Kids have great imaginations! I remember long ago when our preschool son Joey learned the Sunday school song, "Peter, James and John in a Sailboat." Little was I to know what would follow next in my lovely kitchen! For one day he "escaped" from mom's eye, pulled up a chair to the kitchen sink, filled and re-filled a glass of water, only to pour it, glass by glass, on the kitchen floor.
A real mess for Mom as you can IMAGINE--but not for Joey! In his mind's eye, he was "Jesus," walking on the water as he plopped through the water singing, "Jesus came and He walked on the water...out on the deep blue sea." My kitchen floor became the Sea of Galilee, my innocent little preschooler became Jesus, and my, what a fun time Joey had--until Mama caught him! Now HOW do you scold a little kid with a big imagination like that!
We're all little kids at heart! Remember watching the billowy clouds floating by in the sky? Only they were not clouds--they were flowers and castles and animals--and maybe a big pizza (which I'm craving right now...grin). It's fun to have a great imagination and use it well, but I know someone else who's got a really big imagination--and it's no fun to experience what HE does with it! Come to the well and eavesdrop. Old slewfoot is whispering in the ear of any Christian who wants to listen, believe and then repeat his lies....and Christ is about to CAST DOWN every imagination he has ever uttered! Come watch the duel--and guess who wins!
A Helping Word...or
Two!
I am not worthy of God's love!
"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend, with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and to KNOW the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be FILLED with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:17-19 KJV)."
+++++++
M y faith is not strong enough!
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee. Be not dismayed; for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)."
+++++++
A ll things DON'T work together for good!
"And we know that ALL things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28 KJV)."
+++++++
G od doesn't care!
"Casting all your care upon him; for he CARETH for you (1 Peter 5:7 KJV)."
+++++++
I can't do it!
"I can do ALL things through Christ, who strengtheneth me (Philippians 4:13 KJV)."
+++++++
N o, God won't forgive me; this one's too big!
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Chrsit, his Son, cleanseth us from ALL sin (1 John 1:7 KJV)."
+++++++
A fter the night...are you kidding? The night will never be over!
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the MORNING (Psalm 30:5 KJV)."
+++++++
T here's no answer--it's a hopeless situation!
"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in GOD; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God (Psalm 42:11 KJV)."
+++++++
I 'm not able to strong enough to fight the devil!
Ephesians 6:10-17
+++++++
O h no--not another STRESS TEST--I cannot handle ONE MORE THING!
"...but God is FAITHFUL who will not permit you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will, with the temptation, also make the way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it (1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV)."
+++++++
N ever mind God's promises - He doesn't keep them!
"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering (for he is FAITHFUL that promised) (Hebrews 10:23 KJV)."
+++++++
S o, does God know who I am? Does He REALLY care about ME?
Psalm 139:1-24
Begone, thou whisperer of woes! Jesus Christ, the way, the TRUTH and the life, is our Lord. His Word is true and in HIS name, we command you to flee! We choose this day to block out your lying words, to open our hearts and spirits to the true Word of God. You can "imagine THAT" all you want, devil--we choose to listen to our Lord!
...and that's just a thought or two--from my heart to yours!
"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 (2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV)."
"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...(Hebrews 12:2 KJV)."
"Lord, I've believed and repeated the devil's lies long enough. I'm ready to hide YOUR Word in my heart that I might not sin again you! I believe; help thou, oh Lord, mine unbelief! In Jesus Name, Amen!"
