Journaling from Colin Tucker:
Lord, when is “priming the pump” acceptable and unacceptable?
Perfect Peace When Your Imagination Is...Question: A ministry I was learning from says that you are teaching visualization which is not scriptural. What is your response to this? Mary
Answer: Thank you for your question, Mary. What we teach is that if man chooses what he wants to picture and visualizes that, then that is wrong. If God grants you a dream or a vision, or Jesus paints a parable, or the Bible tells a story, it is not wrong to picture these things.
We define "Godly Imagination" as picturing things the Bible says are true.
Jesus saw visions all the time. He only did what He saw His Father doing (Jn. 5:19, 20; 8:38). I want to imitate Jesus. But before I could live that way, I needed first to learn how to become a seer. Daniel simply said, “I looked,” and he saw (Dan. 7:2, 9, 13)! However, for many years, I didn’t look and so I didn’t see.
