398. Embrace Transformation and Renewal

Mike Parsons

Twelve High Chancellors’ houses

On my fourth engagement with the fire stones, I engaged with Wisdom regarding my sonship, identity and governmental authority. Wisdom began taking me on a journey, revealing deeper aspects of sonship. This relationship with Wisdom prepared me to go deeper with the Father.

Wisdom gave me a staff and a seal on a chain, placing it around my neck. These symbols of authority granted me access to the Twelve High Chancellors’ houses. I didn’t even know about these houses until Wisdom brought me there. Because of the seal and staff, I was recognised as having authority to enter. The staff also gave me access to Satan’s trophy room through a fiery door on Wisdom’s Heights, where I discovered my lost heritage and identity, as well as mantles and scrolls stolen by the enemy through deception, guilt, condemnation and shame. These weren’t just my scrolls; they belonged to many others. We can claim these back and have them restored.

Eventually, this led me into the consuming fire of God’s love, where I could preach to those in that place of refining love and help them come into a relationship with God. All of this unfolded as I embraced my authority as a son to operate in God’s love. Wisdom continued to guide me, unveiling a fuller understanding of my role as a son of God and showing how all of us share that same role.

As I embraced transformation, Wisdom guided me through the Twelve High Chancellors’ houses. These experiences tied closely to the Dance Floor mysteries, which facilitated the transformation of my life back to my origin. Cycles of change began to unfold as I engaged with God, transforming my thinking to align with His. When I entered the Chancellors’ houses, they felt familiar—almost like déjà vu, as if I had been there before, though I hadn’t. But I had danced in the mystery of those experiences, and there was a recognition of that within me, providing a sense of comfort and security.

The first of the twelve houses was the House of Precepts. This experience was deeply symbolic, designed to help me engage with and understand God’s revelations without needing every detail. The house was filled with countless windows, and each window represented a facet of God. Opening these windows allowed me to glimpse into the perichoresis of God in the Eternal Now, in which I discovered deeper aspects of His nature and character. Each precept of God gave me greater understanding of who He is and, in turn, who I am. Every encounter became a catalyst for metamorphosis – change and transformation.

Looking back, I realised that cycles of change had always been part of my life. Now, however, I understood them and could actively participate in the process. By embracing these cycles, the transformation accelerated. Through encounters on the fire stones and within the Twelve Chancellors’ houses, my identity and sonship were progressively unveiled. These experiences facilitated the process of transformation, bringing me closer to my origin.

I didn’t transform myself; I participated in the transformation process. My mind was renewed as I experienced the unconditional love, limitless grace and triumphant mercy of God. These encounters deconstructed old patterns and reconstructed my thinking in alignment with His love.

Living Sacrifice

Now, in those days, this was all really new to me. It wasn’t easy, but God made it easier for me because He gave me a reference point and an anchor for the process of transformation I was going through. That anchor was Romans 12:1-2.

Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

God used those familiar verses to help me understand and proactively cooperate as I chose to be a living sacrifice and then embraced the deconstruction and renewal of my mind that would take place. At that point on my journey, I still needed biblical confirmation to give me a sense of security. Later on, God Himself became my confirmation, and love became my place of security. But God was gracious and merciful, and He used what He knew would give me a sense of safety in this process.

Romans 12:1 says, “Therefore, I urge you, brethren.” Paul is clearly encouraging them strongly. “I urge you” is a really strong phrase—stronger than we might think today. It’s a very strong injunction. “By the mercies of God” means we don’t present ourselves in our own strength, for our own purpose, or with our own motivation. It is by the mercies of God that we can do this: to “present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, your spiritual service of worship.”

In other words, this is about our relationship with God. It’s about acknowledging who God is and surrendering to Him as God in our lives—letting go of the idea of being the god of our own lives. I presented myself as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God.

The verse goes on: “Do not be conformed”—pressed into a mould—”to this world.” That could mean the religious world, the cultural world, the political world, or anything else. But then it says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” It’s the renewing of our mind that brings change, transformation, or metamorphosis.

“So that you may prove what the will of God is.” What is the will of God? It’s not a list of things we’re supposed to do. It’s about who we are. We are called to prove who God chose us to be—who He created us to be. That is “good, acceptable, and perfect.”

You are perfect. People often think, “Oh, the will of God is perfect,” and yes, it is. But the will of God is also good and acceptable when we embrace it. What this verse is really saying is that how God created you is good, acceptable, and perfect because you were made in the will of God.

So, every day, I presented myself as a living sacrifice to Jesus, my high priest, and let Him prepare me to be who I am. I didn’t approach this thinking, “Okay, I’m a living sacrifice, so what do I need to do to change? How do I renew my mind? Should I go on some program or course to fix my thinking?” Instead, I gave myself completely to Him and trusted him to prepare me.

Activation

When we do activations, many people ask, “How do I feel God’s love? I can’t feel God’s love—what does it even mean to feel God’s love?” Often, when I say, “Feel God’s love over you,” people respond with, “I don’t know what it is” or “I’m struggling.” Whatever your love language is, be open to experiencing it in some way. You might not immediately feel or fully understand it, but your spirit will engage with it. God will love you through a language that resonates with you and lets you know you’re loved. Maybe it is just through His presence. Maybe you’ll feel an emotional connection—or perhaps you won’t feel anything at all. But that doesn’t mean nothing is happening.

Don’t try to analyse it; just relax. You don’t need to figure out what the words mean or strive to understand them. Instead, let them resonate with you. You may feel an emotion, or you may not, but I can guarantee that God is doing something good in you. Allow yourself to relax. Don’t tense up or try too hard; simply let God do what He wants to do. Whether you feel it or not, God loves you, and He wants you to know his love. He wants you to know His love in relation to who you truly are.

So now, I’d encourage you to relax as we move into a short activation.

Close your eyes and slow your breathing.
Focus on your breath and begin to slow it down,
turning your thoughts to God as love.
Concentrate on the truth that He loves you and wants to show you His love.

Start breathing deeply.
As you breathe in, you are breathing in the unconditional love of the Father. Breathe in, and breathe out, slowly and deliberately.
Consciously engage with what you’re breathing –
His very essence, His love.

His unconditional love, flowing through your entire being,
just as the breath you take in is transported from your lungs to your blood, and then to every part of your body.
As you breathe in His unconditional love,
it will touch your innermost being.

Be still and let God love you, whatever that looks or feels like for you.
Relax and begin to sense, feel, or receive His love.
Let His love, joy and peace –
those precepts, those characteristics of his nature –
touch you.

Maybe make you feel peaceful, or joyful.
Maybe make you feel content, or safe, or secure.
Whatever it is, as His love flows through and around you,
you will begin to be in an atmosphere of rest –
resting in His love, resting in His work, resting in what He has already done.
Resting in who He made you to be.
Resting.

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

Mike Parsons

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

359. Unlocking the Power of Angels

Mike Parsons

Mike explores the various ways angels assist us in our daily lives. From facilitating meaningful connections with others to providing support in everyday tasks, Mike shares personal anecdotes that illustrate the divine guidance we can receive. He delves into the concept of judging angels and emphasises the importance of cooperating with them to fulfil our eternal purpose.

Angels: Helping in Everyday Life

How do angels assist us? Well, they do so in various ways. Sometimes, they help us connect with people, facilitating seemingly coincidental meetings. There are moments when angels can communicate and help orchestrate these encounters. For instance, I’ve personally asked my angel to help me find a parking space. I imagine that the angel goes ahead and stands in the spot, and for some reason, no one else sees it or takes it. When I get there, there’s a space waiting, and I always thank my angels for their assistance.

This leads me to the concept of “judging angels,” which some people misunderstand. They think it means deciding whether certain angels are bad and should be punished, but in reality, judgment is simply a verdict. When angels do something for us, saying “well done” and thanking them is a form of judgment. It helps build a relationship with them. Angels aren’t our slaves; they’re here to work with us in fulfilling God’s purposes.

Engaging with Angels in Spiritual Realms

I’ve had personal experiences with heavenly angels. For a long time, I didn’t realise I had an angel assigned to my mountain and throne, spiritually speaking. We’re all seated in Christ in heavenly places, but it took me a while to truly engage with this reality. When I finally did, I discovered that I could sit on the throne, learning about ruling and decreeing from my heavenly position.

During an activation exercise, where I guided people to connect with their thrones and mountains, I noticed a large angel standing behind my own throne. It was the first time I’d truly seen this angel, even though it had always been there. When I asked what it did, the angel responded, “What do you want me to do? I’m here to help you.” This angel had been helping me all along, even though I hadn’t been consciously aware of its presence.

Angels and other heavenly beings

Angels often help us grow and mature, and my angel has been instrumental in that process. Particularly in my younger years, it guided me towards books and revelations that challenged and transformed my understanding of God. These revelations set me on a path of growth and change, often accelerating my spiritual journey. As I matured, I learned to engage these cycles of change myself, needing less direct involvement from angels.

But it’s important to note that angels aren’t just there for the early stages of our journey. I’ve worked with other heavenly beings, like Wisdom and Prudence, who’ve shown me more about how heaven operates. They’ve taken me to heavenly courts and assemblies, revealing how the government of heaven functions. In the beginning, angels helped me navigate these spiritual realms, but as I’ve grown in my relationship with the Father, I now receive revelations directly, through heart-to-heart connection with Him.

In my journey, angels have been incredibly helpful, guiding and supporting me as I’ve grown in understanding and maturity.
