A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How can Christians use their imagination wisely?
Paul calls the Philippians to think about what is true, just, and worthy of praise, then to put what they learned into practice. Second Corinthians speaks of bringing thoughts into obedience to Christ. Use both passages when judging what you are picturing and what that picture leads you to do.
Using Your Attention to Prepare for Faithful Action
The longer set considers promises, thought, and inward pictures. The Philippians passage joins what you consider with what you do. Take an ordinary example, such as giving a patient reply in a tense meeting. Picture the response, pray for help, and practice it when the moment comes.
Put one quote into practice
Choose a clear Biblical instruction and picture a realistic way to carry it out. Describe the specific person, action, and setting. If a thought makes you fear a future event, write down what is known and use prayer and counsel to decide what is yours to act on.
