When I used to think about the resurrection, my focus was very much on what Jesus did—overcoming death and defeating sin, and all of that. But as I’ve experienced more of what Jesus did, and my part in it, I’ve come to realise that I was included in it. So when Jesus died, I died. When he was buried, I was buried. When he was resurrected, I was resurrected.
I’m the same as the whole of mankind in receiving what happened at the resurrection. It wasn’t just an individual thing for people who would, in the future, accept what Jesus did on the cross and through the resurrection. It happened as Jesus was resurrected.
I am going to prepare a place for you
He promised to come back and bring people into a resurrection relationship with the Father. I think John 14 is the best illustration of that—Jesus promising that he was going to go away, go to the cross, come back and take them to be where he was. “Where I am,” he said, “you may be also.” Now, “I am” was not a physical location. It wasn’t a spiritual location either—it was a relational position.
In John 14, Jesus talks about “I am in the Father and the Father’s in me.” But people have taken John 14 to mean, “Oh, Jesus has gone into heaven, and one day he’s going to build a house there for us, so we can all go and live in that house—in our house in heaven. He’s going to come back and take us there.”
That teaching has placed what Jesus did in the resurrection solely in the future, after we die, when we get physically resurrected. So we expect death and resurrection in the future, based on what Jesus did. But actually, that’s a completely wrong understanding of that passage. The passage is really talking about the union of relationship we have within “I am.”
It was a union thing, because John 14:1–3 is a marriage statement. In the Hebrew marriage tradition, when a couple got betrothed, the bridegroom would go and build a house—usually attached to his father’s house. He would say, “I am going away to prepare a place for you,” to his future wife. And she would say, “When are you coming again to take me to yourself?”
Now, this was a well-known understanding at the time. But we often read John 14 in today’s culture and completely misunderstand it. Jesus was basically saying, “I am going to the cross, and through the cross I’m going to prepare you to be a place where I can dwell—where you will be in ‘I am’ just as I am in ‘I am’ with the Father.”
On that day
Later on in the chapter, he says, “On that day you will know that I am in you, and you are in me, and we’re in the Father.” On that day—that was the resurrection day. He literally came back, went into heaven, received the kingdom and then came to his disciples and breathed onto them, saying, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
That was the moment where the disciples became representatives of the new man in Christ. Whereas Adam had been the representative of the old man when God breathed into him — everyone died in Adam. When Adam walked into death, everyone died in him. But everyone has been made alive in Christ.
So the whole of mankind was represented in Christ when he went into death, into the grave, and was resurrected. And when Jesus breathed onto the disciples, they experienced the Holy Spirit filling them, or coming into them. The whole of mankind had the Spirit come into them, but they didn’t know—because they didn’t have the relationship with Jesus or the Spirit that the disciples had.
The disciples already had a relational connection, which became very different, because God came to dwell in them. But God came to dwell in all mankind. Most of mankind has not come into a knowledge or experience of that, even though it’s true. But God is at work in everybody to reveal that truth.
Resurrection applies to everyone
So the power of the resurrection over physical death applies to everyone. If we embrace what Jesus did and partake of it, then we also don’t need to die. Jesus basically said, “If you eat my flesh and drink my blood”—in other words, if you partake of me—then you won’t die.
Immortality is a consequence of embracing the power of the resurrection. Jesus overcame death, and we were in him overcoming death. Now, to start with, you could say that was spiritual death, but it didn’t stay spiritual. Jesus’s death wasn’t just spiritual—his body died. That meant that when his body was resurrected, it was the firstfruits of our resurrection.
The teaching of the church over the last thousand or so years has lessened what Jesus said and made the power of the resurrection only really about salvation. It hasn’t applied it to wholeness, health or immortality. So the thinking has become: “Well, I get spiritual life. But I’m going to die again, and I’ll go to heaven, where the resurrection will take place for me.”
Whereas actually, it is designed to take place now. Jesus being transfigured before he went to the cross was an illustration of that—that we are to be transfigured and become who God intended us to be—as light, if you like, as God is light.

Another wrong interpretation of the Bible paints the picture of a God who is angry, full of wrath, and ready to torment and punish. But unconditional love does not fail or give up. It is faithful, persistent, and wins in the end. So, God has no reason to be angry. People often struggle with this concept, but the Bible clearly says that Jesus came to take away the sins of the world—in other words, our lost identity. He also nailed every accusation against us to the cross. They were defeated and finished. It also says that God was in Christ, in 2 Corinthians 5:19, reconciling the world to himself, not counting their sins against them—not counting their trespasses against them. So, if there’s nothing to hold against anyone, why would God be angry, and what wrath would he have to punish anyone with? He wouldn’t. He doesn’t. He hasn’t. Love keeps no record of wrongs.
Romans 5:8 in the NIV says: “But God demonstrates his own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Which is absolutely true. Even when we were in our lost identity, Jesus died for us. He didn’t wait for us to recover our identity, sort ourselves out or be good enough. He died for us—as us. We died with him while we were still in that lost state. Then verse 9 says: “Much more then, having now been justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through him.”
So this is saying, quite correctly, that we’ve been justified by his blood… but how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him? Jesus came to save us from his Father’s wrath? No. That isn’t the truth. In fact, this verse does not say that. If you look at the original Greek, it does not say we are saved from God’s wrath.
So what is the wrath we’ve been saved from?
Not God’s! Does God store up his wrath to pour out on his children? Absolutely not—because he has no wrath to pour out. So does “the wrath” here have a different meaning? Because it’s talking about the wrath—a very specific wrath. Does it come from another source? Yes—and we’re going to look at what it is.
(A clue to this is found in who Jesus says comes to rob, kill and destroy. The thief. The accuser. The devil. And who is it that desires to give us abundant life? Jesus—the Good Shepherd. That comes from John 10:10.)
Romans 5:9 does not actually mention anything about God’s wrath. In fact, there are two Bible versions that include the phrase “wrath of God”, but put of God in italics, admitting that it was not in the original Greek: it was added to help the reader understand (or so the translator thought) but it has actually created a deception. They assumed it meant God’s wrath, since they didn’t know the love of God. They assumed that’s what it meant—but it wasn’t there at all.
For example, the NASB says: “Much more then, having now been justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through him.” But “of God” is in italics—because it’s not in the original. It was added. The NTE doesn’t put it in italics. It says: “Much more, because we’ve now been declared righteous by his blood, we shall be saved through him from God’s wrath.” But it does put a note: “Greek: the wrath (referring to God’s wrath as in verse 10).” So, what does verse 10 actually say?
For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life? (Romans 5:10).
Where does it mention “God’s wrath” there? We needed to be reconciled to God—God did not need to be reconciled to us. He has never, ever turned from us. It’s we who turned from him. It was our wrath that God in Christ endured—not God’s wrath waiting to crush us. Because God has no wrath and no desire to crush anyone. He is a loving, restoring God.
So what is the correct translation?
Well, in this case, the King James Version actually gets it right. It says: “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” It doesn’t add “God’s”—just “wrath”. The Young’s Literal Translation says: “Much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath.” That’s what it actually says.
If the wrath we’re saved from is not God’s, then whose is it?
Paul was using the Septuagint translation, which also included a book called The Wisdom of Solomon. That book was in all Christian Bibles until the 1500s, when it was removed from most. It’s still in some. The Wisdom of Solomon—which Paul would have known and read—gives us insight into the wrath, and whose wrath it is. In writing what he did, Paul would have known this verse:
So he overcame the destroyer, not with the strength of body nor force of arms, but with a subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers. For when the dead were now fallen down in heaps one upon another, standing between them, he stayed the wrath and diverted the way to the living. (Wisdom of Solomon 18:22-3).
In other words, this was describing what God was doing to the destroyer—the one who was punishing—so that the wrath would be stopped, and people wouldn’t be killed.
So what is “the wrath” that God’s servant overcomes? The wrath—another name for the destroyer—who, by this point, the Jews no longer associated with God, but with Satan. (Remember, they had previously had an undifferentiated view of God in which they thought ‘the destroyer’ was God even though Satan may have been doing the work.)
Jesus saves us—not from his loving Father—but is sent by the Father to save us from the wrath. The destroyer. The accuser. Satan. That has a totally different connotation.
Which translation should I trust?
Revealing these differences in translation—where some words have been mistranslated—can cause confusion. People often ask: “Which translation should I read? Which should I trust?”
The answer, really, is to trust the Good Shepherd—Jesus—the Way, the Truth, and the Life—who said we can hear his voice and follow him. Follow Jesus. Don’t follow your interpretation of what you think the Bible might say. Yes, the Holy Spirit can bring us revelation of truth. But it’s difficult when we’ve already been programmed to believe we know what the truth is. We’re all confirmationally biased, which means it’s really hard to be deconstructed.
For me, it was such a hard process for God to deconstruct my mind from the things I thought were true—things I had never really questioned. I had some struggles, but I hadn’t questioned deeply enough to seek the real answer. It took experiences of unconditional love to bring that change. I believe we can use unconditional love as the plumb line to discern what is true. The gospel is good news—not bad news. If we know the true good news, we’ll be free from the deceptions that misrepresent God, misrepresent us, and misrepresent how God treats and loves us.
An “unbiased translator” is an oxymoron. In reality, everyone is biased by something. The question is: are you biased by love or by theology? Take the Mirror Bible, for instance—translated by Francois du Toit. His bias is love. He sees God as a mirror of who we are. I don’t mind that bias. But I struggle with a bias that translates things through a belief that God is angry and will punish his children forever.
Your ability to judge a translation doesn’t come from your linguistic skills or academic credentials—some people have those and some don’t. It comes from your personal knowledge of who Jesus is—the nature of God as revealed by him—and the gospel of unconditional love that he preached.
Unconditional love is the reality. God loves us in such an unconditional way that he continually seeks us out to reveal we have been saved from our lostness. In the YouTube video, The Gospel of the Chairs, by Brad Jersak, which I’d encourage everyone to watch, God never turns away from us—he always turns towards us—so that we can be restored to relationship.
God’s love is so unconditional that he designed us to be immortal—to have a continual, unbroken relationship with him. Death was the result of Adam—representing mankind—walking in independence, away from life. Jesus came to undo what Adam did, and undo the consequences brought by the enemy, including death—by taking back the keys of death and Hades, and revealing what was hidden—who we really are.

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.
So again, I just encourage you to close your eyes
And as you close your eyes
Just begin to relax
Get into a comfortable position
Into rest
Start focusing your thinking
On the Father
On the Son
On the Holy Spirit
Start to breathe very slowly
Breathe in
And breathe out very, very slowly
And as you’re breathing in
Consciously focus on breathing in
The unconditional love of the Father
Just breathe it in
Hold it
Let it energise you
Let it fill you
Let it flow through you
And breathe out
Breathe in unconditional love
So you can truly know who God is as love
Embrace it
Slowly dial everything down
To that place of rest
Focus on Father, Son and Spirit within you
Choose to open the gateways of your spirit, soul and body
As you choose, open that gateway of first love
To embrace Father, Son and Spirit
Consciously choose to drink from the source
Drink from the fountain
Drink, drawing from the life of Jesus
The Way, the Truth, the Life
Drink deeply into your innermost being
So that rivers of living water
Rivers of life
Rivers of light energy
Start to flow through the gateways
Of your spirit, soul and body
That river flows to your innermost being
To your core
The union of Father, Son and Spirit
And your body, soul and spirit
Where it meets within the Merkabah
And is focused
Let that river begin to focus
And build and energise
And then see that river flowing
To your seven energy gates
And begin to activate your crown
Activate each of those energy gates
Let it activate your heart
And let each one be energised with life
Feel—if you need insight
If you need to be able to see
In the realm of spiritual things—
That it would open that gateway
The eyes of your heart will be enlightened
If you need to speak wisdom, truth, love
That your voice gate will be activated with energy
causing you to speak life
Each of your gateways
Energised
With life
Abundance
And as you’re filled to capacity
Then see that river flowing
From your energy gates outwards
Creating fields of energy around you
Fields of life
That wherever you go
You have life in abundance
That your shadow can heal
That you can focus that energy to bring life
It will turn salt water fresh
You’re creating life around you
Flowing
Energising each of the spheres
You have been called and chosen to engage
Those spheres of family
Those spheres of work
Maybe those spheres of church
Those spheres of different aspects of your life
That you’re creating energy and life for those fields
Energising them
You can live in that bubble of energy
Of life and abundance
Just begin to rest in that energy
In that love
In that life
Filled and flowing
With amazing, living, flowing life energy
From the source of life
Who is light, and love, and spirit
Be filled

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.

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.

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.

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.

Activation
Close your eyes, come to a place of rest. Begin to think of living loved, being loved in that first love way.
Again, start to focus your breathing, just begin to slow down, relax, focus your thinking as you breathe slowly, and breathe deeply, thinking about God, who is love, who loves you.
As you breathe in slowly, you breathe in that unconditional love of the Father. You’re breathing it into your very being. Every breath that you take is a life-giving force of energy, of love.
That unconditional love, as you breathe it in, flows through your being. Start to feel it flowing through you. Breathe deeply. Be still, as God releases that love in you, on you, through you.
You are cocooned in unconditional love, filled to overflowing. Unconditional love flowing through you as God demonstrates to you how much He loves you, how valuable you are to Him.
You are the apple of His eye, the treasure of His heart, the object of His desire. He calls you into union and oneness. He’s calling you into this union of relationship. Be filled with love.
Stay in that place of intimacy and love. Just embrace it.

It is a journey to come into a dynamic where you’re able to engage with God and feel His presence, sense His presence, and know His presence in different ways. These ways vary, and different people have different experiences, so you can’t rely on someone else’s experience—you need to find what works for you.
That being said, there are things you can do. The Engaging God programme, which we run, helps people journey from the beginning to mature experiences as sons of God. It delves into practices and exercises to build your spirit, train your spirit to engage, and teach it to sense and discern. Hebrews talks about training our spirit through practice—repeatedly doing something to make our spirit active.
In my own journey to seeing in the spirit, which I’ve shared online, I can trace it back to around the year 2000. That’s when God began speaking to me about meditating. At the time, I didn’t have any concept of meditation, but He guided me through it, teaching me how to hear His voice. I would encourage everyone to focus on hearing before trying to see.
By hearing, I don’t just mean an audible voice, but also sensing God’s thoughts within your mind. The mind is where everything is received—natural vision and sound are all interpreted by electrical impulses in the brain. Similarly, spiritual information is processed by the mind and decoded into things we see, hear, feel, sense or know.
I spent four or five years learning to hear the voice of God, initially through the Bible. I meditated on Bible verses, sometimes even on one word, mulling it over in my mind, repeating it and focusing on it. For instance, I meditated on the verse, “Be still and know that I am God.” I would focus on the word be: “Be… be still… be still and know…” As I did this, I found that thoughts came into my mind that weren’t mine—thoughts from the Holy Spirit. It took me years to become confident in this practice.
Eventually, I began to speak to God directly rather than relying on the Bible. I would picture Jesus sitting opposite me, ask Him a question, close my eyes and wait for His thoughts to enter my mind. His thoughts were distinct from mine, and over time, I learned to hear Him clearly. After mastering this, I eventually learned to see, although now I no longer need visions to know where I am, what I’m doing, or what I’m engaging in spiritually.
It’s important to come to a place of rest before pursuing anything. I now use a meditation called “Meditation for Rest,” which is just five to ten minutes long. It helps me calm down, stop striving and relax. The harder you try, the harder it becomes. You need to let go of your own agenda and allow the Father to set the direction. Rather than asking for specific outcomes, just come into His presence and share your heart, asking Him to reveal His presence to you.
To activate your imagination, you can use a physical object. I often use a door. Think about a door in your home—its colour, material, handle, and details. Picture it in your mind. You can even stand in front of the door, look at it, then close your eyes and visualise it. Imagine opening the door and engaging with Jesus or the Father. This is not about forcing your imagination to create something, but about perceiving what happens.
The word “see” in its root meaning is to perceive. Communication and engaging with God is about perceiving, not just seeing. Perception can come through seeing, hearing, sensing or simply knowing. Many people feel impressions or just know things intuitively. Practice and allow your senses to lead you into deeper connection.
If you find yourself falling asleep during meditation, that’s fine—your spirit is still engaging. Often, our minds get in the way, and sleep helps the mind step aside, allowing the spirit to fully engage. Eventually, your spirit will communicate with your soul, and you’ll begin to understand and experience what you’ve engaged with spiritually.
Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice,” so it is always your time to hear Him. God isn’t holding anything back. The process is about training your senses and coming to a place of rest where you can receive. Sometimes, blockages can come from our own pressure or desperation. Instead of striving, desire His presence and trust that He will meet you.
Jesus is the door to the Father, and that door is already open. If you struggle, it might be due to a mindset shaped by tradition or past experiences. These can be renewed so you can engage fully with God’s unconditional love. You don’t need to earn or perform for His love—just let Him love you. The key to entering rest is to allow God to love you in the way you need to be loved.
As you practise this and come into a deeper awareness of His presence, things will begin to open up. Let God guide you, and over time, you will find it becomes easier. You are unconditionally loved, and God is not holding anything back. Just rest, relax, and let Him lead the way.
I think people understand one aspect of immortality—that you don’t die—but they often relate it only to a spiritual sense, like, “When you die, you go to heaven.” But that’s not immortality. That’s just your spirit and soul continuing to exist in another place. Immortality, as Jesus described in John 6, is physical. He said, “Eat my flesh, drink my blood, and you won’t die.” He made it clear it referred to physical death because he contrasted it with the bread eaten by the ancestors in the wilderness, who still died. He said, “This is the bread that’s come down from heaven. If you eat this bread, you won’t die.”
Now, obviously, many people who’ve eaten that bread have died, so there’s a disconnect between what Jesus said and our experience. That creates a problem for many because they see the countless Christians who’ve died since then and think, “Well, it didn’t work.” But the reality is, they didn’t believe it applied to physical death. Instead, they made an agreement with death, believing that dying was the path to heaven. For centuries, Christians have desired to die to reach heaven.
But if we go back to what Jesus said, the purpose of immortality becomes clear: God loves us unconditionally. He doesn’t want that love to end because “our time’s up.” Immortality is rooted in that unconditional love, enabling us to continually experience it here on earth and, eventually, in a fully reconnected heaven and earth. When that relationship is restored, we’ll no longer be limited to earth. We’ll have the freedom Adam would have had if he had continued ascending into maturity.
Jesus came to undo the works of the evil one, to destroy what robs, kills and destroys life. He didn’t destroy the evil one himself, but his works—anything that contradicts abundant life. Eternal life isn’t just about living forever; it’s about the quality of that life. Who’d want to live forever without the fullness of health and healing? Immortality must include healing, wholeness, and the vibrant quality of life God designed for us.
Eternal life reflects the life that flows from God’s eternal nature. It’s not just an endless number of days but the richness and multidimensional aspect of life. It’s about being unrestricted by time and space, not tied to Earth forever. The biblical terms translated as “forever” or “everlasting” don’t always mean what we assume. In the Old Testament, olam refers to a distinct period, an age. Similarly, the Greek term aion implies a defined era. So, when we understand these words correctly, immortality doesn’t mean stagnation—it allows for transformation and progression across ages.
This body, as God designed it, can be transformed to fit the requirements of each age or stage of existence. Immortality is about quality, capability, and the ability to live multidimensionally, not limited by earthly constraints. It’s about experiencing time differently, where time serves us rather than binding us. As we live in this reality, we’ll discover more of who God created us to be, moving into the abundant life Jesus promised.
I don’t want to live anything less than that abundant life. Jesus said we could have life in abundance, and I believe that promise will continually expand. It’s about living in the fullness of what God intended, fulfilling our destiny in this age and those to come. As we draw closer to God, who is light, our relationship with time and space will shift. We won’t be bound by current limitations.
Jesus demonstrated this multidimensional reality. He walked on water, passed through crowds, multiplied resources, and displayed mastery over creation. He operated from a place of complete understanding of how creation works, at a quantum level. We, as children of God, are called to be like him, made in his image and likeness. Jesus said we’d do everything he did and greater. To embrace this, our minds and consciousness must expand, enabling us to live in the fullness of who God designed us to be.

If you are operating from the Father’s heart, doing only what the Father’s intentions are, then you can take the promise that all these things will be added to you and then outwork that promise. When it says, “take no thought,” it does not mean trying to live in denial or suppressing what might be the truth. Rather, it means not worrying about it, as your trust is in God’s provision.
God’s provision can come in many different ways—sometimes through work, sometimes through people blessing us, or in other ways. The phrase “take no thought” does not mean to avoid thinking about a situation but instead to avoid worry. It encourages us to bring the situation to the Father. Scripture says, “Come boldly to the throne of grace when you have a time of need to find grace and mercy.” There is nothing wrong with coming to the Father, saying, “I am running out of money for the end of the month,” and seeing what the Father’s heart is on the matter. Yet, you do not come from a place of worry or lack, but rather with a heart that shares your needs and life with the Father. Sharing your life with the Father is good and healthy. “Take no thought” does not mean you cannot think about it; it simply means not to dwell on it in a negative way based on worry, anxiety, or fear.
When you seek first the kingdom of God, all these things will be added, but that does not mean we are not involved in the “adding.” For instance, we may, as the Father directs us, call for things that are not as though they are. We can call for finance to manifest in our lives or for the manifestation of other things we need. We do not have to be negative or passive about it; we can be active and seek the Father’s heart for any guidance He would provide. We might be involved in that manifestation spiritually, by establishing things in heaven so they can be manifested on earth, or physically and practically, such as by taking up a job or something similar. But that involvement is as the Father directs us. The key is to seek first the kingdom, meaning to seek first God’s rule and His way of life.
The kingdom should not be thought of as a vast realm encompassing the universe; rather, consider the rule of God in and through your life. Ask yourself: what is God calling you to establish on earth as it is in heaven? Break it down to the basics and assess whether what you are doing aligns with God’s purpose for you. Are your actions consistent with who He made you to be? It is good to take time to reflect—are you in the right place, doing the right things and walking in line with the Father’s Heart?
Remember, your destiny is not a list of tasks but the person you are meant to be. It is about who you are, and once you understand that, it will naturally shape what you do. Sometimes, reflection with the Father reveals that you are on the right path, and you can continue looking for daily opportunities to outwork that. Other times, He might signal that it is time for a change—a new season, place or direction. Make changes only if you are led by the Father to do so, but remember that asking Him is always welcome. The Father wants us to ask. Scripture reminds us, “You do not have because you do not ask.” This is not about pleading but sharing your current state with Him so He can guide you, bring you peace and rest, and help you outwork these truths in your life and heart.
