Your Imagination...has the power to walk you in victory or destroy you

Imagination...use as God instructs and you will walk in victory...ignore His instructions and it will destroy  you.
God gives each of us an imagination to see what He sees. He is before all things and holds all things together (Col 1:17). Our mind houses our imagination. Our imagination allows us to see places we've never been or go back in time as if we were actually there. God gives us the

freedom to guide and instruct our imagination to our desired destination. While planning a trip in our mind-we launch our imagination and it will take us around the world within seconds. Although we didn't physically go anywhere, our mind launched our imagination-allowing us to visit where we physically did not go. We can elicit all five senses and recall an event from 30 years prior, our heart races when we think about a long awaited event, our stomach flutters if we're nervous about a meeting, we design outfits, plan parties, have conversations with another person, and move furniture in a room...in our mind. We must use our imagination as God instructs us-with His promises. The enemy wants to hijack our imagination, imposing his deception-leaving us discouraged with no hope.
Our mind receives information from two thought sources-truth or lies. Truth comes from God and lies come from the enemy. When we make a decision to agree with God's truth, we use our imagination to see what He says...we're fearfully and wonderfully made, He delights in us, we borrow from none and lend to many, we can do all things through Him, we have the mind of Christ, we are not worried or anxious, we soar like an eagle, He's for us and not against us, when we're weak He's strong, He will never leave us or forsake us because...He loved us first. The enemy wants to hijack our imagination-imposing his lies of discouragement. If we allow him access to our imagination, he will flood us with scenarios that are hopeless like...not to expect God to come through for us, we don't have what it takes, our needs won't be met, we're selfish, we want too much, things will remain the same with no hope of change, we're foolish for believing, we've messed up too much, we had our chance but now it's too late, and on and on.
Utilize the power of our imagination the way God instructs us-to see as He sees. We can have a confident expectation of hope when we see no indicator of hope in the natural...because we see with the imagination God gives us.
Change your family's future...fulfill the dreams God placed in your heart, believe what God will do in your life by using the power of imagination the way God intended. Use the power God gives you...imagine, my friend.
