I'm leaning towards thinking vision boards may be demonic, because some people tend to make idols out of their desires. I would love to hear your opinions and maybe some scriptures about this please.
The only way to answer that question is by evaluating the issue with another question: is it about advancing His Kingdom or self?

I have a vision board and whatever I'm trying to manifest I back it up with scripture.
For example I wanted to manifest good credit so I put that on my board and I loosed it in heaven and earth by holding on to Deuteronomy 15:1 and the law of debt cancellation (I hope that's the right verse). I want to finish grad school next year so next to a picture of a cap and gown I added proverbs 2:2-11.
The law of attraction isn't something that the world invented. These principles are discussed throughout the bible. You have to have a vision and faith if you want something in your life whether its a house, peace in your household, or to be healed. Jesus said "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24 NIV)

Yes Yes Yes!
I think that hard work is the basis of success, as well as ability. Where one is lacking, one should ask Creator. Given that the difference between christians and non-christians is the personal relationship with the Divine Presence amongst us, Jesus, we have a deeper sense that everything in our lives matters, even the small things. We can ask Him everything according to His will. The world doesn't comprehend this and fashions other ways to come to success. There's nothing wrong with positive thinking and good effort, but we know that christians will be ostracized for even the notion that where there is lack, one can ask the Father. I guess when you have that closeness with Him, it's not ridiculous in the least and it certainly doesn't mean G-d is deaf nor incapable. We sometimes do not have because we do not ask. Ask.....HIM. And that goes for everything, including a good spouse.
I have stories from people who weren't christians at all but asked G-d to help them...and He did. I mean, to the letter of what they asked for. The stories are encouraging.
And it's not just truly "christian" to put your life into the Father's hands...it goes back long before...back to Genesis. Just make sure that, in the vision, He is the focus. No hocus-pocus.
Thing is, we don't know where it is applied in the spiritual realm. Someone unknowing at all can still go to heaven but that it was paid for in advance by you know who.
As I respond, this is not coming against you in disrespect nor disharmony.
I want to make a strong point to 'Be careful with this' perception, as it can be misleading...it 'implies' that Jesus is not the 'only' path into God's kingdom.
In connection, 'you know who' is a 'dismissal' of God's importance. His Name is Jesus, not you know who.

Shimmie Maybe different people have different ideas of the purposes of this because it's become so popular among non believers. LOA/vision boards, to me, is just the name non-believers give to the power of Faith. The Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. The act of speaking forward fruition in your life is nothing new regardless of how it's advertised. We need only the faith of a mustard seed to move mountains, and when I am blessed with the breakthrough I have been praying for, I give all of my praise to the Lord.
Having a strong faith as your foundation is crucial because you don't want to forget that God takes us through trials and tribulations. Find the Job in you and praise Him anyway. You can't be sitting around wondering why the "LOA" isn't working like it used to and getting depressed. That's a weak show of faith in HIM.
The world gives up when their LOA/vision boards/luck seems to run out. Christians are supposed to stay strong and remain soldiers for the Word.
Shimmie So do you think vision boards and such are diverting people away from going to God in prayer? I see what you are saying, and I am going to pray about it. I don't want to be hard-hearted.
mieshashair "Anything that does not reverence God/Jesus and leaves him out is NOT of him. And if u/it r not with God then it/u r against God." << This is true now.
I definitely see where you all are coming from.
I am Christian and hv been been saved along time, not saying I'm perfect by NO MEANS! I was just reading over the comments and I want to say that I once three years ago was introduced to LOA and I got pretty intrigued with it and wanted to know more about it. I bought the secret and watched it and read the book, but I noticed I kept getting an unsettling spirit about it but I kept going. I made vision boards etc. But I NEVER seen any types of manifestation from it. About 3 weeks ago I had in depth discussion with some ppl about it and realized it was NOT of God!!! I then immediately threw away everything I had in my home that was related to the LOA!!! If u noticed they gv god NO reverence to God they believe u hv the power to manifest things on your own and if that were the case we would not hv the need to go through Jesus and there would be no need to pray and ask God for anything because we wouldn't need him we could manifest it ourselves. Now we are to hv faith and trust that God can bring our desires according his will to pass in our life. Anything that does not reverence God/Jesus and leaves him out is NOT of him. And if u/it r not with God then it/u r against God.
If u find that u r offend by what I just typed then it's time to do some self inventory and seek God to make sure u r making wise decisions in your beliefs
