Our imagination is one of the most important parts of our mind. It gives us the ability to see the impossible. It helps us see the unseen. Through our imagination we are given the opportunity to be creative. This is something that reflects the personality of God more than any thing else.
Our imaginations are so important, that the imagination has become a major battle ground for the destruction of humanity. No other time in history has it been more possible to access visual images, sounds, music, or material that is negative or defiling to the imagination.
Pornography and violence probably do more damage to the imagination than anything else. Both of these things become limits on the soul. There are millions of people today who have stunted or deadened because of their exposure to this heightened form of ugliness.
The holy imagination becomes a place where God can interface with us. When we have a cleansed imagination, we can hear the things God tells us, about ourselves, about the world, and about himself, and we can receive. Not only that, we begin to discover that nothing is impossible with God. Our wildest imaginations can be come reality. There are no limits to what God can do if we yield ourselves to him. The Bible talks about taking every thought captive to the will of God. This is how we maintain our imaginations. Paul tells us that “no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind as ever conceived the glorious things that God has prepared for those who have believed.”
If you feel you have defiled your imagination, you can pray the following prayer:
Lord Jesus, I have looked on things that were unholy, and I have been defiled by them. I know that my imagination is the platform you use to change me, and change the world. I give me imagination to you, and I ask you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to cleanse the imaginations of my heart.
(if images begin to appear, take your hand, and pull them out of your thoughts, keep doing this till no more appear.)
Thank you for healing my imagination, help me to hear, see, and do what you want me to do. Fill my imagination with a sense of the holy, the good, and the beautiful, in Jesus name. Amen.

Here is a bit of ministry time with Bob Jones at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. It was like a ten minute conference.

Over the past three years I have had a number of encounters with angels. I write about 2 of these experiences in my book The Glory of a Wasted Life. About 2 weeks ago I stumbled on a number of videos claiming to capture angels on tape. It is the firm belief of this writer that angelic activity is increasing, as we enter into one of the greatest transitions in human history.

Now I am a little more jaded than the average bear, so I was immediately skeptical. But, compared to what I saw in real life (and in one instance witnessed by a friend), I have to say these videos look like angels.

The first was filmed in Honduras. A quick caveat, I don’t claim that this is actual footage of an angel. It just looks like the angels I have seen. One part of this clip that gives me pause is how the angel seems to follow the camera movement. If it’s a hoax, then it was created by someone who knew how angels look.

The second clip is also from Latin America, and is somewhat less dramatic, but is also a pretty accurate depiction of an angel. Once again, I can’t say if this is real footage that has not been doctored.

I have saved the best for last. Here is a clip of a guy who sees an angel. His response is priceless. If nothing else, this is one more sign to me that a supernatural worldview is key to understanding what’s happening all around us.
