7. Habitual behavior starts as a thought then moves to words and then transitions into deeds. In other words, it progresses from an image to an imagination to an “imagine-action.” 1 Corinthians 5 lists some very serious sin issues. These issues, dependant on what level they have reached, could take anywhere from 21 days to 90 days to change the habitual pattern. We may not all have these sin issues but we all have some issues. What level are you dealing with right now?

1^st - Image (thoughts: hurt, fear, lust, anger, frustration, etc…)

2^nd - Imagination (word )

3^rd - Imagine-action (deed)
