Using Your Imagination for Fantasy or Faith

In Genesis when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and there was a
delight to the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to make one wise she took of its fruit and ate.

What did she see?

The enemy when he tempts us wants us to see something. But the truth is, what he wants us to see is not reality.

She saw something that wasn’t actually there. And the enemy does the same thing to us.

He gets us pointed at pornography, at an extramarital relationship, masturbation, fantasy, a hookup, or a same sex relationship.

And he tells us all that will be there for us and all that it’s going to do for us. And it feels on some level like it will. And it never does.

Join us as we talk about the power of our imagination and how to take hold of it for His glory.
