The Power of Imagination and Conception
📌 The Greek word translated as "mind" in Isaiah 26:3 ("keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee") is the same word translated as "imagination" in other Old Testament verses, like Genesis 6:5.
📌 This word literally means "conception," highlighting that keeping one's mind on God means allowing His word to conceive within you.
🖼️ Words paint pictures; humans think in images, and you cannot remember anything you cannot picture internally.
🧠 Imagination is essential for daily function, used unconsciously for navigation (finding a car, knowing directions) and must be intentionally directed toward positive visions.

Scriptural Context of Imagination
📜 The word "imagination" appears 35 times in the Old Testament, almost exclusively in a negative context (e.g., imagination of man's heart being only evil).
🚧 The Bible suggests casting down negative imaginations, as they are strongholds against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:3).
💡 The one positive scriptural use of the word related to positive mental activity is in Psalm 2:1, where it is translated as "imagine a vain thing," connecting it to meditation.

Hope, Faith, and Conceiving Miracles
🌱 The speaker posits that hope is positive imagination—seeing with the heart what the eyes cannot yet see (Romans 8:24).
✨ Faith is the substance of things hoped for; therefore, conceiving or seeing the desired outcome is foundational to manifestation.
🔑 The Word of God is described as "incorruptible seed" (1 Peter 1:23, *spora*), which must be planted in the heart through meditation for results (healing, prosperity) to manifest.
🔮 The speaker cites examples, including seeing himself raise the dead for six months in his dreams until a real-life miracle occurred, emphasizing that conception is more exciting than birth.

The Role of the Holy Spirit
🔥 The Holy Spirit is crucial for a positive imagination because, by default, humans operate in a fallen, negative world view.
📖 Receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit (separate from being born again) makes the Word of God "come alive," acting as a catalyst for positive conception and releasing power.
🗣️ Speaking in tongues is presented as a normal result of receiving the Holy Spirit, which unlocks the power needed to manifest the seed planted by the Word.
🧭 The Holy Spirit will show you things to come (John 16:13), making your vision/imagination come alive.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Your imagination is your spiritual womb; if you cannot see something internally, you will never see it externally.
➡️ Meditate on the Word of God until it paints a picture on the inside of you, moving beyond mere reading to active visualization.
➡️ If you lack the power to maintain a positive vision, seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which lights a fire that makes the Scripture alive and releases power.
➡️ Stop planning based on limitations (e.g., medication schedules); instead, intentionally visualize and focus on the desired state (healing, wholeness), as Proverbs 23:7 states, "As he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
