What you imagine may be more important than you realize. Ultimately, what you imagine determines what you believe, and how you believe determines how you receive. Having a positive imagination is what the Bible calls hope! And hope is what faith is based upon. Let Andrew share with you the true potential of your imagination in The Power of Imagination! You’ve probably heard Andrew quote Proverbs 23:7a, which says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Now let him show you how to think properly so you can be all that God created you to be!

Welcome to our Friday’s broadcast of the

Gospel truth today I am concluding my

first week of teaching on the power of

imagination I tell you this is awesome

I’ve said some things this week that if

you were to receive what I was saying

and put them into practice I believe it

would literally transform your life

that’s what’s happened to me this is one

of the things that God spoke to me and

it began on January the 31st 2002

actually I’ve been operating in some of

these principles but until you

understand what you’re doing it’s like

you don’t have a handle on it you can’t

do it uh in January of 2002 God spoke to

me about how I was limiting him by my

small thinking which included my small

imagination and this has just totally

revolutionized my life in Ministry so

I’ve got this entire book that will

teach on that we’re asking for a gift of

any amount but this is a brief summary

and I love the little uh image that they

put on here about believing is seen the

opposite of what the world says they say

seeing is believing but the scripture

says believing is seeing you can

actually get to where once you see

something in your heart it’s more real

to you than what you see with your eyes

and this is our free gift to you and

then we have CDs DVDs and a USB that

also goes along with this so I’ve

already covered a lot of material and

there’s no way I can go go back again

please get these materials cuz I promise

you this will change your life and I’m

making them as available to you as I

possibly can uh I was sharing on a

program yesterday that I had a lot of

financial

difficulties uh back in the uh 70s 80s

and 90s the Lord touched my life in 1968

but for around 30 years I was doing what

God told me to do and heading in the

right direction but I didn’t have an

understanding of finan I I had religious

Traditions that were hindering me and

the way I overcame it was that in

1996 through about

1998 I took scriptures and I meditated

on scriptures about

prosperity and one of the points that

I’ve been making is from Isaiah CH 26:3

the Lord will keep him in perfect peace

whose mind is stayed upon him and that

word mind is yeter in the Hebrew y TS e

r and means conception and specifically

that same word y TS e r was translated

imagination in Genesis chapter 6 verse 5

so I believe that when it says when your

mind has to be stayed upon him it’s

talking about your imagination has to be

stayed upon him and that is where you

conceive it’s your your imagination is

your spiritual womb it’s where you

conceive things and miracles don’t

really come from the outside they come

from the inside you cance them them and

give birth to them and so I talked about

that I took these hundred or more

scriptures and I meditated on them for

two years and all of a sudden I got a

revelation of how God wanted me to

prosper and once I got it on the inside

it was just a matter of time until it

came on the outside yesterday I was

giving a lot of uh statistics showing

about how that we have grown and how God

has uh given me over $130 Million worth

of buildings land and things like this

debt free in N9 and a half years and I’m

not saying that to Pat me on the back

there’s nobody watching this who knows

better than I do that this was not me

that did it it’s God that did it but it

wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t have

allowed myself to see it and to start

dreaming and start believing

big and so I was sharing yesterday that

I took these scriptures and meditated on

them let me show you this out of Psalms

chapter 1 it says in verse one blessed

is the man that walketh not in the

counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in

the way of Sinners nor sth in the seat

of the scornful but his Delight is in

the law of the Lord and in his law do he

meditate day and night this right here

says we have to meditate day and night

in the word of God and watch the results

if we do that in verse three it says he

shall be like a tree planted by the

rivers of water that bringeth forth his

fruit in his season his Leaf also shall

not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall

prosper you know it’s using this analogy

that if you have a tree that’s planted

by a river well then when a drought hits

the tree continues to go ahead and have

its nourishment because its roots go

down and it draws nourishment from the

land around that River and so this is

just saying that you’ll be free fruitful

that you won’t go through these dry

spells you won’t be up and down like a

yo-yo like everybody else but it’s all

dependent upon delighting yourself in

the Lord and meditating in his word day

and night a scripture that goes along

with this is Joshua 1 verse 8 where it

says this book of the law shall not

depart out of your mouth but you shall

meditate therein day and night that you

may observe to do according to all that

is written therein for then when you

meditated in the word day and night then

you will make your way prosperous and

then you will have good success but in

both of these passages of scripture that

is promising prosperity and success and

not ever going through a drought being

able to go uh still draw nourishment

while everybody else is languishing it’s

all dependent upon you meditating in the

word so what does it mean to meditate go

down into Psalms chapter 2 and verse one

and that verse says why do the Heathen

rage and the people imagine a vain thing

did you know that the exact word that

was translated imagine in Psalms chapter

2 verse one is the exact same Hebrew

word that is translated meditate in

Psalms chapter 1 verse 2 so put this

together and here’s what you come up

with that when you meditate in the word

what you are doing is imagining this

word you’re seeing it come to pass it’s

one thing to hear that by the stripes of

Jesus you’ve been healed but have you

seen yourself healed it’s one thing to

uh to hear the words that the works that

I did shall you do also in Greater Works

than these shall you do in John

14:12 but it’s another thing to meditate

in it to the point that you see yourself

doing those

things man I pray that you understand

understand what I’m saying here’s an

illustration of it did you know that I

saw a man raised from the dead the first

person I ever saw raised from the dead

was in pritet Colorado and it’s a long

story I won’t go into it but the sheriff

was there trying to get his you know def

fibulator out and all of these kind of

things and I just walked in and

commanded him to come back to life and

he just sat up and started talking it

was a miracle and man it caused no small

stir in pritet Colorado there was only

144 people in the whole town and we

started having a hundred people come to

church now they didn’t all come from the

town they came from the surrounding

areas but nonetheless I saw a person

raised from the dead and then I had a

man that died during one of my church

services in Kansas City he had a

diabetic seizure and they drug him out

in the hall and he died and somebody

came in and said we’ve got a guy that’s

dead and so I just prayed a real simple

prayer and I said I’m gonna keep

preaching and I had some of my team go

out there and anyway this guy was raised

from the dead so I had seen a couple

people raised from the dead and this is

what the Lord promised he he told us in

Matthew chap 10:8 go heal the sick

cleanse the lepers raise the dead this

should not be abnormal we were commanded

to do that and anyway I saw some people

raised from the dead but it just dawned

on me one time that I was like 12 years

later I was thinking that you know I

hadn’t seen anybody raised from the dead

in the last day decade now I’d heard

other testimonies and people who would

take some of the things I said and

they’d come back and give testimonies

but I personally hadn’t seen a person

raised from the dead in a while and so

you know what I did just exactly what

these scriptures said I started

meditating on raising people from the

dead I started imagining it the first

step I took every instance in the Bible

where a person was raised from the dead

there are actually eight in individual

instances now there’s an instance like

when Jesus rose from the dead in Matthew

it says that multitudes came out of the

graves and walked into the City and

appeared to people but it doesn’t give

any specific it’s only one verse that

talks about that as far as individual

cases of people being raised from the

dead there’s only eight instances in the

whole Bible where somebody was raised

from the dead so I took them I took

Elijah and Elisha and then I took all of

the instances where Jesus raised people

from the dead Peter raised people from

the dead Paul raised uus from the dead

and I took all of those things and I

wrote them out on paper and I would just

sit there and first of all I got all of

the

information and I just started thinking

about it and making sure that I

understood so that there wouldn’t be any

confusion you can’t meditate on

something that you have never thought

about so the first step is getting the

information put on the inside of you but

then after I got it I not only saw Jesus

raise Lazarus from the dead but I had to

personalize it because John 14:12 Jesus

said verily verily I say unto you he

that believes on me the works that I do

shall he do also and even greater Works

than these shall he do because I go unto

my father so it’s not enough for me to

just see Jesus raising Lazarus from the

dead I had to see me doing it so I took

all the information about Jesus raising

Lazarus from the dead it says that he

yelled with a loud voice so I actually

on my own I got to where I I would say

in the name of Jesus Lazarus come forth

I would see myself do I would act it out

and I know many of you think boy you are

crazy well how many people have you seen

raised from the dead and I can go on and

tell you that I’ve seen two other people

raised from the dead since I did exactly

what I’m describing to you right here I

saw myself doing what Elijah did what

Elisha did you know Elisha went in and

laid on top of a boy and put his hands

upon his hands and his feet upon his

feet and his mouth upon his mouth and he

prayed for this boy to be raised from

the dead and then he got up and walked

back and forth and then he came back and

did it again and eventually this boy was

raised from the dead I pictured myself

doing that and to help me picture it I

actually physically got on a bed there

wasn’t anybody there but I imagined that

I was like laying on top of somebody who

had died and I pictured myself doing

exactly what Elisha did I pictured

myself doing what Elijah did I pictured

myself doing what Peter did with Dorcas

when he raised her from the dead and I

saw myself doing those things and I know

many of you think boy that’s weird well

that’s the reason that it works for me

is because it’s not just about what

Jesus did it’s not just about what Paul

or Peter or Elijah or Elisha did I saw

myself doing those things somebody might

think well where did you get the right

to do that because Jesus said the works

that I do shall you do also and Greater

Works than these he went on to say that

nothing is impossible to him that

believes and just so many scriptures

I’ve already used a lot of scriptures

about the power of imagination so anyway

I started doing these things and I’m a

what they call a lucid dreamer I’ve

actually read an article about this and

you know like my wife she dreams and I’d

say 90s something percent of the time

she doesn’t even remember that she

dreams but I know she does because

sometimes she’ll talk in her sleep and

things I know that she dreams but she

just forgets it and it’s not very real

it’s not very impactful to her but man I

dream constantly when I go to sleep in

five minutes I’ll dream three or four

things my mind is working the whole time

that I’m asleep I don’t know if there’s

any reason for that I don’t know what

the reason is I’m just telling you this

is the way I am so as I was meditating

on doing these things and seeing people

raised from the dead which Jesus said we

would do the same Works he did he told

us in Matthew 10:8 you go heal the sick

L of lepers raised the dead so I had

scriptural reason to believe for this

and I started meditating on it just like

these verses are saying in Psalms 1:2

and Psalms 2:1 I started using my

imagination to see me doing what I

desired to do and that was to manifest

God and see people raised from the dead

so it became so dominant in my life that

every night as I dreamed I would raise

10 15 20 people from the dead every

night and I don’t know what period of

time that was but that was 6 months or

maybe a year I would just dream and I

would dream all the time about seeing

people raised from the

dead and then on March the 4th

2001 my wife and I had just got back

from an overseas trip and we didn’t get

to bed until like 1:00 in the morning

and at 4:15 in the morning my oldest son

called and he said I’m sorry to tell you

this but Peter my youngest son was dead

and I asked him what happened and he

told me and I said don’t you let anybody

touch him till we get there and we lived

an hour outside of Colorado Springs

where my son was and so we had to get up

and get dressed and drive into town we

didn’t have cell phones back then and so

uh we didn’t get any updates and I

started having all of the emotions and

all of the things happened to me that

anybody would have happened to him if

you’d heard that your son had been dead

and he had been dead for over 4 hours at

the time I got this

call so he had been dead for four hours

he was already pronounced dead he was in

a cooler in a morg in a hospital with a

toe tag on when they called and Jamie

and I just drove in and of course we

spoke our faith and believed in anyway

it’s a long story but my son was raised

from the dead after being dead over 4

hours close to 5 hours with no oxygen

did you know they say that if you go 8

minutes without oxygen it has permanent

brain damage and yet my son was dead

stripped naked in a morg in a cooler

with a toe tag on and he just sat up and

started talking and raised from the

dead and you know what there is

not let me say it this way that there is

a connection between me meditating on

raising people from the dead I just felt

like God spoke to me that I’m supposed

to start seeing the same things happen

that he saw happen John 14:12 and other

places Matthew chapter 8:10 and I

started pursuing it if you don’t pursue

it you won’t get it did you know earlier

this week on the very first day I think

it was I was talking about where there

is no vision the people perish out of

Proverbs chapter 29 and that’s talking

about your imagination your vision is

your ability to see something with your

heart that you can’t see with your eyes

and if you don’t have a purpose a goal

well then you won’t ever get there you

won’t have any restrictions on you

you’ll just head in whatever Direction

God spoke some things to me and told me

that I’m supposed to start seeing people

raised from the dead blind eyes open

deaf ears open the lame walk the lepers

cleanse those are the promises in the

the word and so I started pursuing it I

had a vision and to get that Vision

functional I started meditating on the

scriptures that promised me that I could

do those things and and along with

everything that I’ve been saying this

week Isaiah chapter 26:3 where it says

that the Lord will keep him in perfect

peace whose mind is stayed upon him that

word mind is the Hebrew word yeter ye TS

e r and it means conception you conceive

things in your mind specifically in your

imagination so I started meditating on

things I started using my imagination to

see myself doing what God said I could

do and it is no coincidence that within

a short period of time my son died and I

saw him raised from the dead and then

I’ve seen my wife raised from the dead

after her heart stopped because of a

fall that she had and she was raised

from the dead her heart

stopped and I’ve seen great miracles

happen and I don’t take any credit for

it other than to say that I had to

cooperate with God it’s certainly not

any virtue it’s not any great power uh

of mine but it’s all God’s power but

it’s available to every single one of us

did you know every person watching this

program I don’t care what country you’re

in I don’t care whether you’re male or

female what color you are how tall you

are how short you are how heavy you are

how any you are nothing else matters if

you can

believe it says in Mark chap 16 these

signs shall follow them that believe in

my name they will cast out Devils they

will speak with new tongues they will

take up serpent they’ll drink any deadly

thing they will lay hands on the sick

and they shall recover it’s for

believers there’s no other

restrictions if you can believe it’ll

work for you what God has done for for

me and through me he would do for

anybody you know I have people

constantly tell me I just saw a

video just yesterday of somebody saying

that they saw me on television and I was

totally boring that I was just sitting

there and I wasn’t doing anything and

there is nothing special about me but I

can guarantee you there is something

really special about God and who he is

in me

and the truths that I have learned from

the word of God that’s the only thing

that has made a difference in my life

that’s the only thing that has allowed

me to see my son raised from the dead

after being dead between four and five

hours that’s the only thing that has

allowed me to start a bible school and

to see the facilities that we have

debt-free and stuff it’s the word of God

it’s the power of God and it all comes

through the things that I’m sharing with

you about how to meditate in the word of

God you have to use your

imagination you have to see what you

believe God has promised you you have to

see it come to pass it’s not enough to

pray and say I know that God can heal me

have you ever seen yourself healed and

you might say well no because I’ve got

pain and see all you’re doing is looking

with your physical eyes you’re just

feeling with your natural feelings but

you have faith you can believe God you

can get to where you see things on the

inside you can Embrace healing and you

can see yourself healed long before your

physical body reflects it you can see

yourself prosperous long before your

bank account will verify it you can see

your marriage healed and be in the way

that God wants it to be long before

there’s any physical proof in it I’m

telling you you got to get things on the

inside before you get it on the outside

and this is exactly what what so many

people are missing they aren’t using

their imagin well let me rephrase that

they are using their imagination but not

in a positive way they’re using their

imagination to see what the doctor says

about you’re incurable you’ll never get

over this you’re going to die and you

see that you see yourself being

poor there are many of you that were

raised in poverty and this is the way

that you were raised to think you think

poor you may be praying for healing

but you think poor you talk poor you see

yourself poor you plan poor and yet you

want Prosperity doesn’t work that

way there are many of you that were

raised in a dysfunctional home you were

raised in a broken home and that’s what

you see and you haven’t painted a new

image and you know what it’s going to

become a self-fulfilling prophecy you

will wind up acting it out there are

many of you that have been hurt and so

you wind up hurting other people because

that’s the way you’ve seen it done to

you this is the image that you

have I’m telling you it doesn’t have to

be that way when you get born again you

become a new creature you now have a new

father don’t let your physical father

image affect what your heavenly father

is like you can take your imagination in

the word of God and you can paint a new

picture and you can see God as a loving

Heavenly Father you can see God as

someone who prospers you and loves you

and is pleasing with you it’s up to you

you have to pursue

it I want to thank you for watching our

YouTube channel and the programs that we
