Welcome to Power Hour where we believe it is God's will for you to be.
Speaker A:Well, I'm your host, Kylie Terradez and this podcast is created from the weekly live streams that I do every Thursday at 1pm Mountain time.
Speaker A:Whether you tune in live or listen later, this message is something that you can receive today.
Speaker A:Let's get started.
Speaker A:Today we are going to be talking about the power of imagination.
Speaker A:The power of imagination.
Speaker A:And this is, this is always a fun, fun topic to teach on.
Speaker A:It is really.
Speaker A:We've got, we've got lots of, lots of stories about the power of imagination and some of them how our imagination just went a little bit out of control.
Speaker A:You know, when we're kids we have the imagination thing down.
Speaker A:When we get to be adults, we kind of struggle with this a little more, right?
Speaker A:We have a grandson who is three and a half and here and a granddaughter that's one.
Speaker A:And they just had the most amazing imagination.
Speaker A:They make up games and you know the favorite thing at the moment for little Michael is watch me.
Speaker A:Watch me wants to be.
Speaker A:He wants to make videos of so that he wants us to video him doing things so then he can watch himself as well.
Speaker A:He wants to be watched.
Speaker A:He has an amazing imagination.
Speaker A:It's hilarious.
Speaker A:But you know, this is a powerful thing that God has put on the inside of us.
Speaker A:And I think sometimes as we grow and as we go through life and maybe we experience different things in our life, the power of that, of our imagination gets dumbed down a little bit.
Speaker A:But it's given to us by the Lord and it's.
Speaker A:And it's powerful and it's important and it's how we actually see the word of God come to pass.
Speaker A:So that mechanism to imagine things, to see things on the inside of us that we don't necessarily see on the outside of us is really intrinsic to the, the area of healing.
Speaker A:And so if you would like today's notes, class notes, I'm actually going through.
Speaker A:This is Healing Chapter 2, Module 2 and Lesson 8 on Imagination from Power Academy.
Speaker A:There it is.
Speaker A:And so if you would like to have these notes and follow along or just to download them and have them for yourself, maybe you teach your Bible study or something like that.
Speaker A:You can use it as a tool or for your own reference, you can join our tuition free online Bible college called Power Academy.

Speaker A:And then you can just go along and download the today's notes.
Speaker A:Okay, but that's where I'm going to be teaching from today.
Speaker A:So let's, before we get into that, let's take a moment and pray, and then we're going to share the Word and then I'm going to be praying for people at the end.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So make sure you don't click off early yet.
Speaker A:We're going to be praying.
Speaker A:It's at the end.
Speaker A:It's going to be powerful.
Speaker A:So, Father God, I thank you that you're here with us today.
Speaker A:Holy Spirit, thank you that you're our teacher, that you lead us into all truth, that you reveal the hidden mysteries of the Word for us.
Speaker A:The things that have been hidden for us, not things that have been hidden from us.
Speaker A:And Holy Spirit, we just ask that you bring revelation, that you bring the rhema word for not just head knowledge, not just logos, but you help the word that we hear today become a rhema, a word for us that we can take and apply it to our lives.
Speaker A:Thank you, Jesus.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:All right, so turn in your scriptures.
Speaker A:We're going to jump right in here and we're going to look at, you can be looking at Proverbs 29, 18, 29, verse 18.
Speaker A:Now this is really important.
Speaker A:You know, I'm going to read this in the mev.
Speaker A:That's the modern English version.
Speaker A:But it says, where there is no vision, the people perish.
Speaker A:Now, it doesn't say where there is no.
Speaker A:Doctor, the people perish.
Speaker A:Or where there is no, you know, big bank account.
Speaker A:The, the people perish.
Speaker A:Or where there is no food, the people perish.
Speaker A:No, it says where there is no vision.
Speaker A:And I always thought that's kind of strange.
Speaker A:Where there is no vision, people literally are perishing and perishing.
Speaker A:You know, it means that people are fading away.
Speaker A:They're, they're, they're literally passing away.
Speaker A:They're, they're being destroyed.
Speaker A:They're not prospering, they're not thriving.
Speaker A:They're not healthy.
Speaker A:They're, I mean, they, they're deficient in multiple areas.
Speaker A:Their, their life is being destroyed rather than life being empowered.
Speaker A:And so, you know, we need to take a closer look at this because this word vision, it actually means to see spiritually.
Speaker A:It's talking about having revelation to the, to have spiritual sight.
Speaker A:The word vision is talking about not just seeing something in a natural sense.
Speaker A:And really what we could, we could break this scripture down.
Speaker A:I'm going to say the reason that people perish, that people.
Speaker A:That people are suffering more than God ever intended, the reason that there is a hardship and things like that in this world is because people have lost the ability to.
Speaker A:To see what God is doing in a spiritual realm.
Speaker A:They have lost the ability to see beyond natural circumstances.
Speaker A:You know, when you see a miracle manifest, it isn't the first time you see it come to pass.
Speaker A:Now let me explain that for a moment.
Speaker A:When a miracle manifests in somebody's body, it's not the first time that that has been seen.
Speaker A:That is the first time that they may have seen it physically, but it has been seen before in the.
Speaker A:In the supernatural realm, in the spirit realm, it has already been seen.
Speaker A:And when we see it in the.
Speaker A:In the physical realm, that's a different kind of seeing.
Speaker A:You know, children with their amazing imaginations, they have they.
Speaker A:No one has taught them yet that there is a difference between seeing physically something and seeing something on the inside.
Speaker A:And maybe when your kids were small, or maybe you've got grandkids and you have to, you know, you've had to find yourself saying, is that true?
Speaker A:Is that real?
Speaker A:Or is that something that's in your imagination?
Speaker A:You know, we played a game with our kids when they were little called, is it real or is it fake?
Speaker A:Is it real or is it fake?
Speaker A:And then there's different variations of that game.
Speaker A:But I remember one time we were in the car driving to school, and Hannah was about 4 years old, and we were going through all these different things.
Speaker A:Is it real?
Speaker A:Is it fake?
Speaker A:Is Santa real or is he fake?
Speaker A:Is the tooth fairy real?
Speaker A:Was a tooth fairy fake?
Speaker A:And then it came to, is Jesus real?
Speaker A:Rather, is Jesus real or is Jesus fake?
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And then we.
Speaker A:That was easy to answer for our kids.
Speaker A:You know, we raised them in the word.
Speaker A:And then it came to, is the devil real or is the devil fake?
Speaker A:And Hannah really thought about that.
Speaker A:Four years old.
Speaker A:She really thought about that for a long time.
Speaker A:And then she comes out with, you know, the devil is real, but his weapons are fake.
Speaker A:And I thought, wow, that's more revelation than some.
Speaker A:Some adults have.
Speaker A:I mean, I wish I had that revelation at 4 years old.
Speaker A:You know, she understood that the.
Speaker A:There is a.
Speaker A:We live in a world where the enemy.
Speaker A:The devil is a real enemy.
Speaker A:But a lot of the attacks, a lot of things that he comes at people with sickness being one of them is a fake weapon.
Speaker A:It's a weapon formed against us, but it doesn't have to prosper because it shouldn't have the power in it that sometimes that we see that it does.
Speaker A:So this imagination is really important.
Speaker A:You know, imagination is how God created the world.
Speaker A:God saw the world before he created the world and you know, he created each one of us to be in this world.
Speaker A:He put this world together with such care.
Speaker A:I actually think it takes more, more faith to be agnostic and believe that there is no God than it does to be a Christian.
Speaker A:Because, you know, understanding that the world was created with such thought and such care and such, you know, I can't, I.
Speaker A:There is no other explanation that there was an intelligent design behind that.
Speaker A:And we come to know and have a relationship with God Almighty.
Speaker A:But you know, to, to say all of this just came together, this universe just came together because there was some freak accident in space and you know, gases just happened to come together and you know, there was a, some sort of light and explosion and boom.
Speaker A:Here we are living in different countries, you know, and we have all of these different creatures and all of these different species and you know, we have all of these different cycles and you know, even the atmosphere, I mean, it's amazing.
Speaker A:The seasons that change and you know, if you look inside the human body, the intricacies of the human body, all of that just happened randomly because some gases came together and there was an explosion.
Speaker A:I mean, I mean, come on, that just takes, that's just so unbelievable to me.
Speaker A:When we look at the complexity of our world.
Speaker A:Even if you just take spiritual, spiritual ideas out of the, out of the way, just looking at something naturally, the chances, the probability of that explosion, those gases somehow creating everything that we have today is so random is so far fetched to me then like you've had to make up some elaborate plan to really deny what is blatantly obvious in the fact that there is a God.
Speaker A:There is an intelligent designer that thoughtfully imagined the world and imagined people and imagined animals and designed them and put them together.
Speaker A:Man, God is so phenomenal.
Speaker A:His imagination is so vast, is so great.
Speaker A:One of the things we love about traveling around and ministering and having the privilege of being able to do that is that we get to experience different cultures, we get to see different things, we get to, you know, meet different people and appreciate something that God has put in every single one of those different environments, in every different one of those people groups and the complexity.
Speaker A:And I just meant I'm just in awe every day of just the imagination that God had to see that before so that he saw those things so that we can now see them today.
Speaker A:So imagination is hugely important.
Speaker A:And he created us with this ability to see beyond natural circumstances is to see something.
Speaker A:And, you know, some people say, oh, I don't have any imagination.
Speaker A:I'm just not very creative.
Speaker A:You know, your imagination is not down to whether you are creative creative or not, whether you can paint a picture or not, whether you can, you know, do make something with your hands or not.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That has nothing to do with your imagination.
Speaker A:Your imagination is something that God put on the inside of every single person.
Speaker A:And it was there as a child.
Speaker A:You can see it very clearly as a child and as an adult when you.
Speaker A:Maybe we have learned to suppress that, but that imagination is there, and we use our imagination every day.
Speaker A:If ever you get in your car or just step out of your house and go for a walk, you are using your imagination to get somewhere.
Speaker A:You know, your brain on the inside of you can see the turns in the road that you need to make.
Speaker A:It's already seen that it knows where to go.
Speaker A:It has seen those things on the inside before.
Speaker A:It sees those things on the outside.
Speaker A:So you use your imagination just to navigate somewhere.
Speaker A:You use your imagination to put things together.
Speaker A:You use your imagination to do mental math on the inside of you.
Speaker A:You use your imagination to think about what you're going to cook for dinner that night.
Speaker A:You're using your imagination every single day.
Speaker A:And it's that important that God created you that way.
Speaker A:And it's very important in the realm of healing and, and in the realm of faith, because hope comes from our imagination.
Speaker A: Jeremiah: Speaker A:You know, that's.
Speaker A:That's a.
Speaker A:That's a hope and a future.
Speaker A:Hope sees the future.
Speaker A:Hope has a.
Speaker A:As is a confident expectation of something good happening in the future.
Speaker A:You know, when it.
Speaker A:When it comes to some of our meetings, you know, we're having a healing meeting this weekend.
Speaker A:And, you know, people come and they, you know, they come and they come with expectation because usually they've heard the word or they've heard a testimony.
Speaker A:And when they hear the testimony, they think, oh, man, if God did that for that person, then maybe he can do that for me.
Speaker A:And their imagination goes towards their future.
Speaker A:You see, hope is linked to your future.
Speaker A:And hope is, you know, that hope comes, it's.
Speaker A:But it's the birthplace that comes in your imagination.
Speaker A:Imagination is like a spiritual womb.
Speaker A:It creates things.
Speaker A:It Has a creative power.
Speaker A:If people didn't have a hope and an expectation of something good, they wouldn't get in their car and bother traveling to the meeting.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:So imagination is very, very important.
Speaker A:It's crucial to understand that the part that imagination plays in our health and even in our prosperity, in how that we see ourselves.
Speaker A:You know, you see, I, I, I've met people that have been through some just terrible atrocities.
Speaker A:I have a friend of mine that she, she escaped the Congo and she, she actually was very heavily pregnant.
Speaker A:She had two other little children.
Speaker A:Her husband had been abducted by the militia.
Speaker A:And, you know, she got up and she walked out of the Congo.
Speaker A:This was back in the 90s.
Speaker A:And, you know, she, she overcame some imag, some amazing trials, and eventually the end of the story is where she managed to meet up with her husband again in the country, and they all escaped.
Speaker A:But it was her imagination of having, you know, having hope in her heart that God had something more for her, that he would protect her, that he would lead her, that there was a future that involved safety and provision and her family being back together again.
Speaker A:She would never have got up out of that ditch and made that journey and risked her life, you know, with the, with the children and everything, if she didn't have a hope for her future.
Speaker A:She had seen something.
Speaker A:She had seen that future, that place of safety on the inside of her, or she never would have made the story, never would have made the journey, and she never would have survived.
Speaker A:You know, hope will keep you going when you, when, when everything else is lost.
Speaker A:So imagination is absolutely crucial.
Speaker A: ctually did a, a study in the: Speaker A:So he made these rats swim until the point of failure, until they could swim no more, and then they gave up.
Speaker A:And he timed these different groups of rats to see, because biologically they were the same.
Speaker A:But he wanted to see the difference of a mindset of a rat.
Speaker A:Right, what, what is it?
Speaker A:Is there any differences in the way that those animals are treated?
Speaker A:Those rats are treated that would cause them to swim further or to swim less, to overcome or to give up in failure, depending not on their physical biology.
Speaker A:Physically wise, they were the same.
Speaker A:But was there a mindset that enabled them to push on past the problem?
Speaker A:Or, or was there a mindset that would lead them into failure?
Speaker A:And this was a fascinating experiment, but they put these my These, These rats in this tub of water, and they realized that the.
Speaker B:The.
Speaker A:The lab rats, that the ones that were pampered, they swam a lot further than the wild rats because they had, you know, they.
Speaker A:Maybe they had.
Speaker A:They had trauma.
Speaker A:But, you know, one thing that they did was they time this, this experiment.
Speaker A:And just before the, you know, they, They.
Speaker A:I think the average.
Speaker A:The average rat swam for like three or four minutes, something like that.
Speaker A:I can't remember the specifics, but, you know, they realized something when they took, you know, if they took the rats out of the water right before they were ready to give up, and they dried them off and they gave them, you know, they.
Speaker A:They gave them some love and some comfort, and then they put them back into the.
Speaker A:Into the water.
Speaker A:Those rats would keep on swimming, and they were astonished.
Speaker A:You know, how long.
Speaker A:Let me just do a little survey here.
Speaker A:How long do you think those rats swam for after they were, you know, petted and warmed up, before they were put back into the water on the second time?
Speaker A:The first time they swam for a few minutes, how long do you think it was that they swam when they were put back into the water?
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:Maybe we even put some guesses at them in the comments there.
Speaker A:You know, sometimes people say, well, I think they're gonna swim for, you know, six minutes or seven minutes or, you know, maybe.
Speaker A:Maybe an hour more than, you know, than they would have done before.
Speaker A:Actually, they swam for so much longer than that.
Speaker A:This will blow your mind.
Speaker A:They Swam for like 60 hours longer.
Speaker A:And they realize the difference between these rats wasn't biological.
Speaker A:It was that the ones that had been taken out and warmed up and put back in again, you know, even though there wasn't a biological difference, the.
Speaker A:The difference was now on their mindset, they had an imagination.
Speaker A:They imagined what it would be like to finish, to be picked back up out of that water again.
Speaker A:Ten minutes.
Speaker A:Yeah, see, right.
Speaker A:The people are coming in with their different ideas.
Speaker A:No, actually, 60.
Speaker A:60 Hours.
Speaker A:Right, 60 hours.
Speaker A:They swam for longer because in their imagination, they imagined something good.
Speaker A:They had a hope and a future.
Speaker A:That's how powerful that imagination is.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:It's a stunningly long time.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:So this is.
Speaker A:This is really important.
Speaker A:And if we can see on the inside by our imagination something changing in our life, then we can have it.
Speaker A:That is the mechanism for how God set up creation.
Speaker A:Let me, Let me prove this to you how important imagination is in healing.
Speaker A:Because throughout the Word, we'll see people.
Speaker A:We can see people in the scriptures that God spoke to in Dreams and visions.
Speaker A:He showed them things not on the outside of them, but he spoke to them in dreams.
Speaker A:He spoke to them in visions.
Speaker A:He spoke to them on the inside of them.
Speaker A:Before they saw something on the outside, they saw it on the inside.
Speaker A:Let me show you this.
Speaker A:In Psalm 1, verse 2, it says, but his delight is in the law of the Lord.
Speaker A:And in his law he meditates the day and night.
Speaker A:Now one of the words meditate, it's not so sit cross legged on the floor, I can go right.
Speaker A:But the one of the week, the meanings of the word meditate is to imagine.
Speaker A:You know, in Joshua 1:8 the you know, the word of the Lord came to Joshua and it says, and it said to meditate in this, in this word, day and night.
Speaker A:Don't turn from it to the left or to the right, but it will make meditating it day and night.
Speaker A:And it'll make your way prosper us and of good success.
Speaker A:That's the same word, meditate.
Speaker A:It means to speak it, study it, utter it, roar it like a line.
Speaker A:Or to imagine it, imagine it.
Speaker A:In other words, if we can imagine the Word of God, if we can see the word of God on the, on the inside of us, we'll start to see it on the outside.
Speaker A:And I do this when I'm reading the Word, Excuse me,.
Speaker B:When I'm reading.
Speaker A:The word of God, I'll meditate on a scripture.
Speaker A:And if I don't understand what that scripture is, I'm like, lord, show me it.
Speaker A:Let me see it on the inside.
Speaker A:I'll use my imagination.
Speaker A:I say, I'm an immersive reader.
Speaker A:So when I'm reading the Word, I'm imagining, you know, I'm walking along the banks of the Nile, I'm witnessing Moses being put in the basket.
Speaker A:I'm there on the date of crucifixion and there when the angel appeared to, to the, the, the shepherds, you know, and the field.
Speaker A:I'm there when Pharaoh and went through the ten plagues, I'm there.
Speaker A:I'm an immersive reader.
Speaker A:That you know that using your imagination, that's how you meditate upon the word of God.
Speaker A:You know, when our daughter Hannah was sick, I imagined myself like the woman with the issue of blood.
Speaker A:And I'm like, if I can just touch the hem of his garment, I know my daughter shall be made well.
Speaker A:And that, you know, that played out in, in the whole path of her testimony.
Speaker A:If you haven't seen Hannah's healing testament, we just actually did a 20th anniversary special.
Speaker A:It's been 20 years since she's been healed.
Speaker A:So I would really encourage you to go on our website.
Speaker A:You can find that.
Speaker A:And I think you can find that on YouTube as well.
Speaker A:Maybe the team has a link for that.
Speaker A:But you can watch that.
Speaker A:You know, that.
Speaker A:That whole process.
Speaker A:Our daughter was born with an incurable disease and she was sent home from the hospital to die at just three years old, the age our grandson is now.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker A:And you know, instead of.
Speaker A:Instead of going there, we actually took her to a conference, an Andrew Wommack conference.
Speaker A:And that's when I'm saying, when I read about the mark, chapter five, about the woman with the issue of blood, that she had, she heard the word of God and she went, man, we knew that we needed to go.
Speaker A:We couldn't just sit in our seats.
Speaker A:We needed to go to that event.
Speaker A:And so we took Hannah there and Andrew Womma prayed for her and she was healed.
Speaker A:But you know, what led up to that?
Speaker A:Well, the whole time that she was sick, God gave me visions.
Speaker A:I started to see Hannah healed before we saw Hannah healed and the visions.
Speaker A:And you'll see this in this documentary that God gave me three specific visions.
Speaker A:One was her riding a tricycle just in, like, short time in the future.
Speaker A:One was, you know, in a couple of years in the future, in her first day of school at 5 years old.
Speaker A:And one was on her wedding day being walked down the aisle by my husband, Ashley.
Speaker A:And I saw all of those three visions on the inside of me.
Speaker A:So I saw.
Speaker A:I had a vision of our daughter healed in all of those three.
Speaker A:Those three visions that the Lord showed me.
Speaker A:I started to see it and that started to create something that started to.
Speaker A:That imagination is powerful.
Speaker A:I meditated on those visions and like, I meditated on the word of God.
Speaker A:And you know, we saw what in the physical, what we had been meditating on in.
Speaker A:In the spiritual.
Speaker A:Man, there's a massive correlation here.
Speaker A:You know, you can look at this.
Speaker A:In Psalms 2, verse 1, it says, why do the nations rage and the people's plot in vain?
Speaker A:Plot.
Speaker A:That's a scheme.
Speaker A:That's a plan.
Speaker A:Why do they plan something in vain?
Speaker A:And that word plot is also the same word for imagine.
Speaker A:Imagine.
Speaker A:You know, there.
Speaker A:There is a plan.
Speaker A:To imagine something is to plan for something.
Speaker A:You know, our son is getting married, our middle son Joshua is getting married in September and that we're involved in the wedding planning.
Speaker A:When you're planning a wedding, you have a picture on the inside of what you think it's going to look like.
Speaker A:And you plan for it.
Speaker A:You imagine something and you plan for it.
Speaker A:People that believe they are, that they are healed plan to be well, they plan to recover, they plan to overcome.
Speaker A:You know, I pray for somebody in Atlanta once that was in a wheelchair and they came and they said they had a pair of tennis shoes tied by their strings of the tennis shoes to the arm of their wheelchair.
Speaker A:And I said to them, you know, what is, what are these tennis shoes?
Speaker A:What's the story here?
Speaker A:And they said, I came here and I bought my tennis shoes.
Speaker A:Because when you pray for me, I going to put those tennis shoes on and I'm going to start running around the room.
Speaker A:I mean, that person had an imagination and then they had a plan on the inside of them.
Speaker A:And let me tell you, that person that couldn't walk before, that's why they were in the wheelchair.
Speaker A:They had crippled feet.
Speaker A:You know, their plan that they saw on the inside by their imagination was the plan in a few moments time that they saw on the outside.
Speaker A:And sure enough, they put those shoes on their feet and they took off running.
Speaker A:Man, it was a phenomenal thing, but they had a plan.
Speaker A:Imaginations plan for something.
Speaker A:You know, we need to make sure that we are planning for our future plan.
Speaker A:You know, lots of people plan for retirement.
Speaker A:Don't plan for retirement, plan for refinement.
Speaker A:God has a plan for you.
Speaker A:He has a plan for you, right?
Speaker A:And it's good.
Speaker A:And it just doesn't end just because you get to, you know, 65 or 70 or whatever the number is for you, right?
Speaker A:It doesn't matter how old you are, you know, retirement.
Speaker A:Let me just say this.
Speaker A:Retirement is not even in the scripture.
Speaker A:Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't have, you know, money, money set aside for the days when you.
Speaker A:You don't work and things.
Speaker A:But, you know, there is a mindset.
Speaker A:We need to understand that God has a plan for our life.
Speaker A:And it doesn't just end with a number.
Speaker A:It doesn't just end because we have difficulties, because we have trials, because we get to a certain age in life, we need to be imagining our future, imagining our latter days being more glorious than our former days, right?
Speaker A:This is really important because if you imagine for you to just get old and decrepit and, and start, you know, everything's crumbling and everything's falling apart, and you just imagine sitting in your rocking chair doing nothing, growing old, you know, being lonely, being miserable, being poor.
Speaker A:You know, you don't want to imagine that because that what that means is what you imagine is what you plan for.
Speaker A:Don't plan for that.
Speaker A:Don't plan for sickness.
Speaker A:Don't plan for decrepitness.
Speaker A:Don't plan for poverty.
Speaker A:You know, what you imagine is what you plan for.
Speaker A:And this, you know, this is really, really important because sometimes the negative imagination of our heart is actually holding, holding onto sickness when we really want to be holding onto a picture of healing.
Speaker A:Because if healing is the direction if what we're believing for, we need to quit imagining sick because it actually builds a framework for something.
Speaker A:This is important.
Speaker A:It actually builds a framework.
Speaker A:This is a good question.
Speaker A:Kirsten says.
Speaker A:How do you stop intrusive visions that are very bad things happening?
Speaker A:I don't want to think on those things, but it just comes into my mind like I'm playing a movie.
Speaker A:You know, Kirsten, I'm really glad that you asked this question.
Speaker A:I had this, and I've had this in the past before, but I had this just the other day and things were popping into my mind and it was like they were terrible things.
Speaker A:Terrible.
Speaker A:I'm not even going to tell you what they were, but they were terrible and evil things.
Speaker A:And, you know, I've learned now that those things can come from just out of nowhere.
Speaker A:Those things can come from maybe something that you have that has been triggered by something that you see or hear, maybe a movie or something that you listen to or even something that you read.
Speaker A:Or they can just be demonic.
Speaker A:And, you know, just because you have such a.
Speaker A:Something evil and evil imagination come to you, it doesn't mean.
Speaker A:And that it has to stay.
Speaker A:You know, the Lord gave me this picture once that your mind is like an air traffic control tower.
Speaker A:And you know, air traffic controllers, they sit in the tower in the airport with the Runway underneath.
Speaker A:And those plan, those planes, those airplanes, they're circling in the airspace, they're going around and around and around, but those planes need to have permission to land.
Speaker A:And he showed me that these planes were representative of my thoughts and imaginations, you know, but the air traffic control tower was like my mind.
Speaker A:And I, you know, those, those thoughts.
Speaker A:Just because those thoughts, those airplanes came into the airspace of my mind, it didn't mean that they had permission to land.
Speaker A:So when those, those evil things, those pictures pop into your mind out of nowhere.
Speaker A:What I've learned to now is I'm like, no, I rebuke you.
Speaker A:You can get out right now.
Speaker A:And I purposely change my, my thought pattern on something that is good, that is godly, that meditate on something that is good to replace that thought.
Speaker A:So you can take imagination, you can take authority even over evil imaginations.
Speaker A:And that's really important.
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:In Psalm 103, verse 14.
Speaker A:For he knows our frame, and he remembers that we are dust.
Speaker A:Now, the word frame, frame here is also the same word for imagination.
Speaker A:You see, when we imagine something, we are building a framework.
Speaker A:It is literally, it starts in our imagination.
Speaker A:But what we allowed to be planted, not just to come into the airspace of our mind, but what we allowed to be planted in our imagination and rooted in our imagination is really important that we take charge over our thought life and don't let it just daydream and wonder because it actually starts to create something.
Speaker A:It creates a framework for that thing to be manifest in the natural world.
Speaker A:This is important.
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:In Hebrews 11, verse 3, it says, by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God.
Speaker A:The world itself, our physical creation, the earth was framed.
Speaker A:The, the structure, the framework was put together by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which were visible.
Speaker A:What we imagine becomes a framework for our reality in the natural world, right?
Speaker A:So what God imagined, he then spoke and then it became a reality.
Speaker A:What we, you know, and you could, you could go back to this, you know, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he, is it, you know, he's a proverb.
Speaker A:And when we, when we allow imaginations to stay in our heart that aren't godly, they will build a framework and they'll actually start to construct something.
Speaker A:And then when they get to that point, we'll start to speak that framework out of our mouth.
Speaker A:And it has a creative power.
Speaker A:You know, I've got a teaching series called Manifesting Miracles.
Speaker A:And it goes through this process of creating, confession, creation, and manifestation.
Speaker A:So if we don't like what we are creating, we can change that framework and we can change what we're thinking upon what we're imagining, therefore what we're building on the inside.
Speaker A:And we can change what we're speaking.
Speaker A:You know, everything in everything in the scripture comes via a seed.
Speaker A:It really does.
Speaker A:And every seed produces after its own kind.
Speaker A:So imagination is the can, is the conception of your miracle seed, so of your healing seed, of your prosperity seed.
Speaker A:So you can, you can.
Speaker A:When you imagine something, it's like.
Speaker A:It's like planting a seed in the ground and it will bear fruit.
Speaker A:You know, the only kind of seeds that don't bear fruit are the kind that aren't Planted, you can have a packet.
Speaker A:I mean, I learned this when I was a kid.
Speaker A:It was fascinating me that you could go to the supermarket or to the garden center and you could get packets.
Speaker A:They had racks and racks of packets and they had little pictures on all the packets and some were beans and some were tomatoes, and some were, you know, flowers, whatever, but it was all packets and the pictures showed what they were going to be.
Speaker A:And I thought, man, that's really interesting because it has a picture of something on the outside, but that when you open up the packet, it doesn't look like it.
Speaker A:You know, when you open up the seed packet, it might have had tomatoes on, on the picture on the outside of the packet.
Speaker A:But when you open the seed packet and look inside it, I can't see tomatoes.
Speaker A:All I can see is seeds.
Speaker A:And I realized I had to take that seed from inside that packet and plant it in the ground.
Speaker A:And my imagination would see it as a full grown tomato plant with tomatoes on it.
Speaker A:But I couldn't see the picture yet until I planted the seed.
Speaker A:We had to use our imagination to take that seed and plant it and allow that seed to do its work.
Speaker A:And every seed of the word of God that's planted in our heart and that is meditated on, that is imagined, it will bear fruit.
Speaker A:You can imagine a seed of healing being planted in you today.
Speaker A:You know, maybe, you know, every word that I speak, every time we open our mouth, seeds come out.
Speaker A:Now we can't see, see physical seeds spraying out.
Speaker A:That would be really weird.
Speaker A:But you know, if every word that came out, it was a seed.
Speaker A:Every seed has power.
Speaker A:And let me just say this, there's always life in the seed.
Speaker A:There's life in the seed.
Speaker A:Everything that we're ever going to need, every breakthrough that ever we're ever going to need, is created in seed form.
Speaker A:When God created the world, he created trees and he created, you know, and he created every kind of vegetation and he created every kind of animal.
Speaker A:And he put inside that vegetation, he put inside those animals, he put inside humans seeds, you know, seeds to create more, more of the same kind.
Speaker A:So everything that God created was in seed form.
Speaker A:But in order to get that seed to germinate, we have to use our imagination, that we have to conceive it first.
Speaker A:And, and our imagination is like a spiritual conception.
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:So, you know, and we can actually use our imagination in negative things as well.
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:In Job 3, verse 25, it says, for the thing I feared greatly has come upon me and that what I have dreaded has happened to me.
Speaker A:You know, one of the reasons why the bad things happened to, to Job was because he had a seed in his imagination.
Speaker A:He imagined all of those bad things happened.
Speaker A:He, he empowered the enemy.
Speaker A:The enemy came and he tested and he afflicted Job.
Speaker A:You know, Job's the oldest book in the scripture.
Speaker A:And God didn't have a covenant with Job.
Speaker A:There was no promises that were spoken over Job.
Speaker A:Job didn't have a covenant of protection.
Speaker A:He had no right to, to protect Job in Job, you know, and it's not like the covenant that we have today in the New Testament.
Speaker A:And so the things that when, when Job feared things, it empowered the enemy to create that mess.
Speaker A:Now, this is really important.
Speaker A:One of the things I tell people often is never use negative imagination as entertainment.
Speaker A:So, you know, our world today, we actually and I were looking to go to the movies the other day, and so we were looking to see what was on at the cinema.
Speaker A:And you know, there's always, at the cinema, there's always, you know, horror movies and just, you know, things that we have no interest in watching.
Speaker A:Now when I was, I didn't get born again until I was 17, and I watched a lot of horror movies before I was born again.
Speaker A:And I, so I can speak from both sides of the fence here.
Speaker A:You know, I wasn't always born again.
Speaker A:I didn't grow up in a Christian home.
Speaker A:But I can tell you I can still now as a, as a.
Speaker A:And I'm talking 31 years later, I can tell you that I can still see the images from those horror movies.
Speaker A:If I close my eyes, I can see them on the inside, on the inside of me.
Speaker A:And I haven't watched them in 31 years.
Speaker A:And I tell you what would happen if I was to recall those images and meditate on those.
Speaker A:I would empower the enemy through fear.
Speaker A:And you know, what you think upon, what you meditate on, your body starts to react to.
Speaker A:This is really important.
Speaker A:If you watch a scary movie, don't do this because don't use fear as entertainment.
Speaker A:Your heart doesn't know any different.
Speaker A:Your heart, you know, adrenaline in your body is going to pump around your heart.
Speaker A:You're going to go around locking the doors and checking under the bed and turning all the lights on, not because you thought that movie was real, but because your, your heart doesn't know any different.
Speaker A:And your physical body will react to things in your imagination.
Speaker A:So the negative imagination of your heart builds a framework and actually opens the door.
Speaker A:Empowers the enemy to move in your life.
Speaker A:If you, if you are constantly imagining yourself sick, you will be sick.
Speaker A:You know, I used to really struggle with this.
Speaker A:I grew up, you know, pretty sickly as a kid.
Speaker A:I had all these things spoken of me as a kid.
Speaker A:And so a lot of my imagination was imagined.
Speaker A:I didn't realize this at the time, but subconsciously imagining myself sick, sick all the time.
Speaker A:And it became a self fulfilling prophecy.
Speaker A:It opened the door to the enemy.
Speaker A:But that's the reason why Job was afflicted in so many ways.
Speaker A:Because the thing he feared was empowered and it came upon him but the opposite side of that.
Speaker A:So your imagination could be used positively, it can be used negatively.
Speaker A:Let's look at where our imagination needs to be.
Speaker A:In Isaiah 26, verse 3, it says, you keep him in perfect peace.
Speaker A:Peace.
Speaker A:Who needs some perfect peace?
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:I have a whole series called the Supernatural Power of Peace.
Speaker A:That's a good one.
Speaker A:But it says, you will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon you because he trusts in you.
Speaker A:Now this is really important.
Speaker A:This word mind here is also imagination.
Speaker A:If you read the same passage in the message, it says this.
Speaker A:People with their minds set, set on you, you keep completely whole, steady on their feet because they keep at it and don't quit.
Speaker A:They depend on God and keep at it.
Speaker A:Because in the Lord God you have a sure thing.
Speaker A:Now the word mind and imaginations are used interchangeably.
Speaker A:When we keep our imagination, our mind, our thinking stayed upon the things of God.
Speaker A:We steady on our feet, we're not pushed around anymore.
Speaker A:You know, one thing that fear and anxiety wants to do is like the playground bully, he wants to intimidate you.
Speaker A:Fear and anxiety, they want to intimidate you.
Speaker A:But Timothy says that we weren't given a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind, of a sound imagination.
Speaker A:You see, fear doesn't belong to us.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:It doesn't belong to us.
Speaker A:Peace belongs to us.
Speaker A:Peace is the fruit of our spirit.
Speaker A:And so when we keep our mind set upon him, you know, and we say, and don't quit, you know, sometimes you're going to have to battle those thoughts.
Speaker A:A few times, A few, you know, more than just once.
Speaker A:Amy says, what if I struggle seeing myself in the future healthy?
Speaker A:Sometimes we've got to keep at it, you know, it's a determination.
Speaker A:So every time those thoughts come to me, every time those negative thoughts come to me, I had to stand against those and replace it with something good.
Speaker A:You know, this is I just highlighted our giveaway today, if you're just joining us is brain training.
Speaker A:We can train our brain or to meditate upon the word of God.
Speaker A:This is really.
Speaker A:I'm going to encourage you, if you share the live stream, you could be entered to win it.
Speaker A:But I would encourage you get it anyway because it's a really awesome teaching.
Speaker A:We can, we have to learn.
Speaker A:It's almost like, you know, your physical health, your physical body.
Speaker A:If you want to be fit and healthy, you can't just sit and eat junk food right now.
Speaker A:Junk food now and again is okay, but you can't just sit and eat junk food and do no exercise and then whine that you're sick, right?
Speaker A:And whine that everything hurts and whine that you're overweight.
Speaker A:No, you have to take charge, right?
Speaker A:You have to take charge of what you eat.
Speaker A:You have to take charge of, you know, looking after your temple and giving it some daily exercise and, you know, using your brain and using your muscles and keeping things active.
Speaker A:And so it's the same way with our thought life.
Speaker A:If we don't like the fruit we're seeing in our life and we realize that we have a really negative mindset and that we have a really negative imagination and we have been meditating on the wrong things, we can change that picture of by just some simple things, meditating upon the word of God.
Speaker A:And when I talk about meditating, I'm talking about when you read the word, imagine those scriptures.
Speaker A:See yourself like it's.
Speaker A:It's been spoken to you in the first person.
Speaker A:Imagine yourself being in that location and hearing that.
Speaker A:And you know, when the word of God, he says, he.
Speaker A:Psalm 107, 20, he sent his word and healed them, saying they imagine.
Speaker A:Oh, thank you, Lord.
Speaker A:You're sent.
Speaker A:You've sent your word and healed me.
Speaker A:Imagine when you read the word of God, that healing word goes into you.
Speaker A:It affects your cells, it affects your bones, it kills the cancer.
Speaker A:It makes those organs to work, it makes that spine to straighten.
Speaker A:It makes those crumbling vertebrae come back together again.
Speaker A:You imagine, you imagine that when you sit and read the word God, use your imagination, you know, allow that word like it's jumping off the page.
Speaker A:And if you, and if you say out of your mouth, imagine it's going into every cell and it's bringing life into every cell.
Speaker A:Use your imagination.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:Really important.
Speaker A:It's not a book, Amy.
Speaker A:It's a teaching brain training.
Speaker A:Okay, That'll be good for you.
Speaker A:You can get that on our, on our website.
Speaker A:But look at this.
Speaker A:And I just read some 107, 20.
Speaker A:We can make the word of God our obsession.
Speaker A:You know, we need to brainwash ourselves with the truth Psalm.
Speaker A:So often we have been brainwashed with every opinion of man, with every MRI or doctor's report or negative blood test or whatever it is.
Speaker A:We get brainwashed with that stuff.
Speaker A:So fight back, fight back.
Speaker A:You start speaking over your body, you declare the word of God over your.
Speaker A:But you imagine if you.
Speaker A:And if you can't see yourself, well, then find a picture of you.
Speaker A:Or nowadays you can use AI to do it, right?
Speaker A:Take a picture of yourself and say, put.
Speaker A:Put this on a, you know, a fit young body, right?
Speaker A:I mean a fit healthy body.
Speaker A:Print it out, get it before you.
Speaker A:This is what the word of the Lord said to Joshua.
Speaker A:Set this word before your eyes, meditate in it, imagine it, speak it, study it, utter it, roar it, imagine it day and night, and it will make your way prosperous.
Speaker A:You know, the battle, brothers and sisters, is through your mind.
Speaker A:It's for your thought life.
Speaker A:Healing doesn't stop start in the flesh.
Speaker A:It starts in your thinking, right in the way that we see ourselves.
Speaker A:And Proverbs 4, verse 22 says, for they are alive to those who find them and health for all their flesh.
Speaker A:You know, God's word becomes literally a medicine every time you read the scripture and you see Jesus healing somebody.
Speaker A:And you know that Jesus is no respecter of persons.
Speaker A:He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Speaker A:Say, thank you, Lord, as you healed that woman with the issue of blood, so you've healed me.
Speaker A:Lord, I thank you.
Speaker B:Thank you.
Speaker A:Your healing power is like medicine.
Speaker A:Your word is like a medicine to my bones.
Speaker A:And it's healing every part of me.
Speaker A:Take your daily dose of medicine, your daily dose of the word of God, and let your imagination plant the seed of that word in your heart until you.
Speaker A:So that it starts to build a framework that will manifest in this, in the spirit, in the.
Speaker A:In the physical world.
Speaker A:Man, this is.
Speaker A:This is so important so we can change how we think instead of focusing on what's going on around us.
Speaker A:Maybe in our natural circumstances we can train ourselves to respond to pain with faith rather than fear.
Speaker A:This is important.
Speaker A:So next time you get an ache or a pain.
Speaker A:I had this the other day.
Speaker A:I was playing pickleball.
Speaker A:I like to exercise.
Speaker A:I was playing pickleball and I've been playing, you know, exercising quite a long time.
Speaker A:We've been playing for a couple of hours and.
Speaker A:And in my knee, I started to feel like a Bit of fatigue.
Speaker A:I started to feel like, oh, I think I probably twisted the wrong way and twisted my knee a bit and it started to hurt.
Speaker A:And right there I poked my bony little finger in the muscle there around my knee.
Speaker A:And I says, no pain.
Speaker A:You leave muscles.
Speaker A:You are strong, you are not twisted in Jesus name.
Speaker A:And took authority of that.
Speaker A:And I imagined it, everything in that knee coming back together.
Speaker A:And I went on and carried playing, you know what, when I exercised this morning, you know, none of that problem was there.
Speaker A:None of that problem was there.
Speaker A:I applied the word of God like a medicine.
Speaker A:Let's look at this in, in Colossians 3, verse 2.
Speaker A:And I'm going to read this in the Amplified classic, okay?
Speaker A:It says, set your mind and keep focused habitually on things above the heavenly things and not on things that are on the earth, which have only a temporary value.
Speaker A:The things in the earth are temporary.
Speaker A:For you died to this world and your new, your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
Speaker A:So this is talking about keep out.
Speaker A:Recognize that the things that you're going through in this life, as real as they may seem, they're temporary.
Speaker A:Whereas the things that God has spoken, spoken to you through His Word and placed on the inside of you are eternal.
Speaker A:And so those eternal things take more priority, more precedent, have more power over things that are temporary.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:If, if we, you know, sometimes we, we hire temporary workers.
Speaker A:People that come in and they just work for, you know, maybe, maybe a season or maybe for, you know, a few hours or they're not there all the time, they're not permanent staff.
Speaker A:They don't have the same measure of authority as somebody that has a, that has a permanent contract that is a permanent member of the team, right?
Speaker A:So we need to start seeing things that are going on in our body.
Speaker A:When that, when that doctor's report comes back, when that pain, when that symptom comes back, we say, hang on a minute.
Speaker A:You're not the most important thing that's going on in this body.
Speaker A:You are temporary.
Speaker A:You are subject to change.
Speaker A:Pain.
Speaker A:Right now.
Speaker A:Pain, I command you to leave.
Speaker A:I doubt you doubts.
Speaker A:I doubt you fear.
Speaker A:I doubt you.
Speaker A:Anxiety.
Speaker B:I doubt.
Speaker A:I doubt you depression.
Speaker A:Every time that thought comes to you, every time that symptom comes to you.
Speaker A:No, you're not the most important thing to me.
Speaker A:My body.
Speaker A:I'm submitting my body to the word of God.
Speaker A:And the word of God takes more precedent over my body than any symptom that's trying to appear or trying to stay man.
Speaker A:We can use our imagination and understand that by setting our mind on things above those things of above, that the truth of God's word becomes more real to us.
Speaker A:And you know, this doesn't happen overnight, brothers and sisters.
Speaker A:This is training your brain.
Speaker A:Training your brain to think upon the.
Speaker A:To think like according to the word of God rather than according to the Word.
Speaker A:Now, I could give you lots of examples here, and we don't have time to get into all of this, but you know, your imagination, some of us, our imagination has been so used to being used in a negative sense that we're going to have to flip a switch a little bit and be intentional about using our imagination in a positive sense.
Speaker A:So whether you like it or not, your imagination is always going to be used for one or the other.
Speaker A:And we do get to choose.
Speaker A:But if we're not intentional about the things that we think on and the things that we meditate on and the things that we allow to stay.
Speaker A:Stay in our airspace and even land on our.
Speaker A:In our.
Speaker A:In the airstrip of our heart, if we're not intentional about things, if we're just passive, if we just let things come in and go out and we listen to everyone's nonsense opinions, then we're going to struggle in some areas and it will show up in our physical body.
Speaker A:So, so look at this.
Speaker A:I'm gonna.
Speaker A:I'm gonna read this scripture to you and then I'm gonna get into.
Speaker A:To praying for you, okay?
Speaker A:But in 2nd Corinthians 5:17, it says, Therefore, if anyone, anyone at all in is in Christ.
Speaker A:He is a new creation.
Speaker A:Old things have passed away.
Speaker A:Behold.
Speaker B:Look.
Speaker A:Behold.
Speaker A:And that word behold means to look and see.
Speaker A:All things have become new.
Speaker A:You became the minute that you got born again.
Speaker A:You became a new creature in Christ.
Speaker A:A new creature in Christ.
Speaker A:But we need to look and see.
Speaker A:Oh, I'm a new creature in Christ.
Speaker A:I'm brand new on the inside body.
Speaker A:Did you know that?
Speaker A:And flesh.
Speaker A:Did you know that mine?
Speaker A:Did you know that you became a new creature.
Speaker A:Let's start to look.
Speaker A:Let's start to see what God has done on the inside of us.
Speaker A:He made us brand new.
Speaker A:And that brand new part of us.
Speaker A:You know what doesn't involve sickness?
Speaker A:It doesn't involve disease.
Speaker A:That's the old me.
Speaker A:Sickness and disease belong to the old me.
Speaker A:That's not who Carly is.
Speaker A:The old Carly was sick and diseased and depressed and afraid and demonized.
Speaker A:But the new Carly, the new Carly is walking in newness of life.
Speaker A:She's a new creation she's the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:She has a hope and a future.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:We can, we.
Speaker A:You need to say these things about yourself because otherwise we get trapped in that cycle of negative thinking.
Speaker A:And brothers and sisters, one thing I've learned is misery loves company.
Speaker A:Misery loves company.
Speaker A:We have to be considered.
Speaker A:We have to consider the environment we're in, who we're hanging around with and who we're listening to.
Speaker A:If you're struggling with the meditation of your heart and the imagination of your soul, then you know, consider the source where that you know what influences we're listening to and ask the Holy Spirit to identify.
Speaker A:Lord, you know, Holy Spirit, help me, help me identify negative imaginations.
Speaker A:Maybe some strongholds, maybe some lies that I've believed, some imaginations that I need to cast down and bring them into obedience to the word of God.
Speaker A:The Holy Spirit is there.
Speaker A:He's your helper.
Speaker A:You know, one of his name is Helper.
Speaker A:He's there to guide you, to lead you into all truth, to reveal to you hidden mysteries.
Speaker A:Super powerful.
Speaker A:One of the tools that really helps you overcome in this area.
Speaker A:If I tell you what if every time you had, you had a negative imagination or every time you, you had a symptom in your body that was just persistent and you just prayed in tongues, Thank you, Jesus, you start praying in tongues.
Speaker A:I'm telling you it is impossible for you to be in fear and pray in tongues at the same time.
Speaker A:It just, it lights up different parts of your brain.
Speaker A:You just, you just can't use.
Speaker A:You just can't do it.
Speaker A:You have to switch over.
Speaker A:You have to switch up, right?
Speaker A:So this is, this is really important.
Speaker A:Let's, let's read this scripture here about the meditation of your heart.
Speaker A:Really, really.
Speaker A:This is what this is talking about.
Speaker A:This is in Hebrews 11, verse 16, 15 and 16, it says.
Speaker A:And certainly this is talking about Abraham.
Speaker A:If they had been thinking of the country out of which they had come, they might have had the opportunity to return to it.
Speaker A:But they desired a better country, that is a heavenly one.
Speaker A:Therefore God, who is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Speaker A:And what is this is saying?
Speaker A:You know, Abraham and Sarah, they had to journey, right?
Speaker A:But it said if they had imagined, if they had been mindful, a place where they had come from, they would have had opportunity to return to it.
Speaker A:We renew our minds through the meditation of our heart to the Word of God.
Speaker A:But there will always be opportunities.
Speaker A:Temptations to return to sickness, temptations to return to a Sick way of thinking.
Speaker A:Temptations to start imagining the worst.
Speaker A:There will always be opportunities.
Speaker A:Airplanes that come into your airspace, they want to drag you back into that old way of thinking.
Speaker A:But that's when we say no.
Speaker A:Hang on, hang on a minute.
Speaker A:I know where you're trying to take me.
Speaker A:I do not give you permission to land.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:A.
Speaker A:Permission.
Speaker A:Access denied.
Speaker A:Access denied.
Speaker A:You do not have permission to come into my airspace.
Speaker A:You can turn around and leave.
Speaker A:You can turn around and leave right now.
Speaker A:And then we replace that negative thought with something positive.
Speaker A:I thank you Lord, that you you've blessed me with a long life and an expected end.
Speaker A:That you sent your word and healed me.
Speaker A:That you renewed my strength like the eagles.
Speaker A:That you caused me to to run against a troop or leap over wall.
Speaker A:That my youth is being renewed right day by day.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, that I'm going from glory to glory.
Speaker A:That I'm going from strength to strength.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me and who quickens, who raised Christ from the dead.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, that your power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead is the same power that will quicken my mortal body, that will lift my life up from the grave.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, that I shall live and not die and declare the goodness of God in the land of the living.
Speaker B:Thank you Lord.
Speaker A:That I'm above and not beneath.
Speaker B:Thank you Lord.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, that you strengthen, that I can have courage and that you are strong.
Speaker A:Waiting on you.
Speaker A:And you're strengthening my heart, man.
Speaker A:You know, if you've got a heart problem, guess what the Lord says.
Speaker A:I will strengthen your heart.
Speaker A:Have courage.
Speaker A:I will strengthen the Lord.
Speaker A:He will strengthen your heart.
Speaker A:Man, you use the word of God to rebuke the negative mindsets and imaginations of the enemy.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:And then get into praise and get into thanksgiving.
Speaker A:You know, it's really hard to be depressed when you realize how much.
Speaker A:How blessed you are and, and this isn't.
Speaker A:You know, brothers and sisters, I'm trying to say this with all compassion here because a lot of people be there, there.
Speaker A:Let me just pray a quick prayer over you and, and, and that's all there is.
Speaker A:But listen, if we don't change our mindset, it's not going to help you.
Speaker A:I'm going to pray for you right now.
Speaker A:I'm going to be praying for you.
Speaker A:But if you don't change the way that you're thinking, all of those symptoms will come back again.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:I've seen this happen too many times.
Speaker A:People have been miraculously healed in, in meetings that I've been a part of.
Speaker A:And I've prayed for people.
Speaker A:I prayed and I probably told you this story before, but I prayed for a lady one time, she was in a wheelchair, crippled with arthritis.
Speaker A:Every single part of her body was seized.
Speaker A:You know, we prayed for her.
Speaker A:All the arthritis left, all the, all of the, the limbs loosened up.
Speaker A:She took off running, pushing that wheelchair in the room.
Speaker A:But you know, after the end of the meeting, her husband comes with a wheelchair, says, come on dear, get back on the wheelchair, it's time to go.
Speaker A:And she's just like a little subservient, obedient wife, went and jumped in that wheelchair because she always had, she hadn't changed her mindset.
Speaker A:And that part of my heart just sunk because I knew what was going to happen.
Speaker A:And sure enough, the next day, she came back to the meeting.
Speaker A:All, every one of those symptoms was in her body.
Speaker A:Brothers and sisters, it's not hard to get healed.
Speaker A:I'm going to speak the word of God and it's going to go into you and it's going to have an effect.
Speaker A:But if you don't change your mindset and the imagination of your heart, you are opening up yourself for every single one of those symptoms to flood back in again.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:You know, if we want to be, if we want to be transformed by the word of God, that only comes by the renewing of your mind to the Word of God.
Speaker A:If you want to see word of God results, stay in your body, then you have to renew your mind of your mind to what the word of God says.
Speaker A:There's no shortcut to that.
Speaker A:And that means yes.
Speaker A:Taking captive every thought.
Speaker A:Taking captive every thought.
Speaker A:Declaring new things over your body, declaring, telling your body, you know what, you may not have been able to eat such and such and such a food before now, but right now, body, you're going to accept it.
Speaker A:You're going to accept it.
Speaker A:And I'm not going to stand for those symptoms in my body anymore right now.
Speaker A:Immune system, you're going to get into line.
Speaker A:You stop being the boss.
Speaker A:You start taking charge.
Speaker A:God put the power on the inside of you to overcome dead.
Speaker A:Raising power on the inside of you.
Speaker A:This is good news.
Speaker A:And you know the best news is we're not waiting on God to do something.
Speaker A:He's already made up his mind.
Speaker A:We haven't got, convinced him into healing us.
Speaker A:He's already sent his word in the person of Jesus and paid the price for you to be well.
Speaker A:He's already sent healing into, into your word of God.
Speaker A:And when we, when we read it, it's going to come into our bodies, right?
Speaker A:He's already sent his word and healed you.
Speaker A:We haven't got to, we haven't got to fight, you know, and, and present our case and hope that the Lord, you know, judges and, and looks upon us with favor.
Speaker A:No, he's already.
Speaker A:The judgment's already been made.
Speaker A:You, you're the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:But you know, our mindset, if we don't renew it to that fact, we're going to start walking around like the sick of the earth.
Speaker A:Instead of being the healed of the Lord, we're going to be the sick of the earth.
Speaker A:I don't want to be the sick of the earth.
Speaker A:I want to be the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:So when those symptoms come, when those imaginations come, when that, when those terrible reports come.
Speaker A:No, I'm the healed of the Lord, not the sick of the earth.
Speaker A:Someone need to put that in the comments.
Speaker A:I am the healed of the load.
Speaker A:I'm the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:And every time your body has an ache or a pain or something doesn't like.
Speaker A:Shut up, flesh.
Speaker A:I'm the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:Put it in the comments.
Speaker A:Put it in the comments.
Speaker A:You know, Shelly, I understand that she says I haven't.
Speaker A:I've been so down, I haven't even been able to formalize thoughts.
Speaker A:Listen, we understand that this becomes a problem and this.
Speaker A:So we put together a series.
Speaker A:We call them our confession cards.
Speaker B:These.
Speaker A:This one's on identity.
Speaker A:I don't mean to see that, but every one of those is scriptures.
Speaker A:We have one healing as well.
Speaker A:And on prosperity, we have one on hope and imagination.
Speaker A:I wish I had that one.
Speaker A:We have one actually, a hope card.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That would be really good.
Speaker A:If you need help in the realm of your imagination, let me do this.
Speaker A:I'm going to do this for free, team.
Speaker A:I don't even know how we're going to do this, but we have a card like this.
Speaker A:Specifically it geared towards imagination.
Speaker B:Hope.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:It's a confession card on hope.
Speaker A:And so I want to be able to give that confession card to everyone that needs it.
Speaker A:So I know we have a digital version.
Speaker A:And team, if you can make that available to people, I want them to be able to have that for free.
Speaker A:They're probably jumping through the hoops now because they didn't know I was going to do this.
Speaker A:I'm the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:There you go.
Speaker A:You're the healed of the Lord.
Speaker A:But if you'd like our hope confession card, if the team could put a link up there or they have some way where you can make it happen digitally right now, then, then do that in the comments.
Speaker A:But if not, then I'm gonna have you.
Speaker A:You can contact our ministry and say, carly said on her live stream that I can have a Hope confession card for free.
Speaker A:Yes, absolutely you can.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Absolutely you can.
Speaker A:You just contact our minister, say, carly said, that's the magic phrase.
Speaker A:Carly said I can have it for free now.
Speaker B:Not.
Speaker A:Kylie didn't say you can have everything for free.
Speaker A:Carly said you can have the hope confession card for free.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:And our team will figure out how that.
Speaker A:I don't even.
Speaker A:I don't even know.
Speaker A:They do the technical thing.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:But this is really important.
Speaker A:I want you to be able to have this tool so that you know, when you can't formalize those.
Speaker A:Those thoughts that it's.
Speaker A:All of those scriptures are right there for you.
Speaker A:You don't have to formalize the thoughts.
Speaker A:You have to read the word of God and say, I believe that that's who I am.
Speaker A:I mean, that's a tool that makes it easy for you.
Speaker B:And these.
Speaker A:These scriptures became the gospel.
Speaker A:Like the medicine, right?
Speaker A:The medicine.
Speaker A:Take it three times a day.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:That's right.
Speaker A:The devil's supposed to eat the dust, not us.
Speaker A:I like that.
Speaker A:Say so when the symptoms come, you say, eat.
Speaker A:Eat my dust, devil.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:I like that.
Speaker A:Well, Father God, I thank you that you sent your word and you healed us.
Speaker A:And right now, Jesus, we take your word like a medicine.
Speaker A:We say it's good for all of our flesh.

Speaker A:Like she couldn't hear a thing out of her ear at all.
Speaker A:And the Lord gave me this picture.
Speaker A:He says, imagine like you're standing on a garden hose.
Speaker A:And when you stand on that garden hose, that pipe goes flat.
