One of the most significant ways that you can imagine with God is in a secret and hidden place. That means a time and place that you are learning how to hear the voice of your Shepard. It’s in the secret place that you let the mysteries of the Bible and the trials of triumphs of life find purpose and meaning.

It’s in the deep secret place with Jesus where God’s imagination lies and Satan’s imagination dies. Satan’s imagination is anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, poverty, and despair. God’s imagination is free, pure, vibrant, refreshing, creative beyond measure, and all-consuming. When you’re in the secret place, you are so in tune with His voice and truth that Satan’s imagination can’t take any shape. In the secret place, you are safe as Abba’s child.

It’s very vulnerable. It's a growing pain. You have pressed into that feeling of vulnerability and try to discover what is it that is holding you back from peacefully being with your creator. Comfortability and peace are not the same things; you may need to press into the discomfort (especially if the vulnerability is uncomfortable for you) in order to meet peace. It’s an honor when you learn how to be silent with Jesus because you are giving Him space to talk.

When you don’t know what to pray, just say “Thank you.” The Message says, “‘Thank you’ is the password into His presence.”

Stepping into the imagination with God through the Word of God invites creativity in the midst of burnout and routine. It speaks life where there is death and creation when there is blank space.

God’s Word will always bring you to a place of rest, peace, and creativity. It will take you into a new thought process. Every time his Word is the missing piece.

Don’t be discouraged if you’re losing focus or feeling a little scattered while ready The Bible. When you read the Word, you begin meditating on the glory of it. And many times, the glory of the Word will reveal itself in future trials.

Prophetic words are amazing, the community is crucial, prayer is powerful, but we have got to wash our minds with the one thing that was created to wash us: The Word. The only thing that renews our mind and sanctifies our imagination is by washing our minds with the Word of God.
