THINKING THE TRUE - The First Step of Imagination and Faith LILACLADY JUNEBUG2

 THINKING THE TRUE

                        1st  of  Seven  Steps

                     Of Imagination and Faith

      

           Philippians ch. 4. v. 8

    Finally, Brethren, whatsoever

things are true,

whatsoever things are honest,

whatsoever things are just,

whatsoever things are pure,

whatsoever things are 

lovely,

whatsoever things are 

of good report;

If there be any virtue,

and 

if there be any 

praise, 

think on these things.

Philippians 2.12 - 13

Wherefore, my beloved,

as ye have always obeyed,

not as in my presence only,

but in my absence,

work out your own

salvation 

with fear and 

trembling, 

v.12 For it is 

God which worketh

in you both to will

and to do 

His good pleasure.

                  

Little Church in the Valley 

Hemlock-Stabler - Carson, WA

was our church from

1984 - 1988 

        Henry was still working for 

the U S F S and was 

working as a 

Forest Technician

while Pastoring 

this church.

We had many blessed memories

there.   The church is no 

longer in existence,

but we had dear hearts

joined together

in service with 

our precious Lord Jesus 

Christ.

As I look at the truth 

that God

sent His Only Begotten

Son 

into this world

to 

save us 

and 

to 

pay the price

of our 

redemption

I cannot 

find any

greater 

truth 

than this.

Jesus told Nicodemus

Ye must be born again.

There is an earthly birth.

But you must have 

a birth into

the spiritual 

world.

Again 

Jesus told 

Nicodemus

"that God so loved the world

that He gave his only 

begotten Son

that whosoever

believeth 

on him 

should not 

perish,

but have 

everlasting life.

The first step is to

think 

thoughts

principles

philosophy

and

science

in ways 

that 

give 

us more 

of the facts 

so that we 

can 

decide for 

our very 

own selves

that we

may

know the truth.

To think something

is to think

on 

those

things

in

the mind.

We first must

think.

The Scientific Method

begins by 

collecting 

the facts.

So ask your self

What ? 

is true that I want 

to see in my life?

What is true that 

I need to keep close

to my way

and to

direct my 

path 

in life's devious 

journey? 

I need to make a list

of things

I consider 

T R U E.

My beginning point 

as a Believer 

is to think 

of what Jesus said, 

John 14.6 

I am the way, 

the truth,

and 

the life. 

No man cometh 

unto the Father

but by me."  

 So this, for me,

is 

the 

FIRST TRUTH

in 

finding 

Truth.

There are many paths

and much

Many folk never 

find certain truth

in their life.

But that does not mean

Truth 

is relative.

It only means that

many reject the 

real truth 

because it is too much

and 

very biased 

they say.

We all have biases in our lives.

All of us have things that 

we do or do not do 

depending on 

how we were

raised,

what we were taught

and 

how we were 

treated.

Many times 

things that make 

no sense 

happened,

and some 

people never

find what they 

think could be true.

So I say, 

YOU CAN START FIRST

BY LETTING 

GOD'S WORD 

be what it is.

It is His Book 

from cover to cover

and God

in His Wisdom

BREATHED 

it 

throu His Dear Holy Ghost 

The Holy Spirit

We all are living 

human beings.

We are those 

who have 

the 

BREATH  of GOD

that has been given 

us to live.

Genesis 1.1 

In the beginning God created 

the Heaven and the Earth.

Jesus said in 

John 8.12  

I am the Light of the world; 

He that followeth me 

shall not walk in 

darkness, 

but shall have the 

light of life.

To look at what is 

TRUE 

we need to examine it 

we need to think it through

we need to establish our selves

in that which is true

and 

to turn from all

that is not true.

Psalm 1  pictures the 

person who 

is 

TRULY  RIGHTEOUS

TRULY GODLY

1. Blessed is the man that 

walketh not in the counsel of 

the ungodly; nor standeth 

in the way of sinners; nor

sitteth in the seat of the 

scornful;

2. But his delight in in the 

law of the LORD and in 

his law he doth meditate

day and night.  

So let me say this.

To meditate day and night

on the 

words that God has given us

will do either one 

thing or the other.

What we think about 

will become our 

life style.

What we spend timeto 

to consider and to 

receive unto myself

the words 

into my life stream

begins 

to 

shape 

the way that I live.

I John 1. 1 - 4

tells us what the elder

Apostle John wrote to his 

beloved flock that was now 

being persecuted 

and scattered 

everywhere.

He was an old man

and now needed

to write the Christians

who were being told 

that Jesus was not really 

God 

and that He really only was 

not what they had been told.

Gnosticism was rising in which

they taught 

that good and evil

alway existed together

and we could not 

really deternine 

T R U T H 

John says this to 

these scoffers who

are seeking to

sawy the Believers

"1. That which was from the beginning

which we have heard, which we have 

seen with our own eyes,  which 

we have looked upon, 

and our hands handled, of 

the Word of life; 

2. (For this life was manifested

and we have seen it, and 

bear witness, and shew unto you

that eternal life, which was with the Father,

and was manifested unto us;)

3. That which we have seen and heard

we declare unto you, that ye also

may have fellowship with 

the Father,

and with His Son Jesus Christ.

4. And these things 

write I unto you 

that your joy may be full.

Jesus, Jesus 

How I trust Him

How I've proved Him 

O'er and o'er

Jesus ! Jesus ! 

Precious Jesus ! 

O for Grace 

to trust Him more ! 

We will consider 

7 Steps of 

Imagination and 

Faith 

which in realization

and experience 

are repeated 

over 

and 

over

will result

in the 

making 

- the constitution

of - 

C H A R A C T E R  

A  Godly person 

is just someone 

who 

knows and loves

and respects 

God in their life

and

they will 

reflect His likeness

as they pass 

through 

life.

The ungoldly 

person is 

just 

someone 

who does not 

know 

God 

and who really

is not at all 

concerned with

who or what 

or why of things

except just 

to be able to 

do as he 

or 

she 

pleases. 

 

JESUS 

SAID 

He that seeth me 

seeth the Father. 

   John 14. 7, 9 

We will look at the TRUE

This step is

thinking 

the 

ideas

that 

generated 

the roots 

of our

faith.

iN STEP II, WE

NEED TO PICTURE 

WITH CONCRETE 

ART, 

AND  

IN MY WRITING

GRAPHICALLY

SET DOWN

SOME

PICTURES 

OF 

WHAT  i 

WOULD 

THINK

i

WOULD

SAY IS 

BEAUTIFUL

AND 

WORTH WORKING

TOWARD.

GETTING AN 

IDEA OF WHAT

I WANT TO BE 

LIKE IN MY LIFE.

 i  will 

look at the     

BEAUTIFUL 

BY 

VIZUALIZING

THE TRUTH

After i have begun

to analyze what

i think

then

 I can 

begin

to vizualize 

and set goals

for myself.

This now leads me

to the Third 

step of Imagination

and Faith

Which is  

LISTING WHAT 

MOTIVATION 

IS AVAIBLABLE 

TO ME 

IN 

THE NEEDS 

I HAVE

WHICH

COMPEL

ME TO CHANGE

IN WAYS 

AND LIFE STYLE 

THAT COULD

HELP ME

MEET 

THOSE 

NEEDS.

This steop may 

be a bit harder,

for it is 

a matter 

of checking 

my interest 

my desires

evaluating my 

motives

as to 

Wy ? 

What for? 

What result would I 

like to see?

What do I think 

could be? 

So thinking on the 

G O O D 

THE BEAUTIFUL

AND 

THE 

TRUE  

IS NOW 

MAKING ME 

READY FOR  STEP FOUR

IV. 

CHOOSING  

In choosing

I purpose

to pursue

my goals

In choosing

I set myself

to 

trusting

in 

faith 

and 

imagining 

THE RIGHT 

AVOIDING THE FALSE

TURNING AWAY

FROM

NOT 

SO 

GOOD

\TO 

THE 

GOOD.

IN CHOOSING

FROM

GOOD

BETTER

AND 

BEST 

TO 

FIND THAT 

WHICH IS 

BEST 

IN GOD'S WILL

FOR ME.

II COR. 4.6

For God, who commanded

the light to shine out of 

darkness, hath shined in 

our hearts, to give the 

light of the knowledge 

of the glory of God 

in the face of 

Jesus Christ.

ii Corinthians 5.7 

FOR WE WALK BY FAITH

NOT BY SIGHT.

In my next post  I will

discuss the 

 STEP -5  PLANNING

 THE WAYS

AND 

MEANS 

AND

STEP   6

WHICH IS SCEDULING

PRACTICAL WAYS

OF ACHIEVING

WHAT MY

GOALS ARE

AND

STEP   7

DOING IT

IN EXPERIENCE

AND  

REALIZATION

OF IT

REACHING

THE SHORT

TERM

AND

LONG 

TERM GOALS.

tHIS WILL BE THE HOW

OF THINGS i  DO

tHESE WILL

BE

NEXT TWO POSTS

It was Mr. Weand's Seven Stepos of Imagination and Faith that
