The Hebrew word ‘yetzer” means conception. The Word prepared for us remains in a dormant state until we get the revelation of the power and authority granted to us by Our Heavenly Father. Once the Word is conceived and grows in our hearts, the fruit of that revelation will move from its dormant state of potential to the fruitful, operational state.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 26:
1 A day is coming when this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“The city is a stronghold for us!
The Lord’s salvation, like inner and outer walls,
makes it secure.
2 Open the gates and let a righteous,
faith-filled people enter in.
3 Perfect, absolute peace surrounds those
whose imaginations (yetzer) are consumed with You;
they confidently trust in You.
Our imaginations should reflect what is written in our individual books which reside in Heaven (Psalm 139:16) and are accessible to us. The adversary knows this Truth as well thus he attempts to pervert our imaginations by promoting vain imaginations which are perversions initiated by the world. They appeal to the flesh and the soul in an attempt to divert our attention and priorities to the carnal.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 14:
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink (the physical), but is in the realm of the Holy Spirit (the Spiritual realm), filled with righteousness, peace, and joy. 18 Serving the Anointed One by walking in these Kingdom realities pleases God and earns the respect of others.
Our imaginations should be initiated in the Spiritual and then manifested in the physical once conception (a fertilized seed) has grown in the womb of our hearts ultimately bringing forth the intended fruit. People ignorant of the Spirit realm cannot understand this process and will even become enemies of those who confess the Truth tied to the seed. They will accuse us of being liars simply because they don’t understand the higher Truth. We must not be moved by those people walking in their ignorance.
Isaiah continues:
4 Yes, trust in the Lord Yahweh forever and ever!
For Yah, the Lord God, is your Rock of Ages!
5 He knocks down the high and mighty,
and the lofty city He humbles and levels down to the dust,
6 to be trampled down by the feet of the poor and exploited.”
7 The path of the righteous is smooth and level;
God, the Just One, You make a clear path for them.
FATHER will make your path smooth and level. This path is known as the highway of Holiness. As our faith becomes great, the path takes on these qualities and we are no longer frustrated with the world.
8 Yes, we will follow Your Ways, Lord Yahweh,
and entwine our hearts with Yours,
for the fame of Your Name is all that we desire.
I am not interested in taking credit for any fruitfulness that people observe in my life. Jesus gets all the credit! Left to my own devices, I would remain in the proverbial ditch! All of these teachings are ultimately about Jesus and are intended to point to Him, Our Elder Brother, our Perfect Example.
9 At night I yearn for You with all my heart;
in the morning my spirit reaches out to You.
When you display your judgments on the earth,
people learn the ways of righteousness.
Now that Jesus has provided us with full restoration, people can learn the ways of righteousness by our fruits of righteousness. We should now be advertisements on display.
10 But when mercy is shown to scoundrels,
they still aren’t able to learn righteousness.
Even in a land of integrity, they still do wrong,
for they ignore the great majesty of the Lord Yahweh.
11 Lord Yahweh, you lift Your mighty hand,
but they do not see it.
Let them witness how much You Love Your people
and be ashamed.
Let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.
Once people are given the opportunity to repent because they have encountered the Good News of Jesus Christ, if they reject the opportunity, they will suffer judgment. It will utterly consume them.
12 Lord Yahweh, You will establish peace and prosperity for us,
for all we have accomplished is the result
of what You work through us.
We should experience peace and prosperity at a personal level. If you can’t conceive of this reality, you will not walk accordingly. This is why we must focus on the Scripture, Its Integrity, and embrace the Truths in our hearts. It is the beginning of conception (righteous imagination). When this occurs, we will be on the way to the fullness of HIS power and authority operating in our lives.
We will fully embrace all the directives of Jesus because we finally and fully trust in the Integrity of His Word.
