From The Eyes of God

Written by Rev. Daniel Forster

Are you feeling overwhelmed by guilt? Let’s work through it together.

“When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, ‘Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.”  But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16:6-7, ESV)

Have you heard the saying “perception is reality”? I used to believe that but praise God, He has taught me otherwise. All throughout the Bible we are taught that God does not see the same way that we do.

In 1 Samuel, the king Saul has lost the favor and spirit of the Lord our God because of his disobedience and his lack of repentance in his heart. God instructs Samuel the prophet to go to Bethlehem and seek a son of Jesse there. Samuel does not know his name. He has all of Jesse’s sons brought before him as the Lord directs him in which God will anoint as King of Israel. Today’s passage picks up the story when Samuel is looking on the sons of Jesse.

HARNESSING YOUR IMAGINATION AND INTUITION TO PROVE THE WILL OF GOD

Dear Friends,

What do perception, cognition, reasoning, intuition, and imagination all have in common?

They are all aspects of the functions of the mind God gave you to serve to help you operate at the highest levels of integrated intelligence and creative power in your life. They are the streams that are part of the river of your life that flow in specific directions when they are harnessed and used appropriately.  In fact, you need all of them in order to achieve your life purpose, accomplish your objectives, and fulfill your dreams. There can be no "dominion" taken in your life without their help.

Here is a really important question so read it carefully and slowly:

How much have you heard when being taught on being transformed by the renewing of your mind about the role intuition and imagination play?
