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.
