Imagining Unborn Tomorrows

Everything originates as an idea in someone's imagination—an electrochemical signal.
Examples include: Washington D.C.'s layout (Pierre-Charles L’Enfant), a chef's menu, an entrepreneur's business plan, a musician's score.
God's ideas are different from good ideas; they change history. Seek God's ideas through prayer (dreaming is praying).
To transform ideas into reality, capture them (blueprint, magic trick, choreography etc.).
The author connects this to personal actions, stating that writing, planning, and developing are ways to realize ideas.
God works backward: He's already envisioned your future good works.

God's Vision and Provision

God's vision for your life exceeds your own.
Compare your dreams with God's bigger plans.
God's plans involve provision: splitting the Red Sea, stopping the sun, feeding Elijah, saving Jonah, protecting three people from fire, and protecting Daniel from lions.
God exists beyond space-time.
Turning ideas into reality takes time, resources, and effort (blood, sweat, and tears).
God is capable of exceeding our comprehension of His power.

Our thoughts can be turned toward Christ, but the author suggests focusing on positive God-given ideas.
Examples of "taking captive" thoughts: architects, magicians, choreographers, musicians, sports coaches.
