How does a vision differ from imagination?

How does a vision differ from imagination?
Imagination refers to our own thoughts.
Visions refer to scenes that we see in our minds while we are awake or asleep.

May I know what you see in your visions ?

I am led to believe that this was a vision from God, due to different experiences that i have had throughout my life. I am not trying to be vain or anything of that nature, but my i have a strong desire for fashion, designing, makeup, etc any and every aspect of it...not "i gotta have this or that"...but to me it is an art and i appreciate it in all it's creativity. Why i am more leening towards this is coming from God, i have had dreams about this and they never were rooted in lust, greed, vanity or anything of the devil-he cannot imitate love and holiness.

I even had a situation where i was "coming to" in between sleep and wake and it was like sort of a dream/vision/voice i dont know but the person in this scenario an italian whom i haven't seen in ages (since primary school) came to me in this vision/dream and said that "i am going to italy". I hate to divulge the details for fear of being laughed at or mocked but i will only tell you what is necessary for you to understand me. I also had a dream where i met with a well known designer to work on a project, and it was like God hid the identity from me, i know it was someone big, someone who's work and style i am familiar with, i hate to call names but everybody knows the brand.

What i have been experience especially over the last year is that things seem to be unravelling bit by bit...the Bible in 1st Corinthians 13:9-10 says: "for we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away." I can attest to this because my "eyes have not seen, ears have not heard nor has it entered my heart the things which God has already prepared". I do not talk about this because of fear of ridicule, and people will think that i am making up stories-i am not. I know that i do not know everything God has in store for me, and he reveals it to me piece by piece, because he knows that i am not ready to recieve it...i myself question the validity of the dreams i dream, things i see, visions i vision. I am not caught up in "figments of my imagination"...i know what it is to have dreams from the abyss, and dreams of God...because God is always Love. I know that i need to trust God more with what he has shown me, and the fact that i get overwhelmed with fear seems to be more than from my "human nature"...i have recieve so much negativity, discouragement, and straighout attacks from satan..that this only leads me to believe that there is something in the fashion industry to do, some calling. Never once have i sticked my head out chasing my desire, i had this in my heart, but the mere fact that the enemy can bring such fear to something that cannot be seen by others, only felt by me seems to be confirmation. It is mybelief that God is giving me the go-ahead to step out on the water in faith, of my hearts desiree. I am so torn writing this, but i am the type of person who does not posess talents such as music, signing, speaking in tongues all of the "gifts" of the Holy Spirit and from God that people are familiar to recognize. I am discovering my talents are in my personality, and hospitality, i had always desired to have a beautiful voice, or be "good at something." And i as i am growing in God i am finding out, that i can be an influence to people for God, just by being myself, being easy to talk to, easily adjust to different cultures, people with different lifestyles. It took me all of my life to realize that i posess this talent...because it is something i do really well.

I guess wherever i go, wherever i follow my desire i will carry this with me, because God created me in a unique way for winning souls for Christ.

Amen! Rock on, sis! It sounds as if God is doing a great work in you. Remeber that there were very specialized craftsmen that God called out by name to decorate His tabernacle. It sounds as if He is doing the same to you. Remember that we are now the temple of God, clothing us is an awesome calling. :clap: I expect to see your line of stuff very soon, I wish you already had a trade mark or something so that we can recognize your entry into the fashion world. I am praying that God will do a quick and powerful work through you to bring glory to His name.

Replay it. If the clothes change, it is imagination. If every detail remains the same, it is a vision. (Imo) If it does not replay, it is not a vision.

I totally disagree with this. Not all visions can be replayed. When I have visions I may remember all the details, however I can not just replay it.

Ok. One of the mental pics the Spirit gave me recently is something Im still thinking through...
I felt the annointing power & then I saw the blue star of David on a white background(exactly like the Israeli flag). Then I saw about 6 swords fall, point down, into an exact circle around the star.
Not sure if this is related to coming events or closer to Jesus' return. & if this represents groups that will fight against Israel or countries.

Anyone have thoughts here...they're welcome.

Only one thought, I get all pentacostal when I think about the fact that the swords fell, and that they fell point down! :clap: I think swords raised against the flag, would be battles started, but swords falling might mean battles finally finished, or oppositions resolved.

gracechick when the city constolepole was conqured in 1453 by the ottoman empire the man who started the ottoman empire hundreds of years before had a vision of swords surrounding and pointing towards constolepole he and the next 7 sultans attacked the city the 7 sultan which was also the 8 finnally conquered the city. my point is that the meaning to what you were shown is not new and the meaning has been proven, israel is in for some tough days ahead and is going to attacked, however no matter how many come against them we do already know the outcome according to the bible.
