Genesis 6:1-5 & Genesis 3:1-7
- Sin was conceived in their thoughts.
- In the imagination of the thoughts of their hearts.
- Eve's thought of doubt led to imaginations she wasn't supposed to have.
- Satan didn't lie to Eve, she didn't understand the spiritual consequences. Eve chose to go against God.
Matthew 4:1-11
- Jesus did more than not eat or drink. He forsook His flesh.
- The first thought was doubt.
- The same tempter that came to Jesus comes to us daily.
- Satan wanted Jesus to image the possiblities of what He could do, if He is the Son of God.
- Jesus gave Satan the Word back, just like Eve did, but Satan still came back again to tempt.
- In response to Jesus, Satan responded with a true thing, he did not lie.
- Jesus continued to fight Satan, Eve didn't.
- Jesus didn't dwell on the evil imaginations, he clung to His Father. Eve began to think about what Satan said and saw that it was good to the eye.
Genesis 6:6
- Our evil imaginations grieve God at his heart.
2 Corinthians 10:1-7
- Our warfare & strong holds are the imaginations that need cast down.
- These imaginations exalt themselves against the knowledge of God.
- They must be cast down and bring them into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
- The fight is not in the outward appearance, it is all in the mind.
Imaginations that we should have in the Lord
- How the works that Jesus did could also be done for us.
- That we are forgiven.
- That He can heal us.
- That He can feed us.
- That He can lead us.
- That He can protect us.
- The glory of Heaven.
Isaiah 64:4
- We should imagine more of what God has prepared for us.
Matthew 13:57-58
- Jesus won't preform His wonderful works if we live in unbelief, evil imaginations.
