God is calling us to rise up as the Sons (and Daughters) of God in order to manifest His glory. This is only possible with faith. Faith is a master key that creates and unlocks our internal doors and spiritual gateways. It is one thing to have faith IN God; it is another to have the faith OF God. The plane of faith and the degree of godly character we master determines the depth, height, width and breadth of the future we will decide to demonstrate. Faith defines the levels of God's grandeur we will choose to exhibit in our life.
Faith is not a mental attitude it is a powerful substance and creative force. It is an impartation of God's substance into a living man to bring things to pass here on earth. When God imparts faith (substance) into our spirit it becomes a reality existing in the realm of spirit. Faith is a power that takes hold of the unseen realm and creates a positive life of blessing and prosperity. Faith comes through a rhema word that imparts substance to us by God. The vision, image, or picture now exists in your heart. You see the thing hoped for or believed for and you speak it into being. Confess with the mouth and believe with the heart. Our tongue forms, controls, and defines your world.
God gives us all the spiritual knowledge we seek after, but He also gives us His knowledge concerning all matters. We mature in the knowledge of God first and foremost by reading and studying His Word. We also develop in the knowledge of God through our own individual adventures with Him. The knowledge of God is vital to our sanctification and transformation. Jesus established His essentialness to the Believer: You shall know the Truth (the living person of Jesus Christ; the logos and rhema Word of God that produces the image of God; the foundation of creation; the One who brings us into the center of God's purpose), and the Truth shall set you free (John 8:32).
The Holy Spirit also empowers our spirit to recognize, perceive and know the comings of the Spirit of God and to identify the goings of the Lord's presence. Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said: "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it" (Genesis 28:16). To change our present state of being, it is essential to take our focus off of what was and that which has hindered and left us unfulfilled or dissatisfied. Jesus asks each person, "Who do you say that I AM?" The convictions you hold about God and yourself in Christ directly determine what you display in life.
The Spirit of Christ is God-inspired consciousness; the ingenious and powerfully productive, creative energy force who skillfully imagined then spoke as He designed, formed and crafted the universe. As a result, Christ consciousness exists throughout the entire universe. Nothing was created, nothing exists and nothing holds together except in and through Christ. From before the foundation of the world, the great love of God chose each and every one of us as His very own to live in Christ. His desired destiny for us is to be adopted as the children of God, holy and set apart as His blameless Beloved.
Christ's light shining in and through the Believer causes him or her to be highlighted, promoted and favored. Like Esther, who chose to take the path less trodden and waltzed into the king's corridor and won the favor of all, we are chosen and set apart. The Christ within us emboldens our spirit to believe for the impossible. Christ ignites our faith, so that we move in great faith. We are enabled to discover and trust in God's powerful, transcendent ways. The more we trust, the more we allow God's love to flow through us.

The sky is not the limit; it's just the beginning! I was attending one of Cindy Jacob's speaking engagements in late 2018 when the Lord spoke to me. The following is a paraphrase of what He imparted: My prophets need to begin building me a platform that is large enough for Me to inhabit, to house My glory. My prophets keep postponing my coming, even with the terminology they use to prophesy—there will be a time coming, the new season will begin or in two years from now this or that will happen.
The importance of imagination far exceeds the scopes of just knowledge, for the expanses of the imagination reach beyond the known world. Before we can fully explore the awakened imagination, we must become familiar with the different knowledges that the imagination uses and draws from, their definition and their significance. Knowledge is defined as the fact or condition of knowing or being aware of something with familiarity that is gained through learning experiences, acquaintances or associations. It encompasses the range of one's learned information or level of understanding.
The Bible story in Genesis 40:1–23 tells of two individuals who had similar dreams about their jobs in the King's palace on the same night but with two very different interpretations and drastically different outcomes. The Pharaohs of Egypt commanded great power and presence. Their servants' lives often hung in the balance. To simply frown in Pharaoh's presence could result in a death sentence. The King's official cupbearer and baker had offended their master. He was enraged so he summoned the captain of the guard to arrest and confine them to the same prison as Joseph. The captain knew that there was something uniquely special about Joseph. It was evident that the hand of the Lord rested on him.
