Imagination! Is it working for me or against me?

Whatever thoughts were bombarding your mind first thing this morning, were the thoughts that was attempting to create the blue print for your day.

For example, if you woke up this morning filled with thoughts of happiness, then more than likely you were being programmed to have a happy day. Of course the opposite is also true.

The understanding I am trying to convey to you is, our thoughts create the vision or images of what we will do next or in the future. Like I said earlier it is literally the blue print for our lives. Therefore, a person’s behavior is as a result of a pattern of thoughts, which when broken down are patterns of images, pictures/vision that is guiding him throughout the course of his life.

I said all of that so that it would be easier for you to digest the biblical principles I am about to share with you, so that you can apply them for your advantage and manage the blue prints for your day to be a benefit to you.

Scripture which is biblical law says the following to us, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18. The word vision here is defined as a sequence of images or pictures in one’s mind. The word perish means to; die, to be destroyed or to expire.

With the above understanding in mind, this law is saying to us that without the mental images that bombard our minds we do not have a plan to go about our lives. In fact the minute those images/vision or pattern of thoughts cease we become immobile, directionless or moving about aimlessly with zero progress and eventually die.

Simply put, vision causes us to mentally see the beach before we get there, vision causes us to mentally see success before  we ever arrive there, vision also causes us to mentally experience failure, defeat or depression prior to the reality of it actually happening. So, this indicates that we have the power through our minds to construct our days mentally to benefit us or not benefit us. If you claim that someone messed up your day, then what you are really saying is that you allowed someone to alter the blue print you desired for that day.

Now, let me give you the second biblical principle that will show you how to manage your thoughts/vision/images, which will ultimately give you better days and a better life.

Let us analyze the following scripture in an effort to extract this powerful revelation. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:5.

Wow! Isn’t this interesting? The principle here is, we must make a conscious effort to cast down (to literally throw down or toss aside) all negative images/visions/thoughts and anything that is or gives the appearance of being above the knowledge or wisdom of God. It goes on to say that we must not only throw it out of our minds but to bring it into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ. The word captivity means to restrain, confine or to imprison something or someone.

Based on the instructions that we must cast down negative images/vision/thoughts and to simultaneously imprison or restrain these thoughts. Then it is fair to say, that to not do so, then these negative thoughts/vision/images are roaming about illegally in our minds. These illegal thoughts/vision/images now simultaneously become the seeds that will result in negative days and by extension a negative unhappy life.

Question! Who or what environment you’ve allowed to alter your blue print? Who or what have you unknowingly allowed to pollute your once positive mind? Well, who or whatever it is I strongly suggest you re-visit the principles I have mentioned with a view of making some correction and alterations to the administrator of your being, which is your mind.

Heavenly Father, Let every pattern, and sequence of evil negative thoughts, images and vision of these readers be destroyed by you in the name of Jesus Christ! Father God, let every blue print in their minds that is not of you, let it be dismantled indefinitely and replaced by your original blue print for their lives. Lord let there be a complete separation between them and that person/s or environment that has been feeding their minds with things that has exalted itself above the knowledge of you and we bring it all under the captivity of the obedience of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Amen!

Vision!

VISION: an experience in which a person, thing, or event appears vividly or credibly to the mind, although not actually present. Simply put, seeing things mentally before they are manifested physically.

Wow! What an awesome understanding of the word vision. King Solomon, the world’s wisest man that ever existed said the following as it relates to the importance of vision, “Where there is no VISION the people perish, Proverbs 29:18.

If I had to use one word to define Christianity that word would be VISION. You see, based on the understanding of the word vision it causes one to see or imagine things in existence mentally prior to its physical manifestation. Everything that exists on this earth, its blue print was etched in the minds of its creator or inventor prior to its existence. Well my friend this is what makes Christianity seperate and apart from any other religion, and that is, living now mentally what you anticipate to experience the reality of later.

Well, in terms of our Christian faith we are told to call things that are not presently manifested into existing as if they are in existence already. Now, to the natural mind this sounds completely foolish. However this is what the Christian faith is all about. The Apostle Paul told the church or Corinth in his letter to them, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned, 1 Corinthians 2:14. So vision for the believer is entirely spiritual, at the same time equates to absolute foolishness to the non-believer.

The believer must always see himself succeeding, prospering, being healed of his infirmities, living in abundance, happy and enjoying life etc, even though “reality” would falsely dictate it is not so. Nevertheless so called “reality” isn’t reality if GOD SAYS IT’S SO! The truth is, this is how his creator sees him! In fact this is his creator’s VISION of him. In my humble opinion, God is the greatest motivator, he says to us in our present disliked, disadvantage position we’re the head and not the tail, we’re above only and not beneath, we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, we are more than conquerors, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, we must give no thought for tomorrow because he has addressed tomorrow already. Our bible IS A BOOK OF GOD HIMSELF TELLING THOSE THAT WILL BELIEVE WHO THEY REALLY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLE TO IN SPITE OF BEING IN A TEMPORAL DISADVANTAGE POSITION!

Words of Wisdom Group make no mistake you receiving from God is heavily dependent on your vision in terms of your expectation of God, because his vision of you is abundantly and unequivocally clear. As proof of this scripture tells us, “According to our faith (vision) be it unto us” Matthew 9:29. Suggesting, whatever vision we have of ourselves and our belief in that vision, we will be a participant of that vision one day.

My advice; create a vision in your mind with things that are positive and how you desire to see yourself in the future, begin to see yourself being debt free, owning your own home, putting your kids through college, living a stress free life, doing what God has called you to do, advancing yourself through education. As a reminder God said that we can do all things through him because he’s the one strengthening us to achieve our vision.

Secondly, start behaving as if it has happened to you already. When leaving work today behave as if you are going home to your own home that is fully paid off even though so call “reality” dictates that you’re still renting. When you look in your cupboards imagine it’s full to capacity but more importantly begin thanking God for what isn’t present as yet physically. Thank him for that debt free home; thank him for college tuition being paid in advance. Act as if that previous bad relationship was just a stepping stone for the vision of what you truly desire to have, and thank him for a body that has been healed. BEHAVE AS IF IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. LET YOUR CONVERSATIONS AND ACTIONS FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD BE POSITIVE AS IT RELATES TO WHAT YOUR VISION AND EXPECTATION FROM GOD IS.

It is up to you my friend, life and death is in the power of YOUR TONGUE! Couple with that, Jesus said, “According to your faith (vision) be it unto you. I hope this has encouraged you, and even though I am the one writing this under the influence of the Holy Spirit I am presently being encouraged as well, as I type this simple reminder from the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is presently echoing in my spirit right now, “If you delight yourself in me I will give you the desires of your heart, Psalms 37:4

“WHATSOEVER THINGS YOU DESIRE WHEN YOU PRAY BELIEVE THAT YOU’VE RECEIVE IT AND YOU SHALL HAVE IT” Mark 11:24.
