SEEING WHAT

1

OTHERS CAN’T

our enemy is a crafty foe. He uses

Ygossip to train you in releasing and

entertaining

offense.

Enigmatic

imaginations can lead to shadowed thinking

and unsure living. Scripture says,

I pray that the eyes of your

understanding be enlightened that you

may know what is the hope of his

calling and what the riches of the glory

of his inheritance in the saints.

(Ephesians 1:18)

The eyes referred to in this scripture are

your spiritual eyes. With spiritual eyes you

5

receive understanding because God

enlightens you by His Spirit. God desires

that you might know the truth and not

wonder what the truth is.

Vain imaginations, however, can dapple

the truth of Christ but the Holy Spirit wants

you to know "the hope of His calling” and

"the riches of His glory in the inheritance of

the saints.”

Vain imaginations try to jail you in

insecurity, fear and wondering. Learn how

to battle against them by asking the Holy

Spirit to lead and guide you into truth.

I went to a doctor with a friend once

and the physician told him in no uncertain

terms, “You’re going to die.” A report like

that can release many fearful thoughts at

you. I encouraged, “No, you’re not going to

die” because God's Word says,

6

With long life will I satisfy him and

show him my salvation. (Psalm 91:16)

See, you have to hit fearful imaginations

with overwhelming scriptural force. This

doctor was well trained in his profession,

terrible in bed-side manner, and, like blind

people, could not see.

Fact Versus Truth

We must attack facts with truth.

Sometimes facts and truth conflict with each

other. The fact might be that you are sick,

but the truth is that “by His stripes you

were healed” (1 Peter 2:24). The fact might

be that you can't pay your rent, but the

truth is,

My God shall provide all of my

needs according to His riches in glory

by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19).

7

If you don't like something someone's

said or has done, then pray for them,

but don't talk spitefully about them.

We can't afford to harm God's

children with our tongues.

Learn to use the spiritual weapons of the

Word of God in your life and fight

imaginations with the Word of God that

worketh mightily within you. If the devil

says that, “You’ll never make it,” use the

Word against him and declare,

I can do all things through Christ

who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

Your enemy is a crafty foe. He uses

gossip to train you in releasing and

entertaining offense. Gossip and demeaning

imaginations journey together. Where you

find one you often find the other.

Vexing imaginations can cause you to

8

attack others by empowering you to gossip. I

have experienced people entertaining

imaginations that use the telephone to pass

them on. Gossip is a sin. It is destructive and

should not be engaged. Like witchcraft it is a

work of the flesh. If you don’t like

something someone’s said or has done, then

pray for them, but don’t talk spitefully about

them. We can’t afford to harm God’s

children with our tongues.

The Gift of Imagination

Again, imagination is a gift. You should

spend it wisely. So if you find yourself

gossiping stop. When others are gabbing to

you remember that most gossip is not true

anyway and there is always two different

sides to every story. If they are chattering

about someone today, you are next on the

list tomorrow. Don’t let your tongue

9

contribute to the devil’s attack against

others.

Gossip transfers thoughts and

imaginations to others. Be careful what

words you take into your heart. Solomon’s

wisdom is beneficial,

Keep thy heart with all diligence;

for out of it are the issues of life. Put

away from thee a forward mouth and

perverse lips put far from thee.

(Proverbs 4:23-24)

Avoid the gossipmongers within your

church that attack leadership and

dismantle the unity of the

congregation and vision of the house.

I mention gossiping because the enemy

uses it to train you to contemplate corrupted

thoughts and pass them on to others.

American humorist Josh Billings gives some

10

sage advice,

The best time for you to hold your

tongue is the time your feel you must

say something or bust.

Even white painted churches with tall

steeples experience the spiritual warfare of

vain imaginations. Scripture says,

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark

them which cause divisions and offenses

contrary to the doctrine which you

have learned and avoid them. (Romans

16:17)

Imaginations spoken against a church

can keep leadership dealing with squabbles,

divisions and contentions all the time. They

keep them occupied with things that are not

true.

When imaginations attack it makes

people want to give up and quit. Those that

11

advance these imaginations serve their own

desires, agendas and,

by good words and fair speeches

deceive the heart of simple people.

(Romans 16:18)

Avoid the gossipmongers within your

church that attack leadership and dismantle

the unity of the congregation and vision of

the house. Eleanor Roosevelt said,

Great minds discuss ideas; average

minds discuss events; small minds

discuss people.

Confusion, despair and gossiping are

common weapons of the enemy. They can

come when others talk spitefully against you

or during times of discouragement and

rejection. How they come is not as

important as knowing how to battle against

them. Christ is not the author of confusion

12

but the finisher of your faith. He never

taught his disciples to battle with fleshly

weapons but spiritual ones. Jesus said,

I give unto you power to tread on

serpents and scorpions and over all the

power of the enemy and nothing shall

by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)

Use that authority today and attack

every power of darkness, confusion, despair

and offense that battles your soul.

Thoughts That Count

An evil imagination is a death wound

formed in the soul that has its roots in the

fallen corrupted nature of man. God created

your mind for thinking. Your mind is like a

critically thinking super computer designed

to draw on information for the purpose of

coming to a rightful determination. It will

continually search out bits of data from life

13

experience, prior knowledge, even

assumptions to extrapolate a conclusion.

To extrapolate means to use information

as the starting point to gain knowledge,

draw inferences and make decisions about

something unknown.

There are thoughts that suppose

something and are nothing more than

random bits of information without merit,

proof, witness, or substance. Thoughts like

that have no real value and are

unsystematic. The most dangerous thoughts,

however, are those that lead to a particular

belief.

The source of thoughts, your thoughts,

needs to be discerned. Are they real or

imagined? Good or bad, right or wrong?

Was Hamlet on to something when he

echoed Montaigne who said,

14

There is nothing either good or bad

but thinking makes it so?

An evil imagination is a death wound

formed in the soul that has its roots in

the fallen corrupted nature of man.

Can your thoughts make things so? Do

they deserve your attention? Should they be

reflected on and acted out?

Only the mature understand the wisdom

of parsed judgment until they can assemble

all the necessary facts and come to a rightful

conclusion. These champions of the

kingdom know how to think. Like precision

time pieces that carry the unfaltering sounds

of tick-tock they examine each systematic

movement of the big hand until finally

clarity forms within their minds. Then and

only then do they move the small hand

forward and enter the next hour.

15

Don’t Think Like That

How you think affects your life. The

Apostle Paul taught his students not to think

like flawed gentiles. The gentiles were

outside the covenant blessings of God until

salvation. Paul used them as an example. He

said that Christ’ disciples should not walk

like they do in the “vanity of their minds,”

in different words, banned imaginations.

"How does one walk in the vanity of

their minds,” you ask? By trying to live out

vain imaginations.

Paul said,

This I say therefore, and testify in

the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as

other gentiles walk, in the vanity of

their mind; Having the understanding

darkened, being alienated from the life

of God through the ignorance that is in

16

them because of the blindness of their

heart. (Ephesians 4:17-18)

Remember the meeting between the

fallacious serpent in the Garden of Eden and

Eve? As already said, she looked, she took,

she ate, and she gave to her husband and he

also partook. This Scripture teaches the

power of toying with deceptive words and

imaginations. Fallen mankind, walking out

the vanity within their minds, searches for

ways to fulfill sensual, fleshly, lustful

passions. And when they find them, those

passions pull on their carnal nature.

What’s In You?

Satan's activities are still the same today,

thousands of years later. He looks through

ancient eyes for something in you to work

with. Something small, perhaps a seed,

something hidden from the sunlight, or

17

something buried deep within. It could be

pride, rejection or lust. It could be

bitterness, unforgiveness, even the love of

money. Again, he has nothing to web except

what's already in you. Jesus said,

For the prince of this world cometh

and hath nothing in me. (John 14:30)

What about you? When that old dragon

draws near can he find anything in you to

anvil? To win the war against your mind

you must,

Keep your heart with all diligence

for out of it are the issues of life.

(Proverbs 4:23)

Carnal thoughts and pondered vain

imaginations give the enemy opportunity to

attack you. Peter also wrote about the

dangers of vain words, thoughts and

imaginations.

18

For when they speak great swelling

words of vanity, they allure through the

lusts of the flesh, through much

wantonness, those that were clean

escaped from them who live in error.

While they promise them liberty, they

themselves are the servants of

corruption: for of whom a man is

overcome of the same is he brought into

bondage. (2 Peter 2:18-19)

Your understanding can only be

darkened when you are carried away

by carnal thoughts and hollow

imaginations.

Did you get that? Carnal passion, stirred

by the lusts of the flesh and vanity within

the mind is designed to overtake you and

bring you to the timbered stocks. That's why

Paul said to avoid the vanity within the

mind. Vain thoughts are enticements toward

19

further carnality and conceiving sin. Like

walking in cold sunlight they pull on the old

man, that carnal nature that needs daily

crucifixion. Is he dead in your life?

An evil imagination is a death wound

formed in the soul that has its roots in the

fallen corrupted nature of man. It is a

different way of walking, outside your

design.

Like an addiction, vain imaginations can

grab you and pull at your soul beckoning the

reapers to come. Spoken greed, for example,

draws on the blackened sinful nature of

man. So, too, lust that pants for the

forbidden. Lust is fabricated first within the

imagination then onto the flesh looking for

its harvest. When pondered it’s like a

narcotic to the most addicted of junkies.

What did Peter mean “they are servants

of corruption?” Bondage! That’s right,

20

slavery trenched deep within their souls.

Those taken captive through cultivated

sinful imaginations become slaves fettered to

their own carnality. Paul’s warning “don’t

think like that” is significant. "How can one

be overcome by an imagination,” you query?

As mentioned before, by brooding evil

thoughts within the mind, imaging them

and acting them out. That’s what happened

to Eve. She considered what the serpent

said, she pondered the outcome, and she

partook of the forbidden thereby giving

birth to sin.

Futile imaginations obscure vision and

corrupt judgment. Scripture says,

Having the understanding

darkened, being alienated from the life

of God through the ignorance that is in

them, because of the blindness of their

heart. (Ephesians 4:18)

21

Meditate on the Word daily. It will

impart life, truth and grace for living

into your soul.

Your understanding can only be

darkened when you are carried away by

carnal thoughts and hollow imaginations.

You must avoid them at all cost because

they separate you from the good life of

Christ and blind spiritual understanding.

All of us must avoid carnal thoughts and

vain imaginations and cast them down as

they occur, even those that come from

others. As you become skillful at “casting

down every imagination and high thing that

exalts itself against the Word of God” you

will experience more peace and a greater

focus toward purpose within your life.

It seems we have come full circle once

again in our pursuit of winning the battles

22

against the mind. The bottom line is the

mind must be renewed. Some try to get the

Holy Spirit to grapple with their minds. The

problem with that is you must be involved

in the process by making every effort to

renew your mind yourself. Give the Holy

Spirit something to work with. Make the

effort by studying to "show yourself

approved." Epictetus said, “No great thing is

created suddenly.” So meditate on the Word

daily. It will impart life, truth and grace for

living into your soul.

Meditation and Reflection

If the enemy can destroy your hope he

can disarm your faith.

Witchcraft is a spiritual force that

battles against the spirit of your mind.

Witchcraft works best inside one’s

imagination.

23

Witchcraft is a work of the flesh because

people have the power to cast down orphic

imaginations or to entertain them and walk

them out.

Your enemy is a crafty foe. He uses

gossip to train you in releasing and

entertaining offense.

Let’s Pray

Father God, I come before you now for

strength to overcome corrupt imaginations

and thoughts. I repent for allowing them to

occupy my mind. Lord forgive me. . let the

blood of Jesus wash me as I turn away from

evil thoughts, gossip and the works of the

flesh. And now Lord, in Jesus’ Name, I take

my authority in you and cast down vain

imaginations. Lord Jesus, from this day

forward I take responsibility to meditate on

your Word and to renew my mind everyday

24

. . thank you Lord Jesus for the truth that

sets me free. Amen.
