YOUR GRACE AWAKENING Part 2

YOUR GRACE AWAKENING (Part 2 of 4)

Continued from YOUR GRACE AWAKENING Part 1

---

If you have not already done so, read Part 1 of this series.

Notice this… every single Scripture on this page MUST BE VISUALIZED IN your IMAGINATION before it can be understood and received in your heart. Hmmm...

Proverbs 23:26 "Give me your heart, my son, And let your eyes delight in my ways."

Did you know that your heart has eyes? YES, and your imagination does, too, because your heart and your imagination are one and the same. So, in prayer, ask God to open the EYES of your heart.

Ephesians 1:18 "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,"

From this point on, as you read each Scripture, see it in your heart as if it was happening right now. If you do, begin to notice how ALL the Scriptures come ALIVE and explode with meaning and significance IN YOUR HEART, which is your imagination. NOTICE ALL YOU CAN SEE, and IMAGINE ALL THAT YOU CAN'T!

Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil."

You are cleansed by the Blood of Jesus Christ. According to the Bible, you are continually and forever perpetually ALWAYS being cleansed, and this won't stop. EVER! Do you hear what I am saying? Can you SEE the significance of this TRUTH?

Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.

All men have been given a clear choice between the flesh and the spirit: self-righteousness or RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST. There is no doubt about this choice; it can't be avoided. For the BELIEVER, the choice has been made, is permanent, and can't be undone. The BELIEVER is cleansed FOREVER. Visualize it and receive it in your heart.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 "For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore ALL died; and He died for ALL, so that THEY WHO LIVE might no longer LIVE FOR THEMSELVES, but for HIM who died and rose again ON THEIR BEHALF."

For those choosing self-righteousness, the world is rigged against them. Every dream, vision, and desire will die for those who reject Christ; it's rigged against them. They can't win regardless of what they do.

2 Corinthians 5:16-17 "Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. "

Those choosing to be IN CHRIST receive Jesus' righteousness and EVERYTHING THAT INCLUDES. For the BELIEVERS, it is absolutely RIGGED in our favor, for we have the FAVOR of God. How could we not?

Hebrews 4:16 "Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

The point is ALL dreams, visions, and desires are birthed in our hearts. God GIVES THEM TO US in our hearts, where HE DWELLS. Remember, as BELIEVERS, we have been given the MIND OF CHRIST (His imagination and the intents of His heart), who is seated at the right hand of God.

Colossians 3:1 "Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God."

As such, BELIEVERS are IN the imagination of God HIMSELF as He shares HIS dreams, visions, and desires that we take on AS OUR OWN. After all, Jesus came to earth to reveal to us that God is our FATHER. Without being BORN OF GOD, without all things becoming new IN CHRIST, we would not have a heart or an imagination. THIS TRUTH IS SO HUGE! Do you see this truth, and if so, where do you see it from, your heart? Your imagination, which is ONE WITH GOD'S own imagination, His heart?

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 "Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation."

The Bible describes God the Father as LOVE and LIGHT, which are the same.

1 John 1:5 "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all."

In His light is His love for us. God's light was created first, well before He created man. However, God our Father created LIGHT for us so that He could love us.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God."

WE ARE THE ONLY REASON FOR THE LIGHT AND THE LOVE. Don't you KNOW that's why Jesus died on the cross, to TAKE ALL THE SINS OF THE WORLD ON HIMSELF so we would be CLEANSED FOREVER? Being cleansed means we are made righteous IN CHRIST by His Blood so that we can dwell in God's heart (His Imagination) FOREVER, and He in ours.

Daniel 9:13 "As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth."

God thought of everything on our behalf and then did everything on our behalf BEFORE HE CREATED US. We messed it up (Adam and Eve did). Consequently, we were removed from God's heart, which is His imagination, when we were removed from the Garden of Eden. The good news of the Gospel of Grace is that Jesus reconciled us BACK TO GOD through THE CROSS and HIS BLOOD. Jesus did a complete work. Have you received this truth in your heart?

Luke 7:22 "And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have the gospel preached to them."

Therefore, we ARE CLEANSED FOREVER. If you have not done so already, RECEIVE THIS TRUTH in Jesus' Name; this is YOUR GRACE AWAKENING.

Genesis 3:22-24 "Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life."

Jesus is the BREAD OF LIFE, and HE HAS come to commune with us FOREVER. Jesus is our LIFE, and He comes to feed us daily. THERE'S NO NEED TO BE HUNGRY.

Revelation 22:2 "in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

Yes, Jesus, in his earthly ministry, HEALED everyone. HE NEVER STOPPED. He is STILL HEALING everyone, and He came to FEED us, including our health. He IS OUR HEALTH. Do you see it? 

Revelation 2:7 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’ "

With Him, Jesus always brings bread, wine, and oil; to feed on HIS LIFE, to remember HIS BLOOD, and to receive anointing and power to live the forgiven life.

Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city."

SEE THE BATTLE OVER AND THE VICTORY YOURS

The battle over evil is over; Jesus defeated evil. And now, there is a choice. God has given each of us a choice, serve the light or the dark.

2 Peter 3:10 "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up."

Once we choose, we are responsible for the gates to our hearts, our ear gates, and our eye gates - the gates to our imagination.

Proverbs 4:23 "Watch over YOUR HEART with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life."

All prophecy is from our imagination. Jesus’ return is anticipated in our imaginations. Worry and anxiety is in the imagination, too, unfortunately. Joy originates from our imagination, so be filled.

John 15:11 "These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full."

Holy Spirit dwells with and communes permanently with our hearts to make our joy complete.

John 16:24 "Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full."

The Son can do nothing except what He sees His Father doing.

John 5:19 "Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He SEES the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner."

John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who ABIDES in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

John 5:30 “I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me."

THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, GOD OPENS EYES AND EARS

It’s uncanny how all engagement between God and His creation occurs in HIS Heart. God created our hearts, and He never misses a single thing, ever.

Psalms 123:2 "Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He is gracious to us."

2 Kings 6:20 "When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” So the Lord opened their eyes and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria."

Young men see visions, and old men dream dreams. Where do visions and dreams come from, our imaginations? Where do they play out in front of us, in our hearts?

Acts 2:17 "And it shall be in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams;"

Promises to a childless Abraham were given to him in his imagination, and it settled his heart.

Genesis 15:5 "And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”

God fills our hearts with Faith pictures. God changes our hearts before the promises manifest. God changed the childless Abram to Abraham, then the promised child came. He changed his vision and his imagination, and then the promise arrived.

Genesis 17:5 "No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations."

Every promise in the Bible resides in our hearts, and we think about them in our imaginations. Whenever the Bible talks about “walking with God” or “walking in the Spirit”, it refers to our imagination and our heart.

Genesis 3:8 "They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden."

Genesis 6:9 "These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God."

Genesis 5:24 "Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him."

Galatians 5:25 "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit."

THE LORD OF THE FLIES - SEE THE VISUAL

When someone commits suicide, they have imagined in their heart there’s no hope. They are heartbroken and no longer want to live. The pain is very real. They are convinced in their heart there is no other choice but to “end it all.” What a lie! TOTAL LIE! Nothing could be further from the truth. Obviously, the battleground is 1000% fought in the heart and imagination.

John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

All lies lead to every kind of death, and lies reside in our imagination if we let them. That’s their target, our heart. Disappointment and distress, and anxieties are trespassers found trespassing in our hearts.

Matthew 16:23 "But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”

Jesus came with a free gift of Grace that cleansed our conscience (our imagination) with His blood. This gift WAS before we were created.

All Mental illness, suffering, and oppression attack us in our hearts, our imaginations. Depression and anxieties are real “heart” illnesses, just like the Flu, only invisible. If we let them, these invisible attackers (lies) can bruise and injure our hearts, weigh down our imagination, and cause unlimited havoc and damage, much worse than the Flu, even by a single lie.
