For the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth (Gen 8:21).And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Gen 6:5).“Feel” the definition of “ yetser” by meditating on all nine times it is found in the KJV Bible Look at how the KJV translates “ yetser” the nine times it appears in the Bible If we truly trust in Him, our imagination will steadfastly see and frame up and form all He has promised to us, and nothing else. By it we can be co-creators with Him, releasing His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. By it we can create our own heaven or hell on earth. I believe it is one of the ways in which we most strongly reflect His image.
God has given us an incredible gift in our imaginations. If I imagine I will be accepted, I send out a message saying, “Accept me.” I act according to what I am imagining, and acceptance is what I create. If I enter a situation seeing myself being rejected, I send out a message to all saying, “Reject me,” and I act in such a way as to promote being rejected. What I imagine will have created a reality of a healthy body, loving relationships and a strong spirit. I will speak with love and understanding to my family. My body will relax and function at its peak.

My inner picture, my imagination, will have created a reality of a sick body wracked with pain and strained or broken relationships with those who are most important to me.īut if instead I see in my mind’s eye God’s promises that He will never leave me or forsake me - that my God will supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus - if I picture instead the truth that I have been young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor their children begging for bread – if I focus my mind on the times when the Lord has met my needs in the past - if I see that God, MY God, holding that stack of unpaid bills, I will feel excited to see what He is going to do for me! I will be full of faith and peace and joy. I will be impatient with my spouse and children. My stomach will begin to churn my head will pound. If all I can see in my mind’s eye is a stack of unpaid bills and a bank account with a balance near zero, I will live in fear, doubt, worry and anxiety. What I picture in my mind creates inner states of peace or unrest. My imagination creates the form on which my reality is built. Without imagination there would be no creativity in the world. The architect “sees” the building then plots out the specifications. The musician “hears” the melody that he inscribes on paper. The sculptor “sees” the beautiful form in the block of marble. The creative person will see or hear in his mind before he releases it in the physical. Imagination is the first step to creation. I memorized this verse as “The steadfast of mind…” but it is correctly translated, “The steadfast of imagination You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You.” Imagination “frames up” one’s realityĪccording to Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, the Hebrew word “ yetser,” translated mind in this verse (Strong’s #H3336) means imagination, which forms and frames up. "The steadfast of mind ( “Yetser” = imagination) You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You (Isa.
