The Battle for the Imagination | कल्पना की लड़ाई

Pastor Michael Fernandes

The sermon emphasizes that God judges not merely external actions but the hidden realm of imagination, as revealed in Genesis 6:5, where humanity's continual evil thoughts preceded the flood. This inner faculty acts as a spiritual organ for receiving divine ideas, prophetic visions, and impressions that shape destiny. Biblical examples illustrate transformation: Abram's barren image replaced by countless stars, Joseph's bowing sheaves dream, Ezekiel's visions amid exile, and Peter's shift toward the Gentiles. The enemy corrupts this realm through lust, bitterness, unforgiveness, fear, and anxiety, hindering revelation. Renewal comes by fasting with prayer to erase wrong images and meditating on God's Word (Romans 12:2; Psalm 1) to sanctify and align the mind with His will. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 01.)What does God really see and judge in a person? 02.)What exactly is the "imagination" according to the Bible? 03.)Why did God send the flood in Noah's time? 04.)How does God change a person's future or identity? 05.)Why do many believers struggle to receive prophetic words, visions, or breakthroughs from God? 06.)What are the main ways the enemy corrupts or defiles a person's imagination? 07.)How can lust in the heart be as serious as the physical act? 08.)What practical steps can someone take to cleanse and sanctify their imagination?09.)Why is meditating on the Word of God more powerful than just reading large amounts quickly? 10.)How does changing the picture in your imagination affect your life practically?

Pastor Michael emphasizes that true biblical healing and deliverance are not endpoints for personal comfort or fun, but doorways with a divine purpose: to transform people into genuine worshippers of God. Drawing from Exodus, he explains God freed Israel from 430 years of slavery not for leisure, but so they could worship Him in the wilderness. Using stories of debt cancellation, healed lepers who failed to return, and Jesus healing Peter's mother-in-law who then served others—he stresses that freedom leads to consecration, heartfelt worship in spirit and truth, and selfless service to God's people, guarding against backsliding into worse bondage. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 01.)What is the true purpose of deliverance from bondage or slavery? 02.)Why did God deliver the Israelites from 430 years of slavery in Egypt? 03.)Is deliverance the final goal for believers? 04.)What happens if someone receives healing or deliverance but doesn't pursue worship? 05.)Why do many healed or delivered people (like the nine lepers) not return to give thanks or worship? 06.)What role does worship play after healing or deliverance? 07.)Does God heal and deliver just for personal benefit? 08.)What did Peter's mother-in-law do after Jesus healed her fever? 09.)How can someone in impossible situations (like debt, eviction, or oppression) experience breakthrough? 10.)What is the ultimate sign of being truly touched by God through healing/deliverance?

The message passionately calls believers to guard the spiritual fire on the altar of their hearts and the church, ensuring it burns continually day and night, as commanded in Leviticus 6:13. When this fire dims through neglect, worldly cares, or unfaithfulness, darkness gains ground illustrated by former churches now mosques. The preacher stresses two vital flames: faithfulness in honoring appointed times for worship, prayer, and assembly without excuses, and fervent intercession as the church's lifeline.

In this powerful teaching, Pastor Michael explores the profound biblical phrase "the finger of God" from Exodus 8:19, where Egyptian magicians acknowledged God's superior power when they could no longer replicate Moses' miracle of turning dust into lice. This finger dismantles darkness in Egypt, writes the law on stone tablets in Exodus 31 to establish divine order, silences accusers in John 8 through Jesus' grace, and casts out demons in Luke 11 as the Holy Spirit's work. It delivers, convicts, brings stability through the Word, and calls for humble surrender rather than a hardened heart. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 01.)What does "the finger of God" really mean in the Bible? 02.)Why did the Egyptian magicians specifically say "This is the finger of God" instead of "the hand of God"? 03.)Is there a limit to what the powers of darkness (Satan, magicians, occult) can do?04.)What does the finger of God do to demonic/occult systems? 05.)How does the finger of God appear after the plagues (in Exodus 31)? 06.)Why do many believers lack stability or breakthrough in life? 07.)What happened when Jesus wrote on the ground with His finger in John 8? 08.)How is the finger of God connected to deliverance and casting out demons today?09.)What blocks people from fully experiencing the finger of God's power? 10.)How can I personally receive the finger of God's work in my life right now?

In this compelling sermon, Pastor Michael unpacks Jesus' ministry in Capernaum from Mark 1, showing how God starts transformation and judgment with His own people in the church before addressing the world. Jesus taught with divine authority rooted in God's unchanging Word, unlike the scribes' shifting experiences. An unclean spirit's outburst in the synagogue exposed prior spiritual darkness, but the preached truth released light and deliverance.

This sermon explores Matthew 7:7–8, warning against presuming familiarity with the well-known verse “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened.” The speaker emphasizes approaching Scripture afresh to hear God's new voice. He unpacks the threefold progression: asking as humble verbal petition rooted in relationship with the Father; seeking as passionate, wholehearted pursuit requiring effort and undivided focus; and knocking as bold, Spirit-led persistence that unlocks revelation and deeper realms. He explains why some ask but don't receive misaligned will, wrong motives, or missed timing urging believers to check motives, align with God's will, recognize seasons of favor, and receive like humble children. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 01.)

Pastor Michael explains deliverance as God's spiritual system to restore people from bondage to dominion. True deliverance brings freedom from bondage (oppressive burdens draining strength), danger, and evil. Drawing from Exodus, he describes spiritual taskmasters that trap people in repetitive cycles, generational strongholds, and manifestations like sickness, financial struggles, or broken relationships. God intervenes powerfully bringing out, rescuing, redeeming, and judging oppressors. In the New Testament, Christ delivers believers from the power of darkness, transferring them into His kingdom, granting a clear mind, inner peace, self-control, and joyful obedience to God.

Faith, Spirituality & the In-Between: What I'm Learning Right Now In today's Make It Happen Monday episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast, I'm sharing a very real, very honest reflection on faith, spirituality, and what it looks like to live in the in-between—without needing to choose sides. This conversation was sparked by a powerful weekend at Elevated Life in Edmonton, where I had the honor of being a keynote speaker in a room filled with intuitive, spiritually gifted women—psychics, mediums, healers, and leaders who are deeply connected to their inner guidance. Being in that space brought up curiosity, reflection, and a deeper inquiry into what I believe to be true about God, Jesus, spirituality, intuition, and how all of it can coexist. What We Explore in This Episode My upbringing in a very structured Christian religion and how that shaped my early relationship with God Why leaving religion didn't mean leaving spirituality—and why returning to faith didn't mean abandoning intuition How my connection to God has evolved over the years through prayer, tapping, nature, and nervous system work Attending a psychic-style group experience with Sunny Dawn Johnson—and why it didn't feel scary, dark, or “wrong” Why curiosity feels more expansive than judgment in spiritually diverse spaces The growing shift I see toward integration rather than division in both faith-based and spiritual communities What it means to trust God and trust your intuition Why success, joy, and peace don't belong to one belief system alone I also share how teachers like Joel Osteen, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and Steven Furtick have supported my faith journey—alongside spiritual voices like Gabrielle Bernstein, Marianne Williamson, and Wayne Dyer. This episode isn't about deciding who's right or wrong.It's about creating space for honest exploration—without fear, shame, or separation. Questions I Invite You to Reflect On As you listen, I invite you to gently ask yourself: What does my relationship with God or a higher power feel like right now—in my body, not just my mind? Have I ever felt pressure to choose between faith and spirituality? Where do I feel closest to God or truth in my everyday life—prayer, nature, parenting, movement, tapping? What beliefs am I allowing to evolve without needing to rush certainty? What would it feel like to trust that God meets us in the in-between, not just in certainty? A Gentle Reminder Being a Wildly Wealthy Woman has never been about money alone.It's about living a rich, grounded, meaningful life—one rooted in faith, intuition, love, and personal truth. There is room for all of us in the room.There is room for God and curiosity.There is room for faith and nervous system healing.There is room for prayer, tapping, intuition, and grace. Want to Go Deeper? If this conversation resonated and you're craving community, reflection, and grounded transformation, I'd love to welcome you into the Wildly Wealthy Woman Experience.

Midnight won't fix your life, but a decision might. We're closing the year by doing the uncomfortable work most people avoid: naming what we will leave behind so we can walk lighter, clearer, and truer. Instead of stacking new goals on old baggage, we cut off the dead weight—labels we accepted, habits that stole our time, and stories that made our struggles feel like our names.I share the line that stopped me in my tracks: sometimes you go through something so long you forget who you are. That idea reframed the whole year. We talk about the difference between trying and deciding, how language opens or closes escape hatches, and why conditions are not identity. If you've said “I'm trying to quit,” you'll hear how “I quit” changes your posture, your calendar, and your outcomes. We get practical about replacing doom scrolling, breaking negative self-talk with pattern interrupts, and building momentum through small, daily wins that compound into confidence.This conversation also leans on faith, community, and proof from your own life. You're not walking into 2026 empty handed—you're walking in with your track record, your grit, and your God-given strengths. We unpack tools to guard your inputs with a digital detox, curate voices that lift your standards, and practice self-compassion that you'd actually offer a friend.

And that verdict is, “Not Guilty.” We'll have details. And, International Servants has been making big claims about its decades of ministry work in Belize—but verifying those claims has proven more difficult. We'll take a look. Plus, Elevation Church—the North Carolina-based megachurch led by Steven Furtick—has announced the launch of Elevation College. But first, St. Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, Florida, has officially voted to leave the Presbyterian Church in America. The church, originally led by Dr. R.C. Sproul, joined the PCA in 2023. It first considered a vote to leave this summer, but delayed the vote while referring the matter to the church's board of elders, also known as its session, to study the situation and return with a recommendation. Its lead pastor, Burk Parsons, was suspended from his role as a teaching elder in the PCA in June after being found guilty by a church judicial commission of three charges related to, among other things, a “domineering” and “intimidating” leadership style, which included accusations of bullying and slander. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth.

Why Take The Longer Path?Exodus 13:17-18 “When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.” But God led the people round by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the sons of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle."I was listening to a sermon on the Elevation podcast. The pastor of Elevation church, Steven Furtick, gave a great sermon called “This May Be Plan C.” When I heard him talking about one part in particular I felt like the Lord wanted me to share it with all of you. There were many things about the sermon that stood out to me but it was almost an hour long so I can't go into all of it. However, I do recommend you check out the whole sermon as it was really good. I am just going to talk about the part that has to do with this verse.Pastor Steven was talking about how God didn't take the Israelites on the shortest path out of Egypt. The verse says, “When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near.” This makes us think that there was a way to the promised land that was shorter. And if God is explaining why He didn't take them that way, then that leads us to believe that way would have made more sense. If we are taking the quickest, easiest way, we usually don't explain why we are going that way. Everyone knows why. However, if we are taking an unexpected path, or one that is longer, we might explain why.So, why did God take them on a longer path? The verse says, “Lest the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.” God knew the people were leaving Egypt but if they ran into trouble and had to fight their way out of Egypt, they might turn around and go back. Also, God knew that the Pharaoh was going to change his mind and come after them. God knew the way of the Philistines would lead them into a situation they were not ready for yet. He also knew what was coming after them and He knew that they would need the Red Sea.I wonder if you have had a time, or maybe many times in your life when you felt like God took you on the round about way to get to where you were going? You feel like there must have been an easier and quicker way to get to where you ended up. What if we trusted that God knew what He was doing? What if we look back and try to see how God might have been protecting us from taking the easy or most quickest path because we might have encountered something we weren't ready to encounter? What if God took us the way He took us because He knew we would need something from that journey or that other path.Pastor Steven talked about how sometimes the problem we are trying to wish away is actually the answer to our prayer we have be asking from God. When the Israelites got the the Red Sea, I am sure they thought it was a problem. I am sure they saw the water on one side of them and heard the army coming up behind them and they questioned why God would lead them to this body of water when there were other paths they could have taken. I am sure they were wishing they were anywhere but in front of the Red Sea at that moment. Yet God used this perceived problem to answer their prayers. He parted that sea and allowed them to walk across it on dry ground. And then he used that water, the one they thought was a problem, to swallow up their enemy.Do you have any problems in your life that might be the answer to your prayers? It may not look like it at first. You may just look at the problem and see it as a problem. However, what if you looked at it and explored how it might be an answer to your prayers? What if you look at the path that the Lord has taken you down and try to see why that path makes sense? Is there a reason God didn't take you down the quickest easiest path? Is there something you needed to go through so that you could be the person He created you to be? Is there something you needed to survive so that you could show others they will survive it too? Was there something on that other path that the Lord knew you weren't ready to face yet?When I asked the Lord what He wanted me to teach today this is what I felt like I heard, “Teach them about how they may not be where they thought they would be. They may not have taken the path they thought they would have but if they keep walking with Me and trusting in Me then they will get there in the end. Show them I am walking with them and leading them. There is a reason I led them on the path they are on. I will help them get to where they are going. It's never too late for Me to grant your heart's desire. Don't give up asking for what you truly want. I do hear you. I am working all things for your good.”I know some of you are disappointed with the way things in life have turned out. I know some of you have been asking for some pretty big things for a long time. I know some of you really need a healing or some direction. I feel the Lord wants you to know it is coming. Your healing is coming. Your trip to Africa is coming. Your heart's desires will be fulfilled. Yes, you might be on the long road to get here, but there is a reason for that. God is putting you on the road you need to be on. Trust in Him and keep walking with Him and He will lead you to where you want to go. I really feel like He wants me to emphasize that it is NEVER too late. Don't give up. Don't feel you are too old, too young, too sick, to inexperienced, to anything. It is NEVER to late for God to fulfill your dreams. Keep asking, keep walking with Him, He won't let you down.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to the podcast today. Lord, please give us the strength to keep asking. Please help us never to give up. Please help us to walk the path you put us on, not the one we think we should be on. Please help us keep walking with you and trusting you.

Come As You Are Series: Rahab The ProstituteHebrews 11:31 “By faith the prostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.”This series is to remind us that God wants us to come as we are. He doesn't expect us to wait until we have cleaned ourselves up or changed our habits before we go to Him. He wants us to come to Him as we are, and then He can help bring us to where He wants us to be. I love the quote, “God meets us where we are and He loves us too much to let us stay there.” We don't need to change before we go to God; we need God to help us change.Today, we are talking about Rehab the prostitute. You might wonder why we are talking about a prostitute. If you don't know Rahab's story, let me summarize it for you. God told the Israelites that He would give them Jericho as their promised land. Joshua sent two spies to check out that land. The Bible says, “So they went and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and rested there.” (Joshua 2:1) Why would these holy men go to rest at the prostitute's house? Could it be because she was an outcast, and so there wouldn't be a bunch of people at her house? Is it because she is used to hiding men in her house? We don't know exactly, as it doesn't say why they went there, just that they did go there.I heard Steven Furtick of Elevation church talking about this, and he said something that I thought was really good. He said sometimes God will use what you think is a weakness as part of His plan. Joshua's men chose to stay with Rehab, maybe for the very reason she would have thought God couldn't use her. I know if I were a prostitute, I would have counted myself out by being used by God. I would have thought that my sins were too great for God to have used me in any way. However, God used Rehab to hide these two men who went to check out the land for Joshua.These men stayed with Rahab, and then the king found out there were spies in his land, and he told Rahab to turn them over. Luckily, she had already hidden them, again, something her job would have taught her to do, and so she said that they had stopped by, but they left before the gates closed for the night. Rehab knew that God had sent these two guys and that He had planned to give Jericho to His people. She helped them so that they would spare her life when they came in to take the land. These men agreed to spare her and her family as long as they were inside her house with her. They gave her a scarlet cord to put in her window so they could tell all the troops to stay out of her home.Rahab used her talents to hide these men and, therefore, gained safety for her whole family. I bet her parents never saw that coming. I bet they never expected the skills she had learned because of her profession would wind up saving their lives someday. God's ways are a mystery to us. We don't understand His plan, and yet, with His plan, He shows us time and again that He is not choosing the perfect people to carry it out. He does not choose who we would have chosen.We talked about Tamar and how she dressed like a harlot to seduce her father-in-law to sleep with her so that she could have a baby. We discussed how, out of all the lineages of Jesus listed in the Gospels, Tamar, even after tricking and sleeping with her father-in-law, is only one of five women mentioned in the lineage of Jesus. Now we have Rehab, who is a prostitute, and she is another one of the five women listed in the lineage of Jesus. It says in Matthew 1:5, “Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, and Obed fathered Jesse.”In Jewish culture, when listing someone's lineage, it is customary to include the father's name. However, in the case of Jesus, it is mostly just the father's listed. However, there are five of the mothers listed. Just five in all those years. Matthew 1:17 says, “ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the [o]Messiah, fourteen generations.” There are 42 generations from Abraham to the Messiah listed in the Gospel of Matthew, and of those 42 generations, He only mentions 5 of the mothers. Those five women must have been pretty special for God to use them to help bring forth the Messiah.Did they feel special? Did they feel abandoned? With Tamar, we know she lost her husband and was promised that his brother would be given to her when he was of age, but he wasn't. Her father-in-law betrayed her, and so she took what she felt was hers. I doubt she felt special taking it, though. I suspect she didn't feel holy enough for the Lord to use her in an incredible way like He did. With Rehab, we don't know her story. We don't understand why she became a prostitute. We don't know any back story that would provide us insight into her career choice. However, I am willing to believe she didn't feel special. I am sure she was an outcast because of her profession. The women in town probably hated her, as some of their husbands probably went to see her.Why did God choose these women to help bring about His plan to save us with Jesus? Why are these women listed in the lineage when others are not? I believe it is because God wants to show us that you don't have to be perfect to be used by God. You don't have to be doing all the right things. You don't have to get it right all the time. Life is hard, and God knows that. He understands if we get lost and follow the wrong path in life. He is not condemning us or holding it against us. He is just patiently waiting for us to come back to Him.We mustn't count ourselves out. God can use us, no matter what we have done in the past. God will love us, no matter what we have done in the past or what we are doing now. He still loves us more than anything. Rehab was a prostitute, and yet her name made it into the lineage of Jesus. She is also mentioned two other times in the New Testament. One of those is the verse above. “By faith the prostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.” Rahab was not one of the chosen people of the time. She didn't see God part the Red Sea so she could walk through. She didn't see the manna sent from God every day to feed his people.She didn't see any of these miracles, but she did hear about them. She heard about them, and she believed them so much that she was willing to risk her life to hide the men of God so that they might spare her and her family's lives when they came back to conquer the land. Her faith in a God she didn't know was so great that she was willing to risk it all. There are many lessons we can learn from Rahab. One is that we don't need to be afraid to take risks when God is involved. Second is that God can use anyone for His plan. Third is that God may want to use that very thing that you feel is your greatest weakness, that very thing that fills you with so much shame. God can turn that shame into something you can be proud of if you let Him. Don't shut God out because you don't feel worthy. Ask Him to come into the messiness and allow Him to love you right where you are!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, we love you, and we ask you to help us know that you love us, too. Help us to believe that just as you did for Rahab, you can redeem us too. You can use us even though we are not perfect and we have made a lot of mistakes. Please help us to believe that we are exactly the type of person you could us to help bring your kingdom to earth. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Brandon Lake is one of the biggest names in the contemporary Christian music scene. His hit song Hard Fought Hallelujah has only boosted his mainstream popularity, especially after teaming up with the wildly successful Jelly Roll. Some see the collaboration as a compromise, others as an opportunity to reach the lost. But in a recent interview with Jelly Roll, it seems Brandon Lake may be taking a page out of his friend and co songwriter Stephen Furtick's playbook using Scripture out of context to soften the blow of the gospel message. Furtick once told Charlamagne the God that Jesus's words in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life" weren't exclusive but actually inclusive. Now, Lake, in similar fashion, tells JellyRoll that Jesus built his church on homosexuals and adulterers who didn't receive grace. Is this the truth wrapped up in compassion? Or is this compromise dressed up as outreach?

Disgraced pastor Perry Noble gets his WrestleMania walkout song played by the church worship team as they choose AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" as a funny way to introduce him. We take a look at prominent figures such as Rick Warren, Greg Laurie, Carl Lentz, Steven Furtick and others who have seemingly loved to meditate on the works of artists like the Beatles, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin in their private life only to have their devilish desires played out for their congregations.
