Charting the Course part 3
LOOKING FORWARD
1/29/23
Part 1: Using His Word to chart our course
Part 2: The use of our words in charting our course
Your IMAGINATION is the God given ability to LOOK FORWARD
Gen 3:6 kjv And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Imagination is the picture part of your soul and it is where you SEE YOURSELF DOING before you DO it
Wrong thoughts come to everyone
But THOUGHTS are opportunities they are “SEEDS” you CAN take or you CAN reject
IMAGINATIONS are when we attach a PICTURE to our THOUGHT
This can be powerfully constructive or powerfully destructive
Matt 6:31 kjv Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
? HOW DO YOU REJECT A THOUGHT?
If you choose to TAKE THE SEED –you give it your will
Prov 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…
A taken thought begins to develop a picture in your mind
And more VIVID thoughts will strengthen that imagination
Until it is a STRONG IMAGINATION, a STRONG HOLD
2 Cor 10:3-KJV 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Amp 3 For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, 5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
TPT 3-4For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. 5We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. 6Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.
Stronghold: prison or a fortress
Isa 55:7-kjv 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

WHAT IF YOU KNEW your next step was ordered of the LORD? If you want to KNOW that your next step is ordered of the Lord, make sure that your next WORDS are ordered of the LORD. YOU CAN LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND KNOW WHERE YOU ARE HEADED Prov 18:20-kjv 20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. –John B “ love your words, if you love something you don’t abuse it Amp: 20 A man's self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil]. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. PS 119:105 Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path ^candle ^step ^illumination ^direction I’m headed Isa 30:21 nkjv Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left. Sometimes the decision to be made is really whether you are going to be obedient to what is already plainly charted in God’s Word. What you have not pre-determined and plainly charted…is at high risk. Tomorrow is coming. What’s the plan? Have you sent HIS Word into tomorrow? Job 22:28 Amp You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways. WHERE DOES GOD WANT THIS TO GO?

Ps 37:23-BBE The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.24 Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him. Prov 3:5-AMP Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. Your Word is a lamp to my feet & it is the light for my path. I will NOT walk in darkness or fear of the unknown when all is known by You. My steps are ordered by You & even if I did fall, you would be there to help me. So I lean on, trust in & I am confident in you, I will not rely on my own insight or my own understanding but I know, recognize and acknowledge You & You will direct & make straight & plain my path. YOUR WORDS are a STEP Speaking HIS Word conditions my mind to HEAR HIS Word and instruction James 3:1-NIV Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect (mature) man, able to keep his whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. Father because of Your Word, I have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation Your Spirit of Truth will guide me into all truths I do not lack for wisdom for I have been given the mind of Christ So I covenant with You now, to give voice to Your Word. I will not give voice to the enemy by speaking fear and doubt You have given the angels charge over me in all my ways and my way is the way of Your Word I am delivered from the powers of darkness The greater One lives in me Your Word will cause me to prevail My pathway is health. My course is peace. My choice is Your way Your Word is being formed in my body and in my thoughts and it will be my direction and result I am far from oppression and fear cannot stay in me No weapon formed against me will prosper but whatever I do will prosper You keep me in perfect peace because my mind is fixed on You Therefore I will rest in you and These things will surely come to pass for Your Word is within me and Your Word cannot fail THIS YEAR will be a year that _______________________________
