Vision dictates behavior
The human brain works primarily through vision – whether that’s what your eyes see, what your mind remembers, or what your imagination ponders.
Give your brain an image and it will use all its might to seize it. When your stomach realizes that it’s hungry, your brain brings to memory the image of food that you want or what’s available at the moment. Then you begin the process to search for that food, then prepare it, digest it, and finally your hunger ceases. If that image had not been stored in a “database” of your mind, the place that contains all the images of all the food you’ve seen and tasted since birth, then you wouldn’t know what to do with your hunger. This would also explain why you don’t have a desire to eat food you’ve never seen.
This illustrates how faith works; it follows the very same process. Faith sees what it wants through the eyes of the imagination, fed by the word of God. The cure to any type of cancer, the debt paid in full, forgiveness from sins, a complete life transformation…
Once this vision of faith is fixed in the mind, the person begins to unite their strength in order to make it happen. Prayer, attitude, challenges, boldness, sacrifice, a change in behavior… all of this is moved by the strength of that vision.
The cancer patient begins to confess that they’re cured. They don’t plan on spending the rest of their life in chemotherapy, and through the eyes of faith they see the medical report confirming that they’re healed. So they start to behave accordingly.
Those in debt see themselves debt-free. They prioritize paying it off, act with discipline in their finances, negotiate with their creditors, and giving their tithes they test God… And before you know it the vision becomes reality.
Everything in life first requires a vision, then a solution. When your vision changes, your behavior will follow because the vision dictates what you do.
Where have you looked with your physical eyes?
What have you remembered through your memory?
How have you been using your imagination?
