My name is Colette from Encounter Tribe, and today’s theme is Godly Imagination. 🌌
Last night, I had a dream that felt like God was affirming how He made me—especially how I use my imagination to connect with Him. I call it my “heart screen,” and He loves meeting me there. 💛
In the first part of the dream, it was about my 7-year-old son. His imagination is wildly vivid—his teacher used to say he could almost live in another world. I’ve been nervous about how his next teacher will handle that, but in the dream, God assured me he’ll be just fine. 🙏
As a child, I had a vivid imagination too. I’d get so caught up in stories in my mind that a 30-minute chore could take me hours. 😂
The second part of the dream, I was sitting with my Grandma Amy (who’s now in heaven). I asked her, “Where do you wish you traveled in the world?” She said, “Probably Egypt.” I asked if she’d ever visited in her mind. She said no. That hit me.
I believe God was highlighting the gift of imagination—not to be wasted or misused.
It’s important to note, I’ve had vain imaginations too—anxious thoughts that created fear. But the Lord has taught me to take those thoughts captive and refocus on Him (2 Cor. 10:5).
In my retreats, I guide people through encounters using scripture and prompts to activate their imagination—what Isaiah 26:3 calls “mind,” which can also be translated as imagination or framework.
You keep him in perfect peace whose imagination stays on You, because he trusts in You.
Today I’m finally sharing a recorded encounter I was once too afraid to release. But fear doesn’t win here.
My heart is for you to encounter God—easily and intimately.
