The truth about vision boards explained

 

It’s the beginning of a New Year, and for many in the personal growth arena, this means it’s vision board time.

 

Many people make a vision board at the beginning of each year, or at each trimester or season to help them attain their goals more efficiently.

 

If you’re like us, you might have wondered if vision boards are biblical at all. You might have wondered if Christians should make a vision board, or is it simply a New Age practice that we should stay away from.

In this episode, we’ll look at all four corners of the subject of Vision Boards. We’re gonna dig deeper into the subject to see if God condemns it, condones it, or perhaps understands that this is just one more tool for us to go further in expanding the Kingdom. 

One thing is for sure… we will dispel the myth that this is just a New Age sham.

Are you ready? let’s dig deeper...

Memorable Quotes:

 

“First of all, a vision board is just a tool. It won’t get the work done for you. You still need to put in the work.”

 

“The reason why you look at your vision board every day is for your subconscious to act as a heat-seeking missile. So when an opportunity presents itself to you, if it is aligned with what matters to you, you will instinctively target and pursue it.”

 

 

“Your vision board should focus on how you want to feel, not just on things that you want.”

 

 

“Vision boards without properly directed actions are simply delusion boards.”- Sebastien Richard

 

 

“Before you consider making a vision board, it is imperative that you first fix your mindset towards money.”

 

 

“If you put “write a book” on your vision board, guess what, meditating, praying, and visualizing won’t make the book write itself - you still have to put in the work.”

 

 

“A vision board is only a tool you give yourself to give you a visual target and to stay focused on what God put in your heart.”

 

 

Vision board paraphrase of Deuteronomy 8:17-18: “You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my vision board have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the desires of your heart which are on your board.”

 

 

“There aren’t any Bible passages telling believers to build a vision board. But there are plenty of Bible passages that speak of the importance of having a vision.”

 

 

Where there is no vision, the people perish.” ~ Proverbs 29:18

 

 

“Then the LORD answered me and said, “Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, that the one who reads it may run.” ~ Habakkuk 2:2

 

 

“It is unfortunate that many believers have left God’s leading out of it (investigating New Age teachings). Like I’ve said many times, they have thrown the baby out with the bathwater.”

 

 

“Ultimately, it’s between you and God. It’s about the dreams He put in your heart. It’s about the Vision He gave you for your life. It’s about you putting things in place to enable you to get there faster and more efficiently.”-Sebastien Richard
