Hey, how good is that?

The Bible has stated for millennia and science is now declaring that images held in your heart will affect and manifest themselves in various aspects of your life. A correct biblical image of God and yourself can set you free, keep you free, and help propel you into the fullness of what God intends for your life and your effectiveness throughout it. You will be encouraged and well equipped in obtaining and maintaining strong biblical images by the powerful truths spoken of in Proverbs Chapter 4.

Pastor Barney continues in the great importance of having the proper biblical image of God and yourself and how this greatly affects various areas of your life. Also covered is the fact that your heart is a virtual canvas. It is vitally important to let God’s word paint the right images on it and to strongly and consistently guard against wrong graffiti be painted and established in its place.

The ability to imagine is awesome in its scope and effect. The imagination can bring about freedom or bondage. It can be the birthing place of much good or much evil. The images it holds of God and yourself can make all the difference between victory or defeat and the fulfillment or lack thereof concerning God’s best for your life. Be encouraged and strengthened as you experience this eye-opening and hope giving message.
