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” is part of a religious system that has promoted a mistaken… Continue reading Salvation is NOT “Going to Heaven When You Die”

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… Continue reading Aligning with God’s Heart in Co-creating

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… Continue reading Living in Rest

When it comes to the fear of God, I think we need to move beyond the word “fear” as something associated with being afraid – being afraid of someone or being afraid of God. Instead, think of awe and respect, a deep sense of reverence for who God really is. In this way, there is… Continue reading Fear vs Reverence. What does it mean to fear God?

As we are being conformed to the image of God, manifest sonship is the goal. Father, Son and Spirit exist in an eternal circle of relationship, a mutual exchange of love. This dynamic love is central, and although the spirit realm represents a spiritual reality, God has also created the natural realm to interact with… Continue reading Created in His Image | The Purpose of Our Existence

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,… Continue reading Understanding Immortality | Beyond life and death

You’re on dangerous ground when you take the evangelical position that the Bible is inspired, inerrant and infallible. Nowhere in the Bible does it claim that all its writings are inerrant, infallible and inspired. For example, where does it say in the book of Isaiah that it was inspired by God? It doesn’t. Do I believe… Continue reading Greasy Grace or Limitless Grace?

When your faith seems weak or compromised, what do you do? Well, I think it goes back to the concept of laboring to enter rest. Now, you don’t actually labor to enter rest. That concept, shared in Hebrews, refers to the Old Testament and the Old Covenant, where people were striving to enter rest but were not… Continue reading The More You Try, The Harder It Gets

The God I thought I knew forty years ago—or even three years ago—is now a distant memory. He is not what religion taught me He was. He is not what I was conditioned to believe by church or anything else—He is so much better than that. He is so much better. He is so good,… Continue reading Unconditional Love – NO LIMITS

God is love—and that love is unconditional. We need to carry that message of unconditional love, of inclusion, of reconciliation and restoration, which God has already brought about in Jesus. Our role is to help people come into the reality of that; to help them experience the truth that they are already reconciled, already loved,… Continue reading Unconditional Love – NO BUTS | God definitely IS Love!

Nothing can change God. He is love. He will never, ever be anything other than love. That love is always unconditional—it is never-ending, and totally unconditional. So, if what you read about God—whether in the Old Testament, New Testament or anyone’s writings—appears to contradict or fall short of love, then either what is written is wrong, or… Continue reading Unconditional Love – NO GUILT, NO SHAME

Jesus came to fully reveal the Father to us as His image, and the Father in Jesus forgave us unconditionally, reconciled us to Himself, and justified us — as if we had never sinned, never gone astray, never lost our identity. He kept no record of any perceived wrongs and made us the righteousness of… Continue reading Unconditional Love – NO RECORD OF WRONGS

Unconditional love has really been the focus of my life for quite a number of years. The experiences I have had of unconditional love have completely changed my whole belief system—especially concerning who God is, and therefore the reach of His love towards all of creation. Those experiences of unconditional love have challenged my view… Continue reading No fear of hell

Be open to shifting If you have a particular mandate and you’re with a group of people who don’t understand it and are almost hindering it, there might be others who could join you and enhance that mandate. That’s when we’ve really got to be open to shifting—and not get stuck. We shouldn’t feel obliged… Continue reading Check it Out with the Father!

In engaging God, we may start out not being able to see, hear or feel anything in the Spirit. The word see in the Greek is blepō-a primary verb; to look at (literal or figurative): – behold, beware, lie, look (on, to), perceive, regard, see, sight, take heed. So, seeing also means to PERCEIVE. We… Continue reading Spiritual Senses, learning to see beyond the physical

When it comes to what God is doing and how that is going to be expressed, I think people see it from different perspectives. Personally, I see it as a process, as relationship, not as an event. Now, I’m not saying there won’t be a vanishing point where people may have incredible experiences, but those… Continue reading Understanding Manifestations from experience to reality

Changing your state of consciousness is less about actively doing something and more about entering into the reality that already exists. It’s coming into agreement with the truth of who you are as a son or daughter of God and embracing your identity in Him. This means realising that you live in an interactive relationship… Continue reading Transform Your Consciousness by Embracing the State of Love

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… Continue reading Living Without Worry, Seeking the Kingdom

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… Continue reading Unlocking Abundant Life

What is the Merkabah? I want to share some insights into our core or innermost being, known as the Merkabah, and delve deeper into its significance. The Merkabah serves as a focal point for the “rivers of living water”—the flow of abundant, immortal life and spiritual energy distributed within us. It grants us access to… Continue reading Discover the Secrets of the Merkabah

To really grasp what the book (Engaging the Father) is about, I’d suggest reading it first to get the overall idea without focusing on the activations. Once you have a good understanding, go back and do the activations separately. This way, you won’t be distracted by wondering what’s next while trying to do the exercises.… Continue reading Activations, Meditation and Visualization

Death is a promotion? The mindset around death needs to change. We have been conditioned to believe that death is a promotion to another realm and state of being, and that this is a good thing. This is how it has been presented to us. However, when it talks about Jesus bringing life and immortality… Continue reading Ageing and Immortality

“The Rapture’s Coming!” Every time there’s any sort of sign in the heavens, people say, “Oh yeah, the rapture’s coming, blah blah blah blah blah.” I mean, half the Amazon rainforest has been cut down to produce books about the rapture, and none of them came true. I’ve got a whole shelf filled with those… Continue reading The Rapture of the Saints

It comes down a lot to intention and how you focus your intention to bring about the outcome that you desire. Most people struggle with this because they’re trying to overcome a negative way of thinking, a negative mindset, a belief system, or even the facts. Encounter truth For instance, if you’re looking for a… Continue reading The Power of Intention

In this session, I continue my series Restoring First Love. Misunderstandings about God’s nature, such as this belief that He punishes those He loves, often stem from incorrect interpretations of scripture. Hebrews 12:5-6, commonly cited to support this view, is actually a misquotation of Proverbs 3:11-12, which speaks of God’s discipline as loving guidance, not… Continue reading “God Punishes Those He Loves!”

There are abilities we all were intended to have that have become disconnected. We all have abilities that have been disconnected, and after deconstructing my mind, God wanted to reconnect me to them. I needed to change my thinking to believe in abilities beyond my current experience. God used the illustration of a perceived gulf… Continue reading Unlocking Hidden Abilities

Don’t live on the trickle flowing under the threshold of the gate. Open it to go ankle-deep, knee-deep, waist-deep until it floods and fills us with abundant life. There was a long lead-up to these experiences, and God had been preparing me my whole life. Hindsight is wonderful, and looking back, I see many signposts… Continue reading Don’t Live on the Trickle!

Some are in Christ and some are not? I personally don’t believe that because everyone’s in Christ through the resurrection. Everyone was born from above, so everyone’s included in Christ. That might have been true before the cross, but post-cross, everyone is now in Christ and everyone has been born from above. I don’t see… Continue reading Universal Inclusion in Christ

We are in a love awakening, a grace awakening, a joy awakening, a peace awakening, a true God awakening. The world is beginning to awaken, not necessarily the church, but the world – and those within the church who are open to pursuing something deep inside that’s calling them. I encourage everyone to embrace these… Continue reading A Glorious Entanglement

Laughter was a big thing in the 1990s, especially around 1994 in Toronto. But it was happening before that in places like Vineyard and with Rodney Howard-Browne in Pentecostal circles. Laughter seemed to be something God used to get our attention, bringing joy that made our joy complete. Sometimes, what God is doing in us… Continue reading Unleashing Joy

Restoring First Love In this new series, as the world awakens to love, grace, joy, peace, and the truth of God’s nature, I will be sharing my journey of rediscovering my identity as God’s child and breaking free from self-imposed limitations. It is time to discover who we truly are and embrace the depth of… Continue reading First love

There are certain frequencies and certain materials that have the ability to resonate and produce sounds, which in themselves carry something of God’s creational intention. We also have the ability to use sounds as a carrier wave for our intention. It’s like your intention is carried on a wave of sound to impart into something… Continue reading Resonating Truth

When you say you’ve never felt more loved, at peace, and joyful, but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere, that’s not a bad thing! That is the mature state. In reality, you are probably doing things in your spirit that you don’t necessarily need to know in the soul. Coming to that place where you… Continue reading Embracing Spiritual Rest

There’s so much more in sonship to our role in bringing creation into freedom from its corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. If we do not know the fullness of our glory, our true identity, then we will only be limited to what we can do on earth or… Continue reading Unveiling Our Divine Identity

So the Father said to me, “It’s time for true reality in multi-dimensional living, so you can fully enjoy the bliss of rest from your labours by learning to just be.” Now, I could meditate, and I did meditate on that for a long time, but I still didn’t get it. I didn’t get what… Continue reading Embracing Multi-Dimensional Living

When you’re in the process of transitioning from being a doer to ‘be-er’, it can be quite disorientating because the previous ways you learned were mostly about being directed or feeling that you needed to do what God said—the do’s and the should’s. When you come to a more intimate place, there’s a transition into… Continue reading Embracing Being Over Doing

Stop Listening to Others’ Opinions You need to stop listening to other people – that would be where I would start! People have different views based on where they are in their journey, so some of the things they are saying are from their own perspective. They may say “the Father said this,” when actually… Continue reading Find Truth Within: Trust Your Own Connection with God

In the last post, I talked about evangelising Christians. Now I turn to those who do not consider themselves Christians at all. Challenging Preconceptions for Non-Christians When it comes to talking to people who are not yet Christians or not yet believing, or have not yet realised what Jesus has done for them, I would… Continue reading Evangelising Non-Christians: A Fresh Perspective

If you are starting with people who are already professing to be Christians, you will begin in a different place than if you are engaging those who don’t.I will get on to evangelising non-Christians in my next post. Ultimately though, both need to know the love of God and experience that love themselves, through a… Continue reading Experiencing God’s Love: A New Approach to Evangelizing Christians

My own journey and the experiences I have described to you over many years are just one example of what can happen, not something that everyone has to go through in the same way. Walk in relationship with the Father, and let Him set the agenda. When I was fasting and engaging with God for… Continue reading Reflections on my Journey with God

‘Confession’ is not just saying the words. Anyone can say “I am immortal” but that has no value if you do not truly believe it in the depths of your being. Your confessions have to be an overflow of what you already know to be 100% true – not something you are trying to convince… Continue reading The Power of Confessing Your Beliefs

Emotions are a powerful and important part of the human experience, and we do not have to be afraid to embrace them. In fact, the very word used to describe Jesus’ compassion means being “moved in the gut” – a deep, visceral reaction. The key is aligning our emotions with the Father’s heart.  When we… Continue reading Embracing Compassion: Aligning to God’s Heart

The Finished Work of Christ The Universality of Salvation The Universality of Sin Justification by Grace The Universality of Justification Jesus’ Authority over All Mankind Eternal Life for All Mankind The Supremacy of Christ The Universality of Reconciliation The Universality of Christ’s Work The Reconciliation of All Things The Fulfillment of the Law Key Takeaway… Continue reading Complete Salvation in Christ

Some people may not fully live out their intended destiny, but encounter purification at the Judgment Seat of Christ, where that which is of lasting value is distinguished from what is not. The Lake of Fire symbolises purification rather than eternal damnation, a place of refining in God’s presence, not the end of the world… Continue reading The Judgment Seat of Christ

I find joy in spending time in God’s presence. I have moved beyond the need to only meditate on the Bible, because interpreting it can be complex and subjective. Instead, I allow God room to speak to me in various ways. I  relax, clearing my mind and focusing solely on the Father or on Jesus.… Continue reading Spiritual Listening: Beyond Biblical Meditation

Note: Mike was asked a question about how he views the fact that some prophetic voices seem not to be accurately representing the good news of the gospel at all, and what might be the way forward. This is his response. Deception often starts with small distortions of truth, leading people astray gradually. These initial… Continue reading Unveiling the Deceptive Path

When you look at the beginning of Matthew 24, the chapter’s context is the question posed by the disciples to Jesus. They asked when these three things would happen: the destruction of the temple, the sign of His ‘coming’ (parousia = presence), and the end of the age (not the end of the world, but… Continue reading The Signs of Jesus’ Coming

I am not against miracles, and God still does them: He works to bring people into a relationship with Him. I have experienced all sorts of amazing things, like rolling around on the floor and laughing, being translated in the Spirit and more. These experiences were part of my journey, part of my coming of… Continue reading Face to Face with God

Understanding Realized Eschatology Realised eschatology, for me, is also heading for an understanding of Christian universalism. The same scriptures Jesus referred to concerning hell (Gehenna) are in the same passage as those that speak of the end of the age – not the end of the world, but the conclusion of their Old Covenant age.… Continue reading Not the End of the World

If we were all just more cognizant of who we are, and aware of who we are – what our true identity is – and just enjoyed being us, I think we would find a lot of change begin to take place around us because of our light and joy. We leave a residue of… Continue reading Leaving a Positive Light Deposit

If we were all just more cognizant of who we are, and aware of who we are – what our true identity is – and just enjoyed being us, I think we would find a lot of change begin to take place around us because of our light and joy. We leave a residue of… Continue reading Leaving a Positive Light Deposit

This is an excerpt from my book Into the Dark Cloud, where I describe how we engage with the frequency of the water in the river of life, immerse ourselves in it, and experience profound effects. All matter possesses frequency, which can also be described as an electric current or vibrational energy. Frequency is the… Continue reading Align with the Frequency of the River of Life

This blog post is taken from my latest book, INTO THE DARK CLOUD. I’d like to recommend it to you, if you want to understand your life’s purpose, and if you’re willing to let God reveal your true self. In this passage I examine why we cannot transform ourselves by self-effort. Any aspects of our… Continue reading Limiting Mindsets and Beliefs

I wouldn’t want to deny the ‘righteous real’ of the energy gates within our being. We have a blood system, a nervous system, a lymphatic system—systems that the body was created with, or has now, even if not in the original creation. I have no problem with there being an energy system, energy Gates within… Continue reading Energy Systems Within Our Being

God knows everything there is to know about you, even many things you do not know about yourself, and He loves you. He loves you as much as He could possibly ever love anyone, and His love will never change. It is totally unconditional. There is nothing you can do (or not do) which will… Continue reading God’s Unconditional Love for You

Reflecting on my personal journey, I found immense joy in being led by God rather than following a rigid set of practices. It wasn’t about ticking off tasks but allowing my senses to be trained, within the relationship I shared with God. If I were to offer advice, I would suggest a less systematic and… Continue reading Reflecting on My Journey with God

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Only the truth that you know will set you free. How are we going to know the truth? Not by reading someone else’s book or doing someone else’s course – not even mine! What that can do is stimulate us… Continue reading Desire, Discipline, Delight

Problem two with penal substitutionary atonement theory is that it makes a wrathful violence the solution to everything. PSA claims that God’s justice will not allow Him to just forgive sin; instead, His wrath must be poured out – on an innocent, in this case, Jesus – and His justice be satisfied so He can… Continue reading Wrath is not the solution | Penal Substitutionary Atonement 2

It is not that all religions lead to God, but that we can choose to accept and love people who hold different beliefs. God loves everyone, no matter what they believe. He loves Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs (and everyone else) just as much as He loves Christians. No more, no less – they just do… Continue reading The Nature of God’s Love

In my journey I had to practice hearing God’s voice (because I could not hear Him); then I had to practice seeing in the spirit (because I could not do that either). Then after I engaged heaven the first time, involuntarily, I had to practice what God showed me to do because I did not… Continue reading Practice, practice, practice…

Emotions are a good servant and a bad master. The negative reactions we experience are often triggered by mindsets or neural pathways connected to memories. Predicting and controlling emotional responses can be difficult, but the restoration and healing of memories can lead to wholeness. Recognising our triggers and negative reactions is the first step, and… Continue reading Trauma Response | How memories can control our emotions

He made darkness His hiding place,His canopy around Him,Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.(Psalm 18:11). The Dark Cloud was a process that I went into to engage God face to face. He hides himself within a dark cloud to protect us, so that we cannot access His actual Presence in a way which would… Continue reading Into the Dark Cloud

Engaging with God intimately is a journey of transformation, as we spend time in the light of His love. It is not about rigid doctrines or rituals; it is about being in His presence, letting that love shape us into the very image He always intended. This transformation can even affect elements like our DNA and… Continue reading Be Transformed Through Intimacy

Penal substitutionary atonement refers to the doctrine that Christ died on the cross as a substitute for sinners. God imputed the guilt of our sins to Christ, and he, in our place, bore the punishment that we deserve (Theopedia). Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA) Theory faces a significant challenge when we consider it in the light… Continue reading PSA Sounds Nothing Like Jesus! (Penal Substitutionary Atonement 1

The Earth Shield, as I have encountered it during meetings with other leaders around the world, serves the primary function of shielding the Earth from external influences, including dimensional forces; it aims to safeguard God’s work on Earth. Participating in the Earth Shield involves collaboration with others, including Quantum Lumens and the angelic realm. The… Continue reading Revealing the Function of the Earth Shield

God never does anything bad; that is the devil. Unfortunately, Christianity has often conveyed a distorted view of God, so that most people don’t want to know God – and I wouldn’t either, if that was what He is like! The Old Testament introduced a system of sacrifices and offerings, which God never desired. Some… Continue reading Most people don’t want to know God – and I wouldn’t either!

The concept of a future millennial time period was not embraced by the early church fathers; and of those who authored the Bible, only John explicitly mentions it. The discussion around a literal Millennium gained traction only after the compilation of the biblical canon, when the Book of Revelation became a part of it. The… Continue reading A New Perspective on the Millennium 2

The only mention in the Bible of a thousand-year period, often referred to as the Millennium, is in the book of Revelation. Neither Jesus nor Paul refer to it. Yet a whole theological framework around the Millennium has been constructed over time, depending on particular eschatological viewpoints. My perspective aligns with the belief that the… Continue reading A New Perspective on the Millennium 1

Did Jesus explicitly instruct us to celebrate his birth? No, but the angels seemed to have a bit of fun with it. So, there was a sense of festivity. It is not a religious obligation, but rather an opportunity to focus on our relationship with Him. You might argue that there are pagan elements in… Continue reading To celebrate or not to celebrate? | The Christmas Question

Everything, including our solar system, our own and distant galaxies, and even other dimensions, was created by the Father through Jesus for Jesus. All the beings connected to all of these were reconciled to God through the blood of the Cross. Therefore the beings themselves are not the issue; it is their actions that matter.… Continue reading Expanding God’s Government of Peace

We have to be careful to ensure that what may seem like disorder or hardship is not part of God’s plan to bring about a realisation that the world has moved away from the loving values that He espouses. Timing is important when it comes to heavenly legislation, as the apparent issues can help people… Continue reading Is God Shocking People into Embracing Love?

This is a question someone asked me in an online mentoring session: “Can yoga be Christian?” We would do well to ask God for guidance and discernment, and to look at the heart and motive of the person doing yoga or any sort of healing. Seeking the guidance of the Father and discerning the frequency… Continue reading Can Yoga be ‘Christian’?

Salvation is not dependent upon a prayer or altar call: Jesus has already accomplished everything needed. Unfortunately, this truth has been turned into a gospel of works, suggesting that specific actions are needed to attain salvation. Instead, let our focus be on making people aware that God already loves and accepts them. The Gospel is… Continue reading Discovering the Reality of Salvation

When Jesus came, at that point all were spiritually dead in Adam. He represented not only the Jewish people but all mankind, taking away the sins of the world (Greek kosmos) through His death and resurrection. When He went into the grave, we went with him, as He overcame sin (lost identity) and death. In… Continue reading One New Man in Christ

Enoch’s ability to walk with God stemmed from Jesus creating a way for mankind to have a relationship with Him before the world’s foundation. Whilst Adam chose independence, not everyone followed suit, and Enoch’s attentive listening allowed him to walk with God in the spirit. The path to the tree of life was not blocked… Continue reading Enoch’s Secret to Walking with God

In a world where what passes for ‘love’ often comes with strings attached, showing unconditional love can make a real impact. A while ago, someone sent me a link to a testimony that highlights the incredible result of demonstrating unconditional love in a real-world setting. In a radio interview, Riaan Swiegelaar, the co-founder of the… Continue reading Unconditional Love, Grace, and the truth about salvation

Two Covenants We live in a new age, in a New Covenant that Jesus made with the Father. We and all mankind are included in it. Jesus warned his disciples of the religious and political spirit that would be like leaven, yet my experience, through the churches and movements in which I have been involved,… Continue reading Unconditional Love in Action

God is Love God is love and that love is unconditional. The ministry entrusted to us is to share the good news of the unconditional love, inclusion and reconciliation that God has already brought about in Jesus! That message will enable people to come into a reality in which they experience that love and grasp… Continue reading God is Love… BUT

We saw last time that love wins. If love does not win in the end then it cannot be love; but love can never be forced, just continually demonstrated again and again, until it eventually overcomes every obstacle, objection, excuse and reason. That is why I believe in the restoration of all things. God’s love… Continue reading His Love Never Fails

We saw last time that God’s love to us is unconditional, and that when we are able to truly experience that unconditional love for ourselves, then our love towards other people can also be unconditional. Should I? Notice that I do not say that our love ‘should’ be unconditional. On my journey God has really… Continue reading Love Wins

Walking with God I am really excited that more people are joining us on this amazing journey of discovering our sonship: who we are as sons of God, in relationship with Him, both the relational aspect and the governmental. It is a journey, not a destination. We are walking with God, not going ahead of… Continue reading Live loved, love living, live loving

What He saw the Father doing Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in the same way.” (John 5:19). We used… Continue reading Scroll of Destiny: Just Being

But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. (2 Peter 3:8). Someone on a Mystic Mentoring session recently asked about this scripture, and about the seventh millennium (seventh day) therefore being a season of rest. Personally, I don’t… Continue reading Are We There Yet?

Government in God’s kingdom is concerned with establishing everything in heaven first, in alignment with God’s desire, so that all things in the created order can be restored to God’s original intention and purpose and heaven be manifested on earth. God includes us in His government. He wants us to get involved because He has… Continue reading The Agreement of Heaven

Seated in heavenly places But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places… Continue reading Established in Heaven

We are living in a key time to engage and move forward as the sons of God. In the global shift which has begun to take place, we have a window of opportunity to step into our sonship and not shrink back. Let’s press in and begin to affect our communities, outwork the kingdom, see… Continue reading On Earth as in Heaven

Establish and outwork I had an encounter in 2013 in which God took me out into the solar system and I saw the earth spinning; it came to a stop and I could see arcs of blue light all over the globe. Now I had been sending out what God termed ‘a blue light call’,… Continue reading Living In Dual Realms

As I have described before, in the autumn and winter of 2011-2012 God instructed me to spend a month in the garden of my heart, followed by a month on the dance floor, a month in the soaking room and finally a month in the bridal chamber. I was to make a marriage contract and… Continue reading Separating and reintegrating soul and spirit (2)

Live in dual realms If we are to mature into our heavenly roles as sons of God, we cannot continually be stepping in through the veil and then out again: we will need the ability to live in dual realms of heaven and earth at the same time. For that to happen, our soul and… Continue reading Separating and reintegrating soul and spirit (1)

A sound from heaven For several years now, the Father has been releasing a sound from heaven designed to connect to the deep desire within us all for both relationship and responsibility. It is represented within much of the music being performed by Christian musicians in recent times but it is not itself necessarily a… Continue reading Sons Invested and Enthroned

So much better What is the Father really like? Because if we are going to enter into a relationship with Him, we need to know that. And you can only get to know what He is really like by meeting Him and engaging with Him yourself. As I began to meet Him, I discovered that… Continue reading One Conclusion: God Is Love

Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb 4:16). Just like Jesus, our elder brother, we can engage with our heavenly Father and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him; just like Jesus, we have all… Continue reading Being the Joshua Generation

In this series so far, we have looked briefly at three of the four dimensions in which I am encouraging you to engage with the Father: The fourth dimension in which we can engage is in God’s heart in eternity, outside of time and space. God is eternal God is eternal. It may seem really… Continue reading Walk on the Ancient Path

Back through the door Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb 4:16). When I first started engaging in my spirit, I was just captivated by God. Who wouldn’t be? To see the face of… Continue reading Into the Heavenly Realms

The more we engage with the Father, the more we are transfigured and transformed, growing and maturing in wisdom and grace. The first dimension in which we engage is in the Earth, the physical realm, but in the spiritual atmosphere of an open heaven. Convergence of time and eternity The cloud of His Presence, the… Continue reading Beyond the Physical Realm

The cry from the Father’s heart “Sons Arise!” is the cry from the Father’s heart to unveil, reveal and release His children into their full, glorious identity and inheritance as mature sons of God: the Elohim, god-like ones. It is also the groan of all creation which is longing to be set free when we… Continue reading Engaging the Father

The restoration of all things is not a one-off event but a continual process that God does with us, in us and through us as His sons. I believe that as co-heirs we are involved in, and carry responsibility for, the restoration of all things; in particular for the restoration of creation. What I thought… Continue reading A Happy Eschatology

If we are to fulfil our sonship mandate and bring restoration to the earth, we need to mature as sons and take our places enthroned in the heavenly realms. As we mature, we will grow in confidence in our relationship with Father, Son and Spirit so that we come to know each of them intimately… Continue reading Love’s Good News

A book they didn’t have If you have spent any time at all in evangelical Christianity, you have probably been taught something like this: “The Bible is ‘God-breathed’ (2 Timothy 3:16). The human authors wrote exactly what God wanted them to write, and the result was the perfect and holy Word of God (Psalm 12:6;… Continue reading Relationship Replaced

God spoke “…the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time” (Acts 3:21). In his sermon on the day of Pentecost, Peter tells his audience that God has already spoken about the restoration of all things in the past. So who were those… Continue reading The Word of God

In this series of posts about the ‘Restoration of All Things’, we have seen that restoration deals with the sin that occurred at the fall when mankind lost their identity, and with the death which came as a result. In fact, Jesus’ death and resurrection dealt with everything that happened because we chose the DIY… Continue reading Life and Immortality

To reconcile all things …and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.  And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in… Continue reading The Final Judgment

In this series of blog posts we have embarked on a journey to discover the full meaning of ‘the restoration of all things’ (Acts 3:21) and the part we all have to play as sons of God in that restoration. All things What are the ‘all things? For me, the phrase ‘the restoration of all… Continue reading Coming Back into Alignment

“And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). Jesus was talking about the coming Pentecost and the first step of the Holy Spirit leading us into ‘the freedom of the glory… Continue reading Clothed with Glory

In considering the restoration of all things, we need first of all to focus on having our own relationship with God fully restored. Restoration is personal. It is about restoring our spirit, soul and body to God’s original intention, desired condition and full functionality. It is about our spirit’s eternal identity being restored. It is about having… Continue reading The Glory of the Children of God

Restoration of Sonship The deeper I have gone in relationship with the Father the more I have come to know the two priorities of the Father’s heart: the restoration of our sonship and the restoration of all things. My journals are filled with our conversations relating to sonship and restoration. These are some of the… Continue reading Limitless, Immortal Beings

…and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time (Acts 3:20-21). We are going to consider a number of questions which come up around what Peter said… Continue reading The Period of Restoration of All Things

Blameless Innocence Let’s celebrate God! He lavished every blessing heaven has upon us in Christ! He associated us in Christ before the fall of the world! Jesus is God’s mind made up about us! He always knew in his love that he would present us again face-to-face before him in blameless innocence. God found us… Continue reading Times of Refreshing

Therefore repent and return, so that the sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the… Continue reading Restored to Sonship

Living an illusion True reality is not what we have come to know through our earthly experiences. The ‘world has been pulled over our eyes‘: we have been living in an illusion veiled as reality. We see what we see, and confirmation bias kicks in to make sure it is all we will ever see…… Continue reading Framing Your Reality

No limits Jesus, the Truth, the second Adam, desires to remove the limits placed on us by the first Adam, to restore us and conform us to our original eternal blueprint, and to release us into the glorious freedom of our sonship. Every one of us, without exception. No-one is left out, because Jesus reconciled… Continue reading Unrestricted Sons

Our minds are constructed from pillars of beliefs and value systems acquired through the experiences of our lives. Those pillars form our worldviews and frame how we interpret the world around us – they are our conscious reality. We see the world through a lens that filters life’s experiences in line with our existing worldview… Continue reading God’s Original Design and Purpose

The truth that love reveals When we behold God face to face it can lead us to experience metanoia (a radical shift of thinking), removing the veils and renewing our minds. In the last post I described how my introduction to the mind of God was like a conversation: communion, fellowship and oneness between God the… Continue reading Pillars In My Mind

Acquainted with perfection Live consistent with who you really are, inspired by the loving kindness of God. Do not allow current religious tradition to mould you into its pattern of reasoning. Like an inspired artist, give attention to the detail of God’s desire to find expression in you. Become acquainted with perfection. To accommodate yourself… Continue reading The Veil is Taken Away

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God (2 Cor 4:3-4).… Continue reading Limitless Grace and Mercy

God is Love. He really is! Having a relationship with Him does not involve trying to please or appease Him. He loves us unconditionally, and there is nothing we can do that would cause Him to love us more (or less). He is Love. Our view of God has become so distorted that many people,… Continue reading Enjoy The Ride!

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19). Modern evangelical religion sees the Father punishing and forsaking his own Son on the cross. Yet the early Church Fathers (who were discipled by those that Jesus… Continue reading You Have Not Desired

Love, the very essence of His Being If we continually engage with God in a relational way we will continually find new things. We certainly cannot contain Him in a box – or even in a book. We need a relationship with Him and then, just as in any relationship, we will gradually (or sometimes… Continue reading Loving Instruction and Correction

“Good souls many will one day be horrified at the things they now believe of God” (George Macdonald, 1824-1905). For me, that day has come. As I have encountered God, He has shown me that more and more of the things I believed about Him were not really true. He has been really considerate and… Continue reading The Things They Now Believe

Beyond the veil We saw last time that, as those called to be forerunners in the new, like Joshua and Caleb, we need to give a good report. We cannot just keep this to ourselves, have a great time exploring the realms of heaven and write off everybody else as if we are somehow better… Continue reading A Good Report

Comparing the old and the new Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come (2 Cor 5:17). Two thousand years ago, Jesus came with a completely new perspective and radically reinterpreted everything the religious people thought they knew. In my experience, He… Continue reading New Things Have Come

What is the ‘new wine’? In this series of posts we are looking at new wine and new wineskins. Last time we saw how the new wineskin is each one of us, both individually and coming together as a new order ekklesia, but what is this new wine? What does it represent? Here is some… Continue reading The Hallmark of the New

The blueprint that has come from heaven But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results. Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are… Continue reading New Order Ecclesia

Turning the law on its head Whenever God does something new, it challenges what already exists, because we are so familiar with the old ways of thinking and doing things. When Jesus came defying all the religious norms, He was rejected by the religious people and institutions of His time. He brought a radical new… Continue reading Revolution of Love

Face to face From the beginning we were created to have an intimate relationship with God. Jesus tells us in Matthew 22:37-38 to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind” and in John 14:6 that the only way we can come to the Father is through… Continue reading Wider, Deeper, Longer, Higher

New things “Behold, the former things have come to pass,Now I declare new things;Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”(Isa 42:9) Think of everything in your life that has already come to pass… and now God is saying ‘I declare new things’. Everything that is old has gone, everything that may have brought… Continue reading The Greatest Scandal of the Age

New for old God is always doing new things. Please understand that He is always the same, faithful and full of lovingkindness, and He has never changed. But when we engage Him intimately, He reveals Himself in continually new, surprising and sometimes even shocking ways. “Behold, the former things have come to pass,Now I declare… Continue reading Meet the Real God

Every one of us, whether we know it or not, has an inheritance that Jesus died to secure for us. It includes our identity, our redemptive gift and our destiny. If we choose to cooperate with what God has prepared for us, then we will find total satisfaction and fulfilment. Your eyes have seen my… Continue reading Your Destiny Revealed

Subdue No-one said it would be easy (or if they did, they lied). God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it” (Gen 1:28). So apparently there was something in their destiny that Adam and Eve would need to subdue. And it is always that… Continue reading No-One Said It Would Be Easy

In the pursuit of our destiny we need to be careful not to covet somebody else’s calling. If we do, it is possible we will find ourselves pursuing an alien destiny. I am not talking about little green (or grey) men, I am talking about chasing something God never intended for us, but for someone… Continue reading Alien Destiny

 Purpose And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). We can only love God because He first loved us. The Father sent Jesus because He loves us. All He is looking for is for… Continue reading Lost Destiny Restored

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jer 29:11). How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! (Psa 139:17) Do you know what God thinks… Continue reading Nothing Can Stop Us

Our destiny was formed and fashioned in eternity. It continues on into eternity beyond this lifetime, but it is available for us to find here and now. Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;And in Your book (scroll) were all writtenThe days that were ordained for me,When as yet there was not one of them.How… Continue reading God Chooses You

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28). Do you know His purpose for your life? That is what we mean when we speak about destiny. Destiny is not ‘fate’, not ‘que sera sera‘, predetermined… Continue reading Called According to His Purpose

Each of the redemptive gifts resonates with a colour and has a particular affinity with one of the seven spirits of God. He is opening up the realms of heaven for us to engage with those seven spirits who are there to tutor us and train us into sonship. [Please click the image to view it… Continue reading Frequencies of Heaven – Redemptive Gifts (7)

When we first began looking at the different redemptive gifts that Paul lists in Romans 12:6-8, we saw that each had a colour associated with it. The colours have frequency and vibration that we resonate with in the spiritual realm. And we recognise that when the different coloured flags and banners are waving in our… Continue reading Complementary Gifts – Redemptive Gifts (6)

We are going to look at some of the behavioural characteristics again in each of the redemptive gifts found in Romans 12:6-8. However, just because you have a particular gift that does not necessarily mean you will have all of the strengths and weaknesses associated with it. As we saw a couple of posts ago,… Continue reading “Does This Apply To Me?” – Redemptive Gifts (5)

My redemptive gift (Romans 12:6-8) is how am I wired up or made that enables me to engage in the process of restoring creation (Rom 8:19-21). We have seen that there are both positive and negative potential characteristics that go with each gift. Like me, perhaps you have been wondering why the negatives are there.… Continue reading Sacrifice, Transformation, Destiny – Redemptive Gifts (4)

Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he… Continue reading Redemptive Gifts (3) and Other Influences

We saw in the last post that every redemptive gift has a particular principle that operates with it, and a blessing or birthright that goes with it as well. The ‘principle’ is simply how things are designed to work, or (if you are looking for something more technical) it can be defined as a universal,… Continue reading Principles and Blessings – Redemptive Gifts (2)

In this series on ‘destiny’ we have looked at ‘who I am’, and it is time now to move on to our redemptive gifts or ‘how I am made’. After that, we will go on to ‘what I am made for’. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to… Continue reading Redemptive Gifts (1)

We are coming into a revelation of who we are as sons of God and learning how to live out of that revelation. But if instead, we listen to the whisperers, the familiar spirits which empower demonic strongholds and mindsets, then we can find ourselves on a downward spiral. 12 steps to an orphan heart… Continue reading Twelve Steps to an Orphan Heart

We are all on a journey from slavery to sonship, and those two conditions are very different. Slavery breeds a poverty spirit, fear and lack of identity, sonship breeds faith, identity, resources and responsibility. Empower a slave and it leads to rebellion, betrayal and treason, as with Israel in the wilderness. They were given freedom… Continue reading Revealing the Sons of God

Moses had an orphan mentality. Imagine what it was like for him, growing up in Egypt. He didn’t look like one of them, didn’t feel like one of them, and probably got sick of hearing the story of how he was found floating in a basket. Apparently abandoned by his parents, he was adopted by… Continue reading Embrace the New!

We are on a journey from slavery into our full inheritance as children of God. Even as natural children, we start out as babies, infants, and coming into maturity is a process that takes time and perseverance. Yet God has always intended us to have a relationship of intimacy with Him, our Heavenly Father: and… Continue reading Who We Really Are

Behold I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite their land with a curse… Continue reading The Father’s Hug

However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are no gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back to the weak and elemental things, to which you desire to… Continue reading A Beloved Child

God the Father sent Jesus to ‘redeem those who were in bondage to sin’, to buy us back from slavery. He set us free, but it does not stop there – we can be adopted into His royal Beyond family as manifested sons if we grow up and become His heirs. In this family relationship,… Continue reading The Authority to Become Children of God

We are on a quest, and in a battle, to lay hold of and possess all that God destined for us (and destined us to be). That quest and that battle will lead us into deeper intimacy with God. Jesus is the firstborn Son, but the Father always desired a larger family. For those God… Continue reading Whose Slave Are You?

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,Because the Lord has anointed meTo bring good news to the afflicted;He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to captivesAnd freedom to prisoners;To proclaim the favourable year of the LordAnd the day of vengeance of our God;To comfort all who mourn,To grant those… Continue reading Restored to Original Condition

…for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). Our destiny is to have access to heaven, where the Father is, and to have relationship with Him. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s… Continue reading God’s Eternal Purpose

God is calling forth our spirit to maturity. He is calling forth each of us to our identity as sons. We have a destiny both now, in time, and in eternity. Our spiritual identity is eternal: it came from eternity, and it will go back to eternity. Before I formed you in the womb I… Continue reading The Song of Our Destiny

Who am I?How am I made?What am I made for? We all have an individual inheritance from God: destiny, birthright, calling, purpose – there are many names we give it. And God has created us all different, designed us to operate best in particular ways, which we need to discover and understand. We all have… Continue reading A Journey Quest for Identity

It has always been God’s intention for this material universe to reflect His heavenly, spiritual, supernatural kingdom: Pray, then, in this way… ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven’ (Matt 6: 9-10). And we are citizens of that heavenly kingdom. Exact representation And He is the radiance of His… Continue reading Manifesto of Love

For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God… For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now (Rom 8:19, 22). The whole universe is groaning, waiting and calling us forth as His children, every one of us, God’s… Continue reading Answer Creation’s Call

You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. (Matt. 5:13) We are supposed to be different. If our lives are like everyone else’s, if we… Continue reading Flavors and Colors

Arise, shine; for your light has come,And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.For behold, darkness will cover the earthAnd deep darkness the peoples;But the Lord will rise upon youAnd His glory will appear upon you.Nations will come to your light,And kings to the brightness of your rising(Isa 60:1-3). We are going to… Continue reading Cities of Refuge

The Spirit of God has come to live in us. That is, God Himself dwells within us. We are a house of God; a dwelling, a habitation of God. Heaven can manifest through our lives if we are willing to act as a gateway of heaven on earth. Wherever we are, we are ambassadors for… Continue reading Attitude Determines Altitude

As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (John 17:18) We are sons of the kingdom, sent to colonise this world, the very same mission God gave to Adam and Eve: God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and… Continue reading Earth Like Heaven

God is calling a new generation of forerunners like Joshua and Caleb to rise up, take hold of what belongs to them in God’s kingdom, and bless others by sharing this revelation and leading them in too. Will you be one of them? The Joshua generation has an inheritance that is both earthly and heavenly.… Continue reading Set Apart in Holiness

Jesus died to give us access to heaven, and not only when we die: eternal spiritual life begins here and now. He died, but He did not stay dead. He rose again and is alive today. He is alive in heaven; He is alive in us; He manifests His presence here with us. Because of our… Continue reading The source and river of life

All the miracles Jesus performed, He did as a man, a forerunner of the church that was to come. There was an open heaven over Jesus’ life. He lived in both realms, connecting earth and heaven, and angels were part of that connection. They were actively involved in all that He did, from the announcement… Continue reading Rendering Service (Angels – Part 2)

24. The Joshua generation will operate with the angels and the heavenly realms. Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are… Continue reading Ministering Spirits (Angels – Part 1)

Our inheritance is to walk with God, to experientially encounter Him and live in a daily intimate relationship with Him; one heart, one mind, one will, one purpose. But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him (1 Cor 6:17). Since relationship is built on communication, how do we communicate… Continue reading Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Israel always sent Moses to hear God for them, although God offered them all the chance to hear for themselves. We have no need for a mediator. Our inheritance is to walk with God, to encounter and experience Him in a real, intimate relationship as Adam did, to see, hear, feel, smell, taste, sense Him,… Continue reading By Personal Encounter and Experience

Progressive revelation How many of us have suddenly seen something in a scripture that we have never seen before? How many of us believe differently to what we used to believe a few years ago? This is the time Daniel wrote of, when the books are being opened and fresh revelation is coming to the… Continue reading The Books Are Being Opened

Our inheritance is to be heirs of the world, to bring God’s government to creation (Rom 4:13, Gal 3:29). God promised that David’s seed would sit on his throne forever (Psalm 132:11-12, 2 Samuel 7:16). The land promised to Abraham was intended as a starting point from which blessing would spread to all the nations.… Continue reading Live And Not Die

We have the opportunity now to step into a different dimension. We are reviewing some characteristics of the Joshua generation, as we consider what they have to teach us about taking up our inheritance. 21.The Joshua Generation will free the next generation from the reproach and effects of past generations into new revelation of past… Continue reading New Dimensions of Authority and Power

We are looking in more detail at selected characteristics of the Joshua Generation. All those characteristics come out of relationship: they are characteristics of sons, not slaves. Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, but he… Continue reading No Longer a Slave, but a Son

Israel’s Promised Land speaks to us of our Kingdom inheritance. The journey they travelled was like ours, from slavery to sonship. Coming out of Egypt’s bondage is a picture of our salvation.Crossing the Red Sea is a picture of our baptism in water.The pillar of cloud and fire is a picture of the baptism in… Continue reading The Battle For Inheritance

If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise (Gal 3:29). Where a will is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it (Heb 9:16). Usually, we receive an inheritance when someone has died, and left us something in their will. Jesus, the firstborn, has… Continue reading An Earthly and a Heavenly Inheritance

Judgment, coming to the house of God Transformation is the ongoing process of restoring our lives to original condition and purpose; finding our unique true identity and eternal destiny. It is also preparation for God’s judgment that is coming to the church (1 Peter 4:17). We are the church, an organic structure of relationships in the… Continue reading The Judgment Seat of Christ

Therefore I urge You, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present Your bodies 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… Continue reading Not Of This Creation

What is man that You take thought of him,And the son of man that You care for him?Yet You have made him a little lower than God,And You crown (surround) him with glory and majesty!You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;You have put all things under his feet,(Psalm 8:4-6). It has… Continue reading Eat This Bread, Live for Ever

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb 4:12). The deepest level of transformation is the dividing or separating of… Continue reading Divine Nature Assimilated

Information or revelation? Through the centuries there has been a battle for truth: we have an enemy who does not want the church even to know about the supernatural, much less experience it! At the Constantinople council in 553 there was a lot of argument about what should and should not be included in the canon… Continue reading Sealed Up Until the End of Time

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both bones and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb 4:12). God is looking to see us transformed (Rom 12:2), and bone… Continue reading No Spot or Wrinkle

And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light (Matt 17:2). The Greek word ‘metamorphoó’ (the same root from which we get the English word ‘metamorphosis’), is translated ‘transfigured’ in this passage and ‘transformed’ in Romans 12:2 (‘but be transformed by the renewing of your… Continue reading Heaven Around Us, Heaven Within Us

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind… (Rom 12:2). We are to be transformed so that we will know the will of God for our lives, what our destiny is, ordained by God in eternity past, when we were a spiritual being. We are all… Continue reading Occupying Our Inheritance

God is preparing us for what is surely coming. He is removing stumbling blocks from us so that we are ready when judgment comes to the house of God. His judgment is simply this: He will say ‘This is of Me, and this is not’. Be transformed Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of… Continue reading Patterns of Iniquity

Sold into slavery. The human race was traded or sold into slavery by Adam and Eve: slavery to sin and with it, a sense of separation from God. It set a pattern. Joseph and Israel were sold into slavery in Egypt, and Israel and Judah were sold into slavery in Babylon, because people turned away… Continue reading Iniquity, Transgression and Sin

Mike Parsonswith Jeremy Westcott –  In the last two posts we have looked at the negative side of trading, at the deals we may have done with the enemy. Now, although this is not really part of the Transformation series, in this post I want to write about the positive side. When Ian Clayton first… Continue reading Godly Trading Floors – Trading (3)

No Condemnation We are going to be looking at some difficult subjects in this post. Please do not get drawn into feelings of guilt and condemnation because of anything we write here. Let’s be sure to remember that there is no condemnation for us. The Holy Spirit will certainly bring conviction of sin where sin exists;… Continue reading Seven Trading Floors – Trading (2)

The deception we are living in  We find it hard to judge ourselves. We are used to thinking the way we do, used to meeting our own needs in our own ways. But God will go deeper, revealing and judging the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. By revelation of His word and His Spirit He… Continue reading Information for Elevation – Trading (1)

We are looking to move from the presence of God into His glory. Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies 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… Continue reading Seeds, Roots and Fruit

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies 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… Continue reading Beholding As In A Mirror

Fire Season The fire of God’s Presence is coming to the church, to remove and gather stumbling blocks, to raise up a Joshua Generation. We must be strong and ready if we are to withstand the coming storms: and we will find God in the midst of some of them, hidden in the fire and the clouds… Continue reading Pursue and Embrace

 [We] are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another (2 Cor 3:18). We are to be transformed into the image of Jesus. As John the Baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). He adds to me what is like Him, and He takes away from… Continue reading Tadpoles and Caterpillars

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies 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… Continue reading Mercy: God’s Covenant Love

Transformation: embrace the season We are entering into a season preparing us for holiness; a season of removing stumbling blocks; a season of preparation to cross the threshold into the glory realm; a season for transformation. Not just a minor adjustment of surface appearance, but fundamental, radical change, affecting body, soul and spirit. Let’s not resist… Continue reading The Image of Jesus

Me, myself and I But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you… Continue reading Gateways Open, Flowing Freely

Rule Your destiny is to rule, to bring God’s kingdom to earth as it is in heaven. This is His ‘Plan A’, and He has no other plan. God said to Adam and Eve when they were first created: Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule (Gen 1:28). He… Continue reading Spheres of Influence

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb 4:12). …penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul)… Continue reading Familiar, But Dangerous

God only ever has ‘Plan A’. There is no ‘Plan B’. Each of us has a destiny, conferred and agreed before the foundation of the world, and with that destiny come both the creative ability and the authority to fulfil it. God has made it really simple for us. We can either step up, say… Continue reading Our Defining Moment

In meditation, we position ourselves to hear God’s voice and experience His presence. When we meditate on the word God has spoken and revealed to us, so that we have that word firmly established in us and can live from it, it will enable us to prosper and have success in all we do. This… Continue reading Your Word, Treasured in My Heart

God speaks to us in a flow of spontaneous revelation. He communicates through thoughts, pictures, feelings, and impressions which we need to pick up. We need to be able to tune in to them; to see, feel, hear, and touch them. Reading scripture may a good place to start, but the Bible is the beginning… Continue reading A Flow of Spontaneous Revelation

God’s presence is within us. He wants us to open the door so that He can fill our whole being. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. (Rev 3:20) Opportunity for… Continue reading Manifesting His Presence

We are continuing to look at building our spirit. Everything we perceive goes into the brain. Whatever we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, the information comes in through our senses and is relayed there via various pathways. When we see something, for example, light comes in through our eye and is projected, upside down,… Continue reading Store, or shred?

Not in the Bible This may seem really obvious, but it is a fact that not everything is actually specifically mentioned in the Bible. For example, Jesus said we should do greater works than He did, without being specific about what they might be. We have experiences in daily life which are not mentioned in… Continue reading A Plumbline, a Doorway and an Anchor

In preparing for our destiny we need to build our spirit. Over a number of posts on this blog we have looked at: We are going on now to consider a fourth means of building up our spirit: My son, give attention to my words;Incline your ear to my sayings.Do not let them depart from… Continue reading Grow Your Own

There is a period of training we have to go through in order to sit in the seat of rest, the place of government, and to bring kingdom authority into our life. We have first to give up control of our lives, and learn to be servants and stewards. But beyond that, God wants us… Continue reading I Have Called You Friends

The first step in our ‘training for reigning’, as we saw last time, is to give up control of our own life and learn to be an obedient and willing servant. Stewards Beyond servanthood, there is training to be a steward. A steward has responsibilities – and access to resources – that a servant does… Continue reading Resources and Responsibilities

When Jesus lived on earth, He had power over nature, power over sickness, power over demons, power over everything. He taught about speaking to the mountain and telling it to move. He operated in the power of the kingdom to bring everything into subjection to God’s will and purpose. He wants us to live the… Continue reading Abdicate and Serve

Be still It is really good to simply sit in the presence of God, and do nothing. That may sound like it should be really easy, but actually it is not. I remember going through a period of two to three months in which God taught me simply to rest in His presence and do… Continue reading Eye Of the Storm

Come to Me, all you who are weary and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and… Continue reading Seat of Rest

In seeking to build our spirit, we have seen how important it is to give God first love, first place, first priority in our lives, and also how praying and singing in tongues is a key. The third point, which we are going to consider in this post and the next one, is waiting on… Continue reading Be still and know

Because of practice For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant,.But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil (Hebews 5:13-14). If we have received revelation, we must act on it. All that… Continue reading Present A Living Sacrifice (3) – practice

We shared in the last post two diagrams that can help us deal with our behaviours, so that we can change. Here is one more, and listed down the right hand side are the basic steps we take. Forgive and release Whatever it is that troubles us, we forgive and release it. We do not hold… Continue reading Consider It All Joy

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing (James 1:2-4). And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those… Continue reading Encountering Trials

While we are building up our spirit by opening that first love gate inside us, praying continually, and waiting on the Lord, we also need to allow God to work on our soul so that it comes into proper submission to our spirit. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I… Continue reading Steppingstones To Change

As Christians, we know that God lives on the inside of us (1 John 4:15). It is when we open up the gateway of first love, and allow Him to have first place in our lives, that He will begin to transform us from the inside out. Our spirit can take its proper place of authority… Continue reading Beholding And Becoming

Therefore, I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies 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… Continue reading Present A Living Sacrifice (2)

God intends us to be spirit, soul and body, in that order. Our soul and body should be subject to our spirit, now that our spirit has come alive to God. If we want to build a strong spirit, we saw last time how praying in tongues on the inside and on the outside is… Continue reading The Flesh Profits Nothing

All the flow of the life of God comes through us from the inside out. The choice is ours whether we surrender, and allow it to flow, or not. Last time we looked at various prayers and declarations (you can read them by clicking here). I want to encourage you to use those declarations to unblock your conscience,… Continue reading Pray Without Ceasing

If you are willing If you have reached this far with us in this series on Preparing For Destiny, we are going to make some declarations together (if you have just come across this blog today, you are welcome to join us, but you might want to read a few recent posts first). So, if… Continue reading Declarations For Transformation

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:24-25). Sin Sin, and all the ‘sins’ we commit, are an indicator of our need for God. The original ‘sin’ came about through losing sight… Continue reading Our Need For God

We have looked at the gates of our spirit, through which we want God to flow from the inside out. Now we are turning to our soul gates. Soul gates Our soul gates are: conscience, reason, imagination, mind, emotions, choice and will. Conscience Our conscience is the ears of our heart. It is our protector and… Continue reading Gateways of the Soul

Mike Parsonsand Jeremy Westcott We have seen that God is on the inside of us, and that we want to allow Him to flood our whole being with glory so that we overflow to transform the world around us. Yesterday we looked at each of the gateways in our spirit through which He wants to… Continue reading Aligning Gates

“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water’” (John 7:38). God has come to dwell in our innermost being. Now we want to allow Him to flow through us and out from us, transforming both ourselves and the world around us. As we open… Continue reading Gateways of the Spirit

I have written before about how God gave me four words: investiture, succession, enthronement and coronation. Those four events happen in that exact order. First you are invested with authority, but you do not immediately move on to taking up your throne. Before you can be enthroned, succession has to happen: that is, whoever or… Continue reading From The Inside Out

Everything we are writing about in this series on Preparing For Destiny comes down to (or builds up to) one thing: what will we choose to do? Will we choose to do what Jesus would do? Or will we choose to do what our own flesh tells us to do? Holy Spirit flow If we… Continue reading Broken Cisterns Hold No Water

The Heart The heart is deceitful above all things,And desperately wicked;Who can know it?(Jer 17:9) That is why our heart needs to be transformed. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.(Prov 23:7). The way our heart thinks will determine how we live and how we are. We cannot be content to allow… Continue reading Thoughts and Intentions of the Heart

Within us The kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21). If the kingdom is within us, what else is? Our own spirit.The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.The kingdom of God – the seat of God’s government of heavenOur heart – our subconscious mindThe garden in our heart, in which we can engage God.Rivers that flow from heaven,… Continue reading The Seat of Government

In seeking to restore the right relationship between the spirit and the soul, we saw yesterday that first of all we need to build a strong spirit. But we also need to deal with the soul. We need to understand what the soul is: other Bible words for it include flesh, mind, and heart. It… Continue reading Flesh vs Spirit

God wants us to come into that place of relationship and responsibility into which Adam would have matured if he had not chosen to follow the DIY pathway of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For that to happen, we have to build our spirit. If we are not strong in spirit, we… Continue reading Building A Strong Spirit

On this blog we are just at the beginning of a new series of posts about preparing for our destiny. We prepare according to God’s Prophetic Timetable of events for the future, so that we will be ready for what he is doing and ready to play our part in it. From a place of… Continue reading Relationship and Responsibility

God is releasing a sound from heaven. It is a sound that musicians – and others – are picking up. It has four notes to it, which seem to relate to the four faces of God and the four letters of His Name. You have probably heard it: echoes of it appear in the songs… Continue reading A Shadow of Heaven

Our destiny, our scroll, the book of the life God has prepared for us, was written for us before the foundation of the world. It comes out of eternity; it is a decree, and a commission, and it carries both purpose and provision within it. We can access it in the heavenly realms, and within our hearts. We have the… Continue reading Preparing For Destiny

I closed yesterday’s post by calling forth people’s destinies, to fulfil that purpose of God for their lives. That calling forth of destinies is something written on my own scroll. Fulfilling their destiny is important not only for the individuals themselves, but also for the church and the purposes of God going forward. Everlasting Doors Here… Continue reading Transforming The Atmosphere

We have seen how we need to take the testimony of what God has shown us, given us, and done for us, and plant it in the garden in our hearts. But planting alone is not enough: if we want to produce fruit, we are to tend and keep what is growing there. And that… Continue reading Cultivate a Garden Relationship

Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it (Gen 2:15). God intends us to cultivate and keep our place of connection with heaven, so that we will be able to bring heaven to earth. We still have the mandate to cultivate the… Continue reading The Power of Testimony

Jesus said, “… whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life” (John 4:14). We have that wellspring in our life. To operate in the Kingdom of God, with the… Continue reading River of Living Water

Jesus said, “… whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life” (John 4:14). We have that wellspring in our life. To operate in the Kingdom of God, with the… Continue reading River of Living Water

We’re looking to cultivate a relationship of intimacy with God so that we become one spirit with Him. The Kingdom of Heaven is within us (Luke 17:20-21), and God has come to make His home in us (1 John 3:24). So we can meet with God anytime we want – He is right here inside us.… Continue reading God on the Inside

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh.” But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. (1 Corinthians… Continue reading One Spirit with Him

God is calling us to intimacy. And that call to intimacy continues even as He brings in the subsequent phases of the Prophetic Timetable that He showed me. It has to be our first priority. I know people struggle with intimacy with God, because I struggled with it myself. When I became a Christian I was… Continue reading Intimacy With The Father

‘Pursuit is the proof of desire’, as our friend Graham Jones says. If we truly want to fulfil our destiny, let us set our heart towards it, set our desire upon it and go after it. These are some thoughts on pursuing our destiny: I am just going to put them out there for now,… Continue reading The Proof of Desire

We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord the Spirit(2 Corinthians 3:18). Transformation, transfiguration, change, metamorphosis: they are all English translations of the same word in the Bible. We are all in… Continue reading Caterpillars, Butterflies and Superheroes

Jesus was transfigured here on earth and shone with glory. That is God’s intention for all of us, to be shining with the glory of God. We can begin to manifest the glory of God through our lives as we become a channel of God living in us. Now again, you may be suspicious of… Continue reading A Channel of God

 When Adam was created a spirit being, he was clothed with glory. Spirit, soul, body – but his spirit was on the outside and his body on the inside. There was no blood, because he was a being of light. Adam originally had one triple-helix with three DNA strands that represented body, soul and spirit made in the… Continue reading Twelve Strands, Twelve Stones

For the flesh sets its desire against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please(Galatians 5:17). Battle on the inside As soon as we get born again, there is a battle on the inside. The flesh… Continue reading Two Resonating Testimonies

Applying the Body and Blood of Jesus We saw last time how in taking communion we can be transformed by the very DNA of God. Here are the prayer declarations we use at Freedom Church when sharing the covenant meal: I engage in the DNA of God. I embrace the transforming power of the body and blood… Continue reading Transformation Through Communion

Adam was created a spiritual being. We all were. Adam became a ‘living being’ when God breathed His breath into him. That is something different from a spirit being. But when Adam sinned, he became a human being. He lost his status as a living being, and his status as a spiritual being, because his… Continue reading Spirit Being, Living Being, Human Being

Our destiny was settled in God before we were born. But our soul and body grew around our scroll of destiny and it became lost, unable to be recognized. Our flesh is programmed by what it inherits naturally from our parents, and by its environment. Today, our heart carries the record of our past. All… Continue reading The Heart, the Blood and the Brain

First the natural…then the spiritual. Our natural senses take time to develop. Hearing is one of the first to function, and we know that babies can hear sound even in the womb. The hearing nerve is connected to every organ in the body except the spleen, and it even continues reverberating for a short while… Continue reading Developing Our Spiritual Senses

There is a song by U2 that I really used to love: “Still haven’t found what I’m looking for”. I would sing that and really mean it from my heart, because I knew in my spirit that there was more, and I had not found it. I can’t sing it and mean it like that… Continue reading Destiny and the Age to Come

The record of who you are When you were conceived, it was because just one out of around 30 million sperm was successful in fertilising the egg. You have already shown that you have a destiny, given to you by God. You are an overcomer, just by succeeding in being you. At this moment of… Continue reading Agreement, Resonance and Harmony

We looked last time at our scroll of destiny, how important it is for us to have revelation of what is written on it, and what are the thoughts of God toward us, so that we can be all He intends us to be. Each of us was created in eternity in the heart and thoughts… Continue reading Engaging the Timeline

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations. (Jer 1:5). God knew us before we were formed in the womb. He knew us before we were a physical being. At that point we existed, and He… Continue reading Scroll Of Destiny (revisited)

God is doing something really exciting in the earth today: He is giving us revelation of how to step into the heavenly realms. He is showing us how we can choose to turn into the Kingdom of Light rather than into the kingdom which is in darkness. He is encouraging us to engage with what… Continue reading Questions of Destiny

In this series of blog posts we have seen how we need to enter into the realms of heaven and bring authority from that realm back into this one. We need to know God intimately, and we need to know who we are. We cannot hope to rule unless we have a really close relationship… Continue reading Familiar Spirits: Throne-takers and Destiny-destroyers

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light (1 Pet 2:9). We are royal, and we are a priesthood. What kings do is rule. And as priests, as we saw… Continue reading Investiture, Succession, Enthronement, Coronation

The kingdom of God is all around us. Not separate, not a long way away. So close that we can turn and look into it. So, too, is the kingdom that is in darkness. Which will we draw from? Depending on where we look, that is where we will draw our resources from. Our spirit… Continue reading Filthy Garments and Festal Robes

We looked in the last post at Jacob’s dream of a ladder set on earth and reaching into heaven. Now, let’s see how this worked out in the life of Jesus. And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and… Continue reading The Door of Heaven Stands Open

Between the heavens and the earth are the everlasting doors. These are the portals that were open when Adam was first created, so that he could manifest God’s glory. The earth still retains the residual memory of when they were open – the grid pattern of ley lines whose power is recognised by New Age… Continue reading Everlasting Doors

The diagram above is a representation of the realms of heaven we have been exploring. You may have heard people talk about the first, second and third heavens. In the past, that may have helped us to get some understanding of where we were, and how we could interact with heaven, but it was very… Continue reading Seven Mountains, Seven Thrones

Purifying, refining fire For some time now, the church has been at that point in God’s Prophetic Timetable which is characterised by the coming of fire, refining and purifying; the gathering and removing of stumbling blocks from the church and from our lives. It is not an easy time. Those stumbling blocks can be idols, they can be… Continue reading Image-Bearers of the Heavenly

Surrender When we open the door of our heart, when we open that First Love gate and let Jesus come in, He comes in and He rules. We can rule here in this realm on our own mountain, in our own house, but we rule through surrender. We give Him rulership of our life. Now as… Continue reading Surrender and Rule

Heavenly places In this series of posts we are considering the heavenly places. We have seen that there are indeed different places or realms in the heavens, and that we can access them even while we are living on the earth, just as Jesus did. And angels who did not keep their own domain, but… Continue reading Manifestation of the Sons of God

Give me the hill country When the Israelites finally crossed the Jordan under Joshua and began to occupy the land God had given them, Caleb said to him, “Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great… Continue reading The Enemy is Disarmed and Vulnerable

On this blog, we have been talking about mountains and thrones in the heavenly realms. I want to give you some scriptures now about mountains, what they represent, and how they outwork here in this earthly realm. We have seen this passage before about the fall of Lucifer, or Satan as we now call him:… Continue reading What Is a Mountain?

We have been seeing over several posts now how God intends us to enter into the realms of heaven, here and now while living on the earth. If you are ready, it is time today to actually do that. Step in, step out If you are able, please stand up and pray in tongues for… Continue reading Step into the Realm of Heaven

In this ‘Kingdom Realms’ series we have begun to understand that God intends us to have access to heaven, right now. But to do so there are certain steps we must follow. He said to Joshua, the High Priest: If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My laws, then you… Continue reading The Way, The Truth, and The Life

We are looking at how God invites us to ‘come up here‘, how He invites us to experience for ourselves the realms of heaven. Now I am only telling you about the places I have actually been myself, so that I can give you testimony from first-hand experience, and tell you that it is possible… Continue reading A Doorway to Experience

When Satan fell, he was seeking to overturn God’s eternal plan that Man should inherit the heavens. He wanted that place of rulership for himself. Time and Eternity Genesis 1:1. Before time, if you like. God created the earth to be inhabited, but then Lucifer rebelled, as we saw last time, and was cast down… Continue reading Seed Wars

We have seen that something catastrophic happened between the first two verses of Genesis. Satan fell. When God made the earth, as it is now, He removed it from the sphere it was in and placed it into time and space. God said, ‘Let there be light’ before He made the sun, and the moon,… Continue reading The Fall of Lucifer, the Light-Bearer

Joshua the High Priest And the angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My laws, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among… Continue reading The Heavens and the Earth

Free Access to the Realms of Heaven When you first hear teaching about the heavenly realms you might find it rather challenging to begin with. You may never have heard anything quite like this in the church before. Don’t be surprised if your spirit starts to respond before your mind has caught up. It is… Continue reading Kingdom Realms

36. The Joshua Generation will bring revelation that wherever the next generation place their feet they will possess. That possession includes not only this world but also the heavenlies. Both are their inheritance and destiny. So Moses swore on that day, saying, “Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#36-40)

We are approaching the end of this series looking at the generation who will possess all that God has promised, and be forerunners who inspire others to do the same. 31. The Joshua generation will be ruthless in the pursuit and eradication of the enemy. Again, we are not talking about fighting against flesh and… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#31-35)

Joshua led the children of Israel into their inheritance. If we want to do the same, what kind of people should we be? 26. The Joshua generation will start to be known and get public attention. Before the revival we experienced here in 2011, virtually no-one outside of North Devon knew we even existed. Suddenly,… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#26-30)

The veil is open: in the spirit we can walk through that veil which is Jesus’ flesh, into the heavenly realms. So, we can live there. There is a whole dimension here that we need to enter into. The Promised Land is not just about here on earth, it is about bringing heaven to earth.… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#21-25)

Over the past few posts we have looked at the first 20 characteristics of the Joshua generation. Before embarking on the other 20, this time I just want to explore something I have hinted at before but not really opened up fully with you. The Moses generation Remember how the Moses generation failed to enter… Continue reading Come Up Here – Bringing Heaven to Earth

God is raising up a Joshua Generation in our day: a generation who will enter into their inheritance and enable others to do the same. We have been looking at some of the defining characteristics of such a generation and considering to what extent those characteristics can be seen in our own lives. 16. The Joshua Generation… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#16-20)

The Joshua Generation are those who will enter the land of promise, and enable others to do the same. We have looked at 10 characteristics of that generation so far, and there are plenty still to come (so if you are new to this blog, it would probably be best to go back a  few… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#11-15)

In the previous post we began looking at 40 characteristics of the Joshua Generation, and today we are looking at the next 5. 6. The Joshua Generation will be men and women of faith, who speak and live by the word of God. That was the difference between the generations: being able to speak – and live… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#6-10)

We have seen that in our time God is raising up a Joshua generation, who will enter into their inheritance and enable others to do the same. This is what that generation will be like: 1. The Joshua Generation will be victorious warriors, dependent on God’s Spirit for supernatural victory. Do you remember the story… Continue reading Characteristics of the Joshua Generation (#1-5)

Preparing the next generation There is the Moses generation, and you don’t want to be part of that, as we will see. There is the Joshua generation, which I am going to focus on over the next few posts. And finally, there is another generation, the Jesus generation, who will see Jesus’ return. God is… Continue reading Lessons From The Moses Generation

Scripture teaches us that Satan is bound for a thousand years. In this short post I just want to look more closely at that figure and consider whether it is literal or symbolic. To do that, let’s look at some examples of how the Bible uses it in other places. For every beast of the… Continue reading A literal 1000 years?

We saw last time how important it is that our faith is in victory, in overcoming, in seeing God’s kingdom fill the earth. A theology of victory Kingdom and Covenant theology is a theology of victory. More and more people are starting to realise this because of the nature of what God is saying prophetically in… Continue reading Bound For A Thousand Years

Persecution Up to AD 70 most of the focus of teaching was preparing believers to live in that persecution leading up to Jesus’ coming in judgment upon Jerusalem. Initially, then, the prevailing conditions were persecution by Jews. After AD 70 persecution continued, but it was persecution by the Romans. The church took on a Jewish… Continue reading Defeat? Or Victory?

When Jesus comes back, He is coming for His bride, the church. So this scripture is talking about us: That He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless (Eph 5:27). And since each of us are part of that… Continue reading As He Is, So Are We

Mike Parsonswith Jeremy Westcott – Important note: as with the two previous posts, we need to let you know that we have changed our view of these things in the light of further revelation from God. We now see the whole of Matthew 24 as a warning about the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. References… Continue reading Scroll Of Destiny

‘But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had… Continue reading Grafted Back In

In this message, I want to look just a little more closely at the contrast between the Greek and Hebrew mind sets. The west has a Greek mindset and the east a Hebrew mindset, and then I would like God to reveal where we are being robbed by our Western way of looking at things… Continue reading Breaking off the Greek Mindset

We have been considering the disciples’ question about Jesus’ return and the end of the age. It is essential to view all this through covenant eyes. God has always worked through covenants with men, and every time it was men who broke them. But they were all fulfilled in Jesus: every promise God ever made… Continue reading Wheat and Tares

In this post we are going to begin by looking at some very familiar scriptures. We have been taught that they speak about the days we are living in, as the return of Jesus gets ever closer. But, understanding covenant thinking and covenant language, are they in fact referring to a future time, or are… Continue reading Leaven In the Lump

I suggested to you last time that Matthew 24 is one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted of all chapters in the Bible. This is because people read into it what they expect to see, and do not come with an appreciation of covenant language and covenant understanding. Good news? We will look at the… Continue reading And Then the End Will Come

Take eschatology, the study of the last things: it is all about Jesus. It is not about us, it is not about the church, it is not about the world – it is about Jesus. He comes to sum everything up. He holds everything together. All the Old Covenant looks forward to Jesus. All the… Continue reading Jesus, the Center of all History

Kingdom and covenant Our prophetic understanding must come in the context of God’s Kingdom and of covenant. Kingdom and covenant are two sides of the same coin. In order to get understanding of the purposes of God, we need understanding of both. Right from the very beginning it was God’s purpose to have a people who… Continue reading A Thousand-fold Increase?

Interpreting the times Maybe you are old enough to remember all those books about the supposed significance of the Common Market being 12 countries, or about Communism and the USSR? Well, we can see now that none of it was true. Today those books are just gathering dust on people’s bookshelves, and if they were… Continue reading Just One Answer?

Arise, shine; for your light has comeAnd the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.For behold, darkness will cover the earthAnd deep darkness the peoples:But the LORD will rise upon youAnd His glory will appear upon you.Nations will come to your light,And kings to the brightness of your rising’(Is 60:1-3). I said last time… Continue reading Revelation and Interpretation

We need to look at how we understand prophecy. Sons of Issachar Scripture tells us that the Sons of Issachar were people who understood the times, and who also had knowledge of what to do. We have had that prophesied over us here, but it is not only true for us, it is true for… Continue reading Please Do Not Stone Me…

We are continuing to look at the kingdom of God as prophesied in the book of Daniel. How great are His signsAnd how mighty are His wonders!His kingdom is an everlasting kingdomAnd His dominion is from generation to generation (Daniel 4:3). Supernatural The kingdom of God is a kingdom of power and supernatural manifestations. Jesus said… Continue reading The Supernatural Kingdom of God

And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For this… Continue reading New wine, new wineskin

In Daniel chapter 2, Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream that Jesus would come in the time of the Roman Empire to set up a kingdom which would continue to grow, and would overcome all other kingdoms. Daniel 7:18 tells us that … the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the… Continue reading A Dwelling of God

I pointed out last time that there are widespread demonic doctrines entrenched in the church, which attempt to place the kingdom of God and the authority of that kingdom in another time or give them to another people. Old Covenant The enemy will always try to take us back to an Old Covenant system. The… Continue reading Challenging the Sacred Cows

A time of persecution is coming. As with everything else, we need to be prepared for it. Persecution Where is it going to come from? Well, there are Nephilim spirits which are controlling world systems at the moment, but they are hiding. When the light starts to shine into the darkness, it begins to expose… Continue reading Demonic Doctrines in the Church

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich’(2 Corinthians 8:9). Rich Jesus gave it all up, all His heavenly majesty and everything that goes with it, and came as a man. But… Continue reading Breaking Off the Poverty Mentality

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,Because the LORD has anointed meTo bring good news to the afflicted;He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,To proclaim liberty to captivesAnd freedom to prisoners;To proclaim the favourable yearof the LORD (Isa 61:1-2a). God wants to provide for us financially, because the scale of the task… Continue reading Redeemed from the Curse

There is a level of resources that the church currently does not have but is going to need in order to accomplish what God intends in these last days. This is no surprise to Him, and He has planned for it in advance, so that throughout scripture we can find His promises of a wealth… Continue reading Blessing the Whole Earth

We have begun to glimpse the scale of the task facing the church if we are to reap a harvest of harvesters and train them up effectively in the supernatural. But God has a plan to ensure we have the resources to achieve all that He is asking of us, and part of that plan is… Continue reading The Wealth of the Nations

God has not revealed the things to come so that we can be fascinated as we look into it and see what He is doing: He has revealed it so that we can be prepared to play our part. There is a place of authority that God has always intended us to occupy, in which… Continue reading Enlarge The Place Of Your Tent

Ever since the Garden of Eden, man has been trying to do things apart from God. All we like sheep have gone astray – we have all done things our own way. The whole world system has been set up to provide an alternative to God, but it is coming down. The pride of man will be… Continue reading The Day Of His Power

Now it will come about that in the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains and will be raised above the hills; and all the nations will stream to it (Isa 2:2). There is going to be a shaking.I would encourage you to… Continue reading Nations Will Stream to It

We have seen how Joseph was called from the dungeon by Pharoah to interpret his dreams, and how he used the harvest of the years of plenty to provide food for the years of famine (Genesis 41). Joseph was able to do this because he had a relationship with God, and knew how to operate in… Continue reading Authentic Supernatural Power and Authority

People from past generations have longed to see what God is doing in our day, and we have the privilege of being able to be involved in it. It is not something to be taken lightly: we must embrace who we are, we must embrace who God is calling us to be. God is beginning… Continue reading Center of the World Stage

I believe that God is challenging us to surrender. And especially if you have been hardening your heart when you have seen God at work in revival, resisting what He is doing because things are not as you expected, this is an opportunity for you to surrender totally to Him, and allow Him to do… Continue reading Surrender Your Whole Life

Paul writes to the Romans, I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship (Rom 12:1). A living sacrifice is a prepared sacrifice. It will help us if we understand what was involved in offering a… Continue reading Present a Living Sacrifice 1

In the coming days, God is going to equip people in supernatural ministry. There will be cities of refuge (we read about cities of refuge in the Old Testament: they were places where people could go and be safe). God is speaking to us here at Freedom about being one of those cities of refuge. And… Continue reading Surrender, Crucifixion and Sacrifice

Now is the time God is looking for hearts that are truly His. Every one of us has a destiny prepared by God, and we must make sure we don’t miss it for the sake of our own stubbornness, our strongholds, or our own way of thinking. It is time to give it all to… Continue reading The Spirit and the Word in Unity

We are in the middle of looking at some serious issues which require a response from us. We saw last time that Jesus is saying to the church, ‘Repent, or else!’. There are things which God wants removed from His church in these days and if we are wise we will remove them ourselves –… Continue reading For Such A Time As This

It is, and always was from time and eternity past, God’s intention to have a bride for His Son. And that bride is going to be arrayed in finery, perfumed with fragrant oils, and adorned with precious jewels: she will not be dirty and dressed in filthy rags. Royal Wedding We had a royal wedding… Continue reading A Bride Bejewelled with Splendour

God is making us ready for the conflict that is inevitable if we are to bring in the harvest He is looking for. In the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew chapter 13, you will see that tares have been deliberately sown by the enemy to cause confusion and dismay. We are… Continue reading He Disciplines Those He Loves

One Sunday, as we were singing, I saw Jesus, and He was looking at me. He was the Jesus of Revelation chapter 1, with fire in His eyes; His gaze was penetrating, seeing into my head, seeing into my heart. There was love in His eyes, and fire, and He was looking deep within me.… Continue reading Conflict for Souls

God wants us to know Him and to know the reality of how He is revealed in the scriptures. Psalm 23 is a powerful psalm which talks about the intimate relationship God desires to have with us. We will just look at a couple of phrases but I want to encourage you to take the… Continue reading Meditating on Psalm 23

In our days, the prophetic books are being opened. Fresh revelation is being released: revelation of the Spirit, revelation of heaven, revelation of the days ahead. And God wants His people to get plugged into the Holy Spirit and to be aware of what is going on in our own lives, in the world around… Continue reading Stepping Up

Knowing our identity as sons of God begins with really knowing God and not just knowing about Him. Who are we? As sons of God, we are royalty. We have a royal identity. We are priests – those who have free and full access to the holy things of God. We are a habitation of… Continue reading Experiencing Intimate Knowledge of God

1 Chronicles 12:32, the Sons of Issachar were men who understood the times, with the knowledge of what to do. We will be people who understand the times we are in, who would understand the times that are going to come, and that we would know what to do when those times came. Miracles We… Continue reading Doing Greater Things Than Jesus

What God wants is our worship. It has nothing to do with singing songs, that is not what worship is – worship means obedience. It means that God wants us to be His people, who will do what He says and fulfill His purpose. It is described as service in Romans 12:1. ‘Therefore I urge… Continue reading Battle for Your Attention

There is a frequency of sound that is being released from heaven today: God’s voice. John 10:27 says, My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me.’ How many of you are hearing God’s voice? God wants you to hear his voice, and not just in big meetings or when someone’s speaking… Continue reading God in the Garden

We have to get ready and be prepared because the spiritual warfare which has been hidden is going to become more open and obvious. The meaning of the word ‘occult’ is just ‘hidden’ – spiritual warfare has been largely hidden in the western world – but as we have said before, soon the enemy’s schemes… Continue reading Authority, Power and Glory

We have been looking at what Jesus said, that ‘As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man’ (Matt 24:37). How was it, then, in the days of Noah? ‘The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons… Continue reading Nephilim: The Enemy Pollutes the Seed

“But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase” (Daniel 12:4). Seal up the book We are in a time when the seals are being broken and the books that were sealed up are being opened.… Continue reading Broken Seals, Open Warfare

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb 4:12). This passage is not talking about the Bible, despite what we may… Continue reading The Sword Comes to Divide

Light God is light. He is creative light. He created everything. There is also created light, which is the sun and the moon and the stars and all the other things which he created to bring light. In the Genesis story there was light before He created the sun. He is light. In Revelation 22… Continue reading Waterfalls, the Sound of God

Jesus is present in our past today, He has dealt with our past, so that nothing in our past can hinder our future if we surrender it to God. If we want a future in which we fulfil our destiny, we need to get the disclosure, the revelation, of the things that God is revealing. We… Continue reading The Pressure of God’s Presence

Einstein was working on something curious when he died, and many mathematicians went back to the last two blackboards that he was working on, to try to disprove what he had found (he had been trying to disprove it himself). What he had found was that there appeared to be a particle faster than light;… Continue reading Faster Than The Speed of Light

‘For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible’.  (Col 1:16). So that is (1) everything we see with our natural eyes, and (2) everything we can’t see of this visible realm (because the spirit realm is all around us, there are angles around you right now,… Continue reading The Power Source That Runs the Universe

Amos 3:7 tells us, ‘Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets’. God is speaking today: the key question is, are we hearing His voice? Jesus said, “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12). Parables Until… Continue reading Choices: Constantly Connected?

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… Continue reading Aligning with God’s Heart and Purpose

We cannot know who God really is other than through unconditional love, and we cannot know our true identity other than through unconditional love, because it is revealed in that loving relationship with God himself. The verse I want to highlight here is Jeremiah 17:9. When you compare the NIV with the Septuagint, you see… Continue reading The heart is deceitful

Dominion is the rule of God or the government of God. It is a government of life. When Jesus said that the enemy wants to rob, kill, and destroy, but He has come to give us life in abundance, that’s what He meant. It wasn’t a case of just getting through by the skin of… Continue reading The government of God

There are various levels of understanding and experience that take us deeper into what it means to be in unity, union, and ultimately, oneness with God. In earlier teachings, unity was often understood in terms of shared beliefs. If people agreed on doctrines or beliefs, they were considered to be in unity. However, this kind… Continue reading Levels of Understanding: From Unity to Oneness

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.

We abide in God’s Presence That’s where you can abide and dwell, whether you do it consciously or whether you’re doing it unconsciously; it’s all the time. We are seated with him in heavenly places. It’s happening all the time; we just become more aware of it and benefit from it. But it’s happening all… Continue reading Abiding in God

Every time there’s any sort of sign in the heavens, people say, “Oh yeah, the rapture’s coming, I mean, half the Amazon rainforest has been cut down to produce books about the rapture, and none of them came true. I’ve got a whole shelf filled with those books that people have either sent me or… Continue reading “The Rapture’s Coming!”
