Trying to do what the mind will not allow without freedom. The freedom to imagine that day, that wonderful day when the joys of anticipation fully answered, we are free to escape that which reason limits. Understanding, a complex bundle of science and thought never matures to bouquet without the splendor of daydreamed horizon. These paths these one way, singular vehicle roadways are the construction of those who would capture the imagination and seal it tightly that we may never challenge their ruling. The joy of this life in the midst of pain is something that requires that projection, understanding and contentment of things only seen in the certainty of a hopeful mind.

Even now this world constantly seeks control. Shaping, twisting, parrying, indulging and then bullying each of us in to a conditioned mindset. The nearest victim that of our dreams, imagination and expectation are soon put away as folly, useless and impractical components of a world ruled by reasoned thinking. All discovery is found within the realms and boundless universe of the imagination. Practicality is useful in paying the bills and planting crops or walking the dog but it fails to feed the spirit which is made for universality.  That is not to condone those seeking false release in to the ethereal understanding available through relationship with God’s Word and Prayer, for we must remain vigilant in our focus to defend against the powers, principalities and realms that will gladly offer us a taste of personal power to ensnare us. Why else would God have allowed them among us, fully knowing this mechanism would present ample opportunity for our capture. That men would fall for the ploy of personal magics and conjuring, thinking themselves having cornered the seat of imagination?

These are the days that must be faced with faith or capitulation. We must either hold true to the ideas of hope, a hope found within the confines of our thinking and belief, tested by that which may be seen, felt or touched. Or give into the hopelessness of what lay before us in this circumstantial reality, lacking the visioned promises of Almighty God. They would sell you on sorcery yet have you limit your thinking to the understanding of experimentation that at its outset excludes the possibility of God’s intervention in the world. It is a quandary, a maze from which there is no exit, for it requires a man to imagine within the confines of reasoned thinking, a painful and hopeless experience. My imagination is pure, it allows me to imagine the Lord’s face looking down upon me in favor and delight. It gives me a mental picture of New Jerusalem as it comes down from the sky and the solid full-color vision of Christ’s Return. These are not the things of sorcery but my minds capacity to imagine the realization of the Promises Given within the Word of God.

I do not need your empiricism to tell me about the Lord, I have the mind of Christ, given me by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Do not tell me that history of man’s cruelty to one another in legalism and conquest dictates the limits of our morality and love. How small our borders, how limited our thinking if we are held in check by the sorcery of man. God is infinite, we were made in His likeness, then what does that portend for our constructive boundlessness? They will challenge the ideas of relationship with Almighty God by any assault or ideal that limits the freedom which comes to each person who discovers the universality of that relationship. It is control they seek and the best way to control any specie is to corral them, herd them, place them within the controllable barriers of paddocks whether mental, physical or spiritual. We must embrace our imaginations but never let them act as enemy foot hold or opportunity. There is safety but it is only available under the Mighty Wings of God. Seek Him and you shall find those things beyond your mortal envelope. In Jesus’ Name.
