JUST IMAGINE THAT ! #1291/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

JUST IMAGINE THAT
Your imagination is like clay; reform it. There is a mysterious Scripture in the book of Genesis concerning the tower of Babel. God said that if he left these people to their own doing, they could imagine anything and do it. To understand that is so far beyond our comprehension in the natural mind that we miss the power of it.
The imagination is the seedbed for thoughts and actions. Things we end up doing start in that seedbed and grow into giant trees. Our life's good, bad, and ugly originate in our thought patterns.
One of the potent purposes of meditation that is lost to the Western culture is the result of thinking by letting your imagination develop and grow.
The great discoveries, inventions, and technological wonders come from someone's imagination. The same day the dreamer came up with the printing press or the television, someone else came up with evil deeds and desperate thoughts.
Jesus warned us to take no thought and say the things that would harm us.
The Scriptures also tell us to cast down those types of imaginations and take them captive to the word of God unto Christ.
Your imagination and your thought life come out of your heart, and because Christ lives there, you can let him mold you in his image. This is what we call maturity, or growing in Christ.
The apostle Paul referred to this as carnal people, those who let their imaginations run their lives into the works of the flesh. When we rest in the lord, cast or care for him, and trust him to keep us, that shapes our imagination.
After all, we are patterned after God himself; because of that, we are creative and inventive. Just like our heavenly father, we release that creative power through our mouth by the words we speak.
Be aware of your thoughts and imaginations; your words will reflect your heavenly father.

BE CAREFUL LITTLE EARS WHAT YOU HEAR #1288/ WITH DR. GEORGE WATKINS

Thursday Aug 31, 2023
BE CAREFUL LITTLE EARS WHAT YOU HEAR
Jesus made a curious statement when he spoke to those around him. He said “he's that has ears to hear let him hear.” That's a very odd statement when we know that everyone generally has ears and they do already hear. This can only mean there is a spiritual ear that needs to be open so that we can hear spiritual truth.
We can call that ear faith in God. The scripture tells us that if we come to God, we must believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of those that diligently seek him.
However, this is the challenge we face.
Who are we listening to today? Where do we get our news from?
The scriptures tell us, we are built up by our words, and our faith increases.
That would also mean that we are tore down by words and faith is removed, and doubt takes over.
What kind of company do we keep?
First Corinthians 15:33 tells us that bad company corrupts good morals. How does that work? Because whoever you hang around, will influence you because of the conversations that you have. Those words, according to proverbs 18: 8 will go down into your inner most parts of your body. That's a serious invasion of who you are.
Proverbs, 20 and 19 tells us that tale bearer or gossipers are to be avoided ;do not hang around them. Separate yourself. Why?
Because we have ears that hear those words around us, and they influence our life and future.
In first Timothy, 3:6 to 11 gives us a picture of the mature men and women who are to lead the body of Christ. These individuals are not gossipers they do not bear false report, and they do not carry slander. The words that they speak into the body of Christ is filled with life because they are listening to the right news and associating with others of excellence spirit.

GIANTS DON'T GO AWAY ON THEIR OWN-YOU MUST CHALLENGE THEM
Giants and other troublemakers that come along in our lives don't leave on their own; they must be challenged. When young David went to the battlefield, bringing food for his brothers, he encountered an odd scene in front of him.
On one side of the valley, a massive man named Goliath had been there for over a month, shouting insults at the army of Israel. David also noticed, to his dismay, that the army of Israel was hiding in caves, afraid to come out and face the giant.
God has been preparing David for giant killing without David's knowledge. His preparation was his encounter with a lion and a bear. Both of these obstacles in his life had to be faced before they were dismissed. (That's a nice word for killed and destroyed.)
David did several things that set him on his pathway that led to the throne of Israel.
First of all, he refused to use the weapons of natural man. That would be Saul's armor. The next thing he did was prepare his weapons of warfare and went to the brook and selected five smooth stones. David stayed in his anointing. He knew his strength and was going to use it.
His next act was that he prophesied his victory in advance and told Goliath what he would do to him.
His final act before throwing his stone was to run toward his giant, and when he did the anointing of the Lord, he took his stone to its target.
Your giant will not go away on its own. You have to face it.
Trouble will come; as a matter of fact, Jesus said that, so it must be true. If you face your troubles in faith, God will anoint your strength and listen to your prophecies and declarations, and the weapon you use against your giant will succeed.

THE_OLD_ACCOUNT_WAS_SETTLED-_A_MACRO_VIEW_1274_WITH_DR_GEORGE_WATKINS
Monday Aug 14, 2023
Monday Aug 14, 2023
THE OLD ACCOUNT WAS SETTLED
A wind blew through my spirit today, bringing this song to my mind. It's one of the songs we sang from a familiar hymnal in our Pentecostal church services. Let me quote a few lines for you.
Verse one, "There was a time on earth, when, in the book of heaven, an old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven.
My name was at the top, and many things were below. I went onto the keeper and settled long ago.
Verse two
The old account was large and growing every day, for I was always sinning and never tried to pay, but when I looked ahead and such pain and woe, I said that I would settle. I settled long ago.
First three
When at the judgment bar, I stand before my king, and he the book will open. If he cannot find the thing, then will my heart be glad while tears of joy will flow because I had it settled and settled long ago.
First four
When in that happy home, my savior's home above, I'll sing the redemption story and praise him for his love. I will not forget that book with pages white as snow because I came and settled and settled long ago.
Then the chorus
Long ago, down on my knees, long ago, I settled at all. Yes, the old account was settled long ago, hallelujah, and the record is clear today, for he washed my sins away when the old account was settled long ago.
As you might imagine, songs like this shaped our theology in our Pentecostal world. However, this type of understanding tended to focus us on our personal journey and our personal sins and failures. Because of that, many of us repeated our redemption and cleansing processes almost as often as the old Israelites did under the old covenant. We would often take a new dip in the fountain of forgiveness and redemption in each service because this was our MicroView of redemption.
How about the macro View? What's it like?
Rom 5: 17-19
Here is a quote from verse 18 in the Mirror Bible. Take some time to meditate upon these verses.
"The conclusion is clear: it took just one offense to condemn mankind; one act of righteousness declares the same mankind innocent.
This is from the Philips translation:
"We see, then, that as one act of sin exposes the whole race of men to condemnation, so one act of perfect righteousness presents all men freely acquitted in the sight of God!"
Take some time to view redemption from 30,000 feet, and you'll begin to see just how inclusive and wonderful His grace is to us.

WHEN YOU PLANT YOUR SEED FOR HARVEST, PLANT THE BEST
A repeated phrase from the early computer days expressed how the system worked. GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT!
Anyone who understands how the computer works knows that it is true. This is why someone who inputs data gets paid so generously. The success of the whole system depends on accurate, reliable information going in if you expect to get the same coming back to you.
This whole idea is much larger than the mechanics of a computer on the Internet. It's the pattern of life itself. The reason for that is that is the way God set it up.
The Scriptures tell us, "If you want to have friends, show yourself friendly."
They also tell us, "Give, and it shall be given to you press down, shaken together and running over will men get back to you?"
We can also include the familiar verse, "according to your faith, so be it up to you." Then faith is likened to a seed that you plant. Jesus told us there was a category of faith. To one group, he said, "Oh, you a little faith." And to another one, he declared, "I have never seen such great faith, not even in Israel."
Another seed that we plant that may be among the most powerful is our words. Jesus declared, "If we would say to the Mountain be cast into the sea, and not doubt in our heart, we would have what we say."
Try that on for size when you get into your spiritual Superman suit.
You and I stand at the most significant crossroads in spiritual history for the believer.
We have had revelation upon revelation of God's kingdom over the last 2,000 years. I believe the seeds planted by our forefathers and the martyrs who have given their lives for this gospel are just about ready to come up.
I've stared long enough at the outside of the veil of God's revelation. I want to go to the other side where the action is. HOW ABOUT YOU?

THE ANGEL CALLED TRUMPETER #1268/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS
Monday Aug 07, 2023
Monday Aug 07, 2023
THE ANGEL CALLED TRUMPETER
In the remaining hours of 2014, the Spirit of God spoke to me concerning the new year I was facing. The words 12 - 12 -12 were dropped into my spirit, and I asked What do you mean by that, father? He said I will introduce to you 12 angels and 12 keys that were released, 12 miracles for this new year.
As you may imagine, I was all ears, and my spirit was tuned in and ready to receive. Through 2015, it was a wild ride of Faith to believe the word that God had given me. Each of those months, around the clock, struck 12, a new Angel would come and introduce himself to me.
The August Angel's name was Trumpeter. As we communicated throughout August, I discovered why the father sent him into my life. (I found he had been with me since childhood, preparing for the ministry God had designed for my life.)
One of the things that he was designed to do was blow the trumpet when he prophesied over someone or to a congregation. I discovered that the blowing of the trumpet did something to the prophecy to penetrate into the spirit of the one receiving it.
The scripture refers to blowing the trumpet in Zion. The blowing of the trumpet in the ancient days sent the army into battle. It gave directions and encouragement by the sound of the trumpet. In the military, when the bugle or trumpet is blown in the morning, it wakes up the troops so they can prepare for the day.
The sound of the trumpet will proceed the coming of the lord according to the scriptures that we love to quote. As I understand it, this has been going on in my life for a long time without me realizing what was behind the curtain of the spirit.
Since that encounter with the angel Trumpeter, I often hear it in my spirit when he blows that heavenly sound.
This is my personal experience. Each of us has a path that God puts us on and teaches us how to function and be successful in our call. I encourage you to press into that secret place David talks about and listen to those heavenly instructions. It will change your life and your relationship with the father.
After all, the scriptures tell us that the angels surround us to defend, guide, encourage, and protect. Isn't that something?

THERE ARE NO MYSTERIES IN GOD-ONLY ON REVEAL TRUTH
Those who have spent their life studying the human brain tell me that the average person uses a tiny percentage of their brain in their daily routine.
To add to that thought, even the most intelligent men and women among us still use a tiny percentage of the brain that God gave us to think and create with.
With that picture in mind, let me speak of our spiritual life and the revelation within us because of the God who dwells within us. Yet, as spiritual beings, we use a tiny part of the revelation and understanding of the kingdom that we are a part of.
It's like a child who goes into a giant toy store and stops at the first one they find, spending the rest of the day with one toy.
We have found salvation, that is true, yet some churches and people you may interact with consider that to be the only toy in the store.
In my early days of travel, if I did not preach a salvation sermon, they considered me to have missed the mark.
For those of us who are Pentecostal, charismatic, spirit-filled believers, we have our list of favorite subjects that we cycle through as we meet together. All of them are important and so precious that I would never want to do without them. Yes, like the little boy in the toy store, we may spend so much time recycling or reviewing those things that we already know that we never discover any fresh revelation from the father.
In reality, there are no mysteries in God, only unrevealed truth. If you'll be honest with yourself and let your spirit have a voice, you will hear a cry: Father, reveal yourself in your fullness to me.

ROCK OR SAND- WHICH WILL IT BE? #1245/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS
Tuesday Aug 01, 2023
Tuesday Aug 01, 2023
THE ROCK OR SAND WHICH WILL IT BE
The gift of life is so precious and yet so fleeting. It seems like just a flash of time, and we are older, and things have changed so much. Because of our busy lifestyle and the pressure of raising families, we often don't appreciate the days as they slip by. Only when we look back, do moments in time become precious, and we regret not savoring those moments.
You build your life on something, whether a solid foundation, like a rock, or a shifting weak foundation, like sand. Jesus told us that the person that built their house upon the sand, their house will fall when the winds and the storm came in. But those who build their house upon the rock we know to be Jesus Christ will stand despite the strong winds and waves that come.
It's always possible to readjust our foundations because when we deal with spiritual matters, the Scriptures tell us, "Today is the day of salvation.' There is no age limit on coming to Christ, and when you do, your foundation shifts from the sands of life to the rock, Christ Jesus, that will never fail you.
The promise, directly from Jesus, in the quotation above is that your house will not fall when founded on Him, the solid rock.

WHY I DON’T READ ANYMORE #1235/ WITH DR. GEORGE WATKINS
Sunday Jul 30, 2023
Sunday Jul 30, 2023
WHY I DON'T READ THE BIBLE ANYMORE
"I know this must come as a shock to you, seeing that I am Mr. Average Christians in America. First of all, I have already read the Bible, so what's new? Secondly, listening to my favorite preacher online gives me all the words I need. And, after all, it is hard to understand. One of my friends in the small group reminded me the other day that it is all about dead people, so what's the point?
However, on the positive side, I plan to start rereading it around Christmas sometime."
A few days ago, I was home alone while Arlis visited our son in another city. I took advantage of the time and reviewed some of my notes, preparing for today's video. It wasn't quite lunchtime, so I pulled out the apple fritter I purchased at the grocery store on the way home. Of course, I had to have some coffee with that, then I found the wheat thins that were left over from yesterday, so I nibbled on some of those. But this time, I was hankering for an ice cream slice, so down the Hatch that went also.
It wasn't long before I noticed it was just about lunchtime, but by now, I wasn't hungry, so I kept going through my paperwork. After all, there are some cookies in the cupboard I could get.
I heard the other day from a doctor on the Internet. That sugar is just about as addictive as heroin. I don't know about the heroin part, but I sure know about the sugar part. I can wake up in the morning and dream of having my ice cream slice in the evening. No matter how you look at that, it's just plain wrong.
When we go to church and get entertainment for the soul instead of food for the spirit, it becomes addictive. When we feed the soul snack food, such as good fellowship around good food and baseball games, it gets addictive.
Of course, I am aware and even in agreement that all of these things are wonderful, fun, and good for us, but when they replace our spiritual food, such as the word of God and the moving of the Holy Spirit, we miss the point.
If you feed yourself on "the ice cream slices of life" instead of the good word of God, you also will stop reading the Bible because you have satisfied your soul but not your spirit.
Feed your spirit the good word of God regularly, and you will become the man and woman you have desired to be since you were converted.

TRAVELING LIGHT #1237/ WITH DR. GEORGE WATKINS
Sunday Jul 30, 2023
Sunday Jul 30, 2023
TRAVELING LIGHT
I have traveled around the world several times and in multiple countries. I have gone by airplane, train, automobile, boat, motorcycle, and tricycle. I have even walked a fair amount of distance to get to my destination.
In all the miles I've traveled and all the miserable places I've endured as I traveled, I have learned a few things that have helped me over the years.
On my first international trip, I loaded up suitcases like I was leaving town for good. I tried to imagine every possible problem or activity and made room for it in my three bags.
Not realizing the mode of transportation that I would encounter and needing a valet to help carry my abundance of luggage, I had trouble. I didn't open two of my suitcases on this first trip.
If you know human nature very well, you've probably already guessed that I didn't learn just from one trip. But after a few of those experiences, I learned to travel light. Running through the airport in Japan trying to catch my flight home with the help of an attendant, carrying one of my bags as I drag the others, is no way to travel.
When our team went to Europe, we had perfected our traveling gear into a tiny satchel.
The Scriptures tell us to lay aside every weight and sin that does so easily beset us and run the race that is before us. Professional runners shave their tennis shoes of excess rubber to lose that much weight.
The scriptures also tell us that the cares of life are weight to us. And they ask us to cast our cares on the Lord.
I encourage you to unpack your extra weight because Jesus said, Come on to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. He continued by saying take my yoke upon you, for it is light.
So how about it? Are you ready to unpack and run the race like the gazelle fast and furious?
