The imagination is the table turner of the soul. It is the one thing that matters for your mind and emotions. It is very important to keep a close eye on your imagination.
When images pop up in your mind that generate fear, stress, anxiety, discouragement, etc you must learn to cast them down immediately and redirect your focus back to God with the belief that he is for you and nothing is impossible with him.
This is a skill. It takes the understanding that God has given you control of your imagination. You have the ability to reprogram it. Then it takes awareness throughout the day. Anytime an image pops up that shouldn't be there cast it down. The longer you let an image spin in your mind the stronger it becomes and the more emotions it generates.
The imagination is very powerful for good or evil. The imagination is where the seed of truth or lies grow.
Recently I was praying and heard the phrase “ a tsunami of blessing is coming.” Throughout the day I kept hearing this on the inside so I wrote it in my journal that night and even drew a picture of a surfer trying to catch a huge wave. The next morning when I turned on my computer there was a picture on the screen of a huge wave with a surfer trying to catch the wave. My oldest daughter had been playing a game on the computer the night before and had left the game up on the screen. Then about a day later, I felt prompted to finish listening to a sermon that I hadn’t finished several weeks before. When I clicked on the video it resumed where I had left off and the first thing out of the pastors mouth was about a tsunami of blessing.
As I am writing this right now the world is in a state of chaos because of the coronavirus. The world has basically shut down because of the pandemic so it does not look like a tsunami of blessing is coming. But, it is important...

Passover is coming up on Wed April 8th. This is a time of year to increase your gratitude.
Colossians 1:12-13 says "giving thanks to the father who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints of the light. He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his dear son."
Passover is a reminder that God has already done this for you. He has seated us with him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:6)
How can we already be seated in Heaven with Christ even though we are here on earth? Quantum science has now proven that it is possible for a particle to be in two places at one time, it is called Quantum Superposition, but you only see the one you are looking for. If you are looking for a heavenly perspective you will see it. If you are looking for the domain of darkness you will see it.
This is a time of year to focus on seeing everything from a heavenly perspective and increasing your gratitude that God has already...
On God's calendar we have about 2 more weeks of cleaning out to make room for the new.
Spring is a reminder that God makes all things new.
It is a time when everything is green and growing.
It is also the time to plant seeds.
During this time of the year it is important to be seeking God on the new things he wants to do in your life this year.
It could be a new way of doing things, a new skill you develop, or something completely new.
As you press into God and find those answers begin to sow/invest into them.
Once we get to Easter weekend be prepared for rapid growth and a 50 day sprint to the day of Pentecost.
P.S. Recently I made the Abundant Life Blueprint free. God's calendar is a big part of the program.

Jesus said that the path that leads to life is narrow, which means it is like a balance beam.
Through the years of working with clients there are two big reason why people struggle to make progress.
The first is never getting started. It is easy to procrastinate even when we know a change needs to be made. There will never be the perfect time to get started so just get started anyway and take the first step. Start small and use a gentle approach but commit to being consistent.
The second key to progress is rhythm. Once people get started the biggest reason they struggle is getting knocked out of rhythm. Whenever you try to make a change for the good life will always test you by attempting to knock you out of rhythm.
This is where you can use God's rhythm as a tool to keep you moving forward. The temple of the Old Testament had a rhythm of morning, evening, weekly, monthly, and the yearly cycle of feasts. You are the temple now and rhythm is one of your...
Lately I have been pondering scriptures on the power of God being in us.
In the Old Testament if you touched a leper you were unclean, but in the New Testament Jesus and the disciples touched lepers and the lepers became clean. The tables were turned.
In Acts 19:11 it says God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
Romans 8:11 the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you and will bring life to your mortal body.
Colossians 1:27 Christ (the anointed one) is in you the hope of glory
In Exodus 30 anything that touched the anointed things of the temple became holy and clean.
1 John 2:27 the anointing you received from him remains in you.
John 5:30 Jesus says that he can do nothing in his own self.
John 14:10 Jesus says it is the father in him who does the work and whoever...
On God's calendar we are getting close to Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread which starts on the evening of April 8th.
Between now and the Feast of Unleavened Bread it is a time to be cleaning out and making room for the new.
Every year God wants to do something new in your life.
With all of the changes going on in the world right now I believe it is important to be pressing in and seeking God on how to navigate through this time so that you come out on the other side better than ever.
This is a time to be cleaning out old outdated ways of thinking, doing business, etc. Since most people are home right now it is also a good time to clean out your house.
Passover is coming up on the evening of April 8th.
Passover is like a big communion meal. And Psalm 105:37 says that after the Passover there was not one sick or feeble person among close to one million people.
In Exodus God tells the people that the Passover is supposed to be a memorial that reminds them of what God had done in their lives, and that it would provide an opportunity for parents to tell their kids what God had done in their lives.
The word Passover in Hebrew is Pesach which means talking mouth, because it is a time when you are supposed to talk about how Jesus transferred us out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of light.
Something I am learning lately is that the Passover can serve as a point of contact where you express your faith that Jesus translated you into a new life. It is an opportunity to bring what has already been done for you into the present.
With many churches not able to have regular services right now I still believe it's important to take regular communion.
Several years ago, I was feeling under the weather and tried to heal with proper nutrition, etc. As I began to pray and ask God what the issue was, the answer I received was "when was the last time you took communion." The truth is, I was attempting to heal myself rather than trusting in God. It had been several weeks since I had taken communion but after taking it that night I felt better quickly. And from that moment on, my family and I started taking communion almost every night.
Communion serves as a point of contact to express your faith in what Jesus did over 2000 years ago.
Communion brings his sacrifice into your current moment as you remember that he bore your sins and by his stripes you were healed. When I take the bread I visualize God pouring the cup of his wrath on Jesus so that I can have his cup of blessing.
When I take the juice I...
