58.Sunday- 3nd week - The Chosen : imagination to perception.

The anointing makes all the difference of imagination to perception.

Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

A chosen person is one who responds to, accepts, and acts upon a divine invitation or call through baptism.

Isaiah 8:18 Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me: we are signs and portents in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

Isaiah 8 : 23  Now he has glorified the land across the Jordan, Galilee of the Nations.

Galilee of the Nations or Gentiles became a place of glory. 
Even though you seemed insignificant in your own eyes and to others, the anointing makes all the difference of imagination to perception.
The anointing removes the limitation of how others see you or how you see yourself and replaces it with how God sees you—equipped, chosen, and capable of fulfilling a specific mission. 

Imagination: "I hope God provides."
Perception: "I see God providing right now."
Imagination: "Maybe I can overcome this."
Perception: "I know I have the victory".

Imagination: Seeing the "What If" Without Anointing : A human-only perspective. It is conceptual, mental, and often limited by fear, doubt, or past experiences. 
The Anointing: The Catalyst : The anointing is the empowerment, indwelling, and present .It breaks yokes, enables, and accelerates God's purpose in a person's life. It makes difficult tasks feel natural, bringing a "freshness" and "quickening" to the spirit. 
Perception: Seeing the "What Is" With Anointing : The ability to see the invisible, hear the inaudible, and know the unknowable through the Spirit. The anointing illuminates the mind to understand and apply God's truth, transforming a theoretical concept into a lived experience. 

1 Corinthians 1:17 Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel.

Rather than focusing on results, the chosen focus on Truth, which is reflected in their actions. This inspires others to believe in Jesus, leading to baptism as an act of faith.

Matthew 4:17   Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
