Faith or Visualization? — 4 Comments

  1. Shalom.

    You ask this question, ” …should our frame of reference be the thing that we are seeking or should it be in our faith towards the very One whom we believe in?”
    We know the answer is Matt. 6:33, but the world teaches Matt. 6:32.

    “Our frame of reference” should ALWAYS be God`s Word, what He actually teaches.
    There is a place for “seeing” (visualizing) BUT not in the way the world teaches it.
    Ex. If God says “You’re healed” (1 Pet. 2:24, Is. 53:5) and you believe, then what are you SAYING to yourself? What are you HEARING yourself say? Because what you hear yourself say will be what you “SEE” INWARDLY (Prov. 4:21) Also in the NT, one of the Greek word for “see” is Horao, which is described as seeing with the mind, seeing spiritually, or with inward perception.

    God taught Abraham to see with his mind (imagination), by looking at the stars, the magnitude of His Word (promise) to him. It was a way to strengthen his faith. (The starry picture served to amplify / magnify what God had promised him)
