THE NATURAL AND THE SPIRIT – TOOL OF IMAGINATION

 

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” -Matthew 5:8 ESV

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”-Psalm 19:14 ESV

GOOD MORNING. Ideas come from two principal sources. Read Genesis 3:1-7. It can come from God or from the Devil. To every idea, man weighs it like in this scripture. “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.” Genesis 3:6 ESV The natural man reasons in the natural sense. He thinks in the way of pleasure and self.

The spiritual man asks that the meditation of his heart be acceptable to God and he keeps his heart pure always so that he may see God. When your thoughts are in alignment with God, He will instruct you as to what to do to bring His thought to pass. When ideas and thoughts and imaginations come from the devil or with negative motives, it may succeed but will lead to death. The best source of idea is from the word of God. Any random idea that comes to your mind and trying to stick must be weighed by the revealed word of God the Bible. Then you can set your thoughts on it and it will form an image or vision which you can hold on to. What did you get from the scripture for meditation yesterday? Ephesians 1:3. 

PRAY: Dear Lord, let the meditations of my heart and the words of my mouth be acceptable to you Lord.
