29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Isaiah 40 KJV
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:. Isaiah 40 KJV
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. . Isaiah 40 KJV

HOW are you going to PUT ON something YOU CAN’T SEE?
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, Mark 5 KJV
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, Mark 5 KJV
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. Mark 5 KJV
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. Mark 5 KJV
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. Mark 5 KJV
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? Mark 5 KJV
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? Mark 5 KJV
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. Mark 5 KJV
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. Mark 5 KJV
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Mark 5 KJV
What she SAW in her HEART is what she acted on in FAITH.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3 KJV
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, Ephesians 3 NIV
Everything we do has to do with our IMAGINATION.
IMAGINATION – forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses.
CREATIVE IMAGINATION – recombining former experiences or knowledge in the creation of new images directed at a specific goal or aiding in the solution of problems.
