Imagination

29/5/06 Imagination
What you imagine has the power to build or to destroy. Imagination is the inner eyes of the soul that reflect on the state of your heart. If your heart is gripped by fear then your imagination will be filled with fearful images. If your heart is filled with love then your imagination will be filled with love images. If you are tormented or controlled by lust then images of lust will possess you. The devil works through your imagination to destroy. Dreams are a reflection of the state of your soul.
You have some insight into the state of your soul by studying the main themes of your imagination. You can then take steps to change it. Your imagination is based on your beliefs, which control your thought life and what you will do, or behaviour. When you are filled with God’s Word then you will imagine His works and do them. This is why it is so important what you allow yourself to see and hear. All your senses can influence your imagination. A touch works through your imagination to produce images of love or hate. People who lack this capacity imagine things in order and there is no feeling associated with it other then when the order is disrupted. People who lack imagination have problems in relationships because they are unable to feel and flow with the story line and therefore miss the point. They are good at numbers and figures but lack the capacity to abstract and therefore perceive the deeper meaning of situations. The ability to abstract is related to imagination.
Imagination is the God given ability to see with the mind’s eye and to form a picture that enables you to feel and enjoy life to its fullness. Without imagination life is a boring grey with no colour.
Therefore check what you imagine for it can lead you to fear the worst or enjoy the best. Fear fuels your imagination and this is what leads to anxiety and depression.
Key to success is in imagining that which leads to success.
