Our imagination can wander into places that it probably shouldn’t go. When our imagination takes us into the gutter instead of to the mountain top, we need to begin thinking as God thinks. We have vivid imaginations that turn negative very quickly. The Bible says to TAKE CAPTIVE those negative imaginations and fling them down! (2 Corinthians 10:5)
I Challenge You To:
− Believe that God is able to do more than we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20)
− Take captive and cast down ANY negative imagination that might try to talk you out of what God is trying to talk you into (2 Corinthians 10:5)
− Where there is no vision the people perish (so GET ONE!) (Proverbs 29:18)
− Grab hold of the vision, write it down and RUN WITH IT!!! (Habakkuk 2:2)
Be Encouraged
God gave you these desires. Agree with him that he will pave the way for you to pursue them. For he is already walking this path with you today.
In Ephesians 3:20 it says, “Now to Him who, is able to do (on the inside of us), exceedingly, abundantly, above all we could ever ask or imagine according to the power that works within us.”
