508. God’s Desire For You | Discovering True Intimacy

Mike Parsons –

This is the relationship God wants us to have: the deepest, most intimate relationship we could ever have with anyone.

He wants to reveal Himself in such a way that this relationship becomes possible, because we are no longer caught up in the issues that have separated us from Him or made us fearful of intimacy.

Often we are afraid of getting close because we think, well, He will really know me. But He already knows us, and He loves us anyway. That love is unconditional. Because of that, we do not need to be afraid to be real or honest with Him. We can share how we feel. We can learn how He feels towards us and be inspired by that. This is real relationship. It is not abstract or distant. It is real, and because it is real, it includes everything.

Sometimes we struggle. Sometimes it is difficult. Sometimes things happen that we do not understand and we ask, how could God allow that to happen? We have questions. We have doubts. At times, we even experience unbelief. God understands all of that. He is not threatened by it. He wants to draw us closer and closer, deeper and deeper, bringing us to a place where He truly reveals Himself.

As He does that, we begin to see ourselves reflected back in the wonderful mirror of His face. We see ourselves as He made us. He reveals who we really are. He wants us to live in that intimacy, but intimacy always brings change. It brings transformation. Sometimes the crucible gets hot, releasing the things in us that hinder relationship and closeness. But there is no guilt, no shame and no condemnation in that process. There is only love.

It was love that inspired me to trust God and to open my heart and my life fully to Him. It was love that brought me to the judgment seat, where the fire of His presence burned away the wood, hay and stubble of my scroll. It was love that brought me to a place of complete surrender. If I had feared Him, I could never have done that. He wants us to come to a place where the intimacy of His presence reveals the true nature of His heart, and we discover that this is home.

Not knowing who we are keeps us from Him. Sin is not primarily a verb, something we do, but a noun, something we are affected by. We lost our identity, and because we do not know who we are, we feel unworthy, undeserving or unqualified for relationship with God. Sometimes we even think we do not need it. All of these mindsets keep us from the relationship God always intended and has always prepared for us.

God’s desire has always been for us to return to restored innocence, to face-to-face relationship. The things that keep us from that are lies. Paul said that we are alienated in our own minds. God has never been separated from us. We think these things keep us from Him, but in reality, God embraces us as we are. In that intimacy, He reveals who we truly are.

As we come into agreement with that truth, we begin to resonate with it. The frequency of truth changes us. We are entrained into alignment with who we always were, but lost sight of and forgot. It is not behaviour that keeps us from God. It is mindset. It is the way we see ourselves.

That is why God wants to renew our minds, to the true nature of who He is and who we are. He wants us to realise that the only thing that keeps us from Him is our own perception. Once we begin to see rightly, we discover that nothing can separate us from God, not even ourselves, because His love never fails and never gives up.

As the psalmist David said, where can I go from Your presence? If I go into the grave, You are there. If I go into the highest heavens, You are there. In Him we live and move and have our being. We cannot be separated from Him except in our own minds. God has never separated Himself from us.

507. Transforming Your Mind: The Key to Spiritual Renewal

Mike Parsons –

When God calls us into something, there is always a transformation that takes place in us. It is not just about what we are being used to do. Any change God brings will always change us. To come into agreement with God, we have to allow anything that is in disagreement with Him to be changed.

I cannot renew my own mind. God renews my mind by revealing truth. The way it used to work was that we would try to renew our minds by taking hold of truth, meditating on it and speaking it out until we believed it. But all we were really doing was trying to change our belief about something. We were not having an experience of that truth that then becomes a testimony of reality.

I tried many times to change my beliefs by modifying what I believed, often using a Bible verse. But in doing that, I was actually focusing on the negative of what I did not believe. When you are trying to change a belief, you are always thinking about what you are trying to change. An encounter with truth, a revealing of truth, God giving us truth, changes what we believe because it changes what we have experienced.

I can tell people all over the world about unconditional love and they may think it sounds wonderful. But if they have not experienced it, all they have is a belief about unconditional love, not a testimony of it. God wants us to know by experience, not just to know intellectually.

Most people are vibrating at the frequency of the problem while trying to change the problem. If you vibrate at the frequency of the answer and the solution, that is a higher frequency than the problem, and the problem will entrain and come into alignment with that higher frequency. If we focus on the negative frequency, we simply live in it. Truth will change whatever might be a fact.

Many people are striving for change. They strive for healing, for a change in circumstances, for finances or whatever blessing they are seeking. They are pressing in with God, but when you are pressing, you are not at rest. People often struggle with the finished work of Christ and with living from that finished work. Jesus has done everything necessary for life and godliness. Everything is available. But if I do not believe that, I will not receive it.

Something may be true, but is it true for me? The process of it becoming true for me often works like this: I believe I have received it before it manifests. I live in rest, knowing that it is true, and then the manifestation comes. In that process, I change. The truth does not change. I align with the truth that is already true, and it becomes true for me.

There is often a misunderstanding here. Some people think it is automatic, that God has done it and therefore they are not really involved. When it does not appear automatic, they become disappointed. Others think all they have to do is believe. But Jesus did not say that the truth you believe will set you free. He said the truth you know will set you free. To know is to have the full experience of it. Even before it manifests, you are living within the reality of it. You are content and at rest, not striving.

This can be hard when symptoms contradict that reality. I experienced this in my own healing process. I had symptoms and I was taking medication. The question was whether I would believe the symptoms or believe the healing that was mine. It took time to believe health more than the symptoms, until the symptoms became irrelevant to my knowing health.

I did not simply believe that I would be healed. I believed that health was my full inheritance. That changed everything. Then God said to me, “It is done. You can stop taking the tablets.” If I had stopped taking them earlier to prove my faith, that would not have been true faith. I would have been trying to force something. I encourage no one to stop taking medication unless God tells you to, or a doctor confirms it, because you need to be living in the reality of healing before you act outwardly.

What changed was my thinking. I did not change it myself. It changed when I began to focus on the solution. God is my healer. Health is my inheritance. I stopped asking for healing. I stopped thinking about being healed. My focus became health. At first, my focus had been on what I did not want, on the medication, the side effects and the diagnosis. But when my thinking shifted to living in health, the manifestation followed.

Do not focus on the negative in order to change it. Focus on the positive and live in it. That is where manifestation begins, when we live in the good of what is true. Nothing can shake that reality once it becomes our knowing. We are aligned with the truth, not trying to believe it, but living in it. When we know it, it sets us free.
