Did you know that you can can nurture HOPE through your imagination?
Imagination is the process or power of forming a mental image of something not real or present. Your creativity and the ability to invent is linked to your imagination.
How do you see yourself?
How do you see your finances?
How do you see your future?
The world and social media are trying to mold your image.
Numbers 13:33 (NKJV) says, “‘There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.’”
Are you allowing others to tell you who you are and what you are capable of?
Mark 9:23 (NKJV) says, “Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’”
“Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results…”
― James Allen,
“Let a man radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material conditions of his life.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
“As a man thinks in his heart, that’s the way he will be, and that’s what he will get.” (Proverbs 23:7).
People should be speaking words of hope. We should be the instruments of HOPE to the world! God’s favor overrides everything else, including your current situation and circumstances. If you believe that, it will change the way you think. This will help us in what we hope for, which has a ripple effect on our imagination. We can alter our life by the way we think, by the way we see ourselves!
Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge can be great, but imagination can be even greater. Make a daily demand on your creativity.
Everything great started as someone's daydream. All people of action are first dreamers.
Genesis 11:6 (AMPC) says, “And the Lord said, ‘Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.’”
The wonder of imagination is this: it has the power to light its own fire. Unlike an airplane, your imagination can take off day or night in any kind of circumstances. Let it fly!
A genius is someone who shoots at a target no one else sees and hits it. “We are told never to cross a bridge till we come to it, but this world is owned by people who have crossed bridges; in their imagination far ahead of the crowd.” We should observe the future and act before it occurs.
One day Michelangelo saw a block of marble which the owner said was of no value. “It is valuable to me”; said Michelangelo. “There is an angel imprisoned in it, and I must set it free.”
Other people may be smarter, better educated or more experienced than you, but no single person has a monopoly on dreams, desires, or ambition.
Prov. 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision the people perish.” Not being a person of imagination causes your life to be less than it was intended to be.
A dream is one of the most exciting things there is. Your heart has eyes, which the brain knows nothing of. You are more than an empty bottle to be filled. You are a candle to be lit.
We can see ourselves on top and God will make sure to bring the right people to help get us there.
Light the fire of your imagination.
