Transformed by the Presence of God
By Barbie Breathitt
Faith
in God took Enoch into another realm of reality.
Enoch
agreed and walked with God.
His
mind was so transformed by the presence of God, that Enoch was no longer
recognizable, he was not found. He became a new being by the renewing of his
mind.
Enoch
was no more. God took Enoch up into the heights of heaven because he was found
pleasing in God's sight.
Enoch
was able to avoid our last enemy, death. Enoch learned the ways of eternal life
by walking in God's shadow.
When
we come to God, we must first believe that He is God!
To
seek and find God, we must do so with all our heart. Without a heart full of
faith it is not possible to please God.
Once
we find God we must continue to pursue and desire to know the vast depths
within Him. We pray, search and yearn for God seeking Him day and night.
When
Moses sought to know God's grace and favor he asked God to show him His ways of
glory (Hebrews 11:5–7).
Yet
when one takes a step towards God, in God's great mercy, He strides forward to
save the spiritually blind and delivers the morally lost.
When
God finds us bound in the darkness of sin, He saves us so the process of
renewing the imaginations of the mind can begin.
A
New Level of Imagination
Jesus took imagination to a whole new level when
He said; "Everyone who
looks at a woman with the intent to lust after her has already committed
adultery with her in his heart; for as a man thinks in his heart, so is
he."
It
is important to guard the concerns of the heart, for out of the heart flows the
matters of life.
Those
who maintain an uncontaminated heart and unsoiled hands will see God. Those
with a vain or evil imagination will bring lack and destruction on
themselves.
Imagination
can carry us to worlds that never have been, but without imagination, we remain
complacent and go nowhere.
The
natural limits of life are removed when one enters into the realm of
imagination. Imagination allows us to experience things that are not limited to
the perception of our five natural senses.
Through
our imagination we can gaze upon what other's eyes cannot see. We can listen to
the melodies and lyrics other's ears cannot hear.
Imagination
is a powerful visionary tool that causes healing and wholeness to enter one's
life.
Flowing
in the Love of God
The
heart of compassion can be touched with the feelings of other's infirmities.
We
can bring healing into the lives of those around us when we allow God's love to
flow through us. The gift of healing is empowered by compassion for those in
pain.
Imagination
enables a person to visualize themselves completely whole and pain free.
Instead
of focusing on the negative words of the doctor's report and rehearsing all the
disease symptoms, reading and researching all the harmful prognosis of death
and deterioration, focus on the creative, life-giving Words of God.
The
authoritative Word of God has the miraculous power to heal.
Begin
to see yourself as strong, whole, pain free and happy, living a full,
prosperous life again.
Maintain
a thankful heart of gratitude towards God for who He is then reflect on the
many things He has already done on your behalf.
In
God's loving kindness He sent Jesus the Living Word to heal and deliver us from
destruction.
The
Word of God has the power to destroy sickness, disease and poverty creating
health, wealth and prosperity in its place.
The
greatest power in the universe is love.
God
will grant us the ultimate gift, eternal life in His Kingdom
through His grace if we repent of our sins and obey His commands .
To
experience God as a personal, caring, loving Father, you have to receive Jesus
Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. You will become a child of God and
begin the fulfillment of the reason you were created by God.
Say
the following prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins
have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I
now want to turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to
You.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning
again.
I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for
my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to
rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank You that according to
Your Word, I am now Your child, and I am born again.
Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey
You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I promise to study Your Word
– the Bible.
Please use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.”
