When The Imagination Becomes Your Priesthood

Where did this begin? In the Garden of Eden when the evil knowledge played in the mind of Eve. For she saw that it was pleasant. This is where the wisdom of the world was introduced which works in tandem with the imagination to project a favorable future for one self.
Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."
This made faith look foolish for faith is the 'good knowledge'and evil is the 'false knowledge' which demands a voice of its own way and refuses the yoke of God.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Genesis 8:21 "... for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth;"
Ancient society trained their children in vain things under the spell of the shadow of false knowledge. The children of Cain pursued the honor of man. And the results were murder.
Genesis 4:21-23 "And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt."
A Warning for Adamites Today
Psalm 73:18 "Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction."
Leviticus 26:43 "... and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes."
When the imagination replaces faith in the priesthood of the covenant then it becomes despised and the believer finds little reason to value any governing authority outside of their experience. They follow their own heart as it was in the days of Noah. We witness history repeating itself but the wise do not lay it to heart.
Isaiah 5:21 "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
Matthew 24:37 "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
The Faith of Noah Resisted the Watchers Logic
But Noah found grace. Not in the imagination about God but the sanctified altar of the covenant, which Enoch, Noahs great grandfather instructed the people on the mountof the Cave of Treasures.
Which Hill Are You Standing On: Blessing Or The Curse
Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every IMAGINATION of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Noah reflected on the revelations of Enoch which shows that Enochs revelation written in the 7th heaven were and still is divinely inspired God breathed for sustaining the life of faith in our soul today.
7th Heaven 2 Enoch 20:1 "And those men (2 angels)lifted me up from there and they carried me up to the 7th heaven."
Apocalypse of Abraham 19:4 "...and I saw on the 7th Firmament upon which I stood..."
Hebrews 11:7 BY FAITH NOAH, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
When His Compassion Replaces The Mercy Of His Covenant: Fables Abound
Where God answers prayers regardless of the personal issues the person may be faced with people desire to weigh them to control them for their own personal use. God healed so-in-so because of their love, and so they assess and recalibrate their behaviour to match the results accordingly. But then after many years pass they accuse God of folly and deny any miracle had ever taken place.
Here we see the imagination tethered to scripture to project a desired blessing or profitable outcome. False faith turns to despair.
Prophecy and Promise = Text + Aspiration: The Unequal Yoke
So Ahab called together all the students of Jezebel (Provost) to confirm his desires. False prophets practice by the same spirit today and using the imagination for the scale of inspiration they speak forth by the seducing spirit using the evident circumstances as a witness of truth.
2 Kings 23:5 "And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven."
Jeremiah 7:9 "Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;"
1Kings 22:12&15 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to RAMOTHGILEAD, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand. So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against RAMOTHGILEAD to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
See how dangerous the imagination can be when Satan sees the drive of the aspirations to abandon the reason of faith to accomplish the desired results. No patience is needed, and no faith is required, and why do we need apostles if I can get what I want anyway.
Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one CASTING OUT devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
The Altar of Compassion or the Altar of Mercy
My Fathers compassion is seen here which I cannot speak against, but follow Me and you shall see greater things in My mercy. We see this scenario played out over and over again since history was recorded in the 7th heaven. Satan (father of iniquity) set a record of the heart for all those that desire to change the testimony of God into the fruit of their aspirations. And the fallen Watchers taught sinners to abandon the plan of God and follow their heart. They provided a rich array of choices for the aspirations and rewarded their slaves accordingly with false grace.
When the children of Israel had eaten and were full, even when the food was being chewed they found fault with authority that would rob them of their pleasure. And God sent a plague, a consuming curse upon the soul that would yoke them to despair.
Numbers 11:33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was CHEWED, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
Today the False Religious System (FRS) pursues the habits of the self made Christian Faith Culture (CFC) even when God in His compassion gave them dreams and visions, not to confirm them but to fulfil His word to His church.
We honour the Father when we honour the Son and we honour Him in the terms of His covenant where His mercy is as the Mercy seat upon the Ark of the covenant.
This teaches us that the Witness is greater than the Record because the sanctification is necessary for His mercy to be revealed.
When God authorized a healing to take place (as the Spirit wills) then the FRS took ownership of His compassion in healing and made a standard of authenticity.
They wrote many books on the how-to healing ministry. People then would flock to the miracle and those preachers interpreted this crowd as the heart of God, then assigned this a doctrine to promote evangelism, and even to justify greed.
The FRS replaced the priesthood of Christ with the imagination about Christ and history of His presence became the spoken witness. So then when anyone professes the truth of the history and says they believe in God is then weighed to the scales of this profession. Why do we need apostles if a person can claim themselves to be a Christian without them?
When the true spiritual priesthood of Christ is removed from their faith then those unconverted believers step in and can claim biblical authority as resourcing the text, to stand for their faith.
This creates confusion of face to where even religious sinners can be honoured for their achievements or grand visions of big ministries and large churches as if God ordained this practice. Where the true priesthood of Christ is absent in the heart then the spiritual void (defiled conscience) seeks rest by outside entertainments, and the music industry capitalises in this area.
Religious passions are enflamed by the words and rhythm about Jesus. We see that even aspirations can take on religious overtones and pass the carnal eye as 'of the Lord'.
Religious public opinion became the confirmation as the ratings were used and the finances flowed in and this opinion took the front pages of Christian magazines and media.
Those of the public eye stood up to bat: Strike Three!
Church institutions of learning and pastors and doctorate thesis were written and denominational canonisation followed and every religious practice was viewed as Christ. Sinners in the pulpit called 'ministers of unrighteousness' by the apostles, set the pace.
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their IMAGINATIONS, and their foolish heart was darkened.
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Government Stewardship Warned The Church: The FRS Was Blind
They would say, we don't need apostles because we have the bible, and so they would preach this perception until more confirmations would be forthcoming as the selected testimonies would be used to canonise this sermon into a holy doctrine for that denomination. And as the Church Pharaohs ruled in the pulpit throne the pew sitters were brought into their textual bondage and addicted to gather stubble and straw for bricks. We see how the imagination worked in the prosperity gospel.
When the imagination is used in place of faith, then truth is abominated as being cold and lifeless. They would say, your truth is not Jesus because it replaces my passion with the dead letter.
Truth to them is a dead letter. Satan rules the passions through this imagination which is like an open window in the city on a hot day.
Satan enters the soul through the imagination. God cursed the imagination when sinners used this power to justify their sins before God. The imagination is not a sanctified token for faith nor can the conscience be cured by mental therapy or trans-mental meditation.
The priesthood of Christ in the saint prepares the heart for virtue which takes humility of mind by His grace. This cannot be a reality for those of the FRS because the very tokens God sanctified for the transition from darkness to light cannot be possible absent from the oversight of the stewardship, and absent of truth and absent from the Comforter.
Apostles today provide the Church with the necessary tokens for Her cleansing to be prepared as a bride for Her husband.
