Traveling into the future



Part two of the series “How to define a vision for your life.” Read the first part here.

Now you’re going to travel into the future. You choose the date, whether it’s a year from now, eighteen months. Two years. Five. You decide. If you’ve never done this I suggest you start with a year from now. Let’s say you’re going to travel to May 7th, 2014.

The means of transportation will be your imagination. You’re going to go to your bedroom, office, or any other place where you can be alone and far from interruptions. Pen and paper in hand, and if you have a calendar handy, open it up to that date.
You’re going to close your eyes and imagine the life that you want to have on that date. Then you’re going to begin to speak about what you see through the eyes of faith in a loud voice. Don’t let it stay in your imagination but speak loudly. This is a very important step.
Here are some hints on how to begin. Start to say:
  • Today is … (say the future date, ex. May 7th, 2014.) I am… years old
  • My health is…
  • I’m happy with my body because…
  • In the last (twelve months) the main financial conquests I’ve experienced are…
  • My current income is…
  • My marriage/love life/family life is…
  • Spiritually I am…
  • Friends who comment about my life say…
  • I’m living in (say where,) with (name of people)
  • Talk about the means of transportation used
  • The project that I’m the most proud to have accomplished in the last 12 months is…
  • My personality evolved, I became better as a person, especially in this area…
  • Today is … (say the future date, ex: May 5th, 2014.) I am… years old (finish saying the date again.)
Don’t limit yourself to the above points. The more vivid and detailed the image you see in your mind, the better. You really have to close your eyes and imagine what you want your reality to be on that date. As if your life is a movie and you are the screenwriter or director.
After you imagine and describe your life out loud, you’re going to put these words and images on paper. If you have a voice recorder even better: when you’re imagining and speaking, record your voice. Then, simply listen to yourself in the recording and write the main points.
This is the second step, see the next step tomorrow.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen… By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Hebrews 11:1-3

P.S. Vision is for those who believe. Those who don’t believe think what we’re teaching here is ridiculous. Where do you stand?

This helps to put my life into perspective by guiding me with clear goals and a time frame to achieve or attain it.
Thanks again Pastor Jonathan.
