I've quoted Sinclair Ferguson regarding the need for proper weighting and sequencing of indicatives v. imperatives and Don Williams' great point that "in true Kingdom preaching, the imperative always follows the indicative." But Peter Cockrell posts a more comprehensive piece regarding that importance - become who you are!
Imperative - “Indicating authority or command; urgent, necessary” (Webster’s). An imperative is a statement of what one must do.
Indicative - “Designating that mood of a verb used to express an act” (Webster’s). An indicative explains what is true. It is not a command but expresses the rationale behind the command.
