1 Corinthians 8:2 RSV
If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Imagination is something everyone has but don’t use, either because they don’t know how, or they use it wrongly. Imagination is the first step to becoming whatever! Your mind sees, hears, feels and achieve before you ever do physically or naturally.
Imagination is the formation of ideas or pictures in the mind of a vision, it is to form a mental image of someone or thing, or to conceive in the mind.
Imagination is also to scheme or to devise plans and purposes says Psalm 62:3.
Imagination is a powerful tool that can create what we wish to see. The bible is literal writing, but the power of our imagination mixed with faith brings it alive through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Word Himself is alive and made flesh to dwell in us but He must become flesh in both our hearts and mind to give expression to our imagination declares John 1:14.

Imagine!
