TOPIC: THE OUTPUT OF YOUR HEART 5: Negative Imagination
MEMORY VERSE:
Proverbs 4:23.
“23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
BIBLE READING:
2 Corinthians 10:3-5.
“3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
Happy New Last month of the year, the last month In the season of Ingathering Of Harvest. This month shall pay you off for all you’ve missed this year in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
I like to remind us that the battle against negative thought is a battle of the heart. This is the reason why we need to be vigilant and be at alert to know when the battle is on. Negative Imagination is another output of the heart that need to be faced. Negative Imagination against oneself and others. Imagining someone dead, loosing his/her job, thinking evil occurrence against people without fault. When you imagine that people will suffer the consequences of crimes they never committed, imagining people crying gives you joy, then the battle of the heart is prevailing over you. When you prefer injustice to justice, cheating and being denied ones right, your heart need to be checked. Not against others alone, it’s also affect you because you start thinking evil against yourself, unconsciously, so evil can be for others. When you think evil towards others in your favour, it’s negative Imagination. When your thinking tank is filled with destroying others, bringing people down, frustrating others, you are simply telling God, this is what I desire for myself, because, what a man/woman sow he/she shall reap.
Paul speaking to the Corinthians, said, we need to wrestle against these imaginations by casting them down, resisting them, replacing them with positive imagination. Untill you win at the battle field you never have any plunder to take home, except being plundered. It’s time to start defeating those imagination against others and yourself. It’s time to cast them down, time to work on your mind positively. Your spouse is not as bad as you imagine. Your boss is not that worst, it’s your imagination, and the more your imagination is evil towards them the more they become cruel against you. Change your imagination so your heart can be healed. Stop the thought when they start coming and replace them with what positive ones from now on.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
