Diana Sykes: Imagineering


Imagineering:
Everyone of us has the power to imagine and have a vision for great things.
Proverbs 29:18 says, without a vision or an imagination the people perish!
Imagine means to form a picture or to think.
An engineer uses insights to scale or model a solution to a product or objective.
We are talking today about two different types of people who used their imagination.  One for selfish motives for glory for themselves and the other at the instruction of the Lord to carry out God's purposes.  But, they both used their imaginations to conceive and form solutions.

The people in Gen 11:3 wanted to build a tower.  God even said about them because they were one people that agreed or saw the same thing, nothing would be impossible.  Think about that!  What a statement of the ability man has been given.  These people, however, had their own selfish motives, not God's desires for them, and God came down and confused them.

On the other hand, God found a man named Abraham who used his vision to see what God wanted for him and we are experiencing blessings in life today because of his faith and imaginings!

Many years ago, I worked near an airport and I imagined myself flying all over the world enjoying God's blessings and ministering His word, and it came to pass!  At that time, it did not seem possible for that to come to pass in the natural.

Why don't you begin Imagineering great things for your life?  Write down your desires and make a mental picture of what you want.  God has dreams and desires He has placed in your heart that He wants to perform but He works with your imagination and words of faith to bring them to pass.
