Prayer is Imagination

"Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV).

After affirming this Bible verse, I realize the importance of using prayer throughout the day, instead of just several minutes in the morning. The more I use prayer, the more powerful the results. Therefore, I should spend my day wearing my prayer, just as I do my clothes.

When I use prayer, I am communicating with God. I begin communicating with words that eventually transform into imagination. And this imagination transforms into reality.

Given this, the key to successful prayer is imagination, since imagination creates reality. Imagination is the essence of prayer.

I use my imagination to envision how I would like to be, and wear this imagination as I do my clothes. This will inevitably cause me to become the person that exists in my imagination.

Invulnerable Belief and Imagination

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee" (Isaiah 43:2 KJV).

Upon affirming this Bible verse, I realize that God is always with me, protecting me from all harm. That I can pass through all life's trials unscathed. That I am invulnerable. I am like Achilles without the Achilles' heel.

I am invulnerable, because I believe and imagine myself to be invulnerable. Belief and imagination always precede reality. Belief and imagination create reality.

German theoretical physicist Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is everything." American self-help advocate, author, and lecturer Wayne Dyer once said, "You'll see it when you believe it." I agree with both of them. Imagination and belief are very important skills to have in life.

Ask by Prayer and Imagination

"And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you" (John 16:23).

Upon affirming this Bible verse, I realize that the secret to living life successfully is to ask. I realize that if you want something in life, ask for it and it is yours.

Nevertheless, you must ask in the right way to obtain what you ask for. You must ask with some degree of intensity rather than in a half-assed manner. When you ask for something via prayer, imagine that you already have it as you go about your day.

For example, if you want a brand new, red, smooth-riding Corvette automobile, every time you get into your current, old, beat-up lemon of an automobile, imagine that you are driving the brand-new, red, smooth-riding Corvette. Eventually, your imagination will become reality. Imagination equals creation.

Prayer must always be coupled with imagination for it to work. A prayer without imagination is a prayer without power and faith. If you say a prayer without imagination, you are praying in a half-assed manner. You will get no results or weak ones at best.

You have heard the adage "A picture is worth a thousand words." It is actually worth much more.
