is meant to be and then learn to listen and sense his voice. When you go with his voice, you don’t need to set or force an agenda. Just relax and enjoy the journey he’s taking you on.

That journey will lead you to discover who you truly are. And as you step into that identity, you’ll begin to express it naturally, living out the Father’s heart in your everyday life and circumstances. It’s about being who you were always meant to be and letting that flow out into everything you do.

377. Living in Rest

Mike Parsons – 

The Active Spirit

Your spirit is active all the time. What God wants most people to realise is that their spirit is always doing the Heavenly work, allowing us to handle the earthly things without needing to think about it, plan it, or programme it. Living in that state of rest is the key to everything. When Jesus walked the earth, he existed in a state of rest with the Father, knowing the Father’s heart. The Father did not have to tell him to “do this” or “do that”; Jesus simply knew the Father’s heart through relationship and intimacy. When Jesus came across the Widow of Nain’s son, he was moved by the compassion of the Father’s heart to raise that person from the dead. He did not need a predetermined list of things to do; he simply followed life.

Being and Doing

You do not have to be doing nothing in order to “be.” Being is a state of consciousness and awareness; it does not reflect what you are physically doing. You could be taking a long walk, working in the garden, or doing practical things. I love gardening, and when I am tending to the garden, I feel close to the Father, who planted gardens. I enjoy being actively engaged in gardening and feel the pleasure of the Father’s heart while doing it. It is not that I am doing nothing; rather, I am simply not driven to perform an action for spiritual reasons. Meditating and engaging with the Father’s heart can happen while I am in the workshop, making something from wood, or on a walk in the countryside, or even lying in the sun and resting.

Gratitude and Thanksgiving

Rejoicing, gratitude, and thanksgiving express one’s attitude towards God simply for who He is. I love to thank Him—for all the wonderful things in my life, for the garden I tend, for the sunshine, and even for the rain that waters the ground. Such an attitude fosters fellowship and a sense of peace. I am at peace with myself and enjoy life. If the Father desires to show me something or guide me, I am available; He can do so whenever He wishes. Even while physically resting or sleeping, my spirit remains active, contributing to the present moment. God is present in everything, wherever I am or whatever I am doing. He wants us to enjoy life, not out of obligation or duty, but in gratitude and celebration of His creation. The joy of our spirit actively brings forth an appreciation of life in all its moments, allowing us to live with peace and purpose.

376. Unlocking Abundant Life

Mike Parsons  

Misunderstanding and mistranslation

Isaiah 53 is a widely misunderstood and mistranslated passage. Often, the concept of the “suffering servant” has been used to support the idea of penal substitutionary atonement, suggesting that God punished Jesus. However, that was not the case; it was people who inflicted that suffering. Jesus frequently referenced the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Old Testament, which presents these scriptures differently. For example, in Isaiah 53:10, the traditional Hebrew text states it was the Lord’s will to “crush him with pain” by making his life a reparation offering. But in the Septuagint, it reads that it was the Lord’s will to “purify him” or “heal him of pain”—the pain we placed upon him. Therefore, Jesus did not die for our sins but rather because of our sins. The wages of sin led to death, and Jesus took on death to overcome it and bring life.

In the New Testament, Peter affirms that Jesus carried our sicknesses and went to the cross not only for our lost identity but also to deal with sickness. He addressed the consequences of sin that resulted in death, as “the wages of sin is death,” not punishment. This is relevant to the passage in Isaiah, which states that “by his scourging we are healed.” The scourging, or whipping, was not inflicted by God, but by people. This suffering enables us to be fully restored and healed. Reading Isaiah 52 alongside chapter 53 highlights the travesty of justice that Jesus endured, a profound injustice as an innocent person was punished by human hands, not by God. This passage, misinterpreted through the lens of penal substitution, truly reveals that God was not inflicting punishment on the suffering servant; rather, Jesus’ suffering was an act of injustice inflicted by others.

Continual communion with God

Years ago, I explored the Bible to understand its teachings on healing and health. I discovered that God is my healer, and Jesus’ actions on the cross made healing possible, allowing me to experience health and wholeness. Over time, I have come to see that I can be healed, live in health, and even transcend death itself. Jesus’ work on the cross means I am not just spiritually saved to reach heaven but can also live free from physical death. This realisation shapes my daily practice: I take communion, symbolically taking on the life of God, and receiving it as a cleansing and transformation. By living in communion, I partake in this life continually. Rivers of living water flow within me, providing health and wholeness from the Tree of Life.

I draw from this life force, a quantum field that God has created to sustain the entire universe, which in turn sustains me. I could see this as rivers of living water, light energy or spirit, reflecting my existence within an environment meant to be self-healing, self-restoring, and self-repairing. This aligns with God’s original design for the body, which should be able to restore and repair itself. However, because of death’s presence in the body, ageing results, disrupting its natural function. Ideally, the body would communicate within itself, signalling the immune system to identify areas needing repair, restoration, or replacement. This process operates within the mitochondria of the cells, yet that communication apparently slows down or fails to work as we get older. So, we need to make sure that our cells are communicating. I can communicate that to my body, and I can communicate with the cells of my body and remind my body of its immortal state. I can speak to my body in that way, live in that communion and fellowship of life and immortality, and live in that atmosphere. That will be my thoughts, my intentions aligned to God’s thoughts and intentions.

Transition

There are also things you can do to help with that. There is a liquid you can drink called ASEA, which actually restores the cell’s ability to repair themselves. You can also get a gel called Renew, which I have seen miraculously restore burns and do things very quickly, because it is designed to cause the body to self-repair and self-heal efficiently and effectively. Now, that is a transitionary thing until we can begin to think and function in health and immortality in our own thinking and begin to live in that environment where health, wholeness, life, and immortality are the norm.

Breathing in life

So, you know, I have had various stages along the way of realising that God desires me to live in health, that God desires me to be immortal, and to have that function. Therefore, I take on that life, so now every time I breathe, communion for me has gone from something I did to something that I now am. So I am in communion with life; I am partaking in life. When I breathe in, I am breathing in life, just as God breathed into Adam, and he became a living being. I am breathing in the life of God. I am living in rarefied air, if you like; I am breathing in life, breathing in energy, breathing in wholeness. That is the fellowship I live in—that is, in a sense, where I live in communion with life, and I have no communion or agreement with death, sickness, or disease. I know it takes time for this to become something we live in and not try to attain. This is my reality; this is the reality I live in.

Accidents

Now, of course, at times I have to focus that intention in my body, like when you mentioned accidents. I have had accidents. In fact, I had an accident this week in which I slipped on a slippery paving stone, went up in the air, came down, and my whole side landed on the edge of a railway sleeper and really hurt. Therefore, I am having to focus on basically apologising to my body for that accident. Although I could not say it was my fault, and I was not in any way careless, it was just slippery, and I did not realise. But I still engaged my body. Now, I am communicating with my body for the removal of the pain.

Now, pain, in a sense, is something that says something is wrong. So, at the moment, my ribs and all the way down my back are—well, my ribs are very, very sore, but I am working with my body for its restoration. But I have to be sensible. There are some things that I think, okay, I am going to push through this, and I am just going to ignore it, and I am going to get on with it. Then, there are times where I think, no, I need to rest now, I need to give my body time to repair and to restore itself and to repair the damage done to my ribs, intercostal muscles, and all around that area. So, I focus my intention on that area, and I begin to choose the reality that my body will come into a restored, repaired, healthy state. Sometimes it takes time; you can have a miracle in which all of the pain goes and all of the problem goes, or you can work with your body in your thinking and in your positive mental attitude in choosing restoration and choosing health and wholeness, and choosing the reality that you will come into a whole state.

Jesus healed in different ways

Jesus healed people in different ways. One of the words used for healing was “therapeuo,” which is where we get “therapy” from, and that indicates a process. So, sometimes there is a process, sometimes it is instant. Obviously, we would all prefer it to be instant, but sometimes we have to work through the process, coming to agreement. Yes, I have done court cases and things with my body years ago, apologised, and did all that, so that my body would have no offence against me, and therefore, my body would be working in cooperation with me because I am one—body, soul, and spirit. I am one, you know.

Abundant life

But it is a process and a matter of thinking and realising that what he did on the cross was to bring me into the wholeness of life. What happened on the cross was an injustice because he did not deserve to go to the cross, and God did not do any of that to him on the cross; man did. But he was representing man and taking man’s desire for punishment, and thereby brought about the resurrection and overcame death. Therefore, to overcome death, you have to overcome sickness, and he overcame sickness so that we could live in the abundance of life.

So, I would encourage you to continue with communion. See communion as a state of being, so that with every breath you take, you are receiving life, energy, health, and wholeness. Just see that begin to bring about the changes in your physical body to align with the truth of Him actually taking on all the associations of death and giving us abundant life.

374. Aligning with God’s Heart in Co-creating

Mike Parsons

Aligning with God’s Heart and Purpose

When it comes to framing or co-creating, the key is aligning yourself with God’s heart and purpose. This is not something you can do by your own strength or for your own ends; it must be rooted in God’s intentions. Intimacy with the Father is essential. Understanding the Father’s heart—whether through personal direction or what you might call a ‘heart-to-heart’ infusion—enables you to align yourself with His will. Once you know you are in sync with God’s heart, you can then begin to frame your life accordingly.

Framing your life involves nurturing or ‘brooding’ over what you want to bring into existence. Just as a hen sits on her eggs until they hatch, you must incubate your intentions. If you are double-minded, it will not work. You are effectively creating a reality where light and the enabling power of God respond to your expectations, collapsing a wave function to bring that reality into being. It is crucial that you observe and speak as though this reality has already occurred. As God calls things into existence, so too must you align your words and authority with His, speaking with conviction and faith.

Brooding

The process of framing often starts with God’s promises. If you are seeking first the Kingdom, you can confidently expect those promises to be fulfilled. This means framing your life around expectation, calling forth God’s protection, provision, and direction for each day. You are not merely wishing for things; you are living from the expectation that you will have everything you need, with an abundance for every good work.

This framing process creates an atmosphere around your life that draws in the reality of God’s promises. However, it cannot be done out of anxiety, fear, or worry. You must be in a state of rest, characterised by contentment, peace, and joy, with an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude. Even before you receive what you are calling into existence, you must live as if it is already yours. Gratitude and thanksgiving are vital components of this process because they reinforce your faith that what you are framing is already a reality.

Speaking with Authority

When co-creating, whether calling forth new realities or framing promises around your life, you need clarity. You cannot randomly decide to create something—like calling 15 angels into being—without knowing that you have permission to do so. As a son of God, once you know you have that permission, you can call things into existence that did not previously exist. For example, I have created guardians after receiving permission from the Father, brooding over the intention until I knew it was aligned with God’s heart. Once I had that assurance, I spoke with the voice of God and the guardians manifested. There was no doubt or double-mindedness, just a clear understanding that I was acting with God’s authority.

Intimacy and Rest

Framing your life around God’s promises begins with intimacy and rest. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, and we are called to operate in the same way. This is not about manipulation or control; it is about aligning your life with God’s purposes and seeking to bless others. You cannot use this process to manipulate people or situations to your advantage. Instead, you can call forth opportunities to bless others or to meet people you can help. It is a process rooted in love, aimed at bringing out the best for yourself and others.

Expect that there will be a process involved. Jesus said that when you pray, believe you have received, and you will receive. This means living in an attitude of thanksgiving, gratitude, and contentment, trusting that what you are framing will manifest in time. Some things may happen instantly, while others may take longer. It is important to avoid negative thoughts or speech that could undermine what you are working towards. Stay positive, remain at rest, and keep your focus on your intimacy with the Father.

Ultimately, you can frame your life according to your destiny and identity as a son of God. This involves calling forth the wisdom, insight, resources, and everything else you need to fulfil your God-given purpose. By framing your life in this way, you can live with the expectation that everything necessary for your journey will be available to you.

373. Salvation is NOT ‘Going to Heaven When You Die’

Mike Parsons

Wholeness Now

Salvation is not about “going to heaven after death.” Surprisingly, the words “saved” and “heaven” never appear together in the Bible. Salvation means restoration to wholeness in the present, not something that happens after death. The idea of being “promoted to heaven” or “crossing the Jordan” is part of a religious system that has promoted a mistaken tradition.

Salvation is about experiencing wholeness here and now, bringing us into the true identity of who we are. If you have been indoctrinated to think that your salvation depends on your efforts in any way, you will remain stuck in trying to secure it. This was my experience, coming from an evangelical background, where salvation seemed to depend on my ability to trust God, my faith, or what I did in asking God into my life.

Rather than realising what had already been accomplished, I viewed salvation as an ongoing effort—trying to be good enough and acceptable to God through practices like reading the Bible, praying every day, witnessing, and fulfilling the perceived requirements of being a “good Christian.” But who said we were supposed to do those things? Jesus did not—the church did. Deconstruction is the process of removing that indoctrination and replacing it with truth, renewing and transforming our minds.

All of humanity is included

Even if someone does not believe they are saved, they still are; they just do not believe it yet. This is the truth: all of humanity is included in what the Father already accomplished through Jesus to forgive, redeem, and reconcile us to himself. The work is finished, and everyone has been declared righteous, justified, and forgiven. Whether or not someone believes this truth, it remains the truth.

The New Covenant was made between the Father and the Son and included all of humanity. Teaching that we must make a free will decision to be included is ‘a church-invented heresy’, as Don Keithley says. “Our free will decision is simply to accept what has already happened, to realise that we are already included—not to make it happen. If Jesus included the doubter, Thomas, the denier, Peter, and the traitor, Judas, I seriously doubt anyone is excluded from his work today.”

No one is excluded from what Jesus came to do and to finish. He came to take away the sin—the lost identity—of the world, not just a few people but the whole world, and every person in it. What we believe about God does not define him, and our doctrines do not even define us, though they often label us. Many of us have been labelled by what we believe, whether Baptist, Charismatic, Pentecostal, Anglican, or any other denomination. But God knows the truth about us, and what he knows, demonstrated in Christ, is what defines us.

Equal Value

Jesus is what God believes about us. The love God has for his Son, Jesus, is the same love He has for us. When we are reconciled to God, it is important to understand that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. The term ‘world’ here is the Greek word kosmos, and ‘reconciliation’ in this sense is an accounting term. The debit and credit must balance.

The value we hold for God is the same value God holds for Jesus. This is a profound truth: we are of equal value to God as Jesus. Understanding this is key to grasping the fullness of our identity and value in the eyes of God.

The truth that sets us free

Adam’s choice to walk independently of God did not change the nature of God the Father. God still desires a relationship with us, just as he did with Adam. The Father still longs to walk with us in the garden, to restore that relationship. We need to see that this relationship can be restored, and this realisation is an essential part of our journey.

Deconstruction takes different forms. Some people reject the conditional love taught by religion and walk away from organised faith, while others discover unconditional love outside of religion. God is love, and this is a fundamental truth. However, God does not deconstruct us by focusing on the lies we believe, but by revealing the truth that sets us free. This process renews our minds to the truth, and in doing so, those false beliefs naturally fall away.

The truth we know through experience will set us free. So let us focus on positive solutions, not negative problems. Do not try to deconstruct your beliefs with the same thinking that created them. Instead, allow God to encounter you in such a way that it changes what you believe, leading to a transformation based on truth, not on doctrine.

The ‘Second Coming’

Many Christians are still waiting for the second coming of Jesus. However, as I have discussed before, the ‘second coming’ already happened, in AD 70. This means that many are looking for the wrong event. Creation does not recognise Christians waiting to be rescued; it recognises sons and daughters who are living out the truth. Religion has deeply ingrained in us a fear of the future—the fear of tribulation, of the rapture, of trouble to come.

But we do not not need to fear the future. The Spirit of Truth was given so that we, as sons and daughters, might shape the future. Fear never comes from God, and perfect love casts out fear. Therefore, let’s ensure we are not operating out of fear, worrying about what might happen tomorrow, but instead live in the blessing and provision of today. There is no ‘Great Tribulation’ on the horizon. There may be personal tribulations, but God will be with us through them. The biblical ‘Great Tribulation’ was the end of the old age, the age of the old covenant, and it has already passed.

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.

361. Quantum Entanglement | Face to Face with God

Mike Parsons 

A State of Being

When it comes to engaging with God throughout my day, much of it is more of a state of being rather than actively going and doing something. I find myself face to face in the spirit realm with God, heart to heart, all the time. It’s a multi-dimensional way of living, where you’re not always consciously doing something with your soul or mind. However, that doesn’t mean you aren’t spiritually engaged constantly. My soul is quantumly entangled and connected, so at the core of my being, I’m always connected to Heaven and to God.

Sometimes this connection is a cognitive engagement where we talk and share. But more often, it’s just a heart-to-heart connection—what I call ‘cardiognosis’, or knowledge of the heart, where I’m in tune with Him. My spirit is engaged, and I benefit from the flow of life, energy, revelation and truth by simply being with Him, rather than by doing many things. I actively enjoy life here, whether I’m working outside, talking to people, or doing my daily tasks. I draw on the Spirit within me, without feeling the need to do something specific to connect with God.

Resting in God’s Presence

This way of being is never a religious chore; there’s nothing I ‘have’ to do. I enjoy being in that state of rest and peace, and I remain consciously sensitive to the Father’s presence or Jesus within me, no matter what I’m doing. Whether I’m gardening, working in my workshop, or out in the fresh air, I find joy in these activities because I know God loves them too. After all, God is a great gardener, and Jesus was a carpenter. Sometimes I feel inspired, and sometimes I just sense that they’re enjoying my company as I go about my day.

I don’t engage in a lot of religious practices; instead, I enjoy just being. I enjoy hanging out, chatting and taking walks. Even when doing something mundane, like you testing milk or other routine tasks, I can still feel that connection to God’s peace and rest. The religious system often tries to convince us that we’re not doing well enough, but the truth is, God’s love is unconditional. He doesn’t place conditions on His love; He wants us to know that we’re approved and affirmed just as we are.

God simply wants relationship

God doesn’t see anyone as more important than another. He loves us all equally, even though we each have different roles in life. From God’s perspective, we are all His children, and if we can truly grasp that, we can free ourselves from the pressure of trying to serve or please God out of obligation. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing—there was no list of tasks. Instead, He was in constant relationship with the Father. This is what Jesus was describing in John 14 when He said, “Where I am, you may be also.” He was talking about an intimate relationship of rest.

Jesus invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. The world and the religious system often push us towards stress, striving and worry about whether we’re doing enough. But God simply wants a relationship with us. He doesn’t want servants or slaves; He wants to share life with us, enjoying our common interests.

Thankful for God’s presence

I love sharing my life with God, sensing His joy in being with me, without feeling the need to do religious tasks. I encourage you to relax, enjoy life, and take moments throughout your day to centre yourself and refocus on that place of rest. I know that when you’re busy, you need to stay focused on what you’re doing. But every now and then, it helps to pause and be thankful for God’s presence. When I first started doing this, I set my watch to ping every hour, reminding me to refocus, be grateful, and acknowledge God’s presence with me.

This practice helped me to approach my work, not as something I ‘had’ to do, but as something I did with joy. If you are testing milk, you are serving others; I see it as a way of blessing people. Everything I do is done as before God, and that makes it a blessing. I don’t worry about whether I’m doing enough because I know God’s love is unconditional. If I did nothing, He would love me just the same, and if I were busy all day, He wouldn’t love me any more.

My identity comes from being in Him, not from what I do. No matter who you are or what you do, God sees you as He created you to be. He wants us to discover our true selves, freeing us from the sense of duty and religious obligation. God doesn’t want us to do things for Him; He wants us to do things with Him. Living in that place of rest, in partnership with God, is a completely different way of being.

355. Lucid Dreams and Creative Intent

Mike Parsons – Mystic Mentoring U.S. Eastern | 22nd July 2024

Video Description:

Mike delves into the fascinating connection between lucid dreaming and divine communication and explores how God may choose to speak to us during our sleep, free from the distractions of our waking life. By examining the similarities between lucid dreams and visions, Mike encourages viewers to seek spiritual insights and understand the purpose behind their encounters and emphasises the power of speaking with divine authority, allowing individuals to manifest their intentions through their words.

Video Highlights:

1. Understanding Lucid Dreams as Divine Communication

Ultimately, if we’re open and we have a lucid type dream experience, it’s because God wants to speak to us in that way. It could be that it’s more difficult for Him to speak to us while we’re awake for various reasons—whether we’re distracted or, you know, sometimes it can just be harder. When you’re asleep, there’s less conscious activity around you, which can be a distraction because that’s all outside of your ability to interpret when you’re asleep. So, ask Him to show you if He has some insight for you, and whether He has a particular purpose for each encounter you’re having.

I don’t see a difference between lucid dreams and visions—lucid visions, if you like. They’re basically the same sort of encounter, just one happens when you’re asleep and the other when you’re awake.

2. Divine Communication During Sleep

Dreams—I’m not really the best person to ask about dreams in terms of Godly dreams, as I don’t get many, if any, that I’m aware of. However, God does speak to people through dreams. The only differentiation between a lucid dream and a vision is that you’re asleep rather than awake when you have it. They’re basically the same experience but in different formats. If you’re conscious of what’s going on in the dream and engaging with it, there’s no difference between that and being conscious in a vision and engaging with it.

If it’s a lucid dream and you’re interacting with it, then it’s possible that it’s a dream God is giving you and you’re in an encounter with Him. The other people who come into the dream may be part of that encounter—they could be visionary, meaning God is showing you a person and interacting, or that person’s spirit might be engaging in your dream. Again, it’s all about discerning what God’s purpose is for the experience. You need to go back to God and ask Him to show you what He was trying to communicate and the significance of a particular person, whether known or unknown, within your dream.

A lot of people have visionary experiences but don’t know what they’re about, so they have to go back to God and ask. If you’re interacting with the dream and things are happening, those things can be actual events, or they could be symbolic. Again, you have to discern that. For example, in many of the visionary encounters and experiences I’ve had, I was actively engaging, and things were happening to me. If I was in conversation with God during that experience, I could trust what He was saying. If God wasn’t there and I was simply seeing things or doing things, I would be more cautious about my interpretation of what was happening. Usually, I would check with God to ensure that I wasn’t putting my own spin on it.

3. Lucid Dreams vs. Visions

When I first encountered things like the High Chancellor’s houses, and Wisdom took me there, I engaged with the high chancellors and all of the houses. God wasn’t directly present in that encounter, but I believe He totally inspired it. Wisdom interacted with me on God’s behalf in many different ways, but I always went back and asked God for deeper insight. I wanted to make sure that the experience was pure, that I wasn’t interpreting it through my own filters or understanding it through my own experiences. I would always be more cautious when God wasn’t directly involved, but if He was showing me something or speaking to me, I was more confident that it was from Him.

As I became more experienced in these encounters, I grew more confident in my ability to discern and record them accurately. So, if you’re having lucid dreams, it might be worth asking God if you can have similar experiences while you’re awake. That way, you can engage with the experience more fully and perhaps even journal it as it happens. If a particular person appears in your dream and you’re unsure what to do about it, ask God to show you. Sometimes, a person might appear in a dream to prompt you to pray for them or protect them in some way. Over time, as you journey through these encounters and experiences, your discernment will grow, and you’ll become more able to understand what God is communicating to you.

4. Engaging with the Cloud of Witnesses

So, I do have another question, similar to this one: Have you ever engaged with the cloud of witnesses? You know, the people mentioned in Hebrews who didn’t fulfil their promises during their lifetimes. Has the Father ever asked you, as He did with the Guardians, to help fulfil those promises?

Yes, in a way, we are fulfilling all their unfulfilled promises simply by operating in this New Covenant relationship with God. They were all looking forward to the day that we now live in. Abraham and Moses, for example, saw something of the future. It says that Abraham saw Jesus’ day and was glad. They foresaw something, but it couldn’t be fulfilled in their time or through the Old Covenant. Fulfilment could only come through the New Covenant.

So, I often see the things we’re doing now as the manifestation of what they longed for but couldn’t fully realise in their time. Some people might say that they are surrounding us, cheering us on, because they want to see the full expression of what they could only partially experience in their history.

I’ve personally engaged with Jacob and Esther. They helped me fulfil or see the current fulfilment of what they were going through. Jacob’s experience with an open heaven and the ladder to heaven—Beth-El, the house of God—is an expression of our lives today. We are now under an open heaven, we are the house of God, and God dwells in us. Jacob helped me see this, and I, in turn, helped him see its fulfilment in us. It was a joyful moment for him to see that what he spoke of in Genesis is being fulfilled in us.

Esther, too, engaged with me. I went to the cloud of witnesses and connected with her. Her message was that we are called to the kingdom for a time such as this, which caught my attention. But what really stood out was the process she had to go through to reach the point where she was willing to accept her calling. As a young Jewish girl, she didn’t want to be a concubine to a pagan king, but she had to accept that this was her calling and that God was going to use her to save her nation. She had to go through a process of purification and refining, not just physically but spiritually, to come to terms with God giving her this mission. She helped me see that each of us must go through changes of heart to accept who we are and who God has made us to be.

5. Speaking with Divine Authority

When we’re brooding, we take on the frequency of the Father’s heart. If our hearts need to change, that’s part of the process. We have to align with His heart and accept that this is our destiny. Sometimes there’s timing involved, and there are stages to the outworking of that timing.

When Jesus said He only did what He saw the Father doing, it was because He was in the Father’s heart, and the Father was in His. They were in total sync. Jesus engaged as a man for the revelation of how to outwork it on Earth. He didn’t just follow a list of instructions from the Father; He creatively chose to outwork the Father’s heart differently every day. There’s no formula—Jesus deliberately showed us that we need to be in tune with the Father’s desires but express them through ourselves.

When I engage with the Chamber of Destiny, that’s where I determine how to do this. I have the authority and know the Father’s heart, but the question is, how am I going to do this in line with who I am? It’s tempting to do it the way someone else has done it, but I always want to give myself the space to outwork it through who I am.

It’s not just about waving a magic wand and making things happen. That’s why I engage with living light, which connects to creation for its manifestation. I want to personally connect to creation through light and allow it to manifest a reality shift. This isn’t about forcing something to happen; it’s a relational connection. I’m not giving orders; I share the Father’s heart, and creation aligns creatively with that. It’s a living process, not just a technical one.
