You give birth to miracles, you conceive them.
Miracles are based on reality, not fantasy. Imagination is based on your ability to see something that is in your heart. It may not have physically manifested. In order to see it, you must conceive it. Fantasying is not the intended use of our imagination so we should not allow ourselves to pursue fantasies.
How does conception work? There must be a seed. The Word is the seed which must be planted in the heart so conception will occur. Your heart is as a womb and you must protect that seed until it fully develops and physically manifests. We must not abort the Seed by allowing the adversary to steal, kill, and destroy. Our imagination will suffer.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 6:
5 The LORD observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.
Men will be judged by not only their actions but their thoughts and imaginations as well. Thankfully, Jesus cleansed you and me of our imaginations of the past.
We must resist vain imaginations! Imaginations can result in a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you imagine, think, and speak scarcity then you will move toward scarcity. The reverse is true as well.
It is also true of the people who are close to you on a day to day basis. If you are constantly surrounded by negative people, you will tend towards negativity. You become like the company you keep.
Let us not limit FATHER by unwillingness to imagine or think less than what HE promised and committed HIMSELF to do on our behalf.
As Jesus expressed in Mark chapter 11:
22 Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! 23 Listen to the Truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done. 24 This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—believe that you have received it and it will be yours.
It is also written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 78:
41 Again and again they limited God, preventing HIM from blessing them. Continually they turned back from him and provoked the Holy One of Israel!
42 They forgot HIS great Love, how HE took them by HIS Hand, and with redemption’s kiss HE delivered them from their enemies.
43 They disregarded all the epic signs and marvels they saw when they escaped from Egypt’s bondage. They forgot the judgment of the plagues that set them free.
As you and I gain a greater revelation of FATHER’S unconditional Love, our imaginations will flourish and our limitations will cease. Nothing we imagine in righteousness and contained in HIS Word, whether written or spoken, will be withheld from us and we will establish HIS Kingdom on this earth.
God often asks us to do impossible things. He’s not setting us up for failure; He’s laying the groundwork for a life of radical faith. When we are aware of our inability, it causes us to depend on Him. He is the God of more than enough. He is the One who works through us to do what we cannot do on our own.
Jesus loves to turn inadequacy into abundance. Our obedience and willingness pave the way for miracles. When we’re aware of our insufficiency but choose to partner with the all-sufficient One, our faith becomes a magnet for miracles. When the Lord asks us to do something impossible, it isn’t to deter us. It’s so that when He comes through, we’ll know exactly who deserves the glory.
