Immersed pt5—Seeing Is Believing
Faith-Filled Imagination Activates the Blessing
[Gen 15:5 NASB95]
The delay, disappointment, and the demonic can hinder us from seeing and moving forward in faith. These things paint a picture of defeat and failure. The picture of doubt hinders our faith.
Since God first gave him the promise, Abraham saw famine (12:10), family issues (12:10-20), Lot taken captive and battle with enemies (14). Not to mention it was years with no baby!
Abraham learned to see in the dark in Genesis 15. It was likely in the darkness of the AM before the sun comes out and the stars are still visible. God through a vision, gives Abraham vision (stars of the sky = promise fulfilled.)
When Abraham focused on the picture of the stars, he does not become flawless, but he becomes faithful.
Abraham is our example of walking by faith. [Rom 4:16-21 NASB95]
Clinton Assembly family life center vision and reality. Many miracles started with what I was seeing. First, heard about the power of a faith-filled imagination from Andrew Wommack. Kenneth Hagin, How To Write Your Own Ticket With God, (say it, do it, receive it, tell it), never explained receive it. Dr. Cho, 4th Dimension, imagine a chair, desk, and bike.
How can we learn to see God’s promises that activates the blessing?
God’s interaction with Abraham in Gen. 15 shows us four important truths about seeing His Promises to activate the blessing.
Our faith-filled imagination activates the blessing because it is focused on His Word.
[Gen 15:1 NASB95]
The Word is active.
[Heb 4:12 NASB95]
[Isa 55:11 NASB95]
The Word is sight giving. The Bible creates a vision of what God wants for us now and not yet.
Keep the Word of God in your mind by reading, studying it, and memorizing it.
Our faith-filled imagination activated the blessing because it is focused on Him.
[Gen 15:1 NASB95]
Focusing on Him removes fear. Most often repeated command with the most often repeated promise.
Focusing on Him receives protection. He is our shield.
Focusing on Him connects us to a reward. [Heb 11:6 NASB95]
Keep focused on Him through prayer, worship, and mediation.
Our faith-filled imagination activates the blessing because it is not focused on other things.
[Gen 15:2-4 NASB95]
Focusing on other things creates questions about God.
Focusing on other things creates alternative ideas.
Focusing on other things keeps looking at the “how” instead of the “Who” and “what”.
The temptation to focus other things is real, yet by decision and the power of the Holy Spirit we are focusing on Him and what He has promised, leaving the “HOW” up to Him.
Our faith-filled imagination activates the blessing because it connects us to Jesus by faith.
[Gen 15:5-6 NASB95]
Seeing by eyes of faith helps us cross over the faith line.
Seeing by eyes of faith connects us to Jesus.
Learning to imagine God’s blessing taking place in your life, takes you to another level with God.
Allow the Word and His Presence to create a vision that you focus on until it manifests.
What are you seeing through eyes of faith happening in your life that God has promised you?
