Scientists have been telling us for many years that the two sides of our brains respond differently to different stimuli.

In fact, the left hemisphere of the brain is a side that is associated with logical analysis and rational judgment.

The right side of the brain is where you find the visual imagery

and the word pictures and emotional responses, etc. You can find that with your kids when they're

around three, four, or five. And if you want to know exactly which way they're going to be bent,

if they kind of draw in definable borders, and they color inside those borders,

and they're most likely going to be left-side brain dominance, and if they're kind of free-spirited

and color everywhere, then you know they're going to be right-side brain dominance.

But regardless of which side of the brain is dominant in each of us,

imagination, which is on the right side, is indispensable for all the believers.

So what is imagination?

And why is it important for loving Jesus intimately?

See, imagination is the capacity to make us connect between the visible and the invisible.

It does.

It is the ability to make connection between earth and heaven.

And that's why you hear people say, well, there's so much heavenly minded of no earthly good.

See as Lois came in and said, no, only those who are heavenly minded are of any earthly value.

It is the ability to make the connection between this world and the next world, the world to come,

the seen and the unseen.

In fact, if you read the scripture and you look at it from this point of view, you discover

this connection between those two operations and they go in tandem.

They operate together. What are the two operations? Well, the information and the imagination.
