but the prodigal is on his way back home’! I spoke this word out many years ago during one of our conferences in the Netherlands. Many years have passed and one could wonder how long the road is ‘back home’. The lord started to speak to me about some of the principles that we might have overlooked when prophecies like these are given. One of those principles is that the return of the prodigal is not so much up to God as it is up to us! You see often times we wait for something to happen outside of us that will bring the solution to all of our problems. But the Kingdom works differently! It is a combination of both God and you, the believer! As a matter of fact all that is needed is already in you because of Christ. And you are part of what God is doing in your world.

As I walk the streets of Amsterdam or drive on the German autobahn from one city to another during one of our tours, I am amazed to see God all over the place! I see Him in peoples faces, in the beggar or prostitute in Amsterdam. I see Him in the eyes of an old lady that crosses the street as I wait in my car. I see Him in the beautiful architecture, an old church building, the serenity of the hills in the black forest. But it takes eyes to see beyond the natural. Someone said it this way:

‘SEE WHAT NO ONE ELSE SEES, SEE WHAT ANYONE ELSE CHOOSES NOT TO SEE
OUT OF FEAR OF CONFORMITY OR LAZINES, SEE THE WHOLE WORLD ANEW EACH DAY!’

Heaven is here….do you see it? That is what Jesus said when he preached all over Israel. He said: “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!” At hand….look at your hand…that is how close it is! Yes I know it seems that hell is here is well, but you know God left us here to actually bring heaven everywhere we go. And that starts in our heads! Now that is where the battlefield is as well! The devil has only authority here in our natural environment as well as in the sphere where he dwells (second heaven) So what he will use is the natural to abort your spiritual destiny. Will you let him do that? The old devil (hairy legs, like my wife calls him) is a defeated foe and he will only take as much authority as we will give him. So how does that happen? By believing his lies and refusing to look beyond what we see in the natural. So what are we to do?

First we must look at the TRUTH, which is another word for the ultimate reality which is Jesus Christ! Yes He is the REAL thing!! Get your spirit filled with His Word and then out of that use your imagination!

Your imagination is Gods gift to you so that you can ‘SEE’ in the ‘Spirit-Natural’ world. It is the ‘screen’ of your mind, and you determine what is played on that screen! So what are you looking at? At what the devil tries to feed you? Or will you look at what is lovely, of good report,?

'If then you have been raised with Christ, aim and seek the rich treasures that are above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. SET YOUR MINDS AND KEEP THEM SET ON WHAT IS ABOVE, NOT ON THE THINGS THAT ARE ON EARTH!' (Col 3:1-2)

This is what the Lord spoke to me some time ago and I actually put on my latest recording called ‘IMAGINE’ Read and listen to what the Lord says!

Dreamers come and see what this world of yours can look like!
Your history is unfolding according to your desires
What you live today is not who you are!
You are what you choose today, so choose LIFE so that you may live!
Enter into My world and see your posibilities from My perspective
Delight yourself in your friendship with Me
And I will make sure your dreams come through
Aren’t ‘the steps of a good man directed by the Lord?’
I have never failed the righteous or left my friends alone
You are more to me than all the wealth of this entire universe
So look up and see what you can be
You are more than what you have become!
Heaven waits for you to sing
And you’ll never be the same
Listen deeply and you’ll hear the sound
Coming from creation all around
Imagine you are more than what you have become.
Imagine you live in the realm of your Creator, born again to fully come alive? Imagine the One you worship living in you?
Imagine you are in a safe place, accepted in the One who truly loves.
Imagine you are brilliant and smart, talented and gorgeous!
Imagine you are liberated from all your fears and inhabitions!
Imagine liberating all those around you!
Imagine you are fabulous and powerful and your enemies are under your feet? Imagine nothing is impossible for you!
Imagine money is not a problem and all of heavens wealth is at your disposal! Imagine you are healthy and strong.
Imagine you have the faith of God and and are strengthened in your inner man. Imagine you are welcomed at heavens gates and told:
‘You have done well, My Child!’
Imagine all those you loved are there as well!
Imagine all your dreams coming through.
Imagine you are more than what you have become.
