It was a life-changing revelation when God taught me that “my emotions are byproducts of the pictures I gaze upon." In my study of health, I also learned that emotions turn my immune system on or off. This, in turn, greatly impacts my health. Finally, I have discovered that my energy to press forward to fulfill my destiny is strongly impacted by my emotions.

Pictures impact: emotions, immune system, reasoning, actions, destiny

Fixing our eyes on Jesus and seeing Him alive in every moment of our lives is the ONLY way to live the fully abundant life (Heb. 12:2; Lk. 24:13ff). We are to imitate Jesus' lifestyle. Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing. Any picture I gaze upon in my visual bank that does NOT include Jesus in it, alive and communicating, is an evil imagination which takes me backward and not forward (Jer. 7:24).

Our Wonderful Counselor & Constant Companion Is Jesus at Our Right Hand

When we intentionally present the eyes of our heart to Jesus to fill, the following occurs:

1. Awareness of Divine Presence: Jesus’ final words before departing His disciples, “Behold, I am with you always" (Matthew 28:20 Modern KJV). Seeing Jesus at our side makes this promise tangible, fostering a continuous awareness of His presence.
2. Divine Source of Strength and Courage: When facing challenges, seeing Jesus standing with us can be a powerful source of courage. As David wrote in Psalm 16:8, "I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken."
3. Divine Guidance in Decision-Making: Envisioning Jesus beside us, asking for His wisdom, and tuning to flow can help us make wise choices. We ask: "Jesus, what are You doing in this situation?" As we tune to flow, divine revelation bubbles forth as both flowing pictures and flowing words. We are drawing upon the mind of Christ.
4. Divine Empowering to Transform Character: 2 Corinthians 3:18 speaks of being "transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory." Constantly seeing Jesus alive and moving in every situation shows us the action He is asking us to take.
5. Divine Comfort in Loneliness: As we record in our journals what Jesus is speaking to us, we find He is constantly affirming His unending love, comfort, and encouragement to us.
6. Divine Accountability in Private Moments: Seeing Jesus present in our private moments can serve as a powerful deterrent to sin and a motivation for integrity, even when no one else is watching.
7. Spirit-Anointed Prayer Life: Fixing our eyes on Jesus as we pray purifies the divine flow so our journaling is a pure stream of revelation from the throne of God.
8. Divine Hope in Suffering: Hearing and seeing Jesus at our side during trials grants us a divine perspective on what we are going through and how we are to handle it.

By cultivating this practice of visually abiding in Christ as our constant companion, we open ourselves to continuous revelation and transformation. Our thoughts, emotions, actions, and reactions align more closely with His nature, leading to a life marked by greater peace, purpose, and spiritual maturity.

Journaling: “Mark, every word you speak, every thought you think, every picture you imagine, and every belief you hold which is contrary to Scripture takes you backward rather than forward; because it is evil, sinful, and wrong.”

Let's be mindful of these things and go forward in the spirit! Move ahead and make progress in the direction of your dreams. Order “The Power of Pictures” package today!
