Why do you think God give us imagination? Let’s go to the beginning, Genesis 1:26-28 In Genesis 1:26-28: Then God said “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” ....“Us”, this is God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus discussing a vision.
The “act” takes place in verse 27. "So God created humankind in his image, in the image God he created them; male and female he created them."
And last, he prophesies over his vision and act in verse 28. "God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
Look at the blue print God has given us.
First we SEE our vision by using our imagination
---Imagination- the act or power of forming mental image of something not present to the senses.
Second we act toward the VISION
---Act - a state of real existence rather than possibility
Third we SPEAK life into the vision, expecting it to manifest
---Manifestation- a perceptible outward, visible expression, or materialization and (my favorite) a public demonstration of power and purpose
Now, understand our imagination is very powerful; you can create negative outcomes into your life, just as strong as positive ones. Think about it, everything you do first starts out in a thought. Before you picked up the phone, you THOUGHT about who you were going to call. Before you got dressed today, you THOUGHT about what to put on. Everything starts with a thought, a vision. You can control your actions and your destiny by controlling your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome
Tap into the thoughts of God. Allow him to show you his THOUHTS for your life, by using your imagination. Ask God to show you his will, get into the Word for your self. See the vision, act on it, and begin to prophesy over the manifestation.
We have the keys to success by God who is in us; we just have to be able to recognize it and put it in our basket.
It never ceases to amaze me how God uses ordinary people everyday to make an extraordinary impact on individual lives as well as His kingdom. As I read these entries, I could actually hear the voice of God speaking through you. The words were not only inspirational , but thought provoking. That is what drew me in, the fact that it wasn't just feel good words, but it made me pause and think about my own life. You talk about the pause that refreshes!!! I can relate to Paul, when he talks about the outward man perishing, but the inward man being renewed day by day. After reading your words, my inward man has been replenished. I am thankful to have the blessing of actually knowing you and being able to see the hand of God on your life. As I was reading, the words of my late Grandfather came to mind, that "one person speaking the Word of God is a majority." Keep speaking it, keep writing it, and keep living it. We need to read, see, and hear the words over and over again.

Vision has always been the key to my success. I always invision my goals being accomplished before I make my first move. I see it, speak it, write it then do it!!! Thanks for providing scripture to support that. You are doing wonderful things here!
