The change you are looking for is now! Take the moment to reflect, when did you stop dreaming and envisioning your tomorrow? You have seeds of greatness that have been deposited in you before your existence. God in all his essence was thinking about you. “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!”(Psalms 139:16:17
God directed his thoughts towards you and deposited seeds of greatness. We can easily get discouraged when we believe our dreams about a better tomorrow are impossible.
According to Batterson, “Everything that exists was once an idea in someone’s imagination. Before becoming a physical reality, it was a chemical signal firing across billions of synapses within the cerebral cortex.”
If You Stop Imagining, You Will Stay Stuck in Your Today
These are several questions I want you to consider:
- What can you envision about your life to make it better?
- What are you dreaming about?
- Your subconscious doesn’t recognize the past, present or future, only the now.
- Whatever you continue to meditate on will become your reality today.
Walt Disney created a theme park for his family and for families around the world. Against all odds and all the doubters, he believed and dreamed of a magical place where you would never have to grow up. Dreaming big would be the essence to find joy and happiness. Walt’s dreams became for millions their reality, including mine. Yet let’s dive deeper. Success and unique innovations didn’t come overnight, Walt Disney himself was rejected more than 300 times before Mickey Mouse became a success. Overcoming adversity and shifting your perspective on success can make you more resilient, adaptable, and creative. As Walt himself put it, “It is good to have a failure while you’re young because it teaches you so much. For one thing, it makes you aware that such a thing can happen to anybody, and once you’ve lived through the worst, you’re never quite as vulnerable afterward.”
Instead of “Its a small world”, the Mighty Creator spoke a big world into existence. He had you in mind. “Everything that exists originated in the omniscient imagination of the Almighty. It was a thought before it became a thing and that includes you. You were once an idea and the imagination of God. Hold that thought for a minute”, shares Batterson. According to scripture, “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God and take every thought captive to obey Christ”(2 Corinthians 10:5). It’s important to control the way you think, not only what is negative but to pull down your dreams and visions. Now let’s talk about God ideas:
- Choose a God idea over a thousand good ideas. God ideas according to Batterson change the course of history.
- When you find a God idea, you must nurture it and take it captive.
There are three ways to experience God ideas. First pray and connect your vision through time spent with God. Allow you dreams to align with God’s best for you.
