Read: Genesis 13:14-17

Meditation verse:

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7).

Everything in life is created twice. First in the mind and then in reality. Your mind  sees it and your body takes you there. The brain is a pattern matching organ,  what it visualizes, it wills the body to accomplish. I believe so much in the power  of visualization because I have a personal experience with visualization.

There is a deep tendency to become what your mind pictures, provided you hold  the mental picture strongly enough and the objective is sound. Visualization  breeds expectation. And when you expect the best, you release a magnetic force  in your mind which attracts the best to you. Visualization enables you to focus  on a future realization. This expectation supplies fuel to the body. Sustained  expectation of the best sets in motion forces which cause the best to materialize.

There is a connection between your mind and the outcomes you get out of life.  You conceive in the womb of your destiny and birth whatever you focus on.  When God was leading the children of Israel to the promised land, He repeatedly  told them that the land was beautiful and good, flowing with milk and honey.  He wanted them to create a mental image of the place. In Genesis 13:14-17, God  said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look  from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and  westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants  forever”.

You can visualize yourself navigating that present difficulty. You can visualize  yourself succeeding in that business. You can visualize yourself overcoming that  obstacle. You can visualize yourself pushing the boundaries of your limitations  and going beyond expectations. You can visualize just about anything. 

Visualization can work against you also. If you visualize negative trends, the  brain goes in search of such occurrence and brings them to your reality. It is  called self- fulfilling prophecy in Psychology. Never forget, the brain is a pattern  matching organ.
