Hello, friends of the Mustard Seed Library,
This is the beginning of quotes from the book to think about:
"Thus we come to know that Another lives within us, and in Him and using His gifts we can build the Kingdom of God on earth." page 7
"Since inner healing is a way of allowing Christ ever more freedom in every part of our lives, it is a way we can ever more completely experience the power of our salvation." also on page 7
"In inner healing prayer we use our spirits and our minds in specific ways to pray. Intuitions come from the Holy Spirit into our spirits and find expression through our imagination. If we try to express these intuitions using only our intellects our prayer will be rational and somewhat dry. This is not to say that intellect is an inferior function of our minds, but only that it is not as useful in this kind of praying as imagination is. Imagination makes our prayer come alive, for imagination is the creative function within us, the function that arranges in new ways things given to it by the other parts of our minds and spirits." page 13
Do you all think imagination is a vital part of praying? Next Monday evening, Pastor Maddox will start us on the summer Bible study schedule of watching and discussing movies. There is certainly a lot of imagination in what we see there. Looking forward to seeing what movies you come up with, Pastor Maddox. And participating in all the discussion with you readers on this blog.
God's Peace,
Sharon
