IMAGINATIONS

maginations can change the world, your

Iworld. In fact, the world and history have

already experienced change through

someone’s imagination. From the car you

drive to the home you live in to the clothes

you wear, all have experienced the fruit of the

creative power of imagination.

Did you know the Holy Spirit uses your

imagination to prophesy your future? Jesus

taught:

All things are possible to him that

believeth. (Mark 9:23)

Can you imagine that? Can you see

5

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

yourself walking out the promises of God for

your life? Can you see yourself living in

victory? Making a difference with your life?

God created you with a unique ability to

see prophetic possibilities. We call that seeing

capacity imagination. Imaginations create

images of your future, of possibilities and of a

better tomorrow. They can be prophetic,

direct and give hope. To understand prophetic

imagination is to understand God's design for

His sons and daughters.

God created you a Spirit-led believer, not

just a spirit-born believer. Throughout this

book you have learned how to cast down vain

thoughts and imaginations that war against

your mind. Let’s conclude now with some

positive attributes of imagination taken from

my book “Imaginations: Dare to win the battle

against your mind.”

As you harness the power of prophetic

6

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

imagination you can enter the realm of "all

things possible” and change your life.

Prophetic visionaries see life differently. As a

believer you have the mind of Christ and the

ability to control your imaginations and to

direct them in a positive way. You do that by

writing the vision and making it plain so you

can set goals for attainment. As a born-again

believer you have power over the

imaginations in your heart.

Imaginations can change the world, your

world. In fact, the world and history have

already experienced change through

someone's imagination. From the car you

drive to the home you live in to the clothes

you wear, all have experienced the fruit of the

creative power of imagination. As said already,

Scripture declares that you are "fearfully and

wonderfully made” (Psalms 139:14). God

created you with prophetic imagination, the

7

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

divine ability to see the unseen.

FINDING GENIUS

Every great achievement starts within the

imagination of man. Jesus said, "All things are

possible to him that believeth.” What would it

be like if you could experience that truth?

What would you do with your life? Did you

know that everything starts with a thought,

dream, vision, imagination, or image of

something hoped for? Every improvement in

the world, for example, was the result of

someone imagining something better.

God designed you with the power of

prophetic imagination to use as a method for

great achievement. Prophets like Samuel, Gad

and Asaph were seers in the Bible. In a sense,

imagination makes us all seers. Through

imagination ideas are formed, songs

composed, and inventions conceived. By

8

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

imagination thoughts of “what if” are

pondered? Prophetic imagination inspires one

to act, to try something different or to dream

of better things. Dr. Lester Sumrall in his book

"Imagination” said, "In the birth of human

imagination we witness the genius of the

Almighty.”

After the fall man did not lose his

ability to use imagination. The

imagination, however, became

corrupted.

After the fall of Adam and Eve, as learned

earlier in this essay, sin entered the

imagination. Instead of images of all good

things possible, unremunerative imaginations

entered the earth. The first murder was the

result of Cain's evil imagination that fueled

jealousy, anger and rage. Afterward, man’s

imagination was used for destruction, carnal

9

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

lust, and rebellion against God. It’s a

fundamental truth we have made clear

throughout this material. Scripture says:

God saw that the wickedness of man

was great in the earth and that every

imagination of the thoughts of his heart

was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5)

God missed nothing. He saw the power of

man’s imagination for both good and evil.

And the Lord said, Behold, the people

is one and they have all one language and

this they begin to do and now nothing will

be restrained from them which they have

imagined to do. (Genesis 11:6)

From this verse we learn the power of

human achievement through imagination

remained.

WITHOUT LIMITS

10

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

Prophetic imagination has no boundaries

and is never hindered by a lack of education.

With it you can enter the past and the future.

What a wonderful tool to manifest the

Kingdom of God in your life. After the fall

man did not lose his ability to use imagination.

The imagination, however, became corrupted.

It could now see both good and evil. The good

news is you can cast down vain imaginations

and redirect your imagination to think, create

and bring forth God’s purpose for your life.

All creativity and innovation comes

through prophetic imagination. Think about

this. All things visible were created first in the

realm of the unseen, the prophetic

imagination. God created you with the ability

to dream and to do great things. He continues

to have high expectations. He expects you to

multiply, produce, increase, subdue and take

dominion of this world (Genesis 1:27).

11

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

Imagine that.

As a born-again believer you are part of a

royal priesthood, a priesthood of kings. Have

you ever heard it said that Jesus is the King of

kings and the Lord of lords? Who are these

kings and rulers? The answer is you and I,

born-again believers. God created you with

the ability to change the world starting with

your world. Nothing can stand in your way.

Believe today and use your prophetic

imagination to change your circumstances and

order your life for Christ in a brand new way.

PROPHETIC IMAGINATION

The power of prophetic imagination is

part of your human design. You were created

with the ability to be led by the Spirit of God

in your inner man and created with the

capacity to see all things possible within your

redeemed imagination. Creation and the

12

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

ability to bring forth is part of the nature of

God who created all things from an image He

saw and brought into being. God created you

spirit, soul and body. Scripture declares,

I pray God your whole spirit and soul

and body be preserved blameless unto the

coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1

Thessalonians 5:23)

Before you can unlock prophetic

imaginations within, you need to understand

your spirit design. As a born-again believer

you are a spirit, you have a soul and you live

in a body. Your body is not you. Your body is

only the house your spirit lives in. Before you

were born again your spirit man was separated

from the life of God; it was dead in trespasses

and sin (Ephesians 2:1). But when you

repented of your sins and asked Jesus to come

into your heart your spirit man came alive.

Like I said in the opening chapter of this

13

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

book, you became a “new creature in Christ

Jesus, old things are passed away behold all

things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Now you have the ability to see God’s Word

working in your life. You can now image “all

things possible to him that believeth.” That’s

the power of prophetic imagination.

DIAMONDS WITHIN

Scripture declares:

A good man out of the good treasure

of the heart bringeth forth good things

and an evil man out of the evil treasure

bringeth forth evil things. (Matthew

12:35).

The Greek word for treasure is thesaurus.

Twenty years ago the word thesaurus would

not have impacted me as it does today. As a

writer I often use a thesaurus to help me.

14

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

Writers use a thesaurus as a tool to aid them to

be more concise and descriptive. A thesaurus

is an index, a storehouse and a place for word

processing. Used appropriately, it enables the

skilled wordsmith to paint a full picture

through the proper use of words. Jesus said

that a good man has a good thesaurus, or

treasure. Your treasure is the repository of

truth in your born-again spirit. It is the

dwelling place of "all things possible,” the

prophetic imagination. It is the storehouse of

your dreams, imaginations and the blueprint

of your future.

A good man’s treasure has tremendous

value. Jesus said:

The Kingdom of heaven is like unto

treasure hid in a field, the which when a

man hath found he hideth and for joy

thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath

and buyeth that field. (Matthew 13:44)

15

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

Jesus taught His disciples the value of the

Kingdom of God. As born-again believers we

have access to the Kingdom of God through

our born again spirits. The Kingdom of God is

not a place "out there” somewhere on the

other side of the planet Pluto. The Kingdom of

heaven for the Christian is all around him or

her in another realm Jesus called the

Kingdom.

Jesus also said the "Kingdom of God is

within you” (Luke 17:21). Today, many call

the Kingdom of God the realm of the Spirit. In

that Kingdom realm there is abundance,

peace, and fullness of joy. Again, Jesus said,

"The good man out of the good treasure

(thesaurus) of the heart bringeth forth good

things.” Notice that treasure and heart live in

the same location. Where you find one you

always find the other.

Your treasure is the birthplace of dreams,

16

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

imaginations, and all things hoped for. It is the

repository of all the elements that make up

your future. From the treasure of the heart a

good man will bring forth good things.

Imagine the possibilities of all things possible

to him that believeth.

YOUR VIRTUAL WORLD

Through prophetic imagination you can

design your own virtual world. Gustav Klimt

was a famous Austrian Art Nouveau painter.

His painting “Portrait of a Lady in Red” sold at

Christies auction house for $4 million dollars

in 2001. He said, “Anyone who wants to know

something about me ought to look carefully at

my pictures.”

God could surely say the same, “Anyone

who wants to know more about me should

look at my pictures.” His grandeur is seen

from mountaintop to mountaintop and from

17

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

shining sea to shining sea.

Use the prophetic imagination that

god gave you and frame your world

out of unseen possibilities.

What about you? What pictures are you

painting in your life? Many are dreaming

about one life while living another. If you are

unhappy with your life there is a way to

change your circumstances. I want to

encourage you to dream again and envision

yourself achieving something great. You can

master plan your life by imagining something

new and fresh, then setting sensible goals for

attainment. I can’t stress this enough,

imagination without specific goals for

achievement is vain fantasy. Go ahead, dream

again.

Scripture declares:

18

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

If God be for us, who can be against

us? (Romans 8:31)

Be specific and biblical with goal-setting

by writing your prophetic imagination down,

making it plain so you can run toward your

destiny.

Prophetic imaginations create theories,

what if's, innovations and views of

possibilities. They help you come up with new

ways to solve problems and succeed in life and

ministry. Prophetic imaginations create your

own virtual world of ideas. In that world you

can simulate your environment, try new

things and envision something better.

Virtual worlds are used in classrooms

around the world to educate. They simulate

possibilities while encouraging student

participation. The ever-explosive computer

games, for example, take children into a place

where they can save the world from invading

19

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

aliens. In 1982 Steven Lisberger introduced a

virtual world in the movie "Tron,” a world

where a video game designer is abducted by a

computer. Lisberger got his inspiration for the

movie after seeing video games for the first

time. The movie’s tag line was, “A world

inside the computer where man has never

been. Never before now.” Just like Lisberger

designed the virtual world of “Tron,” you too

can design your virtual world. Use the

prophetic imagination that God gave you and

frame your world out of unseen possibilities.

BETWEEN IMAGINATION AND REALITY

In 1959 Rod Serling introduced the

American television audience to serious

science fiction. The narrative for his new

television series was:

There is a fifth dimension beyond that

which is known to man. It is a dimension

20

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

It is the middle ground between light and

shadow, between science and superstition,

and it lies between the pit of man’s fears

and the summit of his knowledge. This is

the dimension of imagination. It is an area

we call the “Twilight Zone.”

That place Serling described was “the

place between imagination and reality.” The

show was a major hit and contained 156

programs in the original series. Obviously it

unlocked possibilities to millions of viewers.

How many engineers and scientists began to

see the possibility of a better world? Serling

introduced the realm of imagination as a

powerful creative force.

ACTION EXERCISE

Prophetic imagination provides unlimited

possibilities to you. It is the igniter of

21

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

tremendous ideas that can be built on,

expanded and brought into fruition. Whatever

you can believe, you can receive. Jesus said:

What things soever ye desire, when

ye pray, believe that ye receive them and

ye shall have them. (Mark 11:24)

If necessity is the mother of invention,

then imagination is the father. There are new

inventions waiting for someone to vista and

unknown worlds to be conquered by those

who dare to dream. The world is waiting for

you to unlock the creative ability of your

imagination.

With proper use, imagination causes you

to transcend limitation and empowers you to

change your realities. Get into agreement with

the Holy Spirit. Christ said all things were

possible to him that believeth, so use your

faith and unlock your ability to see. Scripture

declares:

22

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

Through faith we understand that the

worlds were framed by the word of God,

so that things which are seen were not

made of things which do appear. (Hebrews

11:3)

If God can frame the world with things

unseen, then you too can frame your world.

This has been an awesome journey

together. I hope that you have had as much

fun as me. You have discovered that

imagination is your seeing gift, learned how to

cast down whispers, examined Satan’s best

warfare strategy, stopped invisible opponents

and finally have explored the place where

dreams live. I think you’re now ready to make

a difference with your life. Go ahead. Enter

your virtual world with confidence and use

your imagination to “see all things as possible

to him that believeth.” Dare to dream.

23

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

MEDITATION AND REFLECTION

God created you with a unique ability to

see prophetic possibilities. We call that seeing

capacity imagination.

God created you a Spirit-led believer, not

just a spirit-born believer.

Prophetic imagination inspires one to act,

to try something different or to dream of

better things.

After the fall man did not lose his ability

to use imagination, the imagination, however,

became corrupted. It could now see both good

and evil.

Prophetic imaginations create theories,

what ifs, innovations and views of

possibilities. They help us come up with new

ways to solve problems and succeed in life and

ministry.

24

Unlocking Prophetic Imaginations

Prophetic imaginations create your own

virtual world of ideas. In that world you can

simulate your environment, try new things

and envision something better.

Your treasure is the repository of truth in

your born-again spirit. It is the dwelling place

of “all things possible," the prophetic

imagination. It is the storehouse of your

dreams, imaginations and the blueprint of

your future.

With proper use, imagination causes you

to transcend limitation and empowers you to

change your realities.

Get into agreement with the Holy Spirit.

Christ said all things were possible to him that

believeth, so use your faith and unlock your

ability to see.
