Imagery

Ezekiel 8:12 talks about the room of pictures - our chamber of imagery. Visually we take in pictures and video all day. Some are registering in the conscious mind and some are not. Our imagination is full of these archived pictures and they play back. Fantasy is a totally positive reality that is fed by desire but not realistic. If what is received glorifies God than it produces a healthy imagination which increases faith. Impure fantasies produce double mindedness and kill intimacy. The plague of lust and sensual fantasy kills robs and destroys the soul. The devil is a liar and distracts with the smoke screen of fantasy. Keep your head in the game!

Keys to victory:
1) Accountability partner - can’t manage flesh must be held accountable
2) Fill your heart with the Word. Empty heart gives way to an wandering mind.
3) Identify triggers - Stress, hunger, tired, angry,lonely. Guard down, pre-planning.
4) Pattern of behavior - track when you get tempted - pre-plan a provision
5) Make no provision for the flesh - Take away the tool of sin
6) Recognize spiritual warfare and that the devil is trying to take you out! Dont be casual - be proactive. Keep short accounts with God.
7) Realize consequence - embarassment to the testimony of God and to those that you love. Potential loss of those family and friends. Grieving the spirit and process of discipline. Your sin will find you out! Num 32:23.

Ezekiel 13:18-22 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. (KJV)
21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

Prov 6:26 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
