i-maj-i-na’-shun (yetser, sheriruth; dianoia): "Imagination" is the translation of yetser, properly "a shaping," hence, "a thought" (Ge 6:5; 8:21; De 31:21; 1Ch 28:9; 29:18). In Isa 26:3 yetser is translated "mind" (King James Version margin "thought" or "imagination"), "whose mind is stayed on thee" (the Revised Version margin "or imagination"); in Ps 103:14 it is "frame"; of sheriruth, "obstinacy," "stubbornness" (De 29:19; Jer 3:17; 7:24; 9:14; 11:8; 13:10; 16:12; 18:12; 23:17); in Ps 81:12 the King James Version it is, "lust," margin "hardness or imaginations"; 3 times of machashebheth, "thought" or "purpose" in the King James Version (Pr 6:18; La 3:60,61); once of dianoia, "mind," "understanding" (Lu 1:51); of logismos, "reasoning" (2Co 10:5); and of dialogismos, "reasoning through" (Ro 1:21 the King James Version).
The Revised Version (British and American) gives "stubbornness" in each instance where sheriruth is in the King James Version translated "imagination"; in Pr 6:18 the American Standard Revised Version has "purposes"; the Revised Version (British and American) has "devices" (La 3:60,61) and "reasonings" (Ro 1:21), "imagination" for "conceit" (Pr 18:11), and (English Revised Version) for "device" (La 3:62).
"Imagination" is frequent in Apocrypha, e.g. Ecclesiasticus 22:18 (dianoema); 37:3 (enthumema, "wicked imagination"); 40:2 (dialogismos, the Revised Version (British and American) "expectation").

True Prophecy That Will Bless You
Just imagine if your house was not built on concrete, but rather sand. Things could become very unstable at any given time. A earthquake could occur, or a winter storm. There could be a flood, or even a mudslide. The results could be very bad. Just imagine all the potential possibilities for disaster if your house was built on sand. Now imagine your life being built on sand.
Here are the words of Jesus on the matter. Life changing words that are over 2,000 years old, yet eternal.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
They key is reading, knowing, understanding and holding onto the sayings of Jesus.

God Is Not The Author Of Confusion
Let's say that someone gives you a prophetic word that has to do with your life, calling and mission. How long should you wait on that prophetic word? How long should you wait on any prophetic word for that matter? Truth is a prophetic word could be a now word, a tomorrow word or a next season word. It could also be for 5, 10, or 20 years down the road. Ouch!
Even so, test the words that you receive. Make sure that they line up with the word of God and most importantly that the spirit is on those words. You see, the spirit will bear witness to a prophetic word. God will confirm it, and God will not leave you confused, for God is not the author of confusion.
Blessings in the Spirit Of Christ, which is prophecy

Church Or Cult
How does one conclude what is truly being spirit led or cult led? Are the manifestations truly of God or simply a form of being deceived into believing such? Is the spirit truly moving in these situations or nothing more than a well orchrastated side show? There are many that ask these very same questions. My advise is fruit! Look for the fruit, the fruit of the spirit. Of course a simple application of the word of God is a sure foundation to build from.

Taking Care Of Business
Just because something seems one way doesn't always mean that's the way it is. Yes, we can let things go and for a time it may appear as if it simply doesn't exist. Yet as time passes we find that it does exists.
Better to take care of unfinished business and keep the slate clean. Remember God's forgiveness is always available.

Visitations Of The Angelic Kind
Do you believe not in angels, but that angels exists?
I believe that they do exists. That God created them and that they are a part of God's Kingdom, plans and purposes here on earth and in the lives of humans.
If you have the time go to blueletterbible.com and perform a word study on angels. You will find mention of them from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelations. The study is fascinating and life changing.

The Commandments Of Men
Mat 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Mat 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Mat 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Mat 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Mat 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
Mat 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Mat 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Word Of The Hour, Day, Week or Month
Now the question is, how much money does that break down too?
God speaks freely when God desires to and that also means FREE without cost. Isa 55:1
$$$$$$$$ without cost!!!

Clothing From Heaven
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

He Who Is Seated On The Throne
Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Trumped Up False Accusations
God is a God of truth, not lies. Malicious premeditated lies are not a fruit of the Spirit. Yes, they accomplish what they are designed to accomplish at times. Yes they can be used to control others and situations. However, the end will prove to be the complete opposite.
"God's truth will prevail and he will uphold the slandered".
Now The Parable Is This
Luk 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luk 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
Luk 8:13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Luk 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Luk 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
